"Let's check if there are some noteworthy stuff here."

Pedro sat comfortably on the sofa as he scans his interface. The interface initially showed up a mixed-up list. Hence, Pedro arranged it according to rarity. The highest rarity was on top, while the lowest was on the bottom.

"Eh?"

Pedro was astounded as soon as he saw the first three items on the list. It was no other than the three skills he placed in the auction. He smirked as he checked if there was anyone who bid for the skill.

"Meh... As expected, none of them has that much money yet."

Pedro shook his head as no one was still placing a bid for the three skills. He decided to scroll down slowly to check other stuff and make sure that no good stuff will escape his attention.

"Bronze weapon... bronze armor... bronze earing... Hah, these people... even selling needles? Who are you trying to fool? And for 50 silvers? come on man, find an embroider NPC. They'd give you needles, more or less!" He continued to scan the list for six minutes and was about to reach the end of the list.

"Hmm... Nothing worth the coins so far... I guess I'd go and bid for some weapons for them. Other than Sabrina, Everyone else is still with their beginner sword." Pedro selected some weapons and placed a bid on it.

...

Somewhere in an isolated part of a village, three players were standing together.

"Yo~Young Master... I found a 'Godly skill' in the auction!" A teen male player was nervous as beads of sweat fall from his forehead.

"Godly skill?" A well built young man wore a frown on his face.

"Yes. Though it is only Silver-rated, It can allow a player to transform into a wolf!"

"Transform? How much does it cost?"

"The~The bid required to surpass it is at... 1 Gold and 10 Silver coins already!"

"That high? Queis, can you supply me with that amount?"

"Mr. Crest, I can... but our limit is at 1 Gold and 70 Silver coins amounting to 100 thousand dollars." The big-bodied man replied as he scans through his player interface.

"That would do. Transfer the money to Sqwazle."

"..." The big-bodied man hesitated for a moment as he stared back at the young man.

"Don't worry. I'll send the money to your account. 100 thousand dollars right?"

"Yes. Then, it's a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Crest." Queis, The big-bodied man, sent the 1 Gold and 70 Silver coins to Sqwazle.

"Make sure to win that item Sqwazle! We need that item to gain an advantage over other players."

...

Since there were minutes left before the Main Auction, Pedro decided to check the skills he auctioned.

...

1) ~Transformation 1: Mountain Wolf~ skill Current bid: 1 Gold 50 Silver coins

Bid to surpass: 1 Gold and 60 Silver coins

2) ~Transformation 1: Mountain Wolf~ skill Current bid: 1 Gold 40 Silver coins

Bid to surpass: 1 Gold and 50 Silver coins

3) ~Transformation 1: Mountain Wolf~ skill Current bid: 1 Gold 40 Silver coins

Bid to surpass: 1 Gold and 50 Silver coins

...

"What? more than 1 Gold? They probably ignored the rating of the skill and was blinded by the transformation effects of the skill." Just as Pedro was still trying to calm himself after seeing the amount he might earn, Mathew sent Pedro a message.

...

[Player Killer Smile sent you a message!]

Killer Smile: Expert Brother! Three items are being fought over by all the closed beta players in the auction. Even some of my acquaintances contacted me to ask me if I can lend or sell them my coins. Considering this, I have a hunch that even the top gaming organizations and guilds were supporting closed beta players just to acquire those skills. Hence, I didn't lend my money and decided to tell you about this first.

...

"Did I cause that much commotion?" He shook his head in disbelief. Then, he replied to Mathew.

...

Death: Let them have it. We'll have a chance to get our hands with one of those in the future. For now, I suggest for everyone to bid for what you need, especially armors and equipment. Kindly, inform the other four.

Killer Smile: Aight, Expert Brother. :SaluteEmoji:

Death: Enjoy. :OkEmoji:

...

Minutes later the Players' auction has concluded. Pedro gained 4 Gold coins and 50 Silver coins amounting to 1 Gold coin and 50 Silver coins per skill. The weapons he bought for his Player Crew only cost him for 70 Silver coins. The weapons were sent directly to his inventory.

"I'll give these to them later." Pedro smiled as the System proceeds to the Main Auction.

[System Notification!]

The Main Auction will now start!

Good luck Players and Enjoy the Auction!

...

First Item.

[Laeotan Sword]

Rating: Gold-Rated weapon

...

...

...

Starting bid: 1 Gold coin

...

The closed beta player erupted as the starting bid was already at 1 Gold coin.

"What a scam!"

"Pay to win! Literally, Pay to win!"

(Pay to win in this game is through paying 'money farming' organizations or guild to farm coins. There was no real-money to in-game-money exchange available.)

"Curse those with the backings of companies and organizations!"

...

"Hahaha. I pity those who can only watch." Pedro smirked as he started the bidding on the sword.

"Although it is just a typical gold-rated sword, it would not hurt me to spend 1 Gold coin."

...

[System Notification]

Someone outbid you.

Current bid: 1 Gold 10 Silver coins

Bid to surpass: 1 Gold and 20 Silver coins

...

"Hmm... I guess I'll pass." Pedro rubbed his chin as he decided not to contest the bid anymore. The price of the first item increase, as expected. In the end, it was sold for 1 Gold and 70 Silver coins. The same goes for the second to sixth items auctioned reaching a huge amount of 3 Gold coins.

Pedro was not that interested in the first six weapons auctioned since they were just plain Gold-rated weapons. He would rather save his coins for the future that waste it for some weapon he has of no use.

...

Seventh Item.

[Book (Ship Manual)]

Rating: Gold-rated Item.

Contain information about the conquerors of the sea! Ships!

...

Starting bid: 2 Gold coins

...

"Finally, Something good!" Pedro placed a bid of 2 Gold coins on the book.

Books were obviously important things in the game. Like in the real world, they contain information and knowledge that anyone can learn and apply. Yet, Pedro knew that buying a Book has a drawback. Either he would have a use for that knowledge, or not. Still, compared to the previous items auctioned, it is of higher value.

...

[System Notification]

Someone outbid you.

Current bid: 2 Gold 10 Silver coins

Bid to surpass: 2 Gold and 20 Silver coins

...

"Seems like even if it is a book, it won't be that easy to win." Pedro frowned as he contested for the book. He placed a bid amounting to 3 Gold coins.

"Let's see if someone can still put up a fight." Fortunately, no one contested further and Pedro won the Book for 3 Gold coins. The book appeared into his inventory as the 3 Gold coins were subtracted to his money.

...

Eighth item.

[Deino's Necklace]

Rating: Gold-rated accessory

Special Effect: The gem in the necklace changes its color from blue into red, when poison or poisonous material enters its range.

Range of detection: 0.3 meters radius around the gem.

Starting bid: 4 Gold coins

...

"This is a good accessory. Although, it is of not much use to players. It would be a good gift to NPCs especially if you want to gain their favor." Pedro bid again. Surprisingly, no other players placed a bid allowing Pedro to win the Necklace.

...

Ninth Item

[Compass]

Rating: Silver-rated Item.

The only item that points towards the true north!

Starting bid: 1 Gold coins

...

"Hmm... This would be useful in the future." Pedro scratched his chin as he bid for it. No one contested his bid because for players, this item has of not much use and 1 Gold coin can only be afforded by players supported by tycoons and huge companies or organizations in the real world. In the end, he won the item leaving Pedro with 5 Gold coins in his balance.

Tenth Item.

[Erot's Eyes]

Rating: [Unknown]

[Unknown]

[Unknown]

[Unknown]

[Unknown]

Starting bid: 2 Gold Coins

...

"A... A God's Eyes! This is the real thing!" Pedro jumped from his seat from astonishment. Without a second thought, he placed a bid on the item. The picture of a pair of black eyes in a container ruined its image to the players. The item seemed like more of a collection than of any use to them. Only Pedro knew how godly this item was.

...

[Player Killer Smile sent you a message!]

Killer Smile: Expert Brother... Those pair of eyeballs!

Death: :OkEmoji:

...

The other players didn't contest Pedro's bid as they didn't see any value to the eyeballs. Hence, Pedro won it for 2 Gold coins leaving him with 3 Gold coins in his balance.
