Chapter 55: God of Auctions (2) (1)

.



Han Hyun-min concealed a smile at the corner of his mouth.

In a low voice, he placed his bid.

-400 million.

-500 million.

Another twist occurred once again.

This time, Do Jae-hyun placed a competing bid without hesitation.

When he bid 300 million, his face wrinkled in annoyance, but when he bid 500 million, his expression remained blank.

It was the same face he had when he first bid.

While it might seem unchanged to others, Han Hyun-min understood the significance.

‘He’s determined to take it.’

When competition arises for the desired item, he engages in competitive bidding without hesitation. His attitude indicates a strong determination to acquire this item.

And such a demeanor...

‘That’s your mistake, Do Jae-hyun.’

For him, a hunter of auctions, it was nothing but a prey full of flaws.

-1 billion.

With confidence, Han Hyun-min swiftly raised the bidding unit.

As the competition ensued with increments of 100 million, the price suddenly jumped to 5 billion.

While such price fluctuations are common in auctions, intense price competition for unappraised items is rare.

Of course, there are times when competition for unappraised items goes beyond several tens of billions of won.

For instance, domestically classified artifacts deemed as ‘items’.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

Items steeped in history could be legendary or, even if not legendary, possess significant performance.

Auction prices are determined considering these aspects.

In fact, even the [Sword of Repentance], an unappraised item at the time, achieved an auction price of 90 billion based on excavation circumstances, conditions, and the item’s appearance.

However, this auction item had no relevant basis...

A completely unappraised live item.

Even if it were sold for just 100 million, it would sell well.

And around that time...

The surrounding Holders started to stir.

“What’s this? 1 billion?”

“What’s so special that you’d bid 1 billion? Isn’t it an unappraised item?”

“Hey, hey, that person is him. He’s a dedicated Holder from the Sunset’s Flower. His auction success rate is incredible, so shouldn’t we follow his lead?”

“Man, you followed, thinking something good would come out of the unappraised item. What in God’s name are you bidding 1 billion for?”

Even if he had a feeling, would he just bid 2 billion right away?

Unless he could use related runes to check unappraised items.

It was an amount that wouldn’t come easily.

‘Perhaps he thought I’d drop out.’

It’s only natural.

This amount is not something you’d bid on just out of competition.

If you followed here, you’d actually be the fool.

But Han Hyun-min smiled inwardly.

‘It’s still early, Do Jae-hyun.’

At least in terms of Holder auctions.

He was a veteran who played above Do Jae-hyun’s head.

“Eun-chul, is the Holder with the appraisal skill waiting outside?”

Han Hyun-min asked his junior clan member next to him.

Before this auction, he received support from the clan, totaling 40 billion won and a Holder with an ‘appraisal’ skill affiliated with the clan.

The clan demanded that he win items they required and, at his discretion, acquire items that would benefit the clan.

This was possible due to Han Hyun-min’s numerous auction successes as a member of <Sunset’s Flower>.

Thanks to this, he obtained many valuable items using approximately 33 billion won.

Leaving around 7 billion.

It was still more than enough to deal with a rookie Holder.

“Yes, he’s waiting outside.”

“He will go to the 6th floor reception desk after this item’s auction ends. Get this item and prepare for appraisal immediately.”

“Understood.”

Unlike regular items, ...

Unappraised items can be received by proxy. Due to the lengthy auction duration, many Holders want to appraise the items immediately and check the information. That’s why junior clan members are assigned to handle proxy receiving. This unappraised item, it’s certain that he will be the one to receive it.

-3 billion.

-4 billion.

Han Hyun-min placed a bid of 3 billion.

And Do Jae-hyun immediately followed with a bid of 4 billion.
