After talking among themselves, Amon was chosen as their team’s representative. Although he didn’t particularly care if it was him or not going on stage, the girls insisted it should be him.

Arriving on stage, Amon said with a calm expression, “My name is Amon Tang from Golden Crow University. As time is short, I will be as brief as possible.”

Honestly, everyone already knew him and sought information about him, even all of the information there was concerning him at the university, as it was not restricted for other students from different universities to see the student’s rank.

Taking out the first item, which was a spell book, he introduced it, “I found this earth element offensive spell book with my team by chance. I searched the internet and found a similar book with a value of 800 contributions. The effect of the spell is to create spikes in the ground and attack an enemy. As for how powerful it can get, I really don’t know.”

After a little more basic explanation, he said, “The starting bid is 700 contributions.”

This was not too high of a value, and after a few seconds, some others had already done some research of their own and found that he was telling the truth, while others had asked teachers, and indeed, it was like Amon said: the spell would be worth at least 800 contributions if not more expensive.

Of course, if one was lucky, it might turn out to be an unregistered spell, meaning they might get even more if they sell the rights to the spellbook. Obviously, Amon had researched before and found books with similar information. Despite the name being different, there was the minute possibility of being charged as a plagiarist if he tried to commercialize this spell. He talked to the girls about it and they were willing to just sell it and get contribution points in exchange.

“700!” Many looked up in surprise to find that it was Andrew who made the bid.

“750!” Mary, who also had a genetic factor, raised her hand as she spoke.

“800!” Andrew said right away.

Amon’s eyes gleamed a little.

“810!” Mary continued.

“850!” As soon as Mary had bid, Andrew then increased the value. Mary looked at Andrew sadly and didn’t raise her hand again.

Amon started counting, but in the end, no one overbid. Winning, Andrew smiled and took the stage. The exchange was quick and friendly. Andrew left and Amon continued the auction.

“A Wind Stone,” Amon put it bluntly, “capable of increasing the wind genes a little. The commonly sold price can reach up to 350 alliance contributions and even if you convert and buy from universities, it will come out around that price. The starting bid is 200.”

Those who had wind genes didn’t even need Amon to explain this, as some of them had bought this type of stone before and knew he was telling the truth. Because of that, soon the bids came and in the end, it was sold for 300 contributions.

“The next item is an earth attribute ax,” Amon said, “Although it is not very powerful, it should be strong enough for those who have not yet reached the Innate stage. The starting price is 200 contributions.”

Amon demonstrated the ax in action. It was possible to see that it was more powerful than common weapons, but it did not reach the Innate level. However, not everyone was close to creating their first genetic factor, and because of this, the bids appeared and the item was bought for 250 contributions.

Soon after, the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth items were sold, leaving only the last two items to be auctioned.

“Earth Snake Monster Egg,” Amon said calmly as he showed an egg the size of a human head, “From the analysis of the system that was given to each of us before starting the tournament, this egg is extremely nutritious for those who possess the genetics of earth. By analysis, it’s said to be able to help even those who are in the Innate stage. While I cannot find the same item on the internet, I have found items with similar effects with a contribution value of 600 to 800.”

He paused, giving a chance to those who wanted to use analysis and check if what he was saying was true. After a while, he continued, “The starting bid is 500 contributions.”

“Hehe, Amon got us a small fortune.” Ariel licked her lips seductively as she spoke, mixed with a hint of laughter. “Now all that’s left is the last item.”

“Yes, more precisely, the ‘items’,” Barbara corrected her.

Ariel just smiled in response.

Not long after, Amon spoke again with the same calm expression as always,even while he was surrounded by people looking at him. “The next item is also the last.”

A four-legged wooden table appeared. On the table, Amon placed a basket, and inside the basket were some eggs not too big but not too small. Each egg was on average 10 cm.

“These are ten Wind Spider Monster eggs,” Amon said, “Each egg is very nutritious for the body, but it has a much greater effect for those who have wind genes. Each egg can be found on the universities’ official website. From what I’ve researched, the price on average can be as high as 150 per egg.”

After saying this, he said, “The starting bid price for the basket containing the ten eggs is 900.”

A team from Heavenly World University was talking to each other, and, after gathering all their contributions, they raised their hands and made the first bid. Shortly after them, someone raised their hand and raised the price to 950. That first team’s leader raised their hand after a little hesitation and bid again for 1000 contributions.

Silence took over. Amon did the counting, and after time ran out, it was sold to the team that made the opening bid. The exchange was quick, and it was also the moment when Amon announced the end of the auction. Applause sounds echoed. Meanwhile, those who still intended to do business in private started now, as time was limited to negotiate with students from other universities.

When Amon returned, he said with a small smile, “We got a total of 4,232 contributions. That, divided by 5, is 846.4 for each.”
