nTime passed slowly.
nIt was finally time for the auction.
nGenerally speaking, bars were only open at night and there were usually no customers during the day.
nHowever, Romeo’s Bar was jam-packed with people.
nLooking at the scene in front of him…
nLocke was very satisfied with Taylor’s performance.
nWere it not for Taylor, the auction would never have been made possible.
nSo, after this auction, what kind of reward would he give to her?
n“Let’s see the results first!”
nNot long after, Locke went up on stage.
nThe crowd immediately became lively.
nIt seemed that the person in charge was very young, and he might even be a student!
nThey could not help but be puzzled.
nIn a world where strength was everything, how could a little kid be allowed to speak?
n“Hey, kid, are you messing with us?”
n“You look shabby! I bet you can’t even take out a single Beast Egg!”
n“I don’t have time to waste here. How f*cking unlucky. How could I be tricked by such a little girl?”
nWith that, a big man glared fiercely at Taylor.
n“That’s right! Why did I fell for such a trick? That’s strange. Could it be because I drank a little wine that day?”
n“That little girl seems to be the one who sells the lucky fruit nearby. I’ll teach her a lesson later.”
nWithout a doubt, Taylor’s promotion had filled everyone with anticipation.
nHowever, they saw no other staff aside from Locke.
nThis made people doubt the professionalism of this auction.
nAt least, on the surface, the auction seemed very frivolous.
nAfter all, there were only two brats!
nRage!
nThe crowd began to complain.
nSoon, some people had become doubtful and joined the ruckus as well.
nAt this time, despite being the auctioneer, the principle that the customer was always right had long been forgotten by Locke.
nTo Locke, this was a win-win deal. They were not part of the auction, and as such, he cared little of their emotions.
nIn contrast, Locke was thoroughly impressed by Taylor’s ability to get that many people to attend.
nLocke immediately walked onto the stage.
nWith a wave of his hand, he placed ten Beast Eggs on the table.
nThe sudden appearance of the Beast Eggs shocked everyone.
nEveryone had seen Beast Eggs before and were very familiar with them.
nHowever, bringing out ten of them at once was very surprising!
nIt could only mean that the young man was from a wealthy background.
nThey were Beast Eggs, after all. Even If they were sold at the lowest price, the value of the Beast Eggs on the table had already exceeded 10 million federal coins!
nIt was an amount of money that most would never see throughout their lives!
nThe people present were all residents of the outer city, and as such, their knowledge of the world was limited. This was enough to shock them, and as a result, they immediately quieted down.
nEveryone was curious if what Taylor had said would come true.
nEveryone wanted to get a bargain!
nAt the same time, however, there were some who recognized Locke as the person who dealt with the Poison Wasp Swarm alone that day!
n“That’s right, it’s that young man! He was the one who single-handedly repelled the Poison Wasp Swarm and saved our skins!”
n“It seems that these are the Beast Eggs that he obtained back then.”
n“His luck is too good. Some could spend days in the spatial rifts and come out empty-handed, and he just so happens to have ten of them!?”
n“But this young man is really powerful. Which school is he from? I remember that he was wearing a school uniform that day!”
nMore and more people were beginning to recognize Locke.
nAfter all, Locke was the hero that day, and he had left a lasting impression on those he saved.
nOn the other hand, Locke was unconcerned about his information being exposed.
nThe reason was simple.
nThe news of him obtaining a divine rank Battle Beast would soon spread throughout Atlanta city.
nBy then, everyone would recognize him.
nMoreover, once he entered a top-tier academy, his name would spread throughout the Federation. Such was the fate of a genius.
n
nAs such, Locke did not mind his information being exposed.
nBack to the auction.
nOnce Locke realized that there were people who recognized him, a small grin crept across his face.
nIt seemed that his fame had increased by another notch.
nMoreover, it also seemed like he could proceed with the auction smoothly.
nLocke announced, “I believe everyone here already knows the rules.”
n
n“Then let’s get straight to the point!”
nBefore this, Taylor had already explained the rules of the auction in detail during her promotional efforts.
nSimply put, it was worth it!
nSoon, Locke placed a Beast Egg on his palm and pretended to weigh it.
n“I bet that this Beast Egg is blue in quality!”
nLocke held a Blue Beast Egg in his hand. The patterns on it were in the shape of ripples.
nFrom the looks of it, it was a water-type Beast Egg.
nAs for its grade, it was not something that could be detected by humans.
nAfter all, not everyone had the same ability as Locke.
nIn truth, Locke had seen everything. Despite being a blue quality Battle Beast, it would eventually evolve into a purple quality Battle Beast.
n
n“Then let’s start the auction! Everyone, please bid as much as you can!”
nActually, everyone had a certain degree of confidence, as Battle Beasts each had a certain percentage of hatching.
nThis was no secret.
n85% of the time, a Beast Egg would produce a green normal rank Battle Beast!
n10% of the time, it would produce a blue elite rank Battle Beast!
n3% of the time, it would produce a purple rare rank Battle Beast!
n…
nThe higher the rarity, the lower its chances of hatching would be.
nAs for the rose gold divine rank Battle Beast, the probability of it hatching was basically zero!
nSince it was a blue quality Battle Beast, it had a 10% probability of hatching. One in every ten eggs would yield such a quality!
nIf a person was lucky, they would only need to buy five of them. If that were to happen, it would only cost the person 5 million coins!
nIf they were unlucky, it would not be a matter of just ten Beast Eggs. Despite being only a blue quality Battle Beast, the cost was estimated to be in the tens of millions!
nMoreover, it was only for a blue quality Battle Beast!
nBack to the main topic.
nLocke already knew that it was a blue quality Battle Beast, and so he bet on it being blue quality.
nHe immediately declared, “I bet that this Beast Egg will produce a blue rank Battle Beast. The starting bid is 1 million coins!”
n1 Million!
nIf no one bade, or if only one person were to bid on it…
nThey would be able to obtain a blue quality Battle Beast with only a million coins!
nThis was a great thing!
nThe audience under the stage frantically discussed among themselves.
nLocke’s words did not end there, however.
n“The highest bidder will get it, but if it is not a blue quality Battle Beast, I will sell the egg for only 200 thousand federal coins!”
n
nWhat??
nLocke’s words spread throughout the audience,.
nEveryone was shocked.
nIt was simply too good of a deal! ! !
nAs long as it was not a blue rank battle beast, it would be sold at 200 thousand federal coins?
nThis was no different from giving it away!
nRemember, regular humans could only infer what kind of battle beast it was from its appearance!
nThey could not even see what quality the Battle Beast in the egg was!
nIn other words..,
nIt was not a gamble!
nTo them, it was more like receiving free money!
