132 The Auction (5)

"This Legendary-Grade Cryo Core, as it is such a rare and precious treasure, shall be starting at a minimum bid of 183 million platinum coins. Now, let the bidding begin!"

Host Aquino folded his arms and tucked them against his chest, his tuxedo fitting his well-formed body tightly. As he stood there, he had regained his charm as the one presiding over a grand and auspicious occasion - one that many were hoping would be a turning over of a new leaf for Gorun City and the surrounding regions.

And as he stood there silently and smiling, the audience members began to whisper in hushed voices, discussing their bidding strategy and how they would approach this item. Some key aspects had to first be discussed before going in, such as target price, stop-loss price and increment approaches.
