128 The Noble Dwarf      

In the game, Xin and Victor had met up at the fortress and were patiently awaiting Rever and the others as they engaged in conversation.

"Are you still pondering your plans for the upcoming Grand Auction?" Victor inquired, genuinely interested.

Xin nodded, his thoughts drifting to the potential benefits of the auction. "Yeah," he admitted, "the prize money could really help me buy back our old house and pay of some debt."

Victor was willing to support his friend, and he contemplated offering financial assistance. 

However, he sensed that Xin might prefer to handle things on his own and didn't want to accept charity.

"Don't get your hopes up too high," Victor cautioned. "Many of these bidders are interested in artwork from well-known artists."

"Like Vivi?" Xin asked, curious about the talented classmate.
