Unlimited Auction House (extra)

At this point, Hammed already had some plans about his future power. However, to build one, subordinates are necessary.

And for one to get good and loyal subordinates, they had to bear the cost of their cultivation and treat them well.

That's why, at the moment, Hammed was looking for Common Level Planets and Martial Techniques. With them, he could groom capable and loyal members for his force.

Since his weapon type Artifacts were unique in this world, why not use them? He planned to create a double business. One part would be a Blacksmith Workshop, owned by mim in the "light". However, in the shadows, he would create an Assassination Service, that used the silent Sniper Rifles as weapons.

What kills more effectively and secretly, a close range dagger or a bullet shot from tens of thousand kilometers of the target? Obviously the latter.

...

Two noblemen were chatting low at Hammed's left

"I heard that the Unlimited Auction Company will be holding an auction this afternoon. If I'm not mistaken, lots of Common Level planets, and even a Spirit Level planet will be auctioned!!"

"That's great, I was planning to expand my power for a long time already, but if I get my hands on those, everything will go much more smoothly..."

After hearing this, Hammed continued seated there, drinking some wine and looking around.

Therefore, Hammed quietly got up and exited the tavern. The streets were quite vivid, with merchants selling their products, kids going to training grounds, beggars and cripples asking for Low Faith Stones...

Waking down the Main Street, he stopped in front a giant building. It looks more like a huge coliseum, with its tall pillars and cylindric form. Above it was written "Unlimited Auction House".

As so, Hammed stepped in the elegant building.

...

Therefore, he arrived at the reception, where a little woman asked

"Greetings young man, may I know what took you here today?"

"I'm interested in the auction that will be held this afternoon ."

"Ohh, so that's it. You can participate, but the common entrance costs 100 High Faith Stone, the private room is 500 High Faith Stones, and the VIP room costs 1000 High Faith Stones. Which one you choose?"

Hammed's finances weren't that bad, he had three thousand High Faith Stones from the duel, and three thousand Peak Faith Stones from Blacksmith Netherlord's disciple reward.

The currency system was very simple; one Sacred Faith Stone was worth a thousand Peak ones; one Peak Faith Stone was worth a thousand High ones; and so on.

Therefore, Hammed's wealth was around 3,003,000 High Faith Stones. Although it wasn't that much, it was suficiente to start a power.

"Humm..., I would like a private room please." Then, he waved his hand, and 500 High Faith Stones appeared above the table.

"Alright, here's your key, sir".

His room was number 23. As so, he headed to the auction room.

...

Auction Room

At the stage, a tall and handsome man was standing, with two beautiful maids at each side. In front of him, there were lots of people seated in dark chairs. These payed the normal entrance.

Above, there were lots of discrete facades, each one with some richer people, willing to pay for a private or VIP room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to todays Unlimited Auction. I hope that all of you can finish the day satisfied."

...

"The first item of the auction will be a ancient broken sword found at ruins of the Colossal Immortal Swordsmen Sect, West Region."

Then, the two maids entered the stage with a wooden chest. After opening it, a strong killing intent exploded and a half scarlet sword could be seen within.

"Probably, the previous owner of this sword tread the Path of Slaughter, so it's a great opportunity for those who chose the same Path. Although it's broken, our experts in ancient treasures evaluated it as a Quasi-Earth Level artifact."

"The initial price is 80,000 High Faith Stones, with minimum bids of 10,000 High Faith Stones!"

As so, the competition for the sword started

"Number 15; 90,000 Stones."

"Number 21; 110,000 Stones."

"Number 11; 120,000 Stones."

...

Hammed just observed the sword without interest. He was saving money for the Common Level planets.

Finally, the competition came to a end, with it being sold at the price of 140,000 High Faith Stones.

As so, the auction went on with lots of unique and rare items. Hammed only brought some Quasi-Earth Level movement and disguise techniques, spending an amount of 500,000 High Faith Stones.

...

"And now, one the most waited itens of the night, here is a sealed planet system with ten Common Level planets!!"

"For these beauties, the initial price is 1,000,000 HFS(High Faith Stones), with a minimum bid of 50,000!!"

Everyone in the auction room had greedy eyes on the planets, as the bid battle started

"Number 10; 1,100,000 HFS."

"Number 15; 1,250,000 HFS."

"Number 18; 1,400,000 HFS."

...

In a fancy VIP room, a woman was seated on a mini throne, with a butler by her side, serving wine.

She had scarlet hairs and eyes, and different from Sarah, her body was very mature and gave off a seductive and sexy aura. Her skin was snow-white, with strange looking inscriptions.

She was Aria, princess of the Shaman God Empire. In the last thousands years, she went adventuring through the Realm to gain experience and temper herself.

Therefore, she began to build up a power too. As so, she came to the Star God Capital looking for opportunities, like the Common Level planets, for her subordinates.

"Edward, I know we're low in money, but offer 2 million HFS and announce my name. Let's see who dares go against me!"

"Yes milady!"

...

"Number 1; Princess Aria, from the Shaman God Empire, bids 2,000,000 HFS!"

After the audience heard this, everyone felt a chill pass through their spine. Everybody knew that they shouldn't offend the big Empires of the Realm. Therefore, the biddings stopped.

"Does anyone offer a bigger bid?" The handsome man asked at the stage.

However, the crowd was dead silent. But in the room number 23, Hammed was observing

"What an arrogant princess! Does she think her Shaman God Empire is invincible in the Realm!? Let's play with her a bit..." Hammed thought.

"As nobody bids higher, the planets will go to miss Ari..."

"Number 23; 2,100,000 HFS." Hammed interrupted the man.

...

Room 1

"Milady, someone dared bid higher..."

"There really are some ignorant people in this Realm!! Immediately offer 2,400,000 HFS and discover this person's identity!!! I want him crippled!!!"

...

"Number 1; 2,400,000 HFS."

Hammed, hearing this, shouted

"Number 23; 2,500,000 HFS!"

...

"This bastard!! Edward, make a higher offer..."

"Okay milady."

...

"Number 1; 2,800,000 HFS."

This much of wealth was a considerable amount, even for some powerful forces through the capital. However, Hammed's asked

"Do you accept items too?"

"Yes mister 23, but they have to pass through analyze.

"Okay"

...

Room 1

"What a looser, he doesn't have money to compete with me, but dared be so arrogant!" Aria said, as she laughed at Hammed's actions.

...

After that, Hammed sent down a simplified version of his Civilization Construction Plan. Although it wouldn't boost up drastically the lifespan of a planet, like the original one, it could still double the time he lasted without collapsing.

As the analyzer expert scanned through the book, his eyes went round as he spoke to the man on the stage, through a mental message

"Accept the offer now, this book is a peerless and rare Civilization Construction Plan!! If someone makes bigger offers, just turn them down!"

As so, the handsome man said in a firm tone

"The planets will go to mister 23!"

However, Aria shouted

"I offer 3,500,000 HFS!!"

Now it wasn't a matter of buying the planet, but was a matter of defending one's face and reputation.

But the man just said

"We are really sorry miss Aria, but the planets already belong to mister 23..."

...

Room 1

Cups and plates were flying everywhere, as Aria destroyed the room

"That bastard!!! He will see... Edward, did you find out who is this mister 23!? I want to personally torture him!!"

"Milady, you know the Unlimited Auction Company policy about anonymity. It will take some time to discover who is him..."

Then, a bowl flew right by his head, however, he just stayed their, watching Aria's actions with peaceful eyes.

Although Aria was every angry, she could only keep it for herself, since not even her dad dared to offend a Realm-wide auction company.

...

Hammed didn't stay for the Spirit Level planet auction and left. Getting his planets and Martial Techniques, he headed back home, planning his next step...
