Breaking everyone's dreamland Black Panda faking his cough on his microphone and Mr. Winks continue to the third announcement.
"Now! The third one, I will call it a privilege to the players the slotting system. How does it work? Simple, for every week there will be only 100,000 slots available, and remember EVERY WEEK this is the only words a can say to you more than that I'm gonna spoiled the content of the game so, everyone let's begin the first 100,000 slots."
Mr. Winks look at Black Panda and said "it's your turn, big guy. . ." then he left the stage leaving the dreaming crowd inside the auction hall.
Black Panda just nodded knowing his time was on.
"Now!"
"Now!"
"Now!"

Everyone rubbed their eyes if they might read wrong, but it was so clear. The auction place are in different locations, and there is only one explanation for it I mean the company wanted other countries to host it and boost their economic growth. The same as what happened here in Las Vegas not only the underground gambling is flourishing that are hosting events from here and there but also how the money was spent on those gambling events. But the main attraction or the event that triggered those events is the slotting auction that is publicly available.
You can't just imagine how those slotting auctions affect the economic growth of that hosting country. If not millions are not enough to spend probably billions just to get those slots and adding the bookings on 6 stars hotels. You can't imagine how those people use their money just to have the slot and capsule by this company.
G.E.C is a company that uses its fundings to the next level instead of using it, to expand their popular games they will instead use it as capital to their next project and improve all on what they have been doing in the past to create the best existing game ever.
"Now! You know the location of the auction, I'm going to explain to you the purpose of those locations. You probably think it's the economic bombing of that host country but you can guarantee the money on that event is donated inside the game. What I mean is every coin you spend on that day will be collected until the 52nd week from the time the game is launched, which is the first year of the game and the G.E.C. company will be announcing to you all a very important announcement on that day so mark it on your calendar."
Black Panda seriously announced to everyone then he continued.
"Now!!!"
"Let's get started!!!"
"For the first slot!!!"
"The highest bidder wins!!!"
"You may now Begin!!!"
Ping!
Without a warning black panda slam the wooden hammer to start the auction.

Everyone looked at the man who shouted the first bid, they look at the man are you joking right? Then the next bidder shouted followed by another bidder. . .
$120,000!
$125,000!

$135,000!
Within just a few minutes the chaotic auction started!
$150,000!
$170,000!
$175,000!
Even the richest people could not help but bid trying to monopolize as many slots they could get. And all of them were inside in different VIP rooms in the auction hall. On the glass window of those VIP rooms, you can see the number of money they bid for every slot. Those numbers shock everyone who is individually participating in this event or just a small group like Tyro and his friends.
"Damn! Those idiots are for real?" Jennie who is looking above to the window of a certain VIP room could not help but curse that rich man a staggering number was just bid on the very first slot.
$1 million!
Gulp!
Gulp!
Everyone was silent. . .
Their eyes were tearing down in blood, even the other VIP room people look at the man who just bid that huge amount of money. However, Tyro has a hunch why that man bid that huge amount he just remembers that Mr. Winks said the slot is like a PRIVILEGE to players.
That's why Tyro also bid higher than on what that VIP room bid.
$1.2 million!
Tyro raises his hand so that Black Panda on the stage could see his bid. Jennie and Yunji look at him strangely and saying in unison,
"JM!!!"
"Are going to make your move right now?!"
"Relax guys! I know what I'm doing guys! So relax and enjoy the show." Tyro replied to them.
"Whatever! Do what you want you are not a kid anymore that needs my assistance." Jennie replied somewhat annoyed at Tyro's actions.
Then the man in the VIP room bid makes twice as much on what Tyro bid.
$2.4 million!
Turning her head, Jennie looked at Tyro and say, "don't tell me you'll bid higher than that JM?!"
$2.5 million!
Tyro bid while replying to his friend's question. "Yup, I have to get this first slot no matter what."
Then the two keeps bidding until it reaches $30 million. The whole auction hall fell silent again and just watching the two people outbidding each other.
