Carl looked at the price tag and thought, 'Who would but such an overpriced ite-'
But a while later he was shocked. Not because of just soone buying the item. No, there were people but it was way too many.
"Table 55 for 28 Million Dollars."
"Table 94 for 29 Million Dollars."
"Table 51 for 30 Million Dollars."
"Table 57 for 31 Million Dollars."
"Table 23 for 32 Million Dollars."
"Table 7…"
"…"
Just like that the bids only went up and up until it hit a staggering number of 149 Million Dollars. It was also the first person who bid that won. Apparently it looked like that person wanted the item very very much to stick to the very end.
"Going once… going twice and 'Bang' Sold to the gentleman's in table 55 for 149 Million Dollars."
He banged the cane he had in his hand at the stage as the bunny girls took the item and left it back in their inventory. The item would later at the end of the event would be given to the seller after he or she had paid the amount.
As Carl saw the bottle of pills being lifted away by the proti- Bunny Girls, he didn't know what the heck just happened. Why did a bottle that was only worth 28 Million Dollars sold for a high amount that is almost six tis its original price?
Back in the room, William too was confused so he asked, Delmar.
"Hey, Delmar. I don't know if it's strange to you or not but I don't get why did that bottle of pill go for such a huge amount?"
"Didn't you hear the effects it would have on soone's cultivation?"
"Yes, I did. But the mana pools also have the sa effect so why so much attraction?"
Delmar had a thoughtful expression on his face as he said, "How do I explain this… Ha… It's Ti."
"Hmm?"
"How long does it for a person in level ONE to full master his level? Two years or maybe longer but for the ones with high potential it doesn't take that much ti… close to a year and sotis even less."
"The rich people that are invited in that auction and others that didn't get invited all want the sa thing… Respect."
"How does getting that bottle of pills give them more respect?"
"It's not that bottle that will give them reputation. It's what it will bring.
Normally if soone of diocre potential uses both the mana pool and even the pills at the sa ti the effects won't be that different and the person will still take two years or slightly lesser ti to master their level."
"But what if the person had huge potential? What if by combining the mana pool and the pools would give them huge advantage? Wouldn't that increase their speed? And if they had the said potential and speed then that person would be able to level up much faster than other of his peers."
"It might take that person a year or even significantly less ti to master that level. It's not the power that person gets that's special it's the timing. If that person is able to learn the first level even slightly faster than his peers than…"
William continued as he understood what Delmar was getting at.
"Then that person would be faster in the next level and the next too, right?"
Delmar clicked his fingers as he said, "Yep! You got it. It's not the power but the timing. If the timing is faster than you get more power than your peers and that is both power and respect."
William nodded as he added more words, "Even if it takes a long ti for the next and the next level to master, the person would still have an edge over others of the sa age."
"Yes and if that person has strength and respect then he will also get connection too. So that's why both timing and potential is regarded highly. Potential much more than timing."
"Potential is the core point related to mana for a living being. Without that, what other is there to mark a person for?"
Potential can clearly write soone's future very clearly and how far that person could go. Without potential… what value is there for anyone?" William said in somber tone as he rembered so things.
Delmar nodded beside him as well as he thought about his past. After a while he looked confused and asked, "Boss isn't this sothing that you should have known already? No disrespect, just asking."
"Well I was one of those 'Unloved' children, if you may. So I wasn't that much looked after nor cared to a great deal that they would give valuable items like that to help ."
"Then how are you…" Delmar trailed off but he noticed his boss's distant expression and realized that it was not sothing he could learn now nor in the near future.
William ignored Delmar's words as he looked at the tv screen.
"Now our second item that the Gang Jack Frontier group is also the ones to procure is this."
Nigel unveiled the item that the bunny girls were holding on to for a while.
What he unveiled confused most people. Not because of how rare it was but how peculiar the item looked and also because they didn't know what it was.
It was a pink bunny that one dark brown eye and another one a blue button. It looked like it was a toy for so children.
"Our second item is an item that would make most of you curious about its peculiar nature but fear not as I shall make you know about it."
"It is called the Bunny Striker. This strange but very rare item is a kind of battery if you may. It can store electricity up to 1500 Million Volts.
Yes, Ladies and gentleman this strange but effective item can store electricity up to not just 1 or 2 but 5 Lighting Strikes."
"I suppose, That is enough for at least so of you to light your fireplace for a year or two."
His light joke brought out laughter's all over the auction hall.
"But that is not the only thing that it can do. It can also store that power and also unleash it into a devastating attack that would leave so one of even highly leveled mana user to a critical state."
William looked at the pink bunny from the tv screen and had a glint over his eyes.
"Except for its strange look this item is of high value and would be helpful for so of the people in this room.
"The item will start at the price of 32 Million Dollars and like before will increase its price by one million in each bid."
"Now then I am starting the bid, so whoever buy this rare item please raise your table number."
At the end of his sentence so people raised their numbers.
"I want that." William spoke from the hotel.
All three of the people were shocked at this new revelation as Adam asked, "You… want that?"
"Yes, I need it for sothing very special. Carl buy that item at all costs."
Carl was still shocked but after a mont raised his table number as well.
"Hmm… Yes Table 69 for 56 Million Dollars, anyone else?"
