621 Chapter 621 Sasha, a natural rich lady.
As one of the auction house’s trump cards, Heavenly Maiden, Qiqi was an extrely powerful and experienced expert. However, that didn’t stop her from her slight nervousness during this particular event.
Unlike the auctions of other years, this event served as a prelude to what would happen in the sect in the coming days. Given the tensions and benefits involved, the sect had made sure to put up many of its best treasures at this auction to smooth the atmosphere and relations between the sect and other forces.
However, the level of the treasures wasn’t the only thing that increased; the level of the guests also increased, making Qiqi nervous. From the list she had received earlier, Qiqi knew that at least four sect master-level powerhouses were inside the auction house right now.
Should any kind of conflict arise, Qiqi had no way to resolve things. At best, she could buy ti and wait for reinforcents since the dragon maidens could not win by themselves against powers like i Fei Long, who was listed on the guest list.
Doing her best to keep unnecessary thoughts away, Qiqi, the host, gave one last instruction before starting the auction. “For those of you who ca on a tight schedule, so of the auction house staff will be stopping by your seats and/or private rooms shortly in case you want to make deposits into our institution’s coffers for the convenience of your bids. Those who do will receive a card linked to our auction house with which they can bid. Rember, the card will not allow you to place bids in excess of the amount deposited, so keep your accounts right.”
This information was especially helpful to those who had never attended this auction house event, so Claire, Sasha, Revna, and Cecilia were grateful that they had the opportunity to not be left out of the auction.
On the other hand, Xiauyue and Fei Long seed quite embarrassed for not even knowing that; It seed that they had beco too passionate in the past few days, forgetting to even check the most concrete details about the auction.
Eventually, as the host said, soone from the auction staff went into the private room to do the last-minute transactions, which led to a very awkward mont where all the girls in the room started pulling out huge amounts of riches to be accounted for
Seeing the enormous amount of work, the girl from the auction house went to call for help to expedite the posting. In the case of Xiauyue and Fei Long, although they had forgotten to verify the details of the auction, they at least had their funds ready so that paynts could be made easily. Hence, all their wealth ca in the equivalent of bank cards, just that they were made of a special type of spiritual crystal.
.....
The girl from the auction house took out a device made of glass and passed it over to the cards. Although her face expressed her disbelief, probably because of the size of the figure, she still wrote everything down and did her job. Correctly.
The real problem ca from the resource count that ca from Claire, Cecilia, Sasha, and Revna. Even without taking into account the bloodstains on the spiritual stones, the wealth itself ca in a very cumberso form of paynt that took ti to count.
However, what really set the count back was Sasha’s request to Revna. “Revna, can you get my private funds out of your shadow storage?”
Under the shocked gaze of everyone present, a geyser of spirit stones of more than one quality gushed out from Revna’s shadow. The amount equated in one minute to all the riches obtained by the four girls from their bandit plunder, which was precisely the reason for his surprise.
In fact, Sasha’s wealth was not strange at all. Being an alchemist and an extrely good one at that, Sasha could generate wealth at a terrifying rate. To make matters worse, at least for others, Sasha had no need to think about the long- and dium-term benefits, so she could saturate the market without a care in the world.
As expected, that was precisely what Sasha did. Without feeling the slightest trace of guilt or doubt, Sasha flooded the market of the traveling cloud city without thinking about the consequences.
Given her talent, production quality, and success rate, Sasha was a money-printing machine that she walked, and she knew how to look good, the dream of many.
The only reason the other girls never found out about this was that Sasha had never been very interested in money, and she had always treated it as a convenient thing with which she could buy more materials for her experints.
Being sothing of a mad scientist, Sasha was very clear about how important it was to keep her research and experint funds separate from her personal money, hence why she kept that money private.
Understanding Sasha’s concerns and being the only one with abilities that allowed her to carry such riches, Revna was the one who had to carry both the money and Sasha’s secret, not that Revna minded.
Whatever the case, Sasha’s move had forced the auction house girls to call for reinforcents a second ti. The funny part was that Sasha seed quite indifferent to the reaction others had towards her wealth; it was almost as if she didn’t care at all about all that money, and that was precisely the case.
In fact, Desmond was aware of the peculiar way in which Sasha treated her own wealth, but he never ntioned anything about it because the alchemist was always very reasonable with her expenses, despite always giving off the air of a mad scientist.
A part of Desmond always envied the imnse amount of wealth that Sasha could accumulate in an instant. She was unlike him, who always lived in poverty. However, Desmond could not be blad for being poor. The truth behind his everlasting scarcity of resources was quite simple: he spread his resources among too many people, and the association limited his ways of earning too much.
Under the guise of protecting small planets from brazen looting and protecting his prestigious balance, the association placed too-tight and difficult-to-remove shackles on Desmond’s stockpile of resources and equipnt that he could smuggle from other worlds.
However, none of that mattered. The only thing that beca clear at that mont was that Sasha was apparently a secretly rich girl, and she planned without any doubt to bid for the best materials for alchemy. However, given this year’s invitees to the auction, there was a very real possibility that even Sasha’s wealth wouldn’t allow her to get everything she wanted.
Although the process was lengthy, eventually, the count ended, and the action really began. As expected, the first part of the auction was on alchemy and dicinal materials, and it didn’t take long for Sasha to start bidding with an excited expression.
The vermilion-haired alchemist didn’t care much about the number of funds spent. She was sweeping through all the materials that she cared about. From roots, seeds, and herbs to fruits and mushrooms, Sasha bought everything that caught her eye, especially the ingredients of so very rare alchemy recipes.
Watching Sasha bid ti and ti again, always wearing what she wanted with an easy-going smile that didn’t care how worn it was, everyone present felt that she was what a true natural rich girl should look like.
Of course, there were many cases where Sasha couldn’t win the things she wanted, but those were rare and distant. Also, it didn’t take long for Claire and the rest to realize just how seriously Sasha was taking the auction.
Although initially unnoticed, Sasha had been obtaining so rare ingredients, forcing her competitors to pay too much for other ingredients that she was not interested in. By inflating the prices with her own bids, Sasha had slowly emptied the wallets of the alchemists present.
No one would have expected the always calm and good-natured Sasha to keep such a deceptive and intelligent appearance. Claire couldn’t help feeling that the trick used by Sasha was exactly sothing Desmond would do, but she didn’t comnt; The last thing Claire wanted was to admit that Desmond was a bad influence.
In the end, by the ti the dicinal materials auction ended, only Sasha could be considered the true winner of the event. Still, the most torturous part was that many people didn’t even notice since she let them have so of the things they were for. they bid
One could only marvel at what a bad influence Desmond really was since, in all honesty, the honest and sowhat naive Sasha Desmond t in that forest was not soone like that; it was clear that it was Desmond who had changed her.
Of course, sotis, a bad influence was exactly what one needed. At least that was the case with Sasha and the rest of the girls, who had learned so useful things to survive from living with Desmond.
