270 – Equipment Enhancement (2)
Auction houses are largely divided into two types of auctions.
‘Command Auction’ and ‘Blind Auction’.
The former was literally an auction of official items that had already been appraised, while the latter was an auction of unappraised items.
An unappraised item auction where I almost swept away all the items at the Daegu auction house the other day.
That exists as a separate auction in Yongsan.
While the auction houses are divided by auction method…
Auction houses are sometimes divided by the type of item being sold.
‘Looks like only armor is being sold here.’
Among them, , As its name suggests, was an auction site that only sold armor-type equipment.
Kang Ju-yeon seemed to have already been here once before, so she naturally presented her pass to the staff and went inside.
“I don’t have a pass, can I go in?”
I suddenly became curious and asked her, and she showed me her pass.
A high-quality pass with a subtle transparent color.
There was also a small diamond picture embedded in it.
“The VVIP pass allows one person to ride with you.”
“… ….”
After all, it is convenient to have a girlfriend who is rich and powerful.
Thanks to Juyeon, I was able to enter the auction house with a free pass.
Actually, I could make a VVIP pass if I wanted to, but it would have been difficult to use it today.
Issuing a pass that requires complicated procedures takes time.
-Nice to meet all holders at the Yongsan main branch of the Korean Holder Auction House. Prior to the start of the auction, ‘Supreme Command Auction: Premium Armor’ is an auction where armor-type protective equipment is listed as the main item. If you are looking for other items, please find another auction.
After sitting in the premium seating area covered by a glass window.
Soon after, the host appeared in the venue and grabbed the microphone.
-This auction will be conducted through open competitive bidding. Holders can participate in the auction through the buzzer and microphone at their seats, and must bid a higher price than the current price for the item they wish to purchase. If the final price remains unchanged until I, the host, bid three times, the item will be sold at that final price.
The auction method was the same as in Daegu.
It would be natural since the place in charge was the same in the first place and the difference was between the head office and the branch.
“Jaehyun.”
“Huh?”
“How much do you plan to spend?”
I was lost in thought for a moment when Kang Joo-yeon suddenly asked me.
Actually, I have saved a lot of money so far.
There are as many as five dungeons with ownership stake, various achievements from the dungeons conquered so far, various by-products and magic stones from monster hunting, financial rewards received from the Academy, etc….
There were many ways to become economically prosperous.
Capital was being accumulated on its own without much attention.
‘There is a different reason for raising funds….’
Of course, it’s not that I didn’t spend money because I lacked economic sense.
I also had a proposal I accepted and a plan in mind, and I was just temporarily saving money to prepare for it.
Because a lot of funds are needed to realize this plan.
‘I guess I could spend some money today.’
However, while working on a class assignment, I decided to strengthen my equipment, and spending a certain amount of money did not cause any problems.
There was no need to save.
“There are no limits.”
“No… uh?”
“Yes. If I think I need it, I’ll buy it. “Instead, I haven’t done an auction in a long time, so I don’t know the market price well, so Juyeon should take good care of me by my side.”
At the Daegu auction, there was information from the original work, and we had prepared a lot, so there were no major problems… Yongsan Auction House is no different from beginners.
I needed help from Juyeon, who has a lot of experience in this field.
She was a little surprised, but she also smiled at my words.
Then, I gently held his hand and turned my attention to the auction that was just starting.
-Then this is the first auction item. The minimum order price is 100 million won. The price will start from 100 million won.
Appears on the digital screen along with the host’s comment.
The name is [Blake’s Torn Fury].
It was an epic item in the form of leather armor.
I was surprised as soon as I saw the item information and name on the screen.
“Huh? This….”
“Yes. “The reward for conquering Wolfenser is armor made from lycan leather.”
Besides, Kang Joo-yeon quietly added an explanation.
Just as I received [Ring of Lupus] And ‘Contractor Jayten’ as rewards, each member of the engineering team also received their own different rewards.
Among them, this is the reward received by an engineer named Jeon Dong-seok, who was in charge of the tanking warrior class.
The skin of a lycan from the Kalak tribe, which was the enemy camp.
It even became a hot topic because it was a by-product of ‘Blake’, the final boss.
He probably showed the best tanking skills among the raid members, and he seemed to have received such a reward because the reward for conquering Itself varies depending on the operator’s performance.
“… “I heard it was a work entrusted to Lee Do-kwon Holder.”
“Huh. Really?”
“Yes. “I guess that’s why it was put up for auction as joint ownership.”
That’s even more surprising.
Lee Do-kwon is a special type holder who is said to be the best blacksmith in Korea.
He is also the father of Circle One Lee Hyun-ho.
I heard that it would cost an astronomical amount to entrust the production request directly to Lee Do-kwon, but seeing that it was jointly owned, it seemed like it was produced for free under the condition of sharing the auction money.
A work of art created by combining the best blacksmiths and the best materials.
The performance and effect were so great.
“Shall I buy it?”
So I was worried.
Although it is the first item…
Anyway, I think it’s an item that suits me well.
As if other participants were also interested, the price of the item was already skyrocketing.
“… “I don’t recommend it.”
“Huh?”
But surprisingly, the answer from Juyeon was negative.
Even though I decided to listen to the advice, I didn’t expect it to be rejected from the beginning, so I asked in confusion.
“Is there any other reason?”
“… “This is the first item released, so something better may come out later.”
Generally, all items in an auction house are made public unless it is a ‘blind auction,’ but Yongsan Auction House is unique in that it only reveals half of the items and leaves the other half private.
This is to increase the enthusiasm for the auction when unexpected items appear.
The first product released this time, [Blake’s Torn Fury], Was also an unreleased item.
“… And production equipment is expensive.”
“Ah.”
An additional understandable reason emerged.
The equipment made by blacksmith holders is generally more expensive than the equipment provided as system rewards.
Rarity in that there is only one.
And the performance varies depending on the blacksmith’s skill.
In addition, prices sometimes rise for various reasons, such as excessive demand.
Especially when, like today, the first item appears, and special equipment that has not been revealed before appears…
The price may double or triple.
You may have to pay a much higher price than the price appropriate for the level of equipment.
No matter how many bullets I have, there was no need for such excessive consumption.
“Finally… “I don’t think this is the equipment you need.”
“… Uh?”
Kang Joo-yeon speaks while looking at me.
I didn’t get a proper explanation for the last reason, but in any case, I didn’t think there was any need to force myself to buy the first item.
So, at first, I followed the asking price appropriately, but later gave up on placing orders.
[Blake’s Torn Fury] Was snatched up at a high price by a holder who appeared to be a tall warrior.
-This is the second item. ……
-This is the fifth item! ……
The auction proceeds smoothly, moving on to the next item.
After that, most of the items I wanted were not available, so I passed on most of them without ordering them.
Beyond the sixth time…
The moment when the first item arrived.
I was able to realize the meaning of Kang Joo-yeon’s meaningful eyes earlier.
-This is the seventh item. Before Wolfenser, there was a deep green meadow! This item was released a few months ago after Lim Hyun Holder’s raid team successfully conquered an undiscovered dungeon. Trillion’s Brilliant Oath. The minimum order price is also 100 million won.
A new item appeared with a loud explanation from the host.
From Noble mtl dot com
[Trillion’s Brilliant Oath].
One of the final rewards of , Which A-class holder Lim Hyun previously attacked by creating a temporary raid team.
At the time, the appearance of a legendary item became a hot topic, but it seems that it has only now been put up on the auction house.
This was also an undisclosed item that was not revealed before the auction.

“Ah… !”
And when you read the item information to the end.
I learned one important thing.
‘Divine type equipment….’
Divine equipment that cannot be made by blacksmith holders and exists only as an item in the system.
There are not many customers and the conditions are sometimes strict…
It is not a popular item compared to other items.
It was an essential item for me now.
‘… Seongyeon Hwang.’
My enemy whom I have already lost twice.
A goal that I definitely want to defeat.
This is because the target’s natural enemy was divine-type equipment.
Besides….
‘No one will want to buy it.’
I turn my gaze for a moment and look inside the auction house.
The heat in the hall, which was hot just a moment ago…
Surprisingly, it was getting colder.
It is already a sacred type equipment that is not in demand, but it even has a crazy usage condition that says, ‘It can only be used by holders of runes that increase divinity sensitivity or runes capable of expressing divine power.’
No matter how legendary the item was, not many participants would be willing to buy such a difficult item at such a high price.
‘I saw it… !’
I put my hand on the buzzer, trying hard to hide my excitement.
And spoke into the microphone.
-100 Million.
It was a very pleasant starting price.
