  "First, we shall bring all of the remaining items on the stage so you may see which one you wish to buy first." The auctioneer said as several ladies walked up onto the stage with the items in hand.

  The purple grade bow, shield and the mysterious item set.

  When Shiro saw the item set, she was shocked.

  ’No wonder they placed that as the final item.’ She thought with a small smile.

  The item set in question was a purple+ grade item known as Chaotic Sword Formation. They were different from normal formations as this one was portable. One would gain control over four flying swords that would work in tandem to kill the user’s enemies.

  The reason as to why it was known as Chaotic Sword Formation was due to the fact that the swords attack at an outrageous speed. The user only needed to control one sword while the other three would be autonomous and attack in chaotic patterns that would compliment how the user-controlled the first sword.

  One of the best part about this item set was the fact that the user could set them as automatic defences while they used another weapon such as the axe. They could essentially ignore thoughts about defence since the swords themselves would do it for them.

  However, that wasn’t the main selling point of these weapons. The greatest part of these weapons was that they could count as any set material. Meaning that they could enhance the set effects one has without being a part of that set. Example being her Blood Crystal Armour set.

  Currently, at 6/6 pieces, the blood crystal armour set gave her a bonus of +200 In INT, AGI, VIT. +50 Mana Leech and +50 Life Steal.

  The sword formations would then automatically increase the effect to the next tier, 9 pieces. Even though her armour didn’t have 9 pieces, the swords themselves will upgrade the set.

  It was a wonder how this was even allowed to appear at such a low level city.

  "Before anyone can bid, I’ll display the equipment status board for all of you to see." The auctioneer called out as three images appeared in the air through a holographic projection.

  Looking at the description for the purple bow, Chromatic Piercer, Shiro was surprised but it’s stats and couldn’t help but nod in appreciation. If it wasn’t for the fact that she had her firearms, she would be tempted to obtain this bow.

  After reading the description for the bow, she glanced at the shield.

  ’Hmm…… a shield where the strengths of the skills are randomised.’ Shiro thought with mild interest. However, as interested as she was, she could probably find a more consistent shield for Madison when they reach C class.

  That only left the item set. Out of the three, this was what had her attention the most.

  Seeing the description on the blades, Shiro was surprised at the fact that the blades were growth type blades.

  Even if they didn’t include the fact that they grew alongside the user, Shiro knew that they would cause quite a stir.

  However, it seemed like not everyone shared the same thoughts since they were more attracted by the bow and shield rather than the swords.

  This could also be attributed to the fact that the sword looked rather average when compared to the weapons. The Chromatic Piercer was a bow that looked like it was made from a seven coloured crystal while the Aegis of Blessed Fortune looked like a divine relic. Meanwhile, the Nirvana Soul Blades were plain long swords that weren’t decorated at all.

  It didn’t seem like a purple+ item and to make matters worse, they couldn’t see the stats either.

  This heavily downplayed the actual value of the blades making Shiro wonder if she could bid for it without actually stealing it.

  "We’ll first start with the Chromatic Piercer! Bidding starts at 150 million! With increments of no less than 10 million!"

  "200 million!"

  The first bid had instantly increased the price by 50 million. This caused Shiro to glance over at the caller and realised who they were.

  ’If I remember from what I had read, he is someone belonging to the Durmark family. A family who are only inferior to the top 5 and is famed for their archers.’ Shiro thought before turning her attention away.

  Whoever won the bow was none of her concern since her eyes were on the real treasure. Unfortunately, or rather fortunately, none of the big families seems to know the true value of the blades. This caused a few questions to be raised in her head as she searched the web for Sword Formation items.

  However, to her surprise, not many knew of the power behind the sword formations. They only knew that they were high grade items.

  ’Hmm…… could it be that not a lot of people passed the test for these swords?’ Shiro thought to herself as anyone who passed the test were able to experience an astonishing increase to their battle potential.

  ’Well it’s good news for me.’


  Letting the people bid for the two purple grade items, Shiro waited patiently for the bids to start for the sword formation.

  Since her loot from the mutated dungeon earned her more than 150 million USD, she’ll be able to use that to purchase the Nirvana Soul Blades.

  In the end, the Chromatic Piercer was won by the Durmark family for 350 million USD while the Aegis of Blessed Fortune was won by the Sermak Family for 500 million.

  "For our last item, we have the mysterious Nirvana Soul Blades. This set of swords were excavated from the deep sea ruins that lay buried under the ocean. We were fortunate enough to find this purple plus grade item during our last excursion to the ruins. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to pass the test to earn the ownership of this item." The auctioneer said as he brought everyone’s attention to the blades.

  "However, it should be noted that anything graded purple plus will most definitely be more powerful than the Chromatic Piercer and the Aegis of Blessed Fortune. Therefore, we shall start this bid with 100 million USD with increments of no less than 1 million USD!"

  "100 million!"

  "105 million!"

  "106 million!"

  Sadly, the nirvana blades didn’t garner as much hype as the other two weapons did. The bids were increasing very slowly and Shiro could even see a slight amount of disappointment on the branch masters face when he saw this.

  *BING!

  120 million.

  Placing her bid of 120 million, Shiro sighed at the fact that she has basically blown over her entire earnings for today.

  The intervals between bids stated to increase as the auctioneer tried to get as much value out of the blades as he could.

  Eventually, Shiro won the blades with 150 million USD.

  Standing up from her balcony, Shiro placed Yin back onto her shoulder and started to make her way towards the counter where she would receive her earnings for tonight along with paying for the items that she won.

  On her way there, she could see both Alura and Lox glaring daggers at each other. However, they stopped when they saw Shiro.

  "Young miss, can you spare a moment for a short chat?" Lox asked as he smiled.

  Shiro was taken aback at this and pulled out her phone.

  "Yes indeed miss Shiro." He smiled. But before he could continue his talk, Alura butted in.

  "Don’t fall for that scheming smile of his. Pui, you don’t know how many young girls he had ruined because of his playboy nature." Alura spat out whilst walking over to Shiro and handed her a card.

  "The Casadan family would like to invite you for a small chat about a partnership between us. If you’re interested, feel free to contact us through the information on the card." She smiled.

  Taking the card, Shiro nodded slightly whilst wondering what she could have done to garner their attention. Especially when one of the biggest families in the city wanted to talk about a partnership with her.

  Lox wasn’t going to be left behind and also handed her a card.

  "Don’t make the wrong decision young miss. Because after tonight, the Casadan family is bound to suffer a great set back." He said whilst giving Alura a cold glare.

  The reason as to why they both wanted to form a partnership with the white haired girl in front of them was due to the fact that they had discovered that she essentially carried her team to safety when they entered a level 50 mutated dungeon.

  The party members that made up the dungeon consisted of an average level of 34 and when she entered, she was only 37. With those members, there were hardly any chance for them to survive. In addition to this, help wasn’t going to come anytime soon due to two reasons. Number one, they were foreigners of another city and the high level adventurer’s were willing to go out of their way to save them. And two, the loot drops would decrease in quality once adventurers break open the dungeon. This meant that not only were they going to get a debuff for breaking open the dungeon, but there wasn’t even any loot for them. With these two facts, the high level adventurer’s of Cairosa collectively decided to wait for the party to die in the dungeon.

  And yet, they had managed to miraculously survive a dungeon more than ten levels above them with a casualty of only two of their members.

  Not only that, but she had already levelled up six times within the short amount of time in the dungeon meaning only one thing. She had killed most of the monster’s solo.

  With that kind of capability against level 50 monsters, she was definitely a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.

  Shiro smiled politely since it would spell more trouble if she made her stand clear right now.

  Not only that, but there wasn’t any point to linking up with either families since she was doing pretty well right now.

  The duo nodded before leaving.

  Unfortunately, it was a little awkward since Shiro was going the same way. That feeling of heading the same way as someone, even though you’ve just bid farewell to each other, made for a rather weird atmosphere between the three of them.

  But once they arrived at the collection counter, the weird atmosphere was dispelled since they were led into separate rooms. Shiro sighed in relief since she really didn’t know how to handle awkward moments like that. If the silence had continued any longer, she was tempted to just say f*ck it and go on ahead of them despite it being a little rude.

  Shiro waited for a short moment until a man entered the room. Since one of her items were the main attractions, she was allowed a separate room to collect these items.

  "Miss Shiro, here the items that you have won. A skill stone and the Nirvana Soul Blades along with the money you have earned during this auction. As for how much you need to pay us, that totals up to 171 million USD. Naturally, you can pay 160 million with your earnings and the remaining 11 million with the system balance." The man smiled and handed her the payment crystal.

  Shiro nodded and paid 11 million.

  Receiving both her items, Shiro instantly stored them away in her inventory and left the room. She was going to find a good vantage point for the mini war that’s about to break out and hopefully get herself a few items along the way.
