《The Lazy Young Master》Chapter 20: Auction Begins
Advertisement
After Tian left the Alchemy association, he roamed around a little bit and then logged off. When he took off his VR gear, he saw little white sleeping beside him. It was snoring happily in sleep.
Tian took out his phone and checked the balance in his chip. After thinking for a while, he sent 3 Million to Number One. He knew that these guys have given everything they had to him. They would also need to take care of the new members, so he thought that this could take care of the issue.
When Number One found the amount that has been transferred, he was left in shock. He never imagined that young master would trust them so much, that he would let them handle such a large amount of money.
All the Six bandit brothers came discussed and finally came to a conclusion. Young master had trusted them with the money, so they must think of something to make the best use of it. Number Three thought of an idea.
In the ancient world, people used to live in groups called clans. But the concept didn't last long in the Modern society. Later, after the change started to happen on earth, the concept of clans is popular again. Many powerful families formed their own clans and started to recruit people under their banner.
Number Three suggested to form a clan as they had many members under them now, with young master being the clan leader and with the six of them managing the clan, they could slowly grow into a local power.
Everyone instantly agreed on that. They started to think of a location to build their clan, they thought that they would register the land around the wooden cabin and use this location itself as the base of the clan. They kept on discussing on various things, like how the clan building should look like, what should be the roles of each person and other such things.

The very next day, they started the construction of the clan. They ordered the bandits they took down to clear the area surrounding the cabin. Number two went to the Huang city and registered the land around the cabin. Number two was wiser than the other bandits and kept wide range of connections with many people in the Huang city. Using their help, he was able to easy get the procedures done.
The Pan Long Company took the order of building the Clan building and started working as soon as they received the payment. All in all, it costed 2.4 Million to register the land, pay for construction and all other furniture. The Area of the clan was around one Acre (4046 Sq. Meters).
Tian didn't knew what the bandits were doing. He wanted to refine potion, but knowing that he might soon get his hands on a cauldron, he put that on hold. If he could concoct the potions in a Cauldron, then it would also increase the efficiency of the potions.
After three days, Tian logged into Second Life. Before going to the auction house, he made sure to change his attire. He didn't want to attract any attention, so he bought a blue robe from the virtual store for 5000 yuan and changed with his beginner clothes.
He teleported to the location of Heavens Fortune Auction House. Tian saw men and women of many shapes and sizes, young and old, entering the Auction House. There was a barrier
preventing people without invitations from entering the Auction House.
There was a large hall after the entrance. There were all kinds of food placed all around. Although this is virtual world, It also simulated 99.9% of realism. So there were many people who preferred eating food in Second Life.
It was especially true for women. They wanted to maintain the shape of their figures so much that they strictly maintained their diet in the real world. But in Second Life, they get to taste all the food in the world and not gain any weight. It was like heaven for them. Many women started to gouge on the food.

Tian also went ahead and tasted different kind of foods in there. He truly had to say, the food he ate in the divine world was not a match for this world's food. He instantly fell in love with Kung Pao Chicken. After a while, everyone started to leave to the auction area.
There were many assistants guiding the people towards their seatings. When Tian displayed his invitation to the young lady assistant, there was a look of shock in her eyes. She immediately bowed to him and brought him to a large room.
He was able to get a bird's eye view of the auction from there. He saw that this room was at the highest location, there were four layers of seatings. One was an open area around the auction area, which looked like a opera theatre. Above that there were rooms of varying sizes divided into three categories.
Looks like the invite that Huang Zi has provided, was of the highest tier. People began to fill the auction area and the Auction was about to start.
The center of Action area suddenly had a bright light pillar, after it dissipated, a stunningly beautiful women was standing over there. Her beauty was beyond description, seducing the hearts of all those that saw her.
She stepped forward, "Greetings everyone and Welcome to the Heavens Fortune Auction House!!!!, My Name is Liu Liu and I'm your hostess today!"
"This time, we have a lot of unique items for the Auction, I know you can't wait any longer, so let's get started!!!", Liu Liu cheered the crowd with full of energy.
"The first item for today's auction is.....The Azure bronze sword forged by the great blacksmith Rhong Lu. This is a Mid-grade Sword, the starting price is 7 million", Liu Liu displayed the sword that hovered in front of everyone.
"10 Million!"
"11 Million!"
"14 Million!"
15 Million....18 Million.....20 Million...The price kept on raising. Finally it was sold for 24 Million Yuan. Tian was completely shocked to find that a single mid-grade sword could be sold for such high price.
"Let' move to the next item. This is a miracle potion, produced by an Alchemist from the Tri Star Alchemy Association. This is the Purple Strike potion, using this, any normal person can instantly break through directly into the Body refinement realm. There are a total of 52 potions. The starting price is 1 million yuan"
1.5 Million...2 Million.....3 Million...The price didn't increase much. It was sold for 3.7 million to a Merchant Family. This potion was something that only those newly rich want. The veterans didn't even gave it a glance. Tian was not interested in that too, as he now had the money to make break through potions.
"The next item to be auctioned is not actually a real item, but a virtual item", as soon as Liu Liu said that, a commotion broke out in the auction house. Who would want to buy a virtual item that they couldn't even use in the outside world. They were not really interested in these things.
"I know that you are all disappointed that its a virtual item, but trust me if you hear the name of the item, you'll be definitely interested in this", Liu Liu said, as she displayed a item in front of the crowd.
Not many understood what the item actually was, but those from powerful family backgrounds definitely understood what it was.
A middle aged man couldn't hold his excitement and yelled out loudly,
"The Origin Key!!!"

Divine Mortality
Divine Mortality is about the experiences of Players stepping into a new massively online world. A video game which was crafted with near-future technical advances, a game that provides seamless virtual reality headset and control support, a game which was hidden until it's surprise hit release shocking the world of boring and mundane MMORPGs played today, and a game that has been described as a miracle creation. Something which is difficult to create in Today's REAL WORLD, yet, it's not impossible with the right conditions and intentions. I try to implement concepts of my dream MMORPG which I believe will work and fulfill a Player's fun, immersion, creativity, and social world. The story in season 1 follows the first person perspective of an enthusiast of the game, Amulet Pond. Season 2 follows a new individual called Sayooshi, written in a more third person perspective (attempted light novel). (Recommended!) Season 1 covers the rough chapters 1-52, Season 2 (chapters 53+) should be better in quality. You can start reading from 53.
