Chapter 486: "Crazy Bidding"
The moment Marietta displayed the potions, the guests gasped and held their breaths.
"So that's the miracle potion that can possibly get us a new ability!"
"The colour is so pretty. It looks legit."
"Hey, you're an alchemist, right? Have you ever seen that potion before?"
"I haven't. My seniors said the potion isn't supposed to exist on the human continent. It's rumoured to be an elf's potion."
"Elf's potion? Damn! We have to get it then!"
"Well, sure, but don't forget the big shots are also aiming for those items…"
While the guests were excitedly talking about the first type of potion to be sold, Marietta gripped the microphone once before speaking gently.
"The starting price of the first pseudo-awakening potion will be anything that has an equal value with an adult fist-sized 7-coloured energy crystal!"
Once Marietta announced the base price, the guests sucked in the cold air once more.
Ishhhh, that's more than $1 million! As expected of a miracle potion. The starting price itself is already above average!
However, the guests were all rich and influential people. A million dollars in exchange for a potion like that was already cheap.
The final price would definitely sky-rocketed!
Indeed, a few seconds after, the guests started to raise their hands to bid.
"Oh, the gentleman over there bid 1.5 million dollars in cash!"
"Ah, two pieces of 7-coloured energy crystals...adult fist size!"
"Another one– a Holy beast's perfect fur! Worth 3.5 million dollars!"
"A high-rank elite monster core with metal elements? Worth 6 million dollars!"
Since the guests could use any items that have the same value when converted to dollars, many guests were offering rare and exotic items to bid for the potions.
Thus, the appraiser that Ainsley hired got to work now. He estimated the price of the item offered and also appraised whether it's real or not.
The guests only need to raise the item, and the appraiser's eagle-eye skill would immediately evaluate them.
So far, the appraiser had helped Ainsley to identify several items that the guests brought. While sitting near backstage, the appraiser kept telling Marietta the item's worth.
"That one is 6 million dollars. It's authentic, yes."
At the same time, he also looked at Ainsley, who's sitting next to him, to confirm whether the baby wanted the item or not.
Even if the item had a higher value than the others, if Ainsley didn't want it, she could casually reject the item to be used as a bidding item.
Thus, the guests came prepared. They brought all things that Ainsley might take interest in.
"Hmm, dat monstel cole is gwood...6 millions is owkay fol one bottwle." Ainsley secretly contacted Marietta through the earpiece that the woman was wearing.
"Settle for the monstel cole. Me want it."
With Ainsley deciding the final transaction, Marietta immediately announced the result.
"Congratulations to Mr X with a high-rank metal element monster core worth 6 million dollars. The first potion is yours!"
When the deal was closed, other guests that offered a more valuable item but weren't what Ainsley needed got dejected.
"So, it's true that the family head is raising a metal-element raptor monster! We should have brought many metal-element items…"
"Hahaha, I bring wind-element items suitable for the family head's contracted sacred beast. I'll use them for the next potion."
With the first bidding as the example, many people who had analysed what Ainsley wanted immediately made a move.
For the second bottle, someone brought it in exchange for wind-element holy grass seed, something that Ainsley wanted to plant in her dimensional bracelet.
The seed was worth 7 million dollars, even more expensive than before, but the guest was satisfied with the exchange.
For the last bottle, since it was the last of the kind, everyone went mad and actually bid so high that the item value reached 10 million dollars!
In the end, the item Ainsley chose was a peach blossom Ravens tea, a good tea that could prolong one's lifespan by half a year.
It was worth 10 million dollars and it could only prolong one's life for 6 months. Imagine how expensive the other lifespan-prolonging items would be.
No wonder no one wanted to auction such items or sell them!
Still, Ainsley was in a good mood after securing the tea.
The baby whistled to herself as Jevon took away the three potions sold to the guests. The guests would claim the items after the auction finished, anyway.
'Hehehe, I got items for Ava, Cellino, and Grandpa Yofan. This is good! We can make sure Grandpa Yofan has another 5 years and 6 months to live.'
Good, good, I'll get tons of money and items tonight!
While Ainsley was giggling over the items she got from the first batch, Marietta already went to the next item.
"Introducing the second item on the list….core-healing potion!"
As usual, Ethania showed the video demonstration while Marietta explained the potion's effect and origin.
"This potion is also made by an elf. So, the starting price will be any item worth 2 million dollars!"
After the guests knew that the potions were indeed made by an elf, they didn't hesitate to bid like mad for the potions.
"I offer a storage ring that can house a dead spirit! The spirit will feel at home!"
"I offer a one-time teleportation bead. Can bring you anywhere in the world!"
"A drop of pure-blood elf's blood! Can prolong one's life by a year! Worth $15 millions!"
"Baby phoenix feather. It can revive a dead flying-type beast once!"
Many of the guests were desperate to buy core-healing potion that the offer they made...were truly tempting!
Even Ainsley was in a dilemma.
Which one should I choose? They're all good, ah!
