Chapter 10: Card Auction

Date 18 Mar 2321

Time 20:45

Location Sky Blossom City, Adventure Guild Association, Guild Association Mall

Creating three F rank cards took me nearly three and half hours mainly due to applying dye to the rabbit leather and it was already late evening outside.

Checking out of the Card Lab I found an empty couch and sat comfortably.

[Please wait as your allotted sales representative will be reaching you soon.]

[Expected wait time: 120 seconds]

Currently, I was drained both mentally and physically, I never thought that creating three F rank cards would take such a huge toll on me. It felt like I had not slept for days.

If not for my curiosity about how much the cards could fetch me, I would have been taking a nap in the card lab right now.

And right now I felt more confident and satisfied than afternoon because right now I had equipped the full red ultra fly boots and they looked fly.

Who says buying stuff won’t make you happy? they must be buying the wrong stuff.

Even after invading the buffet for lunch, I felt hungry and since it was time for dinner I ordered one large Juicy steak and one large coke, through the grimoire.

[ Order confirmed. Expected wait time 4 minutes]

The bob cut brunette in office attire walked towards me. ‘She is still here! When does she get off work? The sales job is tuff.’ I thought as I nodded to her. With a polite nod and smile, she said,

“Sir how may I be of your service?”

“I want to sell these item cards,” I said, throwing two Gale rabbit leather boots cards on the coffee table.

The Saleslady picked up the two cards for appraisal, finally, I saw her replace her professional smile with a dumbfounded expression. Stuttering-ly she said,

“Sir, did you create these cards earlier?”

I frowned and asked”Why so many questions? I said I wanted to sell these cards didn’t I.”

Regaining her professional smile the Saleslady hurriedly apologized,

“Sorry sir, please let me double-check before offering you a price.”

“Okay”

While the Saleslady was busy appraising the cards for their authenticity. The waiter brought my order in a trailer.

“Your order sir, one large steak and coke large. Would you prefer a dining table, sir?.”

“No, I will have it here.”

After hearing me the waiter elegantly placed the dish and drink on the coffee table and walked away.

Without caring for the busy Saleslady I began to enjoy my dinner.

” Sorry for the delay sir, after talking to the manager and careful consideration we have come up with these prices.

For the card with a 92 durability rating, we offer you 92,000$ and for the other one with the perfect durability rating we offer 157,000$

If you are not satisfied with the price we are offering you, we can always put them up for auction but it will take a minimum of two days to auction these cards.

We recommend auction as it will fetch the maximum price for these cards.”

To tell the truth I was actually dissatisfied with the price they offered because not only were my cards contain good abilities but had perfect star and durability ratings, and they looked fly and could also be considered as collectables compared to the cards they sold.

Card auction is very common in this world as it is the most efficient way to collect diverse and desired cards. I could consider it but I needed the money right now to continue with the next phase of my plan that is to buy a card for my self-defence.

But what surprised me the most is the difference in the price of the two cards, it seems making cards with perfect durability is harder than I thought. I just hope these cards don’t bring any trouble my way.

Putting down the fork, sipping the coke I said, “okay, I will auction the card with perfect durability and sell the other one to you.”

“Sure sir, let me remind you that the guild association mall will take 10% as auction charges.”

“No problem.”

“Okay sir, I will contact you with the results of the auction in two days. Anything else sir.”

“I would like to buy a few cards and some cosmetics,

The Bear Form card is for my self-defence while the Mud Forgot Skin card and the cosmetics are for my skin. I am not a vain person who cares about fair skin but I would still prefer to have smooth and glowing skin rather than patchy skin filled with bumps and dark spots suffering from light acne.

If someone tells you that they don’t care about outer beauty then they are probably lying or don’t know how much of a hypocrite they are.

Being an entrepreneur I know how much first impressions mattered. And why be looked down upon when you can be the person whom all ladies want to be with and all men want to be like.

Finishing my dinner, I hailed a cab to my flat and then slept like a log.
