"The currency will be in units, with the starting bid set at one million unit and a minimum increase of 100,000 units for each subsequent bid," Kevin announced as he uncovered the furnace. He didn't bother to gauge their reactions, confident in the value of the item. The system had left the pricing up to him, and he wasn't about to start low.
As he revealed the furnace, a reddish-brown structure with crimson streaks resembling cracks, he continued, "Behold the Magma Vein Alchemy Furnace. It's crafted from a material known as Crimson Vein Alloy, found in the deepest parts of the ocean. This alloy contains high concentrations of both Earth and Water qi, along with magma energy, making it ideal for an alchemy furnace. The Water qi ensures it doesn't overheat, while the magma energy allows for precise heat control, making it easier to treat herbs with unparalleled accuracy."
As the murmurs of admiration and surprise filled the room, Kevin allowed them a moment to take in the sight of the Magma Vein Alchemy Furnace. Once the initial buzz began to settle, he addressed the group.
"Now, before we begin the bidding, does anyone have any questions?" Kevin asked, his tone inviting but professional.
A hand shot up from the back of the room. The young man who raised it had an air of confidence about him, though his expression was polite and respectful. He was well-known among the alchemists of Lucima City—a rising talent who had garnered a reputation as one of the most promising students under Trita Sera, the only female Senior Alchemist in the city. His name was Rami Rivla.
Kevin nodded in his direction. "Yes, Mr.Rami. What would you like to ask?"
Qela, frustrated by Rami's counter, raised her hand again with determination. "10 million units," she declared, surprising some and amusing others.
Kevin's smile widened with excitement as the bid reached a point he was satisfied with. Anything beyond this was just a bonus. He announced, "10 million going once, going twice..." "10.1 million," called out a young female alchemist, adding a new twist to the bidding war. Kevin's grin grew even brighter. "Miss Rufina has entered the bid at 10.1 million units. Going once..." he said, but the bidding continued to climb higher.
The bidding continued with increasing fervor. Qela, not willing to concede easily, kept pushing her offers higher. "15 million units," she declared, her voice firm and unwavering.
Rami, not to be outdone, immediately countered, "15.5 million units." His expression was resolute, his eyes locked on the furnace as though it were the key to his future.
Rufina, equally determined, raised her hand once more. "16 million units," she said, her voice calm but with an edge of competitive intensity.
The auction room buzzed with excitement as the bids soared. Kevin watched with a satisfied grin, noting the heated competition between Qela, Rami, and Rufina. His employees, standing by, shared his enthusiasm, knowing that the higher the bids went, the larger their bonus would be.
Qela, clearly frustrated by the persistent challengers, threw her hand up again. "16.5 million units," she said, her voice strained but determined.
