The auction started as the announcer introduced himself . 

This time around it was surprisingly an female announcer for the event , a fairy at that with beautiful rainbow wings behind her white dress. 

Against common misconception , fairies are not palm sized in Omega , they are full human sized people , their distinctive feature from the winged human race was their rainbow transparent wings and their pointy ears . 

The announcer had an extremely pleasant voice as she started the auction with greetings " Ladies and gentlemen , the auction committee extends their warmest welcomes to everyone here in attendance today , we hope the bidding process will go smoothly and everyone will have a great experience. Before we start the auction process , please let me remind you off the rules 

1 Any raise of the plack card would result in a minimum bid increment. There are no ' mistakenly' raising of placks , once raised , will be considered as a bid. 

2 Borrowing of money is allowed this time around in the auction , just before making any bids , make sure the person making the bid , has the amount in person. All invalid bids will be denied by the system , and the second highest bidder shall gain the item , whereas the invalid bidder will be subjected to monetary fines. 

3 incremental bids of money greater than minimum increment need to be spoken into the microphone provided to each participant. 

4 the auction house shall have no responsibility of the item. Once delivered to customer. 

Alright ladies and gentlemen. Please enjoy your time here. " She said cutely as the first item was brought om the stage. 

The auction arena had 18 thousand participants this time around. 

Rudra was shocked to see the huge crowded arena , it was a slugfest. Rudra could imagine the intense bidding in this crowd of people. 

He thanked his lucky stars he was there sitting in VIP , the last time he participated in the auction he was one of those unrecognisable faces in the crowd. A small time guild leader with just over 15 thousand gold for the auction , desperately bidding on every item that could be afforded , but walking out without a single one. 

Sitting in the VIP he could not help but get nostalgic over his past. 

The first item was brought out for the auction , it was the weapons section that was brought out first , starting with a rare grade bow for 1000 gold coins minimum increment of 100 . 

2000 some enthusiastic kid shouted 

2100

2300

2500

2700

Before even 5 seconds passed there were a variety of bids being thrown. 

Rudra sighed at these idiots. The bow wasn't even worth the initial 1000 they proposed. It was rare grade for gods sake , no need to fight over it like dogs. 

The first bid went to a third rate guild leader at 6700 gold coins. 

He had absolutely overpaid the price , however the respect he gained for the money forked out was probably worth it to him. 

There were murmurings going around , some couldnt beleive someone just forked out 6700 gold at once. How shocked would they become when Rudra started bidding later. 

The second weapon then came.

Then the third .

Fourth .

.

.

.

.

. Finally the last weapon was brought out for auction. 

It was a dark gold grade assasins dagger . 

The initial bid was for 10,000 gold with a minimum increment of 500 

The Buyout was at 60 thousand gold. 

The bidding opened 

11,000

12,000

20,000

23,000

25,000

30,000

32,000

33,000 

There was intense bidding competition going on 

Finally just as the annoucer said " 33,000 going one .... Going twice ....". 

Rudra said " Buyout ! ". 

Boom just like that 60 K spent ! 

Everyone in the audience felt shocked ..... Just how rich was VIP1 to increase the price from 33 to 60 K without batting an eye. 

Even the previous bidder for the item felt baffled at the development. What just happened? Was he just waiting for others to fight like kids before just snooping in to buy it out? 

Fairy smiled as she said " congratulations vip1 for winning the item ". 

Meanwhile at the alliance VIP room no 2 , they were all casually observing the situation developing , there were 3 alliance leaders in favour of buying the dagger , but four were against hence they did not bid on it. 

They sure felt surprised at how easily the Elites box said buyout for the item though . 

" Huh , idiots wasting money on small items , probably wont have enough left for the big ones " Ilovesmashing sarcastically said. 

But PinkLotus countered immediately " anyone with half a brain would know they are not to be underestimated , if anything this action prooves they have deeper pockets than we think. " 

The other leaders agreed , it made Ilovesmashing look like a fool. So he just snorted and took his seat. However he kept glaring daggers at PinkLotus. 

Yua just shrugged it off. She kept thinking about Rudra in the box across though , and how they always kept ending in different factions and were never together , how much did she long for them to be in the same box , rather than these bunch of arguing idiots. However things were the way they were and her wishful thinking was not going to change anything . 

Soon the second segment of rare ingredients came up for auction. 

The thing with this segment was , nobody really knew the real use of the things being displayed here , they did not know the worth , hence everyone was reluctant to pay up . 

Well everyone but the reincarnator who had the knowledge about every single herb being presented . 

Rudra just kept saying buyout after buyout for all 10 herbs , forking about 400 thousand gold in the single segment. 

By now everyone just went crazy ..... Just who was that mad guy in VIP box 1? 

Before anyone could even place a bid for the initial sum , he shouted buyout! 

This way of gaming .... TOO RICH!
