Chapter 26: A Special Grade S Equipment Appearing At the Auction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Tianyu smiled but didn’t answer Li Qingqing’s question.

As Li Qingqing did not receive any response, she angrily sat beside Ye Tianyu, occasionally looking at him with a strange expression.

Amidst the intense bidding, a mutant successfully won the bid for the Grade C skill book with 10 million gold coins.

After the skill book was auctioned off, the beautiful auctioneer took out many other items.

Not only were there skill books, but there were also all sorts of rare potions, equipment, and weapons.

There were many of them.

Ye Tianyu sat on the chair. He was not interested in the items being auctioned. He closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the next item to be auctioned.

Li Qingqing, on the other hand, watched the auction attentively. Of course, her gaze was always on the beautiful auctioneer. Occasionally, she would mutter to herself.

It seemed like she was still upset with what had just happened.

The auction continued for more than two hours, but the atmosphere was still very lively.

At one point, all the mutants present exclaimed in surprise.

There were also quite a few people who managed to obtain the items that they desired and had walked out of the auction hall without any hesitation.

In these two hours, there were more than 200 items being auctioned.

Every item would cause quite a stir once they were brought out of the market.

Ye Tianyu watched the auction from beginning to end, but there was nothing that interested him.

However, Li Qingqing on the side had bid a few times and won a few pieces of gorgeous but relatively useless equipment.

In her words, sometimes beauty was more important than practicality.

Of course, regarding Li Qingqing’s actions, Ye Tianyu didn’t express his opinion. He only quietly paid attention to the items that appeared in the auction.

After two hours of auction, it was the first intermission.

This period of time was for the auctioneer to rest. At the same time, it was also to relieve the guests’ fatigue from all the aesthetic items presented and prepare for the climax of the auction.

It had to be said that this black market auction was conducted quite professionally.

After a short break, the beautiful auctioneer appeared in their line of sight again, swaying her sexy hips.

She adjusted her condition and solemnly announced the start of the new auction.

“This is a special piece of equipment. Its origin is very mysterious. Even appraisers can’t determine its grade.”

The beautiful auctioneer held a black armor and began to show it to everyone.

However, the information she gave was so brief that no one expressed much interest.

A voice came from one of the rooms and asked, “Since it’s a special piece of equipment, what is it used for?”

“You can’t possibly expect us to buy it for decoration! Haha!”

His question resonated with the other bidders. Most of them stood up to express their agreement.

This stumped the auctioneer. Most of the information on this armor was unclear when it was chosen as an auction item. Even professional appraisers would find it difficult to determine its grade.

However, nothing could be found. This meant that this equipment was not simple.

After all, if it was an ordinary item, even ordinary mutants could tell, let alone a professional appraiser.

Seeing the auctioneer’s stumped expression, many people immediately gave up on bidding.

The people who could enter the auction hall were all mutants with high net worth. Although money was not difficult for them to earn, they were not stupid enough to buy a useless item.

The originally lively scene suddenly became quiet.

It seemed like no one was interested in that special equipment.

The beautiful auctioneer was also quite professional. Even if the atmosphere was not filled with enthusiasm, she still continued with the standard procedures.

“The starting price for this special equipment is ten million gold coins and there is no limit.”

As the beautiful auctioneer spoke, she placed the black armor on the stage, indicating to everyone to start bidding.

However, after she finished speaking, the people present did not bid as crazily as they did in the first round. No one even offered an initial bid.

Many people were discussing in private.

“There’s not even the basic information of the grade and function of the black armour, yet its initial bid actually starts from 10 million gold coins. Let alone 10 million, I wouldn’t even consider 1000 gold coins.”

“If I had to buy it for 10 million, it would be better off spending the night with a few beauties in the black market, haha!”

“In my opinion, calling it a special equipment is just a gimmick. Such a useless piece of equipment probably has no use for mutants at all.”

Many bidders mocked as they gave their opinions.

Most of their opinions were disdainful of the black armor.

This scene made the beautiful auctioneer feel extremely awkward.

She had hosted dozens of auctions, but this was the first time she had encountered such an awkward situation.

However, this was not her fault. If she had to spend 10 million gold coins to buy this useless armor, she would have the same reaction as most people.

After all, who would be so bold as to spend so much money to buy an ornament?

The reason why they took out this piece of equipment was because the higher-ups of the auction wanted to give it a try. They did not expect it to really be auctioned off.

Every time there was an auction, there would be a situation where an item would be passed. For the beautiful auctioneer, this sort of situation was not uncommon.

However, she did not expect this armor to be so unpopular.

Hearing the boos from the bidders and with no one participating in the auction, the auctioneer could only put away the armor and prepare for the next item.

Right at this moment, Ye Tianyu’s eyes suddenly lit up.

His heart surged like a huge wave, and even his breathing became hurried.

His gaze was fixed on the armor, but a familiar interface appeared in his eyes.

[Grade S equipment—Dark Dragon Armor]

Note: Increase the wearer’s mana points by 500. Upon activation, it can increase all attributes, increase speed by 20%, defense by 20%, attack power by 20%…

[Only usable by Dark Summoners!]

Ye Tianyu was delighted when he saw the information on the interface.

It was not a useless item. It was clearly an extremely powerful Grade S equipment.

Not only did it increase a large amount of mana points, it also enhanced all attributes by 20%. It was practically a piece of equipment tailored for him.

Yet no one was bidding for such good equipment?

Ye Tianyu noticed the description of the armor and instantly understood the reason.

It turned out that other people’s class were not Dark Summoners, so they could not see the equipment information. Even the appraisers at the auction houses could not see it.

Just as Ye Tianyu was getting excited, he felt a cold sensation on his forehead.

He turned around and saw Li Qingqing placing her slender palm on his forehead and giving him a strange look.

“Li Qingqing, what are you doing?”
