chapter: 9

Saudo stared at the small crystal in his hand. It gave a cold aura and looked that it was pulsing with energy.

'Should I sell this? I mean this could get me a lot of money but I kinda need a item that can help me. Plus this Summon seems to tailored to my stats.'

After thinking for a few moment Saudo crushed the crystal in his hand. The crystal wasn't hard to break even with his low STR stat. The specks of black dust from the crystal started to gather and then enveloped his body completely covering him.

The black dust started to seep into his skin and once it was done he looked completly normal except a black tattoo on his left wrist in the shape of a Slime.

"Summon Pink Slime."

The tattoo on his arm reacted to his words and seemingly out of thin air a small pink slime appeared in front of him.

The Slime was about the same size as when it was alive maybe a tab bit smaller. From this close it was actually quite adorable because of its size and color.

A Summon is a rare type of item that any battle class can make use of because of the wide arrange of Summons.

A monster can drop a Summon crystal which will always summon the monster that dropped it. A monster would drop a Summon Crystal once every 1000 kills so finding one was kinda rare. Even throughout the 20,000 adventurers there was only about 3 or 4 hundred of them that have the quantity of strong enough Summons to use them as a main attacking force.

'So I can use this little guy to raise the amount of money I get from killing monsters as well as raise my luck by a considerable amount.'

"I'm gonna call you Pinky because saying Pink Slime is pretty generic."

The Slime started to hop up and down, it seemed to like its new name.

"Alright Pinky use Fluidity and turn into a pen for me."

'I can't just outright have Pinky in the open some higher Level adventurers might want to kill me for him, so I'm gonna have him be as small as possible.'

Pinky started to churn and some of his pink Slime started to fall off and turn into the black dust which went back into the tattoo. After 90% of Pinky's slime was gone it moved its Core to the edge of the remaining slime and its form began to change. It elongated the remaining slime and made the tip of the pen and finally created the handle.

Pinky looked like a small pink pen that could easily fit inside of your hand.

Saudo picked up Pinky and checked the Auction House. He obviously wasn't gonna buy anything because he wanted to save up money for later.

In front of each room there was a sign that told you what is gonna be sold in that room and how much the base price is wanted.

As Saudo walked to the top floor where the Rank S items were he looked at the signs of the only two rooms on the floor.

Since there was only about 100 Rank S adventurers in Lurik the space for the Rank S was much greater than the lower floors but also there was much fewer rooms due to lack of people.

One the sign read a few items being sold all of S Ranking of course.

The Keep (Bastard Sword) Price 600 Gold

Fortress(Large Shield) Price 300 Gold

Book of Divine Fire Spirit (Manual) Price 1 Platinum

Rank S Slime Core(Ingredient) Price 70 Gold

'Huh so my Slime Core is on the lower side of the prices. I guess that should be expected because it is and ingredient.'

Saudo walked into the Auction Room, the room was nicely furnished. It had a simplistic design with a small amount of decorations other than the stage where the item was to be auctioned. There was a area where the buyers could lounge with each other because almost all of them were Rank S they could talk to each other about certain adventures or whatever.

Saudo sat down at one of the private booths so that no one could bother him.

"Now selling the second to last item for today! A Rank S Divine Fire Spirit Manual. It was dropped by a the Dungeon boss Igrit the Fire Lord. The book is a manual for wizard battle class only and teaches them how to Summon a few different Divine Flame Spirits. The bidding will start at 1 Platinum."

"1 Platinum 80 Gold." said a older man dressed in a gold lined robe.

"1 Platinum 200 Gold"

"1 Platinum 220 Gold"

The older man gave a glare to a young man that bid on his offer.

"1 Platinum 230 Gold, I can do this all day."

"1 Platinum 250 Gold"

"1 Platinum 300 Gold"

"1 Platinum . . ."

"1 Plati . . ."

"1 . . ."

The two men kept on going at the book. The bidding was ongoing for 8 minutes until the older man backed down seeing that the price was now exceeding the amount it was worth.

"And sold to the Young man in the black robe for 1 Platinum 870 Gold! Come pick up your item at the end of all the Auctions."

The amount he paid for that book is enough to buy 3 decently sized houses. To him it was worth a book but to Saudo it could be a lifetime of money.

"Now onto our last item of the day a Rank S Slime Core. This ingredient was found by an anonymous seller from a boss he fought. The Core could be used to make Revival Potions. The bidding is starting at 70 Gold."

"80 Gold"

Right away the bidding began with a 10 gold raise. Saudo was hoping for what happened to the last item to happen to his because every Gold was like well . . . gold to him.

"95 Gold."

"110 Gold."

"130 Gold."

"Ok fine you can have it I can't spend much more money today." and just like that the bidding ended and Saudo just got a small amount of extra money.

"Sold to the priest in yellow you can pick up your Rank S Slime Core right now and whoever bought Items from the previous actions come now your items are ready!"

Saudo walked out of the Rank S Auction Room a bit disappointed, he was hoping that the bidding would go on a little longer so that he could scrape some more money out of them.

When he got into the main lobby and showed the clerk his card she gave him a back with 117 Gold in it and he left the building with a small fortune.
