The Dungeon System
47.auction part 1

Adam follows Cole, along with the rest of the crowd, and they begin to disperse after being led by the staff to a designated viewing room.

Each guest invited, had a private viewing room to watch the auction and bid.

Adam followed Cole and their room was quite small, but more than enough for two, with a balcony peering from the stage in a large open hall.

On the balcony was a large sofa, which was long enough for five people, and there was a screen with red buttons they could use to make an offer.

Adam is struck by a lavish, well-organized show of wealth and auction house that has dozens of spectacle halls of various sizes that also have perfect stage views and have the ability to bid with the screen is located in each of them. from the viewing room.

"Now we're just watching an auction that's not interesting to me, then we can go and go somewhere else" Cole said as he slumped on the sofa.

"Will your father come" asked Adam, joining Cole's side on the sofa.

"I haven't seen him in years" he added, awaiting a response from Cole.

"To be honest I don't know myself, and he is always very busy, but I have to keep up appearances for him" Cole replied with a shrug.

Speaking amongst themselves for 5 minutes, they finally started the auction that they noticed.

Adam in particular, was very curious about what was offered in the auction and hoped that he could find something related to cultivation.

From what he saw from the movies, series and novels, Adam had a lot of wild ideas about what cultivation meant, but from what he had done and seen with the Underground Prison System, believing that weapons and equipment with enhanced effects would be used by cultivators.

[I remember a system that said that cultivators could use the energy from special items and maybe I could find one of those items today at this fancy auction] Adam thought to himself.

{Do the host want to unlock treasure sensing feature} ask on the system.

[How much] asked Adam.

{10.000 points system} answer system.

[You know I don't have a lot of system points, it sucks] Adam thought.

Adam had the idea to test the treasure hunting ability of his goblin summoning, which was a special trait, but he knew that he could not be with Cole beside him and that it would cause a huge commotion.

A mature and beautiful-looking woman, wearing an alluring and open red dress, walked onto the stage and stood in the middle.

"First is an emerald found in the Gulf of Mexico and thought to have a healing effect on the wearer" the woman announced as the screen behind her showed green emeralds and her assistant carefully bought emeralds on a trolley.

"Bidings start at 1,000,000 dollars" he said, allowing everyone to bid.

Adam was surprised by the woman who publicly announced that emeralds might have a healing effect and the starting price was 1,000,000 dollars.

[Don't tell me that all these people are cultivators and know about cultivation] thought Adam to himself, surprised, considering so many people who were there.

In Adam's mind, the cultivators would put on ancient robes and fly over the swords and all of them would become secluded and powerful monks, but what he saw was completely contrary to what he had imagined.

"Adam, I know this may surprise you, or it may not, but have you ever heard of cultivation" Cole whispered to Adam.

"As in the movies" Adam replied, being indifferent to what Cole was talking about.

"Yes and no, it's basically a pursuit of strength and you can think of it as body building or training to be an athlete. But instead of eating large amounts of food, they will use energy found in a special area, or in a special item like that emerald" Cole explained.

Adam pretended to be shocked, but it was hard to pretend to be shocked about something he already knew.

"My martial arts master mentioned it, but he didn't know about it and only taught me karate" Adam said, concocting a story that would not only forgive the knowledge he had about cultivators, he said, but also its inhuman strength.

"Yes that makes sense, no wonder you've become so strong" Cole murmured.

"But today it is rare to find many strong cultivators and most cultivators are only rank 1 at most and form small criminal organizations, aside from big families" Cole explained, trusting Adam with the truth about the world.

"What is a rank 1?" adam asked curiously, wanting to compare his own power system with the system used by cultivators.

"Nah rank 1 completes 10% of the first realm and will give the user double the power he had before" Cole explained.

[So rank 1 was the same as LVL 10, but from what Cole said, it was just thugs and small gangsters and the true cultivators of the cultivation family had to be much stronger than that. Which may also mean that the Maxwell Family was one of those cultivation families] gathering Adam.

Looking at Cole who had a very uncaring attitude, and seeing how much he knew, curiosity about his true identity bounced back, but he suppressed his curiosity for the future.

Adam had completely changed his mind about regretting his decision to leave with Cole, and he realized how eye-opening it was.

[This auction is starting to pull] Adam thought to himself as he watched everyone he saw, not underestimating a single one of them.
