Michael and Gaya were flying at a low altitude after being separated from Noah and the girls, so low they almost touched the mountain peak while admiring the island's splendid scenery. The entire island's landscape caused them to feel extremely relaxed. The more they saw, the more they felt that this Julius was someone who truly knew how to enjoy life.
"Do you know how this auction works?" While flying, Gaya asked him.
"Nope, no idea," Michael replied with a smile.
"Human, this auction fair is divided into two parts, and it will last for two days. There is a huge square on the south side of the island, and it can hold over ten thousand men at any point in time. The first part of the auction fair is held within this square, and many humans will put treasures with hopes of selling them. Some will sell pills, potions, weapons, spell scrolls, and many other shits. If you were lucky, you could find something precious for an affordable price here"
"What about the second part?"
"The second part is the auction that's held within Julius's Manor. Many people who have precious treasures will entrust them to Julius, and auction them off on the second day. Of course, he will take a small cut if this treasure is successfully sold. Unlike the first day, you'll definitely find something precious and valuable if you can pay the price.
Those who participate in the auction are all filthy rich men, and the treasures that appear in the auction are something that ordinary people could afford."
I do wonder, can I find a dragon baby here?" After seeing that golden fur monkey on Noah's shoulder, he too wanted a pet so badly and not an ordinary pet but a dragon.
Gaya rolled her eyes and lightly elbowed him in the gut "what is up with you and dragons? Those thieving lizards are good for nothing except bringing trouble"
He noticed a tinge of enmity and fear deep in her tone. Although nothing she could say would make him change his mind, he did wonder why she is so adamant and trying to stop him.
"Did you see Noah and his pet? If he can have a pet, why can't I? But I don't want a monkey, I want a dragon. If you want me to change my mind, name something that is more badass and awesome than a dragon"
"I can name one"
"Do tell"
"A Naga" she proudly said as he put his hands on her shoulder
"So your kind is more badass and awesome than the dragons?"
"Of course, we are superior to dragons in every way" Again, she couldn't help but show her pride on her face while talking.
"Then will you be my pet?" He moved closer and whispered in her ears.
"Arrghhh!" She never expected this question and when she heard him, her face slightly reddened in anger. However, he held her hands tightly, therefore, she couldn't vent his anger using her hands but only her mouth.
"How dare you! Pet? Fuck you bastard! You'll never find a dragon in your life or a girl, I curse you!"
She looked so cute while she's angry. Michael couldn't help but smile and feel light whenever he teased her and made her mad. It was a new kind of feeling for him to have someone who could become a friend in the future. However, Michael didn't know one thing, the loyalty meter in the system wasn't as straight forwards as he was thinking, especially when he and Gaya were on the same wavelength.
"Don't worry honey, I will find both"
"Eww, who're you calling honey?! Don't you ever call me that or I'll do something to you"
"Hahaha'' He laughed and the duo landed on the island to see a huge manor standing magnificently. Looking ahead, he could find rows of finely built buildings, green hills, and clear water almost everywhere. There was even a waterfall there. The manor reminded him of the Biltmore estate in North Carolina. He had never lived in a mansion like this and everything on the island, including the whole island, made him desire the life of being the wealthy powerful immortal more and more.
On the south side of the island, there was indeed a huge and empty square. The Heaven's gate square that held Heaven's gate competition was big, but compared to this square in front of him, it could only be considered a small square.
The square was filled with carriages and people wearing all kinds of dresses. He walked towards the square to check it out leaving the pegasus in Gaya's hands.
" Come closer, come closer! 78% pure cultivation focus pill, a must-have item for all cultivators! With this pill, your concentration will go up by many folds!"
"Flying swords for rent! Only 5 gold coins and you can take a tour around the Phoenix island despite your cultivation level!"
"Top-level uncommon spell scroll for only twenty thousand gold coins!"
Around him, he could see merchants and peddlers everywhere, and more and more warriors began to set up a small hut and took out items to sell.
"Old man, is that really 78% pure cultivation focus pill?"
"Of course it is! Young man, I've been in this business since before you were born and I never, I mean never in my life sold something that's not what I claim"
"Alright, how much is it?"
"You can have it for only forty thousand gold coins"
With a self-flattering smile, the old white-bearded man held a fist-sized pill in his hand. The pill was glowing like a shiny crystal.
"Forty thousand?! Dang that's expensive, I'll give you twenty"
"twenty? Do you think I'm selling fruits? Forty thousand is the best I can do. if you don't want to buy it, move aside, I'm sure that someone will buy it"
"Fuck! You win old man, here's your forty thousand!"
The young warrior took out his pay cube and handed them over to the old man. The Cultivation focus pill had a great effect on ordinary cultivators, it could help them focus their mind quickly and enter a state of cultivation.
Michael saw this deal from a few meters away and shook his head.
"What is it human?"
"That pill is just 20% pure and barely worth the price that guy paid "
Gaya wasn't looking very surprised to hear what he just said, "this place is filled with con men and swindlers, human. if you are not smart enough, they will sell you a Gecko as a dragon"
Nodding at her, he strolled through the square to find something interesting and when they passed a shop that seemed like a female clothes shop, Gaya halted her steps.
"Human" he saw a hint of awkwardness in her eyes.
"What?"
"Can you..."
"Here" before Gaya could finish her words, he took her space ring and transferred two hundred thousand gold coins into her ring. She was not the type to horde fancy dresses and jewelry like normal girls but when Michael rummaged through her space ring, he found that she had only three pairs of dresses and one was torn in the back. So after seeing her stop in front of a clothes store, he realized her intention and gave her enough coins to buy as many clothes as she wanted.
"Go crazy. We'll meet at the center of the square in two hours" he left her before she could say anything and when she looked into her space rings, she couldn't help but be surprised at the amount he left her with. She wanted to ask only a couple of thousand gold coins because, with that amount, she could buy some really nice clothes but he gave her enough coins to buy the entire shop and a few more. Moreover, she could tell that he didn't give her these coins as a loan. This gesture of him slightly warmed her heart as he let out a small smile and entered the shop.
**************
Leaving Gaya to go on a shopping spree, Michael wandered around the square in the hope of finding something interesting because most of the novel MCS would find rare and valuable things that normal people overlook in places like this.
With more people coming to the place, the business was getting hotter. All sorts of things and strange items began showing up, and the entire place became very lively.
[How long does the host plan to blindly wander around the square?]
