Chapter 300: 300: True Mortal Grade Armor

The auction continued. It had been half an hour now and around 8 items had been sold until now. 6 out of those 8 items however had been won by the man in D4. 

People were extremely angry at the man right now. Normally, one would only be jealous or envious of seeing a man with so much money. 

But the man from D4 was not only showing off his money, he was ruining the auction for the rest of the people here. Not only did he bid for items immediately after someone else bid for it, from time to time he would tell them to bid for it if they could. 

That was a level of arrogance that people did not like. 

The latest item sold was a pill cauldron of True Earth grade, exactly the same in grade as Alex's Golden Jade cauldron. The cauldron was sold to a person from room F8 for 950 spirit stones. It seemed the man from D4 was not interested in alchemy at all. 

Another tray of items appeared and Yu Min pulled off the cloth from atop it revealing a thin, black shirt. 

"Huh?" Alex thought. "Why is a T-shirt being sold here. How did the design even come into the game? Is this an… what is it called?  easter egg? or are the players already influencing the game world enough?" Alex wondered. 

Whatever the case, he was looking forward to why a t-shirt would be in an auction this late. 

Yu Min picked up the T-shirt and showed it to the audience. "This is an armor, crafted by an elder of Tranquil Union sect and recently brought here to be sold. It is a True Mortal grade armor that can block the physical attacks from anyone below True Master realm."

"Let us show you," she said and brought out two different people. One was in the self tempering realm, while the other one was in the True Disciple realm. 

The weaker man wore the armor and withdrew all cultivation base until he looked like nothing more than a mortal. 

Alex had seen this before and as he expected, the True realm man hit the Self tempering realm man and he was not hurt at all. 

'Wow, this is much better than blue armor Huo Tu was wearing. I must get this,' he thought.

"As you can see, the armor is truly amazing, especially for those still in the Self Tempering realm. Best of all, the armor needs no refining to work properly and is 100% usable from the very start."

"The bid will start at 800 spirit stones and increase by 10 spirit stones at a minimum. Please begin," Yu Min said and hit the wood with her gavel. 

The armor was very valuable and thus everyone jumped on the bid. Alex wanted to join too but decided to wait for just a little longer until the number of people bidding was lower. 

Soon the bid reached 1000 spirit stones. Everything was fine, and people were bidding happily, but then the man from D4 decided to join the bidding war as well.

"1040 spirit stones," he bid. As soon as he joined, the rest of the crowd grew quiet. 

"1050 spirit stones," someone else tried to bid while everyone was silent but was immediately shut down when the man bid once more. 

Someone else tried to join in but they were shut down as well.

Alex looked at the situation and frowned. He really wanted the armor and was an amazing one too since it was so thin and wouldn't be seen as one. But he didn't want to go against this man. 

'F*ck. I need to get braver and take my chances,' he thought to himself and decided to join in. 

"1100 spirit stones," he bid, but he knew another bid was coming. 

"1110 spirit stones," the man in D4 bid, but Alex didn't let him get away with it. 

"1120 spirit stones," he immediately bid back. 

"1130 spirit stones," the man bid back too. 

"1140 spirit stones," Alex wasn't backing down either. 

The back and forth was intense and lasted for a little while until it reached 2000 spirit stones. 20  True spirit stones were considered a bit too much even for an item like this, but Alex didn't care. He needed armor and had the money, so he would spend it as he saw fit. 

The man was about to make another bid when suddenly a small voice only a few rooms in the vicinity could hear appeared once more. 

"Uncle, why are you fighting for an armor like this? I can't understand you. You have a galore of armors much better than this," the young man spoke once more. 

The staff lady in Alex's room suddenly walked up to him and said, "Please excuse me for a moment, dear guest." Then she left the room. Alex didn't know what she was doing but he didn't bother her.

"Haha, but it's fun though," the older man from D4 replied and bid back, "2010 spirit stones." 

Alex didn't want to give up just now, "2020 spirit stones." 

"It seems the fellow from below us really wants it, Uncle, why don't you stop this?" the young man said. 

"Haha, his voice sounds so young, it must be a kid younger than you, Nephew. Let me see," the man said. 

Alex didn't understand what the man was saying but suddenly, his heart dropped. He could feel something washing over him. Over his body, over his cloth, and over his face. 

'Spiritual Sense,' Alex thought in shock. It was good that he didn't send out spiritual sense to check the different people in his vicinity, or he would've revealed himself by now. He tried to not show his shock and stayed as calm as possible. 

"Oh, this young fellow… hahaha…you are right Nephew, I should let this young man take the armor. It might—" the man suddenly stopped as another much smalled and barely audible voice appeared from the room. 

"Dear guest, you are pressing the button for the speaker and your words have been broadcasting to the nearby vicinity."
