[A high-ranked beast egg!!] The system exclaimed in a surprised voice.
"Mm?" Max's eyes brightened when he heard the system's exclamation and asked, "Are you sure it is a high-ranked beast egg?"
At the same time, he felt the system's voice just now resembled a human almost completely. However, he didn't overthink it because the system had already been 'developing' for some time. Moreover, his attention was on the golden rock.
[Yes. This is most likely an egg of a golden-winged python.] The system replied and added, [Kid; you should do your best to acquire it. It will help you a lot in future.]
Although Max didn't know what a golden-winged python was, he knew it would be able to reach at least a five-star realm since it was a high-grade egg. Such a strong beast would be of much help as his pet. He could even traverse the dangerous way to the central plains.
Thinking this, he became very excited. However, he felt it was weird that not only did the system speak in a much more casual tone, it even addressed him as 'kid' instead of 'host.
This sudden change made him think something was wrong, and his eyes narrowed imperceptibly.
As if the system knew what he was thinking, the system said, [Don't worry, kid. There is nothing wrong here. The system's speech style was always supposed to be like this. However, because It was without a host for a long time, it lost quite a bit of energy and couldn't function the same as it was designed.]
Then its voice turned solemn as it said, [No matter what changes the system has, the system will never do anything to harm you, so don't worry.]
Upon hearing this, Max took in a breath of relief. Although he was still a bit sceptical, there was nothing he could do.
The system then added, [That's enough chit-chat. Now hurry up and bid for the egg.]
"Oh, okay." Max nodded and turned to Siana, who just raised her hand to quieten down the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce this item some of you call a 'useless rock." Siana smiled a little and continued, "Although we don't know of its origin, which is why we called it a mysterious item, we do know that it is an egg. Moreover, it is an egg from one of the high-tier beasts and should have the potential of reaching at least King rank when it matures."
"Beast capable of becoming a king mage? How awesome!"
"I knew the auction house is upright and won't try to exploit us."
"If I get this egg, I will have a king-rank pet. At that time, no one in the kingdom would be a threat to me."
"I have to have this egg no matter what. I would sell everything I have if the need arose."
"That still wouldn't be enough because the guests on the floor, second and third, would definitely compete with us."
"..."
As soon as Siana's voice fell, the crowd broke out in a commotion. Everyone seemed to forget about the spirit fruits as they scrambled to rally more Mana stones to bid for the egg.
Max didn't react as strongly as the crowd since the system had already told him about it.

However, he couldn't help but be surprised upon hearing about the possibility of the beast inside reaching king rank. This cemented his resolve to acquire it, even if it meant giving up the spirit fruits.
In room number 2, although Leticia also became excited upon hearing Siana's words, she didn't say anything since she knew they didn't have enough wealth to contest for it.
In room number 23, the young master from the war blood race turned to the middle-aged beside him and urgently said, "Uncle, we should bid for it and do our best to acquire it. If what she said is true, then we will have a king-rank pet. It will increase our family's standing."
"Don't be hasty lest you become disappointed later." The middle-aged man replied calmly.
"Huh? What do you mean?" The young master asked, confused.
"You will know soon enough." The middle-aged man didn't explain. Although the young man was quite impatient in nature, he believed in the middle-aged man and focused on the auction platform.
Others in the guest rooms reacted the same way. They knew that something was amiss with the egg. If not, why would the Elves put something as valuable as it on the auction instead of keeping it? After all, the most powerful person in the city was only a five-star mage. If they had a king-rank pet, Ninam city would be safer.
Siana smiled, "I'm sure most of you want to know why we are auctioning it instead of keeping it, right?"
Without waiting for anyone's reply, she continued, "It's because our auction house is incapable of hatching it."
There was silence when everyone heard her before they broke out in a commotion.
"No wonder. They are willing to sell it."
"Damn it. I got my hopes high in vain."
"What are they thinking? Why would they put it on auction knowing it won't sell?"
"Maybe they think someone will buy it, hoping to hatch it himself?"
"Pa! When even the Greenwave auction house with its enormous resources can't do it, who would be foolish enough to think they can do it?"
"..."
The guests on the second and third floors had nodded to themselves upon hearing this and weren't disappointed. They had already expected it. The young master from the war blood race looked at his uncle in admiration, "You were right, uncle." His uncle only smiled in response.
In their room, Leticia felt a bit happy hearing this. If the egg were without any problem, she would feel bad about not being able to buy it, but since it was useless, she won't feel anything.
Unlike Leticia, Max frowned and thought, 'Since it can't hatch, is there any benefit in buying it? Maybe the system has some way of hatching it.'
Just as he was about to ask the system about it, the system's voice sounded in his ears, [Don't worry about hatching it. I will take care of it. You make sure to buy it.]
