Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 332

“We have arrived.”

Though a few bothersome incidents occurred, the journey didn’t take too long.

Thanks to taking the shortcut, we arrived at Lilac’s auction house faster than if we’d traveled along the main road.

“This is Lilac’s auction house, Acacia….”

It’s one of the two largest buildings in Lilac, along with the casino.

Not only is it vast in size as seen from the outside, but it’s also said to have a large underground space, so its true size is hard to fathom.

“Selling B-grade daggers! Good condition daggers obtained from the 44th floor!”

“Buying A-grade spears, regardless of options.”

“Come on, take a look!”

A huge market was set up around the auction house.

Of course, the entrance to the auction house was thoroughly guarded, so the market was just large enough not to interfere with entering the auction house.

Given the guards’ watchful eyes, it could be said to be the safest commercial district in Lilac.

“They sell goods here too.”

“These are either items too low-grade to be sold at the auction house or from people who want to avoid the commission fees by setting up stalls.”

“How interesting. I didn’t think Lilac’s auction house would allow something like this.”

“You’ll understand once you go inside the auction house. It’s no exaggeration to say that the inside and outside are completely different worlds.”

Even the items sold outside the auction house are not to be ignored.

Among them, there are treasures that the owner didn’t properly assess the value of and put up for sale at a low price.

If it’s Seun, he would be able to recognize those treasures.

However, at best, it would only be a slightly higher price than the market rate.

Players can check item information through the system, so they usually grasp the value properly.

If there’s anything that might attract someone else’s interest or seems suspicious, they’ll bring it to the auction house even if it means paying the commission fee.

So, even if you look around here, it will be difficult to find items of great value.

Of course.

“Oh, Seun! Take a look at this! It’s a monster corpse I’ve never seen before! This flame pouch looks quite useful….”

Unlike Seun, Baekhyun was completely absorbed in the monster market.

Even if they came up through the same trials, the monsters encountered vary slightly depending on the player.

So, it’s inevitable that curiosity arises when facing a monster for the first time.

“Let’s go inside the auction house first. Once you go inside, you won’t even notice things like that.”

“Is it that good? Haha, I’m looking forward to it!”

I pulled Baekhyun and headed to the entrance of the auction house.

Like the Colosseum of the Moraf Grand Festival, which was the trial on the 46th to 50th floors, there were people here to guide entrants.

The guards standing behind them had fierce expressions, but I wasn’t particularly scared.

Even if they seemed stronger than ordinary players, they were no match for Seun, let alone Park Jung-pil.

This world isn’t one where being big automatically means being strong.

Of course, excluding Kang Chul.

“Welcome to the Acacia Auction House. May I see your admission ticket?”

“It’s my first time.”

“Ah, I see. Then, could you fill this out first?”

There was nothing special written on the paper the guide handed over.

That’s because this auction house is a type of place recognized by the system [the game’s internal mechanics].

Just signing it guarantees your identity without having to record details like your level, and your personal information is protected.

I finished the registration by checking the rules to be followed within the auction house and signing.

Baekhyun did the same.

The guide who received the paper nodded and smiled brightly.

“We officially welcome you to the Acacia Auction House, adventurer.”

– You have been issued an access pass to the Acacia Auction House.

– You can now access the ‘Acacia Auction House’ from all shelters.

“Oh, that’s amazing. Not only in Lilac but also access from all shelters.”

This was the reason why you had to visit the auction house in Lilac.

Even if it was impossible during the trials, as long as you were in a shelter, whether it was the seventh or eighth, you could enter the auction house.

Moreover, that also connects to the items inside the auction house.

‘If you’re lucky, items from beyond the 70th floor might appear here.’

At this time, there probably aren’t any players who have cleared the 81st floor yet.

However, that means there’s a possibility that items put up by players who have reached the 80th floor are up for auction.

Rankers [top-ranked players] are more obsessed with getting stronger than anyone else, so such items don’t come out often, but sometimes they throw away unnecessary items.

Seun also remembers a few of those items.

‘It’s impossible now anyway.’

Before the regression, Seun came up to the sixth shelter a little later than now.

So, even if I go inside now, I won’t be able to get the items I saw back then.

Still, if I register the items of interest, I can receive an alarm at any time, so visiting the auction house was the first thing I chose to do.

“Please come this way.”

The door to the auction house opened.

Thanks to the brilliant white light flowing out, the inside was not visible at all.

Seun was indifferent because he had a lot of experience entering the auction house, but Baekhyun’s eyes widened as if he was amazed.

As soon as we passed through the door, along with the slight sense of incongruity felt when passing through the trials.

– Welcome to the Acacia Auction House.

The interior of the auction house, which seemed like a completely different world from the dark and red-lit streets of Lilac, came into view.

“This is the Acacia Auction House….”

The first sight inside the door was a huge hall.

Luxurious tables and chairs, waiters carrying drinks.

The floor was covered with a wide, blood-red carpet, and a large chandelier sparkled on the ceiling.

Looking back, besides the door Seun and Baekhyun passed through, there were four more large doors to the side.

‘This was one of the reasons why players thought the tower had 100 floors.’

The first door is the entrance to the sixth shelter, Lilac.

Then, in order, the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth shelters.

Based on the absence of an eleventh shelter, there is a saying that if you climb the 100th floor of the tower, there is an end, not a shelter.

The representative example of what is thought to exist there instead of a shelter is the Star Realm where the Constellations exist, or a place called the Divine Realm.

In other words, the moment a player passes the 100th floor, they escape mortality and become a Constellation [powerful, god-like beings].

Of course, this is just a rumor among players.

No matter how good the evidence is, until Seun regressed, no one had climbed even to the tenth shelter, let alone the hundredth floor.

– The Constellation, ‘The Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ is sparkling its eyes, saying it’s a pretty well-decorated space.

As soon as I entered the auction house, Mammon reacted.

Well, for her, the Demon God of Greed, the auction house is like a paradise full of sweet honey.

Perhaps the reaction will be even more intense when we go inside where the auction is in full swing.

“Amazing. I understand what you meant when you said it was a ‘completely different world.’”

The auction house was called a place of meeting.

This was the only place where players from all shelters could meet freely.

Besides.

‘Above all, it’s safe.’

The rules of the auction house were written in the contract I signed when I first entered the auction house. There was also a no-combat clause written there.

Therefore, combat in the auction house is strictly prohibited.

There is even a strict clause that if you violate this clause three times, you will not be able to enter the auction house for life, so no one would draw a weapon here unless they were crazy.

‘I see some familiar faces too.’

Before the regression, I wasn’t affiliated with a guild, but I worked harder than anyone else and faced various players.

I’m confident that I know more faces than anyone else, even if I’m not close to them.

In a tower where there is no one to trust, player information is more important than anything else.

“Seun, look at that. It’s a schedule.”

Baekhyun pointed to one wall of the hall.

There, the auction schedule according to time was listed at length.

Weapons, accessories, consumables, materials, etc. There were so many items that the schedule was endlessly long even though the types were classified.

Among them, what stood out were the items with their names written in gold in the middle of the schedule.

‘Remnants of the God of War, Magic Destroyer, Tears of Resentment….’

At least SS-grade [a very high ranking].

Among them, there were items with excellent options.

There was an auction for such items about once every six hours, and these were the highlights of the auction house.

Among the players, there are even those who give up the trials and return to participate in the auction in order to participate in the auction of such excellent items.

The existence of items in the tower was that important.

Whether you have good items or not determines whether you pass the trials or not, whether you live or die.

“Let’s go see the items Baekhyun wants first.”

“I can look around slowly….”

“No. You’ll probably change your mind as soon as you go inside.”

“Oh, you say so, so I’m looking forward to it.”

The place Seun took Baekhyun to was an auction house that sells monster materials.

It’s the place where the most items come out, but it’s the least popular.

That’s because most players are combat-type players, so it’s difficult to use the materials right away even if they buy them.

Moreover, the most common materials you can get while hunting are those material-type items.

To use the materials, you have to find a suitable craftsman, but the process of finding one is not easy, and the price is also enormous.

I’ve already told Go Chang-seok, so he’ll be here soon too.

Other people may not, but Baekhyun, Go Chang-seok, and the twin sisters will definitely be coming in and out of here often.

“……Now, next up is the horn of the ‘Saber Rhino’!”

As soon as we entered the material auction house, a new item auction was starting.

Saber Rhino.

It’s big and has thick skin, but above all, it was a fearsome monster with an impressive horn that easily ignored the opponent’s armor.

The horn is often used as a material for swords.

“I don’t think I need to explain this horn! Now, 50,000 gold! Next, 100,000! 150,000!”

The price rose rapidly until it reached a reasonable level.

It’s an item with a somewhat established market price, so it won’t go above the appropriate price, but it’s also rare for it to fall below the appropriate price.

“Oh, it looks pretty good. Instead of a horn, it looks like it could be transplanted into the arm like a nail and be useful enough.”

Baekhyun seemed to be interested, but only to that extent. It was just at a level where it would be nice to have, but not necessary.

In fact, the disappointment was subtly revealed on his face because the auction items did not meet his expectations.

Of course, Baekhyun did not participate in the auction, and the Saber Rhino’s horn was sold.

“It’s starting soon.”

“Yes?”

“Didn’t you see it before we came in? The ones written in gold.”

“Ah, that’s right. I was too distracted to look closely, but this item is….”

The Saber Rhino’s horn was cleared, and the next item came in.

As it was written in gold, it was a luxury item that couldn’t be compared to the Saber Rhino’s horn.

The moment that existence came in.

“S, Seun! That’s!”
