Chapter 13: Beast Will Core

19 Mar 2321

Time 12:34

Location Sky Blossom City, Adventure Guild Association, Guild Association Mall.

Since I just made a buttload of money I decided to visit the auction section of the mall where all the good stuff is sold.

This part of the mall is more luxurious with all the fancy lighting and flamboyant decor, after all the people visiting here are big spenders or strong card apprentices who provide the auction house with all the rare materials. So, the mall has to keep up with its appearance.

But for some reason today the auction house seemed to be crowded, so I decided to call a guide,

[ please wait as your assigned sales representative will soon reach you]

[Expected wait time: 70seconds]

As I waited for Susan, I heard a commotion. The commotion had attracted a bunch of watermelon eating spectators.

Susan is the bob cut brunette who helped me yesterday every silver member of the guild association mall members gets assigned with a sales representative of choice. I chose Susan, she seemed professional enough.

“What do you mean you can’t put our item in tomorrow’s auction?”

“I am sorry sir the catalogue for tomorrow’s auction has already been published, we can’t add any more items. Now we are only expecting items for next week’s auction.”

“No! That won’t work for us, we need money urgently! Please see if you can somehow squeeze us in tomorrow’s auction.”

“I am sorry sir I can’t help you with this.”

A small mercenary group with 6 Bronze Card apprentice upon clearing an E rank dungeon boss got an E rank Common grade dungeon boss core with the beast will. But in the process, one of their members lost an arm.

Not to worry in this world recovery of a limb or reattachment of a limb is no big deal but it’s not cheap. No wonder they are in such a hurry.

“Good day sir, how may I help you today?”

Susan greeted me. Impeccable timing, how does she do it? I was impressed with the professionalism of the Guild association mall staffs.

“Susan, how much did you guys offer for the E rank beast will core?”

“Let me check sir.” checking her Iron grimoire Susan replied “345,000$, sir”

“So, cheap!” Cores with the beast will within them are very rare and can be used as ingredients to create origin cards. The Mall’s asking price was cheap, no wonder they wanted to auction the core.

“Sir even though cores containing beast will are rare ingredients used in the making of origin cards, they usually don’t sell because nobody is willing to buy them unless it matches the origin cards they are making.”

What Susan said made sense, though beast will core are rare if nobody needs them then they lose their value.

Walking near the booth I used my soul pupils on the beast will core to check what is the difference between a normal core and a core with the beast will within it?

Um, when seeing through the soul pupils a normal core contains a bright mass of light within it, as for the core with the beast will it also has a bright mass of light in it but this mass of light is in the shape of the beast the core belonged to.

In this case, the bright mass of light was shaped in the shape of a Bear, as the core belonged to the Abyssal Giant Bear. Looking at the curled up bear in the core a sudden idea for a new card flashed in my and I decided to buy the core.

But I did not walk to the card apprentice to talk business, I conveyed my intention to Susan and let the professional do the job. Susan wasn’t cheap, as the Mall charges a 5% brokerage charge for any deal brokered through it.

Turns out it wasn’t just me who showed their intention to buy the core. Many small time merchants wanted to make some profit off the desperation of the card apprentice.

So to get my hands on the beast will core I had to quote a sincere offer. Considering the market price of the beast will core and my need to satisfy my curiosity I quoted a million dollars but the brokerage fees would be shouldered by the other party.

I thought I would have to wait for the other party to make up their minds before answering but the other party readily agreed to my offer.

“Here’s your beast will core friend, hope you successfully create your origin card.”

“Thank you but I did not buy this core to create an origin card.”

“W-what?! then why did you quote such a high offer?”

“I need this card for a card recipe I came up with. So, I thought the core was worth the price.”

“Okay that’s good, that’s good. But aren’t you a little young to create your own card recipe?”

“No, I am not.”
