Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger! - Chapter 274

Chapter 274: White Clover Auction Commences
The proud sun hung high in the sky, signaling the start of yet another new day; a special day for those in a city called Blackburrow.

As the start of the White Clover Auction drew near, the participants swiftly made their preparations to ensure their safety, especially those who were planning to purchase a few top-tier auction items.

Naturally, Shye was one of these people.

He didn’t know where his 650,000 silver coins would take him since this was the first time he would attend an auction, however, he does believe that he could at least purchase one good top-tier item.

In his mind, he already concluded that this seemingly easy mandatory quest had to be some sort of preparation phase for an exponentially harder one.

Hence, he decided to prepare for the worst.

Hopefully, after he achieves the ruby rank, his improved self will be able to handle the next quest.

To increase his chances of doing so, he had to be successful in this auction.

“Hohoh, I look perfect today…” A middle-aged man with long black hair, average facial features, and lean physique muttered to himself as he appreciated how he looked in the mirror.

Normally, such an average face wouldn’t receive the “perfect” evaluation; however, for the auction, Shye indeed looked perfect as there were no traces of his original looks.

With his current disguise, he believed that he was safe.

‘Oh, crap, I almost forgot…’

Realizing that his voice didn’t match his appearance, Shye recalled the pill he purchased from Constantine Consumables for a discounted price of two thousand silver coins.

His connection with Drone proved to be useful as with a single request, the trusty manager immediately took out their hidden wares, reserved only for important partners like him.

Among the items was a voice-changing pill that would change one’s voice to that of a high-pitched middle-aged man—the extremely annoying type.

After consuming the pill, Shye tried speaking.

“20,000 silver coins!” Shye exclaimed, his voice annoyingly high-pitched—one that would attract a solid slap on the face. “Damn, this voice is just perfect!”

…

In the sky, fireworks exploded in the shape of clovers as most of the people from Blackburrow City converged in a single spacious location: The White Clover Auction House.

The expansive lobby at the building’s entrance seemed spacious at first glance.

However, with a steady influx of people arriving from various directions, it wouldn’t be long before the lobby became overcrowded.

‘Good thing I disguised myself today…’ Shye mused as he scanned his eyes over the people lining up in various queues. ‘Given the sheer number of people here, it’s almost certain that there are a few troublemakers among them.’

Walking over to the queue meant for super deluxe customers, Shye felt relieved.

Only about fifty individuals opted for the super deluxe passes, and despite arriving late, he found no issues with the auction house’s protocols and processes, which appeared to be well-executed.

In just approximately thirty minutes of waiting, it was already Shye’s turn.

“Hello, may I see your super deluxe pass?” One of the staff members assigned to assist him said with a welcoming smile.

“Oh, yes, here,” Shye replied, his annoying voice assaulting the eardrums of the staff member.

“Thank you, sir, please follow me.”

Following a swift verification process, Shye was escorted through a concealed underground entrance, leading him to commend the White Clover Auction House for its commitment to ensuring the safety of its clientele.

Shockingly, the entrance had countless small hallways, each leading to a room.

The auction house’s protocol ensured that no super deluxe/VIP client would enter at the same time, guaranteeing each customer’s privacy and safety.

Naturally, Shye was satisfied with such arrangements, enabling White Clover Auction House’s reputation to soar to the skies in his heart—respect, burgeoning within.

In just five short minutes, Shye arrived at the stairs which served as the only entrance and exit of his room.

“Here’s your assigned room, room number thirty-six. Once the auction is over, a staff member will hand your purchased items over and lead you out of the room. I hope you enjoy the auction, esteemed customer.” The staff member said, profoundly bowing towards Shye before leaving him.

Now alone, Shye scanned his eyes over the entire room.

Well, the room was a simple one, containing only a plush seat, a one-way glass window, and a small table with a mana-powered microphone on the right side of the seat.

“Sigh… one can’t be too picky,” Shye muttered as he settled into his seat. “Next time, I’ll definitely aim for the VIP experience.”

With nothing to do, Shye browsed the system, trying to search for a suitable epic talent to purchase among hundreds if not thousands of choices.

Regrettably, despite half an hour of searching, he couldn’t locate the talent he sought before the auction began.

“Welcome, esteemed guests, to The White Clover Auction! I am Liu Meixiu, your auctioneer for today’s event. With immense pleasure and excitement, we convene here to unveil a remarkable collection of rare and exquisite items, certain to captivate all who have graciously chosen to join us for this prestigious occasion. Without delay, I declare the commencement of The White Clover Auction!”

Auctioneer Liu Meixiu’s voice sounded, prompting heads to turn her way as she gracefully ascended the stage with a merry disposition.

She looked stunning.

Her heart-shaped face was perfectly complemented by twin buns, accentuating her long black hair.

Coupled with an athletic physique adorned with ample curves, including a generous bosom and perky buttocks, her slender neck added to her allure, prompting sinful thoughts in the minds of those who beheld her stunning appearance.

Her drop-dead gorgeous physical appearance was further enhanced by her skin-tight, black qipao dress adorned with white clover markings.

Even Shye couldn’t help but swallow upon witnessing her beauty.

Fortunately, before inappropriate thoughts took over the brains of the auction’s esteemed guests, Liu Meixiu’s soothing yet jolly voice once again resounded throughout the entire venue, snapping people out of their reverie.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present our first item for today, a drop-dead gorgeous slave!”
