Battle Royale of the Sinners

Chapter 84

Chapter 84 – Auction – Part 2

Tong did not lie when he said that this whiskey was not easy to come by . With two magic cooking utensils he had, he could only make enough to fill one 100-liter-barrel per one day . Furthermore, the ingredients for the recipe were rare and expensive . For one barrel, it cost him 1,000 gold!

However, Tong had found the alternate way to get his hands on such rare beverage in this era by using one cheat .

***********************************

[Create Food] LV . 5 (35,450/160,000)

- Create a food product or raw food ingredient .

- 10,000kg of food can be created from one usage .

Skill Cost: 1 Lifespan

Skill Restriction:

- Host cannot create a food that host has never eaten before .

***********************************

At first, he did not know that he could make any beverage with this skill . One day when he was drunk after his beer session, he attempted to create a whiskey to fill his cup for a laugh . Because he thought that he had eaten a certain Thai food in the past which used a small amount of whiskey as an ingredient, it was worth a try .

Surprisingly, it worked!

After that day, he went crazy on dual-cultivating with Hua Shi as if he was a beast in season, which delighted the perverted girl . It eventually ended up as their common daily routine .

As a result, Tong continued to put more EXP into the [Create Food] skill and increased its level to 5, which would yield ten tons of any ingredient or food of his choice .

With a sacrifice of one year of his lifespan, he could fill up a hundred 100-liter-barrels with whiskey! Such hax was luxurious!

He planned to max out this skill as soon as possible . Once it reached a higher level, food problem would become a joke to him .

...

"Second warning that I can give you . Within these barrels, the taste will be different because of the containers, the brewing process, and the age of the whiskey . Therefore, each of them is unique of its kind! I will remind you again, what I had served you was part of the content of this barrel right beside me . Before we auction for the next barrel, I will let everyone has a sample cup again . "

The ears of the crowd perked up . The merchants licked their lips, and their eyes were filled with desire . Their interest in the drink increased .

"Now, I won’t waste your time anymore . We will start bidding for this barrel . The starting price will be 100 gold . "

Half of the audience sucked in cold breath . The starting bid was too high!

One common jar of wine only cost 10 coins, and twenty jars, which had an equal amount to a hundred-liter barrel, were only 200 coins, or one-fifth of a gold . Yet this whiskey was 500 times more expensive than the common wine!

The audience turned silent for 20 seconds . No one was willing to bid for the overpriced whiskey .

Despite the awkward atmosphere, Tong still smiled and waited in patience .

Then ...

"100 Gold!"

Te Langpu made the starting bid himself . He had drunk much more expensive beverage in his previous life . For something that is a little more expensive than the common goods, he did not mind about the price . He cared more about the rarity of the product .

Moreover, he felt nostalgia when he drank the sample cup . He wanted to buy one for himself .

’These fools don’t know how to properly spend money! They all collect a bunch of useless junks! If they want to buy something valuable, buy something that you can consume!’

Te Langpu mocked the confused crowd in his heart .

"300 gold!"

A voice came from the VIP section . One of the five merchant representatives raised the price while the other four sat back and relaxed . The five of them formed an alliance, and they agreed that they would share the content of the barrel with each other after they won the auction .

Te Langpu glanced at the five fat men . He opened his mouth and about to call out another bid, but a voice came from another VIP section .

"1,000 gold!"

Everyone turned around to look at the bidder . The crowd was shocked the moment they saw the bidder’s face .

"Isn’t that person ...?"

"T-They came too?"

"When have they arrived!? How come I didn’t know about this!?"

The well-informed merchants recognized the person immediately while the rest managed to guess the backer of the bidder, the Yuan family!

’Well, they sure got guts . ’

Tong was already aware that the Yuan family also participated in this auction, but Tian Feng sent a no-name servant to attend in his steed with a squad of bodyguards .

Even if he was just an ordinary servant, the man still looked impressive from the sight of onlookers .

Behind the leader of the representative, there was a middle-aged man who tried his best to act timid and pretended to be a servant . Tong recognized the person right away . Furthermore, his name in Tong’s radar map could not be falsified .

’You truly are bold, Feng Ji . Don’t you know that I can kill you at any moment in this city?’

That man was Feng Ji, the one who had plotted against Tong in the battle of Anping . However, business was business . Personal grudge could be settled later .

"One thousand gold from the Yuan family! Going once!"

Tong confirmed his bid and accelerated the auction process .

"Going twice!"

"1,500 gold!" Fat men alliance bid .

"2,000 gold!" Yuan family representative bid again .

"5,000 gold!!"

Te Langpu shouted which caused everybody to look at him in awe . For the sake of the unique drink, he was willing to go this far .

Te Langpu snorted . He did not care about this much money . If he felt like it, he could get over 100,000 taels of gold within a day with his [Midas Touch] skill .

***********************************

[Midas Touch] LV . MAX

- Turn every object that you touch into gold .

- The host can limit its power to a part of the host’s body .

- All part of the host body can turn any kind of attack into gold .

Skill Cost: 5 Lifespan per one second of activation .

Skill Restriction:

- Only Te Langpu can use this skill .

***********************************

It was a skill that was created based on the Greek myth . The skill worked the same way as Tong’s aura skills, which required an activation to be used . Te Langpu created this so he could have an easy time in the new life .

By touching a person with this skill, an adult with the weight of 70kg would be turned into 1,800 taels of gold in an instant . He could even turn a random shack in a slum and convert it into 10,000 gold on the spot!

With his kind of skill in his arsenal, he was willing to bid at any price for the thing he wanted .

Tong stared at Te Langpu to scan him from head to toes . Afterward, he marked the person on his radar map . Tong would have the spies and his Illuminati members research the background of Te Langpu later .

"5,000 gold . Going once! ... Going twice! ... Sold at 5,000 gold!! Congratulations!"

Te Langpu chuckled as he mocked the other bidders . They were too naïve to know the true value of this whiskey .

...

The other four barrels were all won by Te Langpu with the price of 5,000 gold each, which caused everyone to notice him . They finally realized that he was a prominent figure in Ye City .

The servant of the Yuan family took note of him . He whispered to a servant nearby to report this matter to Tian Feng .

The five fat men only glanced at Te Langpu, and then ignored him . The whiskey was just a side dish . They paid more attention to the main course, which was the soap recipe .

Then a scroll was brought out on the stage .

"The next item is what everyone is here for, the soap recipe!"

The crowd buzzed with noises and their eyes glittered with greed . The soap that had been circulated in the market was expensive enough to attract them . If they were to become one of the manufacturers of such an item, they would become rich in no time .

"In this recipe, it contains all information about the ingredients used, the process of the making, and the tools that are necessary for the manufacturing . As you know, the current soap market price is 40 taels of gold for one bar . It is not a cheap product at all . So owning this trade secret will definitely give you opportunities to get into contact with more nobles and wealthy family in the future . "

Tong poured oil into the fire to flame the excitement and desire from the audience further .

Everyone in the auction glared at Tong with greed and cursed him in their mind as they wanted Tong to start the auction of the item already . They had decided to go all-in with this item long before they had arrived here .

"The starting bid for this item is 10,000 gold . The bid increment minimum is also 10,000 gold . First bid, please . "
