"Anna, get off the nanomorpher. I am not taking you on a long drive." Seeing that I wouldn"t even consider clubbing, Anna demanded I take her on a long drive, and she was very adamant about it.
"Wyatt, I didn"t want to do this, but you forced me." Anna grabbed me by my waist and flew to the sky. Stopping at a certain height, she added, " Either you take me on a long drive on your hoverbike, or I will take you on a long flight holding you like this. Choose!"
"Fine, but only this once. Don"t think this kind of persuasion will work on me twice." I had no choice but to cave. I started to resent myself for being too weak.
"Great!" Anna cheered, getting her way.
"Anna, since I agreed to your request, how about you tell me more about DemiG.o.d"s Charity Auction?" I didn"t ask Anna about the demiG.o.d charity auction because I knew if I asked Anna a favor, she would ask something unreasonable in return. I did not want to be in such a situation with Anna, so I avoided asking about the charity auction. Instead, I had my Super Brain spare a few bots to collect any and all information regarding the demiG.o.d charity auction. But now that I knew Anna could get her way with other means of persuasion, I directly asked her about the charity auction.
"Don"t make it sound like a transaction. It will no longer seem romantic. And know this, never hesitate, all you have to do is ask, I will help you with my all." Anna said some cringe stuff.
"..." I wanted to yell, "there was nothing romantic about what we were doing right now," but I chose not to. Though Anna"s words made me cringe, I felt sincerity behind them.
"DemiG.o.d Charity auction is where all the rich and powerful families, sects, cults, gather to show their wealth and a.s.sert their strength." Anna began to narrate the history of the demiG.o.d charity action as I drove the hoverbike aimlessly and went where the road took us. I had a Card Emperor in the pa.s.senger seat, so I had nothing to fear.
The first demiG.o.d charity auction was held to gather funds for the fight on the way beyond. As the war progressed, the demiG.o.d charity auction started to be held more frequently until it became a thing, and it would be held once in a while. And after the war, the charity auction was held to gather funds to help rebuild everything destroyed during the war and make living more comfortable for the people. Soon holding a demiG.o.d charity auction to address the problems in the society became a tradition, and since then, the demiG.o.d charity auction has been held once every year.
DemiG.o.d charity auction is where card apprentices compete in a bidding war over the card eggs. Card eggs are artificial eggs created by demiG.o.ds using an SSS-Rank Null Wood card ingredient to create the external sh.e.l.l of the Card egg, which encloses a card.
SSS-RANK Null Wood is a demiG.o.d realm wood with absolute anti-spy ability. The Null Wood anti-spy ability is unmatched. Not even a demiG.o.d can peek into the null wood cover to spy on whatever it is hiding. Therefore this Null Wood is used to create the eggsh.e.l.l of the Card eggs used in the charity auction.
The idea behind having Card eggs auctioned instead of actual cards is to add the addiction of gambling to the auction. After all, the demiG.o.d charity auction was created to gather as many donations as possible.
To make the auction more fun, the card eggs are divided into four tiers, Silver, golden, platinum, and diamond.
Silver Card egg - AA-rank to SSS- rank cards
SSS-Rank Card - 1% Chance
SS-Rank Card - 3% Chance
S-Rank Card - 6% Chance
AA-Rank Card - 90% Chance
Golden Card egg - AA-rank to SSS- rank cards
SSS-Rank Card - 3% Chance
SS-Rank Card - 6% Chance
S-Rank Card - 90% Chance
AA-Rank Card - 1% Chance
Platinum Card egg - AA-rank to SSS- rank cards
SSS-Rank Card - 6% Chance
SS-Rank Card - 90% Chance
S-Rank Card - 3% Chance
AA-Rank Card - 1% Chance
Diamond Card egg - AA-rank to SSS- rank cards
SSS-Rank Card - 90% Chance
SS-Rank Card - 6% Chance
S-Rank Card - 3% Chance
AA-Rank Card - 1% Chance
The cards hidden in the card eggs can be anything, a card ingredient or a card recipe or a skill card or an item card or a one-time use card. There is no telling which type or rank of card one might get.
Each tier of the Card egg had a different range of base prices. So that families with varying wealth can also partic.i.p.ate in the fun while doing some good for the society. Bidding wars are already fun by themselves. Mixing gambling"s addiction with it is another level of hype and adding in the vanity of doing good for society, when in reality, all you are doing is gambling is some next-level s.h.i.t. Whoever came up with this plan to loot the rich is a genius.
Thinking of all this, I couldn"t help but wonder if my soul pupils could peer through the Null Wood. If yes, the following year"s demiG.o.d charity auction will be a blast.
"There is another tire of eggs. This one has the highest base price of all the card eggs in the auction, Relic Card eggs." Anna saved the best for the last.
Relic Card egg - Relic or False Relic card
Relic Card - 1% Chance
False Relic Card - 9% Chance
Better luck next time - 90% chance
Hearing about the Relic cards, my head spun as my Soul pupils were a false relic. If a false relic can be this power, then the power of a relic would be worth starting a war. And this card egg tier was unique where one had a 90% chance of winning nothing, yet, it was set at the highest base price. This shows how much a relic is coveted and sought after.
