"Let"s check if there are some noteworthy stuff here . "
Pedro sat comfortably on the sofa as he scans his interface . The interface initially showed up a mixed-up list . Hence, Pedro arranged it according to rarity . The highest rarity was on top, while the lowest was on the bottom .
"Eh?"
Pedro was astounded as soon as he saw the first three items on the list . It was no other than the three skills he placed in the auction . He smirked as he checked if there was anyone who bid for the skill .
"Meh . . . As expected, none of them has that much money yet . "

Pedro shook his head as no one was still placing a bid for the three skills . He decided to scroll down slowly to check other stuff and make sure that no good stuff will escape his attention .
"Bronze weapon . . . bronze armor . . . bronze earing . . . Hah, these people . . . even selling needles? Who are you trying to fool? And for 50 silvers? come on man, find an embroider NPC . They"d give you needles, more or less!" He continued to scan the list for six minutes and was about to reach the end of the list .
"Hmm . . . Nothing worth the coins so far . . . I guess I"d go and bid for some weapons for them . Other than Sabrina, Everyone else is still with their beginner sword . " Pedro selected some weapons and placed a bid on it .
. . .
Somewhere in an isolated part of a village, three players were standing together .
"Yo~Young Master . . . I found a "G.o.dly skill" in the auction!" A teen male player was nervous as beads of sweat fall from his forehead .
"G.o.dly skill?" A well built young man wore a frown on his face .
"Yes . Though it is only Silver-rated, It can allow a player to transform into a wolf!"
"Transform? How much does it cost?"
"The~The bid required to surpa.s.s it is at . . . 1 Gold and 10 Silver coins already!"
"That high? Queis, can you supply me with that amount?"
"Mr . Crest, I can . . . but our limit is at 1 Gold and 70 Silver coins amounting to 100 thousand dollars . " The big-bodied man replied as he scans through his player interface .
"That would do . Transfer the money to Sqwazle . "
" . . . " The big-bodied man hesitated for a moment as he stared back at the young man .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt"Don"t worry . I"ll send the money to your account . 100 thousand dollars right?"
"Yes . Then, it"s a pleasure doing business with you, Mr . Crest . " Queis, The big-bodied man, sent the 1 Gold and 70 Silver coins to Sqwazle .
"I"ll first take my leave . Inform me if you are ever in need of in-game money again . We, Money Magic Guild, are one of the best in-game money farmers in the world . " Queis grinned and departed from Sqwazle and Crest .
"Make sure to win that item Sqwazle! We need that item to gain an advantage over other players . "
. . .
Since there were minutes left before the Main Auction, Pedro decided to check the skills he auctioned .

"What? more than 1 Gold? They probably ignored the rating of the skill and was blinded by the transformation effects of the skill . " Just as Pedro was still trying to calm himself after seeing the amount he might earn, Mathew sent Pedro a message .
. . .
[Player Killer Smile sent you a message!]
Killer Smile: Expert Brother! Three items are being fought over by all the closed beta players in the auction . Even some of my acquaintances contacted me to ask me if I can lend or sell them my coins . Considering this, I have a hunch that even the top gaming organizations and guilds were supporting closed beta players just to acquire those skills . Hence, I didn"t lend my money and decided to tell you about this first .
. . .
"Did I cause that much commotion?" He shook his head in disbelief . Then, he replied to Mathew .
. . .
Death: Let them have it . We"ll have a chance to get our hands with one of those in the future . For now, I suggest for everyone to bid for what you need, especially armors and equipment . Kindly, inform the other four .
Killer Smile: Aight, Expert Brother . :SaluteEmoji:
Death: Enjoy . :OkEmoji:
. . .
Minutes later the Players" auction has concluded . Pedro gained 4 Gold coins and 50 Silver coins amounting to 1 Gold coin and 50 Silver coins per skill . The weapons he bought for his Player Crew only cost him for 70 Silver coins . The weapons were sent directly to his inventory .
"I"ll give these to them later . " Pedro smiled as the System proceeds to the Main Auction .

The closed beta player erupted as the starting bid was already at 1 Gold coin .
"What a scam!"
"Pay to win! Literally, Pay to win!"
(Pay to win in this game is through paying "money farming" organizations or guild to farm coins . There was no real-money to in-game-money exchange available . )
"Curse those with the backings of companies and organizations!"
. . .
"Hahaha . I pity those who can only watch . " Pedro smirked as he started the bidding on the sword .
"Although it is just a typical gold-rated sword, it would not hurt me to spend 1 Gold coin . "

. . .
