FVN Chapter 179 Glorified Pet
Chapter 179 Glorified Pet
As the weight of James' words hit Lily, her excitement toward the turtle dropped to an all-time low.
'Is it really as useless as Sir James said?' Her face darkened.
Lily had wanted to win the Bloodline Appraising Turtle for her Big Brother Lucian, but if the turtle could not acquire the Skill, then what was the point of bidding and winning it?
"Even if the turtle is useless, Chef Lucian said he needed Magical Beasts. You should still bid for it." Fenwick reminded Lily after seeing her shoulders slumped.
"That's right, Big Brother Lucian needs Magical Beasts. And maybe... he might know how to unlock the turtle's Skill. He's the best. If anyone can unlock its Skill, it would be him!"
After she finished speaking, the others in the room were speechless by her confidence in Lucian.
"For the Esteemed Guests who are unaware, allow me to explain the Bloodline Grade System. It's as follows: Novice, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, and Mortal." Meng Ruo announced, and without giving the guests a chance to react, she continued, "Now, the Bloodline Appraising Turtle before you all is a Grade 1 Magical Beast with a Mortal Grade Bloodline.
Despite its less-than-pleasing reputation, its rarity and potential Skill cannot and should not be overlooked. Just imagine being the first person to unlock the Bloodline Appraising Skill. Just because others have failed, doesn't mean you will fail. With that said, the starting bid for this Magical Beast is 50 Low-Grade Mana Stones."
Following that, one after the other, four people's names, who had previously never bid, instantly appeared on the large screen.
50 Low-Grade Mana Stones - Saber-Toothed Wolf
51 Low-Grade Mana Stones - The Greatest Beast Tamer
52 Low-Grade Mana Stones - Master Quen
53 Low-Grade Mana Stones - Beast Tamer Ponyu
They all had wide and anxious smiles on their faces, which surprised and confused Lily. After what James had told her, she expected no one would bid for the Bloodline Appraising Turtle, but it seemed she was wrong. Despite the negative reactions many, if not all of the people in the venue had, there were still a few optimists among them.
"Be careful. The price of the Bloodline Appraising Turtle is already over the average price." Fenwick warned when he saw Lily typing on the Auction Tablet. "Also, it's not a given that they know how to unlock the Bloodline Appraising Turtle's Skill. Like Sir James said, they might just be trying their luck."
Lily nodded her head, "I understand! But I must win for my Big Brother Lucian! Even if the four bidders don't have a method, my Big Brother Lucian will definitely have one!"
After saying that with the utmost confidence, which left the people in the VVVIP Room speechless by her confidence, Lily pressed enter on the Auction Tablet.
Immediately after, the previous highest bid was replaced with the following:
101 Low-Grade Mana Stones - James Orchard
In an instant, the fingers of Saber-Toothed Wolf, The Greatest Beast Tamer, Master Quen, and Beast Tamer Ponyu froze inches away from their Auction Tablets.
Then, as if it had been orchestrated beforehand, every single pair of eyes darted up to the VVVIP Room.
"Sir James entered the bidding!"
"He hasn't bid since the first item... why now?"
"Could it be Sir James knows how to unlock the Bloodline Appraisal Skill?"
"I doubt that. Not even the Orchard Family should have a method; otherwise, it would have been public knowledge. He's probably trying his luck."
"I agree with you big sister. I'm also more willing to believe Sir James is trying his luck."
Meng Ruo, on the other hand, was smiling even more beautifully. 'Finally. With Sir James joining the bid, the price will definitely skyrocket.' After such a thought, she cleared her throat, and despite the commotion occurring on the first floor, the sound was heard by all of them.
The guests became silent and turned in Meng Ruo's direction.
