4.21% Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl? / Chapter 54: Auction P3

Capítulo 54: Auction P3

"Hnhnhnhn…" Nan Tian chuckled slightly when he saw Shiro's sword get sold for 500,000 USD.

With what he's read from her records, she scammed the Auction house for 450,000 USD and some spare materials.

With this, the auction house made a small profit of 50,000 USD.

'For a mute snow girl to be able to scam the Auction house. Amusing. I wonder if she's going to fight in the tug of war after the auction.' Nan Tian thought as he looked over in her direction.

Currently, Shiro had her lower face mask on while her eyes would dart around occasionally.

'She's on guard constantly. How vigilant.' Nan Tian thought with a smile.

Huan er was confused as to why Nan Tian started to chuckle and smile.

"Is there anything funny my- Nan Tian?" Huan er asked correcting herself.

"Nothing. Just finding it laughable how the auction house didn't manage to make as much as they expected." Nan Tian replied with a wave of his hand.

"Actually, do you think we can put something up for auction?" He asked, turning towards Huan er.

"I believe that is within the last segment of the auction. We should be able to if we give them the notice. Do you perhaps want to auction something?" Huan er asked.

"Mn. Give the people more incentive to try to fight for the rewards. Think of this as a taster for tomorrows event." Nan Tian said, pulling out an item from his inventory.

"But that's! My Lord! You cannot!" Huan er said hastily as she kneeled and cupped her hands.

What Nan Tian had just pulled out was a Potential Awakening Relic. The relic has three charges and each charge will awaken the potential of a single person.

Even though Nan Tian was one of the most important people in the sect, he was still only given 1 Potential Awakening Relic for his subordinates.

Each charge of the Potential Awakening Relic takes years to charge up so each one was priceless. Yet Nan Tian wanted to use the Relic in a tiny auction held in a tiny city? The decision baffled Huan er.

"I know it's important. But do you think I cannot recover the relic? This is just bait." Nan Tian chuckled as he gave her the relic. He wasn't worried that the relic would be used since it takes a full 12 hour period to use the relic.

Holding the relic, Huan er had a perplexed face as she still didn't understand. If he wanted a bait, wouldn't a low level weapon do the trick? Her lord had more than enough purple grade weapons in his inventory to the point that he could make a small hut with them.

Yet of all things, he chose to auction this relic?! What was his goal?

"Just auction it Huan er. If anything happens I'll take responsibility." Nan Tian waved his hand whilst looking towards Shiro.

'Show me what you can do, Snow Girl…' He thought with slight anticipation for what is about to happen.

He wanted to see how much she could do in a situation where it's the playing field for level 50's.

"…Understood." Huan er replied as she left the room.

Meanwhile, Shiro felt like she was about to fall asleep from the mediocre items that were on auction.

'When will the awakening stone be put on auction…' She thought, massaging her eyes a little.

"Are you tired Shiro?" Lyrica asked.

[No, just bored. These items aren't very helpful for me.] Shiro replied.

"Then do you want to sleep for a bit? I'll wake you up when it's time." Lyrica offered, hoping Shiro would sleep on her shoulder.

[No it's fine.] Shiro shook her head.

Lyrica could only sigh in slight regret.

It took over an hour before the main host of tonight's auction was brought to the front of the hall.

Shiro refocused her attention as she wanted to know who won the awakening stone.

"The next item is the Awakening Stone! An amazing item that will help awaken or enhance your attunements to a certain element! While it can only upgrade to a maximum of Tier 2 in attunement, you must remember that is within the ranges of a top tier D ranked adventurer!!" The Auctioneer shouted out.

"Bidding starts at 1 million credits!"

"1 million!"

"1.5 million!"

"1.55 million!"

[They're paying millions for something they won't even get at the end of the night.] Shiro typed out.

"Eh? How are you so sure that they won't be able to get it?" Lyrica asked surprised at how sure Shiro seemed.

[Just a hunch of mine.] Shiro smiled.

The bids were continuously being shouted out as Shiro made sure to memorise who shouted out the bids.

It was only when the bid hit the value of 6 million USD did they stop.

The winner of the auction was who Shiro realised to be one of the top 10 in the priority ranking.

"Rank 4, Lewis Sanders." Shiro muttered as she was about to stand up.

"Before all of you leave, I must inform you about a slight change in the auction tonight. Within the final batch of items, which are sold by adventurer's yourselves, we have a very special item! The item is called a Potential Awakening Relic! The Potential Awakening Relic is a rare artefact that is used by the factions fighting in the front lines! With a single use of this relic, you can awaken your inner potential! Your strength will outshine your peers with ease!"

"With such a rare item, I'd suggest you not to leave your seats just yet! We will be handing out the items for the winners when the auction ends after all. Whether you leave now or later wouldn't make a difference." The auctioneer said as Shiro sat back down.

She never expected a Potential Awakening Relic to be auctioned here as well. For a high-level item, it was such a waste for it to be auctioned in this low-level city.

'Who's so dumb to auction this?' Shiro thought as she looked around.

Looking up at the higher stands, Shiro narrowed her eyes as she made eye contact with a male on the third floor.

'The third floor is strictly for VIP's. Why is someone like him looking over here.' Shiro thought with a frown.

Nan Tian only smiled seeing Shiro look in his direction.

He chuckled before waving his hand slightly.

Shiro furrowed her brows and looked away.

[Lyrica. I suggest you go back to the dorm now.] Shiro typed with a frown.

"Is it because of the Potential Awakening Relic?"

[Yes. If there was going to be a fight before, now it will be a blood bath. Those level 50's will kill without a second thought for the relic.]

"Alright. You should come with me as well." Lyrica said but Shiro shook her head.

[This is better for me since they'll be preoccupied with the Potential Awakening Stone.] Shiro replied.

Since they'll be focused on the main item, there'll be less focus being placed on the Awakening Stone.

But this is a double-edged blade.

Since there are fewer people focusing on the stone, that also means less chaos. With less chaos, it will be harder to steal the item/

Not to mention, she'll have to try to take advantage of the moment the item is taken out of the inventory. There is only a small window of opportunity and if she misses it, there may not be another chance.

"Alright. But you must promise me to not try anything outside of your power ok?" Lyrica said as Shiro nodded.

Lyrica looked at Shiro for a moment before turning away and walked out of the auction house.

'So she told her friend to escape the moment she saw the relic huh? Nice choice.' Nan Tian thought with a smile.

"Huan er. What are the chances for a level 33 to steal an item in this type of situation?" Nan Tian asked.

"I do believe they have no chance." Huan er replied. Trying to steal anything under the eyes of over 30 level 50's was a suicidal move for any level 33 no matter how powerful they may be.

"Indeed. But, I'm quite curious as to how we may be proven wrong tonight." Nan Tian said as Huan er looked at him with shock.

"You don't mean the Ice Mage right?" She asked.

"She seems to want the Awakening Stone more than the Potential Awakening Relic. Good choice considering the tug of war for the relic. But a dangerous choice since she might have to go against 1 or 2 level 50's for the Awakening Stone." Nan Tian smiled.

"How come you're placing so much emphasis on her?" Huan er asked.

"She maybe 13 years old and level 33. But can't we also do the same to some of the younger sect members?"

'Yeah but have you seen a few week old level 33?' Nan Tian thought as he was sure the "Shino" that left the Dungeon was her.

Level 33 for a few weeks old was an insane feat that he couldn't believe happened. This showed her potential as a fighter and more so as a potential ally.

Even more so due to the fact that she was level 20 when she left the Dungeon and soloed the boss of her Dungeon.

"Indeed a 13-year-old reaching level 33 is an easy task in our sect. But do you think they can be the same in New York City? The Dungeons here are low levelled, the items don't go above blue grade and most of all, everything here is below level 50. Can you really tell me we can get someone to level 33 at the age of 13 with these conditions?" Nan Tian asked. Huan er, as a teammate, was someone you could trust. However, her ideology about the world outside of the sect was a little narrow. She believed the sect was number 1 and no one else could defeat them. 

A dangerous train of thought.

"…No I cannot." Huan er replied as she looked down.

"Then you should be giving praise instead. Don't be so petty with praise." Nan Tian said. Huan er nodded in response.

However, she still didn't see why Nan Tian had placed so much interest in a small adventurer from a small city. It simply didn't make sense.

Eventually, the bid for the relic reached an astounding 24 million USD before it was won by a level 50 warrior.

Narrowing her eyes, Shiro pulled her hood forward to cover her face along with her facemask.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 1st Phantom – Illusionary Phantom.

Her figure flickered as she disappeared from the auction hall.

Nan Tian widened his eyes slightly in surprise. In the slight moment she flickered; he had lost sight of her.

'Interesting. There wasn't any spike in mana so it must be a type of martial arts. A little bit similar to the martial arts of the Shadow Temple. Perhaps this was why the young master of the Shadow Temple wanted to keep his eyes on her.' Nan Tian thought as he too stood up.

"Huan er, come. We're going to watch this tug of war and see if there are any good seedlings for us to pick." Nan Tian said walking out of the booth.

Huan er followed quietly.

Standing unnoticed at the collection hall, Shiro waited for the winner of the Awakening Stone to arrive.

'There he is.' She thought as she kept her presence small. Lewis Sanders was a tall man with long brown hair. His face was average but his aura was powerful.

[Lewis LVL 46 – Earth Mage]

Grabbing the stone quickly, he left the building.

Shiro followed him and noticed 2 other people doing the same thing as her.

'So it's going to be a 4 way battle.' Shiro thought.

Shadow Cloak.

Black mist wrapped around her as it merged with her body.

Jumping up onto the roofs, her body was barely visible even under the moonlight.

Activating Disguise, she hid her status under question marks.

[??? LVL ??? - ???]

This combined with the fact that her appearance and outfit couldn't be seen properly made for a decent disguise.

Crouching down, she narrowed her eyes at the three who started to fight.

All three of them were mages with Lewis beings the second-highest level.

One of the assailants is a level 50 mage and the other was a level 44 mage. With them being a whole 10 levels or more above her, Shiro needed to make sure she did this carefully.

Capítulo 55: Auction P4

*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

Explosions rang out as Lewis blocked the attacks with an earth shield.

Flipping back slightly, he gritted his teeth with anger.

He had thought that he would be let off free since most of the level 50's were focused on the relic. Who knew a level 50 would still focus on his Awakening Stone.

However, he wasn't unfamiliar with these guys.

The level 50, Cain, was the 5th rank on the priority list, while the other level 44, Paul, was 6th.

"Lewis! Hand that stone over!" Cain shouted out as his hands lit aflame.

"In the simulation you suppressed us. But this is real life so do the right thing and hand it over!" Paul shouted out as well.

"Pui! Surpass me if you have the capabilities. If you don't, then don't bother." Lewis replied disdainfully.

Rock covered his body as it created a pseudo armour.

*KSH!

Lightning struck towards Lewis while he slammed his palms downwards.

A pillar of earth blocked the lightning, diverting the force into the ground.

"ARG!" Lewis cried out in pain as Cain had managed to land a fireball on his back.

Pivoting on his leg, Lewis caused several rock arms to shoot upwards and grab Cain by the leg.

*BANG!

The arm slammed Cain into the ground with as much force as it could muster.

Paul gathered lightning into his hand, slowly forming it into a dense lightning spear.

Pulling back his arm, he threw the spear towards Lewis.

"URAHHH!!!" Lewis shouted out as the earth wrapped around him.

Gritting his teeth, Lewis resisted the pain and glared towards Paul.

However, the moment he turned his back to Cain, Cain controlled the fire to form a giant hammer.

"HA!" He shouted out as the hammer slammed into the back of Lewis' armour.

*BOOM!!!

His body was launched forwards, causing him to roll for several meters.

"F*CK OFF!" Lewis shouted out just as his mana started to spike upwards.

A huge rock golem was formed next to Lewis.

Quickly climbing up the rock golem, Lewis controlled the golem to punch towards Paul.

He wanted to get rid of the weakest one of the playing field.

"I'm not that easy!" Paul shouted out.

Lightning twisted around his palms while he pulled his palms apart. Sparks jumped from one hand to another as it slowly gathered in the centre.

*BOOM!!!

The ball of lightning shot forwards, smashing a hole through the golem before dispersing into mana.

Paul had to make sure the lightning ball didn't cause additional damage as he would be in trouble otherwise. While they could fight the winners of the bids, they couldn't involve citizens. If they did, a squadron of level 50 patrolmen would hunt them down.

Lewis quickly regenerated the golem back to full HP.

Looking around with urgency, he narrowed his eyes on the skyscrapers.

Raising his hands, rock spikes erupted from the ground causing Paul and Cain to dodge in a panic.

*BAM!

The golem crashed heavily against the skyscraper as Lewis controlled it to climb higher.

Shiro, who was hiding by the roof of the buildings, frowned slightly when she saw where Lewis was running away to.

'Annoying.' Shiro thought.

Crouching down, Shiro put strength into her legs.

Yin Style Phantom Art: 1st Phantom + 2nd Phantom.

Her body flickered every so often as she dashed after Lewis.

Jumping up, she used her passive float combined with her phantom arts to scale the building quite easily.

"Pah! Ha… ha… ha.." Lewis huffed with fatigue.

Shaking his head, he got rid of the slight headache.

This was a problem with earth element mages. While their defence was strong, it took more MP the more damage that stacked up. Holding against the bombardment of a level 50 and 44 wasn't easy at all.

Shiro hid in the shadows as she waited for the level 50 and 44 to catch up.

*BOOM BOOM!

Two figures landed heavily on the roof.

"Lewis, you can't run anymore. Just hand the stone over!" Cain shouted out.

"You know what? Take it. Fight amongst yourself for it!" Lewis retorted.

'While they're distracted, I should hit them off the roof and run.' He thought while pulling out the stone.

"Here!" He shouted as he threw the stone.

Pulling back his hands, he quickly made 2 stone spears.

'Chance!' Shiro thought.

Crouching down quickly, she dashed forwards.

Yin Style Phantom Art: 2nd Phantom + Faded Snow Movement.

Snow erupted outwards as it pushed the three mages away.

"SH*T ANOTHER MAGE!" Cain shouted out as he shielded his eyes.

Shiro managed to grab hold of the stone and store it in her inventory.

'Crap! It was a fake!' Shiro thought as she saw that it was just a normal stone.

*BZZZ!!

She suddenly heard lightning behind her and quickly reacted accordingly.

Twisting her body, she slammed her palms into the ground and activated her skills.

Icy Touch + Tier 2 Ice Magic.

*BOOM!!!!!

The lightning missed her narrowly as the aftershock sent her back.

"Kuah!" Shiro coughed slightly from the force.

"Hand over the stone girl!" Paul shouted.

Flaring her mana, Shiro didn't say anything as ice erupted outwards.

"Tsk! When did this city get such a strong Ice user?!" Cain clicked his tongue as the ice pushed him back once more.

They didn't have the leisure to inspect her right now since a pause could be fatal.

Shiro quickly turned towards Lewis who was dashing away.

Narrowing her eyes, she flicked her wrist and an ice ramp was constructed.

Dashing towards him, she left the other two on the roof.

"Follow!" Paul shouted as lightning flared on his body.

Cain scoffed as he erupted with flames.

Three lights chased after the earth golem through the skies of New York City.

However, most didn't focus on that as another battle was being raged for the relic.

Nan Tian stood on top of a skyscraper and watched everything calmly.

So far everything was within his expectations.

'It seems like her status as a monster has allowed her to fight the level 50 and level 44 on pretty even ground.' Nan Tian thought.

"Huan er, do you want to try fight for the relic as well? Compare yourself to the other level 50's." Nan Tian asked as he looked towards her.

"I'm fine. My speciality lies in hacking and not combat. Maybe if I have my robots with me I might give it a try."

"Alright." Nan Tian replied.

Looking back towards Shiro's direction, he saw her chase after the golem with quite some vigour.

'Seems like she wasn't able to get the stone within one try. Probably got tricked.' Nan Tian thought as he started to float.

"I'll be right back." Nan Tian said before his body flashed away.

Huan er only sighed in frustration. The original goal for them to be here was to look for traces of a ritual being made. Yet now not only did they go off on a tangent, but Nan Tian seemed to be placing a little too much focus on a random girl he saw.

Huan er only pulled up her tablet and hacked all the camera's around the city.

Focusing on the cameras near Shiro's fight, she wanted to see just what was so special about her.

Shiro made an ice spear in her hand as she twisted her body on the ice.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 3rd Phantom – Counter Weight Phantom.

Throwing the spear with as much force as she could, Shiro then crouched low and increased her speed towards the golem.

*BOOM!!!!

The moment the spear touched the golem, the golem was frozen over instantly.

"AHH!!" Lewis was thrown off the golem as he landed heavily across the ground.

"URAK!" Shiro stepped heavily on his chest.

Reaching out her hand, she gestured for him to give her the stone.

Feeling the strength increase, Lewis knew he would be killed if he didn't give her it. 

"Here take it!" He said handing her the real stone.

Making sure it was the real stone, Shiro quickly stored it in her inventory.

Back flipping, she avoided two strikes from the level 50 and 44.

Looking around, Shiro tried to think of an exit plan.

However, Cain didn't let her as he started to attack with lethal force.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Fire spears, bombs, chains and cages erupted around Shiro.

Yin Style Phantom Arts: 1st Phantom + 2nd Phantom + Faded Snow Movement.

Her body flickered and escaped the bombardment with relative ease.

Landing on the wall of the building, Shiro's eyes glowed with a neon blue as her killing intent increased.

A blizzard started to pick up while the surrounding area was being completely frozen over.

'Since you want to kill this miss, then it means you're ready to be killed yourself.' Shiro thought as her body faded into the blizzard. 

Seeing that this was beyond their league, both Paul and Lewis ran away from the scene.

Only Cain remained as he needed the stone to change his life. He needed it to awaken his second element so he could advance with his class.

Slamming his palms down, fire erupted outwards. Easily overpowering the blizzard.

Shiro was a small distance behind him with her dagger ready. It wasn't a NanoTech dagger since she could feel a constant gaze on her. Therefore she settled with one of the daggers she kept spare from the Yeti Dungeon.

Floating slightly above the ground, Shiro made sure she didn't make a sound.

Creeping up to Cain, Shiro reached out her hand slowly.

Since she was using her 1st Phantom, Faded Snow Movement and Shadow Cloak to keep her presence at a minimum, Cain didn't notice her.

The moment her arms were almost around his neck, she snapped to action.

*PUSHI!

The dagger slit across Cain's neck as her other hand dug deep. Feeling the contact with the spine, Shiro twisted it and broke it in the process.

Increasing the effectiveness of her Icy Touch, Shiro froze Cain from the inside out.

[Beginner Monster (1/10 Humans Killed)]

Seeing the counter go up by 1, she knew she had killed him.

Her level increased by a whole level with just one kill.

With that kill, not only did she get Cain's entire inventory, but she also managed to break through 100k in MP.

Suddenly feeling the source of the gaze come closer, Shiro flicked her wrist and sent a dagger flying towards it.

"Ai. So feisty." Nan Tian said as he caught the dagger between his fingers.

Shiro's breath halted for a second as she saw him.

[Nan Tian LVL??? - ???]

'Sh*t! Why would someone of his level be in this city.' Shiro thought as sweat dripped down her forehead. 

"I have to say little snow, nice work." Nan Tian said as Shiro kept a neutral face.

However, her mind was in turmoil hearing what he said.

'Little snow? Who the hell is little snow?!'

"Let me introduce myself. Surname Li, Given name Nan Tian. I am Li Nan Tian. And I have to say little snow, for a snow girl like you to be hidden in this city isn't easy ah." Nan Tian chuckled slightly as he landed in front of her.

Shiro backed off slightly as she couldn't afford to provoke him.

"Ai don't be so guarded." Nan Tian smiled as he gently threw the dagger back to her.

[What's your goal. Since you clearly know what I am, so why aren't you trying to kill me?] Shiro typed out.

"Seems like your verbal functions aren't developed yet. Well just think of me having a mild interest in you. I want to see what a snow girl like you can do while blending into human society." Nan Tian said as he walked around Shiro.

"Would you rather me call you little snow or Xiao Xue? One is the English version and the other is Chinese. You choose."

[Don't call me either. We aren't close.]

"But we will be. I want to recruit you into my branch of the sect." Nan Tian gestured at her.

[No thanks. I don't want to join a faction.]

"This isn't a faction but a sect. A hidden sect to be precise."

[Same thing.]

"Ai so difficult. Hahaha, well just try your best in the faction recruitment event. I'll be watching~" Nan Tian waved before disappearing in front of Shiro.

Making sure that he was gone, Shiro sat down heavily.

She had a frown on her face as she didn't expect someone this high levelled to be in the city.

"Tsk. Who the hell gives someone a nickname before they even meet. Right little Yin?" Shiro muttered as Yin popped her head out of the hood.

However, her mind kept on giving her a nagging feeling like she knew him.

Shiro frowned before sighing heavily.

Standing up, she returned to the dorms.
