Zephyr was impressed when he saw the exterior of the auction house.
If the Class Advancement Center appeared to be overwhelmingly imposing, then this auction house had to be described as luxurious and prosperous.
The land it took in White Tiger City is massive, with the size of four football fields. It also has a total of 156 floors. Various people with prominent backgrounds came to this auction house, like royalty, nobles, and many others.
The architectural style of the building was splendidly grand and opulent. The golden tiles were especially apt as the building followed a European architectural style. After they were pieced together to construct this palatial structure, it seemed like the building was the epitome of "a dazzling sight".
He could also see many people, either NPCs or players, nearby. Some players who had just arrived at White Tiger City stopped at the auction houses to prepare for their trials. However, Zephyr didn't admire the building for long. He wasn't too interested in something like that.
He immediately walked through the front door. After entering the main hall, a beautiful NPC came over and welcomed him. She wore a beautiful blue dress that was a bit revealing. If other people saw this view, they would surely drool with a perverted face. However, Zephyr wasn't interested at all. He didn't take notice of her appearance or attire.
"I'm sorry, but currently a VIP auction is on-going and we cannot allow commoners for a moment. The normal auction will start tomorrow, so please comeback again. "
She politely told Zephyr and Zephyr then looked at his title and said
"But I'm not a commoner. I'm supposed to be a baron, but not like I know what that means. "
"Oh my, please forgive me for my mistake. But as you can see... Before she could finish, she caught a glance at the badge of Zephyr on his chest, which widened her eyes.
'Heroes Badge!'
She immediately became even more polite and respectful to him. which made Zephyr narrow his eyes.
"Please forgive me for my incompetence for treating you poorly. I am willing to accept any punishment and will do anything you want. "
Zephyr didn't care about her and continued his purpose.
"Am I allowed to enter or not?"
She stared at Zephyr with wide eyes as she saw Zephyr didn't care about her attitude earlier, instead he wasn't interested in her.
"Of course, I can arrange for you to become a VIP at White Tiger's Auction House."
"Do whatever you want."
She then led Zephyr to the VIP section and asked if Zephyr would sell an item or buy it. Hearing that Zephyr intended to sell, she immediately arranged and bought all at 20% more than the standard price to be sold for tomorrow.
Zephyr didn't really care when they would sell it as all he wanted was to dispose of the useless items. The auction house was very large and items were categorized into 3 sections, such as common, VIP, and luxury.
The event venue for the common section was located on the 4th floor to the 30th floor. The VIP section starts from the 50th floor to the 100th floor. One must have a certain level of status to enter the VIP sections before being allowed to participate in the auction.
The Luxury Section was located from the 105th floor to the 150th floor. Only those who have reached the pinnacle of strength and extraordinary backgrounds can attend, such as royalty, big nobles and powerful individuals who have reached the pinnacle.
Zephyr arrived at the auction venue on the 54th floor. The venue was as large as a football field, and it was packed with people. All of these people were NPCs, and not a single player could be seen, unlike Zephyr. Also the status of these NPCs was noble and above.
After everyone was seated, a lady with very revealing clothes walked up to the stage, declaring the start of the auction. Some men were drooling as they were mesmerized by her erotic outfit.
Zephyr, on the other hand, wondered what he was doing here when he just wanted to sell and leave.
Sitting on a luxurious seat, Zephyr decided to watch and he would probably probably get some entertainment. Various items were presented but none caught Zephyr's attention as all were rare.
Although all of the items would drive the player insane when they saw them, they were all worthless to Zephyr.If Zephyr could buy it, he might consider it as he possessed the money.
After the rare items, epics followed, but none fitted the equipment of the swordsman, as most were from the magical class and the archer class.
Zephyr sighed as he was totally bored until an item was revealed that caught his interest.
"The following item being auctioned is a pet egg. It came from the nest of a magical beast, and the bid will start at 3 gold. "
Some NPCs' eyes widened upon hearing the word "magical beast," which caught Zephyr's interest. Magical beasts were more powerful than monsters, as they weren't exactly considered monsters.
Magical beasts were stronger than monsters, as they were phoenixes, dragons, and many more. Zephyr then inspected the egg on the stage.
[Random Pet Egg]
Rating: Uncommon
[It is unknown what will emerge. A common rabbit or a dragon might emerge. Everything depends on luck.]
The rating might only be uncommon, but with a lucky person, it could be legendary. Zephyr decided to bid for the egg as he was interested.
Within a moment, the bidding reached 20 gold, and some gritted their teeth, as 20 gold was already very expensive and some of them didn't want to miss the next items.
"Gone once, gone twice."
"21 Gold."
Before the egg was sold to a fat noble, Zephyr placed his bid, which the fat man who was being happy instantly made his heart sink.
"25 Gold."
He reluctantly bid, but Zephyr just casually bid again.
"26 Gold."
He gritted his teeth and attempted to bid for the last time.
"30 Gold."
"31 Gold."
He sighed and gave up as Zephyr always increased his bid with just 1 gold, which made him irritated.
"Is there no other bid?"
The auctioneer asked and continued.
"Going once, going twice, sold!"
"Congratulations to the one who bought the egg. May the blessing of light be with you."
The auctioneer presented the next item; it was a skill book, which attracted the onlookers.

"The bid will start at 25 gold."
Zephyr then heard some NPC saying cliche lines in an auction house.
"Since this is a precious item, then I won't be simple. I bid 30 gold. " A noble swordsman said.
"35 Gold."
"38 Gold."
The majority of the NPCs were melee class, hence the competition for the skill book was very intense. As if they were reaching their limit, Zephyr bid as if it was nothing.
"50 Gold."
All the NPCs were silent as they looked at Zephyr, who had a bored look on his face, as if attending the auction was troublesome, which was actually true.
50 gold can already be considered the price of a mansion, yet the young man bid 50 gold on a skill book casually. They could also tell that he possessed even more. Actually, Zephyr obtained 1000 gold when he killed a legendary boss, which was a streak of luck.
Not everyone can kill a boss like him, even if they had the chance to meet one, as defeating one is a totally different matter. They gave up, and Zephyr gained another powerful skill easily.
Having it in his hands, he casually learned it by making the skill book that was worth 50 gold disappear into thin air.
The lady who brought Zephyr was silent the whole time as she was even shocked by his wealth. She then smiled and murmured.
"As expected of someone who possessed the Badge of Heroes, they were definitely not normal."
Seeing that the auction ended, Zephyr then headed out to the entrance and was guided out respectfully by the lady. He then wondered what he would do next, as he totally didn't have any idea of what to do.
Upon arriving in a desolate place with no people, he then remembered about the egg and took it from his inventory.
Zephyr then tried to hatch it and did not care that even the weakest magical beast came out.
[Are you certain you'll hatch the egg?]
"Yes."
Zephyr calmly stated as he watched the egg cracked. A long cracked accompanied by a crackling sound appeared on the egg.
Then a paw with claws came out of the egg. Followed by emerging 9 tails and a head which peak out to look at Zephyr with wonder and curiosity

[You are the first to acquire a legendary pet. The pet ranking list has been unlocked. You have been awarded 100 karma and 1 additional pet slot.]
Zephyr watched the little cute fox with curiosity. He wasn't even a little bit fazed by having to randomly obtain a legendary pet. In truth, he didn't care about the ratings. Unlike other people who would shout from excitement upon obtaining a legendary pet.
He was only intrigued by its race as a certain anime flashed to his mind. Suddenly, the newborn little fellow lifted its head and looked towards Zephyr, who was staring at it.
Its eyes immediately started to tear up as it felt intense affection and joy upon seeing its master. Its body suddenly moved from the egg shell, jumping to Zephyr's head.
Its soft and delicate fur rubbed against him as if it was making its comfortable nest. It sounded like a little kitten.
Zephyr just thought this pet was weird as he thought newborns should not be able to open their eyes, and it also jumped to his head. Zephyr didn't linger anymore as this was a magical world and there was an endless possibility.
Zephyr then explored the White Tiger City along with his new partner as he had nothing to do left.
****
(Unknown POV)
Several people were challenging a giant bear as they were fighting for their lives. A certain voice was then heard.
"Tanks handle the agro properly! DPS damages the boss swiftly. Healers, heal the tanks whose HP is below half. "
They were currently raiding a rare boss for their class advancement. The class advancement trial was not solo, it was actually a team trial, unlike Zephyr, who didn't care about the other information.
At first, they tried to raid the Abyss trial only to be wiped out by the undead and poison. They repeated it until they reached the skeleton knight, but they reached a dead end as they couldn't deal sufficient damage to it.
They were even having a hard time dealing with the mobs as their levels were higher than theirs and they didn't possess the abnormal status resistance like Zephyr and were slowly being wiped out by poisons.
All of them couldn't believe Zephyr managed to complete that hell and confirmed that his skills were not a result of coincidence. All of them admired him as they gave up on the abyss trial and challenged the nightmare level trial.
At first they were having a hard time, but soon they were starting to adapt to the monsters and were almost nearing completion.
It was at this moment that one of the top guilds started their rise.
