Chapitre 29: Life Is Hard
As Ren was skimming his surroundings, a gorgeous mature lady walked toward the platform.
Everyone in the hall instantly stopped talking and turned their heads toward the mature lady.
"Miss Angeline Roach is as beautiful as ever."
"Damn right!"
"If only I were her husband, I would definitely smile in my sleep."
"No wonder her name is Angeline. It's because she is as beautiful as an angel."
"But to me, she is like a succubus queen because her body is so sexy."
"I can't deny that."
"Haha."
"I'm willing to lose ten years of my life if I can spend the night with her."
"Me too."
"Ten years? I'm even willing to sacrifice everything for her."
"What a simp! Haha."
"Shut up! You are also the same!"
"Haha."
Most men on the first floor praised Angeline when they saw her walking toward the platform.
Angeline was clad in a red robe.
Her long pink hair descended into her waist like a waterfall, and her light blue eyes were as beautiful as seawater.
Her oval face matched perfectly with her pointed nose, and her big breasts made her body look sexier.
Most men who saw her would fall in love with her immediately because she was in the category of ideal women in the eyes of men.
Only fools would reject her because it was hard to find a woman as perfect as her.
'Oh! She looks like Reese from my past life.'
Unlike the other men around him, Ren could control himself when he saw Angeline.
[She is an expert auctioneer, Host.]
'Yes. I can tell it.'
Ren agreed with his system.
Angeline was indeed an expert at creating the atmosphere.
Her glances and smiles even could make the price of the item go up exponentially. It could be said the atmosphere within the hall was kept at a climax with her charming smile.
Currently, Angeline was using her charming voice to describe the sword in her hands.
Under the numbing and clear sound of her voice, the item had its price increased at an exponential rate.
Every time the price was raised, she would send a charming smile to the person who just called out the latest price.
And that person would forget the pain of overpaying for the item when he saw her charming smile because her smile was like magic for men.
After auctioning the sword, Angeline spoke as she smiled, "Everyone, I'm sure you all will also be interested in the next item."
With a wave of her hand, the waiter quickly brought up a skill book that was placed in a beautiful wooden box.
"The name of this skill book is Glacial Strike. It's Sky class middle-level skill book." Angeline explained the Glacial Strike skill book to the audience.
The chatter erupted again.
All Warrior class awakeners in the hall were immediately interested in the skill book because it was the Sky class skill book.
"I will get that skill book for sure."
"Hmf! Do you think this place is yours? Speak with your money, not with your mouth."
"I will show you that I can get that skill book."
"I want that skill book too."
"What an amazing skill book! I would become more powerful if I could get that skill book."
"No matter what happens, I have to get that skill book."
One by one, Warrior class awakeners expressed their desire to get the skill book.
Some of them even stood up from their chairs because they could not suppress their desire to get the skill book.
[Host, are you going to bid as well?]
'Yes.'
Ren was also interested in the skill book.
Angeline was pleased by their reactions because, with this, the auction would be even more lively.
"The starting price of this skill is 300 gold coins, and each increment must be at least 10 gold coins." Angeline said as she smiled.
"350 gold coins." Right after her voice stopped, a green-haired mature man yelled out a price.
"370 gold coins." Another price came right after the first price had been called.
Ren, who was hearing the price, twitched his lips.
He had 323 gold coins, 250 silver coins and 2,800 copper coins in his space ring.
He thought he was rich.
But at that moment, he finally realized something.
He was not rich!
He was poor!
He even could not participate in the bid because the price of the skill book was already out of his capability.
'I did not know that 323 gold coins were nothing in this world.'
323 gold coins were a lot of money in his previous life.
He could buy a good car or a good house with 323 gold coins.
However, it was a different story in this world.
For awakeners, 323 gold coins were not a lot of money.
The price of the Sky class skill book was even more than that.
The money was only enough if they were not awakeners.
However, Ren was an awakener, so his needs were much greater than non-awakeners.
*Sigh…
Ren let out a deep sigh.
'If I had known something like this would happen, I would have slept in my room.'
He let out a sigh again.
[Host, how about we look for a gang? I'm sure there are several gangs in this city.]
The corner of his lips twitched.
'What are you talking about? I need to maintain my image or else, everyone will mock me when I rule this world in the future.'
He refused the idea instantly.
[Host, have you forgotten what you did after killing your enemy until now?]
Ren suddenly felt shy because he always looted his enemies right after killing them.
'Ehm! Forget it, forget it. Let's just go home now. It's meaningless to remain in this expensive place.'
He rose to his feet and walked out of the hall.
Angeline glanced at him for a second before finally smiling at the audience again.
----
Gentle Star Hotel, Ren's Room.
'What should I do to get more money?'
Ren, who was lying on the bed, looked at the ceiling.
He was still saddened by the fact that 323 gold coins was not a lot of money in his current world.
However, he stopped complaining and began to think of a way to get more money because complaining did not solve his problem.
'Wait!'
He sat up when he remembered something.
'Why don't I make potions and sell them? I'm sure I can earn a lot of money in a short time by selling potions.'
Happiness danced in his mind when he found a way to become rich.
'I will go to the forest tomorrow. I hope I can get many beast cores later.'
He shut his eyes and slept.
The moon set and the sun rose.
The next day at 07:00 am, Ren left the hotel and bought snacks for him to eat in the forest.
But when he was about to go to the forest, he saw many people gathered in front of a famous entertainment house.
Ren could not suppress the curiosity in his heart, so he walked toward the crowd.
'Let me see what's there.'
