Chapter 298: A top-tier elixir!
All around the venue, murmurs of disapproval filled the air. Most attendees scoffed at the price tag. Some sneered at the small wooden box like it was an insult. Others simply turned away, waiting for the final item.
In their minds, only the final legendary item truly mattered. Nothing else, especially a stupid one-time consumable, was worth their attention.
Meanwhile, nestled comfortably in the velvet-draped shadows of the VIP section, Damon leaned back in his chair, a sly grin tugging at the corners of his lips. His crimson eyes glimmered beneath the anonymity-enchanting hood as he watched the madness unfold before him.
Of course, he was smiling. It was because this item was also his handiwork!
What no one in the Valemire City Auction House or the entire Earth Online server knew was the true origin of the so-called top-tier potion. There was no alchemy master behind it. No ancient temple.
Just Damon, killing time with a bored expression and a venom-based racial skill that he’d recently acquired. Venom Generation.
Damon had spent three idle hours generating poison in the most hilarious, most disgusting way possible: by spitting into ten vials. That’s right. The liquid inside that glowing bottle being hailed as a top-tier alchemy potion? 100% pure, Damon-grade venom spit.
He might have packaged the item as if it were produced by some top-grade alchemist, but the true content of the item was actually his... spit.
He hadn’t even expected the auction house to bite. But once they did? He wrapped it in a neat lie about a mysterious alchemist, gave it a shiny name, and sat back to enjoy the chaos.
As for whether it was over-priced? Hell no! It was not overpriced!
In fact, Damon thought it was a damn bargain. His venom wasn’t some low-tier paralytic sludge. This was apex-level poison, potent enough to melt dungeon bosses into goo. His spit should be one of the most deadly poisons currently available in the game!
On the stage, Davina raised her hand again. "Before you make any final judgments, allow me to show you the item firsthand." With careful hands, she opened the box. The crowd gasped. Inside sat a luminous glass vial, its contents swirling with a greenish, purple glow.
