NPC into Player: Let's Wreck This Game

Chapter 107: Dark Camp Common Auction House

Bloom drooled there in his place while glancing and examining his new collection. "I can't find enough names for all of you now, so will just call you harem girls one to eight, alright?" he said as he decided to obtain much more of these gems and form his own harem girl army!

"Sure master, as you wish," they all replied in unison with their sweet voices. "Oh gosh, I swear all the troubles I had were all washed away now! if not for that annoying black fog coming each time you are summoned!" he muttered with extreme ecstasy as he was really feeling much content right now.

If only for these girls, these pretty dolls serving him, he wouldn't smash the game entirely, for fear of losing this precious collection of his.

But he was still pretty much annoyed with this dark smoke, which would reveal his ownership of these pieces of arts. "Do you know if there is a way to hide that smoke?" he casually asked, out of his desperate mood.

"Sure master," this time it was Muna who replied to him, making his heart even shudder from shock; a very pleasant shock to him. "Hurry, tell me the way," he hastily demanded with much urgency.

"There is a tool that is sold in the black market, if a master can have some accomplishments, he will receive attention from the great dark masters in this world, granting master access to that market."

Her reply lightened up his mind over a certain piece of info he totally ignored. "Do you mean perhaps the dark camp common auction house?" he asked with much anticipation, and her reply came swiftly by nodding first then speaking later. "This is considered the lowest tier of this market."

"Yes," he clenched his fists as he yelled out in excitation. The access to the common dark camp auction house was granted to him since his first rewards were received in the village. He smiled as he hurried to open the reward message again, reading the point related to this.

"Player has gained access to the dark camp common auction house. Player can view it through selecting it directly or through his secret class page."

"I never thought much of this," he muttered, confessing to himself about this silly mistake of his. He thought this was something worthless and never cared even about checking it out.

"Show me the dark camp common auction house," he said, with much anticipation.

The next moment, a window popped up in front of his face, resembling that of the auction house inside the village. This window contained less options than present in the village auction house.

"What are these options?" he muttered as he saw three glowing icons moving from the corner of the window to appear in a bigger version, blocking his sight.

"The guide, the contribution point centre, and the special auction rooms," he read them one by one. The first one was obviously like the manual he had about the village, and the next one was something he didn't hear about before.

As for the last icon, it was obviously a place that contained much higher valued items than the common room. "Let's see what this guide contains," he said while waiting for the icon that just flashed when he said that to show its content.

And the next moment he was faced with two options making him more puzzled.

"Do you want to view the common manual or the special manual?"

"Special manual of course."

"Special manual authorization requires paying five hundred contribution points, but currently you only have one hundred contribution points. Sorry, you can't view it now. you will view the common manual and if you have the points then come later to unlock the special manual."

"Why do I feel insulted?" Bloom said to himself as he was surprised to hear out such a direct and harsh remark about him being poor. "I have gold coins, can't I pay with it?" he asked, but like a child speaking amidst adults, his question wasn't answered as the next moment the common manual appeared.

"It's really a common manual!" he said after moments of reading what was written there, and only these moments were needed to finish reading everything written here.

"So here only contribution points matter, not anything else. No gold coins, no bartering of any goods of any kind except if the seller asked for it. and that's it, sigh!" he sighed before closing the useless manual and opened the next icon from the three. "Let's see how I can get some points of my own," he said as he examined the new window content.

This time he took longer than a few moments to check it out. The contribution point centre had more than one section. The first and top most one contained the current contribution points Bloom held and the reason for that.

"So as I completed four tasks so far I got one hundred points total, with each quest giving me twenty five points," he said with understanding now to the mechanism of which he would acquire these points.

"But like this even if I pushed myself against the wall, I would never gain much points," he shook his head in discontent, before turning towards the next section.

There he could exchange gold coins for contribution points. The current price for the exchange was pretty high, one contribution point for one thousand gold coins. "And it's a one way deal, as I can't exchange the points into coins, what a sneaky move," he smirked as he was amused by this brilliant touch of the developers.

If he even used all his gold, he wouldn't gain more than ten contribution points! It was nothing and only a deep pit for those desperate enough.

"So it's basically this way, forcing me to choose it, right?" he smiled helplessly as the third option here was about accepting missions from the dark masters in exchange for handsome contribution rewards.

"Show the mission list," he said, while waiting for the list to be loaded.

"Now we are speaking," his eyes shone brightly when he saw the long list of really rich rewards here.

The cheapest reward reached one thousand contribution points, while there were missions with over one hundred thousand contribution points. "Wow, I'm so poor right now for sure!" he bitterly laughed before checking the cheapest ten missions in the list.
