Chapter 625 The Anonymous Auction

Riley took it and nodded.

“Got it.”

Red Bean turned to TartKing next. “Keep an eye on her for me, okay?”

TartKing nodded seriously.

PineappleBeer glanced between Riley and TartKing, her tone calm and flat. “You’re asking the wrong person.”

TartKing fell silent.

+5 Free Coins

Riley tucked the auction passes away, then turned to LoneWolf and RedBean. “Head back first. Tell Hanna we’re hitting the auction house and will be right back after it ends. Stay vigilant. We’re short on dungeon time, so once we’re fully set, we’re pushing straight into the deeper floors.”

RedBean nodded. “Be careful.”

The two groups split ways in the alley.

The anonymous auction house wasn’t on the main street. It occupied a plain gray building on the far side of the plaza.

There were no signs out front, only a single black lantern hanging by the door.

By the time Riley’s group showed up, a steady stream of people were filing inside. Everyone handed their entry pass to the NPC, then received a hooded gray cloak and a numbered bidding token

The cloaks covered most of their body shape, while the numbered tokens were used for placing bids.

Riley got number thirty-seven.

PineappleBeer got thirty-eight.

TartKing got thirty-nine.

Once they put on the gray cloaks, their identities became nearly impossible to pick out. The cloaks masked their gear auras and even subtly altered their voices. It wasn’t perfect concealment, but it was more than enough to stop random people from recognizing them at a glance.

The auction hall wasn’t huge, but it ran deep.

The seats sloped downward in a semicircle, surrounding a raised auction stage. A human NPC stood onstage with neat hair and a polished smile.

Dozens of cloaked figures filled the surrounding seats.

No one spoke a word.

The thick silence felt far more tense than the bustling streets outside.

Riley and her two teammates grabbed seats in the mid.back section and settled in.

Chapter 625 The Anonymous Auction

They’d missed the auction’s first half, but their short wait landed them right as the second half began.

+5 Free Coins

Before the auction resumed, a faint invisible force drifted through the hall, setting a cup of coffee down at every bidder’s seat.

Moments later, the auction officially began.

The auctioneer got straight to business with no extra fluff.

“First item: Mobile Icy Camp Heater Blueprint. Works for snowfields, cold blizzard zones, and outdoor encampments. Burns coal or magic crystal powder to output steady warmth. Covers a small camp and provides defensive protection equal to standard camp barriers. Starting bid: 800 Frost Tokens.”

TartKing’s eyes flickered with interest.

This blueprint was valuable in the snowfields.

Setting one up outside the main base was basically establishing a forward outpost. Paired with fixed teleportation arrays, it offered massive tactical benefits.

Hope Guild had a centralized base with stable power and fully temperature-controlled camp areas. The blueprint was useful, but not an urgent must-have for them right now.

Solo survivors saw it differently. Every extra outpost added an extra layer of safety.

Several bidders started raising the price.

Bidding went through several quick rounds before closing, finally selling for 2,300 Frost Tokens.

The second item was a full recipe for Cold Resistance Potions.

The third was ten Intermediate Repair Stones.

The fourth was a light runestone that could temporarily dispel small-scale Black Fog.

All these items fit the snowfield and dungeon theme. None felt out of place, yet none were high-priority items for Riley’s team.

Riley held back from bidding.

Her main goal was scouting out the market prices.

Intermediate repair stones were a little cheaper here than at outdoor blacksmiths, though stock was limited.

The Cold Resistance Potion recipe was bought for a high price by someone who was clearly based in a snowfield zone.

The light runestone sparked intense bidding, proving Black Fog hazards were a common threat across most zones.

When the seventh item came up, the auctioneer held up a small transparent vial.

It was filled with pale gray-blue powder.

“Seventh item: Tranquil Sleep Powder. Sprinkle this powder into the rune lamp slots of inn rooms to boost sleep recovery effects. Only functional in safe zones. Perfect for anyone suffering from heavy spirit depletion. Starting bid: 300 Frost Tokens.”

Riley almost lifted her bidding token.
