Reborn into A Slash Game

Chapter 18 - Stolen Treasures

The reason why Suo Fei chose to travel to the Human territory was that among the four races that surrounded the Knuhl Forest, only the Humans had a friendly relationship with the Elves.

For example, the Beastkins upheld the belief that physical strength is God. Therefore, they held the Elves, who were known for their magic power, in contempt. The Elves naturally taught many of them a lesson. Even so, the Beastkins were still insanely optimistic about themselves and looked down on the Elves.

Trolls, on the other hand, wanted to befriend the Elves because of their specialness. Unfortunately, the Elves looked down on them.

As for the Dwarves, they were the most similar in character with the Beastkins. They didn’t revere power. Instead, they revere themselves. They might be small but they had a large temper. Their way of thinking is that the heaven may be great, the earth may be great, but they could not be as great as the Dwarves. The Dwarves who were the smallest and shortest among all races had the most self-confidence in the whole Yalance. Of course, don’t ever mention height with them. You will definitely regret it. Such a prideful race, they were on bad terms not only with the Elves, but also with all the other eight great races.

Compared with these weird races, the experienced and worldly-wise Humans were cuter. Although they had a bad habit of fearing the strong and bullying the weak, at least their way of thinking was normal.

Suo Fei’s first little shou, Aryan Mauer, was one of the City Lords of the Humans’ three major cities. Aryan had a way to enter and leave Valinor. So, Suo Fei was struck with an idea.

However, Aryan was one of the leaders of the Humans. How could it be easy for Suo Fei to see him? Fortunately, Suo Fei had a strategy in mind. He knew how to approach the City Lord.

Aryan Mauer was more than five hundred years old but in the game, he was a lively blond teenager who loved to laugh. His appearance and temperament were not outstanding out of the nine little shous, but his personality was very endearing.

Suo Fei always had a smile when he was pursuing him. It was a very healing plot.

Aryan looked like a teenager, so it was inevitable for him to be slightly childish. In his setting, his favorite hobby was taking care of pets. He liked all kinds of small, cute things; he especially had no resistance to furries.

As he thought of this, he scrutinised the little cub. I must say, the little cub’s appearance really hits Aryan’s moe point. It would seem a shame not to make good use of its cuteness.

Suo Fei grinned evilly. He held the little cub in his arms and rubbed its smooth and silky fur. Then, he felt reluctant. Such good fur... it’s a shame to give it away!

Well, I can use the second-best option.

Suo Fei thought of the gorgeous fur of the Ten-Coloured Cockatrice in his interspatial bag. It was shiny enough to blind people. It definitely can capture Aryan’s dorky and adorable heart!

Wait.... Suo Fei suddenly realised a problem.

These series of events, seemed to be for the person next to him.

He clearly remembered that Samael left the Knuhl Jungle and attended an auction in Mauer City to auction the treasures he had hunted in the Knuhl Forest. He met Aryan at the auction. Then little by little, he captured his first little shou who was playing hard to get.

But.... what should have been Samael’s prey had already been stored into his interspatial bag. It seems that the treasureless ultimate gong doesn’t have a reason to go to the auction.

Suo Fei’s conscience was greatly disturbed. He not only stole the Frostflame Beast, he even shamelessly accepted the Ten-Coloured Cockatrice. Although Samael did not complain, he couldn’t be so unmindful!

Then, he even wanted to capture his little shou. The little shou should obviously belong to the ultimate gong. Although he was not befuddled by lust, he needed Aryan so that he could go to Valinor. But just in case, I mean, just in case Aryan fell in love with him at first sight, oh my, how could he refuse, right?

But if that happened, he not only stole the ultimate gong’s treasures, but also his little shou.

—— How can you be so shameless!

After a fierce struggle, Suo Fei’s conscience gained the upper hand, so he yielded.

The treasures were already in his interspatial bag. How could he take it out? Moreover, the fur and bones were so large. Samael had nowhere to put it.

He had to reluctantly give up on pursuing the adorkable Aryan. Sigh, who would want to fight with their good brother? Nothing good would come out of monopolising everything.

.....

Alright, the truth is that he’s a face con! He preferred the other little shous who were remarkable beauties. If he pushed Aryan to Samael under the guise of doing him a favour, he can then approach the stunning beauties without any scruples later!

.....

After thinking it through, Suo Fei, who was synonymous with the words ‘shameless and immoral’, started scheming how to let Samael attend the auction and create an opportunity for Samael to top Aryan.

After mulling it over for a long time, Suo Fei looked at Samael and solemnly said, “I want to go to the auction in Mauer City.”

“Oh?”

When Samael turned to him, Suo Fei fixed his gaze on him. He was slightly embarrassed, but he continued, “Can you accompany me?”

The elf’s eyes were very light. Under the sun, those silver orbs were almost transparent that not even a ripple of emotion could be seen in his eyes. But now, his eyes were filled with anxiety.

Was he afraid of being rejected? Samael’s heart thumped. He responded in a deep voice, “Okay.”

Seeing him agree, Suo Fei was filled with joy. He even wanted to clap in admiration. Samael’s ultimate gong radar is really convenient. He already knew without being told that a little shou would appear at that place.Don’t worry, bro. I will help you get that little cutie!

Naturally, he swallowed these words and his reply came out stiff, “Thank you.”

Mauer City is one of the major cities of the human race. Needless to say, its prosperity was second to none in the whole Yalance. Although it was not as resplendent and dreamlike as Valinor, but it was just as rich.

It was just that the Elves were very conceited so they looked down on treasures. At most, they would only be interested with red jade.

Humans were different. They liked anything as long as it was valuable.

The Humans had a lot of exchange with the other races, therefore the whole city had a lot of personality. One could faintly see traces of all the races in their buildings.

So, don’t be surprised to find a thatched cottage next to a glorious palace in Mauer City. This only represented the unique taste of the Beastkins who regard themselves as bold, manly men.

The auction would be held at the town square of Mauer City, at Mauer City’s most beautiful building. Of course, this was only based on the aesthetic standards of the Humans.

They used everything splendid. Its sides were plated with silver, gold and etc, definitely with the purpose of blinding all kinds of delicate eyes. They even used titanium.

Suo Fei held the little cub and walked together with Samael. The both of them adjusted their appearance as they really stood out from the crowd.

Elves and demons were not rare in Mauer City. However, pureblood elves with silver hair and silver eyes as well as primeval demons with black hair and purple eyes were rare not only in Mauer City, but also in the entire Yalance.

To avoid stirring up troubles, it was necessary for them to put on a disguise.

They needed to pay some gold coins to enter the auction. Although Suo Fei was not sure of the prices in Yalance, that could not stop him from being extremely rich. He had chests filled with gold coins and whatnots in his interspatial bag.

He casually threw ten gold coins to the gatekeeper. The human gatekeeper’s eyes lit up and he complaisantly asked Suo Fei if they wanted a private room.

Suo Fei nodded in assent.

The gatekeeper summoned a young man to lead them through the special lane to enter the auction hall. His actions made Suo Fei miserably realise that he was being regarded as a squanderer. However, the gold coins he threw were like spilled water so he could only resist the impulse to take it back.

Suo Fei had only seen the auction hall through his computer screen before. As he entered the place, he marvelled its grandness. It gave him the illusion that he was visiting the Grand Hall of the People......

Ninth-grade ferocious beasts were rare in Yalance. Even if Suo Fei brought out the fur of the Ten-Coloured Cockatrice, he estimated that ninety percent of the people attending would not recognize it.

The fur of the Frostflame Beast however may be recognized. With that in mind, Suo Fei opted for the Ten-Coloured Cockatrice’s fur.

First, its fur was more colourful. Second, by the time someone actually recognized the ninth-grade ferocious beast’s fur, he and Samael would have already left. Thus, they would not get into any trouble.

Suo Fei was not so stupid that he would take out everything. He only snipped off a small piece from the corner, which was about the size of a handkerchief.

After entrusting it to the auctioneer, Suo Fei and Samael went into their private room.

In Suo Fei’s memory, there was nothing outstanding in this auction. As usual, there were some high-grade materials as well as some tamed low-grade ferocious beasts.

In the original plot, Samael Launay was the star of the auction. At first, the Samael Launay that Suo Fei played didn’t know what Aryan liked, but the system hinted that he could attract Aryan’s attention here. Therefore, Suo Fei put up everything that he had hunted in the Knuhl Forest for auction one after another. He had set off waves after waves before finally figuring out Aryan’s preferences amidst it all.

Since he already knew it beforehand, naturally he need not be so wasteful.

Suo Fei was bored to death as he waited, but not for long. The fur of the ferocious beast was brought out. It was even deliberately embellished by the auctioneer, packed in an exquisite, transparent case. It looked glamorous under the fluorescent light.

The ten colours rotated slowly, as if they had a life of their own. As soon as it appeared, it stunned everyone in the hall.

The bidding started. As Suo Fei predicted, the bid gradually rose but as it reached six hundred gold coins, most of the people conceded.

After all, this was just a piece of beast fur, and an unknown beast fur at that. If it’s only use was to be flashy, then the loss outweighs the gain.

After someone shouted eight hundred gold coins, a sky-high bid of two thousand gold coins was suddenly heard from a private room located at the topmost east corner.

Immediately, there were no more contenders.

Suo Fei smiled faintly, knowing that the fish had been hooked.

When he commissioned the fur for auction, it was so that he could have an ace up his sleeve. What could such a small piece of fur be used for? It could only serve as decoration at most. So, he purposely left a message to the auctioneer that he had more of this fur.

The auctioneer would naturally want to fawn over Aryan, hence he would pass on the news to him. By then, Suo Fei would not have to worry as Aryan would take the initiative to meet with him.

As expected, the auctioneer came to his private room after the auction. While delivering the two thousand gold coins, he attentively mentioned that an important person wanted to see him.

Suo Fei obviously would not refuse. He followed the auctioneer towards the topmost private room together with Samael and the little cub.

At the doorway of the private room, the auctioneer told Suo Fei, “Please wait for a moment.” Then, he went in by himself, most likely to ask further instructions.

After a while, the auctioneer came out and invited Suo Fei and Samael to enter.

When they entered the private room, both of them could see that it was the most luxurious private room in the auction house. It had a thick carpet, a dazzling chandelier, and a precious sofa made with soft leather, revealing a luxurious interior.

The young man in the center had blonde hair and green eyes. His eyes were curved into a smile, revealing a faint dimple on the corner of his mouth. It was the City Lord of Mauer, Aryan Mauer. However, there was another person to his right.

He had long silver hair and pointed ears. He had a cold expression as his silver eyes locked on to Suo Fei.

Suo Fei uttered in his heart, Who is this, if not Manzy Argoux?
