“Ann is right, we don’t have enough time on our hands. Let us talk business first,” I knew Ann’s intentions as well as the thoughts of the others in the room. Neither of them was being subtle about it. However, I did not want to waste time anymore and get back to comprehending my second rule meaning of the blood rule as soon as possible. So that I can finally break through to the Card Master realm. 

“Okay,” Ann nodded and began to explain the consequences of my offering to give away VR cards to those who attend the auction, “Earlier, we had estimated that about 2000-3000 people would be attending the auction but now that you have promised to give away a free VR card to those who will attend the auction, we have no idea how many people will be attending the auction.

The greed of a free card, especially a good card, is too big. Since yesterday night about a million locals have lined up outside the auction house to attend the auction. People from the nearby cities and around the world have been coming to the city since your announcement. We think more people will come before the auction starts. 

The auction can only hold about five hundred thousand people with the space expansion array working on full throttle. Right now we don’t know what to do. Most importantly do you even have a million-plus cards to give away to the people?” 

“Doesn’t the auction house have any registration or ticket system?” Agatha asked Ann. 

“No, the auction hall can hold five hundred thousand at max and usually it’s a huge deal if ten thousand people attend the monthly auction. So we removed the ticket function so that tourists and locals can attend the auction and make up the numbers. And before we cannot make a ticket system now because the crowd attracted by the greed of a free card will just disperse and scare off the people who wanted to attend the auction,” Ann explained her dilemma. 

“Here, take these 3 million VR-Slime cards. Hand them to everyone who makes it to attend the auction before its conclusion—” Before I could finish, after taking the storage cards containing the 3 million VR-Slime cards that I handed to her Ann interrupted me saying, “Putting aside the fact that you have created 3 million VR cards, you want me to give away these cards to card apprentice that just show up for the auction, even if they do not plan on attending it?” 

Ann wasn’t the only one with questions, others were too, seeing that I declared, “First, let me finish then I will listen to your concerns about my plan, makes sense?” 

The girls nodded in agreement in unison, then I began with my explanation, ” First off, I have created 10 million VR-Slime cards. Don’t ask where I got the ingredients for them as I will not give away my supplier. 

Secondly, yes, if possible I want to give away all ten million VR-Slime cards to ten million card apprentices for free. 

Don’t give me that look, I have not gone insane, trust me I have a plan. You will learn of it once you guys start to explore the VR-Universe. 

Lastly, about the auction, let the first 450,000 people into the auction, and save the remaining seats for friends and guests from other regions.

As for the remaining people, give them a free VR-Slime card and send them packing informing them that the auction house is at full capacity. 

Ann, what I am going to say next will be unethical but if you want to promote your monthly auction to another level this will help you achieve it. I will tell you about it if you are open to it.” 

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm “I have a lot of concerns about this but for now I will trust you and along with it. But before I decide about the auction promotion can you tell me how unethical your promotion idea is?” Ann was shocked to learn that the boy had created ten million F-rank slime cards in two days. She was not surprised about how little time it took for him but about the ingredients he needed to create so many F-rank cards. However, Ann suppressed all her concerns and prioritized the matter at hand the success of the auction especially when so many eyes were watching. 

Listening to the boy say he wanted to give away all ten million F-Rank VR-Slime cards for free Agatha’s heart raced. The VR-Slime card was worth a fortune even if it was an F-rank card because of its soul energy digestion effect. If she were to hoard a few hundred thousand of these free VR-Slime cards she would no longer have to worry about having enough funds for her retirement. 

“Highly unethical, but it is guaranteed to give results regardless of whether we get caught or not,” I responded to Ann frankly. Though Ann looked like Anna they were polar opposites in nature. So, I knew Ann would not be open to unethical things so before I pitched the idea and became the bad guy I asked Ann if she would consider implementing my plan.

“If it helps my land and people, I don’t mind playing rouge,” Ann said resolutely. 

“Good,” I nodded seeing Ann’s resolve in her eyes, and illustrated, “Get a few highly loyal card emperors and semi-demigods to attend the auction. To bid for the cards that nobody plans to buy and increase the bids of good cards. 

Right now the whole world is paying attention to this auction so I think you should use this opportunity to show how successful the southern capitals monthly auction is. I don’t think I need to explain what you stand to gain from doing this. If you play this right, the average number of auction attendees of 2000-3000 will easily increase to 200,000-300,000 at least for the next few months.”
