The bidding started at a rather high number, which surprised Alex quite a lot toward the start.
40 thousand Saint spirit stones.
In other words, enough spirit stones to last the machine for 40 days at the lowest possible setting. There was no way it was going to stay at 40 thousand spirit stones for any longer than a fraction of a second.
It didn't even take that long.
The moment Alex turned his head toward the bid counter, it flickered through numbers faster than mortal eyes could see.
Bids from 50,000 through 80,000 were essentially non-existent as everyone realized the big was going to cross 100 thousand without a doubt.
Alex waited for the numbers to slow down before he planned on bidding at all. When he saw it cross 100 thousand, his heart skipped a beat.
"Can you check how much money you have?" he asked the elders and checked his own. After adding each other's Spirit stones, minus the ones that they had to pay for next, the total came to be about 78 thousand.
