The auction house was one of the few places where it was possible to obtain items that were difficult to find on the Dokkaebi Bag or General Exchange. Prophet Anna Croft had a few items to obtain here.
这家拍卖行是少数几个可以获得在Dokkaebi袋子或综合交易所难以找到的物品的地方之一。先知安娜·克罗夫特有几样东西要在这里取得。
Anna Croft spoke the constellations of Olympus behind her. “The guards aren’t a problem?”
安娜·克罗夫特在身后说着奥林匹斯山的星座:“卫兵不是问题吗?”
[Of course. Originally, this auction house is under the legal authority of our Olympus. In this Context of the Constellation, no one can touch you.] “Thank you.” Anna Croft bowed and the shadow of the constellation protecting her disappeared. Anna Croft spoke towards Selena Kim. “Then let’s go in.”
当然。最初，这家拍卖行是在我们的奥林巴斯的法律授权之下。在这个星座的背景下，没有人可以碰你“谢谢。”安娜·克罗夫特鞠了一躬，保护她的星座的影子消失了。安娜·克罗夫特对赛琳娜·金说。“那我们进去吧。”
“…Yes.” Selena Kim replied in a dark voice.
“......是的。”塞莱娜·金用阴沉的声音回答。
As they moved through the corridor of the auction house, Anna Croft glanced at Selena Kim’s expression. Selena Kim, who was always smiling and kind to everyone, wasn’t smiling anymore.
当她们穿过拍卖行的走廊时，安娜·克罗夫特瞥了一眼塞莱娜·金姆的表情。赛琳娜·金总是面带微笑，对每个人都很友好，现在她不再微笑了。
“Selena.”
“塞莱娜。”
“Yes.”
“是的。”
In fact, Anna Croft knew when this change happened. The Gourmet Association. It was after meeting the Demon King of Salvation.
事实上，安娜·克罗夫特知道这种变化是什么时候发生的。美食家协会。那是在见到救世主魔王之后。
“…It’s nothing.”
“没什么。”
Selena Kim lowered her head and looked forward again. Anna Croft felt strangely alone, even though she had ‘predicted’ it to some extent. She couldn’t properly cope with some things even if she knew the future. This was particularly true for human emotions.
塞莱娜·金姆低下头，又向前看了看。奇怪的是，安娜·克罗夫特感到很孤独，尽管她在某种程度上“预测到”了这一点。即使她知道未来，她也不能很好地处理一些事情。对于人类的情感来说尤其如此。
[The 8611th Constellation Auction will begin!]
第8611届星座拍卖会即将开始
However, now wasn’t the time to be focused on such things. Anna Croft saw the constellations and incarnations filling the seats and reaffirmed her commitment. There was no one with an easy ‘status’ no matter where she looked. They were all deadly enemies.
然而，现在不是关注这些事情的时候。安娜·克罗夫特看到了座位上的星座和化身，重申了她的承诺。无论她看向哪里，都没有一个人能够轻松地获得“地位”。他们都是死敌。
[The first auction item!]
(第一件拍卖品!)
A senior dokkaebi stood at the podium of the auction. Anna Croft and Selena Kim took the seats they preempted in advance and participated in the auction. Several items were sold in an instant and Anna Croft bought some of them.
一位年长的多卡比站在拍卖会的讲台上。安娜·克罗夫特和赛琳娜·金抢占了他们提前预定的座位，并参加了拍卖。有几样东西一下子就卖出去了，安娜·克罗夫特也买了一些。
‘A manticore’s teeth.’
狮蝎怪的牙齿
‘Scales of an Ancient Dragon.’
古龙鳞片
‘Old Yeti’s leather.’
老雪人的皮革
Her main purchases were rare material items. All her items were identified through Future Sight and there were no errors on the list.
她主要购买稀有物品。她所有的物品都是通过未来视线识别的，清单上没有任何错误。
‘I need these items to make a giant soldier.’
我需要这些东西来制作一个巨大的士兵
Some incarnations participated in the bidding competition but she already confirmed their highest bid price through Future Sight and there was no problem winning the items. Anna Croft finished checking the list and stood up on the spot. “It is roughly over. Then let’s…”
一些化身参加了竞标，但她已经通过FutureSight确认了他们的最高竞标价格，赢得项目没有问题。安娜·克罗夫特检查完名单，当场站了起来。“大致结束了。那我们......”
[Now, we have a special product today!]
(现在，我们有一个特殊的产品今天!)
Anna Croft turned at the voice that came from the stage. Selena Kim saw Anna Croft’s reaction and asked, “What’s wrong?”
安娜·克洛夫特听到从舞台上传来的声音，转过身来。赛琳娜·金看到了安娜·克罗夫特的反应，问道:“怎么了?”
“It’s nothing.”
“没什么。”
Anna Croft stared at the auction house with a stiff expression.
安娜·克罗夫特呆呆地望着拍卖行。
[This is an item called the ‘Old to New Toad’!] [Haha, isn’t it cute? Since this item is a star relic…] -I’ll give a new house for an hour house. [It really knows how to talk.
这是一件叫做“从旧到新的蟾蜍”的东西哈哈，是不是很可爱？既然这件东西是星级的遗物......]-我会给一个小时的房子换一个新房子。它真的很会说话。
The auction product hasn’t finished the appraisal yet but it is definitely of immense value―] ‘…There was no such item in the prophecy?’
这件拍卖品还没有完成评估，但它绝对价值不菲——“......预言里没有这样的东西吗?”
The auction list had been confirmed through Future Sight. However, no such item had been seen anywhere in the short film of the future. There was the intervention of a variable that shook Future Sight. Anna Croft glanced at the constellations of Olympus. Some constellations nodded as if to reassure her.
拍卖名单已通过FutureSight确认。然而，在未来的短片中却没有看到这样的东西。一个变量的介入震动了未来的视野。安娜·克罗夫特瞥了一眼奥林匹斯山上的星座。一些星座点了点头，似乎要安慰她。
She didn’t hesitate to case the Great Demon’s Eye towards the stage. The eye glowed with a red light. After a few moments, the hidden features of the Old to New Toad were seen in Anna Croft’s retinas. “I have to buy that.”
她毫不犹豫地把魔眼投向舞台。眼睛发出红光。过了一会儿，安娜·克洛夫特的视网膜里露出了从旧蟾蜍到新蟾蜍的隐秘面貌。“我必须买下它。”
“Anna?”
“安娜?”
[The first auction price is 500,000 coins!]
(第一次拍卖的价格是50万枚硬币!)
The moment the dokkaebi spoke, Anna Croft immediately made a bid.
多卡比一开口，安娜·克罗夫特就立即出价了。
“600,000 coins.”
“60万个硬币”
[600,000 coins have come out! The bidder… Incarnation Anna Croft!]
[60万枚硬币已经出来了!出价人...化身安娜·克罗夫特!]
It was a larger amount than she thought but the Old to New Toad was worth it.
这笔钱比她想象的要多，但是从旧蟾蜍到新蟾蜍，这笔钱是值得的。
+
This item has a legendary story The item eats ‘old items’ and replaces them with ‘new items’ of the same rating.
这个项目有一个传奇的故事该项目吃“旧项目”，并取而代之的“新项目”的相同等级。
+
The feature itself was simple. Eat old items and spitting out other items of the same rating. The words were simply but the application was infinite.
功能本身很简单。吃旧的食物，吐掉其他相同等级的食物。话语简单，但应用却是无穷无尽的。
“Contact the nebula and collect as many coins as possible.”
“联系星云，收集尽可能多的硬币。”
“Why this item…”
“为什么这个项目......”
“With this, we can get the items we want at any time.”
“有了这个，我们可以随时得到我们想要的东西。”
The other constellations and incarnation didn’t seem to know the usage of this toad yet. Thus, she had a chance to win the bid right now.
其他星座和化身似乎还不知道这只蟾蜍的用法。因此，她现在有机会中标。
[The highest bid is currently 600,000 coins! If there isn’t any more…]
[目前最高出价是60万枚硬币!如果没有更多的......]
At this moment.
此时此刻。
“700,000 coins.”
“70万个硬币”
Someone made a bid.
有人出价了。
[Ohh! 700,000 coins have come out!]
[哦!70万枚硬币已经出来了!]
There was a light from the other side of the audience that showed a bid. A demon sword that absorbed the sunlight.
从观众的另一边传来一道亮光，显示有人叫牌。一把吸收阳光的魔剑。
Anna Croft’s expression hardened.
安娜·克罗夫特的表情变得强硬起来。
[The bidder is Incarnation Yoo Jonghyuk!]
[投标人是化身柳钟玉!]
***
***
Yoo Jonghyuk emerging after Anna Croft caused a small turmoil in the auction house. Both of them were famous incarnations of Earth.
柳钟玉在安娜·克罗夫特在拍卖行引起一场小骚乱后浮出水面。他们都是著名的地球化身。
“Anna, if things go wrong…”
“安娜，如果出了什么差错......”
“This is fun. I never thought the Supreme King would be here.”
“真有趣，我从没想过至尊国王会在这里。”
Anna Croft was laughing. She raised her hand and cried out, “800,000 coins!”
安娜·克罗夫特笑了，她举起手喊道:“80万枚硬币!”
[Incarnation Anna Croft has bid 800,000 coins!]
[化身安娜·克罗夫特出价80万枚金币!]
“900,000 coins.”
“90万个硬币”
[900,000 coins! 900,000 coins have come out!]
[900,000个硬币!900,000个硬币出来了!]
Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t give up. It was an auction war they had to stick to. The atmosphere of the auction house started to heat up after the amount exceeded one million coins. It was a climb that could cause a price bubble but Anna Croft was relaxed.
柳永玉没有放弃。这是一场他们必须坚持的拍卖战争。在拍卖额超过一百万枚硬币后，拍卖行的气氛开始升温。这是一次可能导致价格泡沫的攀升，但安娜·克罗夫特却很放松。
‘You can’t beat me.’
你打不过我的
Dizziness occurred along with a short headache. A part of the future emerged in Anna Croft’s retinas. She used Future Sight and succeeded in reading the maximum amount Yoo Jonghyuk could pay.
头晕伴有短暂的头痛。未来的一部分出现在安娜·克罗夫特的视网膜里。她使用了FutureSight，并且成功地读出了YooJonghyuk能够支付的最高金额。
“1,280,000 coins.”
128万枚硬币
[Incarnation Anna Croft has bid1,280,000 coins!]
[化身安娜·克罗夫特有128万枚硬币!]
Yoo Jonghyuk was silent at Anna Croft’s bid. It was as expected.
柳永玉对安娜·克罗夫特的出价保持沉默。果然不出所料。
[Now, if there are no further bids…]
(现在，如果没有其他人出价......)
Anna Croft smiled. 1,280,000 coins was a huge amount but it was hard to see it as a loss. The Old to New Toad was a worthy item and if she obtained it…
安娜·克罗夫特笑了。1,280,000个硬币是一个巨大的数字，但很难看出这是一个损失。从旧蟾蜍到新蟾蜍是一件有价值的东西，如果她能得到的话.....。
“2 million coins!”
“200万硬币!”
The voice of a woman was heard from right above her and Anna Croft’s body whipped around. She wasn’t the only one who was shocked.
一个女人的声音从她的正上方传来，安娜·克罗夫特的身体猛地一扭。她不是唯一感到震惊的人。
[D-Did she say two million coins? Suddenly such an amount…] “It is the emergence of Han Sooyoung, a newly rich person.”
她是说两百万硬币吗？突然这样一个数字......]“这就是韩素英的出现，一个新贵。”
[Who…]
谁.....
“Don’t you know? Black Flames Demon Ruler Han Sooyoung, the leader of the Han Sooyoung Corporation and the real power of Kim Dokja’s Company.”
”“你不知道吗？黑火焰恶魔统治者韩秀英，韩秀英集团的领导者，金道嘉集团的真正掌权者。”
Lee Hyunsung, sitting beside Han Sooyoung, asked with surprise, “Sooyoung-ssi, is that true? Since when…”
坐在韩秀英旁边的李贤星吃惊地问道:“秀英，这是真的吗?从什么时候开始......”
Anna Croft stared at Han Sooyoung with wide eyes. The Black Flames Demon Ruler of the Korean Peninsula. It was a name Anna Croft knew well. “What trick is this, Black Flames Demon Ruler?”
安娜·克罗夫特睁大眼睛盯着HanSooyoung。朝鲜半岛黑火焰恶魔统治者。这是一个安娜·克罗夫特熟悉的名字。“这是什么把戏，黑火焰恶魔统治者?”
“I just want that toad.”
“我只想要那只癞蛤蟆。”
Anna Croft once again used Future Sight. It might be a short-term prediction but using Future Sight so many times in one day placed a huge burden on her body. Still, it couldn’t be helped. This had already become a showdown of pride.
安娜·克罗夫特又一次使用了未来的眼光。这可能是一个短期的预测，但是在一天之内多次使用未来视线给她的身体带来了巨大的负担。尽管如此，还是无能为力。这已经成为骄傲的摊牌。
The maximum amount of money that Han Sooyoung would pay appeared before Anna Croft’s eyes. How long had it been? Anna Croft wiped the nosebleed that occurred from her overloaded body and opened her mouth.
韩素英愿意支付的最高金额出现在安娜·克罗夫特眼前。多久没见了？安娜·克罗夫特擦去身体负荷过重而流出的鼻血，张开了嘴。
“…I bid 3 million coins.”
“...我出价三百万硬币。”
“Anna!” The startled Selena Kim shouted.
“安娜!”受到惊吓的金赛琳娜喊道。
However, Anna Croft was adamant. “I must buy it.”
不过，安娜·克罗夫特态度很坚决，“我一定要买下来。”
Anna Croft’s Future Sight showed that Han Sooyoung’s amount of money was 2,999,999 coins.
安娜·克罗夫特的《未来景象》显示，韩秀英的钱币总量为2999999枚硬币。
[3 million coins has come out!]
[300万枚硬币已经出来了!]
The dokkaebi was dancing with joy. Large cheers filled the venue.
多卡比欢快地跳着舞，会场上响起了热烈的欢呼声。
[As expected of the prophet!]
(正如预言家所料!)
[I heard she was shrewd and cunning but she was a big person!]
(我听说她精明狡猾，但她是个大块头!)
The audience was wowed but Anna Croft wasn’t the least bit excited.
观众们惊叹不已，但安娜·克罗夫特一点也不激动。
“Anna, 3 million coins is unreasonable. This is too much damage!”
“安娜，300万硬币是不合理的，损失太大了!”
“I can get a dokkaebi loan.”
“我可以申请多卡比贷款。”
“Going so far…”
“走得这么远......”
“It is a loss but in some senses, it isn’t a loss. I can’t concede it to them and that is enough to make it not a loss.”
“这是一种损失，但从某种意义上说，这不是损失。我不能让步给他们，这足以使它不是一个损失。”
“What…”
“什么......”
“The fact that they made such a large follow up bid shows they are desperate for this item.”
“事实上，他们进行了如此大规模的后续报价，这表明他们对这一产品非常渴望。”
Anna Croft glanced at Han Sooyoung and Kim Dokja’s Company. The fact that they had come here showed they were likely to participate in Gigantomachia. If they were going to meet one day, she needed to break them now.
安娜·克罗夫特扫了一眼韩秀英和金道嘉的公司。他们来到这里的事实表明，他们可能会参加Gigantomachia的活动。如果有一天他们会见面，她现在就需要打破他们。
In fact, Han Sooyoung was raising both hands like she lost. “This… I can’t afford it. We lost. Completely and 100% lost.”
事实上，韩素英举起双手就像输了一样。“这个......我买不起。我们输了。彻底而且100%的失败。”
“…”
“ ... ”
“This is why the world is unfair. We can win against a golden incarnation.”
“这就是为什么这个世界是不公平的。我们可以战胜一个金色的化身。”
…Something was weird. Anna Croft clearly won the bid but why did they look like they were enjoying it?
...有点奇怪。安娜·克罗夫特显然中标了，但为什么他们看起来很享受呢？
[Those who have won the items, please come down to the stage.]
获奖者请到台上来
Anna Croft turned to the stage at the dokkaebi’s call. The feeling of discomfort still hadn’t disappeared. She viewed the faces of Han Sooyoung and the expressionless Yoo Jonghyuk. She wanted to use Future Sight but she had already reached the limit for today.
听到dokkaebi的呼唤，AnnaCroft转向舞台。不舒服的感觉还没有消失。她看着韩秀英的脸，看着柳永毫无表情的脸。她想用未来的视力，但她已经达到了今天的极限。
‘Wait, don’t tell me?’
等等，别告诉我
Anna Croft stood in front of the auctioneer and reflexively asked, “This product, who is the contributor?”
安娜·克罗夫特站在拍卖师面前，条件反射地问:“这个产品，是谁做的?”
[That… Kim Dokja’s Company.]
[那个...金独子公司]
“I won’t buy it.”
“我不会买的。”
[Huh?]
[哼?]
The dokkaebi looked surprised.
多卡比看上去很惊讶。
[We can’t refund products that have already been sold. If you do not pay the amount―] “This is obviously a scam. Thus, I won’t buy it.”
我们不能退还已经售出的产品。如果你不支付这笔钱——]“这显然是一个骗局。因此，我不会买它。”
[A scam?]
(骗局?)
Anna Croft pointed at Kim Dokja’s group. “They induced an artificial price competition. They had no intention of buying this item in the first place.”
安娜·克罗夫特指着金独子的队伍。“他们引发了一场人为的价格竞争。他们从一开始就没打算买这件东西。”
Han Sooyoung clicked her tongue at Anna Croft’s claim. “What are you saying? I really wanted to buy it.”
韩淑英听到安娜·克罗夫特的说法，舌头打了个响。“你在说什么?我真的很想买下它。”
“Even if you wanted to buy it, this auction is invalid. They are the contributors of this product. Isn’t it forbidden for contributors to participate in the auction?”
“即使你想买，这次拍卖也是无效的。他们是这个产品的贡献者。投资者参与拍卖不是被禁止的吗?”
In the end, Han Sooyoung and Yoo Jonghyuk glanced at each other. The senior dokkaebi spoke [That… it is correct. It is certainly forbidden for contributors to participate in the auctions of their own products.]
最后，韩秀英和柳永相互看了一眼。老多卡比说......这是正确的。当然，捐赠者不得参与自己产品的拍卖
Anna Croft nodded like she knew it. “Please check the contributor. The contributor will surely be one of them.”
安娜·克罗夫特点点头，好像她知道一样。“请检查一下投稿人。投稿人肯定是其中之一。”
[Okay. Please wait a moment.]
好的，请稍等
The members of Kim Dokja’s Company were making troubled expressions. On the other hand, Anna Croft’s expression was filled with relief and triumph.
金道佳公司的成员们表现出不安的神情。另一方面，安娜·克罗夫特的脸上却洋溢着欣慰和胜利的表情。
It was a pretty good trap. She was the prophet yet she almost got hit. By the way, the dokkaebi checking the contributor cocked his head.
这是个不错的陷阱。她是先知，但是她差点被打中。顺便说一下，dokkaebi检查投稿人抬起头。
[Strange. None of them are the contributor.]
[奇怪的是，他们没有一个是贡献者。]
“Huh?”
“啊?”
Han Sooyoung laughed. “Didn’t I tell you? Ah~ I really wanted that toad…”
韩素英笑道:“我没告诉你吗?啊~我真的很想要那只癞蛤蟆......”
“Then the contributor is…”
“那么投稿人是......”
At this moment, the door of the auction house opened wide. A dazzling light entered from outside the auction house and the white coat was shaken by the wind.
