Xinyu and Xunyi stopped pestering me.
Paminsan-minsan ay binabantayan nila ang bawat kilos ko. Gusto kong matawa sa ginagawa nila. The promise a while ago must be real considering that they no longer threatened me. Instead, they would only sneak stares at me which I find amusing.
Totoo naman talaga ang sinabi kong tutulungan ko sila kahit na hindi ako nakapagbitaw ng promise. They look desperate base on their actions. They must have done this for a cause. After all, why would they resort to such solution?
Alam ko namang mabubuti 'tong mga ito. Nagawa lang nila ito dahil wala na silang choice. This eye must be something.
I am curious to know if there is something about this eye that could make them do such an action.
Sinabi pa nga nila na kahit na nakapagbitaw ako ng mahalagang salita kanina, babantayan parin daw nila ang galaw ko. Hindi raw sila magdadalawalang isip na gumawa ng masama kung sakali-sakali.
Hindi ko rin mapigilang mamangha sa kung paano sila mag-isip. In order for them not to kill me, they will summon their 'hidden monster' to eat me. Ang mangyayari, hindi sila maakusahang pumatay sa akin at bagkus ay 'yung alaga nilang monster. This kind of strategy is an escape to their crime. Ito ang ginagawa nila sa ibang players na naging biktima nila when they started stealing coins this month.
Napabuntong hininga nalang ako at hinayaan sila sa kung ano man ang iniisip nila. Gusto ko lang naman manood, kaya susulitin ko na.
Bahala sila.
"Why are you so desperate to get that eye?" I asked, baffled about their reason.
Xinyu answered, "Hindi mo alam? That eye is one of the rarest accessory the game has ever created. It has a lot of potential, and one of those is the ability to add special buffs to the wearer. You see, it was specifically crafted to shooter players, that is why we were eager to get it. Beneficial iyon sa akin as a shooter since it could enhance one's status, such as perception and sharpness. Later, baka i-introduce ang iba nitong impormasyon at malalaman mo kung ano pa ang meron sa eye na iyon."
I pondered about it and asked again, "Does it cost a lot?"
"Balita namin, aabot daw 'yun ng thousands of copper coins."
That was the initial cost of the eye. If there were a lot of bidders, probably it will cost more than that. Kaya atat na ata 'tong dalawang ito na makaipon agad ng coins.
Hindi na ako nagsalita at nanatiling tahimik. Asbo has no ability to read people's mind so I didn't know their reason.
After waiting for how many minutes, there was a sudden cheer from the crowd causing me to look at the stage in front. I could hear their whistles and shouts as white smoke emerged in the midst of the rectangular stage. When the smoke dispersed, a boy wearing a neat tuxedo appeared from it. There was a professional vibes around him. He stood there, looking calm and composed, surpassing the aura around the crowd.
Ito na siguro ang hudyat na magsisimula na ang Auction. Parang puno na rin kasi ang buong stadium.
Then I heard Xinyu speaking.
He said, "If you are planning to play, you just need to type the bidding coin you have in the monitor and the boy in front will announce it."
He pointed his finger to my chair. "The monitor will appear once you press that button on the right arm of your chair."
I followed what he told me and a monitor did appeared in front of me. It was a transparent monitor, floating mid-air. It wasn't big, its size is similar to a computer monitor in the real world.
