2.

The city auction house.

It wasn’t a place just anyone could enter.

Even players couldn’t just walk in.

Likewise, not all NPCs were allowed inside.

Only those with at least 10,000 gold could participate—players or NPCs alike.

Of course, there were exceptions.

Anyone with a noble title could enter regardless of their financial status.

But in reality, it was rare for a noble to have less than 10,000 gold, so the rule mostly applied.

However, Seong was an exception.

"Sir Seong-hyun! Title confirmed! You may enter with one companion. Please enjoy the auction!"

The gatekeeper NPC greeted him and handed him a numbered token.

Seong gave a slight nod and responded politely.@@novelbin@@

"Ah, thank you."

— Huh…?

Beside him, Fiora looked slightly bewildered.

They hadn’t even checked his gold balance, yet they let him in without issue.

That said—

Seong wasn't broke.

He had more than 6,000 gold.

But that wasn’t enough to meet the 10,000-gold entry requirement.

‘Good thing I sold off all those Unique items.’

After selling off every single unused Unique-tier item in his inventory, he had managed to rack up over 33,000 gold.

Added together, he now had nearly 40,000 gold—

Which was roughly 400 million won in real-world currency.

Surely, that would be enough to buy the Abyssal Dragon’s Heart Fragment… right?

Seong had made plenty of money throughout his journey.
