Ch.129129. Elixir

Perhaps due to the massive auctions that had occurred earlier, the Elixir itself didn’t make much of an impact.

“This is rather boring.”

“What’s an Elixir anyway?”

But even without making an impact, the broadcast already had over 100 million viewers watching.

Although many viewers had left after the auction for the core items ended, there were still nearly 100 million viewers tuned in.

Due to the excitement from earlier, they were curious about the Elixir and continued watching.

For ordinary people, an Elixir is an extremely rare potion to come across.

[Purified Elixir]

– Grade: S

– An Elixir made from high-purity Ogre blood. The chaotic energy in the Ogre’s blood has been purified, containing purified energy.

– Upon consumption, restores 500% of life force. Excess life force is maintained and recovered for 60 minutes.

– Recovers 10% life force per second for 60 minutes

– +2 grade Stamina for 60 minutes

– Damage reduction +35% for 60 minutes

– The purified energy permeates the body, permanently increasing Stamina by +1 grade when consumed by someone with Stamina grade S or lower (applies once)

The item options for the Elixir had not been disclosed previously.

There are other Elixirs, but this one is made from corrupted Ogre blood.

It’s one of the few Elixirs made from blood obtained from an S- monster, which is why they deliberately didn’t reveal its options and saved it for the end.

“Wow”

“?”

“Permanent Stamina +1 grade?”

“How can such an Elixir exist…”

I could see both viewers and auction participants murmuring among themselves.

There had been a lot of talk about Elixirs.

It’s true that Elixirs are difficult to obtain potions and can be considered the ultimate potion, the pinnacle of alchemy.

Looking at just the basic options, an Elixir’s effects are so good that it’s no joke when people say it can make the impossible possible and even revive the dead.

Moreover, even excluding the purified option, this Purified Elixir is said to potentially prevent death for at least 60 minutes.

But still, compared to the Greatsword of Madness or the Hair Loss Medicine, its impact was admittedly lower.

Was it really worthy of appearing in a VIP auction?

To be there, it should be worth at least 10 billion to enter, leading many to claim it was just being bundled with other items.

Some had said there must be a reason why the item options weren’t disclosed and that we should wait and see.

This was why.

“Whoa, so if someone with Stamina S drinks this, they’ll become S+?”

“How can a potion permanently increase stats?”

“Raising from S by 1 grade is unbelievable!”

I smile with satisfaction.

Yes, this is it.

Like before, I usually place what I estimate to be the most expensive item in the middle.

It’s my preference, but as concentration or funds tend to wane toward the end, I’d rather place it in the middle to really draw people in.

This time, this one is the star.

Well, from my perspective, both the Greatsword and the Purified Elixir were the stars, except for the Hair Loss Medicine.

“The auction will start at 10 billion, with increments of 1 billion.”

Despite people’s panic, the auction began.

“11 billion. 12 billion.”

It was a bit slow at first.

They were probably considering whether it was worth the price.

Hunters with Stamina grade S would go crazy seeing this.

Those who have reached that grade know better than anyone the difference between Stamina S and S+.

But there aren’t many hunters with Stamina grade S in the world.

While stats can increase through individual effort, this isn’t significant unless at lower grades, and one needs to level up to allocate points. Stamina is inevitably a secondary stat compared to Strength or Agility.

When points accumulate, close-range dealers typically increase Strength rather than prioritizing Stamina.

Therefore, having Stamina grade S is not easy unless you’re a tank or a very high-grade hunter, making it difficult to fully utilize its efficiency.

Of course, that’s not a reason not to buy it.

“It’s not like it has an expiration date. You can buy it now and use it later.”

“Here comes the hoarding lol”

Perhaps they had calculated the value of the Elixir.

The auction price began to rise rapidly.

While viewers mocked it as hoarding, I could welcome even hoarders if they were willing to enter this VIP auction.

Again, those who needed it were more desperate.

“Isn’t that Samute and Pleo again?”

“Lol, yeah. Numbers 45 and 46. How are they even sitting right next to each other?”

Though the bidders were anonymous, people’s attention was inevitably drawn to the two competing again, as they had already been virtually confirmed during the Greatsword of Madness auction.

Coincidentally, two people who could reach Stamina grade S had come to the auction to buy the Greatsword of Madness.

From what I could see, Samute’s Stamina was A+, and Pleo’s was S-.

The difference in their base stats seems to match their grade difference.

They probably have some rules about how much to invest in points.

Although both lacked the stats to get the maximum efficiency from the Purified Elixir, as people said, they could buy it now and use it after reaching Stamina grade S.

“15 billion! 20 billion!”

If I were sitting there, I might have bid the same way.

The total amount of Purified Elixir made from corrupted Ogre blood is exactly 5 bottles.

Among them, only 3 have the corrupted energy option, or rather, the purified option.

Of course, I drank one myself.

My current Stamina is S+ grade, but my base Stamina was S, and it rose by 1 grade due to the corrupted ring, so I could also benefit from this Purified Elixir.

I decided to leave the remaining bottle alone for now.

I was thinking of putting it up for auction someday when I had nothing else to offer.

So for now, this is the only potion in the world that can increase a grade S ability by +1 grade.

“40 billion.”

“50 billion. 60 billion. 70 billion.”

The value of such a potion truly has no market price.

Because it’s never existed before.

“Was there such a thing?”

“Is this also from the Farmer Hunter?”

“Yeah, as far as I know, this auction is a special exhibition of the Farmer Hunter’s items.”

“Where does he get these things from?”

“How high will this go?”

“Honestly, it’s worth betting your entire fortune. Raising from S to S+ would take at least 15 points.”

The point requirements for raising stats through farming ability points versus hunters’ level-up points are different.

I don’t know why.

I can only guess that it’s because the farming world belongs to a higher-dimensional rift dimension, so the efficiency is better.

Anyway, for that reason, the permanent +1 grade stat increase should be valued in comparison to that value.

“250 billion.”

Pleo raised the auction price as if to vent his frustration at not getting the Greatsword of Madness earlier.

Is he seeking revenge?

Or does he think this is better than the Greatsword of Madness?

Whatever the case, it doesn’t change the fact that the Greatsword of Madness is a bus that has already left.

“For Pleo, buying this makes sense.”

“Stamina is actually important for close-range dealers too.”

“With Stamina S+, considering Pleo’s style, it might be even better.”

Pleo, who insists on a one-on-one combat style, needs all three: Strength, Agility, and Stamina.

On the other hand, Samute focuses on Strength and Agility while also paying attention to Magic Power.

So Pleo’s aggressive bidding is based on his strategy and confidence.

No matter how much money Samute has, the Greatsword of Madness was already a stretch.

It’s not that spending 900 billion isn’t a burden for Pleo either, but he still has some leeway up to that point.

The issue now is that there are others who want the Elixir besides these two.

“…500 billion.”

The amount suddenly jumps from 300 billion.

The three-way auction quickly reached the price of the Greatsword of Madness, and…

“1 trillion…..Sold!”

“?”

“Is it worth that much?”

“There really are a lot of rich people in the world.”

“Wow… 1 trillion for just one potion…”

“With this money, I could get a full set of items.”

I agreed with all these comments.

Even in an era of expensive items, 1 trillion could upgrade a full set of equipment by 1 grade each, which would have a much greater effect than a permanent Stamina +1 grade increase.

Of course, it’s different for top-tier rankers.

Who could it be?

Looking at the bidder’s room, I saw a familiar woman waving at the camera.

“…Why is that woman here?”

“Oh? It’s sister Kellin.”

SS-grade magician.

Kellin, who had called me her lifesaver, was greeting me with a bright smile.

The auction was over.

Even after the broadcast ended, viewers were busy discussing this record-breaking auction, and main news outlets including Hunters were covering the event extensively.

And I had a meeting with the bidders.
