I Became a Commander in a Crappy SF Game.

Ch.188For Sale: S-Class Superhuman, Never Used. (2)

by fnovelpia

After looking around a bit more, I realized that quite a lot of preparation was needed to sell an S-rank superhuman at the auction house.

First, cancel that auction you were about to list with default settings

And without further explanation, just add appropriate additional equipment and body modifications to the superhuman you’re trying to auction

How much?

No matter what faction you belong to, you need some level of modification that visibly “adds” something to their appearance

For example, if you’re from the Monster faction, the basics would be adding an extra arm or tentacle tail to your superhuman

If you’re Earth Federation or Xenovia, you should consider attaching something like an unmanned drone or shoulder cannon

You know, like the ones in Pr*dator

Pirates? No clue

Obviously, unless you have something truly rare, leveling them to at least level 50 is the bare minimum

“Hmm.”

Through this gallery post, I was able to learn how to sell superhumans at the auction house.

“What do you think, Commander?”

“Gwood, I compwetewy undewstand.”

“Ah… yes.”

“Just kidding. To summarize, we need sufficient leveling, appropriate additional equipment… and at least one proper faction-style modification.”

“I see.”

So in our case, to sell those two S-rank superhumans at the auction house, whether we like it or not, we’d need to add tentacles or an extra arm as the gallery post suggested.

Of course, if we actually added an extra arm, they might later shave their heads and start praising some four-armed god or something.

To sell them at market value, we’d need to add at least one tentacle each…

While I was thinking about this, a thought crossed my mind, and I suddenly stood up and spoke again.

“But come to think of it, do we really need to obsess over their price?”

“Pardon?”

“We’re only doing this because one of the three—Ignis, Partia, or Berial—doesn’t want to be tied to the base… do we really need to enhance them just to sell them at full price?”

“That’s… true. They’re in an awkward state for our forces anyway.”

After showing a gloomy expression and nodding at my words for a moment…

“Commander, are you planning to just sell them without much effort?”

“Yeah, I don’t think we need to go through all the trouble of modifying them.”

Understanding my intention to simply “dispose” of them from our base rather than worry about market value, Jessica shrugged and said:

“That doesn’t sound bad. Even if we only get 100 gold, it’s still profit, right?”

After all, whether we rolled gacha or whatever, we didn’t spend our own resources to get them.

Since they were obtained as war compensation, how we handled them was entirely up to us.

After organizing my thoughts, I decided to finish today’s daily quest first.

Then I planned to quickly open the auction house and set the price at 100 gold to sell them as fast as possible.

However…

—————————————-

<Notice!>

—————————————-

“Oh, this doesn’t work.”

I guess they don’t allow the auction house to be used as a garbage disposal site.

Seeing our brilliant first plan blocked from the start, I shook my head and clicked on the auction settings again.

I found the minimum price and decided to set it at exactly +1 gold above that.

Additionally, I removed the unnecessary details I had added yesterday.

I posted these concise auction listings, hoping that someone would bite.

Of course, if they don’t get enough exposure and nobody sees them, there’s nothing we can do…

But I’m not an idiot, and I didn’t want to just post them and do nothing else, so I decided to take additional action.

—————————————-

-[I waaaant to rub my face between Pashtra’s breasts]

-[Don’t say that out loud, idiot!]

-[Waaah my baby Sirecan hurt his toe today]

-[Seems like there are more idiots here every day]

-[U-yas]

-[☆☆☆3 S-rank destroyers on clearance sale at the auction house☆☆☆]

-[What should I eat today]

-[The base chefs always give us the best food anyway]

-[True that]

—————————————-

After opening the global chat that was overflowing with all kinds of nonsense based on complete “anonymity” as usual,

I noticed someone else promoting their auction house listing.

Feeling reassured, I decided to post a short message promoting my auction listings as well.

—————————————-

-[☆S-rank superhumans (2) for sale at auction house, lowest price☆]

—————————————-

Of course, just posting this might not do much…

Considering the number of users who don’t use the gallery or only communicate with other users through in-game community features or direct communication,

And only use the chat window, the global chat has between 110,000 and 500,000 active users.

How many people would actually read such a short message?

So I decided that until tomorrow, when the listing would automatically be deleted if there were no bidders, I would post a line in the chat whenever I had time to promote it.

I made up my mind to diligently advertise in the global chat about every 30 minutes, almost like running a macro.

==========

But surprisingly, exactly 29 minutes and 33 seconds after I started deleting those trash posts from the gallery…

—————————————-

<Accept?>

<Y/N>

—————————————-

‘What’s this?’

When this unexpected anonymous chat request came in, I initially thought it might be someone angry about me deleting the trash posts.

So I was about to reject the chat, but…

‘Oops, my finger slipped.’

I accidentally pressed Y, which was right next to it, and opened the chat window.

Fortunately, the anonymous chat request wasn’t from those trash posters lashing out, but:

—————————————-

-[Hey, are you still selling on the auction house?]

-[The two S-ranks]

—————————————-

‘Oh.’

It wasn’t from those garbage people, but from the “auction” participant I had been waiting for.

I immediately began responding to the chat from this unexpected benefactor(?).
