The Auction!

Today was the day of the auction, and the city was in a frenzy, with all eyes on the Celestial Heavenly Store.

Inside the lobby, the seats had been rearranged, and a podium was placed at the front. Everything was ready for the auction, which would take place at noon.

As for the adventurers, they were thrilled, filled with excitement and anticipation. In contrast, the five most powerful individuals in the city were anything but calm.

They had plenty of gold coins, which would usually give them the confidence to snatch the Fire Resisting Robe from the adventurer teams. 

But the situation was reversed— the Celestial Heavenly Store was not interested in gold coins or any typical currency.

The only currency that could move them was the store's contribution points, which the five individuals did not possess. Their only hope now was that their gold coins could somehow be converted to contribution points.
