Charles opened the system''s storage space, which had been filled with herbs but, after five days of diligent work, now contained only miracle drugs.


    [Storage Space]: Hemostatic powder [tone reproduction miracle drug]×10, painkillers×200, fire-controlling elixir×100, spirit-replenishing pill×50, serene fluid×50, beast-driving wine×30...


    Looking at these alchemy medicines, Charles felt a great sense of aplishment. After five days of repetitive work, he felt his alchemy skills had significantly improved.


    "These miracle drugs should be enough for the two-month journey into the ferocious beast mountains. The excess can be sold," Charles said with satisfaction.


    Themon medicines were not a big deal, but he wasn''t nning to release all the tone reproduction miracle drug hemostatic powder at once.


    There''s a business term from his previous life called ''hunger marketing.'' If he were to auction all 10 gray miracle drugs at once, the price would definitely be driven down.


    He needed to sell them bit by bit.


    Charles hailed a cab and arrived at the Misubi auction house an hourter.


    This time, he was not greeted by a man in a tailcoat but by a delicately beautiful woman: "Sir, please follow me."


    The woman wore a very form-fitting strapless long dress that entuated her enticing curves. With a slight bow, she revealed a generous amount of cleavage.


    Having been through much in two lifetimes, Charles was usually unphased. However, his body was still that of an 18-year-old, full of youthful vigor. Witnessing this scene, it was inevitable that something uncontroble would stiffen.


    Fortunately, the woman quickly turned around, unaware of Charles''s difort, thus avoiding much embarrassment.


    In the VIP room.


    The chief appraiser, Brown, took the two miracle drugs from Charles, sniffed them gently, and then ced the pills into a nearby testing device. A few minutester, he nodded affirmatively:


    "Both my experience and the device''s data results confirm that these two miracle drugs have achieved tone reproduction."


    Brown''s face was full of smiles as he asked, "Sir, would you like to auction them here again?"


    Charles nodded. "The sooner, the better. I only have one day."


    "No problem, please wait a moment." Brown ced Charles''s miracle drugs into a jade box, gave a subtle signal to the woman beside him, and then gently closed the room''s door.


    Sitting by the same window, Charles watched Brown enter the auction hall downstairs with the two miracle drugs. After a brief introduction, the bidding started.


    "Sir, would you like some coffee?" The woman who had initially greeted Charles suddenly approached him, appearing somewhat flustered.


    Charles nodded absentmindedly, his attention fixed on the auction below.


    As the auction for the two tone reproduction miracle drugs began, the crowd downstairs grew restless, with continuous bids being ced.


    "I heard a single Hemostatic powder sold for 50 silver coins yesterday. This thing must be valuable; I''ll start at 20 silver coins!"


    "25 silver coins!"


    "I bid 30 silver coins!"


    "35 silver coins!"


    "..."


    As Charles was engrossed in the scene, he suddenly felt a warmth on his body. Turning around, he saw that his pants, which he had just put on before leaving, were now stained with light brown coffee.


    "I''m so sorry, sir, I''m just clumsy..." The woman looked extremely panicked as she quickly pulled out a handkerchief, knelt on the carpet, and gently wiped at Charles''s pants.


    "No... it''s okay, I''ll just change them when I get back. Just be more careful next time." Since it was an ident, Charles didn''t want to make too much of it.


    He nced at the woman''s name badge. Her name was Ang, and she seemed to be about his age, probably just starting her internship.


    But this nce turned awkward as Charles looked down and Ang looked up at him. Her pale blue eyes, like a clear, unpollutedke, were stunning.


    Ang looked down at her strapless neckline and, from Charles''s higher perspective, he must have seen everything... Her face flushed slightly, and her lips parted as if she wanted to say something but found it difficult to speak.


    "Uh, Miss Ang, I wasn''t looking at your... I was looking at your name badge!" Charles''s face turned red.


    With that, Ang''s face grew even redder.


    ''This... why are you blushing? It makes it seem like I did something. I wasn''t trying to peek!''


    Charles was at a loss for words.


    Damn, it''s hard to rify! The more he exined, the more it seemed like he really was staring at Ang''s chest.


    Charles only heard the sound of a zipper, and then his penis, still marked with coffee stains, was exposed to the air, standing erect less than 10 centimeters from Ang''s face.


    Before Charles could regain hisposure, he felt a soft and moist sensation enveloping his penis, yet the pleasurable feeling almost sent him soaring, nearly moaning out loud.


    A buzzing filled Charles''s mind.


    Who am I?


    Where am I?


    What am I supposed to do?


    Charles''s brain short-circuited.


    He was supposed to be watching the auction, but then, a sweet-looking girl spilled coffee on him and insisted on kneeling to clean it up, and then...


    The pleasurable sensation of her mouth working him, in and out, made his scalp tingle. Charles'' penis suddenly had veins bulging, almost filling her mouthpletely.


    "Um, Miss Ang, please show some respect!" Charles snapped back to reality and quickly pulled his penis out of her mouth. However, stopping at such a critical moment left him with an unbearable sense of emptiness, making him feel extremely ufortable.


    "Sir, please... they... they will beat me..." Tears streamed down Ang''s delicate face, dampening Charles''s pants, her voice bitter with a hint of pleading.


    "Was it that scoundrel Brown who forced you to do this?" Charles''s anger was palpable.


    He understood in a sh.


    There was no beautiful, idental coffee spill leading to a meet-cute; this was a prearranged, sordid transaction!


    He knew that alchemists held a high status in Genosha, and some major families would go to great lengths to court them.


    But he hadn''t expected the Misubi family to stoop so low to win him over.


    To force a girl, new to the workce, to seduce him against her will.


    "No, no, Mr. Charles, it''s not what you think, Mr. Brown is a very good man." Kneeling before Charles, Ang''s face was as red as a ripe peach, her voice tense, and Charles could even feel her rapid breathing.


    "Mr. Charles, when I was seven, a swarm of alloy ants attacked my vige, and it was Mr. Brown who rescued me from a bloodbath." Tears marked Ang''s face as she spoke.


    "Until today... until today when I saw the news that Mr. Charles personally slew that alloy ant queen, I''ve been eagerly hoping to meet you."


    "So..."


    "This was Mr. Brown''s arrangement, as well as Ang''s own desire."


    Despite the tears streaking her face, Ang wore a smile of contentment.


    ...


    "Mr. Charles, here is the auction proceeds of 80 silver coins, minus a 5% handling fee, totaling 76 silver coins, please take it!"


    At the VIP room entrance.


    Dressed in a light strapless dress and wearing delicate makeup, Ang''s face bore a professional smile, showing no traces of her earlier tears.


    She gave Charles a slight bow and winked subtly when no one was looking.


    Charles couldn''t remember how he left the Misubi auction house, only feeling a deep sense of pleasure both physically and emotionally, mixed with a slight exhaustion from release.


    However,pared to when he arrived, his mind now harbored a secret about a girl.


    Charles was cashing a check when his phone suddenly rang with a call from the Beast Master Guild; the ferocious beast materials he had entrusted for sale had all been sold.


    Thrilled, Charles checked his bank ount bnce.


    [Dear customer, the current bnce of your ount ending in 9527 is: 0 gold coins, 149 silver coins, 820 copper coins.]


    Charles quickly did the math: 76 silver coins from the auction, 15 silver coins from the sale of alloy ant materials, plus the original 58 silver coins in his ount...


    "Not a coin less, just perfect!"


    This was the first time Charles had seen so much money—149 silver coins, almost the equivalent of what ten ordinary people could earn in a year without spending on anything!


    With a substantial sum in his pocket, Charles walked with a spring in his step.


    First, he went to the equipment store. This time, without haggling, he purchased the Divine Scale Armor he had eyed before for 20 silver coins.


    Then, Charles''s gaze shifted to ''The Wilson Weaponry'', a prominent brand in Lsengard known for high-quality weapons, not far from the equipment store.


    At a nce, the system indicated mostly gray and white items. With so much money, Charles was no longer interested in ordinary weapons and headed straight for the core area of the store.


    Tomorrow was the day he would venture out of the city for training, and the weapon store was bustling with customers today.


    In the perilous ferocious beast mountains, besides a pet, having a suitable weapon was also a crucial safeguard.


    As he moved deeper into the store, the weapons became rarer, gradually introducing weapons of green quality.


    After wandering around for most of the day, amidst the gray, white, and green, Charles spotted a hint of deep blue:


    "Excuse me, how much is this weapon?"
