MMORPG: I Can See Hidden Information

An intense sensation of seemingly infinite warmth spread throughout Fike’s entire being.

Suddenly, black smoke exuded out of his orifices before he abruptly spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood.

The toxins in the blood were so concentrated and potent that they actually corroded through the floor of the Alchemy Hall.

Seeing this reaction, the old man hurried over to Fike and supported him up.

“Young man, how are you?”

Fike waved his hand.

“I’m alright, I’m alright… Old man, to think that you’d have this thousand-year-old cauldron. It looks like you’re not just an ordinary everyday person!”

The old man chuckled.

“Young man, you have attentive eyes!

“My name is Hagrid. I was originally a professor in the Spell School, but because of some… complications, I was demoted to guard this alchemy hall.”

Hearing the name Hagrid, Fike felt a sense of inexplicable familiarity.

“Mr. Hagrid, as in the Principal of Yogmo Academy?”

Fike asked.

“He is my brother!”

“Oh, I see…”

Seeing that Fike’s doubts had been eliminated, Hagrid continued to suggest.

“I see that you have a very strong proficiency in alchemy, but you seem to be lacking a medicinal cauldron that suits you, am I right?”

Fike nodded in reply.

“How about this, young Fike? Head over to the Romon Auction. There may be something that’ll be appropriate for your needs there.”

At the mention of the Romon Auction, Fike couldn’t help but recall the scenes that had happened that day.

“The Romon Auction, huh?”

Fike said faintly.

“Why don’t you go take a look while the sky is still not completely dark? What do you think?”

“Then, Mr. Hagrid, will you go with me?”

Fike asked.

“No, I have to remain on guard here and watch the Alchemy Hall.”

Fike did not pursue the matter further after hearing the old man’s definitive reply.

He set off, preparing to go to the Romon Auction.

…

Fike passed through the familiar dark alleys before arriving at the familiar dilapidated house.

He walked in, confidently striding through the long stairs down.

The bustling underground city of the Romon Auction soon stood before him.

Another once again familiar bunny girl approached him as she asked in a friendly manner.

“Dear sir, are you here to buy or sell?”

Just as Fike had been about to answer, another familiar voice sounded.

“Hey hey, girl, wait! Who do I see here? It’s Fike!”

Fike couldn’t even turn around before a pair of seductive, slim hands were already coiled around his shoulders.

He saw that Lan Xi was wearing an alluring cheongsam today, completely exposing her curvaceous figure. It went without saying that the gazes of the countless men in the auction were fixed on her.

“Lord Fike, you’ve finally come to see Chi-Chi!”

A pair of cat ears on top of another familiar face appeared in front of Fike. Chi-Chi was dressed in the outfit of a maid.

“So? What brings our dear brother Fike here to the Romon Auction today?”

Lan Xi asked.

“I’ve heard about it, too. Brother Fike, you’ve already placed yourself among the top five in the freshmen trial of Yogmo Academy, right?”

Fike nodded bashfully as he explained.

“Actually, I came here today to look for a medicinal cauldron for alchemy.”

“Oh that? That thing is quite rare!”

Lan Xi exclaimed.

“The profit margin for those are quite low. Not many forgers are willing to craft medicinal cauldrons, and the quality of the cauldrons desired on the market isn’t very high either.”

“I wonder if there are any medicinal cauldrons up for auction today?”

Lan Xi shook her head in response.

Seeing her reply, Fike sighed helplessly as well.

Suddenly, a light flashed in Lan Xi’s eyes.

“Oh! But we’ve received a strange item recently. If you don’t mind, I can bring you to see it.”

“Really?”

Fike responded eagerly.

“Follow me!”

Lan Xi led Fike to the second floor of the auction house, where they pushed open a set of huge, heavy doors.

An imposing black treasure chest greeted Fike, and he could clearly feel the menacing aura radiating off it.

“What a fierce aura!”

Fike whispered.

“Fike! Open It!”

Lan Xi encouraged him gently.

Fike walked forward cautiously and opened the chest.

Inside it was a small cauldron, the color of charcoal ash.

At this moment, the hidden message sent in a notification as well.

[Hidden Information: Magic Cauldron – Asclepius’ Sacred Relic. It is a remnant of the primordial era, once used to refine Miracle Fragments. It has passed through the hands of several generations of kings before finally arriving here. King-tier. After the Baptism of the Holy Light, it will return to its original form.]

Fike grew excited at the hidden message’s words.

He tried his best to keep a straight face as he turned to Lan Xi.

“Is this thing for sale?”

Lan Xi smiled in response.

“If you like it, just take it!”

“This thing can’t be sold anyway.”

Fike was shocked, but he continued to ask.

“Why can’t you sell it?”

“Because even the best connoisseurs here couldn’t identify its quality.

“However, although they can’t confirm it, according to them, part of the spiritual energy of this cauldron has been sealed. Since we have no way of breaking the seal at all, it’s all we could do to leave this here temporarily, accumulating dust.”

Fike was in disbelief as he asked again for confirmation.

“So you really plan to give it to me?”

Lan Xi nodded.

“Making a friend like you has been an honor for our Romon Auction.”

Despite her saying this, Fike insisted anyway that Lan Xi took back the gold card that she had given him last time.

“This? This is too much! Is this thing really worth that much money?”

Lan Xi said in exasperation.

“Just take it! Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease taking this thing away.”

Fike said.

“In any case, do you even have a way to break the seal yourself?”

“Of course! If you want to see its original appearance, I can show it to you now!”

Fike beamed confidently.

Then, clenched his hands into a fist.

The black furnace seemingly erupted, shining with dazzling golden light.

Suddenly, a construct of an angel appeared in the room with them. It held what looked to be a magic wand in its hand, and gently tapped the surface of soot-black cauldron with it.

The layer of ash-like substance that coated the cauldron instantly disappeared without even leaving a trace, and the cauldron was finally reverted to its true form, revealing its original shiny golden appearance.

It seemed to be made purely of gold, and clearly radiated the wizened aura of the primordial ages. It was round, and looked extremely heavy.

Looking at the perfectly crafted furnace in front of them, even Fike, who had already known what it really was, could not help himself from being stunned.
