"Wow, another interesting piece! It's making me want to bid myself."
Penguin Captain said, eyes shining brightly.
He loves these kinds of prank items, especially when the previous owner was unlucky; he loves it even more.
Unfortunately, as the boss of the auction house, he couldn't participate in the bidding.
It's an iron rule of the auction house, no matter who the boss is, it can't be changed.
Of course, no rule is without exceptions.
For example, Penguin Captain could have others participate in the auction to bid on his behalf.
But such arrangements need to be made in advance, and the auction had already started, so it was too late to arrange for someone now.
"I'll bid this."
A giant alien insect in a suit took out a card.
The card depicted a ragged, thin beggar and a hand tossing Gold Coins into his broken bowl, with a hexagon carved on the coins.
"Wow, it's this card, it's been ages since I've seen it."
Penguin Captain showed a surprised expression.
