[Daily mission]
[Come to Under Tower auction and win Painting ‘Hidden Treasure’]
[Incoming ticket will be sent by email immediately]
Morning blind window system appears carrying daily missions. Sean who is getting used to it is back to reading the mission given the system this time.
“Just looking for a painting?” Sean thought back to his bed.
I don't know what the system planned, but he's grateful for today's mission. Luckily the system didn't ask Sean to paint anymore, his right hand was still stiff and he would actually cry if the system gave a punishment like yesterday.
The screen on Sean's phone was on and there was an incoming email notification.
[Auction Under Tower]
[No seat 202]
[Date: 5 January 2020]
[Time: 16.00 WIB]
[Place: Atrium hotel Twin Art]
Without commenting a bit Sean shut the email on the phone and pulled the blanket high. Now he continues his sleep.
***
At exactly four in the afternoon, Sean arrived in front of the Twin Art hotel. Unwilling to waste any time, the young man entered the atrium and sat down in a predetermined chair.
Seat number 202 is not an exclusive seat, it is in the back row that makes the view is limited. However, Sean ignored that, he did not have to bother to observe each item that was auctioned as long as he had pocketed the name of the item sought.
“Hidden Treasure? How good is the painting so I have to get it?” sean asked thinking about the mission of the system.
The empty seat is filled. Everyone in that place was wearing luxurious formal attire. The dresses that female guests wear are so graceful and the male guests wear dark suits from renowned designers. This turned around for Sean who was just wearing a box shirt.
Shortly after, the lights above the atrium went out and a bright light was highlighted just above the stage. A host stood up and started opening the auction. He auctioned off a variety of quality items, ranging from pottery, sculptures, brass and many items to a painting.
Sean smiled as the host began to show a painting under the name ‘Hidden Treasure.’
“Really! It's not wrong if it's a painting that I have to get.” Inner Sean is so enthusiastic.
The small painting does not look very expensive. Just a painting with bright colors colliding with each other. However, Sean doesn't care about that, he has to get it at all costs.
The auction session begins! The lowest price of the painting was 10 million rupiah.
Beyond its cheap-looking appearance, the host puts up the lowest price with a fairly high nominal. However, not many people are interested in that.
Sean raised his hand at a fairly high price for a first offer. “20 million rupiah.”
Sean's eyes went around, all the participants in his seat seemed silent and did not plan to give a price, but it was very profitable for Sean. He can get the painting for a low price.
“25 million rupiah.” A man in a hat suddenly raised the price.
The man sat at the very end of the line. His appearance was wearing all black clothes and covered his face with a slightly striking hat. However, from his voice it sounded that he was a young man of Sean's age
The host clapped his hands satisfied with the auction. His expression showed that the price of the item was beyond his expectations. “Who else wants to install price?”
Sean can't just give up. The value of 1 billion in the ATM - it does not mean the price that is being competed.
“40 million.” Sean doesn't want to lose his target.
However, the man wearing the hat was calm. He raised his hand back with a fantastic price for a painting. "100 million rupiah.
The hosts cheered in satisfaction at the price the man in the hat gave. "Waow! Look the price has reached 100 million, how? Does anyone dare to compete on price?”
Sean was astonished by the offer of 100 million for just a painting that is not famous.
It seemed, Sean's opponent was really interested in the painting, or did the painting have a high value?
The hammer was almost knocked and Sean almost lost the item. It could be severe if he does not get it, the punishment given by the system will be even more severe.
"300 million rupiah? The mysterious man again increased the price without hesitation.
Hearing that, all the guests suddenly quieted down and again chattered about the 300 million offered, unlike Sean who was thinking hard.
Sean massaged his forehead slowly, he was thinking how his opponent easily gave a high bid. At least that person has a lot of money and it could be that he is one of the next generation of conglomerates that is joining.
How else ... "500 million rupiah."
The audience was stunned. They whisper about the value of the painting and re-compare Sean's simple appearance.
"Can he not give good judgment?" One of the men talked about Sean to the person sitting next to him.
"How's this? That kid will definitely get a big loss." The other man commented.
"I think he just wants to waste his money." The young woman responded with a joke.
"Will the boy pay for it? I thought he was kidding." Others are suspicious.
Their whispers rang out to Sean's ears, but the young man ignored their words.
What they say is not really wrong, but whatever the way Sean has to get the thing despite having to take half of his 1 billion.
Seen so far, his opponent gave no movement. He seemed to have given up and missed the painting Sean had.
The hammer is tapped and with this Sean wins the auction. Everyone pretended to clap and the auction went back on.
***
After the event was over, Sean paid for the painting through a bank account. The auctioneer showed up close a painting he called 'Hidden Treasure'.
Sean simply blinked over the painting he had just bought. The painting with a size of 80x80 has no special features and only bright colors that collide with each other. The objects in the painting are not clearly visible, they are all so abstract.
"Why did I buy this painting with 500 million?" his mind is a little sorry. However, all was unwilling to think anymore, the important thing for him right now was to complete daily missions.
[Congratulations! You have completed daily missions]
[Gift: .. loading]
The system window popped up, Sean couldn't wait to see the reward the system would give him.
[Gift: Art studio 'SH Studio']
"Wow studio!" Sean jubilant.
The gift of an art studio is worth half a billion dollars spent on a mission.
[It's in Sean Herdian's possession]
[Time limit: As long as the user is tied to the system]
[Studio key will be delivered soon]
"Satisfied," he commented.
Sean immediately filled out the administrative data and gave the studio address so that 'Hidden Treasure' could be sent to the auctioneers.
After finishing all the business at the auction, Sean immediately went home. Zavier met Sean after he arrived.
"There's another package for you." Zavier handed over a package that was smaller in size than before.
Sean received the package after saying thank you and returned to the room.
On his desk he opened the thing and a key was inside. "My new studio key is here. I didn't expect it this fast!"
Sean's expression seemed satisfied, but his attention was fixed on the object on Luis' table. A black hat that was no stranger to Sean was in that place.
Sean recalled about his competitive opponent at the auction. The hat was similar to what the stranger used, but was it really Luis?
"No way, surely the hat was sold in many stores." Sean tried to think of another possibility.
