When they arrived at the black market, Lily changed her name to FuckMe because her clone was called Noob.
Her eyes fell on Fergus, and she was reminded that their slave contract had expired and said, "Since you are not my slave now you can visit Camelia as you wish."
"Thank you. I’m always at your disposal if you need me.” Fergus said, smiling at her.
He planned to stay glued to her but didn't want to be pushy and since she was focused on leveling up, he couldn't help her as it required a Hidden class.
They walked to a large black building and waited and a moment later a man appeared with short liver pate colored hair with dark eyes. He wore brown boots and a black hooded cloak and looked like a mercenary. It was Colt that Lily had talked to earlier.
“Miss Noob?” Colt asked, confused, looking at her.
"Yes, if you see a name change, you know it's me." Lily replied awkwardly.
"Understood. Come with me." Colt said not asking any further questions and they entered the building.
When they got inside, they stood in a small room with dimmed lights.
Colt looked at them and said, "I recommend you wear masks because even though our rooms are private there are still people who like to spy."
They all nodded, and Lily took a BoJack Horseman mask on. Again, she was reminded to buy more masks.
They were led into a large room which was a balcony where you could look down on a large stage. All around there were other rooms but there was a golden curtain behind which looked like a carpet of gold dust that you couldn't see through. Lily was relieved because it meant the others couldn't see into her room either. She sat right up to the edge of the balcony and looked down at the stage and saw that it was packed with people. A moment later 2 young women came in carrying a tray of various food and drinks.
"It will possibly be a long auction since there are 8 different classes where there are only 4 sets." Colt explained.
"I'm interested in gold but will keep an eye out if there is another good offer." Lily said.
"Understood. Take this. You press it if you are interested in a bid and if you do not react, we assume you only want gold for it.” Colt said.
Suddenly, a small square blue interface appeared in front of her, floating in the air. There was a YES go NO option and she understood the meaning behind them. She nodded and Colt left the room with the women. The others sat by the balcony and looked down on the stage.
Violet poured tea for Lily and handed her a cup.

“Thank you, Violet.” she said, accepting the cup.
She looked around the scene and her eyes suddenly fell on William and was surprised because a man of his status should have no interest in crafting items since he could get them from boss drops. She looked around to see if she could spot others and to her shock, she saw a man with dark brown hair and brown eyes. Even though he was wearing a black shirt, she recognized his face. He was the rude guy from Kahrlin who had added her as a friend without her permission.
What the hell is he doing here?
She thought he lived in Kahrlin and she was sure he wasn't in Dancing Dragons.
Seeing her annoying face, Fergus looked down and caught sight of the man.
"You know him?" he asked curiously.
“No, he's a rude asshole. I hate him." Lily replied, pouting, glad the man couldn't see her.
"The Fire Kylin set is special, which is why so many have turned up." said Fergus.
When Lily heard him, she wondered if she had forgotten to check the stats on the clothes when she had made them because she was so focused on getting them sold as soon as possible.
"Why don't they sit in a private room?" Lily asked.
"Because everyone knows their faces and can't possibly do anything to them." Fergus replied, chuckling.
"Get ready everyone because in 5 minutes the auction starts." said a loud male voice suddenly.
There was still no one on the stage and Lily was reminded of a theater with a speaker.
She took some green grapes and ate them while looking anxiously at the stage which was black. She could hear people sitting talking and whispering to each other as someone pointed to the stage. 5 minutes later a man appeared on it with 2 women on either side of him. The man was middle aged and wore a white hanfu and had medium long blond hair and was tall and slim. Both women were tall and slender and wore long white dresses which were short sleeved and low cut, and they had full figures and long blonde hair, blue eyes and were beautiful to look at. They each carried an empty white tray where things would be placed on guessed Lily.
"Welcome everybody. My name is Yulong. Today we have a special VIP guest, Black Star himself.” said the man loudly.
When everyone heard him, they immediately stopped talking and looked at him.
Lily didn't know why her name had to be mentioned because it wasn't to her advantage, and she didn't want any more stalkers.
“The Fire Kylin set will be sold as the last highlight of our auction so stay tuned. We start with this item which is an elixir produced by Divine Doctor Yan. It can extend your life by an extra 10 years and is sold in batches.” Yulong said and suddenly a white jade bottle appeared on the white trays the women were holding. They walked around with them on stage so everyone could see them.
People started offering different things that Lily had never heard of before but knew that a potions master was not interested in normal things and especially not gold.
So even if they had eternal life, it wasn't quite eternal if they could extend it by buying potions.
Wasn't it wrong to call it eternal life?
"Why can people prolong life?" she asked.
"Only the Hidden class has eternal life." Fergus replied.
Now it made sense to Lily hearing his answer because otherwise it would be strange if people bought it.
"How many have a Hidden class?" she asked curiously.
"It’s difficult to answer because there are many who have not revealed them. I want to shoot for 500,000-1,000,000 worldwide.” Fergus replied.
Lily knew there were about 8 billion people in the world before she died and there were only that few who had unlocked a Hidden class. She thought they were hanging on the trees but suddenly she thought of something important.
"Why is everyone at lvl 300?" she asked.
"Back then you could get to lvl 300 without unlocking a Hidden quest but later it was added as a criterion and those who are blessed now automatically get a main quest which gives them the last 50 lvls.” Fergus replied.
Lily felt cheated that she only got 10 lvls from unlocking 1 hidden class when everyone else had it so easy.
