With only a few hours remaining before the auction officially began, the Midnight manor replica already housed around 380 million guests. Similar to the second segment of the auction, if one wanted to attend the first segment of the auction from within the manor replica, they needed to deposit a security fee of 10,000 MP.
That deposit could be returned entirely once the auction was over and the guest left, or it could be adjusted into any purchases made by the guests. This was a way to limit the number of guests within the replica manor, and even then the number of guests were so high.
If everything went well, Lex expected an income of hundreds or thousands of MT simply from the 1% charge to host items for auction. Then there was the income from his own auction, not to mention the resources he would get in exchange for some of his items.
As Lex walked through one of the halls of the replica manor, he could feel the excitement and anticipation bubbling in all those around him.
