Several people who had not attended last time immediately showed interest. "What is it? Tell us more."
"Hahaha, a few more friends are interested. Perhaps this thing of mine will fetch a high price today."
Black Snake quickly explained the Taunting Doll's effects, and Fat Apothecary immediately twisted the knife. "Listen carefully, my friend. Everyone... including the user!"

His words immediately jogged everyone's memories. Of course they were interested in a Beyonder Characteristic that weighed nothing even with thousands or tens of thousands
