Chapter 791: What Was the Most Precious Thing in the Universe? Talents!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
However, the price had already risen at this time, and there was no reason to believe it. There were three such stones, which added up to Strength +39! It was no laughing matter!
Hence, everyone began bidding frantically.
“3.8 million!” “4 million!” “4.5 million!”
In the end, a Galaxy Aristocrat got it at a high price of 4.8 million.
Li Tianxing glared at Hong Dali condescendingly. “This fool, it’s a disgrace with him as an opponent.”
Watching the aggressive bidding and the look on the Galaxy Aristocrat’s face when he got the stone, Jiang Qianxue was shocked with her mouth open. “Who said Hong Dali is a fool? These idiots are brutal—who would have thought that he would bid for his own items to increase the price. What is most ingenious is his reputation as a prodigal. No one would have guessed he was the one who put the stone up for auction…”
Soon, bidding for the second stone begun.
With the previous stone as a baseline, everyone knew it was impossible to get it cheaply. Hence, the price was announced at 3 million. When the auction ended, the price had gone up to 4.5 million Galaxy Dollars.
The third piece, 4.6 million. The Agility +14 stone was even crazier. It was sold at 5.7 million. Reflexes +13 stone, 4.2 million.
Just like that, with five stones, 20 million went into Hong Dali’s account—a few broken stones on Earth were exchanged for an uninhabited planet with a diameter of more than 36,000km. This sale…
It was really worth it. Wahahahaha!
Those who did not know the truth laughed and talked. “Aye, such a good stone. It’s a pity I can’t get it.” “Indeed. Five top-grade stones. If we brought them to the Tower of Trials, the attributes increase will be substantial.” “Yes, yes. The base attributes are fixed. We can only depend on this to increase our attributes. Too bad I have no money.” “No choice, we’re not prodigals like Hong Dali. We need to carefully consider how we use our money.” “That’s right, that’s right.”
Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei, who knew what was going on, laughed so hard—if Hong Dali had bought the stone, he would have been an idiot!
Hong Dali touched his nose. This bunch of people sold themselves, yet they were busy calculating. It was really amusing…
Now that the five top-grade attribute gems were sold, the crowd assumed that the auction had come to an end and prepared to leave.
Before they stood up, however, the auctioneer Riga Vickers.Goldcoin suddenly shouted, “Alright. Ladies and gentlemen, let me share a piece of good news! We have received some good quality items! Really good items!”
Good items! There were still good items?!
Hearing that, everyone got curious. What other good items could there be?
Soon, everyone knew. They did not make a fruitless trip!
“Ladies and gentlemen,” The auctioneer Riga Vickers.Goldcoin shouted. “these items are really good! What is up next are pieces of equipment embedded with attribute gems! Top-grade equipment!”
Equipment embedded with attribute gems? Items that could be put up for auction here were definitely good. The important thing was that they came in a set! That was rare!
Tang Muxin said to Hong Dali softly, “Dali, this time…” Before she finished speaking, everyone should know what she meant.
Hong Dali shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. “Depends on the situation. Hehe.”
Soon, an attendant pushed a small cart and went up the stage. It was a shiny armor. The auctioneer Riga Vickers.Goldcoin shouted, “This is a set of moonlight armor, a full set! Of course, the armor is not worth much. The real reason why it is here, is the attribute stones embedded on it, a total of 17 attribute gems! All seventeen gems are attribute +11 gems! Among them, ten increase Strength, four increase Agility, and three increase Reflexes! A perfect set of armor! Perfect gems! Perfect combination!”
But this point, everyone was shocked!
A whole set of attribute +11 gems embedded?! Oh my God, what kind of person was so extravagant?!
One should know that attribute +11 gems were not difficult to get. Two or three should come available if one attended enough auctions. But this time, there was actually an entire set?!
How much would that cost?!
“Then, now, let’s begin the bidding for this set of moonlight armor,” Auctioneer Riga Vickers.Goldcoin shouted loudly. “The starting price is 2 million Galaxy Dollars. Let’s start the bidding!”
The five stones from before were individual stones. In other others, after people bought them, they had to match them with other attribute gems.
But this was different—it was a full set of attribute +11 gems. They could wear it right away after they bought it. With a good weapon, that was equivalent to 230 attribute points. The increase was very significant. Especially to the rich Aristocrats present.
Hence, people started bidding frantically. “2.4 million!” “2.7 million!” “3 million!”
In just a while, the price had gone up to 4 million. At this moment, Tianyi asked Hong Dali softly, “Brother Dali, this armor is good stuff. You’re not intending to buy it?”
This was good stuff?!
Hong Dali’s expression was strange. “Ah, no need. I don’t like to fight. I won’t buy it. You can buy it if you wish…”
When the few Honorary Aristocrats heard him, they secretly laughed at him. “This prodigal did not buy a single good item. Everything he bought was rubbish. One lousy Red Rock Grass, one overpriced planet for vacation use. Now that such a good armor is up for auction, he has no money to buy. He’s really…” “Why else would he be called a prodigal. True-blue prodigal!”
The armor’s price was now at 5.8 million. Jiang Qianxue felt weak.
As Hong Dali’s experimental girlfriend, she knew in her heart that this armor was indeed rubbish to Hong Dali. Those that he and his lackeys wore were the real deal…
She was a Galaxy Aristocrat herself. But compared to Hong Dali, she felt pathetic…
“One billion,” Li Tianxing suddenly said.
One billion! This was definitely a high price. But not too expensive for this armor—seventeen top-grade gems, one billion was only 600,000 each. This price was acceptable.
Hong Dali stared in bewilderment. “He’s a Galaxy Aristocrat, indeed. Rich and generous!”
Of course, the reason he said that was because the cost price of this armor was only about ten thousand Galaxy Dollars…
With Li Tianxing’s bid, the entire hall became silent.
They had to give Deep Waters Li Tianxing some respect. He would become one of the Nine Sha Luos in the future.
“Qianxue,” Li Tianxing played up to Jiang Qianxue. “I’ll give this armor to you. Okay?”
A set of +11 top-grade armor. It was a big gift, indeed. The problem was, Jiang Qianxue had no use for it—Hong Dali had given her an armor with +13 attributes…
“No need,” Jiang Qianxue said coldly. “I have no use for it.” With that, Jiang Qianxue immediately labeled Li Tianxing a prodigal as well. Poor Li Tianxing not only wasted his money for nothing, but he also left a bad impression on her…
…
At the same time, on Faerie Star far away.
Straight into the peak of the sky. The mountain peaks were hundreds of kilometers wide like a huge sword pierced into the sky. The clouds circled the mountain peaks. From time to time, through the gaps of the mountain peak, blue flames could be seen burning. This was the nest of Green Phoenix, Kris Sudarian.
At this moment, a person stood outside the nest of the Green Phoenix respectfully. He said in a deep voice, “Galaxy Aristocrat Ladi Rhodes.Hellfire request for an audience.”
It was Nine Sha Luos.Hellfire, here to get information!
“Come in.” The gentle voice of the Green Phoenix could be heard. “You’re here to find out about the person in the Tower of Trials?”
“Yes.” Hellfire was not at all shocked that the Green Phoenix knew his purpose in coming.
This Green Phoenix was a strong beast born in the middle of the universe. She could see a person’s past. Of course, if one wished to, she could see a person’s future as well. Her capability was far beyond anyone’s imagination. Although Hellfire was one of the Nine Sha Luos, he was nothing compared to the Green Phoenix.
Entering the Green Phoenix’s nest, Hellfire soon saw Green Phoenix Kris Sudarian in person.
It was a giant Green Phoenix over eight meters in length—of course, that excluded her tail which was more than one hundred meters long…
“Sit,” The Green Pheonix said gently. “You may ask whatever you want. As long as it does not defy the Star Alliance Treaty.”
“Thank you, respected Green Phoenix.” Hellfire cupped his fists and saluted. He asked carefully, “The person who passed all thirty levels in the Tower of Trials in our Milky Way, his gender is…”
With regard to the mysterious super-genius, the Honorary Aristocrat did not dare to directly ask about his identity. After all, he was facing a respected person. He had to take it slow. The person did not disclose information about themselves. He could only inquire secretly. Even if he found the person, he had to be careful when he came in contact with him. Whether he was willing to become an Honorary Aristocrat would have to depend on his mood.
The most important thing was, for an almighty genius like him, there was a rule in Dimu Star Sector that could not be violated—his whereabouts had to be free. He could not be forced. All information had to be kept secret. The reason for such a rule to be in place was—what was the most precious thing in the universe? Talents!
