Chapter 573 Struggle Among Various Parties
The auction for the second treasure went incredibly smoothly.
Even Xiao Weiqing himself found it hard to believe.
"Ji Sheng, you just said this Source Tree is worth 3 credits?"
"good."
"Then why isn't anyone bidding? Is there something wrong with this one?"
Ji Sheng shook his head: "It's not that I didn't offer a bid, it's that I didn't dare."
"You dare not?"
Xiao Weiqing did not understand Ji Sheng's meaning.
"Because we are in room number 4, there are only 10 of these rooms in total. Those who can get in are either rich or powerful. That's the basic requirement. The most important thing is their status."
"Do we... have the strength?" Garth asked uncertainly.
Ji Sheng's face fell. "You didn't, but I almost did."
"But Xiao Weiqing is different."
Gart gave a wry smile.
They weren't stupid. When they entered room number 4, they knew that this treatment was all because of Xiao Weiqing, including the private elevator they had taken earlier.
Ji Sheng and Gart have been here before; when have they ever received such treatment?
"They're afraid of me? Surely not."
Ji Sheng explained, "If members of the Sixth Heaven have a favorite treasure, they will fight over it, but this is just a Source Tree. As for lower civilizations, they are definitely afraid."
"Offending a top-tier sixth-level or even seventh-level member could be a devastating blow to a lower-level civilization."
Xiao Weiqing said with a wry smile, "It can't be that bad, can it?"
"You might not do that, but they dare not gamble. That's the tragedy of inferior civilizations. They have to be careful in everything they do, walking on thin ice in the universe."
"Do you think that, in the very moment we were talking, a Type I civilization in the universe might have been destroyed?"
Silence fell in the private room.
Xiao Weiqing's pupils flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Just as Xiao Weiqing and his group were talking, in private room number 1, a handsome young nobleman said to a rabbit beside him:
"Sanbai, go and find out who's in room number 4."
"OK."
Sanbai skipped and hopped out of the room.
He returned in less than two minutes, a playful look on his face.
"Master, you'd never guess who's in room number 4!"
"Who?"
"Ji Sheng from the Sixth Heaven, and Gart."
Hendrick's expression shifted slightly. "I don't recall much. Have these two made a leap in strength?"
No.
"Then..." Hendrick glared at Sanbai, "Who else is in the private room?"
"Hehe... As expected, you can't hide it from the master, and there's also Xiao Weiqing."
"Xiao Weiqing?"
Sanbai nodded repeatedly, "Master, let me tell you, after Xiao Weiqing entered the Holy Land, during the Battle of Ascension..."
Hendrick nodded slightly. "I didn't expect so many things to happen while I was gone."
"good."
This is clearly an assessment of Xiao Weiqing.
"That's right, after all, Xiao Weiqing was personally received by you, Master."
"Master, let me tell you something interesting. Although Xiao Weiqing is in the sixth heaven, his authority is equivalent to that of the seventh heaven."
"Many people are asking about him now."
Hendrick nodded. "Understood."
hall.
The auction is ongoing.
"Everyone, please look..."
As the treasures were auctioned off one by one, more and more people placed bids.
The private rooms on the second floor also started to be priced.
In the private room on the third floor, apart from Xiao Weiqing bidding on the second treasure, no one else made a sound.
Everyone is enjoying the competition below.
"The 106th treasure."
"A martial art set in the starry sky."
Defilia's voice echoed throughout the hall, rousing everyone, including those in the private rooms on the third floor.
They certainly wouldn't care about ordinary martial arts techniques from the starry sky.
However, anything that can be offered at an auction must have something special about it, especially since the starting price for treasures is now close to ten thousand.
Defelia sensed the change in everyone's state and smiled:
"This is a...soul attack martial art."
really.
It involves the soul, or it involves offensive martial arts.
Instantly.
Xiao Weiqing sensed the imposing atmosphere emanating from each private room, indicating that another round of competition was about to begin.
Inside private room number 4.
Gart's eyes lit up.
"Do you want a martial art that attacks the soul?"
Xiao Weiqing shook his head; he had the Soul-Slaying Technique and didn't need this martial art.
Ji Sheng also shook his head. His current focus was on cultivating his Dharma Body, and he didn't need martial arts. Although the martial arts of attacking the soul were very tempting, he didn't have many credits. It was unlikely that he could master this soul technique without 3 credits.
"This soul-attacking martial art has a starting bid of 1."
"Please place your bid!"
As most people expected, the starting bid was 1.
The starting bid of 1 is the reserve price for the Seven Star Tower's Starry Sky Secret Techniques, which is definitely not cheap.
"16,000."
"16,000."
"16,000."
"..."
The situation was different from what he had imagined; at least Xiao Weiqing hadn't expected it to be like this. The bidding was exceptionally fierce.
"16,000."
"16,000."
This is the price offered by Gartner.
However, this is clearly not enough. Now the competition is for the three-story private rooms, and no one will give them up.
as predicted.
3.
Someone raised the price by 2 yuan at once; this person came from room number 9.
"3. The VIP in room number 9 has offered 3. Any more?" Defilia's uniquely seductive voice rang out.
"Is there anything else?"
"3 for the first time."
Defelia began to raise the hammer.
"16,000."
Gart made another bid.
"16,000."
The person in room 9 made another bid.
A few seconds of silence.
Defelia began to raise the hammer.
"16,000."
Before Defelia could speak...
Gart made another bid, his eyes slightly red.
"Hey, Gart, that's a bit of a loss," Ji Sheng reminded him.
Upon hearing Ji Sheng's reminder, Gart snapped out of his daze and felt a pang of regret.
"Hiss, whether I can get it or not, I'm not making an offer."
"16,500."
Room 9 made another offer, but only increased the price by 500.
Upon hearing this, Gart's expression changed slightly, and the other party also hesitated. If he raised the price, he might be able to secure the deal.
"The VIP in room number 9 has offered 33,500. Any higher bids?"
"33,500 for the first time."
"33,500 for the second time."
After thinking about it, Gart decided to give up. Earning credits wasn't easy for him, so he had to be careful.
"33,500, third time, sold."
The gavel fell, and the deal was done.
"Congratulations to the distinguished guest in room number 9."
After this treasure was auctioned off, Defelia did not proceed with the auction of the next treasure.
"The first half of the auction is now over."
Please take a short break.
"The second half of the auction will resume in half an hour. By the way, there's a great treasure in the second half."
Defelia smiled sweetly.
