Watching one item after another being auctioned off, Ye Chen’s face was expressionless. Orıginal content can be found at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Xiao Fan got what he liked, and as for the rest, he didn’t have much interest.
"Brother Ye Chen, what do you want? Is it that Celestial Tier Cultivation Technique?"
Xiao Fan curiously asked.
Ye Chen shook his head and smiled, "Not at all. Celestial Tier Cultivation Techniques and Seven Stars Mythical Equipment Design Map don’t interest me. I want the Dark God’s Tendrils."
"Hmm?" Xiao Fan was a bit surprised.
He thought it would be that Celestial Tier Cultivation Technique. Though he knew that Ye Chen wasn’t interested in the design map due to his high-tier weapons, he assumed that no one could refuse a Celestial Tier Cultivation Technique. Unexpectedly, Ye Chen wanted the Dark God’s Tendrils, which was truly unexpected for Xiao Fan.
Behind came a disdainful laugh: "Hehe, really good at making excuses. You still have some insight to know that the Dark God’s Tendrils are the cheapest among the few items left. But even so, it’s not something you can get. The real powerful ones here today are after that design map and Celestial Tier Cultivation Technique. The Dark God’s Tendrils are easier to grab, but don’t get your hopes up. Those with average strength still want the Dark God’s Tendrils."
"Haha, well said. Young man, it’s better to have a long-term vision. The few items left are not for you to touch. Really funny. Even our Haoxiu Alliance doesn’t dare to touch them. And you? Don’t make me laugh. Do you even have five million gold coins on you? Seriously."
Ye Chen turned slightly and glanced at the few people behind him without saying a word.
"Sigh, this Mythical Equipment Design Map is nice, but it requires many materials. Among them is a piece of Mythical Essence. This Mythical Essence is a top-tier Celestial Tier material! And the way to obtain it is nearly untraceable. The synthesis path is tough!"
A series of sighs came from the surroundings.
Just then, Old Ghost’s laughter echoed.
Old Ghost stood on stage, smiling with a spring breeze, "Gentlemen, we are now entering the final stage of the auction. There are only four auction items remaining. Everyone knows that in past auctions, the last three were always the grand finale. Originally, the finale items were fixed, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, the Dark God’s Tendrils have been squeezed out and are no longer the finale. As for what the final newly decided auction item is, we’ll keep it a secret for now, but it will definitely exceed your expectations!"
Old Ghost laughed as he spoke.
"Hmm, what? The Dark God’s Tendrils have been squeezed out? What’s going on?"
"A new auction item has been added. Does that mean it’s worth more than the Dark God’s Tendrils?"
"Didn’t you hear Old Ghost say? The last item, the final auction item — could its value surpass even the Mythical Equipment Design Map?"
"Ah! How is that possible! Having a Mythical Equipment Design Map is already a rare event, how could something more valuable than a design map appear!"
"Yeah, if there’s something like that, it should be saved for another auction as the finale item!"
"That’s true, but there’s another possibility. That is, this last impressive item isn’t from the Divine Land Commerce Association, but a private auction!"
"It’s possible! And quite likely!"
The crowd immediately became very attentive, all fully focused on the auction stage.
Some people had already begun recalibrating their auction targets.
The Chosen Alliance began to discuss among themselves.
"Fourth Brother, our target this time?"
"Changed. Forget the Dark God’s Tendrils. Let’s see what the last item is. Although Old Ghost’s strength is ordinary, his vision is acknowledged to be good. If he says it’s a good thing, it can’t be wrong!"
"Understood. Old Seven, send a message in the group for everyone to gather gold coins!"
A woman dressed in a yellow cheongsam walked out with alluring steps, holding a red tray with a black object that looked like a horn. However, it was writhing and exuded a black aura all over.
"The next auction item is called the Dark Tentacles. It was acquired in the Dark Land, and it was obtained in the deepest part, the Ultimate Dark Place. It’s a must-have for Dark Attribute Techniques, with a starting price of one million, and each increase must not be less than one hundred thousand!"
Old Ghost’s hammer fell heavily on the table, and the auction began.
Light, Darkness, Thunder are revered as the Three Sacred Attributes, and the materials needed for these three attributes are priced higher than others.
There’s no choice. These attributes are rare, so the materials used for them are also rare.
"One million five hundred thousand!"
Some braggart directly raised the price by five hundred thousand!
"Two million five hundred thousand!"
This guy is even bolder, raising the price by so much at once. Is he afraid others won’t know he’s a fool?
"Two million seven hundred thousand!"
"Four million three hundred thousand!"
"I’ll bid six million. I’m from the Dark God Alliance, and I intend to present this Dark Tentacles to my Alliance Leader, so I hope everyone will show some respect!"
A person in a black cloak wearing a black mask stood up and cupped his hands and shouted.
"The Dark God Alliance? Forget it, I’m just a lone wolf; it’s better not to compete with them!"
"I’d rather insult the Chosen Alliance than offend the Dark God Alliance! Forget it!"
Some people shut their mouths, stopping their bids.
"What’s the Dark God Alliance?"
Xiao Fan explained, "The Dark God Alliance is a pack of dogs, commonly known as treacherous bastards. If you offend the Chosen Alliance, they will openly confront you. But the Dark God Alliance, a pack of scoundrels living in darkness—offend them, and they will go to great lengths to kill you discreetly. In the Dark God Alliance, there’s a little black book known by others as the Death Note. If someone’s name is in the Death Note, they face the pursuit of the entire Dark God Alliance.
Because they live in darkness, you won’t see them, and they’ll only kill in the dark. Whoever’s name ends up in the Death Note always dies tragically for no apparent reason. That’s why nobody dares to offend the Dark God Alliance. But don’t worry, here no one sees you, and nobody knows you. We can quietly leave after the auction. So, bid without worry."
Ye Chen nodded, dismissing it. To put it bluntly, they’re nothing but clowns.
However, after the Dark God Alliance’s statement, indeed, fewer people were bidding.
Now only two people were still participating in the bidding, clearly not fearing the Dark God Alliance.
The price had already reached nine million.
"Nine million five hundred thousand!"
"Ten million!" the Dark God shouted.
"Eleven million!" someone gritted their teeth and shouted.
"Eleven million one hundred thousand!"
"Hmph!" That person snorted coldly, saying no more. Apparently, eleven million was his limit.
"Haha, if you don’t have money, don’t come out to auction, making a spectacle!" The people from Dark God laughed loudly.
They were obviously very pleased.
"Eleven million two hundred thousand!"
Ye Chen suddenly shouted.
"Hmph! Who’s that! Dare to step out, damn, shouting neither early nor late, but now just to annoy others!" The Dark God’s people stood up angrily and cursed.
