Chapter 177

Once resources are sufficient, he will be able to mobilize more of the population for militarized training.

This will greatly strengthen the territory's combat capabilities, making him much more composed when facing invasions or attacks from other lords in the future.

After all, Sardo in the West District has been in hot pursuit.

And the Middle and North Districts, which have remained silent, also force Chen Ping to pay attention.

With about a thousand points left, Chen Ping does not intend to spend them.

Mainly because there is nothing decent to buy, so it is better to keep them.

For the rest of the time, Chen Ping sat in his seat and enjoyed the auction like a bystander.

It must be said that the further the auction goes, the more eye-catching the items become.

And the big spenders appeared one after another, starting with bids of ten thousand points, and later starting directly at fifty thousand.

Chen Ping found it quite thrilling to watch.

In his previous life, he could only see such scenes in movies and television; in this life, he finally experienced it in person.

The noisy environment, with big shots making moves and the crowd cheering, is indeed capable of stimulating people's desire to consume.

Items on the consumption list were bought up in large quantities by excited people.

It was as if they were participating in the big shots' bidding just by buying a few things.

During this time, the Druid uncle sitting next to Chen Ping also made a bid for an item.

In the end, he bought a piece of wood heart for two million points, which contained the divine power essence of the Nature God.

And after winning this item, he never made another move.

He had participated this time specifically to win this item.

The item with the highest final auction price was a golden bracelet.

The auctioneer stated bluntly that it was the bracer of the War God!

It not only possessed the power of a god but also contained the god's insights into combat.

The starting bid was five million points.

Chen Ping had seen this item on the list earlier and originally thought that with such a high price, not many people would bid on it.

As it turned out, several big shots among big shots emerged, directly driving the price up to nine million eight hundred thousand!

Finally, after a big shot in one of the private rooms called out a price of ten million, the entire venue fell into a stupor.

Chen Ping couldn't help but sigh; these are the people at the very top of this world...

While some are still struggling to find a lord quota, the big shots at the top spend ten million points at every turn.

The points in the auction house cannot be compared to the gold coins of the outside world; their purchasing power is at least ten times higher.

Ten million—Chen Ping doesn't even know what he could arm his territory to look like if he were given ten million.

At the very least, sweeping through the Lord Trial should be an easy matter.

Small, my vision was small.

Chen Ping shook his head; the self-satisfaction brought by leading the way in the Lord Trial vanished without a trace.

Replacing it was a yearning for the true top-tier circle of this world.

One day, he too will step into this circle!

What is the Wang family? They aren't even fit to carry shoes in front of this!

While all the apprentice lords still had their eyes locked on the trial, Chen Ping had already seen much further.

Even further than lords with noble backgrounds like Sardo.

This is one of the purposes of his coming to participate in this auction.

Only by truly witnessing the top of this world will one understand just how powerful this world is.

Only then can one be given enough motivation to walk the path ahead more clearly.

"Kid, you see it now, every person bidding in this round is a top-tier figure in this world."

"I don't know how you entered the auction or who recommended you, but your level is still far from enough."

"If I discover that seed in the Main World, then you had better be careful."

The Druid next to him said to Chen Ping in a sinister tone.

Chen Ping just shook his head.

"Meaningless intimidation is useless. I can guarantee that if you go out and search the entire Human Alliance, you won't be able to find me."

Chen Ping looked at the Druid; he was not lying.

He is still participating in the Lord Trial, and there are two years left until the trial ends.

How could the Druid possibly find him?

The Druid was bluffed by Chen Ping's attitude and was somewhat suspicious and uncertain for a moment, not knowing where Chen Ping's confidence came from.

Just at this moment, as the last auction item concluded, many lords had already stood up to leave.

Some went to the lounge, preparing to use the items they had bought.

Others were preparing to return to their territories.

Almost half the people in the entire auction venue left at once.

The auctioneer on the stage waited for a good while, and after confirming that those remaining were not planning to leave, snapped their fingers.

The venue began to shrink, the surrounding lights began to dim, and only the lights on the central stage became brighter.

125: The Grand Finale, the Impact Brought by Dimensional Fragments

"Next is the grand finale of this auction."

"Given the special nature of this segment, all distinguished guests who wish to participate must self-implant a Mystery Rune."

After the auctioneer finished speaking, a strange rune appeared in front of everyone who remained.

Just looking at this rune made one feel dizzy.

"The Mystery Rune will block the content of the following segment from remaining in your minds after implantation."

"Unless you participate in the content of this segment, you will have no memory of this part after leaving."

Mystery Rune.

This thing is like a blocking plugin.

Once implanted in the mind, although you can still watch what happens next, it will not truly be retained in your memory.

Once you leave the auction, the Mystery Rune stays behind, and this memory naturally stays behind as well.

Chen Ping is very interested in this Mystery Rune; it involves knowledge of mysticism, consciousness, and even the origin.

It is a high-stage application of these fields of knowledge; if he could take it back to study, Chen Ping would also benefit greatly.

But this is impossible.

Chen Ping pinched the rune and pressed it against his brow, and the rune disappeared.

He simultaneously felt a chill in his mind in the real world; clearly, the Mystery Rune had taken effect.

Seeing that everyone had implanted the Mystery Rune, the auctioneer bowed to everyone and exited the stage.

At this time, the stone pillar on the stage had long since descended, leaving only a spacious and bright platform.

Footsteps slowly emerged from behind, and the curtain at the back of the stage was drawn open.

A person wearing a vermilion cloak and a tall hat, nearly a meter high, appeared on the stage.

Their face was deeply hidden in the shadow beneath the high hat, making it impossible to see clearly.

As for their height, build, and so on, they were also obscured by the cloak.

Even the person's voice had been adjusted.

Because what Chen Ping heard was a strange, echoing voice, as if it came with its own electronic effect.

"Distinguished guests, please forgive me for hiding myself like this."

"I found the Dimensional Trading Auction and requested to participate in their puzzle segment to seek answers."

"If anyone can solve the following puzzle, I will provide them with a sufficient reward."

"The reward will be determined by the degree to which you can solve it."

Puzzle.

This is the name the Dimensional Trading Auction has given to this segment.

In this segment, they bring in people or things with difficult problems.

And let the big shots participating in the auction find ways to solve them.

Generally, those who can participate in the puzzles are extremely profound problems, not something ordinary people can participate in.
