Chapter 42: Insect-Type Attribute Treasure—Silver Powder!

"I have a fossil Little Spirit; can I take it to the auction?"

A ten‑thousand ticket—that's not cheap.

If it can't be auctioned and I have no money on hand, then it's just spending money to watch a show, right?

"Sure!"

The man in black pulled a ticket from his chest and handed it to Lin Mo: "One hand pays, the other takes the ticket!"

"Here!"

Lin Mo didn't hesitate much, directly pulling a stack of cash from the bag and handing it over.

Holding the rough ticket, Lin Mo stepped on the moldy wooden stairs, climbing step by step to the second floor.

Unlike the first floor, which was packed with stalls, the second floor was a refined platform.

Dozens of chairs were arranged below.

On the stage stood a gracefully slender woman, explaining the auction items.

Although the woman wore a black veil, her bright eyes were truly captivating.

Ding‑dong! A water‑attribute fruit—Mist Lotus Fruit—detected twenty meters ahead!

Mist Lotus Fruit: a water‑attribute fruit; after a Water-type Small Spirit uses it, strength and aptitude can be increased!

Aptitude can be raised up to Quasi King Level!

Hearing the System Prompt Sound in his ears, Lin Mo's eyes brightened.

It turned out to be a rare attribute fruit.

Unfortunately, Lin Mo is currently short on funds, and moreover the two Little Spirits don't need it.

Lin Mo didn't bother to join the excitement.

Instead, they found a chair and sat down steadily with a thump.

"Nine hundred thousand for one!"

"Nine hundred thousand for two!"

…

As the shouts rose one after another, finally the fire‑attribute fruit sold for nine hundred thousand.

The buyer was a short‑statured loli.

***, with a delicate and supple body.

She was indeed a rare gem.

Lin Mo stroked their chin and clicked their tongue.

"The next items up for auction won't be simple!"

The female auctioneer smiled sweetly, glanced behind, and lightly tapped her jade hand.

With a crisp clap sound.

A girl dressed in a suspender top appeared, carrying a wooden tray.

She came to stand beside the female auctioneer.

The auctioneer lifted the red cloth covering it and gently uncovered it.

"Wah‑lala!"

A pool of silvery‑white dust appeared before everyone.

"This is!!!"

"It's actually an attribute treasure!"

"I've attended three auctions, and this is the first time I've seen such a treasure!"

Hearing the gasps around them, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow slightly and looked toward the stage.

Ding‑dong! An attribute treasure—Silver Powder (fragmented)—detected twenty meters ahead!

Silver Powder: after use, it can boost the aptitude and strength of Insect-type Small Spirits.

Aptitude can be raised up to King Level!

"What!!!"

Hearing the System Prompt Sound again, Lin Mo's pupils narrowed.

Never expected to encounter an Insect-type attribute treasure here.

Attribute treasures are several times more precious than attribute fruits.

Extremely rare.

Even at a Little Spirit shop, only one or two appear per month.

And they are all pre‑reserved by major factions.

Ordinary people don't even have the right to take a look.

Although it's just a fairly ordinary Insect-type attribute treasure, its value still reaches several million.

"Although this Silver Powder is only half, it cannot boost a Little Spirit's aptitude!"

The auctioneer smiled sweetly: "But if your Insect-type Little Spirit is at the peak of the Ordinary Level or Elite Level, then you must purchase this Insect-type Silver Powder!"

"I believe after use, it will surely let your Little Spirit's strength breakthrough!"

One must admit, being an auctioneer for the Black Market does require some skill.

Those simple words made Lin Mo's heart itch.

After all, when you think about it carefully.

My Da Zhen Feng's power is at level 18, which is the peak of the Novice Level.

If one could obtain this silver powder, breaking through the ordinary rank would still be easy.

Just........

Upon thinking of the price of this silver powder, Lin Mo's desire was instantly dispelled.

"Low price 3 million!"

The female auctioneer tapped the gavel in her hand, signaling the start of the auction.

Since it was only half a silver powder, its value naturally took a big hit.

Everyone present was shrewd; for a moment no one bid.

"Xu Huaner, you can't say that!"

"The market price for a full silver powder is only 6 million; although this half silver powder weighs only half, its price cannot be calculated as 3 million!"

At that moment, a bald middle-aged man stood up.

The man was not wearing a tortoise hood.

His smooth face, as he spoke, also developed wrinkles at the chin.

Xu Huaner gave an embarrassed smile, then showed helplessness: "This is the starting price set by the auctioneer!"

"Besides 3 million, it could also be exchanged for another attribute treasure!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present burst out laughing.

"You want to exchange half a silver powder for another attribute treasure?"

"Isn't that just wishful thinking? Among all attribute treasures, the Insect Type's value is also the lowest!"

Hearing the mocking voices of the crowd, Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

Didn't I have a hard stone in my hand that's only one-third left?

As a Rock Attribute treasure, its value far surpasses that of silver powder.

But my hard stone is only one-third.

This makes things uncertain.

Although attribute treasures are good, if they cannot be used on the Little Spirit,

it would be in vain.

"I have a hard stone!"

Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, then stood up.

This shout instantly froze everyone present in place.

Everyone never expected that someone would step forward at this moment.

What's more, they never expected that someone would be willing to exchange a hard stone for silver powder.

"However!"

Lin Mo slowly rose to his feet, gazing at Xu Huaner, and said: "This hard stone of mine is only one-third!"

"I need to ask the owner of this item!"

Xu Huaner's eyes shifted slightly as she looked down toward the platform.

Unexpectedly, the trainer selling the silver powder was right below.

"One-third hard stone?"

Only seeing the loli who had just purchased the water system tree fruit stand up, her big, watery eyes fixed tightly on Lin Mo.

"En!"

Lin Mo nodded and, taking the opportunity, pulled out a hard stone from his bosom.

Gazing at that hard stone emitting specks of pale yellow light.

The loli girl curled her lips into a smile: "The market price for a whole hard stone is 800; you have only one-third, so the selling price is 2.4 million; you need to add another 600,000 for me!"

"???"

Hearing this, Lin Mo became unhappy.

This silver powder is clearly going to go unsold; it's not worth 3 million.

This little girl still wants to ask me for 600,000?

"If you can sell this silver powder for 3 million, then talk!"

Lin Mo shook his head and turned away directly.

He swaggered over and sat down in the chair.

Instead, he left the girl hanging there.

"You!!!"

The loli girl obviously didn't expect Lin Mo to play such a "rascal" trick.

But thinking of the crowd's indifferent demeanor,

it's obvious that no one is willing to spend 3 million to buy my half silver powder.

"Alright, alright!"

The loli girl then said: "Then I'll take a loss; let's exchange!"
