Chapter 93: Qianwu Auction Event (Part 1)

After the first Secret Pattern was completed, the second Secret Pattern began to be inscribed; as the first finished, the subsequent inscriptions became faster and faster.

Soon Xiao Yu completed the sixteenth Secret Pattern and began to combine these Secret Patterns according to the inheritance.

The combination of these Secret Patterns must be finished in an extremely short time, and the order cannot be wrong by even a hair.

The first time, when combining the sixth Secret Pattern, the timing lagged a moment, and the combination failed.

……

The twentieth time, combining the sixteenth Secret Pattern, the position was off by a hair, and it failed.

……

Finally, on the hundredth attempt, it succeeded.

When the first Core appeared, an invisible aura emanated from the Core, its fluctuations enveloping the entire Knowledge Sea Space, and a soul‑born comfort swept over him.

Afterwards, Xiao Yu felt his mental operation speed double, and even the speed of comprehending the law appearing in his right eye doubled.

Suddenly, the long‑silent Wu spoke: "Xiao Yu, the time of the Qianwu Auction Event is about to arrive."

Xiao Yu's consciousness exited the Knowledge Sea Space and looked at the Smart Light Brain; it was already the evening of December 15.

"Thanks, Wu, let's enter the Virtual Universe," Xiao Yu said.

Virtual Universe, Heilongshan Island, Purple Tea Bay.

Xiao Yu's residence in the Virtual Universe is right here.

In the tea room.

Xiao Yu sipped tea poured by a Dreambe tribe beauty, while a screen floated before him, showing his mail.

Among them was a letter from Luo Hua sent twenty days ago, stating that the investment had been settled, the total assets had reached 58,280,000,000,000 Cosmic Coins, after deducting Luo Hua's remuneration. There was also a deposit reminder from the Cosmic Star River Bank.

Flying out of the castle, through a Teleportation Channel, he arrived at Nine-Star Bay on Heilongshan Island, at Luo Feng's home.

Earlier, it had already been arranged in advance with Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen.

The four set out together to the Qianwu Auction Event to broaden their horizons; if they liked something and had enough funds, they would make a purchase.

After Lei Shen obtained the Kabuu Realm Lord inheritance, he also gained his bank account, naturally of sufficient rank.

Although Hong's account was only Two-star Rank before, Xiao Yu had previously run through Hong's account before investing money with Luo Hua; although a handling fee was paid, it raised Hong's rank to Three-star Rank.

In the quiet room.

Xiao Yu, Hong, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng sat on chairs.

"Tomorrow is the Qianwu Auction Event; how is everyone's preparation?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Ah, the 10,000,000,000,000 Cosmic Coins I gained earlier, I gave my younger brother 2,000,000,000,000 for investment, I spent nearly 5,000,000,000,000 myself, and now I have less than 3,000,000,000,000 left," Luo Feng said with some disappointment.

"You can ask your brother now; he should have quite a bit, perhaps even richer than you," Xiao Yu laughed. "Big brother, what about you?"

Hong whispered: "Haha, I've been hearing from the third brother about the Qianwu Auction Event, always preparing. Earlier I handed a specialist 2,000,000,000,000 Cosmic Coins to invest in the universe; there were gains and losses, overall profit, nearly 10,000,000,000,000 Cosmic Coins. Now I can bring out over 5,000,000,000,000 Cosmic Coins, should be able to buy suitable items."

"Haha, the big brother is well prepared," Xiao Yu laughed.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, I'll go ask my younger brother first," Luo Feng said.

Luo Hua's residence in the Virtual Universe on Heilongshan Island is right next to Luo Feng's villa, where there is a wooden villa.

Luo Hua's studio is on the third floor of the villa; besides Luo Hua, there are more than twenty young men and women, all his assistants.

Half an hour later, Luo Feng returned to the quiet room, excited.

"Haha, counting what Luo Hua helped me earn and what he lent me, I now have 15,000,000,000,000 Cosmic Coins, enough to buy the items I want."

……

The entire Qian Wu Universe Country boasts its largest grand event—the Qianwu Auction Event!

Held once every three years, Xiao Yu has been looking forward for over four years; the last time there was no chance, and now he can finally attend.

Xiao Yu, Hong, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng left the Nine-Star Bay residential area, summoned a celestial horse, rode it to the teleportation point.

Inside the teleportation point, each held an invitation to the Qianwu Auction Event.

The four instantly vanished from Heilongshan Island, arriving at a floating city above the Qianwu Continent; the invitation emitted specks of light, causing the floating city's defenses to automatically open a passage, letting Xiao Yu and the others inside.

It is an exquisitely elegant land suspended in clouds and mist; the floating city's scenery is beautiful, with flowers and plants everywhere, and the most dazzling feature is the massive building—the Auction Hall.

The Qianwu Auction Event is held here.

People dressed either lavishly or plainly, some with serpentine bodies, others towering seven or eight meters, came to attend the Qianwu Universe Auction Event.

The place is a sea of people; the auction hall has sixteen entrances, each lined with long queues.

"Most of the attendees are Realm Lords, with a few big merchants and super‑backgrounded youths," Luo Feng said.

"How many Realm Lords are there?" Lei Shen exclaimed.

"The Realm Lords here should exceed one million, and there are certainly some Immortal Level ones as well," Xiao Yu said.

"On Heilongshan Mountain it's almost impossible to meet a Realm Lord, yet here there are over a million!" Hong exclaimed.

Many queued Realm Lords know each other, constantly discussing matters beyond Xiao Yu and the others' reach.

"Gentlemen, welcome! Here are your seat numbers." The four arrived together, their seats adjacent.

Xiao Yu took a token and saw a translucent screen on the black token displaying seat number KNE58564.

Entering the auction hall, Xiao Yu's first impression was: wow, huge!

The layout of the entire auction hall is like a football field on Earth, but a thousand‑times‑million times larger.

"Huge! How many seats are there? So densely packed," Lei Shen touched his shocked bald head.

"There are three million seats in total; each seat is six meters wide and ten meters high," Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Most attendees are Human Race Realm Lords, so there's no issue of not hearing or seeing. Some giant‑sized giants attend, and to avoid awkwardness, the dimensions are set like this," Xiao Yu explained.

After the four entered the grand hall, each of their faces was blurred; strangers could not be recognized at all.

Following their seat numbers, they found their places: Luo Feng to Xiao Yu's left, Hong and Lei Shen to his right.

Soon, nearly half the seats were filled by the Human Race.

Everyone.

Suddenly, a clear voice spread instantly, echoing throughout the Auction Hall; the vast Auction Hall fell silent at once, and everyone consciously stopped speaking.

In the center of the Auction Hall stood a bald old man carrying a black turtle shell on his back, and above him appeared a three‑dimensional Illusory Shadow of the old man nearly a thousand meters tall.

"Welcome everyone to this year's Qian Wu Auction Event. We thank the Virtual Universe Company, Cosmic First Bank, Cosmic Star River Bank, Great Axe Battle Arena, Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, and the Qian Wu Universe Country for their strong support," the old man smiled and said, "I believe many people know me; you may call me Lao Bato. This time, as always, Lao Bato will host for you, this top‑level grand event!!!"
