Chapter 95: Dry Witch Auction (Part 2)

The D7-level Mechanical Race battle suit provides perfect full‑body protection; the outermost layer of the suit naturally forms an energy shield, whose power source is the energy crystals inside the suit. It can defend against attacks up to Domain Lord Seventh Tier, and ordinary Domain Lord Third Tier or Fourth Tier attacks cannot break the suit, nor can psychic force penetrate it.

"This D7-level Mechanical Race battle suit, starting price 500 billion Cosmic Coins!" GuiKeLaoZhe shouted loudly.

Such items are usually bought by Immortal strongmen for their own juniors.

The price kept soaring.

8600……12000……25600……32800……

Xiao Yu, recalling that the original text priced that Mechanical Race battle suit at over 8 Mixed Yuan Units, casually entered the figure 4.3 Mixed Yuan Units.

Suddenly the number on the big screen froze at '43 000 billion Cosmic Coins'.

"43 000 billion Cosmic Coins, 3‑second countdown: 3, 2, 1—congratulations to the customer numbered KNE58564, you have obtained a D7-level Mechanical Race battle suit. The next item up for auction is…"

A Realm Lord standing nearby, looking past Luo Feng toward Xiao Yu's direction, could not see Xiao Yu's face clearly but could tell that Xiao Yu's strength was modest.

The Auction Event progressed day by day, with a large number of items sold each day, and soon even the final hundred marquee items were bought off by strong individuals one after another.

Before leaving the Auction Event, payment must be submitted, while the items themselves must be transferred in the real world.

When paying, a real‑world delivery address must be filled in; after Xiao Yu paid 46 710 billion Cosmic Coins, the address entered was: Dry Witch Star Zone, Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, Silver Blue Empire, Bai Lan Star Warehouse Base.

In this Auction Event, Xiao Yu bought two sets of Lan Ke fruit and a D7-level Mechanical Race battle armor set.

【4】 Fifteen days later, Xiao Yu, Luo Feng, and Hong boarded a D9-level Guotai spacecraft bound for Bai Lan Star.

Fifteen days later, Xiao Yu, Luo Feng, and Hong boarded the D9-class Peaceful State spacecraft and headed for White Orchid Star.

Lei Shen did not come to Bai Lan Star this time, remaining on Earth to continue cultivation; previously Lei Shen felt his Thunder Domain had reached the Fourth Layer, and he sparred with Xiao Yu several times, but each time he could not last three seconds and could not withstand Xiao Yu's technique.

The stimulus made Lei Shen train even harder.

Bai Lan Star, a warehouse base battered by wind and snow.

The wind and snow at the warehouse base had been ongoing for dozens of days, and the ground was already piled with at least two meters of snow.

Xiao Yu, Luo Feng, and Hong walked ahead, followed by the Universe-level Ninth Tier slave Di Fan that Luo Feng had purchased; the four of them trudged through the snow toward the beautiful spacecraft in the distance, a vessel belonging to the Virtual Universe Company.

"Customer identity confirmed, transaction possible."

Three staff members of the Virtual Universe Company's Dry Witch Auction House, dressed in white robes, each verified the three customers' identities and handed the boxes to Xiao Yu and his companions one by one.

Xiao Yu gestured, storing his two boxes into the Space Ring; Hong and Lei Shen did the same beside him.

"Esteemed customers, thank you for your support of the Virtual Universe Company."

After shaking hands with Xiao Yu and the others, the Virtual Universe Company staff departed immediately, and Xiao Yu and his companions then flew back to the warehouse base, the docking area of the Guotai spacecraft.

"Let's go, back to Earth."

A jet‑black spacecraft surged into space, accelerated to light speed, completed a cosmic jump into the Dark Universe, then kept accelerating until it reached three times light speed before stopping.

——

At the edge of the Beta star system, on a white dwarf star 3,000 km in diameter, a three‑meter‑tall man with slightly pointed ears and a knife‑carved face, clad in a dark‑green battle suit, sat cross‑legged, cultivating.

Ten kilometers away, a middle‑aged man with blue‑green scales on his face, a sharp horn on his forehead, and two crossed battle blades on his back, watched the surroundings coldly, acting as a guard for the cultivating green‑clad man.

Suddenly, the green‑clad man sprang to his feet, laughing wildly: "Ha ha, ha ha!"

The blue‑scaled man swiftly flew toward the green‑clad man, and upon reaching him, bowed respectfully: "Master! Have you broken through?"

"Ha ha! Not bad. I have now broken through to Domain Lord Level," the green‑clad man laughed maniacally.

"Congratulations, Master; felicitations, Master," the blue‑scaled man said excitedly, "Our Nuo Lan Mountain clan is finally saved."

"Ming Yu, Xiao Yu, watch this: no matter how many times you destroy the Nuo Lan Mountain clan, as long as I am still here I can recreate a brand‑new Nuo Lan Mountain clan. Revenge is not far away," the green‑clad man looked up at the distant starry sky, "I also have to thank you; if you hadn't driven me into such a desperate situation, I wouldn't have entered Domain Lord Level so quickly. Ha ha!"

"Master, that Ming Yu is a commander on Sanfu Mountain; he's still beyond our comparison," the blue‑scaled man whispered.

"Don't worry, Bai Ka Luo, your teacher hasn't gone senile yet; even if I reach Domain Lord Level, I'm still not a match for that Ming Yu for now, but being unable to deal with Ming Yu doesn't mean we can't handle a tiny Earth," the green‑clad man said gloomily, lowering his head, "All of this ultimately traces back to Xiao Yu, that tiny star‑class worm."

"Bai Ka Luo, you're the only one I can trust by my side now; you and I will go to Earth first, kill Xiao Yu and the others, claim the Earth's treasure, then find a place to cultivate properly."

"Master, ever since I sold myself to the Nuo Lan Mountain clan, I have resolved to follow your path for life," the blue‑scaled man Bai Ka Luo said.

——

In the Dark Universe, inside the Guotai spacecraft traveling at three times light speed.

In the quiet chamber, Xiao Yu sat alone on a seat; in the center were metal boxes. Opening the first box revealed crystal‑clear containers, each holding an extremely delicate fruit still beaded with dew—the Lan Ke fruit.

Although these Lan Ke fruits are not as potent as Life fruits, they can be used to cultivate plant life, and two sets are fully sufficient to raise Xiao Yu's Mo Yun vine to Universe-level Ninth Tier.

He casually picked up a box, gently brushed his left wrist with his right hand, and softly called, "Xiao Mo."

A pocket‑sized Mo Yun vine emerged from under his skin; Xiao Yu opened the box, gave the Lan Ke fruit to the vine, which, sensing the massive life force of the treasure, instantly extended two long tendrils to wrap the fruit, and in the blink of an eye the Lan Ke fruit vanished.

The Mo Yun vine then re‑hid beneath Xiao Yu's skin, sleeping while absorbing the fruit's life force.

With the Mo Yun vine now at Universe-level Third Tier, it can absorb one Lan Ke fruit in two days; two sets would be exhausted in just over a year.

Xiao Yu flicked his right hand, and the metal boxes containing Lan Ke fruits were once again stored in the Space Ring, leaving only a single box in the quiet chamber.

Xiao Yu nervously opened the final massive box; inside, a black metallic‑lined battle armor floated, its original size enormous, as if made for a five‑meter‑tall giant.

On the chest of the armor was a palm‑shaped indentation—the core of the D7-level Mechanical Race battle suit; Xiao Yu inserted his right hand and initiated the owner‑recognition protocol.

A beam of light emerged from the helmet's eye sockets, sweeping toward Xiao Yu to record his biological data, while his right hand felt a sting as several fine needles pierced his skin.
