Chapter 258
"Grandfather, what should we do? Someone is working against us!"
The white-bearded grandfather shook his head and sighed softly, "Our luck is poor, Nishang; we have encountered a rival."
Nishang's anger flared, and she suddenly spoke into the private room's loudspeaker: "30 million!"
Boom!
All the customers were shocked by this intense bidding war!
What was going on?
The main evening auction hadn't even started yet, and it was already this explosive?
And they were bidding on nothing more than a useless trinket!
Did these people have too much money and nowhere to spend it?
Qin Feng also smiled and said indifferently, "40 million!"
The two went back and forth, giving the host no chance to speak!
"45 million!"
"50 million!"
Hiss!
The guests present all gasped!
This was madness!
Spending 50 million on such a useless item.
It was simply the behavior of a spendthrift!
If there were ranks for spendthrifts,
this fool in the main hall bidding 50 million would surely have the strength of a Saint-level spendthrift!
When Qin Feng bid 50 million, the fifth-floor private room fell silent.
Only then did the host react.
An item that all the experts, including their own auction house, hadn't been optimistic about,
had actually sold for the high price of 50 million!
Damn it, they had struck gold, stepped in dog shit luck, and found a sucker!
"A mark, this is a legendary big mark!"
The host was overjoyed internally, but said aloud: "50 million!"
"50 million, going once! Is there any higher bid?"
This time, the host deliberately sped up.
He knew the VIPs on the fifth floor likely wouldn't follow up.
Finding one sucker was already incredible.
One shouldn't expect everyone to be a sucker.
"50 million, going twice!"
"50 million, going three times!"
Clang, clang, clang...
When the hammer fell, it signified the transaction was complete!
"Congratulations to the VIP in seat 189 for winning the 【Puppet Legion】 created by a Saint-level expert!"
Qin Feng remained expressionless upon hearing the hammer fall, feeling a bit bored.
"I thought you would keep bidding, but that's all you had."
50 million compared to 10 billion was just a drop in the bucket!
A mere trifle.
But the customers present didn't think so.
They thought to themselves, "A lunatic."
"The expert in 189 is either a lunatic or a sucker."
"In any case, not a normal person."
"Stay away from such lunatics in the future, don't let him drive up the prices."
"Why does 189 look more and more like a shill for the auction house..."
Chapter 51: People in the Starry Sky! Adopting a Tribe as Minions!!!
Inside the fifth-floor private room.
"Grandfather, the 【Puppet Legion】 was snatched away!"
The young girl Nishang's eyes turned red, feeling very frustrated.
The white-bearded grandfather shook his head and said, "You were impulsive just now."
The young girl Nishang took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I couldn't control myself."
"But I see the finale item of the auction seems to be a group of slaves."
"Among them are peak Semi-Saint experts and a million tribespeople."
"If I can win them, they should become a great help to me!"
The white-bearded grandfather nodded and said, "It will indeed strengthen your tribe's power."
"Then I will win the finale item!"
The auction continued.
When it came to the 【Super Space Channel】, Qin Feng acted again.
Lu Feng obediently raised the number plate.
The host had been paying attention to this side intentionally or otherwise.
After all, there was a spendthrift here.
He saw it immediately and said:
"VIP 189 increases the bid! 11 million, is there any higher bid?"
At this moment, all the customers heard that familiar number 189 bidding again.
Their hearts skipped a beat.
"This lunatic is acting again."
"Yeah, I really don't understand why he wants these useless things. Wouldn't it be easier to just take a star-sky teleportation array in another plane?"
"Heh, maybe he's thinking of having a massive army cross planes; this expert is quite interesting."
The lingering influence of 189 was still there.
No expert was willing to go head-to-head with Qin Feng at this moment.
So Qin Feng added 15 million star source crystals himself and took the 【Super Space Channel】.
Because the reserve price had to be at least 15 million star source crystals.
"Another one in the bag."
"The feeling of having money is just different!"
Qin Feng was overjoyed internally, though he only smiled on the surface.
"He acted again." The young girl Nishang also noticed the situation with 189.
This expert in the main hall was very eccentric.
Despite having such wealth, he stayed in the main hall and even competed with her for items.
The young girl Nishang had no good feelings toward Qin Feng at all.
The subsequent auction was a bit dull.
Several items in the middle even failed to sell.
Because everyone wanted to save their money for the main city auction in the evening.
After all, it was the final grand finale auction.
The whole city was buzzing that the main auction had many top-tier treasures.
So these guests only regained interest when the finale item was brought on stage.
It was a group of experts whose entire cultivation was suppressed by special bracelets.
They were generally tall and strong.
A fierce aura emanated from them, which could not be blocked even with their cultivation sealed.
"The Tara Tribe!"
Qin Feng carefully examined the Tara Tribe experts on stage.
The host spoke: "Distinguished guests, what is on stage now is the finale item of our branch auction!"
"The Tara Tribe!"
"You may not have read the auction brochure."
"Let me briefly introduce them: the Tara Tribe is a group with hundreds of millions of people."
"Historically, they have produced a Saint-level expert!!!"
What, a Saint-level expert!
Below the stage, countless customers were shocked by this statement.
They indeed hadn't read or hadn't carefully read the auction brochure.
So hearing this, they were stunned.
A tribe that once possessed a Saint-level expert had now fallen to the point of becoming slaves!
Becoming an auction item—how miserable must they have been?
The host explained:
"The Saint-level expert of the Tara Tribe perished in the 【Chaos Sea】 in a distant era!"
Hiss!
The Chaos Sea!!!
All the experts who knew the terror of the Chaos Sea felt their hearts tremble.
Only then did they realize.
So the Tara Tribe's Saint-level expert had courted death by going to the Chaos Sea.
No wonder they perished so easily.
One must know that the power of a Saint-level expert is far beyond what non-Saint-level experts can comprehend.
The general data on the deaths of Saint-level experts
shows that most are due to battles between Saint-level experts or entering the 【Chaos Sea】.
In ordinary endless starry sky secret realms, very few Saint-level experts die from adventuring.
The host continued: "And because the Tara Tribe offended a Saint-level family of the current plane,"
"hundreds of millions of their people were wiped out!"
"Now, only these million Tara tribespeople remain."
The host shouted: "The Tara Tribe mainly practices the path of body cultivation!"
"Among them are peak Semi-Saint experts, Semi-Saint experts, and Super-God level experts."
"Distinguished guests who are interested, you may now bid!"
【Finale: Tara Tribe】 (Final Auction Item)
Starting bid: 20 million
Increment: 2 million/bid
Delay: 5 minutes/bid
Note: If there is a bid in the last five minutes, it will enter the delayed auction stage, delaying 5 minutes per bid.
Reserve price: 40 million
The host quickly displayed the auction information.
This was the special treatment reserved for finale items, allowing all guests to see it.
"So expensive! They only have Semi-Saint experts, yet the reserve price is 40 million!"
"My guard dog, Big Yellow, is at the Semi-Saint level, and I didn't know it was worth 40 million. The auction house is robbing people!"
"Can't afford it, can't afford it. If I have that much money, isn't it better to save it for the main auction tonight?"
"Heh, the auction house is so dark. I bet even a sucker like 189 wouldn't fall for it!"
"Ha, you people are truly ignorant.
The Tara Tribe once had a Saint-level expert; do you know what that means?
It means they have the heritage to reach the Saint level!
If one of them reaches the Saint level, a mere 40 million is nothing!"
"Give it a rest. If it were that easy to break through, would the Tara Tribe have fallen to this point?"
"Exactly, otherwise why would the Saint-level expert have sold them instead of wiping them out completely!"
Inside the fifth-floor private room.
"Grandfather, look at the Tara Tribe!"
"Their ancestor, the Saint-level expert, actually went to the 【Chaos Sea】 too!"
"Grandfather, you also perished after going to the 【Chaos Sea】!"
The white-bearded grandfather nodded and said, "Yes, it is truly a terrifying place."
"We Saint-level experts are as weak as ants in the 【Chaos Sea】.
If I hadn't made preparations before going and left behind a wisp of my true spirit, I would have died completely."
Thinking of the Chaos Sea, the white-bearded grandfather still felt lingering fear.
At the same time, he was grateful that he had left behind a wisp of his true spirit.
Although Saint-level experts are not immortal or indestructible,
they have their own strengths, and having a wisp of true spirit means there is hope to recover their strength!
As long as the opportunity arises, they can break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.
The young girl Nishang's eyes shone as she said, "This time, I must win this auction item!"
The white-bearded grandfather was thoughtful and said, "I fear it won't be that easy, but do your best."
The young girl Nishang laughed, "Only 189 has some strength to compete with us."
"He has already spent 65 million star source crystals, and hasn't bid much since."
"Maybe he's out of money."
The white-bearded grandfather just smiled and didn't speak.
"Silly child, that expert 189 is just like you, coming from a tribe in a small world."
"If I am not mistaken, he will definitely compete with you for the Tara Tribe.
He bought the puppets and the space channel, preparing to invade another plane.
He is determined to have the Tara Tribe as well!"
The white-bearded grandfather did not say these words aloud.
He only said to himself, "I wonder where he got such a deep foundation."
"This endless starry sky is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers; the water is very deep."
"Oh well, letting this girl suffer a setback is fine too."
"With my help, the girl has had it too easy."
All the customers had little interest in the final auction item.
Although they once produced a Saint-level expert,
it was only in the past.
The high asking price made the customers feel like they had entered a black shop.
One must know that Semi-Saint experts are as common as hair on an ox.
They are simply not worth that much!
Qin Feng did not use his number plate this time.
Instead, he used the loudspeaker and bid: "30 million!"
Hiss!
This spendthrift acted again.
