BXBX NOVEL Chapter 243 Intense Bidding
Chapter 243 Intense Bidding
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."
"I\'m Olivia, the auctioneer for the night."
"Now, without further ado, let me present the first item."
Olivia then pushed out a table with an exquisite compass on top.
"Abyss Navigator Compass!"
"Hiss, an Initiate abyss treasure!"
"Tsk, tsk, this should be fun."
"Hahaha, those VIPs should be in the hot seat right now!"
The crowd below chattered excitedly as the first item was presented.
...
In the private suite, Maximus was a bit puzzled seeing the commotion.
"What is that?"
"Abyss Navigator Compass is just a real-time map of the abyss," Skye said, dismissing it.
"Oh, a real-time map?" Maximus became interested.
It seemed like a trivial thing.
But in the abyss, it was a life-saving artifact.
Most parts of the abyss are like a jigsaw puzzle, always moving.
If not for the beacon coordination array in each outpost, people would get lost in the abyss.
Having a real-time map can not only help you find resources more efficiently but also ensure your safety.
...
Soon, Olivia also explained the function of the Abyss Navigator Compass.
The Abyss Navigator Compass is a modified abyss initiate treasure born directly in this world.
It can provide a real-time map of the abyss within a one million-kilometer radius.
Although it\'s not very clear, you can only see rough terrain.
It was a sought-after item, especially for those with private outposts.
With it, It is quite easy to find resources while avoiding large groups of abyss hordes.
"Now, as for the first bidding price, it would be a billion crystal merits."
"1.5 Billion!"
"2 billion!"
"3 billion!"
"4 billion!"
"5 billion!"
"Tsk, tsk, the peasants are bidding joyfully," an individual from VIP suite no. 22 jeered.
"Haha, let them enjoy for a while; later, they will know what despair is," the VIP from suite no. 23 agreed.
Soon, the bid reached over 100 billion and began to slow down.
This is already a thousand times more expensive than the normal initiate treasure.
However, the people in the VIP room have still not yet bid.
"103 billion!"
Soon, a few seconds of silence began.
"Are the other bidders?"
"Going once!"
"Going twice..."
The one who bid 103 billion was already euphoric, imagining bringing home the treasure.
However, to his despair, a slight mocking voice came from the VIP room.
"Hehe, let the fun begin, 1 trillion!" A voice from VIP in room no. 23
"Hold your horses, boy, 1.5 trillion!"
"You two don\'t compete if you don\'t have enough money, 3 trillion!"
VIPs from room no. 11-100 engaged in an intense bidding competition with each other
"Fuck, the VIPs are moving!"
"Damn, this year again! Is our disparity of wealth really big?"
"Don\'t compare yourself to them; what they eat in one meal may be more than what your blood and sweat earn for a year!"
"Hiss, I don\'t want to be rich. Just give me a trillion, and I\'ll be happy for life!"
"Just dream you have everything there."
Soon, while the crowd below chattered among themselves, the bidding price reached 29 trillion.
...
In VIP Room No. 3:
Maximus, who was planning to bid for the Abyss Navigator\'s compass, stopped.
Although He could still afford the current bid, it\'s unnecessary.
His goal is the abyss source, all the other things, and passing clouds to him.
If he can easily afford it, he will buy it; if not, he will give up.
While he was thinking, a supreme VIP from Room No. 9 bid 40 trillion.
"These supreme VIPs are really rich," Maximus couldn\'t help but sigh.
As for the VIPs from room no. 11-100, they already shut up like quails.
Their assets are only about 30 trillion.
As for the Supreme VIP, a hundred trillion is just the bare minimum.
"Tsk, tsk, I really want to rob that VIP from Room No. 9," Skye muttered greedily.
"Haha, you wish!" Maximus rolled his eyes.
Although various anti-detection arrays were in place, he still felt the overwhelming aura in VIP Room No. 9.
Although it was not as strong as the clones of those ancient apex sovereigns, Maximus was sure that it was a bona fide apex sovereign.
Basically, in Supreme VIP Room Nos. 1, 2, 7, and 9, there is an apex sovereign being who came to join the fun.
...
Soon after, the bid stopped at 71 trillion, a bid from VIP Room No. 9.
"71 trillion! Are there other bids?"
"Going once."
"Going twice."
"Sold to our Supreme VIP No. 9!" Olivia happily said.
The final price of the Abyss Navigator compass is quite satisfying.
Although it\'s not the highest in history, it\'s already quite good.
The less fortunate people below also chattered excitedly at the price.
Only in this auction could they probably hear prices that range to trillions like it\'s nothing.
"Tsk, what a show of wealth!"
"Does anyone know the big shot above?"
"Oh, I know!"
"It\'s Your Majesty, Lysarian Silverleaf, the ruler of Silverleaf Domain."
"Oh? The one who became an apex sovereign this epoch?"
"Tsk, tsk, how envious. Just after reaching tier 9, you can already have this kind of wealth."
"How I wish I could reach that state one day."
"Unfortunately, there is no wishing fairy or wishing god here, only abyss monsters."
The crowd finally chattered about the identity of the super-rich man in VIP Room No. 9.
...
In VIP Room No. 3:
Maximus was also a little shocked to hear that Lysarian Silverleaf resides in VIP Room No. 9.
This is the true genius of this era.
If Maximus could be called a genius at the junior level, then Lysarian Silverleaf is a super genius in the major league.
This man defeated all the odds, reaching what others couldn\'t get even in a lifetime.
Although it\'s easier to be promoted to tier 9 now than in the past, the milestones needed to achieve it are still challenging.
This is proven by the fact that in the Etherium realm, there are only less than 10 thousand apex sovereigns in all the continents combined.
As for using Crystal Merit or God\'s Authority to be promoted to tier 9, it\'s fake.
What is needed for tier 9 is not merely power but the control of the law.
Without it, you\'re just a worthless imitation achieved through various drugs.
Otherwise, with Maximus\' current asset, reaching tier 9 is just a click of a button.
...
After the commotion, the auction continued.
One by one, rare resources, items, and treasures were sold.
Unfortunately, this time, there was no more fierce competition.
None of the VIPs moved this time.
It seems that all of them are waiting for the finale.
...
A few hours later,
"Now, for our main event!"
"We present this Normal Quality Abyss Source to you," Olivia said.
Although it was labeled normal, the crowd\'s reaction was not normal at all.
After being purified, this thing can directly upgrade their talent, affinity, weapons—everything in their possessions.
This is an omnipotent resource that can change their destiny.
Unfortunately, looking at the VIP Rooms, they can only smile wryly and dream about it.
"For the starting bid, 1 Trillion Crystal Merits!"
"1.2 trillion!"
"1.5 trillion!"
"1.6 trillion!"
"1.8 trillion!"
"2.1 trillion!"
The VIPs from rooms 11-100 fought fiercely, adding hundreds of billions at a time.
This time, they were more serious not to overspend.
It was unlike earlier when they knew someone would buy it even if it reached a sky-high price.
Although a tier 7 abyss source is rare, it\'s only worth around 10 trillion.
Any more than that would be a waste of resources.
...
In VIP Room No. 3:
Maximus was also geared up, focusing on the rising price of the Abyss source.
"5.3 Trillion."
"7.7 Trillion."
"9.2 Trillion."
"10.3 Trillion."
Soon, there was a pause, causing the Auctioneer to look around to see if anyone was still bidding.
Maximus knew it was his time and bid.
"13 Trillion!"
There was another pause as people in VIP Rooms No. 11 to 100 looked to see if someone from another Supreme VIP room would bid.
Unfortunately, they would be destined to be disappointed.
Maximus had already analyzed all the psychology of those in the VIP Room when they were fighting to bid earlier.
Except for VIP Room No. 1, No. 2, and No. 7, who were apex sovereigns and didn\'t bid until now, all were within his calculation.
13 trillion is just right, in the sweet spot, not too high, not too low.
"Are there other bidders?"
"Going Once!"
"Going Twice!"
"Sold to Supreme VIP No. 3!"
"One down!" Maximus smiled at his successful purchase.
"Why are you smiling happily? You just paid extra for a tier 7 abyss source," Skye complained.
"Hehe, so what about a few extra trillion? It\'s just a little money," Maximus shook his head, not taking the money to heart.
If not for being too high-profile, he would buy a tier 7 abyss source, even at the cost of 100 trillion.
This tier 7 abyss source can provide him with a hundred million system points.
Any money he spent was worth it.
