Chapter 1625 - 1657: Damn, It's Him Again!
Ding!
Suddenly, another crisp sound rang from below!
Whizz!
A silver ray of light flashed, landing on the disk, producing a series of crisp sounds!
Four pieces!
There's surprisingly another piece!
Seeing those glistening Star Cores on the disk, the elderly man felt a sweetness in his throat, and his mouth bled a little!
It was out of anger!
"Father!"
Witnessing this scene, Ati screamed and supported the elderly man, looking anxious!
"It's nothing!" The elderly man pushed away his son with a somber face, gently wiping the blood off his mouth!
He couldn't believe he was tricked by a young punk!
Beep!
An electronic synthesized voice sounded from the console:
"You have an unread message!"
The elderly man opened the message, and Ye Feng's cheerful voice came through:
"Oh dear, you guys are too polite. Why stop after fifty Black Crystals? Why let me have it? Is it because you know I don't have enough Black Crystals!
You're too modest! Let me calculate, a Star Stone is about four thousand Black Crystals, four Star Stones are equivalent to four thousand Black Crystals!
Four thousand Black Crystals, you just gave them to me, how generous!"
Hearing the cheeky voice in the message, Ati gritted his teeth in anger!
At the same time, there was deep regret in his eyes!
Four thousand Black Crystals...
Gone right before his eyes!
What infuriated Ati even more was having to endure Ye Feng's humiliation!
Thinking back to when he mocked Ye Feng for spending fifty Black Crystals being foolish, reality slapped him in the face!
Ati was so angry he wanted to cough blood!
Inside Room 503, Ye Feng happily looked at the four Star Cores below, feeling a bit excited!
Previously, he had worked hard to earn ten thousand Black Crystals, now he suddenly has four thousand!
It's too easy!
A smile appeared on his lips, Ye Feng thought in his mind:
"Kay, you're indeed amazing. Now we're rich again, selling these Star Cores should fetch around five thousand Black Crystals, right!"
"I advise you not to sell them!" Kay's voice echoed in Ye Feng's mind!
"Why?" Ye Feng asked, puzzled!
"These four Star Cores are extremely important for the Dark ship. With them, the Dark ship's Attack Power and concealment will be greatly enhanced, giving you security in the universe!"
Although the Dark ship's functions are strong, it's ultimately an unknown relic from ancient times, lacking advantages against advanced spaceships. These four Star Cores can compensate for this shortcoming!
Hearing this, Ye Feng paused and nodded slightly!
Even though he was slightly disappointed that the Star Cores couldn't be exchanged for Black Crystals, enhancing the Dark ship and improving his flagship performance was worth it!
As Ye Feng contemplated the four Star Cores, the scene below remained silent!
Everyone was still entranced by the shock!
Four Star Cores appearing at once, the odds are nearly one in a billion!
"It's truly a **** stroke of luck!"
Everyone glanced jealously at Room 503!
Remembering how they had mocked Room 503 earlier filled them with heartache and conflict!
Many wished they could slap themselves, regretting not joining the bidding war, thinking the four Star Cores could have been theirs!
Many were extremely upset, while envy and resentment toward Ye Feng grew!
The white-bearded elder on the auction stage paused for a long moment before confirming no more Star Cores, then took a deep breath and announced loudly:
"Four pieces! Four Star Cores!
My God, I must be dreaming!
This is simply a miracle!"
"Four Star Cores, conservatively estimated at a thousand Black Crystals each, totaling at least four thousand Black Crystals!
That's enough to buy a deserted planet!"
The white-bearded elder was very excited. After a long while, he looked up at Room 503 and announced loudly;
"According to the rules, the owner of revealed Star Cores can decide whether to auction them!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Room 503!
Star Cores are rare materials, essentially a chance encounter!
Though they envied Ye Feng's luck, they hoped he would sell the four Star Cores!
Everyone stared intently at Room 503 until finally, a red light flashed from the box!
Buzz!
"Oh~!" The instant the red light illuminated, a collective sigh echoed through the room!
The red light signifies refusal, indicating Room 503 did not intend to sell!
Realizing Ye Feng wouldn't sell, most people gave up, though many continued plotting unknown intentions!
"Alright, let's proceed with the auction. Next, we have a touch-screen computer from the Galactic Empire ready for bidding..."
Even though the four Star Cores caused a stir, they couldn't interrupt the auction's progress!
The auction continued, with Ye Feng and three girls sipping tea and watching quietly!
Half an hour later, the auction was nearing its end, only three items left!
"Alright, here's the highlight. Next, we're auctioning the Sunshine Ion Cannon made by an ancient civilization, said to be powerful enough to blast a planet during its peak!"
Upon hearing this, everyone sat upright!
Most auction attendees were pirates, and for them, nothing matters more than arming themselves!
Because powerful force means safety!
"Huh?"
The moment the Ion Cannon appeared, Kay suddenly exclaimed!
"What's wrong?" Ye Feng promptly asked upon hearing Kay's surprise!
Impressed by Kay's knowledge, Ye Feng viewed Kay as a walking encyclopedia!
Kay's reaction surely meant a discovery!
"This Ion Cannon appears not as simple as they claim..."
Hesitating momentarily, Kay said uncertainly!
"What's different?" Ye Feng asked, puzzled!
Kay frowned, saying: "Follow it closely, if possible, buy it. I'll check the data!"
Then Kay vanished instantly!
On the auction stage, the white-bearded elder observed the crowd's shifting expressions and then laughed:
"Now, I announce the starting price for this auction: starting at two hundred Black Crystals, increments not less than ten Black Crystals!"
"Two hundred ten!"
"Two hundred fifty!"
"Three hundred..."
...
The competition was fierce right from the start, with the price soaring directly upward!
Only when it reached five hundred did it slow down!
At five hundred, only two remained: Room 516 and Room 608!
"Five hundred fifty! Five hundred fifty! Room 516 with five hundred fifty! Is there anyone else?"
The white-bearded elder shouted excitedly!
But no one responded, Room 608 seemed to have given up!
Everyone thought the Ion Cannon was going to Room 516!
Room 516 was Ati's room!
"Five hundred fifty once! Five hundred fifty twice!"
Ding!
Someone else bid, followed by a large six hundred appearing on the screen!
"Six hundred!"
"Good, Room 503 bids six hundred! Room 503 bids six hundred!" The white-bearded elder shouted excitedly!
Hearing it was Room 503, in Room 516, Ati's face turned pale green, and he said furiously:
"503! Damn it, it's him again!"
