Chapter 223 223: System Secondary Development: Efficiency Booster
As soon as these professional terms came out, even those who didn't want to buy it would have their interest piqued.
The void core was almost the only opportunity to touch the Origin of space below the Divine Rank.
A complete one was, of course, the best, but it was also more stable and harder to comprehend.
A damaged one was dangerous but easier to comprehend. The drawback was its extremely short validity period, making it not worth it if too expensive.
"3.1 million!"
Bishop Lorie gritted his teeth.
He needed to participate in the bidding for the mysterious light feather later and couldn't spend too many energy stones here.
"Ha, then the Bishop might be disappointed."
The representative of the Laya Alliance said with a smile.
"The void core is not an item that appears frequently. If it weren't for the Pinnacle Battle, the Cosmic Bank wouldn't bother transporting one over."
"To put it bluntly, this is a hidden benefit for the Geniuses of Qingxuan Realm. If you don't want it, then this humble one will reluctantly accept it."
You think you know everything!
Damn it!
Although Qin Mu guessed that such an auction would definitely have some hidden benefits prepared by Transcendent Factionss.
The previous spirit marrow, sold in a package, was most likely one of them.
Although Transcendent Factionss were not the absolute rulers of the Human Race, they did, in fact, do everything a ruler would do behind the scenes.
For example, setting rules.
For example, balancing resources.
For example, cultivating talents.
A broken void core was not highly valuable, but it required hunting down alien race (alien races) to obtain, which was truly difficult.
If Transcendent Factionss hadn't brought these things to the Human Race territories and scattered them, a place like Qingxuan Realm might not even see a void core for sale even after dozens of world origin passed.
"4 million!"
Qin Mu was going to use cash.
"Ha, Bishop Lorie, you really know how to raise the price." The representative of the Laya Alliance looked at the Bishop next door, but the corner of his eye and the upward curve of his mouth seemed to be focused on Qin Mu's private room.
Bishop Lorie frowned: "You ....?"
The next second.
He read a different meaning from the other party's gaze.
"This .... is this aimed at that mysterious person?"
Bishop Lorie suddenly understood.
For just a void core, why would a place like the Laya Alliance, which doesn't spend much money cultivating Geniuses, waste funds?
Ha.
Is this an attempt to force that mysterious person to reveal his identity?
Interesting.
Just the identity of that mysterious person is worth so many energy stones.
When did Qingxuan Realm produce such a rich fellow? It couldn't be that he crawled out of a black hole, could it?
"5 million!"
Qin Mu was also straightforward.
At this price, doubling it again would be a pure waste of money.
"5.1 million."
The representative of the Laya Alliance added bit by bit, while constantly mocking Bishop Lorie.
But Bishop Lorie held back, not saying a word.
Everyone watched in great shock.
"Is Luol Temple so easy to talk to now?"
"No way?"
"How did the Temple Bishop, who used to wipe out entire families at the drop of a hat, suddenly change his personality?"
"If it were the Qidala Empire, I might barely believe it, but the Laya Alliance being so bold, I don't believe a single punctuation mark of it!!"
....Inside the private room, Ao Mengmeng seemed to have found something as well.
"Qin Mu, this guy is ostensibly targeting Luol Temple, but he's actually deliberately targeting you!!"
"They might have conspired .... are they suspicious of your identity? Hmm, you need to be careful "
Careful?
Qin Mu wasn't really worried about that.
At the Cosmic Bank's auction, could they really find out his identity?
Hoping he would expose himself?
That's even more impossible.
Qin Mu thought for a moment, then suddenly turned and asked: "The Cosmic Bank's auction shouldn't allow malicious bidding, right?"
"That's right, meow ."
The Cat-eared Girl next to him replied sweetly: "When bidding, the bank will detect the customer's account. If the funds are insufficient, the bid will not be accepted, meow ."
Not bad.
Qin Mu praised, then directly pulled out the thousand mountain sword and mortgaged this Divine Rank weapon.
"High-Rank Divine Rank weapon, meow?"
"thousand mountain sword!"
The Cat-eared Girl serving here must have the authority to help customers mortgage and transfer funds at any time.
"If you confirm the mortgage, you will receive a credit limit of 40 million energy stones, meow."
40 million?
As expected of a High-Rank Divine Rank weapon, it's really expensive!
Qin Mu nodded: "Do I need to send it to you now?"
"No need, meow."
"You are a three-star customer, you can choose to deliver the collateral at the auction or settle your credit account limit, meow."
The Cat-eared Girl smiled.
Amazing.
As expected of the Cosmic Bank, a 40 million credit limit, so generously thrown out?
However.
Being able to display it in the Metaverse, the real existence of the item is beyond doubt. If one dares to borrow money, they have the ability to collect debts.
Just kidding.
Although the Human Race is vast, how many existences are there whose debts even the Cosmic Bank cannot recover?
....After Qin Mu confirmed, he directly bid the price.
"10 million!"
The moment the price was announced.
The host immediately became excited: "10 million bid, first time, any higher?"
Hiss!!
A collective gasp of cold air was heard in the venue.
"Who is this?"
"So extravagant, right?"
"A damaged void core, with a seven-day shelf life, and the effect is still uncertain, yet he dares to bid ten million?"
"Did he bid incorrectly?"
"Did he think this was qidala gold coin, Luol gold coin, or something similar, not the universal energy stone?"
Ten million.
Most of the Star Realm Experts present, themselves, absolutely could not produce this wealth.
The few who could, would not buy a broken core with a shelf life of only seven days.
For the same ten million, one could buy two or three Divine Rank weapons, switch between different Laws, use them for a lifetime, and even pass them down.
Isn't that more appealing?
Buying this core for ten million, if it has no effect, it's purely an intelligence tax, money down the drain.
Even if Star Realm Experts had that much money, they would absolutely not spend it this way.
The concept is different.
It's like a wealthy person with tens of millions of assets might spend ten million on a house or a car, but would never spend ten million on a bottle of red wine.
Such super luxury goods, if one doesn't have billions in assets, they wouldn't even dare to imagine them.
Different consumption levels represent an absolute gap in wealth and financial resources.
"Divine Rank!?"
"This big shot is definitely a Divine Rank existence, and one of those very ancient Divine Rank existences!!"
"It must be!"
"Yes, yes, that's right. No wonder he wants to monopolize the spirit marrow; it turns out he really has that many Geniuses to cultivate."
"It's just .... why come to Qingxuan Realm?"
"I don't know."
"Maybe it's just to grab resources? Resources in other Star Domains are hard to get, and the competition here might be smaller."
"Makes sense, makes sense "
....The representative of the Laya Alliance trembled, thinking.
"Why is he playing so big all of a sudden?"
"Speaker!"
He immediately opened communication and contacted: "The mysterious person bid 10 million. Should we follow?"
"10 million?!"
"Follow! Must follow!!!"
"Anyone with this much wealth must be the person Minister Qian Yun is looking for. This time, let's make him go bankrupt first, then keep an eye on him!"
....On stage.
The host had already called out again: "10 million for the second time, any additional bids?"
The representative of the Laya Alliance didn't have time to consider and raised his hand again: "10.1 million!"
Drip!
A faint red light appeared on the body of the Laya Alliance representative.
The host showed an apologetic smile: "I'm very sorry, your bid has exceeded the total value of your account cash and credit limit. Please prepare adequately before returning."
"Is there anyone offering a higher price?"
The host asked again.
The representative of the Laya Alliance cursed inwardly, just about to speak to stall for time.
Only to hear a bang.
The host brought down his hammer: "Congratulations to this guest for acquiring one void core!"
"Next, will be the long-awaited Light Element universal Divine Rank weapon, mysterious light feather!"
Time was limited.
The host wouldn't waste words with someone deliberately delaying him.
Moreover.
The price of 10 million far exceeded expectations.
The bidding customer also had a three-star Rank. Continuing to entangle would only displease the three-star customer and lead to a complaint of deliberate delay.
"Done!"
Qin Mu finally secured the void core.
Even without the Space Law conversion, just 7 critical hits were absolutely worth the price.
Time is money.
Qin Mu's own time was far more valuable than this ten million .... The Laya representative could only grit his teeth and report to the Speaker.
"The other side's funds are too abundant. Is .... is this person really from our Qingxuan Realm?"
The Speaker pondered for a moment.
"Ten million, there are quite a few forces in Qingxuan Realm that can produce it, but to spend ten million on a void core .... there's probably not a single one."
"It can almost be confirmed!!"
"Continue to pay attention to all of the other party's auction items, strive for them with all your might, I'll transfer the funds to you now, you must stall him!!"
....Inside the auction hall.
The mysterious light feather, as a universal Divine Rank weapon, saw its price steadily rise.
It quickly broke through the 3 million mark.
"Not bad, Qian Wu's valuation was indeed correct."
Qin Mu glanced at the representative of the Laya Alliance and Bishop Lorie, who was currently bidding, and suddenly his eyes flashed.
"You said, can I bid on my own auction item?"
