Monsters Are Coming

At this point, Liu Yi suddenly changed his tone and said somewhat helplessly:

"The unfortunate thing is… the origin power contained in this Rule Fragment has been drained, and now it's nothing but an empty shell, and only a fragmented part at that."

"To put it simply, it currently has no practical use, lacks Rule Logic, and cannot be used to forge any weapons or equipment."

Upon hearing the term Rule Fragment, all the tribes present immediately became unsettled.

The words Liu Yi spoke didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the representatives of the tribes; instead, it made the atmosphere even more agitated.

Because Rule Fragments, even if just an empty shell, are a supreme symbol.

For a race to have a broader development space and become an Overlord-level Influence, having Rules is the first step.

Without Rules, in the Monster World, one is destined to become mere fodder.

Whispering could be heard continuously among those present:

"The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce actually possesses such a supreme treasure; even if the origin is exhausted, it is a priceless treasure that perhaps could be made into a Pseudo-rule type item."

"If I can obtain this, my race will surely have a broader future."

"How much Gold Coin does my race have left? Even if it exhausts all the resources stored in the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, we must acquire it."

Even Ye Ming, who had been observing coldly, suddenly stood up, eyes flickering uncontrollably with soul fire.

The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce pursues profit, but ultimately, profit is for conversion into Strength.

It couldn't understand why the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce would auction such a precious Rule Fragment.

This behavior was simply foolish to the extreme.

Even a Pseudo-rule type item is not something that ordinary resources can measure.

The Mingwu Clan already has 2 Rules, but in its eyes, Rules are never enough, far from being comparable to the top Strong Clans in the Monster World.

This Rule Fragment made its heart pound, even giving it the impulse to snatch it directly.

Just then, Liu Yi on stage suddenly stored the Rule Fragment into a Space Bag:

"The final special item on display has ended, moving directly to the auction phase."

"The starting bid for the Rule Fragment is: 1 Gold Coin."

Saying this, Liu Yi flipped the hourglass.

As soon as Liu Yi's words fell, the bidding numbers surged like a tidal wave.

[Number 382, Bid: 100,000 Gold Coins.]

[Number 220, Bid: 500,000 Gold Coins.]

[Number 9, Bid: 2,000,000 Gold Coins.]

[Number 33, Bid 10,000,000 Gold Coins.]

All the tribal representatives had red eyes, and the price soared at an astonishing speed.

It was as if they weren't competing for just an empty shell fragment, but for the opportunity for their race to become a Strong Clan.

Liu Yi looked around the room, with a profound smile.

Indeed, the value of some things is determined by the environment, by how much others are willing to pay for it.

This placed in the Player Faction would not be regarded as a treasure by any player, and the end result would always be to sell it, with no possibility of using it themselves.

Picking any one from the Life Soul Library at home would be stronger than a complete Rule, let alone a Rule Fragment.

If it cannot be sold, it's just an ornament with no value in players' eyes.

But place it on Dream Island, and unimaginable wealth can be created.

This is still because the current scale of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce hasn't taken off yet. If in the future, it can establish trade relations with thousands, tens of thousands, or even more races.

The auction would attract more competitors.

Such rare supreme treasures could be sold for even higher value.

[Number 313 bids: 30,000,000 Gold Coins.]

Ye Ming finally couldn't sit still, turned the bidding device, and offered a bid valued at 3,000,000 sacrificial power.

But this number was quickly suppressed by another race bidding 32,000,000 sacrificial power.

This made Ye Ming immediately furious, rising suddenly, his black robe moving without the wind.

The black mist surging around him exploded suddenly, sweeping across the entire auction hall like a raging wave!

Crack!

The nearest coral lamp stands shattered instantly.

His gaze swept across the room coldly, and every Alien Race representative he stared at felt like they had fallen into an icy abyss.

They only then discovered that the Mingwu Clan had representatives on the scene.

A representative of a smaller clan even slumped directly on their seat, face white as paper.

At this moment, Ye Ming turned the bidding device, raising the price to 35,000,000 Gold Coins.

The air seemed to solidify, and even breathing became distinctly audible.

Yet, amidst this suffocating pressure, the number on the Bone Crystal Screen suddenly jumped:

[Number 89, Bid: 36,000,000 Gold Coins]

Ye Ming's pupils suddenly contracted, and the black mist around him surged violently.

Who?

His gaze swept across the room like a Blade, but the device didn't show numbers; it simply couldn't identify which tribe was bidding in the dark.

"General Ye Ming, don't be angry; auction items are always about speaking with financial power."

Ah Lan smiled in comfort.

On the other side, Liu Yi stood on the auction stage, a barely noticeable smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"The current highest bid is 36,000,000 Gold Coins, is there any higher?"

His voice was exceptionally clear in the deathly silent hall, like a drop of water falling into boiling oil.

Immediately, new prices reappeared.

36,500,000… 37,000,000… 38,000,000, the price kept climbing, and Ye Ming, who had sat back, looked at Ah Lan, speaking in a deep tone:

"I want this Rule Fragment."

"The auction price decides its ownership." Ah Lan had no intention of compromise.

"This time, I didn't bring enough resources, I'll make it up for you when I return."

"That is the rule of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, off-site resources can't be counted in the auction. Perhaps next time you could store more resources here at the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce to avoid such incidents."

The aura leaking from under Ye Ming's hood suddenly became icy cold, his voice extremely low with an undeniable threat:

"Shou Jili sir, you should realize one thing, when the Mingwu Clan wants something, it doesn't necessarily need to acquire it through an auction."

"In fact… instead of always being threatened by you, I think you could really try taking something from my Player Clan's hands. Otherwise, you persist, believing you can threaten my Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce." Ah Lan smiled gracefully and unhurriedly.

After staring at Ah Lan for a while, Ye Ming suddenly stood up and soared into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the Dawn.
