Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 777 A Sensation: A Legendary Relic of the Sword!
at this time.

After bidding for the ambergris, Cao Xing had a faint smile on his face.

"Not bad, it only cost 200 million kronor. I thought it would cost around 300 million kronor!"

"If you include the cashback from the Diamond Membership Card, it's equivalent to only spending 1.6 million."

"Compared to the value of this ambergris, it is definitely worth the money."

He was very satisfied and couldn't help but admire the position Leonard had given him.

Even some legendary powerhouses wouldn't want to offend an unknown entity with a mysterious background and unpredictable strength for something worth only a few hundred million.

Bai Zhi, who was standing next to her, turned her head and asked with a hint of curiosity, "You know how to fish?"

Upon hearing this question, Cao Xing raised an eyebrow: "Are you kidding?"

"See the title above my head? That's the Fishing Master!"

After saying that, he changed his title to "Fishing Master," and a golden fishhook icon immediately appeared above his head.

Liu Muxue chimed in softly, "Sister Baizhi, A-Xing is really good at fishing!"

"He has caught not only emerald sea bream, but also rare fish species such as golden salmon."

"I've even caught the legendary king salmon, a dream fish species!"

Her tone was filled with intense pride, and her eyes lit up.

Bai Zhi looked somewhat surprised and said thoughtfully, "In that case, I do know of a special body of water where there is a rare fish called the Black-spotted Starfish."

"A black-spotted starfish?" Cao Xing asked疑惑地, "Is there anything special about this fish?"

"Ah."

Bai Zhi nodded gently, "It is said that this black-spotted starfish has existed for an extremely long time, and its strength is unfathomable."

"Even a master-level expert cannot subdue it in that area of ​​water."

"Moreover... legend has it that this fish once swallowed a mysterious key."

"This key can be used to open the gates of the sunken palace at the bottom of the frozen sea."

"Whoever can catch this black-spotted starfish and cut open its belly will obtain this mysterious key."

After listening to Bai Zhi's story, a glint flashed in Cao Xing's eyes.

"Interesting... Is it related to the frozen sea again?"

"A palace submerged at the bottom of the sea sounds like it has a very important history."

Recently, he has been hearing the name of the 'Eternal Frozen Sea' frequently, along with system notifications.

They already had a premonition that they would soon be heading to that legendary sea.

Cao Xing asked, "Do you remember the location of that black-spotted starfish?"

Bai Zhi nodded slightly: "Yes, it's in a place called Frost Valley Sound, and the body of water is called Quiet Moon Lake."

"If you're interested, I can take you there."

Cao Xing pondered for a moment.

I'd never heard of this place before, Frosty Valley Sound.

I opened the map, entered the name, and took a look. I found that it was tens of thousands of kilometers away from the black market!

It is even further away from his base camp, the raging snowfield, by nearly 20,000 kilometers.

But given their current movement speed, it's not too far.

Cao Xing nodded, "Okay, I'll go take a look when I have time later."

"it is good."

After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she resumed her icy demeanor and sat quietly to the side.

Next, Cao Xing and his group looked at the items up below again.

The weapon featured this time is a level 70 epic weapon called the Reaper's Scimitar (Orange).

Cao Xing glanced at it.

This weapon has pretty good stats; it not only has powerful attack capabilities but also a special effect called "Life Harvest".

Each enemy killed increases the critical hit rate by 1%, up to a maximum of 100%.

But it had no effect on him or his subjects.

Because their critical hit rate is over 80%.

Furthermore, the attributes added by weapons like this, although they can be enhanced by the [Eternal Power], will disappear if the weapon is removed and replaced with a new one.

Therefore, he did not participate in the bidding.

Not only that, but he didn't make another move for the next few hours.

Because in the middle of the auction, the new items being auctioned were all kinds of weapons, equipment, and so on.

Although the quality is good, it is far inferior to the equipment Cao Xing has.

Compared to the epic weapons crafted by Harold, they are far inferior!
Moreover, the starting bid for these gold and epic equipment items is 20 million, and the minimum transaction price for each item is 40 million crowns.

Cao Xing felt it wasn't worth it.

However, the group of mercenaries and adventurers below were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood!
They bid against each other, and if they saw a weapon that suited them, they were even willing to spend all their savings to buy it.

After all, weapons with powerful attributes and high quality are still rare in this world.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Cao Xing has acquired so many epic equipment items along the way; that's only because he defeated many powerful beings and opened a bunch of treasure chests.

Most of the other survivors didn't even own a single piece of epic equipment.

The same applies to this group of indigenous people.

If any of these mercenaries possesses a gold weapon or piece of equipment, they are considered to be well-equipped.

Among them were quite a few seventh-tier experts, who were wearing purple-quality light armor.

That's why they were bidding so aggressively.

Or rather, the goal of most mercenaries here is these high-quality, high-level equipment.

They constantly save money so that they can snag a suitable weapon at the annual auction to improve themselves.

So the atmosphere at halftime was even more intense than in the first half!
Finally... after another two hours.

The auction has been going on for seven hours now.

During this period, many people with limited budgets bid on their desired items, exhausted their funds, and then left satisfied.

Of course, more and more new faces are constantly entering the scene.

The excitement was undiminished.

And so... the auction finally entered its second half.

The second half also features rare items, exotic fruits, and even magical plants...

Moreover, the quality is even higher than in the first half, with starting bids of 30 to 40 million.

Even Cao Xing couldn't resist the temptation and made another bid, purchasing two more items.

They are [Frost Elf's Tears] and [Dragon Blood Amber].

These two items cost him another 1 million crowns.

So far, he has spent a total of 6.87 million kronor at this auction.

After receiving cashback through the Diamond Membership Card, the total expenditure was 5.5 million kronor.

Cao Xing prepared nearly 10 billion kronor for this auction.

In the end, we photographed six items, which took up more than half of the budget.

Cao Xing shook his head helplessly: "Sure enough, the money just keeps flowing away like water, it's never enough..."

"With the remaining 400 million crowns, I wonder if we can secure a final item at the auction."

Based on expectations, it is highly unlikely that this will work.

After all, Leonard had previously stated that the starting bid for the final item in this auction would be 200 million kronor.

If these final items are valuable enough to spark fierce competition, they could fetch prices ten times higher!
"But it's okay. If I really find something I like, I'll just bid higher to buy it."

"If I don't have enough money, I still have over a thousand bottles of [Power Magic Guide Elixir] in my backpack. This batch of elixirs is worth over 20 billion and can be converted into cash at any time."

"I refuse to believe that with so much money, we can't even snag a final, highlight item!"

Thinking of this, a calm smile reappeared on Cao Xing's lips.

Then, he glanced at the attributes of the two newly purchased items.

【Frost Elf's Tears (Orange)】

【Quality: Special】

[Item Description: A type of ice crystal fruit that only forms deep within the permafrost glaciers of the far north, said to have been formed from the tears of ancient ice spirits.]

[Item Effect: After consumption, increases the user's ice resistance by 25% and grants the special ability: 'Tears of the Ancient Frost Spirit']

【Tears of the Ancient Frost Elf: Condensing the essence of ice, imbues a summoned creature with tears, granting it a 30% attribute boost.】

If the summoned creature is 'Frost Sprite', it will gain an additional 20% attribute boost and activate skills such as 'Blizzard' and 'Reinforced Frost Shell'. Lasts 120 seconds, cooldown: 5 minutes.

[Number of doses: 1]

...

...

Dragon Blood Amber (Orange)

[Quality: Epic]

[Item Description: Amber containing a drop of ancient dragon's blood essence, said to contain a special power.]

[Item Effect: After crushing, absorbing the essence blood within will temporarily transform a certain part of your body into a dragon, such as growing 'dragon scale armor' or 'dragon claws', with a small chance of activating 'dragon wings'...]

[Side effect: During the dragon transformation process, you will constantly suffer the pain of your blood vessels burning. Please use with caution.]

...

...

After reviewing the attributes of these two precious items, Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction: "Although they are a bit expensive, they are definitely worth the price."

"Especially this [Frost Elf's Tear], it's extremely useful to me!"

After all, he had learned an early-game skill called [Summon Frost Spirit] quite early on.

However, the summoned frost sprites have combat power equivalent to ordinary creatures, and only inherit 80% of Cao Xing's attributes.

It's fine for bullying creatures below the legendary level, but its effectiveness against legendary creatures is quite limited.

Now, with this [Frost Elf's Tear], Cao Xing can not only greatly increase his ice resistance, but also use the new abilities on it to strengthen the Frost Elf.

In this way, these summoned creatures can also be used in legendary battlegrounds.

With that thought in mind, he took out the crystal-clear fruit without hesitation and swallowed it in one gulp.

After about a second, the power contained in the fruit began to take effect.

An extremely cold chill surged in his stomach and quickly spread throughout his body.

But this chill was only present for a moment before it was assimilated by the vast magical power within Cao Xing's body and transformed into his own power.

At the same time, the icy aura emanating from him intensified once again, and the entire private room was instantly frozen by a thick layer of solid ice.

However, in just a moment, Cao Xing controlled the cold energy in his body, and the temperature in the entire private room returned to normal.

[Having successfully consumed [Tears of the Frost Elf], your Ice Resistance is increased by 25%, and you gain the special ability [Tears of the Ancient Frost Elf]...]
...

Feeling the abundant power within his body, Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, the enhanced Frost Elf is roughly equivalent to a level 100 boss-level creature."

"Although its combat power is not strong, it has a lot of health."

"In this way, I will have a meat shield that I can summon at any time."

The Frost Elf's Tears worked quite well. As for the other item, Dragon Blood Amber, he planned to give it to Bo Jie to try after returning to his territory.

“Speaking of which… I still have a drop of [Kracatto’s Blood] in my backpack, waiting for Berjie to fuse it with…”

"Now that he has successfully broken through to the Hero level, all that is needed is to find a suitable relic for him to break through to the Legend level, and then try to fuse with this drop of ancient dragon blood."

Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

At this moment, Liu Muxue spoke, interrupting his thoughts.

"Ah Xing, the host said that the grand finale is coming up next."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing immediately perked up, his eyes shining as he looked intently at the booth: "Finally, the grand finale is here!"

Not only him, but most people in the entire venue straightened their backs, their eyes shining with anticipation.

Even in the private rooms on the second and third floors, several powerful auras could be faintly seen fluctuating.

After all, Leonard had released the news before the auction even started.

Many legendary figures traveled from far and wide across the North to acquire these legendary final auction items.

"Distinguished guests, we apologize for keeping you waiting."

The female host raised her voice a few decibels: "Now, we are about to enter the grand finale that everyone has been waiting for."

"We initially prepared four final items for this auction, but later, due to certain special circumstances, we increased that to six."

“Each one is incredibly valuable and unique, and I believe it will not disappoint anyone present.”

An excited murmur immediately rang out from the audience.

Many people are already eager to get started and make a big splash.

The female host maintained her perfect professional smile.

Speaking of which, her stamina is truly astonishing.

She stood there for almost a dozen hours straight, maintaining a high spirits and still managing to keep that sweet smile and elegant demeanor.

The management and training capabilities of the Giant Axe Mercenary Group are indeed quite good.

"Now, let's bring out the first and final item."

She clapped her hands lightly, and two burly men pushed in a special display vehicle.

As soon as they entered, everyone felt an extremely sharp aura emanating from it, as if their skin was being cut by invisible sword energy.

As a burly man lifted the red silk covering the sword, a broken sword, entirely blood-red, was revealed!
The next moment, everyone's gaze froze on the broken blade.

"This is... a broken weapon?"

"It seems so. It looks like a sword, and it contains a very strong killing intent!"

"However, this thing is broken like this, it probably can't be used anymore, right?"

"What is the background of this final item in the auction?"

Some of the guests were puzzled.

Meanwhile, another group of powerful individuals with hero-level combat strength suddenly stood up!

Their gazes were fixed on the broken blade, and surprise, longing, and greed flashed in their eyes.

The auras of many powerful individuals fluctuated, seemingly unable to suppress their inner impulses and wanting to seize it!
However, as a legendary fluctuation emerged, these restless individuals turned pale and came to their senses.

They looked at the broken blade on the stage with lingering fear, their hearts filled with dread!
I just... actually had the idea of ​​forcibly taking away this final item from the auction; I was practically courting death!
Keep in mind, this is the Giant Axe Mercenary Group, with a legendary expert personally overseeing the operation.

If they dared to make a move, they would probably be killed by that legendary expert in an instant!
The female host took in the reactions of the audience, her smile unwavering: "As you can see, this is a relic called the Crimson Broken Blade."

"It contains extremely lethal divine power, and is an essential medium for hero-level powerhouses who are proficient in sword weapons to break through to the legendary level."

The moment he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in another uproar.

"Gods above! This thing is actually a relic! This is something that even hero-level powerhouses dream of!"

"Yes... Countless powerful individuals have been stuck at the Hero Realm for years, simply because they lack one crucial relic!"

"No wonder some people almost couldn't resist making a move!"

"The chance to break through to legendary status—I'd be tempted too!"

"..."

Inside the private room, Cao Xing's eyes also showed a look of shock.

"The first and final item in the auction is actually a relic, and it's a sword at that..."

"This thing is very important to me!"

It should be noted that there are quite a few individuals in his territory who use sword-type weapons and have not yet broken through to the legendary level.

Among them are Xiao, the swordsman from the Star Kingdom, and the Valkyrie Malenina!

The latter, in particular, found this relic even more important to her!

It's important to know that Malenina is currently only a level 100 hero.

However, with the support of her second form and Valkyrie's Wrath, she is already able to unleash the combat power of a high-level legendary.

If she were to break through to the legendary level, it would be unimaginable how powerful she would become!

Even a powerful figure like the lizardman chieftain, without forcibly entering the demigod realm, would likely be no match for her.

The most crucial thing is!

After Malenina advances to Legendary status, you only need to collect another 5000 points of Divine Power, equivalent to 500 Divine Power Shards, to unlock her second form!
Thus, they directly possess demigod-level combat power.

Once upon a time, 5000 points of divine power was an unattainable goal for Cao Xing.

But now, it doesn't seem so far away.

Moreover, exchanging 5000 divine power for the combat power of a demigod is a huge profit!
Thinking of this, Cao Xing instantly made up his mind to bid for this relic at all costs!
There are quite a few people who share his ideas.

As mentioned earlier, the sword is the king of all weapons.

Even in this world, there are quite a few powerful individuals who wield swords.

Below, there are at least seven or eight hero-level powerhouses wielding swords.

Their eyes were burning as they stared intently at the broken blade in the hall, their breathing becoming rapid!
