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

Chapter 781 The ultimate grand finale: The golem makes its appearance!

Amidst their bewildered gazes, they suddenly saw two enormous metal heads gradually rise from the center of the stage.

Two magical eyes, radiating a ghostly blue light, were embedded in that cold, metallic face, sending chills down one's spine.

Then there was the oval-shaped body and the limbs covered with magical patterns.

Finally, two colossal golems, each over ten meters tall, with a dark blue metallic sheen and a huge crystal embedded in their chests, stood prominently in the center of the stage.

On the first floor, people couldn't help but gape, their eyes filled with disbelief!

"I...I...I'm not seeing things, am I? These are those terrifying golems from the ruins, how could they be here!?"

"My God... the aura emanating from these two golems is definitely no less than that of a hero-level being. If they get out of control, they will slaughter most of the people here!"

A young nobleman exclaimed, "What a terrifying mechanical monster! It's practically a mobile war machine! If only I could control it..."

As he said this, a mixture of fear and greed gleamed in his eyes!

Compared to the shock and fear felt by those on the first floor.

The terrifying atmosphere emanating from the private rooms on the second and third floors was almost undisguised!

"Hahaha! As expected, these are complete Hero-class golems. I'm taking both of them!" A gruff voice boomed from the third-floor private room, sounding like thunder!
"Heh... It's too early to talk about these things now..." Another cold voice came from the opposite compartment, its tone also filled with intense desire.

"Click...click...the golem is mine!" A mechanical sound, like the turning of gears, rang out.

Clearly, the vast majority of these legendary powerhouses came for these two golems!

More than a dozen powerful spiritual forces intertwined and collided in the air above the auction house, filling the air with a suffocating pressure!
On the first floor, the mercenaries, nobles, and merchants were all pale and trembling uncontrollably under the oppressive aura of more than a dozen legendary experts.

It looked like he was about to faint at any moment.

On the exhibition stage, the female host in the red dress collapsed to the ground, her gorgeous dress spreading out to reveal a pair of fair and slender legs.

However, no one was in the mood to appreciate this erotic scene. They were all doing their best to resist the terrifying mental pressure, and even breathing became difficult.

Just then, a deep and authoritative voice came from the back of the exhibition hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please bid in a civilized manner."

"Let me reiterate, this is my territory, Giant Axe. Any outrageous behavior or disruption of order during the auction is strictly prohibited."

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, as if it were ringing directly in their minds.

The terrifying aura gradually subsided.

The oppressive atmosphere that had enveloped the entire auction hall dissipated.

The guests on the first floor breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with lingering fear, and many were still wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Clearly, none of them expected that the mere appearance of these two golems would elicit such a violent reaction from these legendary powerhouses!
Some mercenaries muttered to themselves, "My God... what are these powerful figures doing? Even if the two golems are precious, they shouldn't be causing this kind of outburst, right?"

"Yes... these powerful beings already possess legendary combat strength, so why are they still so interested in hero-level golems, even to the point of fighting over them?"

Many people on the field looked puzzled and confused.

At this point, some of the people in the know explained to them the great significance of these two golems to these legendary powerhouses.

Upon hearing this, the guests looked on with sudden realization.

"I see... It's unbelievable that such a hero-level golem has such important strategic significance!"

"Yes...whoever can crack the technology first will gain control of the golem army. No wonder these big shots are getting restless!"

"Good heavens! No wonder these two golems were the final items in the auction; their value certainly surpasses that unusable legendary equipment from before."

"really……"

As the discussion continued, a new question arose in everyone's mind.

That is, such a precious golem, and it has attracted so many legendary powerhouses?
What amazing price will it fetch at auction?

Ten billion?

Five hundred billion?
Or... an even more terrifying 100 billion?

This thought sent a chill down everyone's spine.

The businessmen in the front row had already started calculating their net worth, but in the end they all shook their heads with wry smiles.

This level of bidding is beyond their reach.

At this moment, the female host had already gotten up from the ground.

She first straightened her dress, forced a professional smile, and gradually regained her composure: "Thank you for your cooperation, everyone."

"As you all know, these two Heroic Golems are of great significance and value, and many distinguished guests are eager to participate in the bidding."

"but……"

At this point, she paused.

He then continued, "However, before the auction officially begins, we have a special note to make."

"Because the distinguished guest who consigned the item specifically requested that he not need crowns, but only accept a more advanced resource: fragments of divine power!"

"Therefore... this auction requires the use of divine power fragments as payment."

Upon hearing this, the entire room erupted in an uproar, and waves of energy emanated from the private rooms.

Clearly, it wasn't just the mercenaries and nobles on the first floor.

Even the mysterious legendary experts in the private rooms on the second and third floors were quite surprised.

On the first floor, most of the mercenaries and nobles looked at each other in bewilderment: "Divine power fragments? What are those?"

"I don't know, could it be some kind of special gemstone?" a young mercenary asked, scratching his head.

“No, I think it’s more like some kind of energy crystallization…” his companion guessed, frowning.

At this moment, a mysterious being draped in a black robe sneered: "What an ignorant bunch of fools, they don't even know what a fragment of divine power is."

Upon hearing this, the mercenaries froze, then blushed and said:
Who are you calling ignorant and uninformed?

"Exactly, what's with the pretense?"

"If you know, tell me what this thing is?"

After hearing this, the man sneered again, and then said with a smug look, "Of course I know that when those hero-level powerhouses break through to the legendary level, they will awaken a special power."

"This power has an extremely powerful effect. It can not only be used to enhance one's combat skills, but also be applied to various aspects, so it is called divine power."

"When the divine power within the bodies of legendary powerhouses accumulates to a certain level, it can be transformed to condense a fragment of divine power."

"These fragments have a wide range of uses for legendary-level powerhouses, serving as a kind of high-level currency and resource."

After hearing this person's explanation, everyone around them looked enlightened.

"So that's how it is... After breaking through to the legendary realm, one can actually wield such miraculous power..."

"It's truly amazing. No wonder the guests on the second and third floors were so excited when they heard that the other party needed 'fragments of divine power'."

"Judging from this, the person who consigned these two golems must also be a legendary powerhouse?"

"It's highly likely that, apart from a powerhouse of this level, no one else could obtain such a precious golem."

...

...

Compared to the heated discussion in the lobby on the first floor.

In the private rooms on the second and third floors, a group of mysterious powerful figures wore thoughtful expressions.

"To think it's a transaction using 'fragments of divine power,' this mysterious consignor really knows how to pick his timing."

In a private room on the third floor, an old man with a gloomy aura spoke slowly.

On the other side, a powerful figure wearing a gray-white coat sneered, "Hmph! I brought so many crowns this time, but I didn't dare to make a move on several tempting items I saw earlier, all for these two golems."

"So they actually want fragments of divine power! This Giant Axe Mercenary Group is really something, not spreading the news earlier, only saying it at the last minute!"

In another private room, a woman dressed in a magnificent purple robe chuckled, "Hehe~ Luckily, I brought quite a few fragments of divine power with me before I left this time."

"It seems I'll most likely be able to buy a Magic Elephant and take it back."

...

...

The female host on the lower stage, seeing that the atmosphere had been built up enough, cleared her throat and said, "Next, the auction for the golem will begin."

"However... since there are two of these precious golems, they will be auctioned in two separate sessions."

"First up is the very first one, the golem on the left: PAC-7000!"

"In addition to its extremely powerful combat capabilities, it also possesses a magical [Fortress Energy Core], which can restore its own damage by consuming energy."

"In other words, once you capture it, all you need to do is provide it with enough energy, and you'll have a loyal, practically immortal, steel guardian that can faithfully execute all your commands!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the arena turned their gaze to the towering golem. The crystal core on the golem's chest flashed a dangerous red light, as if responding to the host's introduction.

Its metal head had a pair of eyes that flashed blue light scanning back and forth, landing on the nobles and merchants, making them feel a deadly sense of crisis at the same time.

Even some timid individuals involuntarily took a half-step back.

Being stared at by its gaze is no less than being locked onto by a steel beast, which makes one feel fear!
A merchant took a few deep breaths to suppress his fear and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a terrifying golem! If only the merchant guild could buy one to use as a guard!"

"From now on, when caravans travel to various parts of the continent, they will no longer have to worry about bandits and monsters!"

Another nobleman whispered, "If I could get my hands on one of these demonic elephants... its formidable fighting power would be enough to solidify my position within the family..."

"At that time, I will restore the glory of the Kathys family!"

A look of longing appeared in everyone's eyes, but it quickly dimmed.

They all knew that treasures of this caliber were simply beyond their reach.

The female host's voice continued: "The starting bid for the first round is 10 Divine Power Fragments, and each subsequent bid must be at least 1 Divine Power Fragment."

"The auction is now officially open!"

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent for a moment.

This silence is not because no one is bidding, but rather the calm before the storm.

Everyone could sense the tense atmosphere in the air.

...

...

In private room number one on the second floor.

Cao Xing, Liu Muxue, and Bai Zhi were also waiting quietly.

The magical barrier inside the private room isolated the outside noise, leaving only the auctioneer's voice clearly audible.

At this moment, Liu Muxue couldn't help but ask curiously, "Ah Xing, how much do you think these two golems will fetch in terms of divine power fragments?"

Upon hearing this question, Cao Xing pondered for a moment before replying, "Probably... between eighty and one hundred."

He had previously speculated during his exploration of the ruins that the first few of these golems sold would fetch the highest prices.

Once the technology for this golem is cracked and mass production begins, its price will inevitably drop significantly.

It's impossible to use this golem to exchange for a large number of divine power fragments.

After all, fragments of divine power are extremely important to these legendary powerhouses.

These hundred coins are no small number; only those with profound heritage and legendary status can afford to produce them.

That's why he judged that the price would not exceed this range.

Of course, being able to sell a hundred fragments of divine power is already quite astonishing.

It should be noted that Cao Xing's entire net worth is now less than one hundred coins, and that was accumulated after accomplishing several major events.

If he can sell both golems for such an astonishing price, he'll be rich!
At least, the problem of needing divine power fragments to help one of the people in the territory break through to demigod status has been solved!
Thinking of this, Cao Xing sighed inwardly, "It's a pity that this kind of deal can't continue indefinitely."

"Otherwise, I could have made a fortune and achieved freedom from the fragments of divine power just by relying on the golems in these ruins!"

Of course, if these forces still don't have the technology to crack the golem after they've taken it, Cao Xing can still continue to sell the golems in the ruins in exchange for fragments of divine power.

It's just that it might not be as high as the price it fetched this time.

Upon hearing this, Liu Muxue nodded thoughtfully.

Then, they continued to wait with anticipation.

After about fifteen seconds, the entire venue fell into an eerie silence.

Until the host said, "There are only fifteen seconds left before this precious item goes unsold."

"Dear guests, please hurry!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a number lit up on the window of a private room on the third floor, as if it could no longer contain itself.

15 pieces.

Seeing this, the host said first: "The VIP in VIP room number eight on the third floor has offered 15 fragments of divine power. Is there anyone who can offer more?"

The next moment, a number also lit up in VIP room number nine on the second floor.

20.

This bid increased by 5 divine power fragments, and the bidder seemed determined to win!

A low murmur rippled through the hall as everyone realized that the mysterious powerful figures were about to make their move.

Sure enough, as the top bidders in these two private rooms made their offers, the other private rooms also lit up their bids.

25 pieces...

30 pieces...

40 pieces!
In the blink of an eye, the price soared to 50 coins and is still maintaining a terrifying upward trend.

In just over ten seconds, at least half of the powerful figures in the private rooms revealed their prices.

The current auction price has reached a whopping 90 Divine Power Fragments!
This price has exceeded Cao Xing's lowest expectations.

Everyone else in the room was stunned.

By now, they all know the function and value of the [Divine Power Fragment].

Those are precious resources that legendary powerhouses need to spend a lot of time and energy to accumulate; they are equivalent to their foundation.

It's quite astonishing that these powerful individuals would produce so many fragments all at once in order to compete for the golem.

The female host's voice also became slightly excited: "The VIP in VIP room number five on the second floor has bid 90 Divine Power Fragments. Is there anyone who bids higher?"

A brief silence fell over the room once again as time slowly passed.

After about twenty seconds, the deadline for the transaction was approaching.

Cao Xing muttered to himself, "It seems this price is nearing its limit."

As he expected, the transaction price was between 80 and 100 divine power fragments.

Of course, this price is already very good.

It's safe to say that even if the deal is completed now, he'll have already made a killing!

After all, this golem was obtained from ruins, and the entity that created it was the Asura civilization.

Cao Xing didn't contribute anything throughout the process; he only had Tong Chuchu use [Mechanical Transformation] once.

It's like making a huge profit with absolutely no investment!

Just as the female host was about to bring down the gavel, a number lit up on the window of another private room.

100 fragments of divine power!
Everyone was slightly taken aback upon seeing this.

It seems unexpected that someone would be willing to pay an even higher price.

In the private room where the original bid of 90 coins was placed, a cold and powerful aura suddenly erupted when someone lowered his bid.

A hoarse voice rang out: "A hundred fragments of divine power? Are you out of your mind?"

"Although this golem is precious, the technology it contains is too ancient, and no one can guarantee that it can be deciphered in a short time!"

"You'll lose everything if you do this!"

Upon hearing this, a terrifying and dangerous aura also emanated from the private room on the third floor.

"What's it to you? I'm taking this golem. Go ahead and raise the price if you dare!"

His voice had a mechanical buzzing sound, as grating as the turning of gears.

Upon hearing this mysterious figure's forceful rebuttal, the entire room fell silent.

They had a vague premonition that another fierce battle was about to begin.

In the private room on the second floor, the person who had been publicly rebuked remained silent for a moment before suddenly letting out a mocking laugh.

"Ha... I wondered who it was, it's you, you inhuman freak."

"Hundreds of years ago, I heard that someone was willing to give up his physical strength and transform his body into a machine in pursuit of so-called immortality."

"But because the transformation failed, he was turned into a half-human, half-machine monster who could not even manage his own life."

"Now I can only hide in that underground city all day, conducting some shady research..."
