From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 108: A piece of news worth three hundred million
"The last item for tonight is the team contract. The starting price is 1 million. Each bid must not be less than 1000 million. The auction begins now."

After the auctioneer introduced the various data of the [Team Contract], the auction officially began.

The starting price was 1 million yuan, which made many people who were interested in this contract but did not have enough financial resources give up.

This starting price also means that those with special abilities who are invited in based on their strength have basically no chance of bidding.

It is now the fourth month since the abyss descended. In four months, even a person with extraordinary talents cannot obtain amazing wealth at this point in time.

Therefore, those families and consortiums with deep roots are still the ones who can participate in the auction.

Once the auction begins, the bidding frequency is very high.

Especially the compartments on the second floor, which received frequent bids.

Among these twelve compartments, more than half of the bidders had not participated in the bidding for the previous items, but now they all placed bids.

The situation is already very clear. These financially powerful forces are all targeting this contract.

After a round of intensive bidding, with a total of 12 bids, the price rose to 2.5 million.

At this time, the third compartment on the second floor directly bid 3 million, which finally made the dense bidding pause.

However, not long after, someone made another bid and the price increased to 3.1 million.

Next, the two sides started bidding against each other, and after six rounds of bidding, the price reached 6 million.

This price is already four times the starting price, which made many people at the scene gasp.

Before coming here, many people knew that the price of this contract would be very high, but no one thought that the competition would be so fierce.

Moreover, they are bidding against each other and there is no sign of stopping.

Lin Zeyu looked at the rising prices and shook his legs nervously: "No, if this continues, I don't know what the price will go up to."

Yu Heping pondered and said, "Ask a high price. If you increase the price little by little, you won't be able to stop the car."

Lin Zeyu pressed the bidding button in the booth and said into the microphone: "Five hundred million!"

When the auctioneer heard the bid, he was excited: "Five hundred million, the VIP in compartment seven on the second floor bid five hundred million, is there a higher bid?

"Team contract, 500 million, first time.

"Team contract, 500 million, second time..."

The auctioneer was ready to reach for the gavel.

At this time, another bid came from the third compartment, 5.5 million.

The price directly increased by 5000 million.

Lin Zeyu slapped his forehead and said angrily: "It was almost there."

Yu Heping has been working in the business world for many years. Seeing this, he said, "This may be worth 1 billion yuan."

"No, that's beyond our ability to bear." Lin Zeyu frowned.

He turned to look at Lu Heng and asked, "Is there any solution?"

Lu Heng spread his hands and replied: "Auction, what can we do?"

"That's right." Lin Zeyu was suddenly helpless.

Moreover, there is more than one bidding company now. There are two or three more bidding companies raising the price, and it is obvious that none of them want to give up.

After several more bids, the price went straight to 6 million.

This price has caused most people present to withdraw from the bidding game, but the remaining few who continue to compete are the ones who decide the final price.

Moreover, if it is to save someone, then it is a matter of life and death.

If it is to protect the heirs of those consortiums, 6 million is really nothing.

Originally, there is really no way to stop others from bidding at an auction, but this is not absolute.

Lu Heng suddenly thought of something and said, "If you really want to find a solution, it's not completely impossible."

"What solution?" Everyone in the cubicle turned to look at Lu Heng.

"When psychics are recruited to enter the Abyss Battlefield, the danger level is proportional to the psychics' combat power. This should be a consensus." The solution Lu Heng thought of was the recruitment rules of the Abyss Battlefield.

"Yes, this is a consensus and everyone knows it." Lin Zeyu nodded.

"Can this rule affect the price of the contract?" Yu Heping asked.

"If a team is recruited, the overall combat power rating will be improved according to the team contract, and the danger level will be determined by the highest-level psychic in the team. In other words, if you are too weak and find a psychic who is too strong to protect you, you will be cannon fodder when you enter and may die faster." Lu Heng stated the recruitment rules of the Abyss Battlefield in an analytical tone.

This is also a hidden rule in the [Team Contract]. It is not reflected in the data, but it does exist.

When a psychic with a team contract is recruited, there will be a weighted combat power rating, and the combat power of the entire team will be assessed according to the person with the highest combat power.

This means that if the person who needs to be protected is of a very low level, he will also be teleported into a high-level abyss battlefield. The result can be imagined.

Lin Zeyu understood immediately: "Yes, I will release this news now."

The recruitment rules of the Abyss Battlefield spread in the circle, and the forces participating in the auction received the news one after another.

This made those forces that originally wanted to use the [Team Contract] to guarantee people start to hesitate.

It would be fine if the person to be protected is of a high level, but if his level is relatively low, and you find four high-level psychics with strong combat power to protect him, he will really be cannon fodder.

After the news spread, the bidding for the [Team Contract] finally slowed down. Lin Zeyu made one last bid: "6.5 million."

The auctioneer called out the price three times, and when no one bid again, he struck the gavel.

Although the price was curbed by a message, 6.5 million is not a small amount and still shocked the guests present.

Therefore, after the transaction was completed, there was a lot of noise at the scene.

The auctioneer was also very excited. After all, he had sold an item for 6.5 million yuan, which was the highest price he had ever paid in his life.

However, the people present did not know that the price of this [Team Contract] in the previous life was raised to ten digits.

Because at that time, the psychics did not know much about the recruitment rules of the Abyss Battlefield and had not considered the impact of the team contract on the recruitment rules.

Lu Heng released this rule in advance, which directly caused the price of this contract to be reduced by one third compared to the previous life.

Auction ends.

Lin Zeyu and Yu Heping went to the backstage of the auction together to sign the contract and finalize the payment method of the auction money.

It is impossible to pay the price of 6.5 million directly on the spot, and we must go back and mobilize funds.

Therefore, of course, we cannot take this [Team Contract] away immediately.

……

After half an hour.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window on the top floor of Binhai Century Building, Ono Kenji called his assistant in and asked:
"Have you found out? Where did the news about the Abyss Battlefield recruitment rules come from?"

Pu Lizhi bowed and replied: "The information we found seems to have come from the Lin family."

"Lin family." Ono Kenji repeated these two words, his eyes narrowed slightly.

This news came from the Lin family, and there was nothing wrong with it, but the [Team Contract] was finally bought by Lin Zeyu.

When you connect the two things, something isn't quite right.

"Is it possible that the news is fake?" Kenji Ono raised this possibility.

Pu Lizhi bowed his head and replied, "Our people have also studied it. This news is very likely to be true. This news is consistent with the rules of the Abyss Battlefield that we summarized before."

Ono Kenji snorted, "The news may be true, but it's also true that the Lin family bought the contract."

Pu Lizhi lowered his head even lower: "The price of 6.5 million is already too high, and the Lin family didn't make any money from it."

Ono Kenji put aside the matter and asked, "I asked you to find a way to get into the Quenching Fort. Have you found a way to get in?"

Pu Lizhi carefully chose his words to answer: "According to the intelligence we have obtained so far, only three people have entered the Quenching Fort through the Century Bridge. They are Lu Heng, Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu. And, according to my speculation, the other two people were brought in by Lu Heng, so Lu Heng is the only one who may have the privilege of entering the Quenching Fort."

Ono Kenji pondered for a moment and asked, "Didn't you say you found other people who saved the Quenching Castle? Can't they get in either?"

"We're trying hard. There's still hope of getting in," Pulizhi replied.

"As long as we can get into the Quenching Fort, bring He Shangyong in. He is also a quenching master. If we can quench the weapons in the Quenching Fort, we will not be suppressed by the Lin family." Ono Kenji ordered.

"Yes! I'll arrange it right away."

During this period, Chunshang Group has been trying to open up channels in the quenching business.

Although a "Quenching Master" He Shangyong was pushed out, a Quenching Master who has to enter the abyss world to quench has no practical significance at all.

Chunshang Group has been trying to win over Lu Heng, but has not put all its eggs in one basket.

While trying to win over Lu Heng, Chunshang Group was also looking for a way to enter the Quenching Fort.

……

Quenching Fort.

Guru thought about Lu Heng's words for several days: Make Quenching Castle more lively.

He thought it would be nice to have some liveliness, and the miner named Hu Biao had been waiting outside the door for several days.

After all, he was the one who helped Quenching Fort escape from the abyss. Even if his contribution was low, he couldn't be left out in the cold for too long.

So, that evening, Quenching Fort officially opened its doors to Hu Biao.

When Hu Biao saw the door open, he stepped into the castle gate excitedly, and then saw Guru standing at the door holding a basin of something.

"Welcome, my friend. Please try the food I made."

Hu Biao looked down at the pot of something in Guru's hand, his eyes widened.

Because this thing was actually a pot of fried crispy... cockroaches!
"You want me to eat this?" Hu Biao pointed at the pot of cockroaches, his cheeks twitching.

"Yes." Gulu nodded.

Hu Biao was not sure if he would be kicked out if he refused. He had finally gotten in and it was just a bug he ate, so he wouldn't die.

He stretched out his hand with difficulty, picked up a fried cockroach, put it into his mouth with difficulty, not daring to chew it, and forced himself to swallow it with tears in his eyes.

When Guru saw Hu Biao eating with relish, he immediately showed a pleasantly surprised expression on his face and said, "Eat more. This bowl is not enough. There is more in the kitchen."

Hu Biao was completely paralyzed.
