You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 90: The Auction Begins!
“That’s natural. Unless you have the opportunity to transfer to other types of ghost realms like you, the outer areas of ghost realms that are usually teleported from different universes are independent and cannot visit each other,” Lu Ke explained. “However, once you reach the core area, you can run into each other.”

"Then we'll show our true colors and see who can break through level 0 first!"

Li Zhe understood.

From this perspective, this teleportation mechanism is equivalent to giving each blue planet in the universe a period of independent development time.

Once you reach the core area, will everyone rely on their own skills to fight it out in a chaotic battle royale?

I wonder if our planet, Blue Planet No. 7, will be able to hold out once the navigation beacon to the core area is activated...

Just as Li Zhe was contemplating the future of his home planet, Blue Star.

Lu Ke lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "By the way, brother, what treasures do you plan to put up for auction this time?"

"I heard there are a lot of good things at this auction!"
"Those 'mind hackers' in Universe 3 seem to have obtained a 'mind controller' that can directly attack the soul."

"And those 'wasteland rangers' from Universe 5 found a 'source energy crystal' that is said to be a remnant of a civilization from the previous era, with an energy purity that is frighteningly high!"

As Lu Ke spoke, he had a knowing look on his face.

Li Zhe listened to this intelligence and was secretly astonished.

These parallel universes of blue planets truly each have their own unique circumstances.

This Luke is practically a social butterfly across the multiverse; he knows a lot.

"I heard that there are two people in Universe 1 who are qualified to enter the Star Trading Market?" Li Zhe asked casually. "Are you familiar with the specifics of Universe 1?"

“Universe 1? Hey, those two are both known for being aloof.” Luke shrugged. “See that girl in the pink dress over there? She’s one of them… and there’s another one…”

Just as the two were chatting.

A clear, ethereal voice suddenly rang out.

"You came."

Li Zhe and Lu Ke turned their heads at the same time and saw the girl in the blue robe and stockings, with an ethereal air—Song Yuan from Universe 1.

Her projection remained as ethereal and otherworldly as ever, seemingly untouched by worldly concerns.

But when her gaze fell on Li Zhe.

A barely perceptible hint of anticipation flickered in those calm, still eyes.

“Say so, and here you are! And the next one is Song Yuan right here in front of you!” Lu Ke introduced to Li Zhe.

Song Yuan's expression remained unchanged.

Her attention was completely focused on Li Zhe.

“I have something I’d like to discuss with Li Zhe, Mr. Lu Ke…” Song Yuan glanced at Lu Ke.

"Oh? So you two have already met... Well, I have something to attend to, you two can chat sometime." Lu Ke tactfully walked away and moved to another part of the square to chat with others.

Seeing Lu Ke walk away, Song Yuan then spoke with Li Zhe.

"Have you prepared what I need?"

"of course."

Li Zhe has submitted the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to the auction list.

He showed her the product images through the transaction window.

When Song Yuan saw the ancient-style cover and the Taoist-inspired text on it...

For the first time, a violent emotional fluctuation appeared on her perpetually icy face.

The projected body even trembled slightly with excitement.

"This...this is..."

She stretched out her slender fingers, as if she wanted to touch the display image in the trading window.

But he quickly withdrew his hand, fearing it was just an illusion.

"The writing on this... I've seen it in our world before." Song Yuan looked at Li Zhe with expectant eyes. "How do you pronounce these words?"

“The Classic of Mountains and Seas,” Li Zhe said succinctly.

"Excellent...excellent! What a wonderful Classic of Mountains and Seas!"

Song Yuan said "good" three times in a row, her voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Li Zhe, tell me your estimated price. As long as I can afford it, I will definitely pay the full amount at the auction."

"The price..." Li Zhe stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

He originally intended to directly offer the price of "two dimensional keys".

But on second thought, I felt something was amiss.

Directly revealing your needs can easily put you in a passive position during the subsequent auction.

So he decided to try a different approach. "Let's not talk about the estimated price for now," Li Zhe said slowly, looking at Song Yuan. "I need you to do a divination for me first."

"Fortune telling?" Song Yuan was taken aback.

“Yes.” Li Zhe nodded. “Help me calculate whether something I need will appear at this auction.”

He did not directly mention "the key to the plane".

Instead, a rather vague statement was used.

Song Yuan was incredibly intelligent and naturally understood what he meant.

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes again.

This time, she spent even longer divining.

The projected image's face also grew increasingly pale.

Even her data projections began to become somewhat unstable.

It seemed as if it might disappear at any moment...

"puff--"

Finally, she suddenly opened her eyes.

A mouthful of "blood" spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"I saw it...I saw it..."

Her voice was weak.

But more than anything, it was a feeling of relief and joy.

“Although I can’t see exactly what you want… I’m certain that it will appear… and more than one.” She looked at Li Zhe.

An unusual light flickered in Song Yuan's deep eyes.

"Your fate is indeed full of unpredictable twists and turns..."

at this time.

A melodious bell rang throughout the entire trading hall.

【Ding--! 】

[The monthly auction in Trading Hall 42 has officially begun!]

[All mech pilots, please proceed to the central auction stage for your seats!]

A system notification sound rang out.

In the center of the square, a huge circular auction platform slowly rose.

A series of high-tech floating seats are arranged around the auction stage.

Luke then teleported over.

"You two should have finished talking, right?" Lu Ke chuckled a few times.

"The auction has started, brother, I'm going over first." Lu Ke nodded to Li Zhe, then easily found a seat.

Li Zhe also put aside his thoughts and followed.

After giving Li Zhe a deep look, Song Yuan silently followed behind.

The three of them found a seat next to each other and sat down.

A huge virtual screen unfolded above the auction stage.

A man dressed in a tailcoat and wearing a top hat.

A projected host with a small mustache, resembling a classic game character, appeared on the screen.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Mech pilots from eight universes! Welcome to this month's Star Auction!"

The host's voice was full of passion and infectious energy.

"Beneath the shadows of the abyss, we are gathered here by the guidance of the stars! Here, we will witness the birth of miracles, exchange our strengths, and together forge a sword to fight against the darkness!"

He gave a passionate opening speech.

The atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited.

"Alright, enough chit-chat! Let's bring out our first item for today's auction!"

As he spoke, a crystal-clear display case slowly rose from the center of the auction stage.

Inside the display case, lay silently a dark red object, its surface crisscrossed with lava-like patterns, exuding an aura of destruction…

Crimson dragon egg...
