Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 132 Auction

After leaving Latte's villa, Yang Wu intended to return directly to Flaming Mountain to continue comprehending the domain, but he hadn't gone far when he encountered Domain Lord Hei Ming again.

"Young friend Yang Wu!" Hei Ming greeted him with a smile.

"Senior Black Nether!"

Yang Wu was not surprised to see Hei Ming. A moment later, Yang Wu invited Hei Ming to his home.

Yang Wu's feelings toward Hei Ming are now very complicated.

I am certainly grateful.

Putting aside his experience in the simulator, Black Nether has provided him with a lot of help in the past year or so.

However, his experience in the simulator left a thorn in Yang Wu's side!

"Was the Black Netherworld truly the murderer who ultimately killed me?"

This question had been on Yang Wu's mind for a long time.

After arriving at Yang Wu's house, Yang Wu and Hei Ming first discussed their understanding of the fire domain. Then Hei Ming asked why Latte had come to Yang Wu.

"Young friend Yang Wu, may I ask what business the master of Rhine Star has with you? If you are in any trouble, I may be able to help."

Hei Ming's tone was very sincere, but because of what happened in the simulator, Yang Wu ultimately chose to conceal the fact that he had become an apprentice.

"It's just a small matter!" Yang Wu said with a smile. "The master of Rhine Star saw that I had good talent and wanted to take me as his apprentice, but I refused!"

"The master of Rhine Star wants to take you as his disciple?" Hei Ming asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Yang Wu nodded.

"Although the master of Rhine Star has an extraordinary background, with your talent, young friend, you really don't need to become his disciple!" Hei Ming said with a smile.

"However..." Hei Ming changed the subject, continuing, "Young friend, you've comprehended the fifth level of the domain at such a young age; you must have a powerful teacher behind you. I wonder if I, Hei Ming, could have the honor of meeting your teacher?"

As expected, just like in the simulator, Hei Ming once again mentioned his desire to meet Yang Wu's teacher.

"Senior Hei Ming, you are unaware of the truth. I merely received the inheritance of a deceased powerful figure by sheer luck; I had no teacher to guide me!"

In order to find out the truth about what happened in the simulator, Yang Wu simply told the other party, based on his experience in the simulator, that there was no teacher behind him.

However, in the simulator, Yang Wu did not have a living immortal behind him, but now, Yang Wu has a marquis-level immortal behind him, the Golden Light Marquis.

Now that he felt more confident, he naturally wanted to know whether it was Black Nether who had killed him in the simulator!

If not, he will naturally help in the future; but if it really is Hei Ming, he will not be merciful.

After all, he didn't get killed in the simulation, so he's bound to make even more amazing progress.

"This..." Hei Ming was quite surprised after hearing Yang Wu's words.

However, Hei Ming did not press the matter further, but changed the subject and continued to talk to Yang Wu about other things.

……

In the days that followed, Hei Ming's attitude towards Yang Wu remained unchanged.

Yang Wu, on the other hand, had been cultivating in the Flaming Mountain.

November arrived quickly, and after nearly three years of travel, the adventurer team from the Noranshan family finally flew into the solar system.

However, unlike in the original story, what awaits them this time are the eight eighth-level cosmic-level slaves left behind by Yang Wu on Earth.

As expected, Luo Feng and his group successfully learned about the spatial wormhole and the location of their family fleet from the adventurer team.

Subsequently, before the Norlan Mountain family's star-level fleet could react, all the cosmic-level slaves sent by Yang Wu to intercept and kill them had been dealt with.

Luo Feng successfully submitted Earth's data to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's government office, becoming Earth's new lord.

Originally, Luo Feng and the others planned to make Yang Wu the lord of Earth, but Yang Wu had already changed his nationality to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom in order to sever ties with Earth, and now that he had successfully become a disciple of Jin Guanghou, it was naturally impossible for him to become the new lord of Earth.

Otherwise, wouldn't all his previous preparations have been wasted?

……

2062 12 Month 16 Day.

Virtual universe, Heilongshan Island.

Holding the invitation, Yang Wu arrived at the special teleportation point and was directly teleported to a floating city above the Qianwu Continent.

The invitation in Yang Wu's hand emitted specks of light, and then the defense system of the floating city automatically opened a passage, which Yang Wu then walked into.

A moment later, Yang Wu appeared on an incredibly exquisite landmass floating in the clouds. The scenery on the land was beautiful, with flowers and plants everywhere. The most dazzling place was the enormous auction hall located at the very center of the continent.

The triennial Ganwu Auction is always held here!

Those who participate in the auction must be at least three-star clients of the two major banks, Universe First Bank and Universe Galaxy Bank!

Only those with an account balance of 10 Mixed Yuan Units can automatically become three-star customers of the two major banks and enjoy many special privileges.

Most of these three-star clients are world lord-level powerhouses, with very few being large businessmen who span star regions or young people with super backgrounds.

In the universe, many precious items are restricted and cannot be found even if you want to buy them normally. There are also many items that you cannot buy even if you have money.

The "Qianwu Auction" held in this virtual universe provides countless powerful individuals with many opportunities to purchase precious items.

Of course, three-star customers can only participate in the "Basic Auction", while the higher-level "Intermediate Auction" and "Advanced Auction" require at least four-star or five-star customers to participate.

As a three-star client of the world's number one bank, Yang Wu was naturally qualified to participate in this preliminary auction.

Originally, Yang Wu had planned to invite Latte to participate as well, but Latte had long lost interest in this triennial primary auction, so he simply told Yang Wu that he could come to him if he needed more money, and then ignored him.

At this moment, two long lines had formed at the entrance of the auction hall, filled with powerful figures dressed in either magnificent or simple attire. Some were over ten meters tall and incredibly robust, while others had human heads and snake bodies, densely packed together like a sea of ​​people.

The auction hall has 16 entrances in total, and there are nearly 10,000 people on Yang Wu's side alone.

There are 16 entrances in total, and the number of realm masters participating in the auction is simply unimaginable.

While waiting in line, Yang Wu occasionally overheard discussions among the powerful individuals nearby.

"Putan, I heard you joined the Sixth Legion of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. Which legion were you assigned to?"

A powerful lion-man with a lion's head and a human body asked his companion.

A powerful figure in silver armor standing beside him said in a deep voice, "Yes, I joined the 31st Army of the Third Legion fifty years ago, but now I really regret it. In another two hundred years, our Sixth Legion might be assigned to the outer battlefields!"

"An extraterritorial battlefield?" the lion-man warrior asked in surprise.

"Yes!" the silver-armored powerhouse said helplessly, "I never expected to be this unlucky. I thought I could find refuge with a powerful backer, but instead I'm being exiled to the outer battlefield!"

"What bad luck!" the lion-man warrior sighed. "But Putan, don't be too discouraged. There are still two hundred years left. Maybe you'll have enough merits to retire by then!"

"It's difficult!" exclaimed the powerful figure named Putan. "Retiring within two hundred years is simply too difficult!"

……

Most of the powerful figures around Yang Wu came in groups or knew each other, and they were chatting in small groups.

However, the queue at the auction hall moved relatively quickly.

Before long, it was Yang Wu's turn.

"Hello sir, welcome to this year's Qianwu Auction. This is your seat number."

Yang Wu smiled and accepted the token handed to him by the staff. The black token had a semi-transparent screen that displayed Yang Wu's seat number – KNY76278.

Yang Wu walked into the auction hall and found that the overall structure of the auction hall was like a "football field" on Earth, with a high auction platform in the middle and densely packed tall seats all around.

"KNY76278".

Holding his black token, Yang Wu quickly found his seat.

Each seat in the auction hall is six meters wide and ten meters high, totaling three million tall seats arranged in concentric circles, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The auction hall was filled with a cacophony of voices, echoing like countless gods conversing.

Realm Lord-level powerhouses, who are rarely seen in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, are as numerous as carp crossing a river here.

After all, this place gathers a group of elites from the top echelons of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. The entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom has millions of World Lord level experts.
