After the lean superhuman was fully dressed and ready, the burly superhuman slammed his fist into the armor.
The lean superhuman was immediately sent flying, rolling twice on the ground.
But he stood up as if nothing had happened, dusting himself off, and walked along the guests' seats to show them the places where the beast weapons had been hit, which were completely undamaged.
Everyone here is shrewd; they know there must be some acting involved. A punch from a B-level ability user should be able to leave a mark on this B-level alien beast equipment.
But in any case, the physical defense is still considerable and can be life-saving in critical moments, so 300 million is not expensive.
After testing the physical defense, the C-level water-based ability user launched a fierce attack on the armored demonstrator, but despite using all his skills, he couldn't damage the armor in the slightest.
This also proves that the Blue Centipede Armor's C-level water element immunity is genuine.
"The equipment display is now complete. Guests, please make your bids!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the superhuman with a single horn on his head raised his sign and shouted, "360 million!"
They don't have much funding, and they're here today mainly for these "appetizers." As for the A-grade and S-grade alien beast equipment that follow, they'll just take a look.
The one-horned superhuman thought that since he had already increased the price by 60, no one would compete with him for the beast equipment. But then an old man with a white beard raised his sign and increased the price to 400 million.
She even looked at him rather provocatively.
The unicorn-wielder felt a chill run down his spine. He had a grudge against this old man before, and the old man's purpose was quite obvious.
But he really needed the Blue Centipede Armor, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and add another 20.
The old man chuckled, looking like he had him cornered, and then raised the price.
In the end, the Azure Coin, which had an initial bid of 300 million, was bought for 600 million.
Seeing the humiliated expression on the face of the one-horned superhuman, the white-bearded old man smiled smugly.
It was Yang Xi's first time seeing an auction, and he was incredibly curious. Fortunately, his superhuman disguise and acting skills helped him avoid giving himself away.
Old Qian blew lightly on the boiling tea and said leisurely, "If this Blue Centipede Armor is worth more than 500 million, it's a loss."
Yang Xi said pretentiously, "In my opinion, if you buy something you're satisfied with, there's no such thing as losing money or not."
Old Qian didn't take it to heart and said with a smile, "Your Excellency Youji is right. It was I who was too attached to appearances."
Then, one by one, various mythical beast equipment with different shapes and functions were brought out, and the atmosphere at the scene gradually became more and more enthusiastic. The transaction volume quickly exceeded 100 million yuan, and then exceeded 200 million yuan.
Looking at the big shots below waving their cards and talking about millions of Azure Coins, Yang Xi couldn't help but sigh, this world truly belongs to those with superpowers.
If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't earn enough in their entire life to buy even one piece of beast equipment.
During his observations, Yang Xi gradually discovered a phenomenon: these beast weapons were often made by collecting a part of a beast.
This made him wonder.
For example, if a beast is too large, how much of its dark energy could be contained in a part of it?
However, among the S-class alien beast weapons that Yang Xi has stripped away so far, he can basically obtain a dark energy cube with about one-third the amount of an S-class alien energy bead.
How did these equipment makers manage to do that?
Do they also possess the technology to transfer energy?
This is clearly impossible. If such technology truly existed within the equipment manufacturing community, then low-level alien beast weapons would not appear at the basic level.
The price difference between the next higher level of beast equipment and the next lower level of beast equipment is quite significant.
It far exceeds the increase in energy.
Therefore, Yang Xi is certain that these equipment makers do not possess the technology to transfer energy. So what is the answer to this mystery?
Recalling what the host had said earlier, Yang Xi had a guess in mind, but to really figure it out, he would have to consult Master Qian, the master of manufacturing.
140 I, Jill, want to try out this stuff!
Once the price of the A-grade beast equipment was finalized, the real highlight of the auction began.
As the lights in the venue dimmed, a spotlight searched back and forth across the seats, eventually settling on a particular corner.
"Clap clap clap!"
A series of lights came on, and four square glass boxes covered with red cloth appeared in everyone's sight. Unlike the A and B grade alien beast equipment just now, the four S grade alien beast equipment were escorted by four burly men, all of whom were A grade ability users. Judging from their domineering aura, they seemed to be very strong and were among the best in the A grade.
However, some representatives of powerful forces among the guests present were somewhat disdainful. They couldn't believe that the once prestigious Qian family of the Fanhai Chamber of Commerce had fallen to such a state that they couldn't even muster an S-level expert to maintain their reputation.
However, it's also possible that the Qian family did this intentionally, perhaps they have some hidden strength.
Since the two middle-aged heads of the Qian family died or disappeared, the old master Qian Bukui, who had long since retired behind the scenes, returned to the scene and sold off most of the Qian family's assets like a warrior cutting off his own arm. He then came to Lukang City in mainland China with his granddaughter to live in seclusion, which indeed gave the precarious Qian family a breather.
There are many rumors that the Qian family offended someone they shouldn't have, which is why they have rapidly declined from a top power in the four sea regions to their current state.
But for many people, the Qian family of the Vanhai Chamber of Commerce is already a powerful force that needs to be looked up to. What kind of existence is capable of doing all this?
Aside from his last trump card lurking in the shadows, Mr. Qian somehow managed to get in touch with a mysterious organization that had become unusually active recently.
According to the intelligence from Gray Fortress, the organization is called Judgment, and four members have already appeared, all of whom are Super A-level or even suspected S-level.
Moreover, according to Grayburg's prediction, the power of this ruling has probably only revealed the tip of the iceberg.
However, even this exposed portion, by the standards of the four major sea areas, is not to be underestimated.
These forces were initially puzzled as to why such an organization would suddenly emerge, given the constant harvesting of geniuses in the mainland. However, based on the information revealed in the conversation between Youji and Jill, it is likely that this Judgment Organization also has a background in the four major sea regions.
Perhaps, this is yet another move by some powerful force.
Extremely high efficiency is perhaps a major characteristic of those with superpowers. Without much fanfare, the host immediately brought out an S-class beast equipment.
The red cloth was torn down.
This is a pair of exquisite gloves, white with delicate gold thread embroidery on the surface, and a ruby the size of a pigeon egg set on the back of the hand.
Without even a host's introduction, knowledgeable guests among them started discussing it animatedly.
"Isn't this one of Qian Lao's masterpieces, the Gloves of Light?"
"Yes, a two-star S-class alien beast weapon!"
"It's said that even an A-level physical enhancement user can go toe-to-toe with an S-level powerhouse after wearing this glove!"
"The Qian family is indeed the Qian family; their actions are truly extraordinary."
"The Qian family can even put up this kind of two-star S-grade alien beast equipment for auction? You think they don't have an S-grade expert hidden away? Nobody would believe that!"
Looking at the uproar among the guests below, Old Qian chuckled a few times. This was the effect he wanted. The Gloves of Light were his masterpiece, and he was showing them off now to deter any unscrupulous villains below.
A glint of greed flashed in Jill's eyes; he was also tempted by the Gloves of Light!
Actually, the Gloves of the God of Light should have been the grand finale, but Old Master Qian saw that Jill wanted to cause trouble, so he decided to bring out the Praise of the God of Light first to keep things in check and discourage Jill from his mischievous ideas.
Given the reputation of the God of Light, and the fact that showcasing an S-rank alien weapon required an A-rank ability user, the host skipped the demonstration and announced the starting price for the two-star S-rank alien weapon.
"Starting bid is 200 million, and each bid must be at least 5 million Azure Coins!"
The astronomical price did nothing to dampen the guests' enthusiasm, and the price of the Praise of the God of Light quickly broke through the 250 million mark.
Two-star S-class alien beast weapons are only available at this store once they're sold out. Representatives of powerful forces who were originally sent to spy on the Qian family's strengths and weaknesses also became greedy and started raising prices like crazy.
When the price exceeded their control, they actually started calling their organization or family on the spot, requesting higher authority.
As the prices climbed higher and higher, Jill's face grew increasingly grim.
He didn't come here to witness the Qian family making such a grand spectacle.
"The cunning old man deliberately brought out the final product first."
He glanced at the three pieces of beast equipment he had brought. He had originally planned to compare them with the other slightly inferior beast weapons from the Qian family when they were brought out. These three one-star beast weapons were carefully selected by Jill, and he was absolutely confident that they could crush the remaining three beast weapons from the Qian family.
The Fire Dragon Scepter leaned closer, "Should we make a move?"
He's the one Jill arranged to use the S-class alien weapon to slap the Qian family in the face later.
Jill shook her head. "Wait a little longer."
Inside the Qian family's private room.
Watching the auction price soar to 300 million, Qian Duoduo was both happy and a little disappointed. This Glove of Light was his grandfather's beloved collection, but today it could only be put up for auction.
Grandpa Qian saw through his granddaughter's thoughts and patted her head to show that it was alright.
Turning to Yang Xi, he said, "Your Excellency Youji, if your organization is interested in this, you might as well try raising the price. Don't worry about bidding; we Qian family have the financial backing."
Actually, the Qian family members are naturally stingy, but from the moment Mr. Qian came into contact with the Rooster, he began to give them money, intentionally or unintentionally, all for the sake of his beloved granddaughter and beautiful apprentice.
Yang Xi's lips twitched. The Judgment Organization only had 200 million in funds. These big powers are really damn rich.
Yang Xi greedily looked around, wondering if he should wait until the auction ended to make a fortune.
They're all big, fat sheep!
"Then we shall accept your judgment."
"Why not take it if it's free?" Yang Xi knew exactly what the Qian family needed. Since he had decided to support them, why not accept these hundreds of millions in protection money?
The Snake can earn 230 million just from going out "hunting" once, so what does it have to be afraid of?
With a smile, Mr. Qian waved his hand, and staff members in the private room went downstairs to hold up the sign for Yang Xi.
Ultimately, the Gloves of Light were auctioned off to the Judgment Organization for 315 million.
"Wow, this tribunal is that rich?"
"That's not necessarily true. Who knows what kind of discount the money will get? It's like it's going in one hand and out the other, practically a buy-one-get-one-free deal."
"You're right. I think this Gloves of Light is a gift that the Qian family is going to give to the Judgment Bureau. Putting it up for auction is just to make us, a bunch of idiots, drive up the price for the Qian family."
"Stop being so sour, buddy. If you had the power of the Tribunal, instead of the Qian family, I'd personally give you 300 million!"
Next, the second S-class beast equipment will make its debut.
"One-star S-class alien beast weapon, Black Jade Shield."
The host gave a brief introduction and was about to announce the starting price.
Jill, who had been waiting for quite some time, picked up an S-class beast weapon and handed it to her subordinates, sneering at everyone, "Before selling something, you have to let us try it out, right?"
Inside the private room, Yang Xi almost burst out laughing. This was just too damn coincidental.
The piece of equipment that Jill casually picked up was the beast equipment whose dark energy he had drained!
141 Who am I? What am I doing here?
Without waiting for the auction staff to come out and stop him, he jumped onto the stage with the Fire Dragon Scepter, which was equipped with the exotic beast equipment.
