#125 - Dry Witch Auction
December 13, 2062, according to the Chinese calendar.
This day is etched in the memories of countless Chinese people.
Although it happened a century ago, people have not completely forgotten that heavy history, even though that country is long gone, that dirty bloodline is still active in the world.
Disgusting!
In the distant universe, for countless powerhouses of the Ganwu Universe Country, this day is also very special.
The triennial Ganwu Auction is held today.
At the auction venue, all kinds of rare treasures attract countless powerhouses!
For many people...
No, for the entire Ganwu Universe Country, the Ganwu Auction is the largest and highest-level event besides the Genius Battle and the Powerhouse Battle.
Millions of world masters gather together!
Virtual universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island.
Nine-Star Bay Community, inside a luxurious villa, Yang Wu and his companions were ready to depart.
"Let's go!"
The four left the villa and came to a fixed "teleportation point" outside the Nine-Star Bay Community, traveling via Tianma.
"Teleport."
Yang Wu stood inside the teleportation point, holding the invitation to the Ganwu Auction.
In the next second, the invitation refracted light, instantly enveloping Yang Wu and his companions.
Whoosh!
Yang Wu and his group instantly disappeared from the spot, teleported to a floating city above the Ganwu Continent.
It is called a floating city, but its area is comparable to the Eurasian continent on Earth, suspended in the clouds.
The most dazzling, largest, and most elegant building is the destination of their trip.
Auction Hall!
The triennial Ganwu Auction is always held in this auction hall.
Yang Wu and the others suddenly appeared on a rooftop. At the entrance of the auction hall below, sixteen long queues were formed, with no end in sight.
The entire Ganwu Universe Country, with more than thirteen thousand star fields, densely packed with all kinds of humans, gathered from all over the place into a sea of people.
Everyone naturally exuded an aura, making Yang Wu and his companions feel oppressed.
"Hello, sir!
Welcome to this year's Ganwu Auction. Since you are a five-star VIP customer, we have specially prepared a VIP box for you."
At this moment, a receptionist came to Yang Wu and his group, respectfully introducing them.
"Please follow me!"
Yang Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If they really had to queue up, how long would it take with such a long line?
He gave up the three-star opportunity and participated in the auction as a five-star customer just to enjoy the privileges.
The group followed the receptionist to a luxurious box.
The VIP box was not large, but it was fully equipped, with a wide field of vision, allowing them to view the entire auction hall from a high position.
Like a football stadium on Earth, the seats in the entire auction hall were arranged in a ring around the central auction stage.
Looking around, it was densely packed.
"It's so big! There are so many people!"
Looking at the endless seats in the auction hall, Lei Shen couldn't help but exclaim.
Luo Feng and Hong also nodded, agreeing with him.
"Besides our hidden VIP boxes, there are 3 million seats here, each seat is six meters wide and ten meters high."
The entire Ganwu Universe Country has at least several million world masters. It is estimated that more than 1 million world masters are participating in this auction."
Yang Wu also sighed, it was the first time he had participated in a grand event with millions of people on the same stage.
"Millions of world masters?"
Hearing this terrifying number, Luo Feng and the others held their breath, their heartbeats quickening.
World masters, capable of creating a world and destroying all life on a planet with a single move. In the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, they are the top figures, and yet there are millions of them here. Looking at the dense crowd, throwing a brick would hit several world masters.
This scene was very dreamlike.
About an hour later.
"Everyone!"
A clear voice instantly resounded throughout the vast auction venue. The originally noisy auction hall immediately became quiet.
Everyone stopped talking and looked at a bald old man with a black tortoise shell on his back in the center of the auction hall. Above the old man, a nearly thousand-meter-high three-dimensional projection appeared.
"Welcome everyone to this Ganwu Auction. Thank you for the strong support from the Virtual Universe Company, the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, and the Ganwu Universe Country."
The tortoise-backed old man first gave a classic opening remark, and then began to introduce the situation of this auction.
"This Ganwu Auction has 1,126,038 participants, which can only be regarded as average in previous auctions."
"I believe most people are very familiar with me. Allow me to introduce myself again. I am Old Barto. I will be the host for this Ganwu Auction."
"Without further ado, according to the old rules, before the auction officially starts, let's have a pre-heating auction!"
Old Barto pointed to the side, and a huge screen suddenly appeared.
On the screen, a huge pool appeared. The water in the pool was extremely cold, exuding cold air, filling the entire pool.
"Locke Divine Water!"
"Everyone, our pre-heating auction item is this legendary Locke Divine Water. Locke Divine Water has incredibly amazing life force, which can be used to cultivate plant life and to treat the body."
The auction site was in an uproar.
Locke Divine Water has a very long history, its use is extremely wide, and its value is extremely high. The life energy it contains is far stronger in level and effect than life fruits.
Even for immortal-level plant life, it has a powerful effect. Not only the world masters present wanted to buy it, but also those immortal gods were eager to move.
"Locke Divine Water?"
Yang Wu's face was a little strange. If he remembered correctly, Luo Feng later encountered a large slave trader named Panxi, who possessed an entire lake of Locke Divine Water.
It was worth 6.3 billion mixed yuan units, and Luo Feng didn't seem to have used it all up until the end.
"The Locke Divine Water auctioned this time is 100,000 cubic meters, with a starting price of—
—300 mixed yuan units."
Old Barto shouted loudly: "Each increase must not be less than 10 mixed yuan units."
Suddenly, a line of numbers appeared on the screen next to it
"300 mixed yuan units".
"400 mixed yuan units."
The first bid was 400 mixed yuan units, but soon, everyone bid against each other.
The numbers on the big screen began to jump and be reorganized continuously,
400 mixed yuan units, 450 mixed yuan units, 510 mixed yuan units...
In the blink of an eye, the number came to 820 mixed yuan units, and the rate of increase began to slow down.
830, 840, 850...
Finally, 100,000 cubic meters of Locke Divine Water was auctioned for 910 mixed yuan units.
