Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate - Chapter 395 - 391: Outrageous Teleportation Fee

“Hurry! I heard Beidou Auction House is auctioning several top-grade secret treasures, let’s go take a look!”

“It seems this time the highlight is Tier Ten crafting materials, let’s also join in the fun.”

Holy Sanctuary District.

On the bustling street, urgent shouts rise and fall.

Many people rush hurriedly along the street, heading quickly in the same direction.

Just coming from the territory, Lin You is instantly attracted by their conversation.

Beidou Auction House.

If he remembers correctly, it should be the second most influential force in Holy Sanctuary, after Ten Thousand Treasures Tower and Shifang Pavilion.

And unlike Ten Thousand Treasures Tower and Shifang Pavilion.

To survive in Holy Sanctuary, Beidou Auction House directly took a different path, adopting an all-day auction strategy, auctioning in time slots.

Their large auctions are rare, but small auctions happen almost every two hours, especially auctioning small, popular treasures, not competing with the other two for high-end items.

This strategy can be said to be very successful.

It quickly allowed Beidou Auction House to rank among the major auction houses in Holy Sanctuary, adored by innumerable mid to low-end consumers.

Lin You did not expect.

The highlight of Beidou Auction House this time is actually Tier Ten materials.

He must go and see.

Looking around, he immediately changes direction, following the crowd to another street.

Soon, he arrives outside the teeming Beidou Auction House.

Even from a distance, he can already hear the host’s voice inside.

“Respected guests, welcome to our Beidou Auction House. Now is the second auction of the day. Without further ado, let’s bring out the seventh item!”

Already the seventh auction item?

Lin You is surprised.

Generally speaking, small auctions usually have no more than ten items.

That means the auction for Tier Ten materials is coming soon.

He dare not waste time, purchases a ticket and follows the queue through the entrance into the ongoing auction hall.

At this moment, the entire semicircular giant hall is filled with lords and cultivators from various countries.

Upon entering, a wave of heat rushes at him.

Alongside are massive clamor and shouts.

“I bid 1 million!”

“2 million!”

“3 million! It’s mine!”

“3 million, you wish to take it with that? I bid 5 million!”

“5 million! This lord bids 5 million! Is there anyone higher?”

…

On the stage, the bidding continues uninterrupted, all fiercely bidding for the seventh item.

Some even raise their small cards in hand, flushed and thick-necked, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

Lin You circles around, finally finding an empty seat towards the back to sit down.

A card for bidding rests on the seat, which he naturally picks up.

Then.

He looks upwards to the platform, at the item placed on the stage, and the information shown on the huge screen above.

[Species Secret Treasure: Primordial Burst]

[Treasure Type: Enhancement]

[Secret Treasure Level: SS-level]

[Treasure Effect: Power increase by 3%, attacks ignore 30% of the enemy’s defense, usable by close combat species.]

[Introduction: A secret treasure for species enhancement, can be used in the species base, enhancing only one type of species.]

It turns out to be a species secret treasure that boosts power and pierces armor, and even SS-level.

No wonder it’s so fiercely contested.

Such treasures that directly increase attributes are the most favored by lords, and 30% armor-piercing isn’t low either.

Absolutely capable of maximizing close combat species’ attack capabilities.

As he’s thinking.

This treasure’s auction reaches its end.

Finally purchased by a Tier Eight Lord for 11 million, leaving numerous Tier Seven Lords sighing with envy.

For Tier Seven Lords, ten million Magic Energy is unquestionably a huge sum.

Even if they can afford it, they must consider whether they can bear the cost.

“Alright, the seventh item auction has been successful, thank you all for your support, next up is the highlight of this round, Tier Ten crafting materials!”

“Wow—”

“Tier Ten materials! There truly are!”

“So quickly to the highlight? So exciting!”

As soon as the host finishes speaking, the audience erupts in amazement, standing up from their seats.

Even Lin You, sitting at the back, can’t help but stand up, looking towards where the host points.

Soon.

A tray obscured with a black cloth is carefully placed on stage by the attendant, instantly arousing everyone’s curiosity.

“I suppose everyone has heard about the highlight of this round’s auction, indeed! It’s the materials from a Tier Ten demon!”

The host directly lifts the black cloth, revealing within a crystal clear azure crystal.

Meanwhile, a string of information promptly appears on the screen above.

[Material: Ice Elemental Core]

[Level: Tier Ten]

[Introduction: Power core of the Ice Element Venerable, containing extremely potent ice power, can be used for crafting equipment.]

Exactly.

It’s the material from the Ice Element Venerable during the previous demon riot, and it’s the most crucial core part.

Lin You is astonished, not expecting Beidou Auction House to actually snatch this material from the other two houses.

“Everyone should know what this can be used for, it’s precisely essential for crafting Tier Ten equipment!”

“As long as you have it, you’ll have a chance to obtain a piece of Tier Ten equipment!”

“Even if lacking the Power of Rule, it surpasses other equipment countless times over, absolutely the best aid for boosting strength!”

“No more nonsense, starting bid is 8 million, each increase no less than 1 million, auction begins!”

This host is evidently an expert, speaking captivatingly eloquent words, while completely ignoring this material’s drawbacks.

Indeed.

This material can be used to craft Tier Ten equipment.

But you also need to find a Tier Ten Master Craftsman to craft it for you.

Without someone to craft it, this material is merely a harder ice attribute stone at most, utterly useless.

The auction house clearly knew this too, so the initial price offered isn’t high.

Lin You estimates that this is just the cost price they bought it for; it’s merely bought as a gimmick to attract attention.

Indeed.

Quite a while passed.

No one in the venue made a bid, each person appeared hesitant.

“10 million!”

Finally, the first bid appeared.

It was made by a Tier Eight Lord sitting in the corner.

With his lead, the entire auction hall finally began to sound with shout after shout.

“12 million!”

“13 million!”

“14 million!”

“15 million!”

…

It was obvious that the bidding frequency wasn’t high, only a few Lords above Tier Eight were bidding one after another.

But each bid still stirred the audience into a hubbub.

“Did I hear wrong? They suddenly raised it to 15 million?”

“Is there really someone willing to buy this flashy impractical thing?”

“Could they be confident they’ll find a Tier Ten Artisan to help?”

Over 10 million Magic Energy.

It’s enough to buy two Species Secret Treasures with decent attributes.

And they would directly enhance their strength.

Yet, now it’s being used to buy crafting materials that might rot in their hands; it’s truly incomprehensible.

While the crowd exclaimed and discussed.

The auction price finally slowly rose above 20 million, the bidders started hesitating, and the bids slowed down.

“30 million!”

Suddenly, a shout interrupted the discussions.

Everyone looked where the voice came from in astonishment, they saw Lin You sitting at the end, calmly raising his bidding sign.

“30 million! This Lord has bid 30 million! Is there any higher bid?”

The host shouted excitedly, the fat on his face trembling.

He originally thought selling the material for 25 million would be good enough, but he didn’t expect it to exceed his expectations.

Hurriedly, he raised his auction hammer and lightly tapped.

“30 million going once!”

“31 million!”

At this point, another shout came.

Lin You frowned, looking at where the voice originated.

It was surprisingly the Tier Eight Lord who started bidding first.

It seems this guy also wanted the material.

Without much thought, he directly bid: “35 million!”

The value of a Tier Ten Equipment is at least counted in the billions.

A mere tens of millions of Magic Energy, he could still afford to bid.

Too lazy to argue with the other, he directly added 4 million, showing a determined look.

This time, the Tier Eight Lord finally showed emotion, turned back to give him a deep look, and then raised his bidding sign once more.

“36 million!”

“40 million.”

Lin You’s voice followed shortly, with hardly any hesitation.

This instantly quieted the entire venue, everyone looking at him with a stunned expression.

Spending 40 million Magic Energy to buy a material that might not even be crafted into equipment, wouldn’t he feel it’s not worth it?

Moreover, the way he increased the bid was too crude, adding millions at a time!

Where did this wealthy man suddenly pop up from?

Not just the audience.

Even the Tier Eight Lord didn’t expect Lin You to be so resolute.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally shook his head helplessly, got up, and left the venue; it looked like he gave up on the bid.

“40 million! Is there any higher bid?”

The host was full of pride, raising his auction hammer high.

“40 million going once… 40 million going twice… Sold!”

Finally.

With an excited shout, Lin You successfully won the bid for the Ice Elemental Core, causing another stir in the venue.

Lin You didn’t linger for long, leaving the venue under the astonished gaze of the crowd, heading to the auction’s backstage.

“Sir, this is the item you successfully bid on; please confirm it.”

Seeing him appear, the backstage staff immediately greeted him respectfully, handing over a box containing the Ice Elemental Core.

Lin You took it, opened the box for a look, and nodded silently: “Yes, it’s correct.”

His expression was very calm, but inside, he couldn’t help feeling excited.

Because with this thing, he could finally seek Mageon’s help to craft Tier Ten Equipment.

This time.

He must forge a piece of powerful equipment that can resist Demon Type abnormal states!

Thinking thus, Lin You put away the box, turned around, and left, heading back to his territory.

Until noon.

He brought all the materials to the super long-distance teleportation array of the Dwarf Tribe, asking the dwarves to help activate the teleportation array.

[Teleportation array activation successful, this teleportation will consume 10 million Magic Energy. Would you like to proceed with teleportation?]

Damn!

So expensive!

Though he had heard that super long-distance teleportation required a lot of resources.

Upon hearing firsthand, Lin You was still surprised, instantly shattering his idea of using the teleportation array for commerce.

No choice.

To quickly craft Tier Ten Equipment, this money was still worth spending.

“Teleport!”

As soon as the word dropped, the teleportation array suddenly lit up with brilliant white light, illuminating the surroundings.

Then, as the space twisted, he and several accompanying dwarves from the Barbarian Hammer Tribe disappeared from their original spot.
