Chapter 125

When Gu Ding returned to the appraisal room where the little old man was, the little old man was not very surprised. He climbed onto the table and sat cross-legged on it. He crossed his arms over his chest and said to Gu Ding, "Usually, there are only two kinds of people who come to me. One is those who want to increase the auction item, and the other is those who want to cancel the deal. I'm guessing that you're the former. "

"How do you know that I'm not here to cancel the deal?" Gu Ding did not immediately state his intentions. Instead, he asked.

"It's simple. It's because you have no use for these Witch Tribe items. Selling them is the wisest choice. Moreover, you were very satisfied with the estimated price I quoted earlier. This further proves that you won't cancel the deal, "the little old man said confidently.

"Alright." Gu Ding took out the Witch Tribe staff. "Register this as well!"

"Are you sure you want to sell this?" The little old man frowned slightly when he saw the staff. He had previously told Gu Ding that it was not worth it to auction this item here.

"Yes." Gu Ding had already discussed this matter with Neptune. The staff was indeed of no use to them, so exchanging it for the axe was the best deal.

"Then you should also know that if we auction it here, it's very likely that the estimated price will not be as high as I gave," the little old man confirmed again.

"I understand!" Gu Ding nodded. A two-star Cosmic Nation and a five-star Cosmic Nation were not on the same level at all. Even for powerhouses of the same level, there was a huge gap in wealth between the two. In a five-star Cosmic Nation, the staff's reserve price in the auction hall should be ten billion Universe Credits. However, in a two-star Cosmic Nation, whether the final bid could exceed ten billion Universe Credits was a big problem.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind? Why are you in such a hurry to sell it?" The little old man felt that Gu Ding must have encountered something to make such a decision.

"I suddenly realized that I don't have enough money to spend, so I sold it earlier." Gu Ding did not intend to tell anyone about the axe. If anyone else knew about it, it would very likely make it difficult for him to get the axe.

The little old man had expected such an answer, so he did not pursue it further. Since the other party was unwilling to say, there was not much point in asking. He immediately registered the staff's auction information for Gu Ding and took the staff from him. Unlike the other items, he carefully stored the staff in a box and put it in his storage space.

After leaving the appraisal room, Gu Ding talked to Lily for a while and found out that she and Biggie were still shopping for clothes. He turned around and walked toward the second tower.

In less than half an hour, he had visited the entire sixth floor of the four towers and bought most of the items on Robert's list, except for the last three items.

Having gained a lot, he returned to the Grey-faced Buzzard in advance and handed the materials to Robert. Gu Ding dialed Lilliath's communicator again. "Lily, I'm back on the spaceship."

"So fast? Did you get everything Robert wanted? If you don't have any, Biggie and I will buy some after we're done shopping. "It was obvious that Liliath had lost track of time from all the shopping.

"I've bought them. There are still three more materials that I haven't found, but Neptune shouldn't have missed them, so you don't have to waste time shopping again. Come straight back after you're done shopping for clothes and ingredients."

"Alright, I'll have to speed up too. There are a lot of vendors in this tower," Lilliath said and suddenly remembered something. As Lilliath spoke, she suddenly remembered something. "By the way, there's something I think you might want to know. I just bumped into Bart."

"Which Bart?" Gu Ding thought the name sounded familiar, but he was very sure that he did not know him.

"The newcomer with the highest bounty in Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation," Lilliath added.

"He's here too?" Gu Ding raised his eyebrows slightly.

"He told me that he's not the only one. Including you and me, six of the top ten newcomers have arrived on this planet, and more are coming. He also asked me to tell you about this. "

"Six people have arrived?" Gu Ding frowned slightly when he heard this. There was a vague sense of unease in his heart.

After hanging up the call with Lilliath, Gu Ding immediately said to Neptune, "Let's see if there's any recent news."

Neptune filtered the information and projected it. "The most relevant thing to you is that the video of your fight with Senior has been uploaded to Skynet. The people from the military had obviously seen this video as well. Very quickly, they doubled your bounty from 160 million Star Coins to 320 million Star Coins. Because of this increase, your ranking on the Newcomer Leaderboard has risen to second place. "

"Is there any other information?" Gu Ding did not care much about the news about himself.

"Senior, who was beaten up by you, has passed the critical stage and has been sent back to the Federal Government Headquarters for follow-up treatment."

"There's also Nick. After that guy was severely injured by you, he's been monitored day and night by the Federal Army to prevent him from escaping. Once he fully recovers, he'll immediately be arrested and sent to Federal Prison. "

"The guy named Bart that Lilliath just met has also recently had his bounty increased from 380 million to 450 million Star Credits due to his several clashes with the Army. Moreover, the new member he recruited used to be an independent Interstellar Pirate with a bounty of more than 800 million Star Credits. "

"Other than that, there are a lot of people coming for the auction. Six of the top ten people on the Newcomer Leaderboard have arrived on this planet. There are also quite a number of veteran Interstellar Pirates. There are so many Interstellar Pirates, but the Federal Government Army's reaction is a little strange. They've only sent a few peacekeepers. I don't understand what they're trying to do. "Gu Ding felt a little strange when he heard what Neptune said. This time, the Army's reaction did seem like they were doing nothing. This was not the style of the Federal Government Army at all.

"There's one more thing. There's an auction on Great Divinity every year, but this year's is the most publicized one in more than thirty years. Moreover, the official auction hasn't released any list of auction items yet. However, the list of auction items has been circulating on Skynet since a month and a half ago, and it's updated every few days. In the list that was just released today, the Witch Tribe staff that you've just submitted is included. The remark clearly states that it's a weapon used by a Witch Tribe deity. "

"It seems like someone is deliberately leaking information about the auction to attract people …"
