Chapter 126

After Gu Ding and the others spent two days wandering around, the auction was held as scheduled.

For the past two days, Robert had been in a shut-in state. No one knew what he was up to. Even Neptune didn't seem to care about him. After receiving the materials Gu Ding had purchased, he seemed to be extremely busy.

In these two short days, Neptune also noticed that spaceships docked at the port almost every hour. Most of them were Interstellar Pirates with high bounties.

Gu Ding entered the auction with the three tickets given to him by the little old man. Only then did he realize that the three of them were seated in the first row. Although it was not as good as a private room, it was second only to a private room. Moreover, Gu Ding was a person who liked crowds. He preferred the first row.

"The little old man's not bad. He actually gave us such a good seat." Gu Ding grinned.

Biggie, on the other hand, turned his head awkwardly to look behind him. If he sat on a chair, he would block the people behind him. He scratched his head sheepishly and chose to sit cross-legged on the ground.

"It seems that being tall isn't necessarily a good thing. We don't even have a chair to sit on." Lilliath covered her mouth and laughed.

"Fortunately, we're in the first row. If we were in any other seat, we wouldn't even have a seat on the ground." Gu Ding added. He was also thin and petite. Although his body had become stronger and he had grown slightly taller after cultivating Ultimate Arts, he was still average among his peers.

Biggie smiled innocently and did not say anything to refute.

The auctioneer soon appeared on the semi-circular auction stage. It was a woman in a professional suit. She was dressed very professionally, and her blonde hair was coiled up high. Her facial features were also very delicate. She had light makeup on her face, and even her lips were only smeared with a lighter shade of pink lipstick. A pair of rimless glasses added a touch of gentleness to her appearance. The only button on her white blouse that was unbuttoned was the one near her neck. Even so, her breasts could be vaguely seen.

The moment Lilliath saw the auctioneer, she muttered with some disdain, "Pfft, breasts can't be used as a pillow. Button them all up if you can."

The auctioneer seemed to have heard Lilliath's whisper. She looked down at her chest and then spoke with a slight smile on her face.

"Hello everyone, I'm the auctioneer who presides over this auction. In this auction, we received a total of more than three thousand qualified auction items. Due to the large number of collections, we have adopted an 18-hour auction system. "

"I will be the host for the eight hours of the day. Everyone will bid on the spot. The items that we have carefully selected during the day are all items worth more than one billion Astral Coins."

"As for the ten hours in the evening, we'll be auctioning in the form of booths. There's a price increasing device next to each booth. You just need to connect your intelligent wristwatch to it, and you'll be able to bid at will. The latest price will be displayed on the price increasing device. We will record the buyer's information in the background, but it will not be made public. After the auction ends, the highest bidder will get the item on the stall. "

"The items in the stalls are all sealed. Apart from our guild leader, no one can take them out. Therefore, the sellers don't have to worry about their items being stolen."

After the female auctioneer explained in a professional manner, she nodded at the staff below the stage. "Now, let's look at the first auction item."

The first item didn't look big. It was covered by a piece of red cloth and was brought up to the stage by the staff. A platform that was half the height of a person slowly rose from the ground, and the staff placed the item on it.

"This item is one of the oldest items in this auction. It was produced during the Middle Ages 14.6 billion years ago. It was made by the most powerful race at that time, the Witch Tribe." The female auctioneer paused and reached out to pull away the red cloth. A crystal ball with no flaws appeared in front of everyone. "Everyone knows that crystal balls are extremely fragile. Therefore, when I saw this crystal ball that was preserved so well, I was very surprised. After all, more than 14 billion years have passed, but time has not left any traces on this crystal ball. Although this item could only be used by members of the Witch Tribe and the Holy Gospel Tribe, it was definitely a high-end collector's item in terms of collection value. It hasn't changed in more than 14 billion years. I think this item is the best symbol of eternity. "

The female auctioneer's emotional speech moved many women in the auction. "So, who will get this eternal item in the end? The starting price is one billion Astral Coins. Each increment must be no less than ten million Astral Coins. Everyone, please start bidding. "

"This auctioneer has some skill." Lilliath had to admit that she was a little moved when she heard the auctioneer's introduction.

"There were two crystal balls among the things that Neptune stole. One is the one being auctioned now, which is the one in the high priest's hands. The other one was hidden in the treasure vault. It's twice the size of this one. I've kept it. If you want it, I'll give it to you when we get back to the spaceship. "

"Sure!" Lilliath nodded without hesitation when she heard that there was still one more.

"1.48 billion!"

"1.5 billion!"

In just a few words, the price of the crystal ball had skyrocketed by half. Most of the bidders were men with female companions.

The price of the item soared and soon reached 2.1 billion Astral Coins.

"2.1 billion Astral Coins. Is there a higher bidder?" The female auctioneer thought that the price was still within her expectations. As a professional habit, she liked to hear unexpected bids as it meant that she could get more commission.

After a moment of silence, a woman's voice came from a private room upstairs. "Five billion Astral Coins!"

"Five billion Astral Coins. A VIP upstairs has bid five billion Astral Coins. Is there a higher bid?" The price surprised the female auctioneer.

"Ten billion Astral Coins!" An old man's voice came from another private room. Gu Ding was a little surprised by the price.

The female auctioneer on the auction stage thought she had heard wrong. She was a little surprised. "Did I hear wrong? A VIP has bid ten billion Astral Coins! In that case, will there be a higher bid? "

The price had far exceeded her expectations.

In the VIP room that had bid five billion, a middle-aged man turned to look at the young woman next to him and reached out to hold her hand. "Keep bidding. This thing looks good."

"No need. It's just a trinket. It's not worth it. The people in the next room seem to be from the Holy Gospel Tribe. They'll probably bid high prices for all the Witch Tribe items this time. "The woman shook her head and chose to give up.

The crystal ball was successfully won by the person in the VIP room at a high price of ten billion Astral Coins. Gu Ding could not help but sigh. There were so many rich people.

The auction continued. The second and third items were displayed one after another. Gu Ding and the other two had not encountered anything that caught their eye.

"Many swordsmanship experts should be interested in the next item …" Biggie's eyes lit up when he saw the sheathed longsword that the two staff members had spent a lot of effort to carry up.
