Chapter 128

The transaction backstage of the auction was very convenient. All one needed to do was scan their intelligent wristwatch to make a quick transfer. Once the transfer was successful, they could claim the item.

With the longsword in hand, Biggie could not wait to pull it out of its scabbard. The black longsword presented a strange sense of beauty. Biggie held the hilt with his right hand and caressed the blade with his left. The longsword made a soft sound as if it was responding to something.

Biggie closed his eyes slightly. The longsword gave him a strange feeling. It was as if the outside world no longer existed, and the only thing left in the world was himself and the sword.

Not long after, strange memories rushed into Biggie's mind. It was all of Dark's memories of its previous owners. These memories also contained a large number of moves and understanding of swordsmanship. Each of its owners was a Gene Body above Rank-12, and there were even a few demigod powerhouses.

These memories instantly raised Biggie's understanding of swordsmanship to another level.

Biggie even traced it back to its source and found the reason for the so-called curse on the sword. In fact, it was not a curse. It was a special ability that Dark was born with after it was forged — reincarnation.

Reincarnation was the devouring of life force and turning it into combat effectiveness. Dark was originally designed to devour the opponent's life force and increase its user's combat effectiveness. However, the users of Dark did not have a deep enough connection with the sword. They did not understand this ability and instead saw it as a curse. As a result, it had been absorbing life force indiscriminately and became an ominous sword.

Biggie put the sword back into its scabbard and opened his eyes. A strange color flashed in his eyes as he hung Dark on his waist. The 1.5-meter longsword did not look out of place with his huge body.

"Biggie, don't use this sword casually. Keep it in the Inventory." Lilliath was slightly uneasy.

"It's okay. Dark's ability is not a curse. It has always been misunderstood," Biggie explained. "I can control its ability. It won't affect me."

Lilliath still did not believe it. She wanted to dissuade him but saw Gu Ding shaking his head at her.

Gu Ding could clearly sense the change in Biggie. As a talented martial arts practitioner, he could sense that Biggie had obtained something from the sword. Therefore, he did not doubt Biggie's words.

On the contrary, Neptune was a little surprised. "Strange, the sword seems different. Biggie seems different too. Did he not lose his ability, the Heart of the Sword? If that's the case, everything makes sense. He can instantly understand everything about a sword and even inherit all the heritage of its previous owner … "

Neptune did not say this out loud. He only muttered to himself.

"If Biggie thinks there's no problem, then there should be no problem. He never lies." Gu Ding smiled at Lilliath.

Biggie nodded quickly. "It'll be fine. If there's really a problem, I'll put it back in the Inventory.

Only then did Lilliath feel relieved, but she still turned her face to the side and curled her lips. "Do whatever you want. I'm not the one whose life force is being devoured anyway."

Due to time constraints, I'm not the one whose life is being consumed. "At that moment, an attendant came over." Hello, Mr. Gu Ding. You have sixty-three consignment items that will be automatically auctioned tonight. These sixty-three items have been appraised to be worth less than a billion Star Credits. Due to time constraints, we can't put them up for auction. Please understand. The automatic auction will start in an hour. If you're interested, you can take a look around. The auction will be held on the first floor of the four towers. You can eat in the underground restaurant or go to the food street at the north entrance of the auction venue. "

"Thank you!" Gu Ding felt a little hungry when he heard about food. He turned to Biggie and Lilliath. "Let's go eat. Should we go to the food street or the underground restaurant?"

"Let's go to the food street!" Lilliath suggested.

Biggie just smiled and did not comment.

"Alright, let's go to the food street!" Gu Ding was not picky about food. To him, anywhere was the same.

The three of them went out of the north entrance. The food street was bustling with people and the sound of hawking could be heard.

Mayor Sector was rich in mineral veins. Therefore, some of the mineral powder that could be digested was added to the food as seasoning. The three of them were a little dazzled as they walked.

"Hey, what's that gold thing? It looks like a gold nugget. Can this be eaten? " Gu Ding scurried to a stall and saw pieces of something that looked like gold bars. He looked a little excited.

"This must be the first time you've come to our Mayor Sector. This gold-plated seasoning is a powder made from golden-scaled stones that are unique to Mayor Sector. It's sweet and refreshing, so it's often used to make desserts. "

"Give me three. Try it," Gu Ding said as he bought three servings and handed one each to Biggie and Lilliath.

Lilliath was full of praise the moment she took the first bite. "Give me three more servings. I don't think we need a proper meal today. These specialty snacks are enough."

"Agreed!" Gu Ding agreed.

Biggie, on the other hand, was more interested in the seasoning. He turned to look at the shop owner. "Boss, where can I buy this seasoning?"

"There's a big seasoning shop at the end of this street. If you're interested, you can go there and have a look. Basically, you can buy eighty percent of Mayor Sector's seasoning there. The shop's prices are more reasonable. Most of the seasonings in the snack bars on this street are bought there, "the shop owner explained enthusiastically.

The three of them continued to shop excitedly, eating as they walked.

Suddenly, Gu Ding heard someone call his name from behind.

"Gu Ding!" A young man who looked about Gu Ding's age appeared in a flash in front of Gu Ding. His hair was all white and he wore a black hat on his head. "It's really you!"

"You are …" Gu Ding had no impression of the person in front of him.

"My name is An Luo. Nice to meet you." The young man held out his hand with an easy-going smile.

"I'm Gu Ding." Gu Ding also held out his hand and the two shook hands. "Do you know me?"

"Of course I do. There's basically no Interstellar Pirate in Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation who doesn't know you." An Luo smiled and nodded. "I'm a powerhouse who's most likely to become this year's Newcomer King, and my crew members are all very powerful."

Gu Ding scratched his head in embarrassment.

"This An Luo is also a new pirate who suddenly appeared in recent months. His current bounty is 230 million and he's ranked third on the Newcomer Leaderboard. He usually looks lazy and has a gentle personality, but he's actually a professional killer. There are only two members in his crew at the moment, and one of them is called Mi Dong. He's also a professional killer, but he rarely takes action. His current bounty is only eighty million. "Neptune quickly found out about An Luo.

"An Luo, you're running around again. You're obviously directionally challenged. Aren't you afraid of getting lost?" A burly young man walked over and reprimanded An Luo. "If you run around again, I'll leave you here and fly the spaceship away."

"Mi Dong, look who I bumped into!" An Luo looked excited.

Only then did Mi Dong notice Gu Ding and the others. He immediately recognized them. "Gu Ding?"

He glanced at the calm Biggie and took a step forward, blocking half of An Luo's body behind him.

"Hello, you're Mi Dong, right?" Gu Ding had heard Neptune's introduction and could guess An Luo's identity.

"That's strange. Why does Gu Ding know you but not me? My bounty is obviously higher than yours!" An Luo muttered gloomily.

"That's because he looked into our information after he saw you." Mi Dong was expressionless, but he still looked at Gu Ding and the others warily.

"Hey, why are you standing in front of me? They're not enemies. "An Luo was speechless at Mi Dong's sensitive reaction.

"A naïve guy like you who has no vigilance at all will be killed sooner or later," Mi Dong reprimanded him.

"Please, Gu Ding's bounty is higher than mine. He has no motive to do anything to me. Besides, I was the one who greeted him. He didn't even know me before that, "An Luo retorted.

Mi Dong relaxed a little when he heard An Luo's words.

"There seems to be a lot of newcomers this time." Gu Ding changed the subject slightly.

"Yeah, I saw Bart at the auction. I also bumped into Mi En the Magician just now." An Luo nodded.

"Mi En is also a newcomer who rose to fame this year. His bounty is 160 million and he's currently ranked fourth on the Newcomer Leaderboard. He likes playing cards. His special abilities are visual deception and beginner divination, "Neptune explained.

"Mi En told me that he divined for himself before he came here. It was a bad omen, but there were no signs of death. That's why he chose to come here. He also said that there's going to be a drastic change on Great Divinity. The wisest choice is to leave as soon as possible. "An Luo relayed Mi En's words.

"This divination ability sounds interesting." Gu Ding's interest in Mi En was slightly piqued.

"Beginner divination can only predict good or bad luck and life or death. It can't see the details of the event and only knows the result," Neptune explained. "This ability usually only appears with a special physique. Among our ancestors, there were those who developed their divination ability to an extremely high level, or those who had hidden Holy Gospel Tribe or Witch Tribe genes in their bodies. Moreover, the evolution of this ability is much more difficult than other abilities.

"That guy has set up a stall not far ahead. He charges ten thousand Star Credits for one session to predict good or bad luck. However, there aren't many customers. You can go take a look if you're interested. "An Luo pointed in a direction.

"Alright, thanks. Let's go take a look!" Gu Ding nodded.

"Wait." Just as Gu Ding and the others were about to leave, An Luo called out to them. "That looks delicious in your hands. Where did you buy it?"

Gu Ding looked at the big skewer in his hand and pointed in a direction. "Go left. It's the third stall. I heard from the owner that this looks like Purple Demon Beetle thigh meat. It tastes pretty good."

"You glutton. You took so long to strike up a conversation with someone just for a skewer …" Gu Ding and the others finally understood why Mi En had approached them to strike up a conversation when they heard Mi Dong's voice reprimanding An Luo.

The three of them walked toward Mi En.
