Chapter 344

The Auer Auction finally opened as scheduled on the fourth day after the Auer ruins were closed.

The auction this time was unprecedentedly grand because the overall quality of the items being auctioned was higher than ever before.

Gu Ding's 5-star God Item armor went without saying. Another thing that caught people's attention was that there were as many as twelve 4-star God Items up for auction. This was something that had never happened before. In the past, the appearance of three 4-star God Items at once was already quite impressive. Apart from that, there were also a large number of other high-quality items up for auction.

This situation was naturally related to the Bug Tide in the Auer ruins. If not for the Bug Tide, almost everyone's merit points, including Gu Ding's crew, would have been greatly reduced.

Gu Ding and his crew arrived at the auction venue after breakfast. Everyone else had already entered the venue.

When they entered the venue, not many people noticed them at first. However, since the number on the electronic admission ticket that Lilo had given them was in the first row, they had to walk through the entire auction area. As soon as they moved, many people noticed them, and many people in the venue recognized them.

"Is that Gu Ding's crew? Didn't they already leave Giant Planet? "Someone in the venue could not help but ask. In fact, many people had the same question.

"Maybe they left at the last minute and rushed back to attend the auction," someone speculated.

Many people were surprised because no one knew Gu Ding's crew's whereabouts for the past few days. Now, they had suddenly appeared at the auction venue.

Gu Ding and his crew ignored the stares of the outsiders and sat in the front row of the auction area.

However, someone immediately raised a question.

"Didn't they say that Gu Ding was the one who sent the 5-star God Item? Why didn't they go to the VIP area? Could it be that he wasn't the one who sent the 5-star God Item? "

"I heard that a lot of big shots are attending this auction. I don't think Gu Ding will get his turn. Even if Gu Ding is the one who sent the item, he's just an Interstellar Pirate. This auction is organized by Faye Cosmic Nation, so the VIP area is probably reserved for people from the Federal Government Headquarters. " Someone explained. Although this explanation had nothing to do with the truth, it sounded reasonable.

After Gu Ding and his crew took their seats, about half an hour later, the auction finally began.

The auctioneer was a woman. She looked a little like Demetrius, but she seemed to be younger than Demetrius. Her expression was also different.

When Gu Ding first saw her, he thought that Midea had changed her makeup. However, after thinking about it, he realized that it was probably just her looks. This was because Demetrius should have entered the Cosmic Sea a long time ago. With her personality, it was unlikely that she would turn back.

"This girl is Carolyn, Medea's cousin. In the past, she had always been Medea's assistant. After Medea left, she took over most of Medea's work. The host of this auction was supposed to be Demetrius, "Neptune's voice rang in Gu Ding's ears. Gu Ding suddenly understood.

"Is Y'lisabet here too?" Gu Ding suddenly asked.

"Yes, because most of her work has been handed over, and she has nothing to do. Furthermore, due to the appearance of a Five Star Divine Item, this auction was unprecedentedly grand. There would be many experts participating. It's very necessary for the King and the higher-ups of the Congress to appear at this time to build a good relationship with those experts. "

In fact, not only did Neptune know that Y'lisabet was here, but he also knew that Y'lisabet was in the VIP room. His gaze fell on Gu Ding in the auction hall through the night crystal.

"He's here too." Y'lisabet was a little emotional. She was the one who told Gu Ding about the ruins and the auction in the Ouer Sector. She had thought that with Gu Ding's crew's strength, it would be good enough if they could get a few Two or Three Star Divine Items in the Ouer Ruins. This was because there were too many experts who had returned from the Great Realm River. She did not expect Gu Ding's crew to become the people of the moment in the ruins.

Y'lisabet had also heard about what happened to Gu Ding in the Ouer Ruins. Her information was not hearsay, but some accurate information obtained by her own informants. She knew that Gu Ding's crew occupied six of the top ten merit points in the ruins. Moreover, Gu Ding himself had accumulated nearly a hundred billion merit points. In addition to the others, the crew's total merit points were more than two hundred and seventy billion.

She also knew that although Gu Ding's crew was now famous, they were actually in great danger. This was because someone had deliberately leaked the final results of the Ouer Ruins and secretly added fuel to the fire by spreading the news that Gu Ding's crew had a large amount of wealth everywhere.

Although Gu Ding's crew had not yet entered the Great Realm River, Gu Ding's name had already spread throughout the Great Realm River. Gu Ding's crew had also become the target of many experts, and they had become their hunting targets.

Being famous was naturally a good thing, but if it was just an empty reputation, and they did not have enough strength, it was inevitable that they would be eliminated. This was because in the Interstellar Pirate trade, fame was rarer than bounties. A famous pirate crew would attract a large number of Interstellar Pirates to join them, and this led to the pirate crew becoming stronger and stronger. Being able to climb up by stepping on famous people was naturally good for one's reputation, so many people were happy to do such things.

Gu Ding knew about the leak of the Ouer Ruins ranking results. He knew very well that it was inevitable that such a thing would be leaked. After all, there were nearly nine thousand people who had survived the ruins to the end, and anyone could have done such a thing. He also knew what the consequences would be if so many people found out that his crew had a large amount of wealth. He was not afraid of the consequences, so he dared to show up at the auction with his crew.

In the other rooms in the same VIP area as Elizabeth, some people also noticed Gu Ding.

"I heard that the little kid named Gu Ding is the one who is auctioning off the five-star god item?" A hunchbacked old lady was sitting cross-legged on the sofa. She held a wooden crutch in her right hand, and she pointed the tip of the crutch at Gu Ding through the night crystal as she asked.

"That's what the rumors say, and I think the rumors are probably true." A young man stood next to the old lady. He looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, slightly older than Gu Ding.

"This little guy named Gu Ding isn't simple at all," the old lady commented after carefully looking at Gu Ding from afar.

"Teacher, why do you say that? I can only tell that the swordsman in their crew named Biggie is very strong. "The young man's eyes fell on Biggie.

"He's restrained his aura, so it's normal that you can't tell." The old lady nodded and smiled after listening. It was clear that most of her teeth had fallen out, and only a few were left. "He's only a Rank-13 Gene Body, but his physical strength is comparable to a one-star Lower Rank deity. Moreover, the amount of God Source in his body is no less than that of an average Middle Rank deity. "

The young man suddenly fell silent. When he was still a Rank-13 Gene Body, he was definitely not this strong.

"When today's auction is over, come with me to accept an apprentice," the old lady suddenly said.

"Teacher, you want to take in Gu Ding?" The young man asked in surprise.

"It's not Gu Ding, I can't teach Gu Ding." The old lady shook her head. "It's a little girl in the room next to us."

"The room next to us?" The young man probed with his Psyche to find out who the old lady was talking about, but he found that every room in the VIP area had a strong shielding prohibition set up, so he could not probe at all. He could only give up and withdraw his Psyche, but he knew that with the old lady's strength, the prohibition could not stop her.

In another VIP room, a middle-aged man frowned slightly. "I didn't expect that old witch to come as well. I'm afraid it's going to be a little difficult to bid for the Five-star God Armor. It's even more impossible to snatch it by force …"

Gu Ding, who was sitting in the front row of the auction area, had no idea how many powerhouses had come this time, but he did not care. His eyes fell on the auction stage with interest.

On the auction stage, the first collection was finally revealed.

"The first collection today is a bottle of elixir left behind by the Ancient Cultivation Civilization." In Carolyn's hand was a palm-sized blue bottle, which was also the elixir that Gu Ding had put up for auction.

"This elixir is called the Void Cleansing Pill, and it contains a lot of energy. It was taken by powerhouses in Ancient Cultivation Times when they were trying to break through the ranks. As for the effect of the elixir, we have conducted the corresponding tests, and it is enough to raise a Higher Deity by a small rank. Moreover, the energy contained in the elixir is extremely gentle, and it is completely compatible with God Source. It can be quickly digested and converted, and there are no side effects if taken in small amounts.

"There were originally twelve elixirs in this bottle, but we used up two of them during the tests, so there are only ten of them left. Therefore, we won't sell them in bottles, but we will auction them individually. After Master Lilo's appraisal, this elixir is a three-star God Item. The starting price of each elixir is eight hundred million Universe Crystals, and each increment must be no less than ten million Universe Crystals … "

Gu Ding was a little speechless as he listened to Carolyn's words on the stage. He thought to himself that the auction house really had its ways.

Gu Ding had exchanged a whole bottle of elixirs from the Orr ruins, and there were a total of twelve elixirs. He had only used the price of a three-star God Item, which was thirty million merit points, to be converted into three billion Universe Crystals. When converted into each elixir, one elixir was worth 250 million Universe Crystals. Now, the starting price was eight hundred million, which was more than three times the original price. After a round of bidding, the price would only go higher.

"Eight hundred and fifty million!" The first bid in the auction house was directly increased by fifty million, but the price was quickly suppressed.

"Eight hundred and eighty million!"

"Nine hundred million!" Soon, someone else made a bid.

…

The corners of Gu Ding's mouth curled up happily as he listened to the bidding.
