He was about to say something; Princess Shen Ling interrupted him with a bold statement, "I won't be surprised if it gets sold for even 500 million, Sister Yue. Hmm? Were you saying something?"

"Nothing..." Mark shook his head. He was about to say 300 million but since the princess stated a higher figure, Mark couldn't bring himself to tell the same thing. He said, "It is indeed worth such a figure but I'm just worried that people might not be able to take out such an amount."

"Well, that is also true," Shen Ling nodded in agreement.

"What if it sells at a lower amount than even 100 million? You know, those truly wealthy could collude to bring down the amount," Sylvandria pointed out the most obvious flaw here.

Mark let out a sigh in response, "Then, we will just have to let it be and make sure to not use this platform to sell my things ever again. We already made enough profits in the challenge round. So, it shouldn't be a big deal."

"I hope it doesn't come to that," commented Song Yue.

What they didn't know is that Mark now had a debt of 100 million gold coins with the system with 1% high interest (1 million gold coins) per week. Since he doesn't have such huge money in his account to unlock the Rank-8 Battle robot in the gallery, he has to accept the system's proposal.

As he wasn't selling the robot at the store, he had to create the robot and buy it for himself with 10 million gold coins before listing it at this auction.

Now, in his account, there were only a bit more than three hundred thousand credits and a little more than a million gold coins.

So, whatever he gets from this auction, he intends to take it and pay back the debt as quickly as possible. The remaining shall be compensated with the semi-divine weapons in his inventory.

While he is confident that the robot will be winning this round, he wants it to be a completely one-sided fight. The more this battle drags on, the more its price will reduce later on.

But, what if this battle ends up in the challenger's victory? Then, he will have to sell a lot of advanced weapons to compensate for the losses.

Of course, it is just a worst-case scenario. Mark wasn't interested in seeing it.

Hence, he opened the inventory and had his eyes fixated on the Flag of Huangdi.

He was in the dilemma of whether to use the Flag of Huangdi on the Robot or not. It was different with Eol as the latter was the challenger.

If he gets caught now, no one would dare attack him but his reputation will get hit. It is the last thing he wants.

"Should I do it? Or should I wait and see?" As he was thinking about whether he should do it or not, his eyes fell on the old man who took out his weapon. A sudden idea popped up in his head.

"System, activate remote control function. Equip R-77 with Ogre Emperor's Club."

A titanium club with Mythril spikes appeared in the hands of the robot, taking the spectators by surprise.
