Chapter 102 - 102 Cerulean Planet Lord"s Banquet! Astonishing Auction Revenue!
102 Cerulean Planet Lord’s Banquet! Astonishing Auction Revenue!
“Already?”
“How’s the sale?”
Zhou Zhou was a little surprised and asked.
“We sold Kunt’s slave source route, his customer source, the slaves of the people of foreign races, and other permanent residences to other slave vendors.”
“In addition, there are some a.s.sets in Fish Spring Town and the wealth of the other bases.”
“After exchanging all of them for high-level Mist Cores, we obtained a total of 20 Yellow Gold-Tier Mist Cores.”
“Also, we did as you requested and removed all human slaves from slavery, the slave contracts in their bodies, and let them go.”
“However, there are still more than 2,000 slaves who are unwilling to leave. Or rather, they have no place to go.”
“We also followed your request and brought them back to Desolate City, making them Subjects of Desolate City. They are very well-behaved.”
Zhang Kaishan said respectfully.
Then, he solemnly took out a small cloth bag and placed it in front of Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou took it and opened it.
Inside were 20 Yellow Gold-Tier Mist Cores!
Zhou Zhou nodded slightly.
He had indeed instructed them this way before he left Desolate City.
It seemed that these two people were quite capable.
They were especially efficient!
It only took a day to sell Kunt’s organization. This was not something an ordinary person could do.
“Well done.”
“Are there any talents among these 2,000 people?”
Zhou Zhou asked.
“There are more than 50 Black Iron-Tier and Green Bronze-Tier Life Professionals.”
Zhang Kaishan said respectfully.
“They will stay in your Desolate City for the time being. Your Desolate City will be of great use soon.”
“Run the place well now.”
“In the future, there will be times where you can showcase your talents.” He said.
Zhang Kaishan and Zhang Dahu were a little excited.
Was he putting them in an important position?
“Yes, my Lord!”
The two of them said respectfully and led the way.
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
Then, he suddenly thought of a problem.
“Will tomorrow’s novice Lord test affect the subsidiary territory of Desolate City?”
He frowned as he thought.
At this moment, a line of golden words suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Novice Lord Special Notification: The novice Lord test is only targeted at the Lord’s initial territory.]
Zhou Zhou heaved a sigh of relief.
That’s good.
He would not be able to deploy soldiers if the novice Lord test targeted both territories at the same time.
Zhou Zhou did not have so many worries if it was only targeted at Blazing Sun City.
It was fine as long as he waited for the test in Blazing Sun City.
After that, Zhou Zhou chatted with the two of them about the future arrangements of Desolate City before letting them return.
As for the 1,000 soldiers in Desolate City, he had no intention of transferring them here.
He had already made sufficient preparations for the novice Lord test.
It would not be very useful even if these 1,000 soldiers were transferred back here.
They might as well stay in Desolate City and guard his subsidiary territory.
More than 15 minutes later.
Zhou Zhou opened the Marketplace and realized that the auction was about to officially begin in a minute.
More than a minute later.
The auction officially began!
At the same time…
A line of text appeared in front of all the Lords of Cerulean Planet who were paying attention to this auction.
[Do you wish to partic.i.p.ate in the Lord of The Blazing Sun’s auction?]
[Yes], [No]
Most of the Lords on Cerulean Planet chose ‘yes’.
Then, they entered a virtual auction room.
[In three minutes, the auction will officially begin. Please wait patiently…]
On the upper right corner of the auction room interface, there was also the number of people online at the same time.
At this time, the number of people online was rapidly increasing.
[Number of people online: 545,411,154!]
…
[Number of people online: 854,865,245!]
…
[Number of people online: 2,275,413,001!]
…
[Number of people online: 3,515,727,541!]
…
When the three-minute preparation time ended.
[Number of people online: 5,645,127,788!]
Everyone who saw this number was stunned.
[Our Cerulean Planet only has a total population of 10.2 billion, right? Excluding the infants and elderly, there are only more than eight billion Lords, right?]
[Oh my G.o.d! More than half of the Cerulean Planet Lords have come to partic.i.p.ate in the Lord of The Blazing Sun’s auction.]
[Big Boss Blazing Sun’s face is really big.]
[This should be the first big event for the human Lords of Cerulean Planet, right?]
[Witnessing history!]
[Witnessing history +1!]
…
[Witnessing history +10010!]
[Witnessing history +10086!]
…
Zhou Zhou also saw the number of Lords.
He clicked his tongue.
However, he did not feel nervous or guilty because of this.
At this stage, he felt that the things he took out were of good quality.
At the very least, he would not lose face in front of these 5.6 billion auctioneers.
It was just that the number of items was too little compared to the huge number of auctioneers.
However, Zhou Zhou knew that he had no choice.
How could a Lord like him satisfy the auction requirements of all the Lords of Cerulean Planet?
“This auction depends on who is faster and offers a higher price.”
He thought with emotion.
At the same time…
As the auction officially began.
The auction items set up by Zhou Zhou also appeared in front of all the Lords.
[So many skill books!]
[There are also Potion formulas!]
[Sword Shield Soldier Cla.s.s Change Certificates! Pudao Soldiers Cla.s.s Change Certificates! Poison Crossbow Soldier Cla.s.s Change Certificates! There’s such a thing as a Cla.s.s Change Certificate?]
[This is my first time hearing about the Cla.s.s Change Certificate.]
[Me too.]
[Has Big Boss Blazing Sun already made contact with some large faction? Otherwise, why would there be so many Cla.s.s Change Certificates?]
[Could it be the spoils of war of the fog monster? I heard that there are some special monsters that have a chance of dropping this Cla.s.s Change Certificate, but the probability is ridiculously low. I’ve only seen it two or three times in the Marketplace.]
[Forget it. The Mist Core would definitely drop one item at a time after defeating the fog monsters. It is nearly impossible for other items to drop. These Cla.s.s Change Certificates must have been obtained by the Lord of The Blazing Sun from a local faction.]
[Aren’t monsters only able to drop Mist Cores?]
[…]
[…]
[…]
[… Everyone, stay away from this unlucky guy!]
[Stop talking nonsense. The auction has begun!]
[I’m here for a lucky gift.]
…
Just as the Lords were discussing…
The first batch of items had also appeared.
Information on the items auctioned were as follows:
[Name: Sandification Skill Book (Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade) x10]
[Starting bid: 1,000 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores]
[Current Auction Price: None]
[Bidding Time: One minute]
[Current Status: Auction in progress]
The other nine groups also had the same 10 Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade skill books, Sandification.
The Lords immediately scrambled to bid when they saw the official auction begin.
A minute later.
The auction ended.
The condition of the items immediately changed.
[Name: Sandification Skill Book (Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade) x10]
[Starting bid: 1,000 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores]
[Current bidding price: 4,300 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores!]
[Bidding Time: One minute]
[Current Status: Auction over.]
The other nine Sandification Skills were also sold at a price.
Zhou Zhou did some calculations and could not help but click his tongue.
Just these 100 low-grade Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade skill books, Sandification, had brought him 42,000 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores!
It could be exchanged for 42 Yellow Gold-Tier Mist Cores!
This ordinary Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Sandification skill book had raised its value to a level that did not belong to it.
Should he just auction them every day in the future?
Zhou Zhou could not help but think.
However, he quickly dismissed this idea.
That which is rare is dear.
The reason why it could be sold for such a high price this time was mainly because this was the first auction. Moreover, tomorrow was the novice Lord test.
Under such circ.u.mstances, the Lords no longer cared about the price in order to increase their strength. That was why they were auctioned at such a high price.
It would be difficult to auction for such a price again when there was no such good opportunity in the future.
If he insisted on holding the auction, it would also give people the impression that he was insatiable.
The gains would not make up for the losses.
Zhou Zhou glanced at the auctioneer of the first set of goods.
He realized that there was a name called [Seven Leaf Clover Lord Alliance] written on the auctioneer column.
“So it was bought by the Lord Alliance.”
“No wonder they could offer so many Mist Cores.” Zhou Zhou came to a realization.
Then, he looked at the names of the other auctioneers.
They realized that the auctioneer’s names they used were the names of certain Alliances.
Zhou Zhou was deep in thought.
The establishment of the Lord Alliance indirectly increased the purchasing power of these Lords unexpectedly.
This was naturally a good thing for him.
After that, he continued to watch the auction.
An hour and a half later.
The auction officially ended!
All 7,020 items were sold out!
Zhou Zhou looked backstage and his eyes immediately widened.
[Wealth earned from the auction: 11,163,200 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores!]
“Oh my f*cking G.o.d…”
He was completely stunned.
