Regret youthful ignorance
Chapter 476 An Easy Victory
Ordinary Emperor-tier slaves could be bought for 10,000 amethyst coins.
An Emperor-tier being couldn't earn 300,000 amethyst coins in their entire life.
But as the host said, it depended on who was using it.
Wouldn't a God-tier be willing to use it for their loved ones?
For Chen Luo, he would be willing to spend not just 300,000, but 30 million for his loved ones.
"300,000."
"320,000."
"350,000."
Chen Luo narrowed his eyes. This Sublimation Grass would probably be auctioned for more than 500,000 in the end, which was a bit expensive.
Mili and Miling couldn't use it; they were already Emperor-tier, so what use would it be?
Fa Wang wouldn't need it either, but Fa Wang's wife could use it, and his future pup might also need it.
Chen Luo wanted to give this one to Ma Yu.
Ma Yu had stagnated at level eight, and Su Dazhu was secretly anxious. Chen Luo had noticed it too.
He was determined to get it, but Chen Luo was hesitating whether to use Void Walk to swipe it or buy it.
After a buyer successfully bid on an item, the auction house would deliver it directly to the buyer.
They wouldn't wait until the end of the auction to deliver everything at once.
If he stole the Sublimation Grass now, it would definitely stir up a hornet's nest. Chen Luo wasn't sure if the auction would be interrupted as a result.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Luo decided to buy it.
Chen Luo sighed. *Sigh,* this was really annoying.
"650,000."
Chen Luo finally bought the Emperor-tier Sublimation Grass for 650,000 amethyst coins.
Chen Luo thought to himself, *Bear with it. This money can't be wasted. Don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish. The good stuff is still to come.*
As for Fa Wang's wife, Chen Luo planned to find a few Royal-tier and King-tier ones to make do first.
After finding out about this kind of stuff, Chen Luo specifically inquired about it. The lower-level ones weren't worth much, but the higher the level, the more valuable they were.
It was said that there were even Demi-god level ones, but compared to the Emperor-tier, their value was hundreds of times greater.
That made sense. A Demi-god could at least beat a hundred Emperor-tier beings.
The Emperor-tier natural-type God-tiers could cultivate them, which was why they were so cheap. The Demi-god ones, on the other hand, couldn't be cultivated, so he heard.
Finally, it was time for the third-to-last item to be auctioned. Chen Luo's main target: a silver helmet.
The host said loudly, "This is a helmet crafted by Master Norton. It is specially designed to deal with mental-type attacks. It can absolutely guarantee immunity to Demi-god attacks and greatly reduce God-tier attacks. Its level has reached Level Three, and its remaining lifespan is 8,526 years."
"The starting price is eight million amethyst coins."
Armor wasn't permanent. Metal-types crafted equipment by using their abilities to alter the metal.
The less ability power spent, the shorter the duration. What Long Yu said about it being permanent was because he didn't know that it could actually only last for a few decades.
On Blue Star, a few decades could be considered permanent.
It wasn't permanent, yet it was still so valuable?
If others had it and you didn't, it would be a fatal gap. Even if it only lasted for a year, someone would offer a sky-high price when they needed it.
Chen Luo widened his eyes. Was the metal-type really this profitable?
Should he try to nurture Long Yu?
With Long Yu, didn't Chen Luo know that these metal-types were all doing business without any investment?
Chen Luo secretly decided that after robbing Shi Su, he would look for trouble with these metal masters.
"Ten million."
"Ten million and twenty thousand."
The price quickly reached eleven million.
The most ordinary full set of armor was only worth ten million, yet this single helmet sold for so much. This showed that it was much better than the one Chen Luo had obtained from Aubin.
Chen Luo didn't bid. *You can bid all you want; I'm just going to get it for free anyway.*
A helmet flashing with silver light was on a table in the center of the stage, covered by a crystal-like罩 (zhào - cover).
Besides the host, there was also a middle-aged man with a cold expression standing behind the table, protecting the helmet.
The previous low-level items didn't have this kind of protection.
This crystal could isolate mental-type probes and was immune to telekinesis.
There were few who could use Void Walk to begin with, and even fewer who could use Void Walk on other objects.
But that didn't mean the organizers wouldn't guard against it.
Mental-types could also achieve telekinesis, but the items would always be in everyone's sight.
Chen Luo smiled. *Me spending money to buy something is already giving you face. Now, it's your turn to give me face.*
To be on the safe side, Chen Luo used his ability, and the lights above the auction house went out one after another.
But the auction house's backup lights came on in an instant. The entire venue was only dark for a split second.
A burst of exclamations rang out.
The host looked at the lights above his head in confusion. Who was causing trouble?
Trying to pull a fast one? They were underestimating the organizers too much.
The host smiled calmly without changing his expression. "Twelve million once, is there a higher bid???"
At this moment, the host caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and the corner of his eye began to twitch uncontrollably.
Where was the helmet???
A guest shouted loudly, "Where's the helmet?"
Only then did the host confirm that he wasn't seeing things.
The helmet had disappeared in broad daylight!
The host had a ghostly expression and looked around.
The middle-aged man guarding the helmet's expression changed drastically, and he looked around with suspicion.
Chen Luo stood up and shouted loudly, "Where's the helmet? How did it disappear?"
Someone echoed, "Yeah, how did it disappear?"
Discussions arose everywhere, and some people were gloating.
Chen Luo laughed inwardly. *You think you can defend against me with a broken cover?*
*Isn't that looking down on people?*
A team of security guards wearing protective suits walked towards the stage with solemn expressions but found nothing.
At this time, the organizers were frantically retrieving the video footage.
An auctioned item had miraculously disappeared in broad daylight.
Not only was a valuable item lost, but it would also have a major impact on the auction house's reputation.
But they couldn't figure out how the helmet had disappeared for no reason.
Even items protected by the Luli Crystal cover could disappear?
The organizers had been hosting for so many years, and this was the first time they had seen this.
*That's because I wasn't here. If I had been here, you would have seen it long ago.*
The organizers were certain that the culprit must be in the auction house at this moment.
It was likely one of the guests and had a small probability of being one of the auction house staff.
But what could they do? Search everyone one by one?
*Are you kidding me? There are many big shots attending for the Ten Thousand Year Vermillion Fruit. Which big shot would tolerate being searched?*
*Who doesn't have secrets?*
More than ten minutes passed.
The participating guests were dissatisfied. "Is it still going to continue or not? I came here for the Vermillion Fruit."
"Hmph, hurry up and don't delay this old man's time."
"It's fine if you don't continue, but compensate me for my travel expenses."
Chen Luo perked up. There was even compensation?
*Forget it; I can't be too cheap. Be low-key, be low-key. Who cares about a few compensations?*
The host forced a smile. "Accident, accident, the auction will continue."
