BXBX NOVEL Chapter 144: Auction
Tyrion turned on his watch and opened the invitation notification, it was a virtual invitation to Tronic Mall\'s auction.
"Dear Sir Tyrion, Tronic Mall sincerely invites you to attend tonight\'s auction…"
Briston\'s 3-D figure appeared above the watch and bowed politely to Tyrion. In the invitation, the items for the auction were listed. Naturally, the enhanced Atomic serum was among the most important items. It might not have been the most expensive item, but it was the most meaningful and valuable item.
There was also a deliverance link in the invitation. Tyrion clicked on the link and the entire auction directly appeared around him as he entered into the virtual network.
The auction had not started yet, and Briston\'s expression was nervous as he paced about the room anxiously.
"Briston, invitations have already been sent to the top 500 different academies, cooperations and other organisation\'s, groups and companies. We even reached out to Death Gate Academy. Also, the most important item for this auction, the enhanced Atomic Serum, was highlighted," Levlyn stood at the side, adjusting her glasses as she reported meekly, "But, we\'re not sure if they…
"Not sure if they\'re going to come, right?" Briston smiled bitterly. "I\'d also like to know if they\'re going to be attending. Our hall isn\'t too influencial to catch the attention of Death Gate Academy\'s and other big organization. Their geniuses could easily reach the Super soldier stage, therefore it\'s basically useless to them."
The enhanced Atomic Serum was without a doubt a revolutionary product, its appearance would most likely influence the entirety of human evolution. 80 percent of the world\'s population are either normal humans or enhanced humans stuck at peak Genetic soldier continent with no hope of ever becoming a Super soldier stage.
But with this serum, becoming a Super soldier would only depend on how many bottles of Atomic serum has been consumed. It would be just like when the original Atomic Serums first appeared, allowing humans to train and improve by leaps and bounds!
But, the problem lay in how many people would believe that the enhanced Atomic Serums really existed! If the serums were to be produced by renowned groups, especially Galactical Pharmaceutical Group, the entire Blue Swirl Continent would not doubt their validity.
After all, Galactical Pharmaceutical Group was one of the biggest serum producers in all of Blue Swirl continent and are one of the Five Hegemonies.
But now, Tronic Group had been the one to come up with the enhanced Atomic Serum, so its validity had yet to be confirmed.
After all, compared to the Galactical Group, the Tronic Group was like a small shop, country business. In fact, it was just like a small country business that was producing milk, who then announced to the world that they\'d gotten ahold of the latest technology that could control the world.
And, at the same time, they\'d invited the top academies of the two alliances, righteous academy alliance and Demonic academy alliance along with other top organizations and temples, to witness it all!
Would the Instructors from the top academies and the important people in the military really make their ways to the countryside personally to prove its validity? Most of them would only see this as a joke!
Even if Briston were to invite all the huge businesses, the huge families, royals, nobles, hegemonies and leaders of other cities, he was uncertain if any of them would attend.
"As of now, how many people have arrived?" Briston asked anxiously.
...
Tronic Mall was indeed a large group in Death Gate City. However, it would only be considered a rural enterprise in the eyes of truely advanced Cities.
The Death Gate City alone had a population that was well into the hundreds of millions, while Death Gate Academy was home to just five million people.
In the face of Briston\'s inquiry, Levlyn said helplessly, "General Manager, so far none of the great nobles are here. Less than 10 people from the top academies are here, and these people are all regional representatives. Their headquarters did not even send a single person over. As for the big families and organizations, none of them came either.
Moreover, no one from the six major pharmaceutical groups came."
Hearing that piece of discouraging news, Briston sighed with dismay. The great nobles disdained small auctions, so their absences had been expected by Briston.
However, the absence of the five top families and the six major pharmaceutical groups made Briston somewhat nervous and uncomfortable.
After all, the six pharmaceutical groups controlled nearly half of the continent\'s serum production. They also had teams comprised of more than one master pharmacist, which were currently developing new serums.
Similarly, they were also grappling with how to improve the efficacy of the Atomic Serum. As such, many of them were disdainful about the enhanced Atomic Serum that had been launched by the Tronic Mall.
After all, they had spent huge sums of money to employ master pharmacists, who were still unable to improve the efficacy of their own product. Yet, all out of a sudden, a rural enterprise had announced that it had successfully done what they could not!
These big players knew everything about Tronic Mall. The mall did not even have an independent development team of pharmacists, and the serum that they needed daily was usually obtained via their cooperation with other pharmacists. Therefore, the six major pharmaceutical groups regarded the auction at Tronic Mall as mere hype, thus dismissing it entirely.
As for the presence of the top academies\' representatives, they were only here because this was Death Gate City , no matter how little the connection between Death Gate Academy and the city is, they still had connections, hence they must come and observe the situation.
However, with just a presence of a mere ten people, it was obvious that they did not really believe in the enhanced Atomic Serum that was being auctioned.
