BXBX NOVEL Chapter 271 - 169: Another Wealthy Player_2
[In their view, using more than 20 drops of Spirit-level monster blood essence to exchange for two divine abilities equivalent to a late-stage Spirit-level warrior’s strike was not worth it.]
[But you didn’t give up and also added five drops of blood essence, and the master of room 304. also increased the price again.]
[You keep raising the price, and one minute later, you raise the price to 50 drops of Spirit-level monster blood essence, at which point the other side finally does not increase the price.]
[Congratulations, you successfully win two Divine Skill Fragments.]
[A moment later, a maid brought two Divine Skill Fragments to your room. After handing over the blood essence, you finally got the two fragments.]
“So he gave up?”
“I thought it was some Xuan-level expert, but it turns out not to be so.” Su Nan sighed in relief.
50 drops of Spirit-level blood essence, equal to 50 Early-stage Spirit-level monsters. This price might be a huge amount for other Spirit-level warriors, but it’s not that much for Su Nan.
[The auction continues, and two minutes later, the old man hosting the auction takes out the fifteenth item, a one-foot-long short sword.]
[The short sword is ancient, covered in rust, and according to the old man hosting the auction, it also comes from ancient times, like the previous ancient blade. Its strength has long been lost, and only the material is still special.]
[The master of Room 304 quotes a price again, this time directly quoting a price of 20 drops of Spirit-level monster blood essence.]
[The onlookers are shocked by his extravagance, and no one is willing to raise the price. You don’t make a move either, and eventually, the master of Room 304 wins the bid with 20 drops of Spirit-level monster blood essence.]
[You notice that after winning the short sword, the master of Room 304 doesn’t seem to want to continue bidding on other items. After the maid brings the short sword to the room, he immediately gets up and leaves the room, walking towards the exit of the auction.]
[You see that he is a young man in his twenties with an ordinary appearance.]
[You didn’t realize that he, like you, is also an Outsider.]
“A player?”
“This guy is actually a player?” Su Nan was startled, his eyes full of surprise.
The young man had taken out more than 350 drops of Mortal-level blood essence and 20 drops of Spirit-level blood essence. If the other party was a native warrior of the Demon World, it would be nothing to take out so much blood essence.
But he’s a player, which makes it unusual.
“More than 300 drops of Mortal-level blood essence may not be much, but those 20 drops of Spirit-level blood essence are definitely not something ordinary players can offer.”
“It might be possible for players like Zhou Cheng and Li Ye, but others definitely can’t take out that much Spirit-level blood essence.”
In an instant, Su Nan realized there was a problem.
Looking at the information in the foreknowledge, he immediately thought of a possibility.
“The fact that this guy just walked away after winning the short sword suggests that the short sword was his real target.”
“It’s even possible that he was feigning extravagance before to give the impression that he had a lot of blood essence, so others wouldn’t dare raise their prices too easily.”
The more Su Nan thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
This could be seen from the young man’s direct quote of 20 drops of Spirit-level monster blood essence at the end.
There are typically only two kinds of people who would quote high prices all at once in an auction.
The first kind is those who really don’t care about the money, it doesn’t matter to them.
The second kind, on the other hand, is just the opposite – those who are almost out of money or unsure of themselves.
They want to take an all-in gamble.
If others don’t know their details, it’s easy to be deterred by them and not dare to continue raising the price.
“Interesting, does that short sword hide any secrets?”
Curiosity showed in Su Nan’s eyes.
Since the other party wanted to win the short sword, he naturally wouldn’t let them succeed easily. What if the short sword really had any big secrets? He would miss out.
Foreknowledge continues.
Unfortunately, the items he needed did not appear in the next predictions.
It’s only after predicting four more times, that the auction ends.
Taking his eyes off the Personal Information Panel, Su Nan looks down at the auction stage.
At this point, it has been auctioned off to the third item.
Knowing that the Divine Skill Fragments will eventually end up in his hand, Su Nan is in no hurry, waiting patiently.
Another sixteen or seventeen minutes pass, and the ancient blade from the foreknowledge appears.
With no change in expression, Su Nan continues to wait.
A minute later, the ancient blade was auctioned off by the owner of Room 503.
Then, the Divine Skill Fragments were up for sale.
“Next up for auction are two Divine Ability Seed fragments created by the refining of the spiritual mechanism of the great Dao from an ancient powerhouse.”
“Don’t underestimate these two fragments. Although divine powers cannot be used after ancient times, once the fragments of the divine powers are activated, they can still burst out with the full force of a late-stage Spirit-level warrior.”
As usual, the old man introduced the Divine Skill Fragments.
“Two Divine Skill Fragments, the auction starts now.”
As soon as the old man’s voice fell, as expected, the voice of the young man in Room 304 sounded: “10 drops of Spirit-level monster essence blood!”
“20 drops!” Su Nan did not hesitate, his voice closely following.
This was Su Nan’s first time ever quoting a price.
The reaction of the young man in Room 304 was quick, and he immediately increased the price by 5 drops of essence blood.
Su Nan’s expression remained unchanged, and he continued to raise the price.
Unbeknownst to him, at the same time he kept raising his prices, in Room 304, the young man was anxiously communicating with someone else through the personal chat channel.
“Boss, what should we do? Now the price of those two divine skill fragments has already reached 40 drops of essence blood.”
“That person in Room 309 hasn’t bid at all this whole time and now suddenly is bidding and seems determined to win. It’s clear he’s aiming for those two divine skill fragments.”
The young man retold the auction situation.
Receiving his message, the person on the other side replied.
“Divine skill fragments are rare in the hands of native warriors, but their value is not that great. Most people would definitely not spend this much money to buy them. Could he be a player?”
“Even ordinary players wouldn’t know the purpose of divine skill fragments. Those who might know about divine skills in Tianyun County are Zhou Cheng, Zhang Yang, and that newly-appeared Wang Nan.”
“If it’s Zhou Cheng, it wouldn’t be a big deal, since his essence blood is probably not much either. But if it’s Zhang Yang or Wang Nan, it would be dangerous.”
“Forget it, if we can’t buy it, then just let it go and focus on that sword.”
“Yes, boss.”
After receiving the reply, the young man sighed with relief and didn’t continue raising the price.
At this time, the total price on the two Divine Skill Fragments was 50 drops of Spirit-level monster essence blood, and nobody was raising the price further.
Eventually, Su Nan won the bid for the two Divine Skill Fragments.
Soon, a maid brought the two Divine Skill Fragments to Su Nan, who handed over the essence blood, and the complete task prompt instantly popped up.
[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task “Bid on any item from Tiangong Pavilion”, and 5 demon power points have been issued.]
[Usable Demon Power: 11 points.]
The task was completed, the goal was achieved, and everything was going smoothly.
Now checking the bonus from the two Divine Skill Fragments.
[Divine Skill Fragment: A fragment derived from the shattered Divine Ability Seed, containing a small amount of the spiritual mechanism of the great Dao, can be used to enhance divine abilities. Do you want to use it immediately?] “Use!” Su Nan didn’t even think about it and chose to use them right away.
As soon as he set his mind, the two shattered Divine Skill Fragments quickly melted and merged into his body.
[Congratulations, your divine ability Across the Heavens Shift has been enhanced to the second level, adding one more use per day and an extra 1,000 meters to the longest range.]
“An additional 1,000 meters! Not bad!”
Su Nan showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. Although the number of uses had only increased once, the distance had doubled.
Two thousand meters once, six thousand meters thrice!
With this ability, he could directly teleport out of Tianyun City from here, and now it would be difficult for the Demon King to catch him.
His life-saving ability was enhanced again.
[Do you want to expend 4 Divine Skill Fragments to upgrade Across the Heavens Shift to the third level?]
[Your Divine Skill Fragments are insufficient and temporarily unable to upgrade.]
“Four!”
“It’ll be more difficult to upgrade it next time.” Su Nan sighed, but he wasn’t surprised.
Looking back at the auction, the short sword was already taken out at this time..
