World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 1542 - 381: The Auction Concludes
"Five hundred and sixty million Star Coins!"
The guest in Room 2 placed a bid.
This final item is basically not something ordinary mercenaries outside can afford anymore.
At this moment, all the bidders are people from the upper-level rooms.
"Five hundred and seventy million Star Coins!"
"Five hundred and seventy-five million Star Coins!"
"Six hundred million Star Coins!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"..."
The price soared, soon surpassing the six hundred million mark.
Zhang Xiaoman had not made a move yet. He knew this was just the beginning, and the price for this Perfect-level combat skill was sure to be much higher.
Perhaps impatient with the one million increments, the guest in Room 1 directly bid seven hundred million.
At once, the entire venue fell silent for a moment, and those in the VIP rooms also quieted down, no longer bidding.
"Seven hundred million!"
Zhang Xiaoman was secretly surprised; boosting the price by one hundred million at once was nearly everything he had.
Just as he couldn’t resist the urge to make a move, the people in Room 2 raised the bid again.
"Seven hundred and ten million!"
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman sat back on the sofa and began pondering his next strategy.
This combat skill is something he really wants.
However, he had just over seven hundred million in funds, which seemed insufficient to acquire this item.
"Looks like I have to use Star Dust as payment."
He checked the remaining amount of Star Dust in his storage ring, totaling 380 units, more than enough to purchase this combat skill.
However, if he wanted to gather 400 units of Star Dust to buy the World Tree Clone and return home, it would take more time.
"I’ve waited all these years, a dozen or twenty more days won’t make a difference."
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t hesitate long and quickly made a decision.
For him at this moment, personal strength is the most important.
Although returning home is important, it’s more of an emotional need.
In fact, after learning some Star Alliance details through the gang interface of the System, Zhang Xiaoman had already let go of concerns about the First Universe.
The Star Alliance is like a massive machine that runs smoothly; even without him as the Star Lord, it can still operate normally.
Moreover, with Su Changqing as the interim leader, Zhang Xiaoman felt reassured.
Now, the opportunity to purchase a Perfect-level combat skill is right in front of him, and he feels no reason to pass it up.
"Seven hundred and fifty million! Wa Li, my father’s birthday is in two days, and I plan to give this Perfect-level combat skill to him as a gift. I hope you don’t interfere!"
In Room 1, a man’s voice echoed, seemingly the wealthy guy who spent over five hundred million to buy Zhang Xiaoman’s 7 units of Star Dust.
"Boneo, we are in fair competition. If you have money, keep bidding; why waste so many words?"
The person in Room 2 gave no face, directly giving a new bid.
"Seven hundred and sixty million!"
"Alright! Wa Li! I hope you remember what you said today and don’t regret it later!"
The person spoke through gritted teeth, his words filled with threat.
"Heh, Boneo, what do you think you are, daring to act so arrogantly with me? Our Thorn Mercenary Team isn’t frightened easily. Don’t think you can rely on your father’s Controller strength to intimidate us. You should know you’re just a worthless nobody!"
The person in Room 2 completely dismissed the other’s threat, conversely, his words enraged the man named Boneo.
Boneo seemed aware that the other party wasn’t easy to provoke, and after issuing a threat, stopped arguing and continued bidding.
"Eight hundred million Star Coins!"
"Eight hundred and ten million Star Coins!"
"Eight hundred and fifty million Star Coins!"
"Eight hundred and sixty million Star Coins!"
"..."
Both sides continued to raise their bids, and at this point, no one else was bidding, leaving the battle to Room 1 and Room 2.
Boneo increased each bid by fifty million, seemingly intending to outpace Wa Li.
Meanwhile, the latter followed with increments of ten million, clearly refusing to be dissuaded.
"It’s already reached nine hundred million; it can’t go on like this..."
Zhang Xiaoman could see that both parties were caught in a dilemma, hesitating while bidding yet unwilling to back down due to pride.
"I can’t let them keep bidding like this; otherwise, I don’t know how high the final price will be. I must act quickly."
Zhang Xiaoman deliberated and then made up his mind, placing his bid.
"One billion! Room 23 bids one billion Star Coins!"
Auctioneer Lea was slightly stunned after seeing this new bid and quickly announced the latest development to everyone.
Meanwhile, the people in Rooms 1 and 2 hadn’t expected someone else to stand up and bid now, and both remained silent, unsure of what to do.
"One billion Star Coins, the Perfect-level combat skill, Starfall Ship-Slicing Saber, is bid at one billion by Room 23! Now, one billion for the first time!"
Lea, seeing Boneo and Wa Li not continuing to bid, proceeded with the final announcement.
"One billion Star Coins for the second time!"
"One billion Star Coins for the third time!"
"Sold!"
Very smoothly, Zhang Xiaoman secured the Perfect-level combat skill in one bid.
