Suk also overheard a lean, golden-haired ape wearing a headband and another tall, burly, black-horned minotaur world lord chatting nearby.
"Brother, you've attended auctions in An Yuzhou Kingdom. What are the differences between those auctions in our hometown, Liuyun Yuzhou Kingdom?"
The lean, golden-haired ape stroked the downy hair on his face. "There's not much difference. It's all held by the Virtual Universe Company every three years in various universe countries. It's also held in the floating city of each continent. Even the venue for the building auction is the same. Maybe some of the auction items and treasures might be different."
The black-horned minotaur sighed, "The only downside is the high cost of teleportation between continents. Otherwise, I'd like to take a look too. By the way..."
My dear brother, the loquat trees in your sister-in-law's hometown ripened again last year, and she made some fruit wine. She asked me to invite you over for a drink. Remember to come visit then, so I don't always get nagged and complained about by your sister-in-law.
The lean, golden-haired ape-man's eyes lit up immediately. "Sure, sure—"
Suk listened quietly to the various conversations around him, his gaze sweeping across the spacious auction hall. He pondered when he would reach the Realm Lord level and what strength he would possess then.
time flies.
"Everyone!"
A loud voice instantly rang out, echoing throughout the entire auction hall, which immediately fell silent.
Everyone consciously stopped talking.
A three-eyed man with colorful wings on his back and wearing a brightly colored suit stood in the center of the auction hall, while a nearly 1,000-meter-tall "three-dimensional phantom" of the man appeared in the sky above.
Suk immediately realized that the real show was about to begin.
Once the pre-auction warm-up session is over, the auction officially begins, and the first batch of auction items is revealed. Everyone's auction token will then display the 1000 items that will be auctioned.
Suk immediately began to carefully examine the auction tokens.
The auction was underway, with items being sold one after another like flowing water. The lowest winning bid was still in the tens of billions of cosmic coins, while the normal prices were in the thousands of cosmic coins.
"Not in the first batch," Suk said, slightly disappointed. But Eloi contacted him, "Suk, have you found anyone you like?"
"I haven't noticed yet, have you?" Suk asked in return.
Aside from Saki, who was just there for show, both of them had their own reasons for attending the auction.
"I want to buy the Lanco Fruit," Eloi said. "This Lanco Fruit has an excellent effect on cultivating plant life. I previously cultivated a plant called 'Ice Blood Sunflower,' which is now at the seventh level of the Constant Star stage. I want to help it quickly break through to the Universe level."
"Ice Blood Sunflower?" Suk knew about this plant life form. It was said that in addition to its incredibly hard ice armor, it could also release strange cold air to interfere with and freeze enemies, or form a hallucinatory field. In short, it had many special abilities and was a very popular plant life form.
Suk looked at the item information on the auction token and quickly discovered the Lanco Fruit.
"Lanko Fruit is the best item for cultivating spirit beasts and plant life. Even if one is seriously injured, consuming Lanko Fruit will have a healing effect. 100 Lanko Fruits make up one unit. There are 41 units of Lanko Fruit here. The minimum price for each unit is 1000 billion cosmic coins."
Suk sighed inwardly. The Lanco Fruit was a good thing, but unfortunately his Death Star Vine was too special, so the Lanco Fruit could hardly help him.
Eloi ultimately spent 1780 billion to buy one unit of Lanco Fruit.
Eloi happily told Suk, "The medicinal effects of this Lanco fruit are relatively mild. I take one every ten days. After three years of effort, once I have consumed 100 Lanco fruits, my Ice Blood Sunflower will reach the third or fourth level of the cosmic level."
"That's good." Suk was also happy for her. At the same time, he was impressed by the tenacity of these plant life forms. They could quickly evolve to the cosmic level by simply and roughly absorbing life energy. On the contrary, humans had to carefully absorb and evolve little by little, which took much longer.
Saki watched longingly from the side. He also had a *Moyun Vine* plant, since the seedling only needed 1000...
He has 100 million Jialan coins (3-fold universe coins), but the resources for cultivating them later are terrifying. His Moyun Vine is only at the fourth level of the Hengxing Star, and its growth is very slow. This is mainly because he doesn't have much money himself, and he is not willing to let his two friends keep bearing huge expenses for him.
The auction continued, and four batches of items, totaling 4000 pieces, were quickly sold out.
"Not yet?" Suk was getting a little impatient.
"This is the fifth batch of auction items. You can see the 1000 items that will be auctioned below on your auction tokens."
"If you see something you want to auction, please get ready." The three-eyed man in the sleek suit in the center of the stage said with a smile.
Suk looked at the token in his hand again. The screen of this auction token displayed a detailed list of 1000 items that were about to be auctioned.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Suk's eyes lit up. "I've got it, I've got the Heart of the Stars." He saw one of the items—the Heart of the Stars.
Ten Star Hearts make up one unit. There are a total of 25 units of Star Hearts here, with a minimum bid of 5 trillion Cosmic Coins per unit.
"5 trillion cosmic coins, which means it's equivalent to the lowest price set of 50000 Chaos Units?" A cold glint flashed in Suk's eyes.
After pondering for a moment, he realized that after buying the nutrient capsule and nutrient solution, he only had 9 Mixed Yuan Units left.
Buying one set is definitely enough, but buying two sets won't be enough.
"Suke, the Heart of the Stars has come out. Do you need my help?" Eloi asked. The two were now very close, and she knew that Suke wanted to buy the Heart of the Stars.
Suk knew that Aloy had previously helped him sell Zerg units and received 7.3 Mixed Units, and that he had just spent nearly 1800 billion Cosmic Coins to buy a set of Lanco Fruits, so he probably had about 7 Mixed Units left.
With the money he has and Elo's, he should be able to buy two sets of Star Hearts.
However, he was still reluctant to do it.
Seemingly guessing Suk's thoughts, Eloi said softly, "Suk, do we still need to distinguish between each other? Besides, this money was originally given to me by you." She then winked playfully, "Don't forget I still have the bank account left by my teacher. When I reach the cosmic level, I'll be able to access the account's deposits, and that money might be much more than it is now."
Eloi's bubbly-faced girl snorted, "Sure enough, daughters grow up and leave home. Oh well, I already expected this outcome. I'll just turn a blind eye."
I just hope that they will have a good outcome in the end.
Suk felt relieved. "I need to buy 2 units of Star Heart."
"I understand." Eloi smiled. "I'll transfer the money to you right away, and you can pay me back when you've finished your purchases and have any left over."
Then Suk received a virtual universe email, informing him that his account had gained an extra 70000 trillion universe coins, and he now had 16 mixed units.
Suk took a deep breath; Eloi must have given him almost all the money he had on him.
As time passed, one expensive and rare item after another was bid on in the vast auction hall, and quickly bought by powerful individuals from various star regions.
"The next item for auction is the Star Heart!" the announcer's voice boomed. "Bidding will now begin. Ten Star Hearts constitute one unit, and there are 25 units in total. The 25th bid will be the winning bid. The starting price is 5 trillion cosmic coins!"
Among the countless thrones in the vast hall, one was inconspicuous. Suk sat on it, his eyes fixed on the auction token, and entered his price for two units of Star Hearts: "60000 trillion Cosmic Coins".
He then nervously observed the prices of the two units, and only breathed a sigh of relief when there seemed to be no change. It seemed that he was lucky; among the millions of Realm Lords, he hadn't encountered many who particularly wanted the Star Heart.
The other Star Heart units are all between 5.8 trillion and 5.9 trillion Cosmic Coins, so his 6 trillion Cosmic Coins is considered high.
He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly. "Just as I expected, the price of a Star Heart is generally around 6000 billion cosmic coins."
After the final bidding ended, Suk successfully purchased 2 units, totaling 20 Star Hearts, for a total price of 12 Mixed Yuan Units.
