131: Chapter 131 Elemental God Realm
After all, although the effects of the Healing Gel were miraculous, they were far inferior to the healing Spells of a Light-element Mage.
Only those whose teams lacked a Tier 3 Light-element Mage would scramble to bid.
The bidding continued until the end, with only Aunt Mi Xue and a few others remaining, and the price reached 700,000 yuan.
Lin Fan looked down and could see that Aunt Mi Xue really wanted this bottle of gel.
The opponent she was facing now belonged to a squad several times larger than the Wave Squad.
He decided to lend a hand.
"Three million yuan."
As his voice fell, the auction hall went dead silent once again, with everyone looking in his direction in unison.
Who on earth is this big shot?
Just because you're rich, you can bully people like this?!
The people in the hall felt extremely frustrated and could only give up helplessly.
It wasn't that they couldn't afford three million yuan.
But who knew how high this big shot would raise the price once he spoke up?
Lin Fan looked at their expressions and found it somewhat amusing, secretly curious about what Aunt Mi Xue's reaction would be when she got the gel later.
After the bidding for the Healing Gel ended, none of the subsequent auction items were able to pique Lin Fan's interest.
He continued to wait and see, wanting to see if there was anything suitable for his sister, Lin Duo.
As he watched, he gradually began to feel a bit bored, so he simply summoned the System to pass the time.
He opened his personal panel and looked at his remaining experience points.
Now that he had reached the Peak of the highest Mage Realm.
Could these experience points be used for creating Spells?
Lin Fan looked at his own Realm and then at his experience bar.
Based on the System's Rank, LV44 didn't look like the max level no matter how he viewed it.
What kind of System has a max Rank of only 44?
Could the System still continue to upgrade?
After reaching the Rank of Saint Mage, he hadn't given this matter much thought.
After all, if the System could still upgrade even after Saint Mage...
Wouldn't that mean Saint Mage wasn't the Peak?
At this thought, Lin Fan's interest was immediately piqued, and he decided to try upgrading.
The moment he issued the command.
A series of prompts immediately popped up, yet the experience points didn't decrease in the slightest.
[Ding! System upgrading, LV44→LV45... Failed!]
[Error! Error! Error! Upgrade failed, conditions not met!]
[Next Realm: Elemental Divine Realm, Phase One... Failed!]
[Ding! Detected that the host is unable to Breakthrough to the next Realm due to the System being incomplete / damaged!]
[Upgrade Condition: Retrieve the missing System components and repair the System!]
[Error! Error! Error! Error!]
Lin Fan: "..."
Looking at the screen full of error messages.
He was completely stunned.
What was going on?
There was actually a next Realm?
Elemental Divine Realm Phase One?
With such important information, why hadn't there been even a mention of it before?
And to Breakthrough, he had to repair the System?
Was this a joke? Once the System was repaired, wouldn't all the previous restrictions come back?
The stronger the Realm, the more experience is needed to upgrade, and the penalty mechanism would also restart; he would have to be crazy to repair it.
Even if he wanted to repair it, where were the System's missing parts?
What do they look like?
Where should he look for them?
Lin Fan grew more irritated the more he thought about it and directly closed the System panel.
Repair the System?
He certainly didn't want to!
As for the next Realm... he would worry about it later.
His attention returned to the auction hall.
Just then.
Another auction item was brought onto the stage; a dense, extreme elemental power filled the entire venue even before it was brought onto the stage.
It was the Water element!
"The next item is an Elemental Fruit!"
"As everyone can feel, this is an Elemental Fruit containing Water element affinity, which can greatly enhance the elemental power of a Water-element Mage, causing the power of Spells to skyrocket!"
Vice Minister Wei Rujun introduced loudly as the Elemental Fruit was carried onto the stage.
Everyone stared in shock at the small fruit on the silver tray...
The entire fruit emitted a brilliant blue light, and within the translucent flesh, it seemed as if blue liquid was slowly flowing.
Lin Fan was also taken aback.
He immediately activated the ability of the omniscient mask, and the information about the fruit immediately appeared before his eyes.
Water Elemental Fruit, a naturally-formed magic item; consuming it can permanently amplify the power of Water-element Spells.
So-called naturally-formed magic items were not man-made.
Instead, they were treasures naturally nurtured into existence through the accumulation of a single type of elemental energy in one place over many years.
Such a thing actually existed in this world?!
Lin Fan was shocked.
There was no need for further explanation from others.
Based solely on the information provided by the omniscient mask, he understood how terrifying the value of this fruit was.
The effect was almost equivalent to doubling the power.
If others' Spell power is one, yours is two; in a direct confrontation, the winner would be clear at a glance.
Although this Water Elemental Fruit was useless to him since he lacked a Water-element talent.
The appearance of this item made Lin Fan feel a sense of anticipation.
What if he could get a Lightning Elemental Fruit, or a Space Elemental Fruit?
On the stage, Vice Minister Wei Rujun announced the starting price:
Thirty million yuan, with each increment no less than one million.
Before the people in the hall had a chance to speak, a shout came from a VIP box.
"One hundred million yuan!"
Before the voice could fade, another followed immediately.
"Five hundred million yuan!"
The people in the hall swallowed hard and gave up completely, secretly cursing the people in the boxes for being filthy rich.
The one who bid 500 million for the second time was none other than the Fifth-Order Mage in the second top-tier VIP box!
A sharp light flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.
This person wanted the Elemental Fruit?
Perfect, it's time to teach him a lesson.
"Six hundred million yuan."
Lin Fan's voice shocked the entire venue once again.
Many people clutched their chests, their mental states on the verge of collapsing...
Their life savings were actually just someone else's bid for a single auction item; who could possibly withstand this!
Please, the starting price was only 30 million, how did it shot up to six hundred million in less than ten seconds?!
Vice Minister Wei Rujun looked toward Mr. Chen's box, thinking that Mr. Chen was exceptionally strange today.
Why did he specifically pick these things that were useless to him?
Could they really all be for gifts?
The Fifth-Order Mage shot a meaningful glance at Lin Fan's box.
He wasn't sure if the other party was retaliating for his deliberate price-raising earlier, or if he really wanted this Elemental Fruit.
He was more inclined toward the former.
But it didn't matter; he would never give up on this fruit.
Even he, a Fifth-Order Mage, hadn't expected such a treasure to appear in a place like Baiyun City.
"Seven hundred million yuan."
The Fifth-Order Mage's expression tightened as he bid in a low voice.
Inside the box, the corners of Lin Fan's mouth under the mask curled up slightly.
Did he want this fruit?
Of course not, it was completely useless to him.
He was doing this purely for revenge against the Fifth-Order Mage in the neighboring box.
"Eight hundred million!"
"Nine hundred million!"
"One billion!"
...
The entire venue was dead silent, so quiet that a falling needle could be heard, with only the voices of the two people frantically bidding remaining.
Every bid was enough to leave an ordinary person with their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.
At this moment, the price of the Elemental Fruit had already skyrocketed to 3 billion yuan!
The Fifth-Order Mage's determined-to-win madness was something even Lin Fan found a bit surprising.
