196: sea ​​turtle

Zhu Zhi heard no new bids from the room next door for a long time. He smiled and said to his younger brother, Zhu He, "No matter who is in the next room, in this Beishan City, our Zhu Family is still the most powerful!"

Zhu He gave a thumbs up and said, "Big brother is right!"

Just as Yu Shenghuo struck his auction hammer twice and was about to strike for the third time...

Sun Hao's voice came from Su Ze's room again: "Ninety million!"

Ninety million—this was sending back about half of the amount he had just earned from the previous auction.

But Su Ze knew it was worth it!

Because time was tight, Hanba had only said two sentences to Su Ze.

The first sentence was: "This isn't some monster beast crystal core."

The second sentence was: "But it's more precious than the crystal core of a space-type divine beast!"

Then there was no need to say more; no matter how high the price, Su Ze had to take it!

If he couldn't get it... he would have to disregard some laws at any cost.

Zhu Zhi was immediately slapped in the face after showing off. Feeling very embarrassed, he wanted to continue bidding, but was pulled back and advised by other members of the Zhu Family.

"Young master, stay calm. He raised the price to ninety million in one breath; he's clearly determined to get it."

"We have a more important mission this time. We can't spend all our money on a level seventy monster beast crystal core!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhi took two deep breaths and calmed down.

Although space-type crystal cores were precious, they couldn't be directly converted into combat power.

In the face of the upcoming disaster, it was better to improve one's own combat power as much as possible.

So he comforted himself with a show of generosity, "Forget it, I'll let him have it!"

After Su Ze's bid, Yu Shenghuo's countdown was significantly faster this time. He then decisively struck the auction hammer three times, selling the crystal core to Su Ze for ninety million.

Fortunately, Su Ze's final jump to ninety million showed his absolute determination, which caused the Zhu Family to stop bidding.

After the dust settled, Su Ze asked Hanba, "Sister Hanba, you just said this isn't a monster beast crystal core. Then what is it?"

Everyone else, including Feng Qingyi, who had been eating fruit, looked over.

It was already painful enough to buy a level seventy space-type crystal core at this price, and it turned out not even to be a crystal core?

Then they heard Hanba say, "I didn't expect to see one here either. That indeed isn't a monster beast crystal core, but a world seed—a World on a Tortoise Shell."

"A World on a Tortoise Shell?" everyone repeated in confusion.

Hanba explained, "I just spent a bit of time finding some information in my bloodline's inherited memories."

"Do you know of a divine beast called the Yuan?"

Su Ze asked in confusion, "Yuan? Isn't that just a softshell turtle?"

Hanba rolled her eyes at him and said, "The Yuan is the ancestor of all turtle-type demon beasts, a powerful Corona Level divine beast. Among divine beasts of the same rank, it is one of the best because it mastered one of the strongest attributes: space!"

"It's said that the Yuan carries a small world on its back, allowing it to mobilize the power of that entire world. It's incredibly powerful."

"But the Yuan fell many years ago, and its small world was lost. Since then, no space-type divine beast has ever been born among turtle-type demon beasts."

"I didn't expect that after the Yuan's death, its small world would turn into a world seed and fall into the hands of low-level turtle demon beasts, eventually being killed by humans and ending up here."

Hanba shook her head and said, "This is fate. It just so happens that your turtle also awakened the space attribute, master. Giving him this seed can turn him into a space-type divine beast. With further cultivation and bloodline improvement, perhaps a new Yuan can be born!"

Su Ze became excited upon hearing this.

The Void Spirit Turtle was his first beast. While Gold-rank demon beasts were still top-tier combat power for others his age, they had already fallen seriously behind in Su Ze's team.

But unexpectedly, it now had the chance to evolve into a space-type divine beast. This was truly a meteoric rise!

After this interlude, it was time for Su Ze's second pair of gold-rank monster beast eggs.

This time, those independent Beast Tamers didn't want to miss the opportunity again.

Their individual wealth couldn't compare to those family forces, but they could join forces!

After all, each person only needed one gold-rank monster beast egg.

Finally, after a fierce competition, a pair of independent Beast Tamers joined forces to win the auction at a price of ninety-three million.

This instantly made up for the money Su Ze had just spent in the auction.

Shortly after, when three demon beast eggs were wheeled out together...

Those independent Beast Tamers knew there wouldn't be another chance later, so they quickly followed suit, trying to collaborate as a trio to win the bid.

But the family forces finally exerted their strength. In the end, the three demon beast eggs with a starting price of ninety million were bought by a certain family for one hundred and thirty million.

Su Ze, upstairs, clicked his tongue, seemingly only now realizing he was a billionaire.

"The feeling of having money is really not bad."

After that came the auction of a level ninety monster beast crystal core.

Crystal cores of this level were very rare because demon beasts that possessed intelligence would often choose to destroy their own cores rather than let humans have them.

Because of this, Su Ze's ten gold-rank monster beast eggs couldn't secure the grand finale auction slots; he had to bring out platinum-level monster beast eggs.

And this crystal core was also an item Su Ze wanted from this auction.

It was a dark-attribute crystal core, which could be used in the Demon Beast Incubator.

With a level of ninety, hatching dozens of platinum eggs plus hundreds of gold eggs would be no problem at all.

"Level ninety dark-attribute monster beast crystal core, starting price... one hundred and twenty million!"

As soon as Yu Shenghuo finished speaking, someone in a second-floor VIP room raised the price by five million.

The Zhu Family followed closely, and Su Ze was not to be outdone.

No one else had a part in this bidding process; it was only the few in the second-floor VIP rooms bidding against each other.

Before long, Su Ze pushed the price to one hundred and sixty million.

The other rooms stopped bidding one after another, and it wasn't necessarily because they lacked the money.

Rather, they all knew that whichever family won this crystal core would basically have no hope for the subsequent grand finale items, which were the real priorities.

However, in the end, Zhu Zhi maliciously raised the price a couple of times, causing Su Ze to win the auction at one hundred and seventy-five million, while also making Su Ze remember this grudge.

"You little punk, raising my price, are you? Just you wait for the grand finale items!"
