117: First Place Reward

“The auction house is opening?”

“And mysterious items are being added?”

“What could they be?”

Inside the Immortal Cave.

Mu Feng listened to the notifications ringing in his ears.

His face was filled with pleasant surprise.

He had been troubled by how to sell some of the good things he had on hand.

Without a doubt.

Going to the auction was a good way to maximize the value of his items.

This was much better than selling them himself on the Transaction Channel.

The only difficult part might be the handling fee for items sold at the auction house.

And it wasn't low.

A full tenth.

For Mu Feng, who was a miser, this was truly painful.

“Sigh, if there were no handling fees, it would be perfect.”

“Forget it, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.”

“Don’t be too greedy.”

Mu Feng shook his head.

He shook off his jumbled thoughts.

He had just returned from the Great Secret Realm.

He had a pile of things and matters waiting for him to deal with.

Where did he have time to sigh?

“Beep beep beep!”

Just as Mu Feng was about to organize the Materials on him, his friend's private message suddenly rang.

Mu Feng opened it to see.

It was from Li Chenxi.

Li Chenxi.186: “Big shot, what’s the reward for first place?”

“First place reward?”

“Oh, I almost forgot.”

He had been so busy thinking about how to maximize the value of his recent items at the auction that he had forgotten about the reward mentioned in the first announcement.

What a blunder.

But there was nothing he could do; he had too many good things on him.

For example, he was particularly eager to take out the spirit eye tree and examine it properly.

After that, he also needed to take out the spiritual plant seeds and saplings from his Storage Pouch to plant them.

The Immortal Cave also needed to be upgraded.

The Foundation Establishment Pill also needed to be refined; there were truly too many things to do.

Sigh, why do I have so many treasures on me?

Mu Feng had a Versailles-like expression.

Then, he quickly replied to her.

Mu Feng.186: “I haven’t checked yet. What’s your reward?”

He was quite curious about the rewards for others.

Li Chenxi was in second place.

Her reward was one tier lower than his.

Understanding it briefly would help him prepare himself mentally for his own reward.

Li Chenxi.186: “Mine’s pretty good! The reward box contains a High Grade offensive Magical Artifact!”

Li Chenxi was excited.

She was very satisfied with this reward.

With this High Grade offensive Magical Artifact.

Her future explorations in the Immortal Cave would be much safer.

She could even fight some strong Yao Beasts!

“High Grade Magical Artifact, seems a bit ordinary!”

Mu Feng stroked his chin.

He was slightly disdainful.

If the second place reward was a High Grade Magical Artifact.

Then his first place reward probably wouldn't be much better.

If his thoughts were known to others, they would surely drown him with their spit.

A High Grade Magical Artifact is still ordinary?!

Currently, among billions of players, fewer than ten million have Magical Artifacts.

Fewer than a million have Medium Grade Magical Artifacts or above.

Fewer than ten thousand might have High Grade Magical Artifacts or above.

And those who possess High Grade ones, probably no more than ten people.

This is even including the High Grade Magical Artifacts that were just opened.

Did he think everyone was like him, starting with two High Grade Magical Artifacts and even having a Magic Treasure on hand?

Truly, the well-fed don't know the hunger of the starving!

Li Chenxi.186: “Big shot, hurry up and take a look, let me feast my eyes!”

Seeing that Mu Feng hadn't replied.

Li Chenxi urged him.

Mu Feng.186: “Hehe, I’m going to look now!”

Mu Feng chuckled.

Then he opened his mailbox.

He quickly saw the first place gift box sent to him by the System.

【System Reminder: Luxurious Gift Box x1】

【Luxurious Gift Box: The 108th Nationwide Great Secret Realm first place reward box, containing various items.】

A red notification appeared before Mu Feng's eyes.

“The 108th Nationwide Great Secret Realm?”

“Could it be that this Great Secret Realm has been held 107 times before?”

Mu Feng was surprised.

He had thought that only they were participating in this Immortal Cave cultivation game.

But from the information on this gift box.

It seemed that this thing had been held for many sessions already.

If that were truly the case, this Cave World was much more vast and mysterious than he had imagined.

Forget it, who cares.

He shook his head.

Mu Feng stopped thinking about it.

He directly opened the gift box in his hand.

Soon.

An egg with mysterious patterns printed on it appeared before his eyes.

【System Reminder: Egg x1】

“An egg?”

“The first place reward was an egg?!”

Mu Feng was a bit confused.

He picked up the egg in his hand and examined it carefully.

This egg was quite large, about the size of a basketball.

Mu Feng needed both hands to hold it.

The egg was green, with patterns on it that he couldn't understand.

【Egg: An immature spiritual pet is sealed within. Dripping blood onto it will allow you to claim it as your own.】

【Hatching Method: Place it in a place with abundant Spiritual Qi. Once it absorbs enough spiritual power, it can hatch.】

The red notification did not say what kind of egg it was.

It only told Mu Feng the method for claiming ownership and the hatching method.

“Dripping blood to claim ownership?”

“That’s similar to Spiritual Insects.”

“The hatching method also seems similar…”

This egg was like the insect eggs he had seen before.

Both required dripping blood to claim ownership and absorbing spiritual power to hatch.

“Alright then…”

Mu Feng took out his Azure Dragon Flag and lightly cut his finger.

Then he dripped his essence blood onto the egg.

As soon as the essence blood dripped.

The green egg absorbed all of the blood.

Soon.

Mu Feng felt as if he had established some kind of connection with the creature inside the egg.

When he checked again with the System.

The egg's information had changed.

【Egg: Claiming ownership successful, currently hatching. Please place it in a place with abundant spiritual power.】

“Beep beep beep.”

Here.

Mu Feng had just finished claiming ownership of this egg.

His private message rang again.

Mu Feng didn't need to look.

He knew who sent it.

He opened it, and sure enough, it was from Li Chenxi.

Li Chenxi.186: “Big shot, what did you get?”

It was clear.

She was very curious about what Mu Feng had gotten.

Seeing her curiosity.

Mu Feng's mischievous side suddenly emerged.

Mu Feng.186: “Got an egg.”

Li Chenxi.186: “Huh?”

Li Chenxi.186: “If you don’t want to say, then don’t say, big shot, why are you cursing?!”

Mu Feng.186: “When did I curse?”

Li Chenxi.186: “You said ‘got an egg’… Wait, big shot, you didn’t actually get an egg, did you?!”

After a while.

Li Chenxi finally reacted.

She asked with a shocked expression.

Mu Feng.186: “Hehe, that’s right, the first place reward was an egg.”

The prank was successful.

Mu Feng was in a great mood.

Li Chenxi.186: “It really was an egg as a reward!”

Li Chenxi.186: “I really envy you, big shot. It seems no one else has a spiritual pet yet. This should be the first one.”

Having received Mu Feng's confirmation.

Li Chenxi looked envious.

Spiritual pets were a great help to combat power.

Moreover, they could also alleviate boredom.

Mu Feng.186: “I won’t talk anymore; I have a lot to do after just getting back. Let’s chat when I have time.”

Having finished showing off.

Mu Feng directly slipped away.

He had a lot of things to do right now.

It really wasn't the time for chatting.
