258: Replica of Wan Gui, a strong monopoly of the auction
Chen Ming handed the Replica Ghost Mirror to Qin Hongyue, asking her to use spiritual energy to control it and go around illuminating every Ghost King, fierce ghost, and Ligui (fierce ghost) present.
He temporarily ignored Ghost Emperor Bai Mo; there would be plenty of opportunities later.
Chen Ming worried that if he used the Replica Ghost Mirror on him now, Bai Mo would directly snatch the Replica Ghost Mirror and flee the Huangquan Auction House at all costs after taking it.
Qin Hongyue took the Replica Ghost Mirror and did as Chen Ming instructed.
The entire process happened so quickly that the Ghost Kings, fierce ghosts, and Ligui (fierce ghost) didn't even have time to react before the Replica Ghost Mirror clearly recorded their appearance, body, and various attribute data.
"Master," Qin Hongyue respectfully presented the Replica Ghost Mirror with both hands, returning it to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming took the Replica Ghost Mirror without any hesitation and immediately tossed it to Yin Qianqian, who was sitting beside him.
"Master, this..." Yin Qianqian was caught off guard, fumbling to catch the Replica Ghost Mirror, her face filled with disbelief.
She never imagined that besides the Ghost Devouring Qiankun Gourd, her Master, Chen Ming, would now bestow upon her another top-grade spiritual artifact.
Most importantly, this was a top-grade spiritual artifact that even Bai Mo, the Ghost Emperor, couldn't lay his hands on!
"This thing isn't very useful to either me or Red Moon; it will be more useful if you keep it," Chen Ming said truthfully.
If he really needed something, he could just kill the target and extract them as an Undead.
There was no need to use this mirror and scheme to illuminate the target.
Crucially, even if he went through the trouble of illuminating them, he could only replicate half of their strength, which was far inferior to Undead Extraction.
Isn't it great to have 100% of their strength, all attributes, and retained skills?
With clear division of labor, Chen Ming extracts the Undead, while Yin Qianqian first refines the target into a yin pill using the Ghost Devouring Gourd, and then replicates them in the mirror.
For enemies, the utilization rate is 100%, with no waste at all.
"Since that's the case, Qianqian won't be overly polite with you, Master. Thank you, Master," Yin Qianqian smiled sweetly.
She picked up the Replica Ghost Mirror, carefully wiping it, treasuring it immensely.
Meanwhile, downstairs, in the audience area.
"That thing that just flew past us, it looked like a top-grade spiritual artifact?"
"Seems like it, but it doesn't matter. Let's go quickly; the time for you and me is over."
"You're right."
"Speaking of which, the lantern in Sky-Grade Box One is already out, so why is Sky-Grade Box Two still lit?"
"Could it be that that guy wants to keep hiding in the Huangquan Auction House to avoid retaliation from the Ghost Emperor?"
"Possibly! But the Huangquan Auction shouldn't allow such a thing to happen..."
Before the word 'shouldn't' was even fully uttered, upon reflection, it made sense that Chen Ming, as a distinguished guest who spent over a hundred billion huangquan coinss, might be granted a little special privilege.
If such a major customer were to be wiped out by the Ghost Emperor, who would they earn money from next time?
Even though they knew the other party could enjoy privileges they couldn't, all they could do was sigh, "It's good to be rich!"
Before long, all the ghosts and monsters left the Huangquan Auction House through the opened teleportation gates before them.
Only less than three thousand humans remained.
Compared to before, it instantly became much quieter, the entire space empty.
On the second, third, and fourth floors, not a single ghost or human could be seen; they were all gathered on the first floor at this moment.
Only Chen Ming still occupied the high floor alone.
"Alright, the second auction will now begin, with a total of one hundred opportunities. The highest bidder wins." With that, the Female Ghost in Qipao left.
An auction of this level didn't require her to personally host it.
A few ghost imps were left in charge.
"We can't let these Great Xia people take all the advantages. We need to unite."
"That's right. Although they are numerous, they might not have more money than us. If we cooperate, there's still a chance."
"Let us get the tickets to leave first, so we can find more people to rescue you."
"Why should we?"
"Because we are from the Eagle Faction, the strongest country in the world! Can you find a better option than this?"
"The strongest in the world? Perhaps before, but now, it's not so certain."
The matter of cooperation hadn't been settled yet, but the question of who should leave first immediately caused tension and a strong smell of gunpowder among everyone.
Suddenly, a dark shadow teleportation gate opened on the side of the Great Xia camp.
A familiar figure and face walked out from it.
The Great Xia professional Hunters bowed their heads, showing utmost respect, and shouted, "Greetings, Undead Monarch!"
Their voices were sonorous, uniform, and rumbled like thunder.
Chen Ming waved his hand, and in everyone's arms, a large stack of huangquan coinss appeared, each with a face value of ten thousand.
"One million huangquan coinss for each person, consider it start-up capital from me to help you make your way in this world." As fellow Great Xia people, Chen Ming felt he couldn't stand by and do nothing.
Most importantly, Chen Ming didn't want those heinous villains to actually get tickets to leave the Huangquan Ghost Realm through cooperation and opportunism.
"One, one million for each person! Who, who exactly is he, and where did he get so many huangquan coinss?"
"Undead Monarch? He, he is the guy on the fifth floor earlier who spent hundreds of billions!"
"He's a Great Xia person?!"
Seeing Chen Ming bestow one million huangquan coinss upon each person, the villains from other countries were incredibly envious.
Chen Ming thought about it carefully and felt that one million was still too little. Immediately, he transferred another one hundred million huangquan coinss to each person.
He instructed, "This one hundred million huangquan coinss is my sponsorship for the Star Alliance. You should try your best to bring back more spiritual artifacts for the Star Alliance, understood?"
Buzz buzz buzz!
"Yes!" Hearing their phones vibrate, everyone took out their phones, and upon seeing the message that one hundred million huangquan coinss had been credited, their hearts were filled with shock.
They became even more convinced that their previous idea about Chen Ming fishing up trillions of huangquan coinss was real and highly probable.
Otherwise, with over a thousand Great Xia people present, one hundred million each would still be over a hundred billion.
Besides possessing trillions of huangquan coinss, they really couldn't imagine what else could give Chen Ming such confidence.
"Lord Monarch, please rest assured, we will make good use of this hundred billion and do our utmost to help the Star Alliance grow!"
"That's right! The Star Alliance will definitely rise!"
"Thank you, Lord Monarch, for everything you have done for the Star Alliance. We are deeply grateful."
Most of these people were Special Ops Soldiers who transitioned into professional Hunters, and their obsession with a strong country was far greater than their personal interests.
Not to mention, Chen Ming had already given all of them one million huangquan coinss each for private use before the one hundred million.
There was absolutely no reason for them to put themselves at risk, offend Great Xia, and risk offending Chen Ming, the world's strongest combatant, by lining their own pockets.
"Wait a minute, did they just say over a hundred billion? Could it be that the Undead Monarch's so-called 'one hundred million' actually meant one hundred million per person?"
The foreign villains who realized this instantly couldn't sit still, their voices becoming noisy.
"One hundred million each? Heavens! This isn't fair! What are we supposed to compete with them with?"
"They can't possibly want me to stay in this ghost place forever, can they? No, I don't want to! I want to go back to Blue Star!"
Sounds of despair were endless.
Having worked all day and completed system tasks, they had only earned less than two hundred huangquan coinss in total. Facing Chen Ming's unfathomable wealth, they felt deeply powerless.
Suddenly, someone caught sight of a figure walking out and heading towards Chen Ming.
"That person, if I'm not mistaken, seems to be our Gentlemens Country's SS-level Hunter, Yug Van Dyke!"
