341: wood spar

It was clear that Pan Di possessed the ability to charm Cosmic Beasts, much like Ouro.

Especially when facing such a realistic live broadcast, this ability to charm Cosmic Beasts was amplified to its limit.

With the aid of the Virtual World, every auction item seemed to gain the ability of an Avatar, presenting itself without reservation before every Cosmic Beast.

This allowed them to more intuitively perceive the quality of each auction item.

They could feel the precious light emanating from these auction items and the powerful energy contained within them.

This involuntarily sparked a 'buy, buy, buy' impulse within them.

Compared to these Cosmic Beasts, whose eyes were blinded by treasures, Lin Tianwei appeared much more rational.

No matter how Pan Di praised the items, not all of them could capture his attention.

Therefore, Lin Tianwei did not make many bids.

After a full half-day, Lin Tianwei had only bid three times, securing two satisfactory auction items.

Of course.

Unlike other Cosmic Beasts who haggled over prices, every bid Lin Tianwei made was decisive.

He could undoubtedly instantly defeat a host of bidders, making himself the ultimate winner.

As for those flashy but impractical auction items, Lin Tianwei completely ignored them.

Although he had plenty of origin energy, he wouldn't waste it or spend it recklessly.

After all, he could barely earn a nine-figure yuan crystal in a full day's work, which was not enough for him to squander wantonly.

As time passed, the auction gradually reached a fever pitch.

More and more Cosmic Beasts made bids, spending lavishly, just to acquire a desired item at this auction.

As these Cosmic Beasts continued to spend, the responsible beasts belonging to the Lotus Slave Market were overjoyed.

The more these Cosmic Beasts, who came to participate in the Lotus Auction, bought, the more excited they became.

Like a rising tide, their performance began to climb steadily.

Bit by bit, they were ascending to better positions.

Especially Filiche.

Desperate for performance, he even secretly instigated his customers.

Although this might lead to a backlash from customers, Filiche felt that as long as he could achieve first place and get a chance for promotion, everything would be worth it.

For this promotion opportunity, he had gone all in!

However, not all Cosmic Beasts saw their performance rise; Luo Ji's performance was clearly not among them.

After all, he had very few high-quality customers to begin with, and he lacked a clone Talent similar to Filiche's.

Not daring to neglect Lin Tianwei, he could only choose to go all in, abandoning other high-quality customers and placing all his bets on Lin Tianwei.

Although Lin Tianwei was extremely generous with his bids, he bid very rarely.

In this half-day, he only bid a total of three times.

This resulted in Luo Ji's performance remaining largely stagnant, instantly getting drowned out by the soaring performances of other Cosmic Beasts.

His ranking plummeted, continuously falling from first place, eventually dropping out of the top hundred.

Facing such a scene, Luo Ji remained completely unperturbed.

Before meeting Lin Tianwei, performance might have been something Luo Ji valued greatly.

But after interacting with Lin Tianwei, Luo Ji had long since cast aside such things as performance.

At this moment, Luo Ji had only one thought in his mind: to provide excellent service and ensure Lin Tianwei was satisfied.

His intuition told Luo Ji that this was absolutely more important than improving performance.

Luo Ji appeared to be simply standing idly behind Lin Tianwei, but in reality, he was busy.

He was busy arranging the purchase of ten Virtual Server for Lin Tianwei.

A moment later, a hint of excitement flashed in Luo Ji's eyes as he reported to Lin Tianwei:

“Esteemed Lord Zeta, the procurement of the Virtual Server has been completed.”

“At the latest, by tomorrow morning, ten Virtual Server will be delivered to our location.”

“At that time, Lord Zeta can first try out the Virtual Server to see if it meets your requirements.”

“For customers like Lord Zeta, we will offer a full refund service if you are not satisfied with the trial.”

Lin Tianwei cast an appreciative glance at Luo Ji, acknowledging Luo Ji's efforts, and said:

“Luo Ji, you are thoughtful.”

“There is no need for a trial; in my opinion, the Virtual World is already more than sufficient.”

“I trust you. Just check the quality of the servers and sign for them directly once they meet the standards.”

Even the worst Virtual Server was a black technology product worth thousands of units of origin energy per unit.

For Blue Star, it was absolutely a high-tech product that represented a generational leap.

In this situation, it was impossible for the Virtual World not to meet Lin Tianwei's needs, so he felt there was no need for him to personally inspect it.

However, he didn't realize that his actions were interpreted differently in Luo Ji's eyes.

It was trust, immense trust in him!

Luo Ji's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and a feeling of 'a scholar dies for his confidant' surged within him.

His resolve also became even stronger.

Following this Lord was definitely a more promising choice than becoming a responsible beast of the Extremely Cold Universe.

How could a superficial thing like performance be as important as serving the Lord?

Luo Ji had completely broken free from the shackles of performance, transcending himself and finding a new goal.

But other Cosmic Beasts were still trapped in the confines of performance, unable to extricate themselves.

Especially Filiche, who was currently staring intently at the performance leaderboard, afraid of missing any slight change.

It must be said that Filiche was indeed worthy of being the former number one in performance, possessing powerful hard strength.

Once he truly started to exert himself, in just a short hour, he easily surpassed Luo Ji's performance.

Although the quality of his customers was not as high as Lin Tianwei's, their sheer number was outstanding.

Coupled with Lin Tianwei's infrequent bids, it was quite reasonable for him to surpass Luo Ji in performance.

Looking at Luo Ji, who was now trampled underfoot and instantly became second in performance, Filiche felt utterly comfortable.

He thought to himself: 'If you're weak, practice more.'

This idiot Luo Ji, doesn't he know his own strength?

To actually try to shake his position as number one in performance was simply wishful thinking.

Now, with just a slight effort, he had already trampled Luo Ji underfoot, unable to move.

What did he have to fight him with? How could he fight him?

It was truly a case of 'when the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king.'

Such a clown actually had the honor of briefly being number one in performance.

As if to prove Filiche's thoughts, Luo Ji's performance never moved again after that.

Like a salted fish that had given up struggling, he had become fish on a chopping block.

His performance ranking slipped bit by bit, eventually falling out of contention and dropping into a corner that Filiche wouldn't even bother to pay attention to.

Filiche didn't even bother to pay attention to such an insignificant opponent.

Just then, the bidding for an item had ended, and Pan Di had begun to introduce auction item number 0057: mu crystal stone.

A pile of crystals shimmering with a faint green light.

With the aid of the virtual space, all Cosmic Beasts could feel the immense energy contained within them.

That was a large amount of life energy, brimming with vitality.

In an instant, the eyes of countless Cosmic Beasts turned crimson.

Although mu crystal stone looked simple, just a common type of crystal.

However, due to containing terrifying life energy, it possessed an extremely special effect: delaying physical aging and increasing the lifespan of Cosmic Beasts.

mu crystal stone, combined with origin energy, could extract a special liquid called Life Elixir.

As long as a Cosmic Beast was not at the end of its life, it could increase its lifespan by consuming Life Elixir.

Cosmic Beasts merely had long lifespans, but they were not completely immortal; they also had a time when their lifespan would end.

Treasures like mu crystal stone, which could extend life, were precisely the most favored items by those powerful beings whose lifespans were nearing their end.

The purer the mu crystal stone, the purer the Life Elixir that could be produced, and the better the effect after consumption, making it more favored by Cosmic Beasts.

Feeling the pure energy emanating from the mu crystal stone, those Cosmic Beasts whose lifespans were nearing their end held their breath.

The energy contained in these mu crystal stone was very pure, indicating that they were of the highest quality mu crystal stone, destined to be treasures that Cosmic Beasts would scramble for.

Looking at the mu crystal stone in front of him, Pan Di said with a smile: “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such pure mu crystal stone.”

“After professional testing, the purity of these mu crystal stone is actually as high as 99.95%, making them the best of the best. It’s extremely difficult to even see one normally.”

“I truly don’t know what kind of mighty power the owner of these mu crystal stone possesses to be able to obtain such pure mu crystal stone.”

“You must know that the conditions for the birth of mu crystal stone are extremely harsh, and they are also very easily contaminated.”

“Unless they are harvested at the time of their birth, it’s simply impossible to obtain such pure mu crystal stone.”

“But how easy is that?”

“Without sufficiently powerful strength, it’s impossible to compress life energy into mu crystal stone. Places where mu crystal stone can be born are forbidden zones in the eyes of Cosmic Beasts.”

“The most commendable thing is that such pure mu crystal stone appeared in a batch of over a hundred pieces.”

“Not only is the quality of each piece extremely high, but the weight is also substantial, at least one hundred Del.”

“I can’t even imagine how much lifespan I could extend for myself if I obtained so much mu crystal stone when my life was nearing its end.”

“Under certain special Talents, one could even live a second life through these mu crystal stone.”

“The starting price is one hundred million yuan crystal, and each bid increment must not be less than ten million yuan crystal.”

“I declare that the auction for item number 0057: mu crystal stone, officially begins.”

Del is the common unit of weight in the Extremely Cold Universe, with one Del being approximately equal to one ton.

This means that this seemingly inconspicuous pile of mu crystal stone actually weighed over a hundred tons.

In fact, mu crystal stone was not a rare treasure; it could even be said to be very common.

Any Cosmic Beast with a life-force-related Talent could create mu crystal stone using some special techniques.

However, most of the mu crystal stone created by Cosmic Beasts were crude and contained a large amount of impurities, with very low purity.

And the most important factor in measuring the price of mu crystal stone was its purity.

The purer the mu crystal stone, the higher its value.

Life Elixir made from these impure mu crystal stone was not only very troublesome to purify, but it was also very difficult to reduce the impurities to an acceptable ratio.

And absorbing these impure Life Elixir?

This was tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.

While increasing vitality, these impurities would also enter the body, becoming a burden on the body and being extremely difficult to remove.

The life-extending effect of Life Elixir with too many impurities was even less than the damage these impurities caused to the body.

Therefore, what was truly valuable was the kind of extremely pure mu crystal stone seen before them.

It could even, through some special methods, allow Cosmic Beasts with special Talents, or those whose strength had reached a certain realm, to live a second life.

In comparison, the other effect of mu crystal stone seemed insignificant, which was body Reinforcement.

In fact, treasures containing powerful energy, especially the gentle energy of life force, all had significant effects in body Reinforcement.

However, no one would be so extravagant as to use such a life-extending treasure for body Reinforcement; that would simply be a waste of heavenly resources.

And these mu crystal stone, with a purity of over 99.95%, were undoubtedly supreme treasures for extending life.

Coupled with Pan Di's continuously alluring voice, countless Cosmic Beasts, like beasts discovering prey, stared with crimson eyes at these mu crystal stone.

They wished they could break through the barrier between the virtual world and the real world and swallow these supreme treasures whole.

However, the exorbitant starting price of the mu crystal stone ultimately deterred 99.99% of the Cosmic Beasts.

No matter how much they desired mu crystal stone, without yuan crystal, they could only sigh at the sight of the stones.

They could only greedily absorb the life energy escaping from the virtual mu crystal stone, fantasizing that they had already obtained these mu crystal stone, their vitality greatly enhanced, and falling into an uncontrollable state of fantasy.

The moment the mu crystal stone appeared, Udo's attention was completely captivated.

Especially when Pan Di announced that the purity of these mu crystal stone was over 99.95%, Udo was ecstatic.

However, a moment later, Udo's face turned ashen. Licking his lips, Udo questioned Filiche beside him:

“Filiche, you must give me an explanation. Why didn’t you tell me in advance about the news that mu crystal stone would appear at this auction?”

“If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have prepared so little yuan crystal.”

“You really disappoint me.”

Faced with Udo's questioning, Filiche was also stunned.

He truly couldn't understand why such a supreme treasure as mu crystal stone had appeared at this auction, yet he hadn't received any news.

Could it be that he no longer had any say or resources in the Lotus Slave Market?

Otherwise, how could something like this happen without his knowledge?

No, that's impossible.

Filiche instantly rejected this idea.

He didn't believe that the resources he had painstakingly managed for years would be ruined in an instant.

If that were the case, there was only one possibility for the appearance of these mu crystal stone, the only possibility! (End of Chapter)
