383: Chapter 387 City of Chaos

It seems...

No matter how powerful a lifeform's level becomes,

its fundamental nature never truly changes.

Lu Chen finished his meal unhurriedly.

Just as he was about to settle the bill,

the waiter took the check,

only to be suddenly blocked by a man.

It wasn't just one person.

It was a whole group.

They approached Lu Chen,

their expressions unfriendly as they demanded,

"Was it you who threw Feili out of the restaurant?"

Lu Chen stood up.

Without a word of courtesy, he backhanded the man before him, sending him flying.

He felt a wave of disgust.

These were all ninth-order lifeforms.

In any Universe,

they would be considered supreme Dominators.

But here,

they acted even more lowly and despicable than the lackeys of inferior worlds.

He then released a trace of his aura upon the others.

They immediately thudded to their knees.

Blood sprayed from their mouths.

Lu Chen asked the waiter for the total.

Paid the amount.

And left immediately.

He had no time for such childish games.

After leaving the restaurant,

he began heading towards the Chaos Bank.

The moment he appeared,

the manager immediately came out to greet him with polite deference.

"Sir, please follow me."

Lu Chen followed behind him.

Very soon,

they arrived before a massive structure.

This was an auction house under the Chaos Bank.

The steward led him to a VIP room.

Lu Chen asked Mekesh,

if there were any Materials for upgrading artificial intelligence at this auction.

Mekesh told him there was one.

And it could upgrade an artificial intelligence to the 45th generation.

But the price was extremely high.

Lu Chen wasn't afraid of the price.

He possessed a large number of Shadow Giant Beast corpses.

Even Mi's corpse.

Mi possessed the most supreme Bloodline in all of Chaos.

If its corpse were to appear,

it would likely cause an explosion throughout the entire Chaos.

Besides,

he knew every Secret Realm and treasure site within Chaos.

If he was short on money,

he could simply take a casual stroll to any of those Secret Realms.

And no one would ever know.

Therefore,

money was the least of his concerns.

Lu Chen's gaze idly swept over the guests entering the auction house.

Then his eyes settled on a certain corner.

A little girl was entering a VIP room.

Followed by a twelfth-order female bodyguard.

Lu Chen couldn't help but think,

"It seems she really comes from a major Family."

The auction began.

A white-haired man with four arms came out.

To serve as the host of the auction.

"Greetings everyone, I'm Jim. Thank you for attending today's auction."

"Without further ado, let's begin the auction."

Various items were auctioned off one by one.

But Lu Chen wasn't interested in any of them.

Soon,

the artificial intelligence Material appeared.

It was the core of a 47th-generation artificial intelligence.

More than sufficient for Bright No. 7 in its current state.

Jim announced,

"The starting bid for this item is 100,000 Chaos Coins. Minimum bid increment is 10,000 Chaos Coins."

"Let the bidding begin."

As soon as his words fell,

people began bidding eagerly.

"120,000..."

"130,000..."

"180,000..."

However,

then came...

"600,000..."

The little girl called out.

"Hello everyone, I am Talos Koloman. Please give me some Face. I want to buy this core for my little sprite."

People immediately stopped bidding.

Duke Koloman was a fourteenth-order existence.

Of course they would give her Face.

But just then...

"600,000..."

Lu Chen called out.

The moment Talos heard this voice,

she felt an overwhelming surge of anger.

But she didn't know why.

Perhaps it was because that man refused to give her Face.

The female bodyguard behind her immediately released her own aura.

The aura of a twelfth-order lifeform,

intending to intimidate Lu Chen.

Lu Chen snorted coldly.

Released his own aura.

And did so with heavy force.

That female bodyguard immediately crumpled to the floor with a thud.

Her internal organs were crushed.

But not enough to die from it.

This was merely a painful lesson he gave her.

Lu Chen said,

"I don't care about your background. If you have money, then compete fairly. Otherwise, shut up and don't act like a ruffian."

Lu Chen felt somewhat irritated.

This so-called Hunyuan City was simply an Advanced version of a Loose Cultivator city from the Cultivation World.

He would leave this place tomorrow.

The auction hall fell into a deathly silence.

Someone had just used their aura to crush Duke Koloman's female bodyguard.

And had insulted the Family's little princess.

Talos cried tears of rage again.

After obtaining what he wanted, Lu Chen immediately left the auction house.

He wanted to rest.

Before leaving,

he had Mekesh transfer the money into his account.

Lu Chen felt he might encounter some problems tomorrow.

But if he could leave without any hindrance,

that would be even better.

However, if he couldn't,

then he would give Hunyuan City a lesson it would never forget.

Then he had Bright No. 7 absorb the artificial intelligence core.

To evolve as quickly as possible.

And instructed it to consume the time within its Domain.

For this purpose,

Lu Chen specifically accelerated the time within the Spiritual Vein Space.

That world at the center of the black hole,

where time flowed ten times faster than the outside.

Bright No. 7 absorbed the core,

and immediately entered a dormant state.

Lu Chen also closed his eyes,

and slept soundly.
