194: The decision of the two races
Seeing that the bidding price, which had been static for thirty seconds, finally moved, Phoenix Flying Phoenix breathed a sigh of relief, her expression relaxing.
She wasn't actually trying to buy the dragon egg; Huang Chen had already given her 20. The little money she had left was meant to be the startup capital for building a city.
Raising the price was just to do Huang Chen a favor.
After Yan Shuo announced the bidding price, he stared intently at the room from which Phoenix Flying Phoenix's voice had come.
Although Zijin Auction House had stated in its advertisements that it would not disclose information about bidders, and that room numbers were randomly shuffled,
You couldn't possibly not hatch the dragon egg after buying it, right?
As long as you took it out on the street, others would recognize it at a glance.
However, for a full ten seconds, there was no sound from Phoenix Flying Phoenix's room.
With the first bidder, those who were keen to obtain the Burning dragon egg also began to bid, until the last few seconds, the lowest price for the ten dragon eggs had reached 13 million gold coins.
As the final second of the countdown ended, the ten prices on the giant screen suddenly jumped by one million each.
Huang Chen looked at the final price and almost jumped for joy, sighing inwardly,
An average of 14.5 million per dragon egg, this is much more profitable than selling white powder.
It seems I need to find an opportunity to get more eggs.
The last two auction items were three Epic Thunder Sub-Dragon eggs and one Epic Elite-grade Thunder Sub-Dragon egg.
Undoubtedly, these two items also excited everyone, making them roar with enthusiasm.
Even Phoenix Flying Phoenix bid for a common wyvern egg.
Finally, they were acquired by four high-martial clans for an average price of 50 million gold coins and 100 million gold coins, respectively.
At this point, the auction concluded perfectly.
He Qingwan also took advantage of the buzz to announce that branch auction houses would hold auctions every Sunday, while the main branch would hold one on the 1st of each month.
She also informed everyone that the auction house accepted entrusted auctions, with a commission fee of only 12%, collected directly from the consignor.
This was a full 3% lower than NPC auction houses, and after this auction, Zijin Auction House's reputation had been thoroughly established.
This will become the greatest potential profit source for Zijin Auction House in the future, even exceeding the nearly 300 million gold coins in auction revenue from this event.
The guests gradually dispersed. After Huang Chen and the others had all left, he slowly got up with Xie Chunyan and the other women and left the auction house.
Now that they weren't short on funds, they had to immediately find Fengling Plateau. The earlier they built the city, the greater the benefits would be.
Moreover, his clone could now travel anywhere, so the task of finding Fengling Plateau could be entirely delegated to his clone.
As for himself, he would, of course, continue to roam the little japanese's territory. Now that he was in their territory, with a little effort, other cities could easily be found.
In this life, his rise would begin by sacrificing the little japanese.
Just as he stepped out of the shop, he found Phoenix Flying Phoenix and Bernal, each with their granddaughters, standing outside, seemingly waiting for him.
Huang Chen walked towards them with a smile, forcing a slight grin, and said, "Two Clan Leaders, what are you doing here?"
Hearing Huang Chen's relatively polite greeting, both of them smiled and nodded in response, saying, "Chairman Huang, could we speak privately for a moment?"
Huang Chen nodded and led them to a mansion converted from a shop.
This was a residence Huang Chen had bought from Judy for 50,000 reputation points to serve as Zijin's station in Central City.
The entire mansion covered 100,000 square meters, complete with pavilions, terraces, and towers, and had just been renovated yesterday.
Once the three were seated, Huang Chen went straight to the point: "Two Clan Leaders, please speak directly."
Bernal looked at Phoenix Flying Phoenix upon hearing this; they had just had a brief exchange at the door.
Although both wished to become auxiliary clans to Huaxia, the Hobbit Clan's status was vastly inferior to that of the Vermilion Bird Clan.
Therefore, Bernal didn't have much say in front of Phoenix Flying Phoenix.
Phoenix Flying Phoenix didn't immediately respond to Huang Chen. She simply picked up her teacup, took a light sip, and then slowly said, "My two granddaughters have both committed themselves to you. As an elder, I'm not asking too much by requesting an auxiliary slot for my clan, am I?"
Huang Chen smiled knowingly after hearing Phoenix Flying Phoenix's words.
Even though he had been reborn, he believed that he could lead the Huaxia Clan to win the trial's top prize without the assistance of any other clan.
However, having the assistance of the top high-martial clan of this generation could indeed save a lot of trouble. Moreover, as one of the most powerful clans, the Vermilion Bird Clan must have many resources left by their ancestors. Cooperation between the two sides would definitely be a mutually beneficial endeavor.

Then he looked at Bernal, who immediately stood up, cupped his fists, and said, "Me too."
He dared not speak to Huang Chen with the tone of an elder like Phoenix Flying Phoenix. The opportunity that Consort Shu had desperately brought to their Hobbit Clan could not be ruined by minor details.
He paused, perhaps feeling that Consort Shu alone wasn't enough, and quickly added, "My clan also has beautiful maidens no less stunning than Consort Shu. If Chairman Huang likes them, I will send them to Chairman Huang once they reach level 50."
"Additionally, if our clan can obtain the True Dragon's Essence Blood, it is very likely that we can advance to the level of a primary high-martial or even intermediate high-martial clan. Moreover, at that time, we will only occupy one intermediate-martial auxiliary slot."
"Haha, Clan Leader Bernal, there's no need to be so formal."
Huang Chen raised his hand, gesturing for Bernal to sit down, and said, "Feng Wu and her sister, and Consort Shu, are all my women. Naturally, I will choose you based on our relationship."
"However..."
Huang Chen took a sip of tea before slowly saying, "I believe you also know that, apart from the relationship as women, from Huaxia's perspective, this is just a transaction. I hope this transaction is mutually beneficial."
"That is natural," Phoenix Flying Phoenix and Bernal nodded.
"Since that's the case..."
Seeing that the two had already expressed their stance, Huang Chen immediately said, "Currently, I have two more matters that require the assistance of both Clan Leaders."
"First, the bone structure of the Huaxia clansmen is currently at a relatively low level, making it quite difficult to level up by fighting monsters. Although our current members of Forbidden City have good equipment and high levels, our numbers are merely a drop in the ocean compared to Huaxia's population of one billion. I hope both Clan Leaders can arrange teams to help guide our Huaxia clansmen. Additionally, I am about to launch a full-scale offensive to occupy the cities of the Sakura Clan. Our military strength may not be sufficient, so I need each of your cities to help station 10,000 troops."
Helping the auxiliary clans improve is their inherent duty, and Huang Chen's request at this moment seemed reasonable to both of them.
However, when Huang Chen mentioned a full-scale occupation of Sakura Country, Phoenix Flying Phoenix and Bernal's hearts suddenly tightened.
It wasn't that this was bad; it was, in fact, too good.
The higher Huaxia's luck, the more they would gain in the future.
However, from Huang Chen's words, it was not difficult to guess that Huang Chen intended to exterminate the opposing clan directly, rather than enslave them.
To commit such a bloodthirsty act before even starting a national war would likely make them a target of public criticism in the future.
However, after exchanging glances, both still nodded firmly.
Throughout history, which clan that has claimed the top prize hasn't emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood?
Seeing their agreement, Huang Chen continued, "The second matter is that I recently want to build a city, and I learned from some ancient scrolls that there's a place called Fengling Plateau in Star Abyss. Do both Clan Leaders happen to know its exact location?"
"Fengling Plateau?"
Bernal murmured softly, falling into thought.
On the other side, when the words "Fengling Plateau" appeared, Phoenix Flying Phoenix's pupils suddenly constricted.
Although she quickly concealed it, Huang Chen still accurately caught it.
