Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Do We Have That Much Money?
According to the information Luo Hang received, there would be an energy pearl appearing in an auction tomorrow at noon, and it would be the finale item of the auction.
The next day, Su Chen brought Su Yi and Luo Hang to the auction.
The reason why he didn't bring Leng Yuwei and the others was mainly because he was worried about accidents, and Su Er was responsible for protecting them over there.
"Brother Chen, according to the information I've gathered, this auction house is quite high-end, and ordinary people seem to have a hard time getting in," Luo Hang whispered.
Su Chen remained calm: "Just follow me, don't worry about anything else."
Su Chen walked in front, Su Yi and Luo Hang were like bodyguards, following behind him. The three of them arrived at the entrance of the auction house and were stopped by a guard.
"Sir, please show your VIP card," the guard was very polite, as everyone who could come here had a special identity.
"I heard there are a lot of good things for sale here. Can't we get in without a VIP card?" Su Chen's expression was a bit arrogant, fully demonstrating the demeanor of a young master from a big family.
The guard was taken aback. He didn't know what the other party's identity was, but there were too many people he couldn't afford to offend here.
"Sir, this auction is different from the past, so we have received new orders from above. Only those with VIP cards can enter. I can't do anything about it," the guard said with a wry smile.
Just then, Luo Hang stepped forward and slapped the guard in the face. "How dare you! If even my young master can't enter, who else is qualified?"
The guard was stunned, and also frightened by Luo Hang's words. Could it be that this young master was from the Wang family? Only the Wang family dared to say such things, right?
Just as Luo Hang was about to strike again, Su Chen waved his hand to stop him. "Stop! It's just a VIP card. How hard can it be to get one?"
Seeing Su Chen's displeased look, the guard was worried that he would be targeted by this "young master of the Wang family" in the future. His life would definitely not be easy, so he thought of a solution.
"Sir, the private rooms are full, but I can arrange some seats for you in the regular section. It's just that a few of you will have to make do."
"How dare you..." Luo Hang was furious and was about to strike again.
But Su Yi stopped him, his expression cold. "Let the young master decide everything. Do you want to die?"
As he spoke, Su Yi exuded the aura of a fourth-order Transcendent, which intimidated the guard.
Now the guard was even more certain that Su Chen was the young master of the Wang family. Besides the young master of the Wang family, who else could have a fourth-order Transcendent as a bodyguard?
Seemingly frightened by Su Yi, Luo Hang obediently stepped back.
"Regular seats are fine. I just don't want to see the faces of some people. Go prepare for us," Su Chen said with a slightly disdainful expression.
The guard didn't think much of it and quickly prepared seats for them. As long as he could let them in, everything else was not a problem. The guard still had some power in this regard.
And this time, due to the higher level of the auction, many people without VIP cards couldn't enter, so there weren't many people in the regular section. The three of them found a inconspicuous place to sit down.
Although it was called a regular seat, everything was prepared according to high standards, and there was nothing ordinary about it.
The three of them waited for about ten minutes, and the auction began.
The lights around them dimmed, and spotlights illuminated the entire stage. A sexy woman appeared on the stage, holding a small wooden hammer in her hand, and a table was placed next to her with a red cloth covering a plate.
"Welcome, distinguished guests, to our Tianyu Auction House. This time, we have prepared dozens of auction items, and there will definitely be something you like. Let's start bidding for the first item..."
The woman didn't waste any words. She knew that these people came here for the auction items, not for her appearance.
As they watched the auction items appear one by one, Su Chen and Su Yi remained calm, while Luo Hang was excited. This was his first time attending such a high-level auction, and these things really opened his eyes.
Most of the items were various weapons. In this world, a powerful weapon was sometimes more useful than strong abilities.
For example, the ninth auction item was an ice and fire landmine. Once a living creature stepped on it, it would immediately explode with the power of ice and fire, causing the creature to die a cruel death in the ice and fire. This thing could kill a fourth-order Transcendent, and even a fifth-order Transcendent would be injured. Many people were bidding for it. If Luo Hang didn't know he had no chance, he would have wanted to grab it.
Su Chen didn't care about the previous items. He only cared about one thing, the finale item, the energy pearl.
"The finale of this auction is something that I believe all esteemed guests have been eagerly anticipating. Yes, it is the energy pearl, and this time, it's not just one, but two!"
The entire audience was in an uproar. No one expected that there would be two energy pearls. If a sixth-order Transcendent were to use them, there might be a chance for them to break through and become a seventh-order Transcendent!
Once someone becomes a seventh-order Transcendent, not only does their strength undergo a tremendous change, but their status is also completely different.
Even if they cannot become the controller of a Base City, the title of deputy controller is definitely not something to be underestimated.
This situation usually only occurs in first and second-order Base Cities. Third-order Base Cities have never had a deputy controller.
Unfortunately, the birth of a seventh-order Transcendent is extremely difficult. Every time a seventh-order Transcendent appears, it is a celebration for humanity.
One energy pearl might not be guaranteed, but two are different.
Now, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat tense. Everyone wanted to bid on these two energy pearls, hoping to become a family with a seventh-order Transcendent.
Su Chen ignored the atmosphere around him and stared fixedly at the two energy pearls on the stage.
"System, are those two the cores?" he asked.
"Yes," the System replied.
With the System's confirmation, Su Chen finally relaxed. At this point, the bidding began.
"10 million Hope Coins!" the first person shouted.
"You want to get two energy pearls for 10 million Hope Coins? I'll bid 30 million!"
"50 million!"
"One billion!"
The last voice was from Su Chen. This sentence scared Luo Hang, who nervously asked, "Brother Chen, do we have that much money?"
This was one billion Hope Coins, not just one Hope Coin.
Even though Su Chen had given them so many energy crystals before, they did not add up to one billion.
