Chapter 1021: 200 Million
Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: 200 Million
Even in the Dragon Horse Galaxy, Space Source Crystals remained an extremely valuable resource.
Once the Space Source Crystal was announced, the whole venue immediately erupted into commotion. The mighty financial power of the Sky Dragon Planet was indisputably showcased at this moment, as Lan Xuanyu saw no less than twenty people raising their paddles. Yi Cai’s rapid announcing of numbers sounded off like a machine gun.
“Two thousand one hundred, two thousand three hundred, two thousand six hundred, two thousand eight hundred…”
The price soared, and in just under a minute, it had jumped from the starting bid of twenty million Dragon Horse Coins to thirty-five million, nearly doubling.
“I want this, but isn’t it a bit too expensive?” Bai Xiuxiu turned to look at Huang Yuanlang, “But, it’s so beautiful!”
Huang Yuanlang’s brow furrowed slightly, “Getting it isn’t a problem, but, the price of Space Source Crystals is bound to be higher than usual today. It’s said that there’s been an incident on the Resource Planet where the Sky Domination Clan produces Space Source Crystals, hence the recent fluctuations in price. The auction today is also a trial to see just how much the price of Space Source Crystals can surge.”
“Oh. Then, I’ll just watch for a bit.” Bai Xiuxiu, of course, hoped to obtain these Space Source Crystals, but she was very clever and did not make her desire too obvious, choosing instead to watch the ongoing bidding.
Gradually, even Huang Yuanlang began to show some perturbation.
“Eighty-one million. The distinguished guest in booth number four has bid eighty-one million,” Yi Cai exclaimed.
From the starting bid of twenty million, the price had skyrocketed to eighty-one million, a figure that, even on Sky Dragon Planet, was truly astronomical and not easily proffered.
Huang Yuanlang’s brow furrowed tighter. He had a faint feeling that the problem with No. 76 Planet might be bigger than he had imagined. There must be some informed individuals causing the price of Space Source Crystals to soar this high.
“Someone,” Huang Yuanlang said indifferently.
Swiftly, an alien creature with a small frame and cat-like appearance, sporting six legs and moving with extreme speed, almost instantly appeared beside Huang Yuanlang, crouching at his feet.
“Check where the guests in booth number four come from,” Huang Yuanlang commanded calmly.
“Yes.” The low voice responded, and the cat-like creature turned to leave.
Huang Yuanlang turned to Bai Xiuxiu with a slight smile, “Beloved sister, don’t you want the Space Source Crystals? Pass me the bidding device.”
“Oh.” Bai Xiuxiu handed the bidding device to Huang Yuanlang.
Huang Yuanlang took the device and entered a string of numbers.
“Wow, one hundred million Dragon Horse Coins from booth number one.”
Indeed, Huang Yuanlang hadn’t bothered to keep track of the current auction price; he went straight in with a bid of one hundred million. One hundred million Dragon Horse Coins, an astronomical figure!
And after giving this price, Huang Yuanlang sat there, still as calm as ever. To him, it seemed as if this amount was nothing significant.
“One hundred million for the first time,” Yi Cai hastened the auction speed as soon as she saw Huang Yuanlang make his move.
“One hundred and one million Dragon Horse Coins. Booth number four,” Yi Cai announced the next bid in surprise. The guest in booth number four, knowing they might be up against someone from the Fenglong City lineage, still made their bid, demonstrating their resolute determination to secure the Space Source Crystals.
“One hundred and two million Dragon Horse Coins,” was Huang Yuanlang’s second bid.
But what shook Huang Yuanlang was that the other party followed suit, offering a bid of one hundred and two million one hundred thousand Dragon Horse Coins.
Just then, a knock on the door was heard.
“Come in,” Huang Yuanlang said indifferently.
The door opened, and the feline creature from before quickly scuttled in, hurrying to Huang Yuanlang’s side and murmured something in a low voice that Lan Xuanyu and the others couldn’t catch clearly.
After hearing the creature, Huang Yuanlang’s eyebrows rose slightly, and his eyes narrowed, “Well, this just got interesting.”
Then he typed a figure into the bidding device in his hand.
“Two hundred million. The esteemed guest in Room Number One bids two hundred million Dragon Horse Coins,” Yi Cai’s voice trembled a bit; she had never seen such a high bid at an auction she hosted before. What worried her even more was whether this way of bidding meant that the Young Master was angry?
Room Number Four fell into silence. The next moment, a knock on the door rang out again.
“Young City Lord, Cong Zhongyu of the Sky Domination Clan requests an audience.”
“Please come in,” Huang Yuanlang said indifferently.
The door opened and a member of the Sky Domination Clan walked in. The moment he entered, Lan Xuanyu and his companions cast their gazes towards him. They were the most anxious. The Sky Domination Clan—they were the occupants of Room Number Four.
In that instant, Lan Xuanyu figured out Huang Yuanlang’s behavior.
Huang Yuanlang decided to bid, partly to gain Bai Xiuxiu’s favor, but that was not his sole purpose. He wanted to gauge the bottom line for the Space Source Crystal through this auction. And the report from that feline creature must have informed him that the participant bidding in Room Number Four was indeed a member of the Sky Domination Clan.
The Sky Domination Clan’s desperation in bidding, seemingly indifferent to the cost or even their image, suggested their intense desire for the Space Source Crystal. This also meant that something serious must have occurred on the Sky Domination Clan’s side.
Therefore, Huang Yuanlang made another high bid, to force the Sky Domination Clan’s hand, and also to further see what their reaction would be under pressure.
What they did not expect was that a member of the Sky Domination Clan would actually show up.
For the Sky Domination Clan to attend the auction in person, and to bid such a high price, seemed very unwise to Lan Xuanyu. The only explanation was that the Space Source Crystal was vitally important to the Sky Domination Clan. So much so that they had completely lost their composure. The instructions from the Sky Domination Clan must have been to reclaim all Space Source Crystals on the market at any cost.
Huang Yuanlang was undoubtedly a clever dragon, looking to seize advantage from the situation.
Lan Xuanyu worried that the Sky Domination member who had arrived better not be a God level strong one, or if their Void Bugs were exposed, that would be real trouble.
Fortunately, as soon as this member of the Sky Domination Clan came in, Lan Xuanyu felt that this person was not at God Rank.
He was about 1.7 meters tall, roughly the same height as an average human. His appearance was still ugly, and although the energy fluctuations around him were not weak, there was a significant gap from the God Rank. After all, even in the Dragon Horse Star System, God level strong beings were not a common sight.
He quickly walked up to Huang Yuanlang, who didn’t even bother to rise, just looked at him with a calm gaze.
“What brings you to me? You just made me spend a lot more money,” Huang Yuanlang asked indifferently.
Meanwhile, Yi Cai was already calling the bid down below.
“Two hundred million for the first time, two hundred million for the second time, two hundred million for the third time, sold. These ten Space Source Crystals go to the distinguished guest in Room Number One.”
The final bid had ended. As the Sky Domination member listened to the closing words below, his skin involuntarily wrinkled up, looking even uglier.
“Young City Lord,” Cong Zhongyu respectfully saluted Huang Yuanlang, “We are willing to offer more than two hundred million to purchase these ten Space Source Crystals. We also seek the friendship of the Young City Lord.”
Huang Yuanlang responded casually, “No need, I’m not interested in your friendship. What, do you think this is your Mother Planet? This is Sky Dragon Planet. Even if the lofty ones from your clan came here, they wouldn’t dare to cause trouble in my Fenglong City.”
Cong Zhongyu paused, then said with a wry smile, “Young City Lord, that’s not the case. We certainly didn’t come here to cause trouble. But, as you know, the Space Source Crystals are extremely important to our clan. You must have heard the news that there has been an incident on No. 76 Planet. It won’t be able to produce Space Source Crystals for some time. And the crystals are very important to us. Therefore, the ruling powers have decreed we come to Sky Dragon Planet to repurchase some Space Source Crystals to address the urgency. If the Young City Lord is willing to lend a hand, our clan will surely reward you generously.”
Huang Yuanlang’s eyes narrowed slightly, “How many Space Source Crystals do you want?”
