Chapter 1978: The Routine Is Deep! Still Need My Nan Shen
As soon as the Zeus Star Shield appeared, waves of discussion rang out in the venue!
Unexpectedly, the first Black Mark was a forbidden weapon, and many people's eyes were red!
This Black Mark Assembly really has some impressive goods!
Among the Starry Sky Races, except for a few behemoths, there is a rigid demand for this forbidden weapon!
This thing is not only extremely useful for the humans of Lan Xing!
For the Starry Sky Races, it is also an absolute sharp weapon; after all, who doesn't want to properly protect their home planet?
In the starry sky, Star Devourers are already the pinnacle of existence!
This Zeus Star Shield, except for being ineffective against Star Devourers, can almost withstand all attacks; whether natural disasters or man-made calamities, it can be properly defended against!
Who wouldn't want it?
Jiangnan immediately called out a bid:
(︶.̮︶◕)
"Cheap cheap! If you sell me, you could buy five or six of these things!"
"I'll take it! 20 billion!"
Forbidden weapons like this can already be considered bulk commodities, and it is rare for an individual to be able to secure them by personal ability alone!
However, most of those bidding for this thing are doing so for their race, backed by the massive funds of their own race!
They can still come up with tens of billions!
Moreover, this Zeus Star Shield is worth the price!
The price of 20 billion couldn't be suppressed at all, whether in the boxes or in the audience seats below!
People kept bidding, and the price quickly soared to 30 billion, and was still rising!
Jiangnan did not give way at all, frantically shouting bids; whenever someone raised the price, he immediately added 500 million to top it!
Ye Yuan's mouth twitched:
(yiyiyi٥)
"You don't have a single cent in your pocket, but you sure dare to shout!"
He knew clearly that almost all the Star Source Points in Jiangnan's source core had been exchanged for energy blocks for cultivation!
Jiangnan shrugged: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭
"What's there to fear? It's not like I'm paying anyway? Did I bring my wallet for nothing?"
At this moment, everyone's gaze involuntarily focused on Wen Ge!
Wen Ge was seen lying on the crystal screen wall, his eyes red, looking as if he was about to cry!
(ง´థkouథ)ง
"My ancestor! You can't add price like this, adding 500 million in one go? That's all money!"
"Can't you add in tens of millions?"
Jiangnan doesn't feel pain when shouting bids, but I feel pain, damn it!
In the blink of an eye, the Zeus Star Shield had skyrocketed to over 37 billion!
Jiangnan glared: "Looks like I can't get it without some heavy stuff?"
So he immediately roared:
❂٩(▼kou▼◕)و
"I offer one Incense Bead!"
Wen Ge: !!!
(இyiஇꐦ)
"Shut up! Quickly shut up, you!"
Wasn't it agreed that I pay the bill and you cover the cost, and you give me the Incense Bead?
Why change your mind?
[Resentment value from Wen Ge +1008!]
[From...]
With Jiangnan's roar, the momentum of bidding in the venue suddenly stopped!
Everyone's eyes narrowed!
Incense Bead? Jiangnan actually had such a thing as an Incense Bead?
Huan Lou sneered: (￢৺￢) "You're talking crap? You? How could you have something like an Incense Bead? Casually bidding at this Black Mark Assembly? Be careful you don't lose your life!"
Jiangnan gave Huan Lou a disdainful look:
(◕꒪ั～꒪ั) "Heh~ Without that diamond, I wouldn't take on that porcelain job!"
"How do you know I don't have it?"
As he spoke, Jiangnan immediately pulled out an Incense Bead from his pocket!
In an instant, an incomparable fragrance filled the entire venue, and even the boxes couldn't block it!
Countless people were enraptured by this scent!
All opened their mouths wide, breathing in crazily!
For a moment, they even sucked the entire huge Tianyu Auction Hall into a vacuum!
Everyone was stunned!
Jiangnan actually really had an Incense Bead?
Fa Ma squinted: (˶‾᷄～‾᷅) "One Incense Bead? Doesn't seem like enough? When the market is good, the highest price for an Incense Bead is only 30 billion!"
"The bid price for this Zeus Star Shield has already risen to 37 billion!"
Jiangnan pouted: "Then I'll add one more..."
Before he finished speaking, Wen Ge let out a furious roar:
(งཀyiཀ)ง "Shut up! Don't say another word! I'll do it! I bid 40 billion!"
The wild roar even shattered the crystal screen wall of the box, showing how anxious Wen Ge was!
At this moment, everyone's gaze focused on Wen Ge!
They immediately understood what was going on!
The news that Man Ti, the Female Venerable of the Apocalypse Race, was nearing her end was known to everyone!
Wen Ge obviously wanted to help Jiangnan win the auction and then get the Incense Bead from him to extend Man Ti's life, right?
Just then, Ling Yin looked surprised! Then said:
(⌒_⌒♬) "Sorry, Lord Wen Ge, the consignor has decided to sell the Zeus Star Shield to Lord Jiangnan!"
"He personally is more interested in the Incense Bead!"
Wen Ge was furious: (▼min▼ꐦ) "On what grounds? An Incense Bead is only worth 30 billion! I offered 40 billion and he still won't sell to me? Isn't it the highest bidder wins?"
"400 is not enough? Then 450!"
Ling Yin looked apologetic:
(･ˇㅂˇ･٥) "I'm sorry, this is the Black Mark Assembly, it's not the highest bidder wins. Everyone proposes a bid, and the consignor can decide who the winning bidder is, as long as they are satisfied!"
Wen Ge glared: (ꐦ͡⚆yi͡⚆) "Who? Who the hell consigned the item? Are you deliberately going against money or something?"
Jiangnan laughed inwardly; it's not that they're against money, it's that they're against you, Wen Ge, and your Apocalypse Race, isn't it?
Ling Yin smiled bitterly: "The transaction has been completed and cannot be changed!"
Saying that, her gaze turned to Jiangnan, who smiled and placed the Incense Bead on the particle transporter.
The next second, the Incense Bead disappeared, and the Zeus Star Shield was transmitted over, and Jiangnan shoved it into his Alternate Dimension.
Seeing this, Wen Ge's eyes turned red, and he ground his teeth until sparks flew.
Damn it, Jiangnan didn't keep his word!
[Resentment value from Wen Ge +1008!]
But Jiangnan was very satisfied with this result; after all, according to the bidding trend just now, the Zeus Star Shield couldn't be won for less than 40-plus billion.
He got it with one Incense Bead worth 30 billion!
He saved a lot of money!
Ling Yin, without stopping, directly brought out the second Black Mark.
This time, there was no physical item on the particle transporter; instead, a holographic projection was directly displayed on the Starlight Stage!
It was a planet!
The planet was about ten times the size of Lan Xing, with oceans and atmosphere, and the land was all pink!
Jiangnan was directly stunned; what does this mean?
Ling Yin directly introduced:
(♬ᵒ̶̶̷̀ヮ˂̶́) "As you can all see, this is the second Black Mark of this assembly, a life-bearing planet!"
"This planet is named Taoyuan Planet, discovered and named by the Star Source Bank Development Department!"
"On Taoyuan Planet, there are large forests of peach trees; the Fairy Peaches they bear have effects such as beautifying the skin and enhancing physique!"
"Moreover, the planet is extremely rich in mineral resources, with 237 types already discovered. There are no higher intelligent life forms on the planet; it is a completely undeveloped primitive planet."
"Suitable for carbon-based life and material-type life to settle. Starting bid price: 30 billion Star Source Points."
At this moment, Jiangnan completely lost his composure!
Damn, they actually auction planets? Is it a set with the Zeus Star Shield?
Sister Ningning didn't lie; one Incense Bead really can exchange for a planet! And it's an extremely rare life-bearing planet?
Ling Yin: "Oh right! Once you win the bid, you only need to sign a Spirit Contract document to become the owner of Taoyuan Planet!"
"It can be claimed at any time. Star Source Bank handles the planet delivery service, delivering the planet to the designated star domain and setting its orbit!"
Jiangnan's eyes immediately became fixed!
(◕͡°yi͡°) "35 billion! I want it!"
It wasn't just Jiangnan who wanted it; other races also wanted it!
Whether the Hidden Spirit Clan, Metal Clan, or Crystal Clan, this Taoyuan Planet is an excellent planet!
Even the Insect Race would find it very cost-effective to use as a nest!
The price quickly soared to 50 billion!
With the price of a single Incense Bead, it was barely enough to get it!
But if it were an ordinary mining planet, it could still be taken, but it was clearly not enough to win a high-quality life-bearing planet!
Jiangnan glared: "Me! I offer one and a half Incense Beads!"
When this was said, everyone's eyes bulged wide!
"You still have more Incense Beads?!"
"What's going on? This Jiangnan is also a rich dude?"
Meanwhile, Wen Ge in the next box had completely gone mad!
˚‧º·(˚˃̣̣̥᷄yi˂̣̣̥᷅)‧º·˚ "You again? Shut up! Shut up, you! Give me one and a half Incense Beads! I'll bid 60 billion to help you win this Taoyuan Planet!"
"Give them to me! Give me the Incense Beads!"
But Ling Yin again apologized: "Sorry! Star Source Bank has decided to accept the bid and sell Taoyuan Planet to Jiangnan!"
Jiangnan cackled with joy, immediately handed over one and a half Incense Beads, signed a Spirit Contract, and officially became the owner of Taoyuan Planet!
[Resentment value from Wen Ge +1009!]
At this moment, Wen Ge looked completely frantic:
(ꐦథyiథ)σ "Jiangnan! You wait! Don't let me catch you when I get out of here!"
"I'll risk being poisoned to death by you, but I'll take you down!"
Jiangnan just rolled his eyes at Wen Ge, looking completely indifferent.
Ye Yuan's mouth twitched:
(￢﹏￢٥) "Kid... you're not using Wen Ge to lower the price, are you?"
The Taoyuan Star, which would originally have cost five or six hundred billion to get, Jiangnan got it for one and a half Incense Beads, which is 45 billion.
Jiangnan spread his hands: ╮(•́◡•̀)╭ "A wallet! Its function isn't necessarily just to pay; it can also be used to lower the price!"
"I'm helping Little Ge Ge save money, you know? Don't you appreciate me?"
Obviously, Jiangnan was using Wen Ge to lower the price.
The matter of Man Ti, the Female Venerable of the Apocalypse Race, was known to all. No race or faction wanted Wen Ge to get the Incense Beads.
And at this moment, Jiangnan brought out the Incense Beads.
Due to the hostility of the ten thousand races toward the Apocalypse Race, even if it meant giving up tens of billions in profit, they wanted to exchange for the Incense Beads and prevent Wen Ge from getting them.
Thus, the price would be pushed down very low, and Jiangnan would frequently win the bids because of this.
Want to mess up the Apocalypse Race's affairs? Fine! Then you'll have to swallow my Incense Beads, give up some profits, and sell the Black Marks to me at a low price!
Jiangnan was only using the hostility of the myriad races toward the Apocalypse Race to maximize the value of the Incense Beads.
Some might say, why not let Wen Ge help him win the Black Marks and then give Wen Ge the Incense Beads? Isn't that the same?
After all, it's not his own money spent!
In fact, doing so is possible, but it would surely lead to malicious price inflation. Not only would Wen Ge end up spending much more money, but it's uncertain whether he would even win the bid.
His own situation would become awkward. If these people knew he helped the Apocalypse Race, whether he could even survive until the end of the Black Mark Assembly would be questionable.
After all, Jiangnan is still alive largely thanks to the protection of Black Street.
Moreover, Jiangnan didn't think Wen Ge could safely send the Incense Beads back after obtaining a large quantity.
Besides, Little Ge Ge was quite helpful when the angels attacked him, so he could save him a bit.
It's a pity this guy hasn't figured it out yet and is already furious.
But Jiangnan wanted exactly this kind of exasperated reaction from him.
Olivia was stunned: (*ﾟﾛﾟ) "So that's why you didn't let Wen Ge into your box?"
Jiangnan: (◕‾᷄◡‾᷅◕)
Mo Mo covered her face. Indeed, Nan Shen's schemes are deep. You've really figured out this Black Mark Assembly, haven't you?
