# Chapter 2717: Did I Sell It Too Cheap?
The Carbon Alliance had become so wealthy that they were auctioning off their own base planets?
This was the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle, why was an auction being held here!
However, upon hearing the news, all races became excited!
There were almost no mobile base planets left on the battlefield anymore, all of them were in the hands of the major powers!
For the smaller races to get their hands on a base planet, they often had to destroy someone else's main star!
The price paid was not ordinary!
If they could buy one from Jiangnan, wouldn't that be wonderful?
How many rankings could a single base planet's score difference increase?
Immediately, quite a few races became interested!
This was an opportunity coming their way!
But when everyone saw Jiangnan on the Starlight Exhibition Platform, reeking of money, with that devilish smile on his face!
They all shuddered fiercely, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them from head to toe!
An auction held by Jiangnan? Who knows what trap he'd dug for everyone to jump into?
Whoever goes is an idiot!
Although being able to buy a base planet was a good thing, Jiangnan's reputation was notorious, and the Starry Sky Races forcibly suppressed their inner excitement!
Even Tianli's face darkened!
What the hell auction! How did you come up with that? Can you really harvest leeks like this?
Seeing that the Starry Sky Races remained silent despite his shouting, Jiangnan asked confusedly:
(๑•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "What's wrong? Isn't this good news for everyone?"
"Why isn't anyone stepping up? Nobody's sending representatives to participate?"
Mingsha sneered:
(￢～￢〃) "Who dares to go? If we buy your base planet, the moment we pay, you'll send someone to snatch it back, right?"
"Throwing money into the water at least makes a sound! Giving it to you? That's like throwing a meat bun at a..."
Jiangnan: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "Huh?"
Mingsha shuddered: (´-﹏-`；) "...Throwing it at a deity! It never comes back!"
Xianguo and Guqiong's mouths twitched. Since when did deities eat meat buns?
Jiangnan immediately put on a smiling face:
(๑⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴) "You don't need to worry about that. Anyone who buys a base planet from my Carbon Alliance becomes my customer!"
"I guarantee I won't attack you further. What you buy is yours. If I actually did that, I'd incur everyone's wrath, and I wouldn't be able to continue this business, would I?"
"The starry sky isn't about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships. Now that you have a chance to obtain base planets without fighting, improving your rankings—why not do it?"
"You don't need to worry about safety either. Fighting is prohibited in the Peace Talk Area, and violators will be punished. That's why I set the auction location here!"
"Everyone who has money, please contribute. Those who don't have money, go home and get some, then contribute. Come participate quickly~"
He finished speaking with open arms, smiling brightly at the sea of stars.
*⁂٩(๑•̀ꇴ•́๑)۶*⁂
But the starry sky remained silent, as if six black dots were floating in the sky...
*⁂٩(๑꒪ᗜ꒪๑)۶*⁂
Yang Jian couldn't help but laugh. He hadn't anticipated this situation. It was mainly because Jiangnan's reputation was terrible!
The Starry Sky Races had been tricked too many times!
So even though the auction was tempting, they didn't dare to get involved, afraid of being scammed!
Jiangnan's forehead bulged with two veins!
☚(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅ꐦ)☛ "Damn it! Are you coming or not? I'll give you three minutes! All race leaders, bring your money and send people to participate in the auction!"
"If I don't see anyone from your race after three minutes, I'll blast you with a Black Hole Jet!"
"Apocalypse Race! Load the ammunition! Now!"
Du Lingyu immediately ordered the Apocalypse Legion to load the Black Hole Joint Defense!
Wang Youzhi cackled with laughter. He's anxious! He's really anxious!
All the Starry Sky Races shuddered, looking at the rotating Black Hole Joint Defense array in the Carbon Alliance camp with fear!
One shot from that, and nothing would be left!
If you don't agree, he'll just blow up your home?
Jiangnan had perfectly demonstrated what it meant to force a sale!
He was truly polite; he could have just robbed them, but he insisted on holding an auction!
Now the leaders of the Starry Sky Races couldn't sit still anymore. To avoid having their homes blown up, they rushed toward the Peace Talk Area like their lives depended on it, nearly stomping the accelerator through the engine!
Being threatened was one thing, but if they could really exchange money for base planets and improve their rankings, that would be absolutely wonderful!
Representatives from various alliances—the Matter Alliance, Angels, and even Tianli—all came with their people!
Tianli's thinking was simple: if he could get a large number of base planets from Jiangnan, it would help close the gap with the Silicon-based in terms of points!
At this point, who cared about face? Seizing every opportunity to turn things around was the real priority!
Representatives from all races arrived at the Peace Talk Area, flooding into Star Light City.
The previously somewhat quiet city finally had some liveliness!
No one dared to be absent, of course. The Silicon-based didn't come, but they had no need to either.
Jiangnan's face immediately lit up with joy!
(˵¯͒ヮ¯͒˵) "Everyone knows in their hearts that none of you are well-off right now. Having a few more base planets can create a significant gap with other races!"
"If you lead troops to seize them, people will die. Investing resources to obtain base planets directly from me achieves the same goal, doesn't it?"
"Why bother fighting and killing? My Carbon Alliance has always been striving to promote peaceful development in the starry sky!"
A chorus of "Ptooey!" sounds came from the crowd!
(￢3￢)‧吐～º·˚*⁂
Peace, your ass! Nuclear peace, more like! He was just threatening to blast everyone's camps!
Jiangnan didn't dawdle. Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, he snapped his fingers!
A massive holographic projection of base planets appeared on the spot!
(˵ಡڡಡ) "I'm not going to be stingy! One hundred 18th-hand base planets, sold as a package! No starting bid! Just make your offers! If it reaches my expected price, I'll sell directly! If not, it's a no-sale!"
"Since this is the Peace Talk Area, I can't transport the base planets here. After the transaction is complete, find our staff to get an invoice, then take the invoice to the Carbon Alliance camp to collect your planet!"
"Includes free delivery service. Anyone who dares to rob you on the way, my Carbon Alliance Black Hole Jet will blast them. Your safety is absolutely guaranteed!"
"Bidding begins!"
The leaders of the various races covered their faces. What the hell, issuing invoices? Was this really that formal?
I'm actually participating in an auction during the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle! Who would believe this if I told them?
Looking at the holographic projection of a hundred base planets, many races became tempted!
A hundred planets! That's 100,000 points!
Once obtained, how many rankings could they jump ahead of other races?
Under the current situation, even if they worked themselves to death, they couldn't collect a hundred base planets!
What kind of price would that require?
But who knew what Jiangnan's expected price was? For a moment, no one dared to bid!
Meanwhile, the leaders of the Wu Zhong Alliance gathered together and discussed for a long time.
The three hundred-plus base planets they had used to repay their debt had all been destroyed. They thought Jiangnan would renege on the deal!
But even though they were destroyed, Jiangnan didn't hold them accountable!
Furthermore, because the Wu Zhong Alliance had also suffered casualties during the escort due to the Annihilation Plan,
Jiangnan directly canceled their debt and returned all the main stars with racial beacons to them!
Considered it compensation for their losses!
Although these planets had originally been taken by Jiangnan, for some reason, they felt a bit of gratitude toward him!
Now, any base planets they earned would be their own points!
Considering that Jiangnan had kept his word before, they unanimously decided to give it a try!
Since they didn't know Jiangnan's expected price or whether he would demand an exorbitant amount,
the Wu Zhong Alliance roughly calculated the resources required to seize one base planet through combat, then multiplied it by a hundred!
Shiyu of the Corpse Race said:
(*ﾟ⌂ﾟ)ﾂ "Our Wu Zhong Alliance offers 100 trillion star source energy blocks! 100,000 cubic meters of holy light potion! 1 billion death qi bombs! 100,000 cubic meters of heart-thought spirit crystals! 3,000 sets of demon-phase defense arrays! One 7425 mining area energy crystal mine..."
Shiyu frantically quoted prices, and after three minutes, she still hadn't finished. The long string of prices left Jiangnan dumbfounded!
Don't think the numbers are exaggerated. Everyone here has a race backing them!
Once you reach the racial level, the numbers become terrifying. The consumption of war is immense!
Even a small race, with years of accumulated heritage, has abundant war reserves and resource reserves!
For example, a single Tomahawk missile costs two million US dollars!
Jiangnan had never seen such a spectacle! Several times he thought Shiyu was about to finish and wanted to interrupt,
but she kept going!
Good heavens! Could base planets really sell for such a sky-high price?
This... this valuable?
After reciting for a long time, Shiyu finally finished:
(٥◔﹏◔ิ) "Um... is this enough? This is what all the member races of our Wu Zhong Alliance pooled together!"
"How's the price? Does it meet your expected price?"
Jiangnan rested his chin on his hand, frowning deeply:
(｡･ˇกˇ･｡:) "Mm... Ai Jiang? Calculate the total value and report it to me!"
But inside, he was about to burst!
(งᵒ̌ꇴᵒ̌)ง Ahhh! Sell! Sell right now!
A hundred base planets could sell for so much money? I'm rich, I'm rich, damn it!
When I was fighting the Bose race, I destroyed so many?
I'm so wasteful!
He wanted to slap himself twice!
Seeing Jiangnan frown, Shiyu's face turned pale. Had they offered too little?
They had simply added together the resources the Wu Zhong Alliance would consume to seize a hundred base planets!
It wasn't really attractive!
After all, buying directly from Jiangnan saved effort and didn't cost lives!
They should add more!
Shiyu tested the waters:
(•́～•̀٥)୨ "W...we can add a bit more. How about multiplying the just-quoted price by 1.5?"
Jiangnan frowned even deeper!
Yang Jian turned his head, barely holding back his laughter. Jiangnan's expression clearly showed he could hardly contain himself!
Jiangnan announced loudly:
(｡･ˇ_ˇ･｡:) "Everyone? Besides the Wu Zhong Alliance's bid, is there no one else?"
The representatives of various races all lowered their heads. Who knew what trap lay here?
A hundred base planets, 100,000 points, and they were being sold so cheap?
And the Wu Zhong Alliance actually dared to buy them?
Jiangnan waved his hand:
(︶益︶〃)ﾉ "No bids? Fine, fine! Sold to you! Send the resources over and handle the handover procedures!"
"The slip is ready. Take the slip to the Carbon Alliance camp and collect your base planets!"
The Wu Zhong Alliance members stood with wide eyes, stunned!
Shiyu was dumbfounded: (๑ʘ̅дʘ̅๑) "Th...that's it? Sold to us?"
"Our psychological price limit was triple that!"
