"Let us congratulate our friend in room 147. He obtained the second grand finale item today for a price of 600 million star yuan... the colorful jade!"
No one noticed that Michael's tone was slightly disordered during the countdown. This disorder itself did not cause any abnormality, but it could make people who were accustomed to his previous speaking tone unable to grasp the rhythm of his words.
To put it simply, it is like a 1.1 times fast forward in a video. What originally took five seconds to finish according to the rhythm, now only takes four and a half seconds.
For auctions, this method can disrupt the minds of bidders to a certain extent.
Just like this, Taishi Xiaoxiao looked like he was hesitating to speak. She hesitated for a moment, but she didn't expect that she missed her last opportunity. She didn't notice anything unusual, but she just felt that she had been hesitating for too long.
As a result, the opportunity to bid was missed.
Of course, she would not know that no matter how she quoted the price, she would not be able to buy the colorful jade today!
Taishi Zhiteng shouted in despair: "Mom! What should we do now?!"
Seeing his son's useless behavior, Taishi Xiaoxiao's originally irritable mood surprisingly improved.
Maybe it's a good thing that I didn't spend a huge price to get the fantasy jade back!
It is useless to think too much. The next thing to think about is to reduce the losses as much as possible and reduce the son's guilt.
When Michael shouted that the deal was done, even Lando couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This time I came to auction the fantasy jade. Although there were some minor twists and turns, according to the final result, it was still smooth sailing.
The only thing that made him feel a little helpless was that the price of the fantasy jade was a bit beyond expectations. It actually cost 500 million. To be honest, this price was already a bit too much for the fantasy jade.
Claire doesn't need to borrow the 50 million, but the 40 million from Nalan sisters and sister Lanmeng can be paid back later.
There are still about 5 million left, and I don't know if it will be enough to carry out a new round of renovations on the Clivia.
However, there is no rush in this. You can use Fantasy Jade to upgrade the Clivia first, and then you can take your time.
This time I got 1.3 standard units of fantasy jade. Lando doesn’t plan to sell the extra 0.3 units. He can try to build some special weapons by the time.
Although he really wanted to go back and study the Fantasy Jade right away, he was not really a brat. He still needed to have some human sophistication. After the auction, he also needed to thank those who helped him and those who tried to help him.
Of course, curiosity about the final auction item was also one of the reasons why he stayed.
"Haha, it seems that today is really my lucky day. The bids for the two grand finale items are higher than the other. So I wonder if this last grand finale item can break through the limits of the first two items and set a new high?!"
With passion on his face, Michael came to the last lot and directly revealed its true identity.
The fog dissipated, revealing a cubic transparent glass box inside, with a black sphere floating between reality and reality inside the box.
The moment Lando saw the black sphere, although he didn't know what it was, a strong throbbing feeling filled his heart.
This feeling is similar to when you first obtained the Star Spirit Core and the Star Core Liquid, but it is even stronger than before!
This lets Lando know that this black sphere may be a really good thing and will be extremely useful to him!
Unfortunately……
"This...could it be..."
Michael made an extremely exaggerated expression, seeming to express his shock.
The moment Zhu Tianyang in Room 5 saw the black ball, he stood up suddenly, his eyes filled with surprise and excitement.
However, most people seemed a little confused and didn't understand what this strange black ball was.
No need for Michael to explain, there is a long and detailed introduction to the black ball naturally appearing in the sky.
In the dimensional universe, needless to say about the level of reality, the dimensional world is really endless!
So far, the alliance has not been able to calculate the specific number of dimensional worlds.
Every moment, countless intelligent beings go to explore the dimensional world, and many of them are trying to find a brand new, unexplored dimensional world through the dimensional mezzanine with extremely confusing rules!
Most of them are lost in the endless chaos, and even if they are lucky enough to return occasionally, most of them have become crazy.
Even so, adventurers are still flocking to it, because once they encounter that one-in-a-billion success, they can get...
Eternal glory, endless power, supreme strength, and the wealth of an entire dimensional world that can be taken away from you!
He suddenly became the new upstart in the alliance, the real handful of people who are at the top!
Of course, the above are actually just gimmicks. Even if you really find a new dimensional world, it is just the first step on the road to success. If you want to truly stand on the top of all living beings, you still need a lot of hard work.
!
But! There are no successful examples!
Several of the top families in the league grew up in this way!
But this probability is really too low. Going through a near-death situation just to bet on a one-in-a-billion chance?!
Even those top aristocratic families cannot afford such squandering.
This small black ball is called... a dimensional beacon in professional terms!
It is an energy entity containing the original breath of the dimension that has fallen off due to some special changes in the dimensional world.
Once it is activated, the dimensional origin breath inside it will spread, and it will instinctively search for the dimensional world where it was born.
Although its diffusion range and duration are limited, the probability of finding the dimensional world still belongs to the category of finding a needle in a haystack, but at least it is casting out the fishing net to find the needle, which is much better than closing your eyes and groping bit by bit with bare hands.
It’s much safer too!
The only pity is that this is a one-time deal. If you don't get feedback after activation, it is equivalent to wasting it. The original aura that escapes will not come back on its own!
And it only targets a specific dimensional world.
Therefore, the location and timing of using dimensional beacons are very particular.
Michael smiled and said: "It is a dimensional beacon that can only be used once. It is said to be a fishing net that can be thrown out in the sea. Its specific information will be notified to the auctioneer after the auction is completed. So, let's take a look at this cute beacon.
What kind of price can these little things fetch today?”
"Dimensional beacon, those who are lucky will get everything, and those who are unlucky will get nothing. The low price is 100 million, and each increase must not be less than 100,000. Start bidding!"
"One billion!"
The fiery atmosphere had not yet begun when a sudden voice immediately plunged everyone into silence.
Michael was also stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It seems that we have met an impatient customer. He bids one billion on the 5th. Is there anyone else who bids higher?"
Zhu Tianyang sat in room 5 and had returned to his usual calm.
The two men in black robes looked at each other, feeling helpless.
To be honest, one billion is not too much in their opinion. If this dimensional beacon appears in the central star field of the alliance, it may be able to fetch two billion.
But...for these lonely ghosts who have been wandering outside for such a long time, one billion is already a big number.
After spending so much money, the brothers will probably have to live a tight life for a while.
For example, the daily food standard for each person has been reduced from 10,000 to 8,000.
For example, the originally unlimited application quota for dimensional energy crystals now has some restrictions!
There are other……
There was no surprise. After the price of one billion was announced on the 5th, no one was competing with it, and the dimension beacon was successfully acquired by Zhu Tianyang.
This also announces the successful conclusion of this auction!
After the meeting, Lando and the others were teleported directly from Room 147 to an independent space, where they completed the subsequent transaction.
After getting the fantasy jade, although he was a little curious about the person who sold this extraordinary material, he did not boldly ask to meet.
In essence, the two parties were just trading. He could buy the fantasy jade at a relatively cheap price, while the captain and the others borrowed Lando's hand, making it impossible for the Taishi family to buy back the fantasy jade!
You are in love with me, so there is no question of who benefits and who suffers.
After completing this, Lando made a request to Claire to see Michael.
Others couldn't see the help the other party gave him when buying the auction, but how could Lando, as a hidden psychic ability master, not see it.
Even without the other party's help, he would definitely be able to take the photo of the colorful jade.
But Lando has always believed in "Those who do good to me will do good". No matter what the other person's reason is for helping him, if you help him, you will help him, and he will naturally remember this favor.
As a result, he learned from Claire that Michael left Fengyi Planet directly after the auction.
This surprised Lando, but thinking about it carefully, it seems to be in line with Michael's style of behavior.
Shake your head and don’t worry about this anymore. If there is a chance, we can always meet again in the future!
Went back to Claire's house to rest for a day.
After agreeing to have a chance to hang out together in the future, Lando and the four of them also embarked on a journey back to Yanlong Star.
After Lando and the others left, Claire came to a quiet villa deep in the manor.
Without knocking, he pushed the door open directly and saw a man with a peaceful temperament sitting there, carefully reading a document in his hand.
This person is Claire's father, the current head of the Cantu family, Bodie Cantu.
Originally, the Cantu family could only be considered at the bottom among the ten business alliances, and all kinds of benefits could basically be picked up from what others left.
After Bodie succeeded as the head of the Cantu family, he gradually led the family to a new height with his superb skills and unique vision.
Now they have the capital to compete for the top three in the business alliance.
Claire sat down on the sofa carelessly and said, "Xiaoxin and the others are leaving!"
Bodie put down the document in his hand and said with a smile: "You made a new friend? How does it feel?"
Claire thought for a while and said, "Although Sister Lanmeng is a teacher at Yanlong University, perhaps because of her age, she does not give people that stereotyped impression, but she can chat with us quite well."
"As for that little brother Lando, I feel more like a kid who suddenly rose to prominence by relying on shitty luck. His luck is really good!"
"Luck?" Bodie smiled hoarsely: "Where in this world can you succeed just by luck?! There are countless factors that determine success, such as talent, strength, connections, family background, and even the appearance that makes people fall in love at first sight.
Or the affinity that makes people trust from the heart, etc. These factors may play different roles at different times and places!”
"As long as you can grasp one or two of them, success will be within easy reach!"
Claire was used to her father's occasional and sudden lectures.
Although she didn't say it, she still admired her father in her heart, so since she became sensible, she would think about it every time she heard similar preaching.
After Claire left, Bodie turned his attention to the documents he had thrown carelessly on the table...
"On the feasibility of expanding the business alliance from ten to twelve"
The establishment of any system is to serve the highest level, so if you want to shake the structure of an organization, you will naturally touch the fundamental interests of the organization, and thus encounter opposition and resistance from top to bottom!
Even a discerning person can see that as long as this change continues, everything will get better!
However, many people are like this. I don’t know if it will get better in the future. I only know that the cake in my hand is going to be divided now!
This is also the fundamental reason why most reforms in ancient times failed miserably in the end!
Of course, Bodie made this plan not for the collective interests of the business alliance.
If it were really possible, he would even wish to swallow up all the other nine companies in the merchant alliance. It would be best if one company becomes the largest!
But you have to eat your meals one bite at a time. You can’t become fat after just one meal!
As we all know, it is easy to fish in muddy waters.
For the power structure of the business alliance that has begun to gradually solidify, it is almost impossible for latecomers to truly rise to power!
Therefore, it is necessary for new beasts to enter the scene and break the original rules of order, so that the people below them have enough room to perform!
This is also a big gamble. If you lose, you may even lose the little profit you have now.
But Bodie has full confidence in himself, and he believes that he will definitely be able to grab the biggest piece of cake in the new round of competition!
That's why he wants to break the current rules!
Now, the only thing that needs serious consideration is the selection of these two ‘beasts’.
First of all, don’t be too weak!
If they are too weak, they may be wiped out as soon as they enter the arena, and they may not even dare to enter the arena!
But don’t be too strong!
Of course, strength here mainly refers to business capabilities.
In this case, there are not many targets to choose from in the Flame Dragon constellation star field and several surrounding star fields!
The Nalan family and the Lan family are all candidates.
As for how to make these giant crocodiles come in voluntarily? How to make them act according to their own wishes?
