Chapter 885: Chapter 883: This Woman Has Something

In just a few days, time flew by. Zhang Menglong squeezed the students and teachers of Super God Academy to produce all the elixirs, and then found a fast logistics company to ship everything out.

Earning money is necessary, but reputation cannot be tarnished. Zhang Menglong didn’t know when he might use the "Ritian Sect" brand again, but as far as he’s concerned, that small cost is negligible compared to the money he’s making.

But when the money landed in Zhang Menglong’s hands, others were dumbfounded. For this auction, everyone was frantically accumulating wealth and earning Dark Coins in the past few days. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

However, they found that business was getting harder and harder to do, as if all the Dark Coins had vanished into thin air, and despite all their efforts, their Dark Coin holdings did not increase significantly.

Soon, the time for the auction finally arrived. The organizer for this auction is also the organizer of this cosmic underground expo. They put a lot of effort into designing the auction venue for this event.

In the center is a circular platform, surrounded by ring-shaped guest seats, reputedly capable of accommodating 10 million bidders and viewers.

Of course, due to the large number of people, not everyone is eligible. Even the most peripheral seats are priced as high as 1 billion Cosmic Coins, while the innermost 2000 seats each cost 10 stars. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

But even so, tickets for the seats were still in short supply, with some resorting to scalping, hiking the prices severalfold.

For those unable to purchase tickets, they could still watch via live broadcast, but non-attendees would not be allowed to participate in the bidding.

Zhang Menglong initially planned to buy two tickets for the innermost area, but as a major shareholder of Cosmic Bank, he surprisingly received two free electronic invitations, with special seats reserved for certain individuals.

With such a good deal, Zhang Menglong naturally saw no reason to refuse.

"Boss, so many people! Their auras are making it hard for me to breathe," Ganei said, looking somewhat breathless. Over the past few days, his life form level had nearly reached Level Three, but it was clear that his improvement was slowing.

"Just look at who these people are," Zhang Menglong said, "Anyone at this auction is at least a Level Five life form, with Level Six and Seven life forms abound. Of course you can’t withstand their auras!"

Even Zhang Menglong felt the pressure. A long line had already formed at the entrance, and regardless of who you were, even if you were a Level Seven life form, you still had to wait in line.

"But we don’t have to queue here," Zhang Menglong smiled, as his invitation was equivalent to a VIP ticket, granting him a personal exclusive passage.

"Sir, this is the exclusive VIP passage. You cannot enter here. If you have a ticket, please line up at that side," a staff member stopped Zhang Menglong immediately.

Currently, Zhang Menglong was just a Level Four life form. To them, securing a ticket was already an incredible feat, let alone someone who could use the VIP passage.

"My invitation states that I should enter from here." Zhang Menglong stated calmly.

The staff member’s expression changed immediately, "Could you please show your invitation?"

"Here you go!" Zhang Menglong projected his electronic invitation, "Please wait a moment while I verify it."

The staff member quickly used a device to scan a string of information from the projection, and then his demeanor became exceedingly respectful, "We apologize for the previous misunderstanding, sir. Thank you for your cooperation."

The VIP passage staff naturally knew the kinds of individuals allowed to use that route.

This auction had only issued 200 electronic invitations in total. Their recipients were either extremely powerful martial artists or leading figures of influential companies or core organization members.

Among those who had just taken the VIP passage were the CEO of the largest network technology company in the universe, a Cosmic Bank five-star user, the vice president of the Cosmic Martial Dao Association, and an eight-level Peak life form. The rest were of similar status and wealth.

And now, a Level Four life form and a Level Two life form appeared in front of them, also holding such an invitation.

"These two young people must have extraordinary backgrounds!" They quickly formed a preliminary judgment of Zhang Menglong and Ganei in their minds.

"Sir, I’ll take you to your seat." A staff member approached from inside the passage, leading them to the front area seats.

This was more like an open-air luxury suite than a seat!

There were not only extremely comfortable chairs but also several staff members attending to their needs, a level of service even those in the front row’s 2,000 seats couldn’t enjoy.

"Sir, the auction is expected to begin in half a Cosmic Day. Please wait patiently, and if you have any requests, please let our staff know, and we’ll make every effort to accommodate them."

"Alright, thank you."

Zhang Menglong and Ganei sat down while the normal area seats behind them started filling up rapidly. The venue must have excellent soundproofing, as Zhang Menglong didn’t feel any noise.

He glanced around; roughly seventy to eighty of the 2,000 inner seats were occupied, with over a dozen individuals like him who had entered through the VIP passage.

At this moment, those people were gazing at Zhang Menglong with great curiosity, wondering how such a weak pair could bypass the VIP channel?

It’s known that although these invitations could be transferred, such important identities would at least be handed over to someone with a somewhat older, more established status if the real big shots couldn’t make it. Letting two youngsters attend was indeed peculiar.

This half Cosmic Day was rather dull, so Zhang Menglong casually started watching videos on the Light of the Universe, dozing off in the process.

...

"Boss, it’s starting, wake up!"

With the cheer and shout around, Zhang Menglong awoke bleary-eyed from his nap. By now, the entire auction hall was packed, with everyone watching the central stage eagerly and with anticipation.

Suddenly, a black seam appeared in the center, and a tall woman tore through the void, stepping out.

Her skin was as white as jade and her golden hair gave her a very noble appearance. Most notably, her aura was the strongest Zhang Menglong had seen, apart from the teachers at Super God Academy.

"Could she be a level nine life form?" Zhang Menglong speculated, "Ganei, do you know who she is?"

"Boss, you don’t even know her!" Ganei showed a surprised expression.

"Should I know her?"

"Of course, among the 8 level nine life forms in the universe, she’s the only woman, and the force behind this cosmic underground expo’s organizers is her!"

"Welcome to the auction of the Cosmic Underground Expo, I’m Ariya," the woman spoke, and as she did, the crowd fell silent. No one dared to make a sound.

"We’ve prepared many surprises for you at this auction. However, I do not wish to see anything I dislike happen here, or the consequences will be severe!" Her voice was like that of an empress, looking down on all, allowing no dissent.

"What a domineering woman!" Zhang Menglong couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her, "This woman is something else!"
