Chapter 895: Chapter 893: Whoever Dares to Bid on This, Won’t Leave Here Alive

"30 trillion? How the hell are we supposed to play this game?"

"Is he just bluffing? What if he can’t pay up later?"

"Idiot, every time you bid in this auction, they verify your account balance. In other words, if you can enter this bid on the screen, it means you already have the money in your Dark Coin account!"

"Who can compete with him? 30 trillion Dark Coins? Do all the Dark Coins on everyone here combined even come close?"

...

"Sorry, everyone, but I must have this fleet," Zhang Menglong said. "Of course, if someone can bid higher, I don’t mind spending more. After all, you definitely don’t have more money than I do!"

After saying this, Zhang Menglong took a satisfying sip of water.

Ganei knew exactly how much Dark Coin Zhang Menglong had earned, but Makabaka had no clue, his eyes as wide as light bulbs.

trillion Dark Coins? Who could handle that?

"Are we still in, old man?" A few of the old-timers who also wanted the Zuda Fleet discussed among themselves.

"In my ass! 30 trillion Dark Coins, can you pull that off? Even if I emptied my entire civilization, I couldn’t gather 3 trillion."

"Don’t ask me; my last bid was already my limit."

"Go ask around if there’s anyone else in this universe who can put up 30 trillion Dark Coins. If there is, I’ll call them ’dad’ right then."

"This auction is so pointless!"

...

They really wanted this fleet. They wanted to keep bidding, but they just couldn’t afford it. Even if they sold themselves off, could they be worth 30 trillion Dark Coins?

"Well, congratulations to Mr. Wang Sicong for taking the lead once again!" Hilinaxi was utterly amazed today; she couldn’t believe someone with such terrifying financial power actually existed in this world. The Ritian Sect was simply unbeatable.

"Did he bring all the money Li Jiaqi earned from her last live event?" Everyone suddenly thought of this.

It’s said that Li Jiaqi’s GMV exceeded 100 trillion Dark Coins during that one live event, an unprecedented record in history.

If he really brought all that money, then Wang Sicong’s actions wouldn’t be so surprising. Over 100 trillion Dark Coins—how are others supposed to compete?

"Thank you, thank you all for letting me win!"

Having won that fleet, Zhang Menglong was in a great mood. "I won’t be competing for the next items, so feel free, everyone!"

"He’s not bidding anymore?"

"Great, we can finally have some fun!"

"Wuhu! Only a third of the stuff is sold; surely we can get some good stuff now?"

...

"Sir, here’s the controller for this fleet!" A staff member handed a round sphere to Zhang Menglong.

As soon as Zhang Menglong touched the sphere, he established a subtle connection with the fleet, just like the legends said. This fleet seemed to possess life!

"This is amazing!" Zhang Menglong never imagined that his consciousness could communicate with a piece of metal.

"Principal, what’s so strange about that? In high-grade magical worlds, weapons can even develop self-awareness or artifact spirits, which are proper life forms. Your fleet’s awareness is, at best, artificial, just surface-level!" Gou Dan said.

"True," Zhang Menglong nodded. "How do you think this thing was made?"

"Let me give you an example," Gou Dan said. "This world’s container is an infinite space, and your universe is just an egg. Other parallel worlds are also just eggs in this container. Does that make sense to you?"

"A bit abstract, but I kind of get it."

"According to the law of conservation of matter, nothing is born out of thin air. So, this space that holds parallel universes is filled with various materials. Some are alive, some have consciousness, and some have neither. When your universe was born, some special materials got bundled into it."

"So the materials for building this fleet might be similar to those used for crafting weapons with artifact spirits in high-grade worlds?"

"You could say that, but your universe is clearly born in a rather barren region, so cosmic resources are scarce. This fleet probably used up all such materials, making it a one-of-a-kind fleet."

"I see, then it’s quite a treasure," Zhang Menglong said. "If I could contact my other ancestors, I’d have them send more over. I’d make a million ships and be unstoppable."

"It seems like it’s telling me they’re hungry and need energy," Zhang Menglong vaguely felt a faint will conveying this information to him.

"That’s normal," Gou Dan said. "At least a billion years have passed. Even in hibernation, the fleet’s energy would be scarce by now. You’ll need quite a bit of energy to operate it in the future."

"I’ve calculated that one Level Six Energy Crystal can sustain a warship in high-load combat for a year. In low-power hibernation mode, it can last millions of years. You should probably buy some Energy Crystals, or the fleet won’t even be able to return."

"That’s easy," Zhang Menglong said, opening the cosmic trading market. Here, you could find almost anything you wanted. Even though Level Six Energy Crystals are rare, they are still abundant across the universe.

"Level Six Energy Crystals." Zhang Menglong searched for the information. Depending on quality and weight, the cheapest are about 200 billion Cosmic Coins each, while the highest quality can go for up to 10 trillion.

The companies that sell Level Six Energy Crystals are the top mining companies in the universe. Though rare, each company has anywhere from a few thousand to a few hundred on hand.

"Gou Dan, buy up all the Level Six Energy Crystals available!"

"Alright!" Gou Dan quickly placed orders. "Principal, there are 2,313,266 Level Six Energy Crystals available, totaling about 36 million cosmic coins."

"Buy them all!" Zhang Menglong said with a grand gesture. Even in large-scale battles, this amount would sustain him for hundreds of years, let alone in normal circumstances.

.....

"What happened? Why are there no Level Six Energy Crystals?" Other customers trying to buy the crystals were stunned, seeing only blank screens when they opened the interface.

"What? All sold out?"

"I saw there were millions available yesterday. Who the hell bought millions of Level Six Energy Crystals? Are they insane?"

...

"Big Brother!" Ganei suddenly interrupted Zhang Menglong, who was busy browsing shopping sites. There were just too many things in the cosmic trading market, making it hard to stop scrolling.

"Don’t bother me!" Zhang Menglong was looking at a pair of high-tech, Level Five civilization underwear.

"Big Brother, it’s our civilization’s Sacred Stone!"

"What? Sacred Stone?" Zhang Menglong quickly exited the trading market, fixing his eyes on the central auction stage.

A pure white stone with golden veins all over it, emitting a rich life force similar to the aura on Ganei.

"Big Brother, I feel like it’s calling me." In their Moha Clan, besides the deceased, only a few have ever seen the Sacred Stone. This was the first time Ganei laid eyes on the legendary artifact.

"Principal, this stone is something special!" It was the first time Gou Dan praised something from their universe. "This is worth buying, at least it could forge a Heaven Rank weapon."

"What’s a Heaven Rank weapon?"

"The three major ranks and the nine minor ranks of Di, Xuan, Huang are roughly equivalent to this universe’s level nine Martial Weapons. A Heaven Rank weapon is beyond that, imagine that."

"Wouldn’t that be crazy?"

Anyway, Zhang Menglong had intended to win this Sacred Stone.

"I think many of you are already familiar with this Sacred Stone. It could potentially be used to craft the most powerful Martial Weapon yet. Its starting bid is also 1 trillion Dark Coins!"

"Ahem!" The moment Hilinaxi finished speaking, Zhang Menglong cut in, "This Sacred Stone belongs to our Ritian Sect. If anyone dares to bid on it, I’ll make sure they don’t leave this underground cosmic expo!"
