Wisdom Crystal Ball

The auction soon reached its third day. Today's offerings were all kinds of equipment, a rather mixed assortment.

There were Source Cores, Nanofluid Metal, Hyper-Dimensional Metal, magical artifact weapons, super combat implants, scientific research equipment, 3D printing machines, portable Cold Nuclear Fusion and energy-generation devices, and more, along with a small number of special potions.

There really were quite a few good things, and some of them even caught Chu Fei's interest.

Chu Fei paid particular attention to the Source Cores. They were "cracked" versions.

Most Source Cores excavated from ruins were gene-bound. To use them, one had to crack them and remove the bound genes. Naturally, such cracked versions could not compare to the originals, but they were still useful. Unbound Source Cores were exceedingly rare.

A Source Core was a biological computer. It could provide complex computational power, allowing people whose computational capacity was insufficient and who could not otherwise break through to use it to reach higher realms.

Though such breakthroughs came with all sorts of problems, a breakthrough was still a breakthrough.

These cracked Source Cores started at one billion. By comparison, the lowest-grade Source Cores Chu Fei had obtained in Red Pine City had started at merely one hundred million. A tenfold difference.

The magical artifact weapons, however, made Chu Fei take another look. The earlier auction brochure had included descriptions but no pictures, whereas pictures were available today. Chu Fei had not gone to the venue himself, but Bai Jie had sent him photos from the scene.

Chu Fei's expression darkened a little. *I asked for twenty billion
