255 Forex Harvest
Li Aoz didn't expect that Crystal Tower's eating appearance was so ugly. He knew that White Candle Star no longer had any important Magic Workshop, the most critical 'Eye of Discernment fragments', two of which were snatched away by Night Butterfly Federation, and the remaining one had already been secretly transferred.
Anyone who spends 80 million Ammonium Gold for Eye of Discernment fragments is the ultimate villain, and Li Aoz will laugh at him severely.
"It looks like there will be a lot of bleeding, but it doesn't matter. The price is slightly higher. After my operation, the cost can be recovered soon."
But it's a pity that online auctions are now popular. Li Aoz After looking around, there was no scene of sellers exchanging pleasantries or making harsh remarks. It's really a pity.
The popular auction prices are raised, but here there is only indifferent reporting. It is not even possible to tell whether the auction with you is a human being or a digital life.
Knock knock knock——
There was a knock on the office door.
"Come in." Li Aoz said casually. The next moment, the door opened, and Nikita walked in with a stack of documents in his arms. He clattered and landed on Li Aoz's desk.
"What do you think, you suddenly decided to ask me to collect information on 'Qualia-Direction'?"
Nikita muttered.
"It's just a personal hobby." Li Aoz picked up a document, and the translation software automatically converted it into a language he could understand: ""Qualia-Direction: A Mysterious Power Monster", "Star Abyss Strange Things: Lord Entropy, Qualia-Direction, Origin Beast, Law Wraith"... I knew that Magic Civilization's interest in this kind of magical creature far exceeded that of other civilizations."
"In the ancient legend of Star Abyss, Entropy Lord 'Ithofia', Qualia-Direction 'Enrique', Origin Beast 'Origin', Law Wraith 'Leroux Z' are four races that are older than the gods. They are neither living creatures nor have the concept of death. Even if the Destroyer comes in, they will still look at the existence of Star Abyss. After all, for them, whether Star Abyss is destroyed or not will not affect their lives."
Li Aoz flipped through it at random. "Among them, Entropy Lord is a harmful beast that will cause serious disasters to the material universe. As long as the larvae are found, they must be eliminated immediately. The Origin Beast is more mysterious and is said to be an ancient existence that existed at the beginning of the universe. To Law Wraith is probably the safest primitive race. Their initial form was born from Spirit Maggot. They can now be used by "Temple of Annihilation" as a prop for planting star gods."
Interesting.
This part of the content was no different from what he remembered. Even in the previous life, with Recognition Filter, the information of the original race was not hidden.
On the other hand, Qiqiao Network is more about preventing players from understanding the content of [Hidden Society], preventing players from learning the extraordinary power in the game, and preventing players from climbing the road in reality.
... What is this? Awareness warfare? Or does Terra Federation want to maintain his rule and prevent players from gaining power from the game? But in reality there is no contradiction at all. Is this necessary?
"Qualia-Direction is a strange thing. It's not dangerous, but whether it can be used on living people - no one knows."
Nikita rubbed his hands and said:
"Anyway, I have some connections and I have collected all this information for you, Mr. Mayor."
"Thank you for your hard work, Nikita. "Li Aoz nodded. "This information is very useful to me. If you want any reward, just ask."
"You're out of touch, Lioz. You spent five years turning us, a group of foreign refugees, into decent citizens. With safety and economic security, there's nothing more I want."
Nikita shook his head and reminded him, "Are you participating in the planet auction?"
"Well, it's already started, but my goal is the final big shaft, so there's no rush. "Li Aoz turned the screen over. "These are the planets in front."
"Let me help you see, it would be great if we could build a few enclaves or satellites. If we get a resource planet, we can start transfer payments."
Nikita immediately cheered up. When he was young, he was also a strong person in Zeta-rank (6). He followed Valenkov's army and traveled far and wide, and he was well-informed:
"Robbie-2, Aquamarine Star - I am familiar with these two planets. The civilizations on them are stupid and warlike. They have obviously entered the capitalist era and cannot even go up to the universe. They are waste among wastes. Mud cannot support the wall. The resources are not insufficient, but they are fighting all day long. The key is not to build a unified empire. Whoever buys it will be stupid!"
"Vallecor Planet? You can consider this. It is suitable for the survival of atmospheric organisms. The land area is too small and the thickness of the atmosphere is too high. If you have dragons, griffins, elemental creatures, etc., you can put them here to cultivate. The advantage is that it can accommodate up to the maximum limit of Kappa-rank (10). But the price is a bit expensive - holy shit, 40 million Ammonium Gold! Give me so much money, I can save 400,000 Zeta-rank (6) The mercenaries have brought down this planet!"
"Eh? Fire Demon Star! All these precious planets are sold. Let me tell you, even though this planet is on the edge of the Milky Way, the residents here are descendants of Demon Civilization from the Age of Gods. The volcanic environment has brought fertile soil, the ocean area is not small, and the output of expensive rare elements is very high. The key is that the regeneration capacity of the minerals is first-rate, and a batch of minerals can be regenerated every 300,000 years on average. The ecological upper limit can accommodate Iota-rank (9) - you ask about the shortcomings? No shortcomings! Its disadvantage is that it is expensive! 200 million Ammonium Gold! It has no disadvantages, the disadvantage is that I am not rich enough!"
Nikita glanced at the auction list and made comments, helping Li Aoz avoid lightning.
The auction continued, and Ammonium Gold was worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions. At first, Nikita was quite stunned, but after gradually getting used to it, he only disliked Li Aoz's insufficient wallet.
"Hey, Lioz, can't you contribute some more money?"
"Many of my assets are from trust funds, and some are investments and cannot be touched."
Li Aoz said calmly, "My budget this time is only 120 million. If I mortgage some assets at most, they can still be worth 37 million. The total is only 157 million. White Candle Star may cost tens of millions more, so I have to prepare for the battle with all my strength."
"That's right, White Candle Star is the highlight."
Nikita nodded. At this time, catching up with the new auction items, he focused his eyes and immediately said in surprise:
"This is...Ister Star! Damn it, it's only 8 million Ammonium Gold, buy it quickly!"
"What planet is that?"
"It looks like a simple rocky planet, but few people know that there is an ancient star gate worth 50 million on this planet, which may lead to the God Samurai station in a certain era of gods. Even if you don't find anything, just picking up a star gate for nothing will save you many lives. Eight million dollars to buy a life, do you think it's a good deal or not?"
Li Aoz perked up and quickly followed the auction. "No. 077, 8.2 million——"
"No. 016, bid 8.9 million."
"No. 190, bid 12 million"
"No. 122, bid 38 million."
After a while, the planet was auctioned for 56.09 million.
Li Aoz choked and looked at Nikita: "It seems that everyone knows about the star gate on this planet."
"Cut! it's a pity. "Nikita clicked his tongue. "A star gate represents a way out, especially a star gate left over from the age of gods. The surrounding environment has been explored by the gods at that time, and there will be no extreme weather. If you pick up a few artifacts, the historical value alone will be more than the amount of the auction..."
"Maybe they have their own information channels. "Li Aoz was not discouraged, "Keep looking."
"Sotrey Star, the price is only two million! Buy buy buy! There is a race of machines that can transform and you can earn money with your blood!"
Nikita shouted hurriedly.
Li Aoz Before he had time to raise his placard, the price had already doubled tenfold.
"Glacier Star has a very rich Magic Crystal fuel, only nine million. This must be captured..."
"Wind Moon Star, the civilization above has almost left its home planet, and it is only priced at 1.2 million. My God, it would be a big injustice not to buy it!"
"Darya Ring - This planet comes with a super powerful geomagnetic field shield. If you buy it, Orbital Bombardment will become a joke. It only sells for 10 million. Haha, officials with no eyesight, let's take it!"
The morning after the auction, the expressions of Li Aoz and Nikita became more and more solemn.
"Nikita," Li Aoz said solemnly, "There is something wrong with this situation."
"The planets that looked cheap turned out to be robbed. "Nikita rubbed his head, puzzled. "This group of people... can't possibly have a longer journey than me, an old mercenary, in a lifetime, right?"
Several times they saw the treasure planet with low prices and prepared to pick it up, but found that everyone knew the benefits.
"It's okay once or twice. In one morning, more than two hundred items were auctioned, but not a single purchase was successful. This is not a matter of luck."
Li Aoz narrowed his eyes.
"That being said, you don't have any evidence."
"I recorded it a little bit."
Li Aoz cut the screen and brought up a form. "There are a total of 360 people participating in this auction. We are No. 077. Since it is an online auction, we don't know the identities of the others."
Li Aoz looked at the number of bids and his eyes flashed. "Every time we bid, No. 016, 190, and 122 will definitely bid. But usually, they don't participate in the calling at all, and only buy these "missed" planets."
"No. 014 has good acting skills, and he also knows how to shout a few words occasionally. No. 262 is half-acted and half-real, and it is indeed a purchase of several normal planets. No. 355 is really stupid. I don't even know how to make up the numbers. I buy it at the highest price every time."
"Looking at it this way, it's not that we are being targeted, but that those planets that were missed and have high cost performance have been booked."
"But whether others know about us... it's hard to say."
"Do you suspect that the authorities deliberately colluded with others to reveal the identity of the buyer?"
Nikita was surprised. "You are a Interstellar Civilization after all, so you wouldn't do such a thing, right?"
"Philosopher King of the Empire once said: Don't underestimate the upper limit of civilization, and don't overestimate the lower limit of civilization."
Li Aoz simply calculated the number. "The total value of the goods in this auction is about 12.2 billion Ammonium Gold. For non-Interstellar Alliance members like Crystal Tower, who are only third-rate civilizations in the universe, they already hold 16.8% of the foreign exchange. If I were Crystal Tower, I would do the same in order to snatch the foreign exchange from my own people."
"No wonder... Fire Demon Star, such an important planet, is being sold. Does Crystal Tower Civilization want to enhance its credibility in the interstellar market by holding a large amount of Ammonium Gold, Interstellar Forex?"
"Given the ongoing war, perhaps it's more about stabilizing the economic situation within civilization by accumulating currency."
Li Aoz crossed his hands and legs, resting them on the desk, and his thoughts became clearer.
