The auction went smoothly, but this was only the beginning. How to complete the subsequent handover was the crucial part.
The company had bid 600,000 units of life ore for this batch of "C5N2 superconductors." They were certainly deeply unwilling to accept the loss. To complete the subsequent transaction, they would have to meet in person. Needless to say, this stage could very likely develop into a chaotic battle between both sides.
The company's bid was higher than expected, reaching 600,000 units of life ore. Once Su Xiao obtained this batch of life ore and saved up a little more, it would be enough to cover Jila's advancement to the Ruler level.
