Before the grand auction.
According to the list of auction items provided by the organizers, they could only see some basic information about the Orange Quality modules up for bidding.
The Commerce Department, led by Mingzhi Guangxiu, consulted big data from previous grand auctions.
Based on the usual circumstances, they made estimates of the prices.
The Sky Peng Horizontal exchanged for five hundred thousand Auction Coins using several different identities.
They had still left themselves some leeway.
As it turned out,
just as Mingzhi Guangxiu had said, a number of external factors—and, more importantly,

The initial reserve of five hundred thousand Auction Coins, combined with another five hundred thousand exchanged later,
might only be just enough to secure four Orange Quality modules.
That left the Orange Quality Star Destroyer Cannon on the list,
another module Wang Dong was keeping a close eye on at this grand auction.
They didn't have enough budget!
There was a solution, of course.
They could simply exchange for more.

and the Sky Peng Horizontal could switch to another identity,
it was obvious that evading those people who had grown more vigilant would not be as easy as it had been last time!
That was why Mingzhi Guangxiu had specifically reminded Wang
