Domains are symbols of Legendary, things that Player can never access.

Currently, Player have not yet come into contact with it, or rather, they are far from having any contact with it.

Currently, none of the Player's Mecha, including Wang Qianduo's Lord of the Elements, have broken through to the Elite-Grade, let alone the Legendary.

They're still a long way from the real game!

"I'm going to find Demon-Breaking Cone that can break witchcraft. Do you want to come with me?" Wang Qianduo asked the group.

"No, it's a waste of money for us to go there. You go by yourself, we're going to rank up!" Lin Qimeng said.

"Yes, we're going to find Miss Jingzhe to rank up too!" Yu Xiaoyu.

"When did you all start hanging out together? What am I supposed to do?" Old Wang.

"You've been weakened and are useless now. Just fend for yourself!" After saying that, Yu Xiaoyu pulled everyone away quickly, leaving Old Wang was completely devastated, bewildered.

The reason people don't carry him is because Old Wang doesn't need anyone to carry him to rank up. Although he has been nerfed, no one in the Arena can withstand his damage.

After everyone left, Old Wang went to the Molten Gold Shop alone.

This was a place recommended to him by Yuan Wuji and a few others, a place where the Demon-Breaking Cone might be found.

The name "Molten Gold Shop" may not sound as grand as "Heavenly Questions Pavilion," but Heavenly Questions Pavilion is simply not worthy of being compared to it.

Heavenly Questions Pavilion is just a relatively well-known antique shop in Fairy City, but Molten Gold Shop is a truly colossal entity that spans the Starry Sky.

Any branch of the Molten Gold Shop, no matter where it is located, far surpasses the Heavenly Questions Pavilion.

However, this incredibly impressive shop is not well-known among Player. This is not because they restrict Player from entering, but simply because the items in their shop are too expensive and too Normal.

Most Player treat him as just a normal system shop, while the few who know how powerful he is have been trying to defeat him, but their progress hasn't been very good.

Old Wang only learned about this Molten Gold Shop, where you could buy and sell anything, after being recommended by Yuan Wuji and others.

Welcome to the Molten Gold Shop!

After Wang Qianduo arrived at the shop entrance, the staff on both sides of the door smiled and spoke to him, and then they ignored him.

And even if you ask them questions, neither of them will answer.

Wang Qianduo nodded and entered the perfectly normal shop. Apart from being a bit more expensive, the items here were exactly the same as in other shops.

However, Player don't know is that this is because these shops are imitations of the Molten Gold Shop.

Old Wang approached a staff member and stated his purpose directly. "Will this auction include the Demon-Breaking Cone?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Give me a ticket!"

"100 Gold Crystal!"

"Give!"

After spending 100 Gold Crystal, Old Wang entered the backyard of the Molten Gold Shop, which was the true core of the Molten Gold Shop: the Molten Gold Auction.

This auction is different from Fatty You. The Molten Gold Shop's auction is a regular event that spans the entire Human Star Domain.

This place has everything, but you'll also be competing with all sorts of people.

With Wang Qianduo's limited wealth, he really can't make any waves here.

Fortunately, the auction he attended was a small one, with no big shots in attendance.

The Demon-Breaking Cone to be auctioned isn't anything particularly precious; it can be had for tens of thousands of Gold Crystal.

As for why Old Wang, who had already cleared Bai Tianyu's first stage, still needed to buy this item, it's because their guild couldn't possibly consist of just their team.

After they clear the dungeon, they will break up the groups and try to make it possible for more people to clear the Instance Dungeon.

Only in this way will it be more beneficial to the development of their entire guild.

Teams with Old Wang don't need this, but teams without Old Wang would definitely need it.

So if there's an easy way to pass the level, they're practically determined to succeed.

The auction at the Fairy City Molten Gold Shop was actually a live video broadcast from a spacious, opulent room behind their shop.

The auction items are located in various parts of the Universe. Auctioneers at each venue put items up for auction via live stream, and customers of Molten Gold Shop throughout the Universe participate in the bidding.

This method seems very simple, but only the Molten Gold Association can implement it.

Because they possess the advanced technology to synchronize signals across the entire Universe, distances in the Universe era are measured in light-years.

This poses an unimaginable challenge to signal transmission. In his previous life, it took Old Wang more than half an hour to send a single image back to Earth from Mars.

At a distance of several thousand light-years, if the broadcast were conducted at that signal propagation speed, by the time the images were transmitted back, everyone present would have long since died.

Of course, rapid transmission wasn't a rare technology in this era, but no one could match the quality of the Molten Gold Shop.

With live streaming across the entire Universe and an error margin of less than one second, they have pushed this technology to its limits, which is one of the reasons why the Molten Gold Shop has virtually no rivals.

This time, the Fairy City Molten Gold Shop has nothing to offer, so there are only customers and no auctioneers here.

After entering, Wang Qianduo followed the staff to his seat.

After scanning the room, he spotted a familiar face – it was Mark, the owner of the bottle he had met yesterday.

He also saw Wang Qianduo, but he didn't dare to come up and acknowledge him, after all, Wang Qianduo had been escorted here yesterday.

He also saw the apology from the Security Officer in charge, a high-ranking figure he couldn't reach.

He actually went so far as to publicly apologize to the entire city, and the video is still up there.

Mark also knew that he had indeed lost something, but what he lost was not as good as what he had gained.

Perhaps the one he lost was special, or perhaps it was better.

But Mark was just a Normal businessman, and he couldn't afford to offend such a big shot. The other party had already compensated him with such valuable gifts, so he simply pretended not to recognize him.

The other NPCs also quietly moved a little further away from Wang Qianduo; they didn't want to offend this big shot for no reason.

There's a saying that goes, "When you're admiring the scenery on the bridge, the people below are watching you."

While Old Wang was observing Mark, several other people were also observing him.

"Is that the Thousand King?"

"That's right, it's him!"

"He found this place too? And where's the NPC who brought him in?"

"He even used an NPC to guide him, but the other person obviously came in on their own. And didn't you see how those NPCs were looking at him with a hint of avoidance?"

"I've heard the President and others say the same thing; he's really awesome!"

"You think you're better than us?"

"I wonder if there's any chance I'll get a chance to mess with him?"

The three Player who were secretly gossiping about Old Wang were there to do a quest with an NPC, or rather, to act as his bodyguards.

Player who entered the game early are already level 30, which is considered elite among NPCs, so they are perfectly capable of serving as bodyguards.

"Revered friends from all corners of the Universe, good evening! Welcome to the 175th copper price auction of the year at the Immortal Molten Gold Shop. I am your old friend, Jimmy!"

As the three were discussing Old Wang, the live stream suddenly started, and the host's voice startled them.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the live stream, and no one noticed them, otherwise the employer would have definitely docked their pay.

"Alright, without further ado, let's welcome our first auction item, 'Rainy Night Street,' a work by contemporary master Bao Zhigang."

After the host finished speaking, he switched the camera to a breakout room, where another host in a suit and tie began to introduce the painting to the audience and gave a starting bid of 10,000 Gold Crystal.

The painting received a fairly enthusiastic response; the artist was probably a famous painter.

The painting was eventually sold for 25,000 Gold Crystal, making it a successful start to the auction.

Items were then put up for auction one by one, and the auction proceeded at a very fast pace.

These items include not only antiques and paintings, but also high-value items such as real estate, property, and luxury goods, and even Mecha, spaceships, and equipment that can be considered weapons.

The auctioneer's descriptions of each item were eye-opening for Wang Qianduo.

"Looks like I'll have to come here more often in the future!"
