How Are You Going to Die?!
As time went by.
The auction began, and with it, Wonder, treasures, and more appeared, most of them being Advanced Wonder and treasures.
But it's also worth the lords scrambling to buy it.
After all, not everyone is like Su Ye. Wonder, as the saying goes, even Basic Wonder is a family heirloom for Normal Lord.
Only Su Ye didn't take Divine Artifact Rank Wonder seriously.
As time went by.
Now for today's main event.
Strange Crystal!!
"Hello everyone, I'm Linger, the host of this auction. I'm sure you've all been waiting impatiently. I don't need to elaborate on the ability of the Strange Crystal to evolve the Barracks. There are two in total, and the starting bid is one billion Divine Crystal!"
As Linger's voice faded away.
Various forces, including foreign ones, began bidding.
1.1 billion!
Two billion!
The Divine Crystal soared to 9.5 billion, until a voice rang out.
"My Gu Family will contribute 10 billion," a Pride male voice rang out.
Su Ye frowned. The Gu Family? This was the Gu Family Lin Xiaoxiao. Just what was their background?
The Auction House fell silent the next moment.
Su Ye narrowed his eyes. When people's livelihood is as important as killing their parents, Su Ye wasn't stupid. He naturally realized that no one was continuing to bid because the Gu Family had made a move, and everyone was wary of the Gu Family.
Who the hell would auction off something using their Families's name?
"Damn it!!" Su Ye's face immediately darkened.
For Su Ye, putting aside any potential risks, the two Strange Crystal alone, just considering their ability to upgrade the Barracks, should be worth more than the Faith Statue Blueprint.
The price of 10 billion for the Faith Statue Blueprint is understandable, after all, it's just a key.
However, the benefits of upgrading the Barracks with Strange Crystal are far greater than those of a single key; it provides a continuous supply of high-tier Troops, although there are potential risks.
Su Ye squinted at the scene, a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Damn it, these guys are really something," Su Ye muttered, his aura emanating from him terrifyingly suppressed.
The host, Linger, smiled but sighed inwardly. It could have fetched an astronomical price, but now it seemed impossible.
With Linger's hammer falling.
Two Strange Crystal were auctioned off to the Gu Family for 10 billion.
Su Ye sat in the chair with a slightly displeased expression, but he wouldn't stoop to the level of rudeness and take his anger out on the girl serving him. Yaya, watching this scene, breathed a sigh of relief. (Don't worry, it won't be toxic or frustrating. Read the next chapter, please don't criticize!!)
Soon, Su Ye left the Auction House with 9.5 billion Divine Crystal and returned to his villa.
"Damn it, the Gu Family, I'll see how you die." Su Ye narrowed his eyes. The Strange Crystal was problematic, and the Old Man had told him to take it out to sell, saying that someone would buy it.
That refers to the Gu Family.
It seems the imperial high command knew about it all along, but simply hadn't taken any action.
"I hope I can get a piece of the pie then." Su Ye couldn't help but think that he hoped he would have the power to tear off a piece of flesh when the Gu Family was in trouble.
Su Ye opened the private chat and found Lin Xiaoxiao.
[Otherworld Traveler: Little Boss, who is the Gu Family?]
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the message Su Ye sent, a slight smile on her lips. It seemed that the bastard had gotten his comeuppance.
[Little Merchant: The Gu Family is a behemoth, a top Families in Guang City, no weaker than the Long Family or Zhou Family. It's just that they don't have anyone at the top of the empire.]
[Otherworld Traveler: That's awesome?]
[Little Merchant: That's awesome! Looks like the Strange Crystal auction didn't go very well.]
[Otherworld Traveler: Yes, I thought the second generation would all be elite figures like you. I didn't expect there to be so many brain-dead people like you. Your behavior is so disgusting. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?]
[Little Merchant: You don't understand. The Gu Family has the means to be unscrupulous, and they have many connections abroad. There are plenty of people who are dissatisfied with them, but what can they do? The Gu Family still stands strong in Guang City.]
[Otherworld Traveler: I think they really want to die; doing this is bound to cause trouble sooner or later.]
[Little Merchant: That's hard to say. After all, it must have some foundation to stand strong for so long. Didn't you earn 10 billion Divine Crystal?]
[Otherworld Traveler: Doesn't the boss know that earning less is a loss?]
[Little Merchant: That's about enough. One hundred billion Divine Crystal isn't a small amount.]
[Otherworld Traveler: Alright, I'm outta here.]
Su Ye immediately closed the chat panel, sat down on the grass, and thought to himself that this was the biggest loss he had ever suffered in his life, costing him at least 20 billion Divine Crystal.
Rounding it up gives you 50 billion, rounding it up again gives you 100 billion, and rounding it up yet again gives you 1 trillion.
By this calculation, the Gu Family owes him one trillion Divine Crystal.
This debt needs to be carefully noted down; it cannot be forgotten.
"What's wrong with the God Emperor?" Lilith walked over and saw Su Ye's somewhat displeased expression. She hugged Su Ye and comforted him with heartache.
"Someone at Lilith made me lose a trillion Divine Crystal," Su Ye said with a hint of displeasure.
"Who is it?!" Lilith's eyes flashed with a deep red killing intent.
"We're not a match for them right now, let's talk about it later," Su Ye said softly.
Lilith looked at Su Ye, then nodded. "God Emperor God Emperor, please remember them. When we are strong enough, we will avenge you."
Su Ye nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Gu Family, how are you going to repay the one trillion Divine Crystal you owe me?" Su Ye licked his lips, noting it down in his little notebook. He would settle the score with them someday.
"Let's go, let's go to the banquet," Su Ye said to Lilith.
"Hmm." Lilith nodded, took Su Ye's hand, and began the banquet.
Bonfire burned in the Territory, and Su Ye watched with a smile as the Elf and Demon around him fed him fine wine and food, making him almost forget about returning home.
A gale-force wind of level 8 accompanied by continuous torrential rain overnight!!
the next day.
Su Ye didn't even open his eyes, but his body instinctively headed towards the Chaos Spring Eye.
Drinking large gulps of the Chaos Spring Water, Su Ye opened his eyes, stretched his body, and felt much better.
"Speaking of which, is the Faith Power still insufficient? Is it really that difficult to condense Divinity?" Su Ye looked at his body with some curiosity. His Origin Divine Body hadn't shown any signs of life yet; could it be a fake?
Shaking his head to clear away these chaotic thoughts, Su Ye checked today's Star of Blessing buff.
Undying Favor: Your Troops gain immunity to death!! Lasts for 24 hours.
"Hmm? This buff is not bad, but it's useless right now." Su Ye looked at the buff; it was outrageous, but it was useless to Su Ye in the current state. Otherwise, it would have been a godlike buff.
