Some exclaimed, "What kind of auction is this? It's too absurd! The starting bid is actually three hundred billion Federal Coins. This is nothing short of robbery—it's more expensive than gold!"
He saw the details regarding the auction and realized that obtaining a single Demon Race prodigy would cost at least three hundred billion, and that was merely the starting price.
If the bidding actually began, the price would likely climb even higher; it was an astronomical sum.
"High, yes, but these are Demon Race prodigies with the potential to ascend to the rank of King."
"Spending a few hundred billion to buy a future Demon King is not a bad deal."
"Bullshit! Potential is just potential. There are plenty of demons who get stuck in bottlenecks and never break through. If they can't break through, is this kid going to give us a refund?"
"That's not how it works. If there were a hundred percent guarantee, would the starting price only be three hundred billion? It could be in the trillions. Since it's a trade, one must be prepared to take risks; it's no different from gambling."
"It's still too exaggerated. How many people can actually afford to gamble like that?"
"There are still plenty of wealthy people in this world. Those who can afford to gamble are not in the minority."
Many were shocked by the auction's contents, feeling that it was an auction of sky-high prices. The starting bid alone exceeded everyone's imagination—it was simply inconceivable.
The starting bid alone was likely enough to shut out ninety-nine point nine percent of the human population in the Cloud Sky Realm.
Yet, the more this was the case, the more interested the surrounding people became.
