The auction hall erupted into a frenzy, like boiling water.

Originally, everyone wanted to team up and mess with Shen Hui, but they didn't expect him to have enough points.

Wouldn't that be equivalent to giving away a Star Core for the other party at the price of 150,000 points?

This price is even lower than the 170,000 they bid for in their first auction!

Immediately, those forces that had already bid for the Star Core, especially those that paid high prices, were in a frenzy.

I immediately felt unbalanced.

Those forces that failed to win the bid for the Star Core Star Core missed out on an opportunity to obtain it.

They were all furious, because these were powerful underground forces from various regions.

To my surprise, I was tricked by this person right here.

"Good, good, good lad, you actually think you can mess with us? I think you've really had enough of living!"

Shen Hui feigned innocence and said, "I gave you a chance, but you were useless. I already said if you wanted it, you had to offer a higher price. Didn't you just give it to me... Haha!"

In the end, Shen Hui couldn't help but laugh out loud twice.

But to the others, Shen Hui's laughter sounded like the biggest mockery.

Someone seemed to realize something and spoke up, "Hmph, so what if you win the bid for this Star Core? You have the points to bid, but do you even have the life to take it?"

Upon hearing this, most of the people present, including those sitting near Shen Hui, were shocked.

Their eyes revealed a greedy look.

They are not good people.

If they can buy it for free, that's naturally their first choice.

Otherwise, if it weren't for the presence of big shots at the auction, everything here would have been snatched up long ago.

But they didn't know Shen Hui's identity.

Just by sitting on the first floor, one can roughly determine that they are not people of any great power.

Upon hearing this, the smile beneath Shen Hui's mask instantly transformed into a chilling expression.

Even their tone of voice was like ice in October, freezing cold.

"Oh? Why don't you give it a try? The Purple Maple Organization, right?"

Shen Hui raised his head and looked towards the place where those words had been spoken; it was the organization called Purple Maple.

The atmosphere at the scene froze instantly, and Qingying, who was hosting the auction, immediately spoke up:

"Dear guests, we are now in the midst of an auction, so please follow the auction rules."

"There are some things that everyone should be mindful of, and some things that should be said."

"The auction for the seventh Star Core will now begin."

A new round of bidding has begun. Now that Shen Hui has obtained the crystal core, he can calmly watch the show.

As for the other organizations that planned to auction off the Star Core, they stopped caring so much after Shen Hui's actions.

They all started bidding like crazy, trying to secure a single crystal core first.

The seventh item was quickly auctioned off for 220,000 points.

Next is the eighth and final one, but no one except Shen Hui knows about it.

The eighth item was auctioned off for 230,000 points.

Just as everyone was anticipating the ninth one, Qingying spoke up:

"Distinguished guests, all the Star Core have been auctioned off. Thank you for attending this auction. The auction is now concluded."

Upon hearing that the auction had ended, people on the first floor began to stand up and shout:

"It's finally over. Although I didn't buy anything, today's auction was still quite exciting."

"Haha, same feeling, I'm leaving."

Of the eight Star Core, Shen Hui acquired one in his personal capacity, while the other seven were won by various powerful organizations.

However, compared to the number of organizations present, it was not many.

Qingying knew that many forces would have complaints, so she immediately smiled and said:

"Don't worry if you didn't manage to bid on the Star Core; the passage to the Chaos Forbidden Domain will be opened soon."

"If we could enter, the rewards would undoubtedly be far greater, including Star Core possessing blank wills."

Upon hearing Qingying's words, many people recalled that there was indeed such a thing, which Fan Hao, the president of the World Association, had mentioned before.

However, there are definitely limited spots available to go to the Chaos Forbidden Domain.

I don't know how the spots will be allocated in the end.

The only thing that's certain now is that Shen Hui was given a spot by Fan Hao in advance.

Everyone began to stand up and disperse, and many of them had their greedy eyes fixed on Shen Hui.

The Holy Son of the Giant God Cult glanced at Shen Hui and whispered to the High Priest beside him:

"High Priest, do you think we should try to steal his Star Core?"

The High Priest brought the Holy Son to this auction purely to broaden the Holy Son's horizons and to familiarize him with the various organizations.

Even when the Holy Son deliberately inflated the price of the Zerg Queen's Eggs, it was merely an imitation of Shen Hui's previous behavior of inflating the price of the Beast Taming Eggs, something he thought was fun, and it wasn't an item they had commissioned for auction.

Now that the best item in this auction has been taken by someone, the Holy Son naturally harbored evil intentions.

But the high priest shook his head. "Don't act rashly outside. Besides, the World Association's Sharp Sword Organization, which came here, hasn't left yet. Don't make any rash moves."

The others were all ambitious but lacked the courage. With a powerful figure overseeing things on the All Things Auction's territory, they didn't dare to do anything.

Shen Hui, undeterred, went backstage at the auction and obtained his own Star Core.

It emits a pure and soft white light, and holding it in your hand gives you a sense of security.

Shen Hui placed the item directly into the Death World, not yet figuring out how to use it; he'd figure it out after leaving this place.

Shen Hui still had some points left, which he returned to the All Things Auction House in exchange for some Creation World Basic Cards.

Although the value of these points certainly far exceeds that of these basic cards.

But that's how auction houses make their money, so Shen Hui didn't care; as long as he got the Star Core, that was enough.

As I walked out of the exchange room, there were still powerful figures at the door.

Upon seeing Shen Hui, he quickly said, "Brother, could you sell us this Star Core privately? Our organization will definitely give you a satisfactory price!"

"Sell it to us! Our organization can give you a better price. Just name your price, and we guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Are there any organizations that have photographed the Star Core and are planning to buy it privately from Shen Hui?

"If you want to buy it, you should ask them. I'm not selling this one."

Shen Hui pointed to the large organizations that had bought the Star Core, and then squeezed out of the crowd surrounding him.

Following the crowd, Shen Hui began to walk outside, intending to return to the Sea of Stars on his own, without rejoining the Night Organization.

But just as Shen Hui reached the main gate, he discovered that none of the people who had left earlier had actually left.

Instead, they gathered here, making a lot of noise, as if something had happened.

Shen Hui squeezed forward to see what had happened.

Before I could even squeeze through, I heard a familiar voice.

"I, Qin Ying, am here not to prevent you from leaving, but because I hope you can work together to investigate Giant God Cult among you!"
