Chapter 564: Can't I Form an Assassination Squad?
"Whoa! That expensive? What for?"
Hearing this starting price, Fang Jueyu was taken aback. Just now, a Fifth-level Controller was sold for only 2 million trillion Mora coins.
Judging from the auction's prices, the price for these Void Race slaves is likely to soar to 10 million trillion Mora coins. That's 4 million trillion Universe Coins. Have they gone mad? Even the ruler of a third-level civilization might not have that much money.
"Xiao Yi, show me the information on the Void Race. I want to know why they're so expensive!"
"Hehe, host, this price isn't that high! Although the Void Race isn't as rare as the Orville Clan, they are definitely considered a minority, and they're known as the most formidable assassins!"
"Space Talent? Void Walking?" Fang Jueyu looked at the information, and several game characters suddenly popped into his mind.
Space is a very mysterious thing. To date, humans have used Space Stone to create many space-related technologies.
Similarly, the concept exists among Martial Artists, too. Once a Martial Artist reaches the Controller Level, they can attempt to understand and interact with space.
Whether it's City Lord Qike of Moke City or that blue-robed Transcender, their emergence from the void is a use of Space Power. This requires profound comprehension of space, something that even takes thousands of years for a superficial understanding and application.
However, for most Martial Artists, using Space Power is simply for moving and traveling. Even most Transcenders are no exception.
But the Void Race is different. They have an inherent talent. From birth, they can perceive the existence of space, stealthily coming and going in the void, and even hiding there. This is something even Transcenders find difficult to achieve.
Relying on this talent, the Void Race is elusive. Hardly any targets they wish to ambush or assassinate can escape their silent attacks, earning their race the title of "strongest assassins."
But this is also why most civilizations have shunned them, leaving them exceptionally isolated.
One day, a Martial Artist discovered that the Void Race's blood could help them comprehend space! For this race, it was nearly an extinction-level disaster!
The resulting events need no imagination. Under the greed of human Martial Artists, the number of people from this race dwindled.
"Not bad, not bad!" Fang Jueyu nodded in satisfaction.
He had indeed purchased a batch of Divine Ability User slaves, but they were too ordinary, not as unique as those appearing in this auction.
These Void Race slaves could not only help him carry out special tasks but might also have uses in the future. As for using their blood for inhumane purposes, Fang Jueyu hadn't considered it.
"10 million trillion Mora coins!" Fang Jueyu directly submitted his price. With the bank's involvement, his Universe Coins could be directly exchanged for Mora coins, so there was no need to worry about insufficient currency.
On the central holographic screen, the bid from seat number one appeared for the first time.
"10 million trillion, a tenfold increase directly? As expected of someone who could get a VIP ticket."
"Must be a Transcender from some top civilization or family, or their representative, right?"
"Give them some respect, let them have the first one."
"This price is very high, no need to contest with them, let's focus on bidding for others!"
Unexpectedly, no one raised the price further, and Fang Jueyu smoothly bought the first Void Race slave.
"That easy?" Fang Jueyu found it somewhat unbelievable.
"What's so strange? Others either don't have enough money or are wary of your identity, not participating in bidding. They're giving you plenty of face," Natu said. "However, starting from the second one, they won't be so accommodating."
"I didn't ask them to yield," Fang Jueyu muttered. "I feel a bit embarrassed. I wanted to buy them all."
"What? Buy them all?" Natu shot up from his seat, "Brother, do you have a fever?"
Truthfully, although this price is high, it hasn't reached the limit. Selling all ten for 5 million trillion Universe Coins wouldn't be unreasonable.
Though Fang Jueyu had made tens of millions of Universe Coins on the Ghana Planet, it would only buy one at best. How much money does he actually have at his disposal?
So far, Natu hadn't seen a time when Fang Jueyu couldn't produce money.
"Brother Fang, how much money did you bring this time?" Natu asked.
"How much?" Fang Jueyu paused, "If I said I don't even know how much I brought, would you believe me?"
"I believe you!" Natu nodded through gritted teeth, "But even if you have that much money, this isn't wise. Look below, many are ready to bid, and you'll offend a lot of them doing this!"
"Is there a rule that one can only buy one?" Fang Jueyu retorted.
"Well... there isn't."
"Then so be it, it's an auction, highest bidder wins. If you want something, bid higher than others do. Who cares about offending people, would they not sell if afraid of offense?"
"But there's no need!" Natu continued to advise, "One Void Race slave is enough. Their regenerative ability and blood supply are ample for understanding Space Law."
"Hold on, who said I'm using their blood to cultivate Space Law?" Fang Jueyu interrupted Natu.
"Then why buy them?" Natu was certain others purchased these slaves to cultivate Space Law. Just a Divine Ability User, their martial prowess is useless to those Transcenders. It's their blood's uniqueness that makes Transcenders spend so much on them.
"Can't I want to form an assassination squad?"
...
"So the first Void Race slave goes to the buyer at seat one." The elder smiled slightly, as the price had met his expectations despite no bidding. "Now, let's start bidding for the second one!"
Moments later, on the auction screen, seat one's owner again topped the list with 10 million trillion Universe Coins.
"This one's appetite is big, wanting to buy two alone."
"Just let them have it, there are still eight more later, no need to offend such a figure."
"Give them face again!"
Many people's expressions were becoming uneasy, but still, no one raised a bid, and the atmosphere began to grow tense.
But when seat one's owner bid a third time, someone couldn't hold back.
"Twice without a bid is face enough. Do they think we're really afraid of them?"
"10.5 million trillion!" a Controller-level eighth-tier Martial Artist sent by a Transcender started raising the bid.
"11 million trillion!"
"12 million trillion!" The Transcender from seat 43 also joined the bidding.
...
"Looks like these slaves are quite in demand. But sorry about this." Fang Jueyu entered a new price again.
Seat one's bid jumped to the top from among dozens.
"20 million trillion? Is he crazy?"
"Who is this in seat one? Are they out to stir trouble intentionally?"
"Twice without a bid was enough face, do they want to buy all these slaves themselves?"
"Who do they think they are? Even the ruler of the Cosmic Nation wouldn't dare do such a thing with so many people here, would they?"
The scene instantly turned chaotic...
