Chapter 2088 - 2081: I Already Had This Thing
Zhang Menglong’s words left everyone stunned for a while; they couldn’t figure out what this advertisement slot meant.
But moments later, they all suddenly understood. Every successful bidding race has a chance to express their thoughts. This opportunity is what Zhang Menglong referred to as the "advertisement slot."
Then, relating it to his statement "there aren’t many, only 56 times," doesn’t that correspond to the number of auction items that will appear later at the auction? Does he intend to take all the auction items in hand?
Understanding this meaning, everyone became agitated instantly.
Not to mention whether the Humans truly have such financial power, if they do, then this would be too terrifying.
A single item might have the potential to change the future of a race or even several races. If all 57 auction items fall into the hands of Humans, wouldn’t they be directly invincible? Who could be their match?
They recalled the featured auction item from the last auction and felt a strong chill all over their bodies.
It’s been called a pattern weapon, created by a race once in this world. Their combat power is average, but they are arguably the smartest race. They analyzed the most fundamental aspects of this world through its rules!
They made it into a map. By performing any action on this map, one can change everything in this world.
For example, if they destroy a piece of land on this map, then the entire area corresponding to that land will collapse and disintegrate instantly, ceasing to exist.
Races living in that area, Warcraft, Guardian Beasts, rule characters, will all be wiped out in an instant!
Of course, such a powerful thing naturally has limitations. This pattern weapon can destroy the regions of up to 50 races at most, and if their actions are foreseen in advance, even if the other party evacuates, it can’t threaten them.
Nevertheless, it’s definitely an extremely terrifying thing, unless using those Instant Teleportation Scrolls, otherwise, it’s impossible to escape such an attack. This thing can almost be described as striking where pointed.
It’s said that item was auctioned at a price of 5.6 billion Supreme Crystals, acquired by the now top-ranking race, Divine Primordial Civilization!
Though no one knows for the time being what the ultimate featured item of this auction will be, it certainly won’t be inferior to that map; that item is something every peak First-class civilization must fight over.
"Hmph, bragging without fearing a slip of the tongue, with so many peak races here, when does it come to a Fourth-class civilization to throw its weight around?"
"Hahaha, you’re right. With some stroke of dumb luck, they managed to gather a large sum of Supreme Crystals and seem to believe just by this, they can compete with us top races; such thinking is truly childish."
"If our intel isn’t wrong, the 10th-ranked race Yege Tribe has prepared funds exceeding 5 billion Supreme Crystals this time?"
"Hahaha, indeed, of all races, theirs is the strongest intelligence network, even our information couldn’t evade your net." The Yege Tribe didn’t seem irate despite having some of their information leaked, 5 billion is just their publicly prepared funds.
Coupled with some hidden assets, their total funds prepared this time should exceed 8 billion Supreme Crystals, perhaps this intel has also been gathered by Yege Civilization, but they’re not brainless, exposing others’ secrets here is not a friendly act.
But even just this number is enough for most races to gasp coldly, for those Third-class, Fourth-class, and even Fifth-class races, this number is practically astronomical.
"Hiss, 5 billion Supreme Crystals, this kind of foundation is indeed beyond comparison for our small civilizations."
"This Human race is practically slapping their own face with such bragging. If they run out of Supreme Crystals soon, I wonder how they’ll step down."
"It’s not that they can’t compete, they just don’t want to be fools. while a Beast Slaying Blade is a nice item, spending more than its worth in bidding is rather foolish; Humans’ nouveau riche behavior might indeed seem laughable."
...
Everywhere was disdain for Humans, but Zhang Menglong was even more disdainful of their evaluation.
Look down on Humans, do you?
Soon, I’ll let you experience what true agony is.
"Thanks for the Human race’s speech," Zero offered a brief summary, "Humans are the most unique race I’ve seen so far, hope you continue to bring us new surprises."
The second auction item appeared in the projection, and when its shape was revealed, many race Adventurers began breathing heavily.
"Fjord Siege Cannon!" Dominic beside Zhang Menglong shouted the name of the item.
The Fjord Siege Cannon’s design is incredibly cool, even resembling a small spaceship. It doesn’t require ammunition to fire, but directly absorbs the everywhere-present Energy in the air.
Its power even surpasses the Super Divine Cannon!
Each city’s Main City defense ability relates to the race’s level and the quantity of Main City Crystal. The Super Divine Cannon can almost shatter the defense of a Ninth-class race’s Main City with one shot.
Even against an Eighth-class race’s Main City, a couple more shots can basically break it.
Although it can’t kill Guardian Beasts, it can injure First Grade ones.
As for this Fjord Siege Cannon, it’s virtually an upgraded version of the Super Divine Cannon; it can easily shatter the Main City defense of a Third-class race, and perhaps even some Second-class races’ Main Cities can’t withstand such attacks.
As for the damage to Guardian Beasts, being hit directly can instantly kill one First Grade Guardian Beast, and some unfortunate Second Grade Guardian Beasts might also fall under the Fjord Siege Cannon.
This Fjord Siege Cannon hasn’t appeared in several consecutive auctions, and to date, no one has obtained it through any other channel besides auctions.
Remember the last appearance of a Fjord Siege Cannon; although it wasn’t a featured auction item, it was auctioned among the final ten items, even sold at a final price of 570 million Supreme Crystals!
Such a precious item being presented as the second auction item now indicates that there must be even more valuable items than this Fjord Siege Cannon in this auction!
"This item must be secured!" Almost all the race Adventurers had this thought arise in their minds.
"This item doesn’t need much introduction," Zero said, "So far, only three Fjord Siege Cannons have been manufactured; the first was sold at a previous auction, this is the second, and the third, perhaps, lucky Adventurers might find it during a Beast Tide by defeating Warcraft."
"Hmm? Why does this thing look so familiar?" Zhang Menglong suddenly recalled something and searched in his space storage device, then took out a mini version of the Fjord Siege Cannon stored using space compression technology.
"Oh, turns out I already have this thing!"
