Chapter 509 - 344: Ecological Natural Enemy
"Sure!"
Li Longyu was feeling idle just then. This auction was far too dull for her, so she thought helping with the bidding would be a good way to feel more involved.
While Dark Golden Quality Chaos Blind Boxes were rare, their value was limited, so there weren’t many bidders. In the end, Li Longyu won it for a price of 1,600 Star Yuan.
The auction house staff were extremely efficient. They quickly teleported the Dark Gold Blind Box over and collected the Star Yuan.
[Chaos Blind Box: Dark Golden Quality, Special Blind Box. Open for free and get a surprise!]
"This Dark Gold Blind Box’s information is so simple. Well, let’s see what kind of surprise I can get!"
Wang Yi opened the Dark Gold Blind Box on the spot. A flash of light appeared before his eyes, and a selection window with seven options materialized.
====
One: Surprise Lollipop (Dark Gold, Enhance +1)
Two: Love Destiny (Dark Gold, Enhance +2)
Three: Invincible Lucky Star (Dark Gold, Enhance +3)
Four: Mobile Travel Bed (Dark Gold, Enhance +4)
Five: Undying Oil Lamp (Dark Gold, Enhance +5)
Six: Top-Grade Chaos Egg (Dark Gold, Enhance +6)
Seven: Transforming Soap Box (Dark Gold, Enhance +7)
====
’What is all this stuff? A lollipop, a travel bed, a soap box? I’d better just pick the Chaos Egg...’
Wang Yi quickly made his decision, and soon, a Dark Golden Quality Chaos Egg appeared in his hand.
[Top-Grade Chaos Egg: Dark Golden Quality. Consumes 100 Chaos Energy to hatch a child with top-grade talent for you.]
Wang Yi saw the Top-Grade Chaos Egg’s Attribute Information and felt it was a bit like a nesting doll. He proceeded to hatch it, and with a flash of light, a little boy in a worn-out cloth robe appeared before him.
The little boy’s hair was a mess, his clothes were covered in patches, and his feet were bare. He looked just like a little beggar who had been wandering for a long time.
"Father! Mother! Third Sister! You finally found me!"
The little beggar immediately hugged Wang Yi’s leg and started bawling.
Wang Yi could now see his Attribute Information. His name was [Wang Shijiu], and his backstory was that he was Wang Yi’s long-lost son. He possessed a top-grade talent for Cultivation and had the potential to become a Great Emperor. However, he had not yet begun to cultivate and was just an ordinary human child for now.
As for his personality, it was somewhat peculiar. He liked to leave home, and the further he was from home, the more he missed it, and the more diligently he would cultivate. Conversely, if he stayed at home, he would become idle and lax, with no desire to cultivate.
’My son Shijiu has the potential of a Great Emperor, but he’s destined to wander and can’t stay at home. It seems I’ll have to find a way to send him out of the territory, to some Cultivation World, and have him join a sect?’
Wang Yi pulled Wang Shijiu up and examined him closely. Although his face was covered in dirt, it was clear that he was quite handsome, with exceptionally lively eyes.
"This is my son, Wang Shijiu. He has the potential to become a Great Emperor. Perhaps I should send him to the Mingyu Divine Country to become an apprentice and start on the path of Cultivation. That way, his top-grade Cultivation talent won’t go to waste..."
Wang Yi softly introduced his son to Li Longyu, his mind already set on sending him to the Mingyu Divine Country.
Li Longyu wore a strange expression. She had witnessed the entire process of Wang Yi hatching the Chaos Egg and felt that him gaining a son out of thin air like this was quite magical.
Hearing Wang Yi’s words, Wang Shijiu immediately latched onto the idea. He began pestering Wang Yi, asking where he was going to become an apprentice, a look of great anticipation on his face.
He had a lively personality and was also a chatterbox. He pestered Wang Yi with endless questions until Wang Yi, unable to stand it any longer, arranged for Zhao Mei, Liang Xiaoyu, and the others to explain the basics of Cultivation Professions to him.
And the auction continued.
The auction’s proceedings were long, not something an ordinary Mortal could endure. Before long, the second item Wang Yi had provided was put up for auction.
This item was the 366th lot: the [Super Dressing Table]. It was the result of enhancing a blue-quality dressing table nine times. Not only did it provide a vast array of makeup tools, but it also came with its own makeup effects. It was powerful, could be turned into a capsule for easy carrying, and was restricted to female Players.
To Wang Yi’s surprise, the [Super Dressing Table] actually sold for the high price of 320,000 Star Yuan!
The auction continued. When the 500th lot appeared, Wang Yi’s spirits lifted again.
The previous lots had mostly been items for Adventurer Players or general use, such as Reincarnation Scrolls. But this 500th lot was an item exclusively for Chaos Lords—and specifically for the Eco-School. It was called the [Eco-Enhancement Scroll] and could randomly enhance one ecological function of a territory.
Although the Eco-School was weak and few Chaos Lords followed this path, the [Eco-Enhancement Scroll] was considered a niche item. Despite this, it attracted a fair number of competitors. Wang Yi had Li Longyu bid, and rivals kept emerging. Ultimately, the scroll, which even the host Lady Yu had paid little attention to, sold for the astronomical price of 1.55 million Star Yuan.
Of course, the winner was Wang Yi.
Star Yuan were not Gold Coins. Their purchasing power was extremely high, and 1.55 million was considered a huge sum. The entire fortune of an average level 200 or 300 Starry Sky God wouldn’t even amount to that much. Yet, despite spending so many Star Yuan, Wang Yi remained completely unfazed.
’This is something I can’t miss now that I’ve come across it. It’s worth any amount of Star Yuan. Besides, I’m loaded. 1.55 million is nothing, just a drop in the bucket...’
Wang Yi comforted himself with these thoughts. As soon as the item was in his hands, he immediately tested its effect, and a system prompt sounded in his mind.
"Ding! You have used the Eco-Enhancement Scroll. The Eco-Elite, Spirit Rhinoceros Warrior, has been enhanced. Referencing existing models to select an enhancement path. Calculating..."
"Ding! Adopting an existing eco-option from an Eco Divine Country. Congratulations, your Eco-Elite, the Spirit Rhinoceros Warrior, has acquired the [Ecological Nemesis] attribute."
