Before long, all resources were tallied up.
"Hey buddy, co over to settle the paynt."
Ye Ming raised the bidding device in his hand with a cold expression. A ray of golden light shot forth from the player's tally device, sweeping across the surface of his bidding device with a "ding".
Instantly, the gears inside the bidding device automatically turned, and the equivalent resource value in Gold Coins was credited.
However, the numbers in the bidding device were essentially just value carriers.
The first-generation bidding devices were overly simplistic, and after careful study, players from other races could completely alter the displayed Gold Coin values.
Therefore, Ah Lan used a plug-in within the Gold Coin Chamber of Comrce group chat to keep records. Every ti a tally ended, the player would log this resource into the plug-in. Even if the external bidding device's numbers were modified, it would be useless; every transaction required the player to complete it.
Other races might be able to tamper with the bidding device's displayed numbers, but they could never touch the data information within the Gold Coin Chamber of Comrce's chat group.
Having received the Gold Coins, Ye Ming did not linger, but soared into the sky.
Before long, he reached above the auction venue, slowed down, and returned to his original seat.
At this mont, the bidding price for the Rule Fragnt had already reached 48 million Gold Coins, with 8 minutes remaining until the auction ended.
Seeing Ye Ming return, Ah Lan knew he was already well-prepared to continue bidding.
As a Demigod, traversing the Void with his physical body was a breeze.
The distance between Mist Conceal Island and Dream Island seed vast, but for a Divine Realm Powerhouse, as long as the spatial coordinates were precise, a round trip could be made in a short ti.
Sitting down, Ye Ming looked up and adjusted the bidding device in his hand.
The bidding device, which had previously jamd and couldn't turn further, began to turn again with the new charge.
[No. 313, Bid: 50 million Gold Coins.]
Just as this bid was made, another bid popped up the next second.
[No. 89, Bid: 52 million Gold Coins.]
This ti, Ye Ming did not get angry nor did he make any drastic moves; he rely adjusted the bidding device again.
[No. 313, Bid: 55 million Gold Coins.]
At this mont, the price had reached 5.5 million sacrificial power, and the players in the livestream were stunned.
The most pained at this mont were probably the players from the small team who previously listed the Rule Fragnt on the Trading House for 800,000 sacrificial power.
The concept of knowledge being wealth was sothing they were having a new understanding of right now.
Watching the livestream, their internal suffering increased as the price of the Rule Fragnt climbed.
In fact, before consigning the Rule Fragnt to the Trading House, the team's mbers had thoroughly researched its value.
At the ti, they felt that even the price of 800,000 sacrificial power was a bit high, and planned to gradually lower it if it didn't sell, but as soon as it was listed, another player snatched it up instantly.
At the ti, they believed that the buying player was probably a Gun rchant or Pharmacist, maybe a mber of a research guild.
They thought it would ultimately be used for research, but would eventually be offered to Emperor Zhao.
Little did they expect it to be sold at such a high price by the Gold Coin Chamber of Comrce.
Contrary to the feelings of the small team, was the Warband that provided the Rule Fragnt to the Gold Coin Chamber of Comrce.
The entire Warband consisted of 76 people.
While sweeping through an adventurer dungeon, they were very fortunate to have a Rule Fragnt drop. The first thing they did was research relevant information on forums, afterwards finding Ah Lan's post seeking to purchase Rule Fragnts.
Originally, they intended to sell the Rule Fragnt to the Gold Coin Chamber of Comrce for the price of 1 million sacrificial power.
But Ah Lan gave them two options in a private chat.
Firstly, the Gold Coin Chamber of Comrce spends 1.5 million sacrificial power to purchase the Rule Fragnt.
Secondly, the Gold Coin Chamber of Comrce handles the consignnt sale, taking only a 10% commission.
In the private chat, Ah Lan clearly explained that the value of the Rule Fragnts was far beyond 1.5 million sacrificial power, and the choice was up to them.
A normal player facing the huge sum of 1.5 million sacrificial power would undeniably choose the sacrificial power without hesitation.
This amount was more than just ga currency.
In the real world, it could even extend one's lifespan by traveling to the Moon Eclipse Clan, resolving all hidden health issues within the body.
But the leader of the Warband trusted Ah Lan greatly, having benefitted from the Gold Coin Chamber of Comrce's past welfare projects.
Thus, after consulting with the guild mbers, the Warband leader chose the second option: the consignnt model.
For more than half a month afterwards, there was no response from the Gold Coin Chamber of Comrce.
The mbers of the Warband complained during this ti about the delay, suggesting they just sell it for 1.5 million sacrificial power.
Yet the Warband leader insisted they wait a bit longer.
Now, the earlier wait transford into sheer ecstasy.
Every ti the numbers on the auction screen jumped, the resting Warband mbers in the adventurer dungeon would cheer together, each face beaming with smiles.
The thrilling final bidding was still ongoing.
At this mont, Ah Lan, watching the increasing Gold Coin numbers, appeared very calm.
Indeed, the value of the Rule Fragnts far exceeded a few million sacrificial power.
The only thing limiting the value of the Rule Fragnts was the current scale of the Gold Coin Chamber of Comrce.
If it could gather the Ascension Clan, Shuyan, Mingwu Clan, Reverse Tide Army, Soul Returning Clan, Ah Le, and even more potent forces to Dream Island for this auction, the price of the Rule Fragnts could still rise further.
Unfortunately, the Gold Coin Chamber of Comrce was ultimately just a budding platform, with too few buyers to connect with.
The resources available from the Mingwu Clan at the scene overwheld all, rendering other races powerless.
Ultimately, the final auction of the Rule Fragnt concluded with a price of 87 million, equaling 8.7 million sacrificial power.
"Congratulations, General Ye Ming," Ah Lan stood and warmly congratulated at this ti.
"I'll take the Rule Fragnt directly; no delivery required," Ye Ming stated in a deep voice.
This request was one Ah Lan completely understood.
The Demigod Realm Ye Ming could move freely in the Bright Star Sea Area; no one could stop him. It was he who could plunder other races, the races of the Bright Star Sea Area would not dare to take action against him.
However, Ah Lan did not directly agree, having a new idea in mind:
"General Ye Ming, you have always held a doubtful attitude towards my clan's abilities. Why don't we play a ga?"
"What kind of ga?" Ye Ming turned to directly face Ah Lan, the soul fire in his head flickering.
"The Rule Fragnt you just won in the auction will be delivered for free by our Gold Coin Chamber of Comrce. You can utilize any ans from the Mingwu Clan, including ambushes, tracking, or even take action personally... If we fail to deliver the Rule Fragnt to Mist Conceal Island within three days, the resources you spent in this auction will be fully refunded as a gesture of goodwill, and the Rule Fragnt will be a complintary gift."
"You are very confident."
"Confidence is built upon strength."
"Then let's give it a try." Ye Ming responded straightforwardly, then continued:
"I hope the strength of your Gold Coin Chamber of Comrce matches this confidence."
With that, he turned and transford into a black mist, flying to the sky above Dream Island, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
