Currently, according to estimates, the materials Zhang Xiaoman is auctioning off this ti can yield over 700 million Star Coins.
According to the official exchange rate, one unit of Star Dust can be exchanged for 50 million Star Coins, and ten units equal 500 million.
Moreover, Zhang Xiaoman has been certified in strength, so if he sells items to the Dark Spirit Association, as a Control Level personnel, he will not have to pay any taxes, and his inco will be a pure 500 million.
However, selling through consignnt requires a 4% tax and a 3% auction fee.
But auctions can fetch higher prices, and in the end, his earnings surpassed the 500 million offered by the Dark Spirit Association at their standard acquisition price.
At the auction house, Virtual Spirit Yalei repeatedly advised Zhang Xiaoman to keep the Star Dust for the auction next month.
This way, after the auction house’s promotion, more people will certainly co to bid, and the price of this Star Dust will definitely be higher.
Yet Zhang Xiaoman thanked the other party for their kindness and had no plans to wait until next ti.
He is in dire need of money and wants to sell the Star Dust quickly in exchange for so Star Coins to replenish his wallet.
Only then can his purchasing plans on Skull Star proceed, as he needs to buy many materials, and money is indispensable.
Ultimately, the auction had to accept the seller’s request with so regret, setting the auction for two and a half hours later.
Zhang Xiaoman and Ziwei didn’t plan on lingering backstage long; they followed most Spiritual Wisdom Clan mbers’ habits by enjoying a hearty midday al and then wandered around the stores in the trading center, purchasing so scattered materials, and waited for the auction to start.
Seeing over ten million Star Coins left in his wallet, Zhang Xiaoman beca more interested in the auction.
He now considered himself wealthy; fifteen million Star Coins may not be as valuable as a unit of Star Dust, but it certainly isn’t a small sum, as many ordinary people might not earn that much in their lifeti.
Zhang Xiaoman planned to see what good items this auction would offer.
If possible, he intended to buy materials of Second Level or higher since he had unlocked a new avenue for earning, making Star Coins easier to obtain for him.
Acatus and Hillna had returned by now, using their resources to buy themselves so equipnt, thereby increasing their combat power.
Acatus bought a two-ter-long blue Giant Sword.
The weapon was crafted from the beast teeth of Second Level Frost Giant, naturally exuding a cold aura.
As an undead standing next to it, Acatus felt a closeness and comfort with it, and its size and strength suited him well.
Hillna purchased a purple cloak, also made from Second Level materials.
Made from the skin of the multicolored beast, it not only had the function of accelerating flight but also provided the user with powerful Mimicry Protection Ability, enhancing concealnt.
Since both Acatus and Hillna had Ard Rings, they were not desperate for other protective equipnt and did not make additional purchases.
Seeing them nearly spend all their money on just two pieces of equipnt, Zhang Xiaoman was amazed at the expense of this world’s Dark Spiritual Artifacts, where items made from Second Level materials could cost millions.
But now, Zhang Xiaoman was a different person from three hours ago, transford into a wealthy individual with wealth unimaginable to others.
He decided that if he ca across suitable equipnt, he would buy it as a gift for Acatus and Hillna.
These two are his top fighters at the mont, and equipping them well is vital.
The four of them used the VIP card Zhang Xiaoman obtained to enter the private room within the Star Realm Traveler auction house, comfortably settling in.
While participation in this auction could be done online through personal terminals,
attending in person allowed for a closer experience of the Dark Spirit Waves emitted by the auction items and even permitted firsthand sensation on stage to assess compatibility.
The private room where Zhang Xiaoman was seated wasn’t the closest to the stage and only of average level, with more luxurious places ahead.
The entire auction hall was much larger than those seen on TV on Water Blue Star, over 60,000 square ters, equivalent to the size of a standard stadium.
Contrary to expectations, there was no giant holographic projection on the central stage to display the auction; Zhang Xiaoman was unsure how they accomplished it, but focusing on the stage enabled him to feel as though his perspective had been instantly moved to the stage’s edge, clearly viewing the events there as if teleported.
This was similar to his experience watching the seascape from his hotel yesterday; he speculated it must employ an unknown technology to create such an imrsive effect.
Outside the central stage were circles of seats.
Buyers sat here to bid, and if they found suitable equipnt or materials, they could apply to go on stage to experience them closely.
This close-up experience confird if the item t their needs, an advantage unmatched by online purchasing.
However, not everyone could apply to go on stage to experience; only those with at least one bid on an item could do so.
Otherwise, if every participant went up to experience every auction, it would be endless.
"Ji Xing, have you seen this auction’s highlight item? It seems there’s a very good combat skill, a ’Perfect-level’ Magic Technique, but unfortunately, the auction has temporarily hidden the item’s information, and we’ll have to wait until it’s formally presented to learn about it."
Inside the private room, Ziwei spoke while browsing her personal terminal.
Projected on her screen was a series of auction items, with so information temporarily hidden at the seller’s request, only revealing their category but not specific content.
"Perfect-level combat skill?"
Upon hearing Ziwei, Zhang Xiaoman instantly grew interested.
His attention had been on the nearby venue, leaving him no ti to check what items were on offer this ti, missing this information entirely.
"Yes, a Perfect-level combat skill, Ji Xing, are you interested in acquiring it? This Magic Technique should significantly boost combat strength."
Ziwei’s words greatly tempted Zhang Xiaoman.
He understood that, for a Dark Spirit, besides their attributes, Dark Spirit Techniques were the most crucial, even more so than external boosts from equipnt.
After all, Dark Spiritual Power possesses no Killing Power by itself; only when combined with the corresponding Magic Technique can a Dark Spirit’s rightful strength be unleashed.
"Perfect-level... that should be considered a very precious Magic Technique. They are usually only available at the official halls of the Dark Spirit Association, yet it appears in an auction on such a fringe planet."
Zhang Xiaoman was quite surprised.
"But even if I sell all that Star Dust, I’m afraid I might not have enough Star Coins to buy this Perfect-level combat skill... if possible, I may need to sell more Star Dust..."
He pondered privately.
However, there was no rush as yet, for the combat skill had to appear formally before any decision could be made.
Not all Perfect-level Magic Techniques are necessarily worth purchasing; finding the one that suits him best is essential.
