Chapter 221 The Ultimate Miner
By the time Li Qing came out of the Palm Universe again, it was already the time when the super auction was about to begin, only one day away.
As soon as he came out, he immediately received six reminders, three from the official 003, and three from the human embassy. They started urging him two days ago, and he received three reminders in one day.
After Li Qing read the messages, he replied one to each, and soon there were responses from both parties, asking him to prepare for the super auction and giving him the venue location and seat location.
Li Qing simply packed up and set off with Cybertron, the Star Negator.
After leaving the room, we took the aircraft directly from the top floor of the hotel to one of the several super-tall buildings in this commercial center. On the road, we could see many luxury aircraft heading towards the target direction.
The aircraft automatically drove and queued up in front of the super high-rise building. It drove into the middle of this high-rise building that covers an area of hundreds of square kilometers and is thousands of stories high. It followed a passage into the center of the super high-rise building. You can see a passage in the middle of the building. The passage flew down.
The speed of the aircraft was not slow. In a short time, Li Qing estimated that it had descended to the bottom of this super building, and then entered deeper.
Obviously, this super auction venue is not on the surface, but deep underground.
One aircraft after another lined up and continued down the thick all-metal channel. Li Qing closed his eyes to rest, but Cybertron looked outside energetically, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
After a while, Li Qing suddenly opened his eyes and looked outside in confusion. This hollow passage with a diameter of hundreds of meters was surrounded by thick metal inner walls. Apart from some complex lines, nothing could be seen on it. On the advertising screen, he looked back at Cybertron, the Star Negator, and asked his doubts:
"Did you find something?"
Star Negator Cybertron was silent for a moment, nodded and said:
"I dare not say it now, but I do feel a very familiar place on this planet, as if"
He hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but was not sure yet.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally didn’t say it:
"I'm not sure yet."
Li Qing smiled and said:
"Then don't worry, we will attend the super auction later. You will have enough time to watch it by then. If there is not enough time, let's go around the planet after the auction is over."
Cybertron nodded but said nothing.
A minute and a half later, the passage that flew no matter how deep it flew finally reached the end and came to an intersection. The aircraft flew straight in one of the directions.
This time the passage was not too long, and it only took less than half a minute to fly to the end. After rushing out of the passage, I appeared in a huge underground world, which was still a very prosperous underground city, and it became more and more cyber-style like the world of Cybertron. .
And to Li Qing's surprise, compared to the architectural styles on the surface of the planet that incorporate a large number of alien architectural styles, there are also styles that are in line with human aesthetics. The human style of the buildings on the underground floor is more obvious.
"What does this intelligent robot called 003 have to do with humans?"
A small doubt arose in his mind, but no one could answer it for him.
With this trace of doubt, the aircraft came to a super-building in the underground world with its top supporting the sky and its bottom touching the ground, and dived into it.
This time there was no need to dig into the ground like before. The aircraft parked directly on a platform. The two people walked out of the aircraft and saw many aircraft stopped. A large number of waiters from different races immediately came forward to greet them on the other side of the platform. .
Li Qing was greeted by a delicate-looking young lady wearing a cyan dress. She stepped forward with a smile and saluted him and said:
"Welcome distinguished guests, please come with me."
Li Qing glanced at her in surprise and found that she was actually a human player.
He immediately asked curiously:
"Are there many human players like you here? Are you a native-born or an immigrant?"
The young lady immediately replied sweetly:
"I am not a local, but the department manager of Haichuan Trading Group in 003 Mechanical City Planet. I took the initiative to sign up to participate in the welcome service!"
"So that's it."
Li Qing nodded and followed the lady in the dress into the building. While walking, the lady in the dress once again explained to them some precautions for the super auction.
Unknowingly, the three of them arrived at the venue and saw at a glance individual locations in the huge venue.
The venue of this super auction is no different from a normal auction, and there are no private rooms. They are all open-air seats, but this seat is special.
Each seat is like a huge pillar, or wooden stake, about three meters in diameter. The top of the pillar is concave. Inside are carved rooms, which are covered with a transparent light screen to form independent rooms. space.
These thick pillars are of different heights and surround the central auction platform. The closer they are to the auction platform, the shorter they get, and the farther back they go.
From a distance, the auction house looks like countless metal pillars standing in a grand canyon, surrounding the largest wooden pile in the center.
From the outside, this thing looked weird, but when the young lady led him to their location, and after entering, the young lady taught him how to operate it a few times, he could see that the transparent light curtain on the top floor quickly transformed into The actual roof not only prevents sight from the outside, but also blocks psychic energy.
He tried to use his powerful psychic will to sense the outside. Although it could not be completely shielded, his will could not extend very far after passing through the light curtain and the surrounding metal walls.
"Good guy, what a luxury!"
There are many substances in the universe that can isolate spiritual energy and strong will, but they are all expensive. They are all ultra-rare substances that are not inferior to star diamonds in price. Some ultra-rare materials are even more expensive than star diamonds.
In just an auction, so many locations are filled with those structures, and the required psychic isolation material is probably one-third of the more than 30 million star diamonds that were fished out before.
Li Qing looked at the wall in front of him, his eyes flickering, and he resisted the idea of putting some things into the light casting furnace for analysis.
As people continued to enter, both humans and other alien races, seats were opened one by one. He saw the light curtain on the top of a seat transforming into other elements, which also blocked his sight.
The beautiful young lady in uniform did not leave. After letting them in, she stood at the door, seemingly ready to serve.
Li cleared the door, opened the auction's built-in network, and began to check what was being auctioned at the legendary super auction that was held every five years.
The light screen popped up, and the first page of the table of contents appeared in front of him.
After a rough scan, he was surprised to find that there were far fewer lots in the catalog than he had imagined.
He remembered the several auctions he had participated in before. Except for the finale, there were as few as 50 or 60 items, and as many as 70 or 80 regular items. But here, there were only 20 regular items, only four in the finale, and no The term "King of Finales", or the last of the four finales is the so-called King of Finales.
But just looking at the first lot, he knew why there were so few lots in this five-year super auction.
The first lot is the mother chip of the T-slot weapon Doomsday Light.
Li Qing touched his chin and immediately felt the excitement of this super auction.
Let’s look at the second auction item, a high-level relic—the Blade of Huntress Efilina, a silver blade that continuously emits circles of transparent fluctuations. The effect is that after equipped, all fleets under its command receive +25% energy shield damage. Correction.
It doesn't seem like the increase is much, but there is no upper equipment limit for things like relics, and the effect affects all fleets under your command, so there is no limit to the increase.
The third lot is a complete set of mother chips for all weapon accessories below the flagship. It does not include the mother chip for battleships. It is just the mother chip for weapons and various accessories. All of them are fifth-generation technology.
This left Li Qing speechless for a while. I didn't see it until after I finished the promotion.
The fourth auction item, a total of 240 billion foreign civilizations, was packaged and sold. Li Qing took a look at it. The introduction said that this was a third-level civilization that occupied hundreds of galaxies, had four life planets and a dozen modified planets. It was sold by other people. After the defeat of the more powerful civilization, all remaining species of the entire civilization were packaged and sold.
The advantage is that it was once a third-level civilization, and its concepts and knowledge keep up with the mainstream of the interstellar world. After buying it, it only needs a few adjustments to be put to use.
The disadvantage is that after all, it is a third-level civilization, and it has just been defeated, and its wildness has not disappeared. It is still thinking about restoring the country, so how to conquer it is a problem.
"I'm going to die, these are all good things!"
Li Qing looked down one by one and found that even the regular items in the auction were good things that he could put to immediate use. He felt like a bear falling into the bee kingdom, with sweet and cloying honey everywhere.
He felt that except for a very few overlapping items among the twenty lots, he could get all the others, and most of them were good things that could be put to immediate use.
"Nana, you came to the right place this time!"
But I regret a little bit why I didn't get more ores and convert them into refined steel, which would have given me greater certainty.
After reading to the end in one breath, Li Qing was about to look at the finale, but found that he couldn't check it. He knocked on the door and asked the young lady at the door:
“Why can’t I see this grand finale? Do I need permission?”
The young lady nodded and said:
"It is indeed related to permissions. This should be your first time participating so you cannot view it. You will be able to see one of the finales in advance when you next view. After that, you can view one more for every additional session you participate in, until you can view them all the fourth time. Finale.”
"Okay!"
There was nothing to say. Li Qing thanked him and returned. He didn't worry about the final lot. Anyway, he would know what it would be after the regular shooting was completed.
In fact, just the twenty regular auction items he saw now exceeded his expectations. They were all surprises. If he could grab more than five of these twenty regular auction items, it was already worth the price.
As for the four final pieces, to be honest, he didn't pay much attention. With his current capital, he didn't know if he could grab one.
It's best if you can grab one, but it doesn't matter if you can't. Anyway, this thing comes only once every five years, so wait until five years later.
The next step is to wait for other people participating in the auction to enter the venue one after another.
This venue only has a total of 500 places. Even such high admission requirements cannot stop those who want to attend. It is already full at this time.
Time passed, and at a certain moment, Li Qing suddenly felt his eyes light up. Through the transparent window in front, he could see a tall male human figure rising slowly from the central platform. When he rose to the platform, he bowed to the surrounding circle. , said in a magnetic voice:
"Welcome to 003 Mechanical City's super auction held every five years. I am the host Aurora."
Although he spoke in human language, everyone present could understand it because he was also a powerful psyker. Through the unique psychic resonance method of psykers, all species present could easily understand even if they did not understand human language. Listen clearly.
In the sea of stars, there is no such thing as a universal language, and the languages of different species are different.
If different civilizations want to communicate, they must either translate each other's language, find language experts to learn the other party's language, or use psychics to communicate.
The psychic resonance of psychics is the most common communication method in the universe, and can communicate regardless of civilization. ”
“There are a total of 20 regular lots in this auction, and four are the finale. Now let’s introduce the first lot.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a circular ray of light from the dome of the platform where the auctioneer was standing suddenly turned into a beam of light and fell. Silk lights rained down, and a chip made of crystal slowly emerged from the light beam.
"The first auction item is a T-slot doomsday weapon mother chip developed by a level four civilization. The starting price is 300 billion cubic meters of refined steel. Each increase in price will not be less than 1 billion cubic meters of refined steel. The auction begins now!"< br>
"Tsk!"
300 billion cubic meters of refined steel is worth about 117 trillion. The value of the first lot exceeded the entry threshold.
Li Qing couldn't help but clicked his tongue, looked around eagerly, entered a number on the bidder in front of him, uploaded it, and the auctioneer said immediately.
"Guest No. 155 bids 350 billion cubic meters of refined steel."
Change your words immediately in the next second:
"Guest No. 46 bids 360 billion cubic meters of refined steel."
"Guest No. 86 bids 370 billion cubic meters of refined steel."
"Guest No. 129 bids 400 billion cubic meters of refined steel."
The venue was extremely quiet, except for the auctioneer's clear, concise and powerful quotations, which everyone could hear clearly.
In just a short while, the price rose to 500 billion cubic meters of refined steel, which was 195 trillion star dollars in the currency of the United Empire of Mankind.
As with all auctions, bidding slows down when the price reaches a certain point.
But
Li Qing directly submitted a bid for 600 billion cubic meters of refined steel and immediately silenced everyone.
After a while, someone tried to bid 610 billion cubic meters. He directly filled in a 700 billion cubic meter, which immediately stunned the person.
Li Qing sat in the room with his legs crossed and looked outside with a smile on his face.
If it comes to money, he really can't compare to those big consortiums, but if it comes to mining, it's not his fault. No one in the entire United Human Empire can compare with him.
As an ultimate miner who can refining minerals at no cost, he really has nothing to fear from anyone.
Anyway, no matter who bids, he will directly increase the price by 100 billion cubic meters.
After adding up to 800 billion cubic meters in one breath, no one bid anymore. After three inquiries, the auctioneer did not delay and simply announced that he had bought the mother chip. (End of chapter)
