Chapter 222 A tense and exciting auction
The auctioneer from the 003 neutral force behaved like a robot, very straightforward. He only waited for about a minute before starting the auction of the second item.
"The second lot in this auction is a high-level relic - the blade of the huntress Efilina. This item comes from the treasure of the hunter clan of the ancient civilization in the silver heart. It is said to be held by the 1954th generation matriarch of the hunter clan. This treasure was used to hunt down a giant starry beast.”
"Effect of the relic: With this treasure, all ships under your command will receive an additional +25% shield damage correction!"
After a pause, he slowly announced the price of the treasure:
"The starting price for this item is 200 billion cubic meters of refined steel. Each increase in price must not be less than 1 billion cubic meters of refined steel. Please bid now."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately offered 220 billion cubic meters.
The next second someone increased the price by 10 billion cubic meters.
Then another bid was placed, and the price rose rapidly, and the rate of increase was even higher than that of the previous Doomsday Light mother chip, and soon reached 400 billion cubic meters.
Li Qing was not in a hurry, watching with interest the bids made by the big guys from different races. Affected by the isolation materials of the rooms, he did not know who was in these rooms, or what race they were, but he was sure that they were inside. They are all big shots from all races. It may not be surprising to see a military leader or even the Star Sea Lord sitting in any room.
This treasure
Li Qing was a little interested, but not very interested. He set an expected price for himself, and he would not bid if it exceeded it.
Although the auction items here are all good things and he can use them all, he can't take them all by himself.
There are so many big guys from different races coming to this super auction that happens every five years. If you take all the photos by yourself, this will definitely make everyone unhappy.
Although auctions always go to the highest bidder, eating alone will definitely lead to dissatisfaction.
Moreover, if you eat alone and all the treasures are in one person, there is no guarantee that no one will have any thoughts.
Although this auction will ensure the personal safety of the guests, it is only within the 003 galaxy. It is not guaranteed when leaving the galaxy. The people present are all big guys. There may be some special means of tracking. He does not dare to take that risk. .
Therefore, Li Qing's idea is to only take a small part, only those few treasures that are extremely critical and urgently needed for him, and he can only give up the others and wait for the next auction.
Anyway, it’s held every five years.
The price of relics rose rapidly and reached 1.06 trillion cubic meters in about ten minutes, which exceeded his psychological bottom price of 700 billion cubic meters.
After waiting for about five minutes, a guest of unknown race in a certain room bid 1.25 trillion cubic meters of refined steel. No one bid again, and the final price was equivalent to 487 trillion star yuan.
Then comes the third lot, a set of mother chips for all weapon accessories below the flagship, excluding battleships, a complete set of fifth-generation technology.
Before the change, he would definitely have tried his best to win it, but it was a pity that he already had it and could only watch others bid.
Ten minutes later, it was taken over by an unknown customer at a price of 14,000 trillion cubic meters of refined steel.
Then came the fourth item, a total of 240 billion foreign civilizations, packaged and sold.
The auctioneer projected this race in front of everyone, displaying it 360 degrees and introducing its advantages.
This is a humanoid race, which should have evolved from some kind of bird. It has wings on its back and can fly on its own. It has a very high degree of evolution. The feathers on its body have basically fallen off, and the same is true for its face, except for its head and head. There are still small feathers on the back of the hair, and there is a cluster of large feathers like a crown on the top of the head, which looks very beautiful like an ornament.
The hands and feet have also evolved from the stiff fingers of birds into flexible hands and feet. Three fingers are extremely flexible and can control complex weapons or instruments.
It’s pretty good purely from an evolutionary perspective, but
Considering the situation of his territory, Li Qing finally gave up his plan to buy it.
We have already purchased 34 billion minotaur coolies and cannon fodder, and the territory itself already has about 37 billion Orbs, plus more than 20 billion Cyber humans, the population has exceeded 90 billion, which is already a lot.
Now the main race in the territory is already out of balance. With the addition of 240 billion alien races, the proportion of the main human race will further shrink.
In addition, the most important reason is that there is nothing outstanding about this birdman race.
In terms of combat effectiveness, it is not as good as the tauren.
Although it can fly, the advantage of flying in the interstellar era is far less important than in ancient times.
In terms of wisdom, both Orbs and humans can use it.
In terms of looks, not to mention humans, tauren are more pleasing to the eye than birdmen. They are just birdmen, not angels.
Therefore, Li Qing thought about it and gave up the purchase.
Not long after, it was the turn of the fifth lot, and Li Qing immediately cheered up.
"A box of ancient relics will be auctioned starting with 100 billion cubic meters of refined steel, and the price will be increased by no less than 1 billion cubic meters each time!"
"I want this!"
Li Qing directly offered a doubled price of 200 billion cubic meters, which immediately caused the windows of several rooms to fall down, and several blurry figures looked over.
Things like boxes are purely based on appearance. Although the guarantee of ancient relic-level boxes is generally not too bad, the possibility of getting the best quality is not high. Therefore, after someone else bids, he went straight to the price of 300 billion cubic meters. No one bids anymore.
The next one, a total of 10 million units of dark matter, has a starting price of 500 billion cubic meters.
Based on price comparison, one unit of dark matter is approximately equivalent to 20 million stars, which is indeed an ultra-rare resource.
Generally, military leaders cannot get this stuff. Generally, only advanced civilizations that have mastered high-level energy can collect it, or some ordinary sixth-level lords can also find ways to collect it in small quantities.
This thing is of no use to ordinary military leaders because they cannot use it. It is only useful to those star sea lords who try to study and master high-level dark matter energy, because many high-level energy-related research requires the consumption of dark matter.
This is quite useless for Li Qing. At this stage, he doesn't even have the military master's technology together, so there is no need to think about getting any dark matter.
Moreover, there is a high probability that the people competing for this thing on the scene are the Star Sea Lords or the top military leaders. How can he, a small lord, join in the fun.
So, he sat and watched them bid back and forth, rising steadily. The price soon exceeded one trillion cubic meters of refined steel, and it continued to rise.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the dust settled. A customer of an unknown race bid 1.6 trillion cubic meters of refined steel to win the 10 million units of dark matter.
"Next is the seventh auction item, an unknown star beast egg from ancient ruins, with a starting price of 1,000 billion cubic meters of refined steel."
"Next is the eighth lot, from., with a starting price of 800 billion cubic meters of refined steel."
"Next is the ninth lot, from. The starting price is 1.2 trillion cubic meters of refined steel."
It can be clearly seen that as you go further back, the value of the auction price becomes higher and higher, and the increase becomes more and more exaggerated.
Soon I saw that a certain auction item was a living planet. It turned out to be a Category III life planet. After transformation, its livability has been greatly improved, and it has been developed. It has a population of more than 8 billion and is located in the Yingxian Spiral. At the northernmost end of the arm, there is a powerful civilization territory called the Ferosa Commonwealth.
This civilization called the Ferosa Federation is located in the 11th Star Region of the Hercules Spiral Arm, the Tianzhu Star Region. Its territory covers the entire Tianzhu Star Region and accounts for half of the 12th Star Region Azuna Star Region. This living planet is located in the northern part of the Azsuna Star Domain, the Twelfth Star Domain.
Anyone who takes a picture of this living planet will also be qualified to join the Ferosa Federation and become a member of its noble senate.
When a civilization is suffixed with "union", it generally means that the civilization is composed of multiple species, not a single species.
For example, the Shatta Tribe Alliance was originally composed of eight civilizations.
The Bruvan Union is made up of more than a dozen different civilizations.
Well, except for the United Empire of Mankind, but while there are no other species, there is a coalition of warlords, large and small.
Moreover, the United Empire of Man belongs to the player civilization and cannot form a joint civilization with other civilizations.
The auction continued. One by one, extremely precious treasures were put up for auction. Li Qing was dazzled by the sight, but he did not bid on most of the items that were not very important. He kept a low profile to bid for the good things later. heat.
But there were too many good things, and even though he repeatedly said to hold back, he still couldn't help it when he took photos of some good things.
For example, the fifteenth lot is a 108-level super Rubik's Cube, called the Mysterious Rubik's Cube, which is spread among the various races in the Galaxy. It is said that if the secret of this Rubik's Cube can be solved, a person who once ruled in ancient times can be found. It became the mother star of the super civilization that dominated the entire galaxy and inherited all the legacy of that super civilization that dominated the entire galaxy.
According to the auctioneer, this thing appeared more than a million years ago and has had hundreds of owners, but no one has been able to unlock its secrets.
Normally, this thing is enough to be the finale, but the reason why it is not the finale is mainly because this thing is too old and no one has ever been able to unlock its secrets. In addition, the legend is just a legend and cannot be confirmed to be true, which leads to its value. Not sure.
If the legend is true, this thing is worth more than all the items in the entire auction combined.
But if the legend is false, it would be a lie.
The key is that no one has been able to unlock the secret for more than a million years. Its former owners were all Star Navy Lords or Star Sea Lords and other big figures. This has led to everyone placing a big question mark on the authenticity of this thing. .
The starting price was only 5 trillion cubic meters. After Li Qing repeatedly raised the price to 8,000 billion cubic meters of refined steel, no one raised the price, and he easily won.
"Damn it, who is this, so rich?"
Hundreds of people competed for a dozen or so lots, but he took four of them by himself. No matter how much he wanted to keep a low profile, he couldn't keep a low profile.
If it weren't for the fact that all the people who could participate in this super auction were big men from all races, including many Star Sea Lords, if it were a normal auction, a lot of people would have come to check Li Qing's identity.
The sixteenth lot is another high-level treasure.
The seventeenth lot is a special token that can communicate with an immortal being in the virtual world. Please ask him to take action three times.
The eighteenth lot includes a talent package consisting of 585 purple-named, 28 orange-named, and 2 gold-named alien geniuses, including scientists, naval commanders, army admirals, and administrative-related talents.
Li Qing gritted his teeth and endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back and paid the first-hand price.
There is no way, talents are rare, and the time span for those newborns in the super livable zone to grow up is too long, at least twenty years, so we can't wait that long.
The starting price of this thing was 5 trillion, but there were very few bidders. Only two people bid, and it was still 10 billion plus 10 billion. Li Qing bid 6 trillion, but no one bid again. It was a small leak. .
Everyone probably knew that he was rich, and his bid was very fierce, and he couldn't compete with it. In addition, this thing was only useful to new lords like him. Everyone present was a big boss, and there was basically no shortage of talents under his command. Only the two golden names and twenty Eight orange names have some value.
But it is a pity that among these two golden names, they do not have the naval commander they need most, so the value has been somewhat reduced.
In addition, these are all aliens, so the value has been somewhat reduced.
There is no need to question why a golden name is not valuable to these big guys. Generally speaking, even a scientist with such a golden name is valuable, especially a golden naval commander whose talent and skills are powerful. Its value will be higher.
The key is that they cannot guarantee the absolute loyalty of their men, and they are not like Li Qing who can be transformed into a servant of light to guarantee absolute loyalty.
For example, Commander Jin Ming's natural ability is so powerful. If he is allowed to command a huge army for a long time, such as one hundred or two hundred years, what will happen?
Human beings cannot marry these alien races. Not to mention the huge difference in appearance, reproductive isolation alone means that marriage cannot be used to ensure loyalty.
If loyalty cannot be guaranteed and precautions must be taken, who dares to safely place military power in their hands?
You must know that any rules are learned through bloody lessons. It is not that there have been rebellions in the past. Therefore, only small lords like Li Qing dare to use these foreign talents. The real military leaders are trained by themselves. Talent.
To be honest, if it were not for the two gold names and the twenty-eight orange names, this batch of talent packages would not be worth the price at all. It is entirely this group of high-end talents that has increased the value.
He only bought it because the two gold names could be converted into negative stars. If there were not two gold names, he would not bid at all.
Why did the batch of Hull people purchased from the Thunder Cloud Team also have two gold names? How much did it cost?
But from here we can see the importance of the platform. If the Thunder Cloud Team is qualified to participate in this super auction, the original wave will make a lot of money.
"Next is the nineteenth lot, a standard division-level fleet from a powerful civilization in the center of the galaxy, including two Titan super flagships, two super aircraft carriers, fifteen dreadnoughts, ten flagship aircraft carriers, and one Ten thousand battleships, 30,000 cruisers, 50,000 destroyers, 200,000 frigates, and 100,000 logistics ships.”
"The fleet has all level six technologies, but not dark matter or other higher energy. The starting price is 30 trillion cubic meters of refined steel."
"Oh!"
The starting price alone exceeds the sum of the top ten lots. (End of chapter)
