Taking out a piece of Soul Crystal, Nash placed it inside the space compartment.
[Value: 0.000000001 Chaos Stones]
"Oh? A single Soul Crystal is only worth a trillionth of a Chaos Stone."
Only at this moment did Nash realize the true value of a Chaos Stone. To obtain a single Chaos Stone, he needed to exchange a trillion Soul Crystals. Converted to Void Source Crystals, that came out to 10 trillion. The problem was that no matter how many Void Source Crystals he had, they couldn’t be converted into a Chaos Stone.
"I can only be thankful that Soul Crystals are even accepted."
Trying different options, only rare tier 8 materials and treasures were eligible to be exchanged for Chaos Stones. No wonder those high-level teams were not even invited to this auction. Without the ability to unearth those rare materials, they couldn’t buy anything.
Deciding to obtain the mechanical origin heart, Nash exchanged a million Chaos Stones using Soul Crystals.
"Tsk, it seems I’m still poor." Nash realized again and again that money was never enough. He thought having a revenue of 100 quintillion each month was impressive, yet it couldn’t even buy anything. Fortunately, he had plenty of Soul Crystals.
"I bid 58,000 Chaos Stones."
"60,000 Chaos Stones..."
"61,000 Chaos Stones..."
"I bid 63,000 Chaos Stones."
Before long, the fierce bidding began to slow down. It wasn’t that everyone lacked Chaos Stones, but the price had simply reached a staggering scale.
Spending over 60,000 for a mechanical being to advance to a tier 8 being? Isn’t it better to nurture a few tier 8 powerhouses?
As for battleship piloting, territorial management, and virtual world administration, they could just get more mechanical lifeforms.
"It’s not as expensive as I thought." Joining the bidding war, Nash increased the price directly by 10,000. "75,000 Chaos Stones."
Surprised by the bid, they couldn’t help but glance toward the back. "Is that the Supreme Leader of the Neon Star Alliance? When did he get so many Chaos Stones?"
Although they knew that the Neon Star Alliance was comparable to a top-level cosmic team alliance, their foundation was still lacking. Bidding tens of thousands of Chaos Stones for a mechanical heart meant their wealth was greater than they had thought.
"Is there any higher bid?" Primos asked, looking around. After waiting for a few moments, he closed the bid and announced Nash the winner. "Let’s congratulate Nash Navre. I must also inform you that the team he leads, the Neon Star Alliance, has just joined the top level. Please give him a round of applause."
After a brief introduction, the others who didn’t know Nash gave their applause, taking note of this newly emerging team.
"Now for the next lot, I present to you this special X-class tier 8 battleship. I’m sure you all know what this is. The starting bid is 10,000. Let’s begin!"
"An X-class battleship? Haha, Lord Primos is truly generous. I’ll bid 13,000 Chaos Stones."
"15,000 Chaos Stones!"
"Such a battleship is quite good. 25,000 Chaos Stones."
"Tsk, don’t waste time. 50,000 Chaos Stones!"
"That’s fine. 70,000 Chaos Stones!"
Unlike the bidding earlier, where the price increased little by little, the bidding for the X-class tier 8 battleship increased rapidly. After all, unlike the previous mechanical heart, which couldn’t increase their strength, this one could at least ensure their safety when they were out.
An X-class battleship, besides not having an attack that could harm a tier 9 dark beast, possessed the specs of a tier 9 battleship! From defense, speed, and various auxiliary abilities, it was no worse than a planetary battleship. One could only wonder at the technological ability of the Mechanical Race to build such a creation that surpassed the rules of the wild void area.
Even Nash felt a little tempted to bid. However, thinking that he already had the Void Pulse, he stopped. "The Void Pulse was more than enough." Although it might only match the X-class in speed, Nash wouldn’t trade it for one.
Soon, with the fierce bidding, the price of the X-class battleship shot up to 254,000 Chaos Stones and was eventually won by a top-level cosmic team alliance from the Ancient Race.
"Those from the Ancient Race are truly rich."
"Rich and dumb, you say. How could one spend over 250,000 Chaos Stones for some battleship?"
It might have looked like everyone possessed enough wealth to topple the others, but most of them didn’t even have 100,000 Chaos Stones. In this regard, Nash, who had exchanged a million Chaos Stones, was far above the rest.
After the X-class battleship, Primos continued to sell off the rest of the technology, from large-scale defensive weapons, mobile artillery, and top-of-the-line virtual servers, to luxurious battleships, planetary terraforming machines, and all kinds of other things.
From the list, Nash bought two: a top-quality virtual server and a planetary terraforming machine. The former only cost 21,000 Chaos Stones, while the latter was even cheaper at 17,000 Chaos Stones, not even half the cost of the mechanical origin heart.
A top-quality virtual server could simulate more things using less energy, which could be used in conjunction with the Merit Source, processing more data with the same energy.
For the planetary terraforming machine, Nash bought it to accelerate the construction of the trading platform. It was a little embarrassing that they didn’t even have proper land for those foreign cosmic team alliances to settle.
"Thank you for everyone’s participation. For the next auctioneer, please let us welcome Samara, the supreme leader of the Universe Business Commerce Alliance."
With another heavyweight in the auction, the crowd continued to bid in fervor. Instead of technology, the focus of Samara’s auction was various legendary resources, from a Sun Star Void that could provide limitless energy to soul and void treasures that could increase one’s foundation.
Not seeing anything that he needed, Nash didn’t bid on a single item. Another reason was that he had limited funds.
If he exchanged all the Soul Crystals he had accumulated, it might only amount to 60-70 million. The problem was that, to keep the user of the universal runic system engaged, he could only withdraw 10%. Otherwise, the value of Soul Crystals would crash.
After Samara, the other major-level teams sent their representatives to auction off various treasures that were useless to them.
Seeing a few items he liked, Nash joined the bidding war and began spending money like water.
