The merman was trembling with anger, but because of the seashell's movement and the mask's mental barrier, it had no idea who was bidding against it.

It's only an S-class vehicle, so it needs another bodyguard for its safety.

Now that there's finally a cheap S-class sea monster that it can afford, it can't even imagine that a deep-sea creature would suddenly appear and block its way.

But an auction is an auction. Even if the murloc is furious, it can only be angry at itself if someone else offers a higher price.

The sea ghost that received it watched from the sidelines, anticipating the fishman's next offer. Unfortunately, it didn't offer a new price for a long time.

The merman's sea ghost receptionist guessed that it was probably forced to give up.

This kind of thing is very common at auctions.

Although it was a little disappointed, it didn't discriminate.

"6000 at a time!"

The Sea Ghost Auctioneer's spiritual power permeated the entire space.

"6000 in two attempts!"

The auctioneer's voice was deep and powerful, as if urging interested parties to act quickly.

"6,000 coins in three runs! Sold!"

The auctioneer's gavel fell heavily, and everything was settled.

Throughout the entire space, apart from the sea ghost who received Gu Xi, no other deep-sea creature knew that the mermaid sea beast had been photographed by Gu Xi.

Gu Xi was in a great mood after successfully photographing the mermaid.

Although the price was a bit higher than she expected, she felt it was worth the money to gain an additional S-class combatant and labor force.

After the mermaid, the items on stage became materials and decorations. She wouldn't buy decorations, and she didn't have the materials she needed, so she wasn't interested.

Seeing her utterly bored, the sea ghost receptionist asked out of curiosity, "Super, incredibly, and unparalleled VIP, you actually spent so much money to buy this fish?"

Gu Xi tilted her head. "Isn't it worth it?"

Whether it's worth it or not, the Sea Ghost receptionist can't judge, but it can tell her what it knows to win the guest's favor.

"In the high-level auction, the minimum starting bid is 5,000 gold coins, and this sea beast is so small..."

Sea creatures judge spiritual power by their size, with larger sizes representing stronger spiritual power. Although there are differences in species, no one who sees the mermaid below looks like they have S-class spiritual power.

It's important to know that S-class sea monsters don't yet possess the ability to change size or control their body shape. Apart from gifted individuals like the octopus, other sea monsters only acquire this ability at the SS-class level.

Therefore, S-class sea monsters are usually not very good because they are so small.

Gu Xi understood what the Sea Ghost Receptionist meant; it probably thought the mermaid below wasn't worth 6,000 gold coins.

Everyone has different standards of judgment, and she respected the opinions of all the deep-sea creatures. But there was one thing she was curious about, so she looked at the sea ghost receptionist and asked, "Does everyone like big ones?"

The Sea Ghost receptionist, her eyes sparkling, explained, "That's right, because most deep-sea creatures are much smaller than sea monsters. Once you buy a large sea monster, it can stay on its body indefinitely."

For some reason, Gu Xi thought of the giant sea monster, the Turtle. She suddenly felt that although it was an SSS-level deep-sea creature, the fact that a whole group of fish-men could live on it was a huge injustice.

Gu Xi mentally scoffed for a moment, then replied nonchalantly, "I just like small ones; my ship can't accommodate the giant sea monsters."

The Sea Ghost receptionist became immediately interested when she heard that she even had a boat.

"Super, invincible, and unparalleled honored guest, you actually have a ship?!" Its body began to glow red and emit heart-shaped bubbles.
