Ocean Survival: Survival at Sea? Cultivation at Sea!

On April 24, 2042, everyone on Blue Star was suddenly teleported to an unknown place.

Everyone was horrified to find themselves on a single raft in the boundless ocean. Suddenly, an ethereal ...

Chapter 400 The Inside Story~

A flash of black light appeared on the auction stage, and a glossy black preserved egg came into view.

Black General first glanced at the chaotic guests below, then looked at Lilysa and asked with a frown.

Black General: "Lilisa, what happened? Why are you so flustered?"

When Lilysa saw Black General appear, she quickly composed herself and reported to him the strange situation that had just occurred at the auction: "Black General, you've come at the right time! During the bidding for the last item—the essence blood of the Creator God—the system suddenly showed that the winning bid was 200,000 Origin Gold Coins, which is far from the starting bid of 2 million. We suspect that something is wrong."

She continued nervously, “I just sealed off the entrances and exits and suspended all transactions. This drop of the Creator God’s essence is of extraordinary significance to the entire advanced sea area. If it is sold at such a low price now, it will probably cause great chaos and disputes.”

Commander Hei frowned, his sharp gaze sweeping across the room. He responded in a deep voice, "Everyone, remain calm. We will definitely find out the truth. The black market will not tolerate any behavior that disrupts order. Whether it's a system malfunction or deliberate sabotage, we will punish such behavior severely!"

After saying that, Black General opened the black market transaction records for today, then scrolled to the bottom to see what the problem was.

Only the black market administrator can access the black market records, and Black Master is the ultimate administrator of the black market, meaning he can view any information.

In contrast, auctioneers like Lilisa do not have such authority. They can only view the final prices of the items they auction that day and extract a corresponding commission. Essentially, they are staff members who execute transactions and have extremely limited actual power.

Blackie quickly figured out what the problem was.

[System Transaction Log: Ding! Chen Ping has initiated a forced purchase/sale of item cards, selecting forced purchase!]

[System Transaction Log: Ding, forced purchase initiated, successful transaction of Creator God's Essence Blood, 200,000 Origin Gold Coins!]

(⊙o⊙)…

Black General pondered to himself, touched his dark skin, and then clicked on the details of the "Forced Buying and Selling" card.

This card is a unique rule-based item that can only be obtained during the early stages of the game. It has a very special and risky effect. Once successfully activated, the transaction will be enforced, and the seller or buyer must accept the transaction regardless of the circumstances.

However, the consequences of such coercion are unpredictable, as the coerced party is very likely to provoke fierce resistance due to dissatisfaction, and may even provoke real-world retaliation. It is a double-edged sword for users, and if not used properly, it may backfire.

Black General was surprised that Chen Ping had such a prop; impressive.

Most importantly, the forced purchase and sale of these item cards is completely in accordance with the rules. It's just that problems may arise afterward, but as long as Black Boss doesn't pursue the matter, nothing else will happen.

......

Black General glanced at Lilysa beside him, having already decided not to pursue the matter. After all, it was an item from the system, and the price was just right at the minimum. If it were less than ten times the price, he would have had no choice but to make a move. Fortunately, it was a good deal.

At the same time, Black General thought quite calmly, "It's just a little bit of the essence blood of the Creator God. It's not a crucial resource. You know, at worst, we can capture a Creator God and extract enough essence blood from it. It's not difficult."

After considering this for a moment, Black General turned directly to Lilysa and said, "I have investigated the situation. There are no abnormalities in the transaction records, nor any violations. Everything was strictly in accordance with the rules. Now, you are responsible for announcing the end of today's auction."

After he finished speaking, a black light flashed, and Black Commander disappeared from the auction stage in an instant, leaving Lilysa standing there dumbfounded. Her small mouth was slightly open, and her eyes showed a hint of surprise and confusion. She was obviously very surprised by Black Commander's sudden departure and the quick resolution of the matter.

Lilysa blinked, remained silent for a moment, then shrugged. Her skirt slipped down quite a bit, and her snow-white breasts seized the opportunity to pop out for a breath of fresh air.

Lilysa instinctively crossed her arms over her chest, thinking that since Black Commander had already confirmed it, there was naturally nothing to worry about.

She had initially regretted not being able to sell the Creator God's Blood Essence at a higher price, as a higher price meant a larger commission. However, upon further reflection, she realized that no one could afford the 2 million Origin Gold Coins price tag, and the auctioneer was destined to fail to sell, meaning she wouldn't receive any profit as the auctioneer.

Although the current transaction price is only 200,000 Origin Gold Coins, she can at least obtain a certain percentage of commission. More importantly, if this drop of Creation God's essence blood fails to sell this time, she may not be the one to preside over the next auction, and then she will be even less likely to profit from it.

Thinking of this, Lilysa's mood brightened, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips. She secretly rejoiced, "Hey~ when you think about it this way, I actually made a profit this time!" So, she was instantly filled with joy and anticipation, preparing to announce the end of the auction and welcome this extra little bit of happiness.

Lilysa smugly announced the end of the auction, ignoring the chaos below. As soon as she finished, she disappeared from the auction stage.

Meanwhile, Hei Dashuai, who had left earlier, is now in Chen Ping's VIP room.

......

Chen Ping was startled when he saw the suddenly appearing Black Commander.

Seeing Chen Ping startled, Black General couldn't help but laugh, "Heh, now you know fear? Chen Ping, you're really bold, daring to use forced buying and selling item cards on the black market? You've got some nerve."

Hearing the teasing tone of the Black General, Chen Ping knew that the Black General didn't care at all, so he replied with a smile, "Isn't it because I don't have enough money? Although this drop of essence blood is not very useful to me, it is very useful to my islanders."

"Oh, by the way, Commander Black, do you have any good suggestions about this essence blood? Is it better to use it directly on people, or to make it into a medicine or something?"

"Well," Black General thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "The essence of the Creator God's blood, if consumed directly, would require at least a God-King level. Making it into a potion is unlikely, as the material might not be available in high-level sea areas."

"Actually, the best use is to store it in the blood pool. That way, this drop of essence blood will be assimilated by the blood pool, and then you will be able to obtain endless essence blood of the Creator God. Although it will be slightly less, the impact will not be significant."

"but..."
