Chapter 38: Buy the Psychic Zombie Crystal Core at the Auction and Give It to...
Whether it is the Beijing base or other bases, there are beast tamers. It can be said that beast tamers are common, but mutant beasts are not common, especially level 4 mutant beasts, which are even rarer.
But the mutant beast that Base T is bidding for is a great white shark, and this creature cannot survive out of water.
Cong Xun was from the North Base, and he was straightforward. He said directly: "This thing is of high quality and good stuff, but the problem is how to carry it with you. Now that we have space storage props, we can keep the great white shark in the space, but the problem is what to do during combat?
Release a great white shark from space, eat a person in one gulp, and then run aground?"
"Puff..." Several people couldn't help but burst out laughing.
There is no crystal core in the mutant beast's brain, but its beast spirit contains huge energy. Eating a large amount of mutant beast meat is very helpful for the psychic to improve his superpowers.
"I guess the only use of this thing is to eat meat." Cong Xun said: "We should look at the mutant beasts in the Northeast."
However, T Base also quoted a high price, which was enough to buy a level 4 mutant beast to eat. Its head was not big, but it had bubbles. In the end, no one bid for it, so it was sold at a low price.
The T base delegation had unhappy expressions on their faces, and the M country people sitting with them also had unhappy expressions on their faces.
Among them was Cruise, who came here by taking advantage of the T base quota and was later detained by the Jingshi base. People from Country M paid a large amount of supplies to bail out Cruise, and by the way, he stayed to continue taking advantage of the T base quota to participate in the auction.
In a sense, it is a case of everyone prospers together and suffers together.
The fifth item for auction is also a mutant beast, a level 4 peak golden tiger provided by the North Base.
The golden tiger was golden all over, with black stripes and dark spots on its body. There was a big "king" character on its forehead, and it looked very majestic.
Even if it is trapped in a cage specially made by a psychic using his supernatural powers, its domineering power remains undiminished.
Even though the golden tiger was in a cage, it did not show any sign of being at a disadvantage. It roared towards the sky, its voice shaking the whole area, and its majesty as a king was fully displayed.
This is good beast taming.
Unlike the great white shark, this golden tiger was snapped up and eventually sold for a good price.
The sixth item for auction is a dual-element sixth-level zombie crystal core of thunder and wind provided by the Los Angeles base.
The crystal cores are not auctioned individually. The starting price for two crystal cores auctioned together is almost twice the price of the two crystal cores auctioned individually.
The Luo City base was obviously well prepared. Everyone knew that the chief commander of the Jing City base, Gu Jinsheng, was a user of both thunder and wind abilities, and his abilities were stuck at the peak of level five and were about to be upgraded to level six.
Of course, the sixth-level zombie crystal core is definitely a good thing, and there are a lot of people bidding for it. Gu Jinsheng simply used space storage props to participate in the auction.
Finally, five space storage props of 200 to 300 cubic meters were used to photograph the two zombie crystal cores.
The ending is a happy one for everyone. The Los Angeles base is satisfied, and the Beijing base is even more satisfied.
Space storage items are expensive, but as they are the manufacturers, the cost is almost negligible, and the two zombie crystal cores are equivalent to being picked up for free.
The seventh item is a level 5 peak wood zombie crystal core, and the eighth item...
It was not until the second-to-last item was auctioned that the host smiled sincerely again and introduced: "This item is very special. Its auction price is low, and it only requires one kilogram of grain. However, what we are bidding on today is not the item itself, but its priority purchase right."
"What do you mean?" Cong Xun said to his companions, "It means that this thing can be mass-produced. There are a lot of them, but they are not sold casually. If you want to sell it, you have to top up your VIP account before you can buy it."
Jiang Fuzhong from the Luo City Base gave Du Ruanlan a thumbs up and said, "Boss, you are really smart and you really got it right. The auction is about to end, and I was thinking that the Jing City Base had no backup plan."
Du Ruanlan was very interested in this finale. "This should be the highlight of today. It's something that will definitely drive all the bases crazy."
Owen's flaming red lips slightly opened, "It may even be related to the life and death of a base."
A Korean supernatural rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "You Xia people are just country bumpkins with no vision. When you see something good, you like to do these fancy things. We have seen all kinds of good things in H country."
I completely forgot how fanatical and obsessed I was when I first touched the space storage props, and how I felt helpless and angry when I didn't have the supplies to take pictures.
The third base was a small base, and the commander was a third-level psychic who had never seen many good things. His eyes were wide open. Unfortunately, with the value of their base, they couldn't even afford the cheapest unsold great white shark.
Silently touched the space pendant on his chest through his clothes and was secretly glad that Chen Chen had exchanged the things back. Otherwise, if they took them to the auction house, half of the supplies in their base would not be enough.
Ding Yong was also dazzled and fantasized that one day he would become one of those bidders.
"The Jingshi base is really rich, with good things one after another. The space storage props were enough to shock me, but I put it in the first auction and didn't take it seriously at all. Now this finale, I think it should be the real good stuff." Ding Yong sighed.
Tang Tang bit her lip, her heart was burning with anger, and more importantly, she was deeply jealous. She wanted so much to be in the VIP box upstairs, but now she could only sit on the first floor and didn't even dare to raise a sign.
"I don't know what kind of treasure this auction item at the Jing City Base is?"
The hostess pulled away the red cloth covering the tray, revealing a mountain of nutrients piled up on the tray. "The highlight of this auction is the nutrients!"
"The nutritional supplements in the interstellar movie can keep you from getting hungry after taking one, and can also provide the most basic nutritional needs that the human body needs every day."
The host heard the sudden noise from below and was very satisfied with the effect he had created.
"The nutritional supplement only has 10 milliliters, and is divided into ordinary people's and special abilities' types. It is divided into one-day, three-day, five-day, and seven-day dosages, as well as half-month and monthly dosages."
The psychics could understand these without the host explaining too much. It was because they heard them so clearly that they were even more shocked.
"Fuck, Lao Zhang, let me pinch you to see if it hurts. What the hell, a nutritional supplement? After taking one, I don't need to eat for several days? Did I hear it right?" Cong Xun yelled.
Lao Zhang pinched Cong Xun's arm, and Cong Xun cried out in pain. Lao Zhang was satisfied, "It hurts so much, it seems I'm not dreaming, it's real. Damn, it's a nutritional supplement!"
Although Du Ruanlan was mentally prepared and knew that it would be something very shocking, he never expected that it would be a nutrient that could directly control a person's life.
Du Ruanlan had a complicated expression. "Space storage items and nutrients. These two things seem to have appeared after the Third Base drove away a traitor."
"Honey, are you saying that these two things are related to the slandered person in the Third Base?" Owen gasped, "Damn, Chen Chen is a fool! He wants to expel a god like him! The thing in his brain is not a superpower crystal core, but a zombie virus!"
Jiang Fuzhong said sincerely: "Is there a possibility that his head is full of idiots!"
Owen chuckled, "That's possible."
Du Ruanlan looked at the nutrient solution on the podium from afar, "Things are going to change."
Silent was so shocked that he stood up from his chair and stretched his neck to see what the nutrient looked like.
There were many people like him who stood up to watch, so it didn't seem out of place.
Even Tang Tang couldn't help but stretched her neck to take a look.
She felt that after the auction, she realized how ignorant she was. The Third Base was a small base after all, and she had stayed in the base for many years, so she didn't know that the outside world had developed into this!
At the same time, a strong ambition arose in her heart, that is to stay in the Jing City base!
She didn't want the outside world to develop into the interstellar age, but she was still trying hard to please an old man with yellow teeth and half of his body buried in the ground just for a bite of food.
Tang Tang secretly made up her mind that no matter what the cost, one day, she must settle down in the Jing City base!
The T base was in chaos, and several M people started talking directly in English.
“Are the effects of nutritional supplements really as good as they claim?”
"Could it be a gimmick deliberately created by the Xia people? You know that the Xia people love to exaggerate their publicity. It would be great if I could experience it in person like the space storage props."
Han Zhiwei's eyes sparkled at the South Base. "The yield of grain crops in our South is low, and we have always relied on the North for food supply. If the nutrient is real, then our South can reduce the death rate by at least two-thirds every year."
Everyone looked at it eagerly, wanting to see it with their own eyes and experience it for themselves.
As the organizer and producer, the Beijing base met the wishes of all base representatives and directly had people push carts to distribute the cigarettes. There were no extras, so each person got one.
Almost everyone who got the nutrient supplement drank it immediately, except for the M people. They did not trust the Xia people and were afraid that there was something wrong with the nutrient supplement, so none of them drank it, but forced a Xia person in the T base to drink it.
"How is it?" The eyes of the M country's superpowers widened wider, all waiting for his answer.
The representative of the T base rubbed his stomach and said, "I seem to be full. I was very hungry just now, but now I don't feel that way anymore."
The M countryman was incredulous, "It's just a tiny thing, not even as big as a piece of bread!"
One of the M countrymen decided to experiment himself, "Let me try it."
Then he personally experienced the magic of the nutritional supplement. The feeling of fullness came so quickly that he could feel it after drinking it.
The effect was immediate. Several M country psychics were so curious that they didn't care about the danger and tried it. Then they let out amazing exclamations like bumpkins.
Cruz said solemnly: "We must report this matter immediately. This is too important for our country."
The land in M country is barren, and the yield of crops such as grain is low, which is completely insufficient to meet the demand. For hundreds of years, M country has been like this, pursuing banditry. When it can't survive, it robs and starts wars.
DeWitt, the representative sent by Country M to redeem Cruz, narrowed his eyes and said calculatingly, "Tell that Xia countryman to contact Han Yaokun as soon as possible. No matter what, he must be captured."
The people of Country M often live in Base T. Most of their forces are centered there, and they have a vague understanding of many things happening inland.
For example, although they had seen the video about the space storage props, they did not understand the love-hate relationship between Chen Chen, Tang Tang and the third hidden character in the video. They simply regarded these two people as people who found the treasure and wanted to hide it. They did not dig deeper or felt that it was unnecessary.
All in all, it’s caused by the lack of timely information.
Their main attention was on Han Yaokun. It was a coincidence in timing. Han Yaokun had just been recruited back to the Jing City base, and then space storage props and nutritional supplements appeared. Even if they said these had nothing to do with Han Yaokun, the people of Country M had to believe it?
Cruz's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he made a gesture of wiping his neck, "If you can't win him over, just kill him! Such talents must not fall into the hands of the Xia people. Country M is the strongest country in the world and the future world hegemon!"
Country H also has barren land. They sell watermelons and other fruits in pieces, and sell strawberries individually, which shows how scarce their products are. They are clamoring loudly, but such a small country with a population of two and a half cannot even afford to eat Chinese cabbage, and they have to buy it from a country with a population of billions. If I don't sell it to them one day, they won't be able to afford to eat kimchi, the national dish.
These two bumpkins were so insulted in the supermarket that day that they didn't forget to take food and cabbage with them when they left. It can be seen how serious their food shortage was. Now when they saw the nutritional supplements, their eyes were glowing green.
After several kimchi superpowers finished drinking, they said in unison: "Buy it, we must take a picture of it."
Almost everyone present had this idea. When the bidding began, the atmosphere of the auction was pushed to a climax again. Something that was not worth a pound of grain, but its priority supply right was bid to a terrifying level. The top three bidders almost lost all their money, and all the supplies for the next ten years were invested.
Country M was defeated because it was not prepared in advance, and Country H could not afford to provide supplies after two rounds.
In the end, the first three priority purchase rights were purchased by Los Angeles Base, North Base and South Base.
The last item for auction is a sixth-level psychic zombie crystal core temporarily added by Country M.
If this crystal core was not taken out after the nutrient supplement was taken out, it could be sold at a sky-high price at any other time.
But after the nutrients, everyone's mind was on the nutrients. The rare sixth-level spiritual zombie crystal core was not so attractive anymore. In the end, it was easily exchanged by Gu Jinsheng using a space storage item.
After the auction was over, people were still talking about it with great interest, but the subject of their discussion had changed from the space storage items they had started with to nutritional supplements.
Tang Tang walked out in the crowd, feeling dazed. For a moment, she even felt like she was dreaming. When did the world outside the Third Base develop so fast? It seemed as if it was no longer on the same latitude as their Third Base.
Tang Tang looked around unconsciously, and suddenly she saw an unexpected but extremely familiar figure - Ji An!
Tang Tang's legs were out of control and she walked towards the second floor involuntarily. Not far from Ji An, Tang Tang hid behind a pillar.
In Gu Jinsheng's open palm lay a transparent zombie crystal core that was flashing with colorful light.
"I bought this zombie crystal core privately and I'm giving it to you." Gu Jinsheng always remembered that Ji An wanted to see the high-level spiritual zombie crystal core that Country M used to redeem people, but unfortunately it was the property of the base and was given to Han Yaokun who needed it the most. With that crystal core, Han Yaokun would be able to advance.
Later, when the delegation from Country M arrived and expressed their desire to add a spiritual zombie crystal core, Gu Jinsheng almost immediately thought of buying one and giving it to Ji An.
Originally, Gu Jinsheng wanted to conduct the transaction privately, but the M Country delegation was unwilling to do so and insisted on promoting the transaction at the auction, saying that they still had high-level psychic zombie crystal cores to sell and needed publicity.
Gu Jinsheng had already made up his mind that he would take the picture no matter what the cost.
The three people who followed behind Ji An and had no sense of existence in front of Gu Jinsheng all stared with their eyes wide open.
Tang Ning and Zheng Yan were fine; to them, the zombie crystal cores were just valuable money.
But Wu Youyang was different. He was also a psychic, and he also needed a psychic zombie crystal core. It was just that the current level 6 crystal core was too high for him, so he couldn't use it. But it was also a psychic zombie crystal core, and he really dreamed that someone would be so generous as to give him one.
Ji An looked at the zombie crystal core with mixed emotions, "I also bid for it at that time. In order to get it, I raised the price several times. If I had known that it was you who was bidding, I would not have raised the price."
"Like I said, tell me what you like and I'll take the photo."
Ji An suddenly remembered that Gu Jinsheng did say such words, but Ji An was used to being independent, and he always found ways to get what he wanted. Even when he was with Chen Chen, Chen Chen relied on him more, and he was always the independent one.
After going through those things, over a long period of time, the windows of Ji An's heart were closed. No matter how close the people outside were, there was always a layer of window glass between them and they could not really come in.
So the moment he saw the zombie crystal core, he was so excited that he forgot about it.
Gu Jinsheng seemed to see Ji An's thoughts. He sighed imperceptibly and said, "I'll give it to you."
Ji An said: "How much supplies did you use? I will try to get them back to you as soon as possible."
Gu Jinsheng contacted Country M privately for the transaction, and the price was not made public, so Ji An did not know that Gu Jinsheng bought it using a space storage item.
Gu Jinsheng's eyes were dim, he didn't say anything, just stared straight at Ji An. It seemed as if those eyes expressed thousands of words, which were more thorough and clear than Gu Jinsheng's interpretation with few words.
This kind of eye contact made Ji An understand everything and made him feel uneasy, as if the two of them had reached the point of mutual understanding.
Ji An subconsciously avoided Gu Jinsheng's eyes that were burning hot underneath the coldness, "I accepted it, thank you, if you need my help in the future, I will try my best to help."
Gu Jinsheng did not move his eyes away. His gaze fell on the top of Ji An's head, then on his half-lowered profile, and finally on his fair neck.
There seemed to be a beast in Gu Jinsheng's eyes that could no longer be hidden. It was about to break out of the sea, choose its prey, and swallow the person in front of it in one gulp.
He had to close his eyes and shut the threatening beast back out.
"Nutrients, you helped me a lot."
Ji An handed over the right to dispose of the nutrient supplements to Gu Jinsheng, which indeed helped him to consolidate his position.
Thinking in this way, it seems natural to accept this zombie crystal core.
But when his hand just touched the crystal core, the space necklace on his chest suddenly became terribly hot, and the heat seemed to burn Ji An's skin.
