"First bid, any other players offered a higher price? Second... third bid! Congratulations to this player for winning this unique City Building Token for 265 gold!"
The auction for the city-building decree finally came to an end with the auctioneer's gavel.
265 gold.
It's equivalent to spending over five million to buy a virtual item.
This seemed utterly absurd to many, but only Su Bai understood that it was actually very worthwhile. With a mere five million, he could gain an opportunity to divide up the future world—provided that the city-building order was without fault.
Who took the picture?
Su Bai then asked.
"They should be from the Radiant Dynasty, the guild behind the God Emperor," Shen Wansan added.
"oh."
Su Bai smiled upon hearing this.
The Glorious Dynasty is a behemoth that can rival guilds like the Heavenly Court and the Four Symbols Hall. It is definitely a force to be reckoned with, and its subsequent retaliation will be enough to give Rainbow Pavilion a hard time.
Moreover, the Radiant Dynasty was one of the forces that had driven him to the brink of despair.
He would be happy to see either of them suffer a setback.
"They've revealed their final trump card."
Shen Wansan suddenly perked up and said.
Rainbow Pavilion finally presented their last treasured item: a magnificent display stand was pushed up, upon which was displayed... a broken trident. The trident was broken in the middle, with only the upper half remaining, and a section of the blade was also broken off. Blue and gold wave patterns were faintly visible on the trident, but it was also covered with mottled corrosion and rust.
"Um?"
Su Bai's expression immediately turned serious upon seeing this.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do not be fooled by the unassuming appearance of this weapon; it was once used by a god!"
The auctioneer introduced the items with a mysterious expression and a soft voice.
However, he seemed to have exhausted all his information and could only display the weapon's attributes on the big screen.
【Sea of Lamentations (Damaged)】
【arms】
[Level: Common (Potential for Growth)]
[Level: 1]
Attack: +10
[Ability Power: +10]
【Characteristic ①: Heart of the Ocean. Absorbing the blood of each marine creature yields a small amount of Ocean Essence. Successfully purifying a polluted sea area yields a large amount of Ocean Essence, which can be used to repair the weapon's damage】
【Feature 2: Purification Rune. This weapon possesses the power to purify waters. If placed in polluted waters for an extended period, this power will automatically activate.】
【Characteristic 3: All waters converge. When wielding this weapon, one can sense the pulse of the ocean, gain the power to control water, and enter the ocean through any body of water】
[Note: Listen, the ocean is crying...]
[Requirement: None]
...
"Growth weapons? The potential of such things can be high or low, and a single description cannot explain anything."
Shen Wansan offered his comments.
"You're right." Su Bai solemnly agreed with him.
Not all weapons that evolve into newer versions are necessarily valuable.
Some upgradeable weapons may only be able to be upgraded to level three or four, which is worse than ordinary equipment. Some may not even meet the conditions for repair at all.
However, neither of the above situations applies to the trident in front of us.
Su Bai had heard of its formidable reputation firsthand.
The Sea of Lamentation.
Top-tier artifact!
This weapon transcends the realm of ordinary equipment, for it is not merely a weapon, but a ladder to godhood! If anyone were to wield this weapon and purify all the polluted seas in the world, they would directly attain godhood and ascend to godhood on the spot!
This is very likely the closest path to godhood for players in the entire world of immortality!
Of course, achieving this is no less difficult than climbing to the heavens.
But there is still hope.
This weapon was completely unsealed in its previous life. However, its owner was not a player, but a sea creature who became the Sea God, possessing endless seas and an unshakeable position. Even the Lord of Light had to show him respect.
How many gold coins will I get after this auction?
Su Bai asked directly.
"You want to bid for this weapon?" Shen Wansan immediately realized what was going on. He glanced thoughtfully at the weapon on the stage and then said, "Once the proceeds from this auction are settled, it will probably be more than 560 gold coins, and nearly half of them will be yours."
"Help me bid!"
Su Bai immediately said, but then added, "If it's more than a hundred gold coins, then forget it."
The Sea of Sorrows does not have the account binding restrictions like the Blade of Primordial Light.
In other words...
It can be exposed.
Otherwise, this weapon would not have ended up in the hands of a sea creature in my previous life.
Although Su Bai was tempted, he still maintained his rationality.
He should use the money he earns to develop his territory; it's not worth spending too much on a single weapon for growth.
Moreover, to completely unseal this divine artifact, he would need to devote all his energy to it.
We can't afford to neglect one aspect for the other.
It's not available now.
If all else fails, we can always find another opportunity to snatch it back later.
"This thing, one hundred gold?" Shen Wansan's mental valuation of this weapon was even lower than that of the Takiya Demon Blade. As a merchant, he valued immediate profits more, and he was unlikely to be willing to invest too much in something as uncertain as growth equipment.
However, he did not refuse Su Bai's offer.
"OK."
He agreed.
He then laughed and said, "So this is what they've got all up their sleeve. Looks like we've won this round."
