Chapter 702: Nameless Stone Tablet

The Starry Sky Auction House is the largest chamber of commerce in the Oseloch Star Cluster and the Prisoner Bird Empire.

Behind it is the shadow of the imperial government.

Holding such a large-scale auction often requires a long period of preparation and the collection of all kinds of rare treasures.

Therefore, there is a gap of one thousand years between each auction held by Starry Sky Auction House.

The void was rippling, and one interstellar train after another leaped out from the space layer. Under the guidance of the intelligent computer, they docked in the wide dock in an orderly manner.

Li You got off the train with great anticipation. After verifying the invitation ticket, he entered the auction venue with the help of a shuttle bus.

This is an extremely large artificial celestial body with a diameter of more than 10 million kilometers. It is suspended in the starry sky, shining with a hazy metallic color. There are countless protrusions on its surface, all of which are terrifyingly powerful war-grade weapons.

There are several warships docked around the huge celestial body. From their sharp and special shapes, it can be seen that they belong to the imperial military.

Such a strong guarding force prevented the star bandits from having any evil intentions and ensured the smooth conduct of the auction.

Li You entered the interior of the celestial body. The invitation ticket he had bought at a huge cost only assigned him to a small corner. With his identity, it seemed a bit out of place for him to participate in such a grand auction.

Li You knew his own weight, so he sat obediently in his seat without looking around. The terrifying aura emanating from the figures around him made his scalp tingle.

No one knows whether these strong men have strange tempers. It is possible that a glance may bring about a fatal disaster. Therefore, it is better for him to be an unknown person.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the vast space, a ball of bright light suddenly rose up, and the hazy glow sprinkled down, gathering into a beam of light, shining on the central platform.

An old man in a tuxedo with neatly combed white hair appeared under the beam of light and was bowing respectfully to all directions.

"Dear Sirs and Ladies!"

"Welcome to the Starry Sky Auction House. I wish you all can win the treasures you like. Without further ado, the auction begins!"

As expected of the most powerful auction house in the empire, there were no beauties to warm up the atmosphere, nor any nonsense of flattery, and they went straight to the point.

Also, because the number of treasures that need to be auctioned at this auction, which happens once every thousand years, is too large and there is no time to waste.

"Everyone, please look! The first one is a treasure, auction number: xk00001."

Snap!

The platform slowly cracked open into a dark gap, and a bright silver metal pillar rose from it. On it was a beautifully shaped tray. A black bead was displayed in the soft velvet, and wisps of black mist lingered around it.

"This treasure is called 'Demon Pearl'. It is a strange creature called the Extraterritorial Demon. It drops after being killed. It can be used to forge treasures, or sharpen one's will, or improve one's illusion-type talents..."

"Starting price: 100 million credit points! Each bid increase must be no less than 1 million!"

"The bidding begins!"

Gurgle, Li You in the corner, listening to the bidding sounds one after another, couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

These people are too rich! In addition to envy, he also felt uneasy. The standard of this auction was too high. Even if he threw all his wealth into it, it wouldn't make any waves.

But there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart. It is normal that the first treasure is more expensive.

This is a common trick in auctions. In addition to the final treasure, in order to arouse emotions, the opening treasure is often also very valuable.

There are still treasures in the back that he can afford.

Moreover, he was thinking of picking up bargains, so the starting prices of those things whose value could not be determined would be very low, leaving a lot of room for maneuver.

"Congratulations! General Aluka has won the bid for the Heavenly Demon Pearl at a price of 1.7 billion!"

"Haha, everyone, admit it!"

In the VIP room suspended in the void, a tall and imposing man raised his glass and looked around. The majesty in his voice made the people below feel suffocated.

The great general of the empire! A ninth-rank expert! Li You sat upright, with envy flashing in his eyes. This kind of powerful demeanor was what a real man should look like.

"The second auction item..."

The silver pillar rose up again , and it was covered with chains, making a crisp sound when it collided with others. A man with a fierce aura was tied up tightly on it.

"This is a war servant, and his strength is at the initial stage of the seventh level."

Seeing that the audience was not in high spirits, the old man smiled slightly, paused for a moment, and continued:

"Everyone, don't underestimate him. Although his strength is not outstanding, he has a very rare talent."

"A powerful talent named 'Time Traveler' violated the rules and traveled through time and space, causing a timeline in the parallel universe numbered a642 to be shattered. He was arrested by the Time and Space Administration and sentenced by the Life Court to deprive him of his civil rights for life and demoted to a war servant."

Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised and looked up and down at the man on the metal pillar.

"Haha, what an idiot, wasting such a talent by daring to challenge the authority of the Spacetime Administration. He deserves to end up like this."

Some people shook their heads with mocking eyes.

This kind of thing is very common. There are always some ignorant guys who think that they can do whatever they want as long as they have a little power. However, they don’t know that there is always someone better than you and that things that require respect are everywhere.

"Boy, I'm very curious, why do you dare to violate the rules of the code?"

"Save people."

The man raised his dim eyes slightly and uttered two words softly.

"Starting price: five million credit points!"

Li You's expression changed slightly as he looked at the expressionless war servant. He seemed to see his own shadow in him.

Travel through time to save people.

Didn't he also want to do this, to rescue his parents?

But he was not brave enough to bypass the regulations of the Space-Time Administration. From the very beginning, he only wanted to resurrect his parents through formal channels.

Time is a complicated thing. Mishandling it will often lead to unpredictable consequences. In the worst case, it may even cause the timeline to collapse. It is best to leave professional matters to professionals.

The auction went on quickly, one item after another, whether it was a rare treasure, a strange creature, or even a small world; as long as it was valuable, it could be placed on the platform for anyone to bid.

This shows how powerful the Starry Sky Auction House is. As long as it is legal, they dare to sell it! Li You was short of money, but he also bid a few times. The system's urgent reminders made him feel confused.

This stupid system, doesn't he know that those treasures contain a lot of time value? He wants them too! But he has no money, what can he do? 'Ding ding ding!'

'Host! A large amount of time has been discovered! Evaluation: unknown...'

'Issue a special mission to obtain this ancient artifact, and you will be rewarded with a 10th-level treasure book.'

Li You's eyes widened. This, this...

This was the first time that a special task appeared in the system. Moreover, it was a tenth-level manual. Li You felt his mind was a little confused and fell into a moment of blankness.

"Auction item, nameless stone tablet, origin unknown..."

"After testing with instruments, it turned out to be an ordinary rock with a human figure engraved on it."

Li You looked intently and saw a gray stone tablet quietly placed on top of the silver pillar. The so-called back of the portrait was extremely blurry and only a hint of its outline could be seen.

Get it! Gotta get it!!

Li You's heart was roaring wildly, his heart almost stopped beating with excitement, and his eyes could not leave the stone tablet.

In his eyes, this was not just a stone tablet, but a priceless tenth-level supreme treasure!

"Starting price: 500,000 credit points!"

"Two million and five hundred thousand!!"

Li You went all in.
