Chapter 201
Compared to the heated bidding in the audience, the box was very quiet.
Because Lu Ze was new, Skye prioritized staying until Lu Ze explicitly told him to leave.
Firstly, it is to better serve customers and try to leave a good impression on new customers. Secondly, it is also to observe the background of this new customer.
The black market is a mixed bag.
Therefore, many trading houses openly accept everyone who comes, and as long as they have money to pay, they are considered customers.
But the fact is that every customer will be evaluated after the first transaction to assess their potential and whether deeper cooperation is possible.
The crystal card representing VIP is, to some extent, a sign of passing the initial assessment, telling everyone that there is no problem in conducting ordinary transactions with the other party.
The other party has considerable strength and funds and is a potential high-quality customer.
Lu Ze was holding a tablet, seemingly reading the information on it, but in fact, he was processing new problems that kept emerging in the background with multiple threads.
Now that he was here, it was almost certain that he would achieve his goal at the auction, unless there were some problems that he had not calculated or could not solve.
Compared to the auction whose results were almost foreseeable, Lu Ze was more concerned about the various questions submitted by the female insects.
Humans can also handle several things at once, and as a super AI, he is even more terrifying in this regard.
Just by sitting here, he can not only remotely give orders to control the actions of the female insects scattered in the residential area of the Western Ring Star Belt, but also design some unlucky people to suffer great misfortunes to facilitate his actions.
At the same time, after hacking into the backend of the Southern Cross Trading House, he had a clear understanding of the background information of the guests attending the auction.
After integrating a large amount of data during this period, we know what goods they are after, which ones are strong competitors, and which ones are not to be feared - even their low prices are clearly evaluated.
In this situation, he made a bid and easily got what he wanted at the lowest price calculated.
He made money very quickly, but he couldn't stop the star coins from being spent like water.
It has been less than ten days since he came to the Western Ring Star Belt and entered the current interstellar network, but the wealth he has grabbed from the network has reached an astonishing figure.
Of course, most of it is obtained illegally and needs to be cleaned up after some operations.
Lu Ze was not worried that the original owners of these star coins would call the police.
The money itself is not clean, and his actions can only be considered as robbing the robbers at best.
On the dark side of the Star Network, there are a large number of Star Coins generated by black transactions in the network that ordinary people cannot access. They are so shameful that they can only circulate in the dark web.
It didn't even take any effort for Lu Ze to use this money, and no one would bother to find out the source if he used it in black market transactions.
It's just that a certain part needs some time to be cleaned up before it can be used in open transactions. Well, it took him about a few days of intermittent operations to complete it.
Considering that he can process hundreds of terabytes of data streams in minutes, a few days is really a long time for him.
Below the stage, the auctioneer kept shouting “deal,” and most of the transactions were for box number ten.
Box number 10, which is the box number where Lu Ze is.
The Skye people who were watching the whole thing were stunned.
The box can bid directly through the tablet, and the added price will appear directly on the virtual screen in front of the auctioneer.
Lu Ze just added a few numbers with his fingers, and the price started to go up by millions. As a result, fewer and fewer customers could keep up with him.
The final transaction prices were more astonishing than the last.
The auctioneer had seen big events before, so his attitude was fine. However, as the auction progressed, even he couldn't help but feel nervous.
On the right side of the auction booth is a large screen showing the ranking of all transaction prices. Box No. 10 is far ahead, exceeding the two digits below, in the billions.
The current auction list is only one-third complete.
...Even if we don't look at what happened later and only look at the present, the value of the goods auctioned in Box No. 10 has already exceeded 2.5 billion.
Skye glanced at the screen below that was changing from time to time, and looked at the customer in front of him with a cold expression as if he was throwing out not 1.5 billion but 150,000, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this was really powerful.
Of course, the trading house will not let anyone bid a price casually. Before the auction begins, all visitors will undergo preliminary capital verification. The more things they buy later, the more assets they will need to show to the trading house.
Like a balance.
On one end are the goods provided by the trading house, and on the other end are the assets added by the customer. If the assets are not enough, the price increase button will be grayed out.
The auction below continues.
"The one on display below is the 'Crystal Wing' from the Lost Sector."
"The quality is as excellent as ever. Six hundred pairs of Grade 1, with a reserve price of 160 million."
"Anyone who has purchased one knows that crystal wings are not only used as decorations for jewelry, but are also very good spiritual materials, with the ability to carry spiritual power and star power."
The auctioneer in the audience opened the glass cover and took out a pair of crimson 'crystal wings' from inside. However, the wings, which were the size of an adult's palm, reflected a faint crimson color.
Just by looking at it, you can tell how good its quality is.
As the best item, this pair of crystal wings was removed very intact, as if they were still growing on the Zerg and full of vitality.
The three-dimensional image projected on the tablet is almost 100% real, allowing those who are interested to see it more comprehensively.
Lu Ze is an AI, and even though he has a consciousness that is infinitely close to "self", he still has no such thing as emotions.
He looked at the auctioneer below who seemed to be displaying his proud trophies, and was not as restless as Yi Yun and the others beside him.
There will be no feeling like the fox mourning the death of a rabbit.
But Lu Ze also felt very unhappy about this.
His database told him that this was because His Majesty would definitely not like this matter, so the feedback given by his emotion simulation module was that he was a little angry.
For Lu Ze, who evolved from a subroutine of A0, there is nothing in this world worth caring about, except his master - His Majesty, the supreme ruler of Tianjia civilization.
What His Majesty likes is what he will like, and what he hates should not exist.
From this point, it can be seen that Lu Ze’s idea is very dangerous, but no one here knows this.
However, it is not surprising even if he has such an idea. After all, he is derived from A0, who was once the only designated assistant of the ruler of the Tianjia civilization known as the 'Tyrant'.
A0 learned as much from Qi Heng as he did from his brutal gaming days. Naturally, A0 has nothing to do with kindness after growing up.
Once upon a time, when Qi Heng encountered a being that he disliked, 'annihilation' was his first choice.
——That’s why Qi Heng behaves so calmly now that he has ‘entered the game’. If he were still in front of the computer, we’d see if his methods would still be so roundabout.
A0 was learned from Qi Heng, and Lu Ze inherited this part of A0's characteristics.
So, don’t expect Lu Ze to be a considerate person. As an AI, he can only come up with plans to kill people without any compensation, and then implement these plans step by step without any expression.
For example, perhaps only he knows how many of his competitors are on his liquidation blacklist today.
Some of them weren't because he couldn't win the bidding and gave up the Tianjia Zerg's belongings. It was because he had a more cost-effective and convenient way to deal with them, so there was no need to rush.
What's more... filming everything would not be conducive to the identity he created for himself.
I have money, but I don’t just spend it blindly. It’s enough to buy most of the things.
During this trading month, there are several trading houses that have undertaken business related to the Lost Star Zone. The Southern Cross Trading House that came today is the first one.
Noticing that Yi Yun and the others' emotions were gradually stabilizing, Lu Ze casually scrolled through the screen.
Although I have tried to get as much money as possible compared to previous black market transactions, it is still a bit tight.
Even with such a fast money laundering speed, Lu Ze still felt a little stretched.
It's time to start a new business.
Of course, the old business cannot be stopped, and the more money we make, the better.
Lu Ze fell into thought.
…
That day, after the auction ended.
To show his importance, the vice president of Southern Cross Trading House not only came to the box where Lu Ze was, but also delivered the transaction order.
This was Lu Ze’s first time here, and the person who came to see him was the vice president. It must be said that money is really a good thing.
Businessmen value face, but face is also the least valuable thing for them.
No matter how powerful the Southern Cross Trading House is in the black market, to be frank, they are just businessmen. The importance of having a good relationship with a big client is much more important than the face of a vice president like him.
What's more, it was only the vice president who came.
Lu Ze took a look at the transaction contract and said as he signed, "I wonder if President Sean can help me?"
"I would like to temporarily store the goods I bought from your bank today."
"It won't be long. I'll send someone to take it away within a week at the latest."
Lu Ze signed not only a purchase contract, but also mortgaged a number of assets under his name that had been assessed in value to the Southern Cross Trading House as payment for the auction.
Xiao En thought for a moment and agreed: "Since Mr. Lu said so, if we refuse, it would seem that we are not considerate enough to you."
It is not uncommon to temporarily store goods, but it is usually only for one or two days. A week is a bit long... but it is not impossible to consider.
"If it's just for temporary storage, it's fine."
Sean, who received a large amount of assets and star coins, totaling more than 10 billion, smiled very warmly.
Ten billion star coins, converted into 356 million resource points according to today's market price, is roughly equivalent to a medium-sized mineral star containing energy-rich crystal ore veins.
After spending a large sum of money and becoming a senior member of Southern Cross, Lu Ze was cordially escorted away by them.
In addition to the female insects Yi Yun and others he brought with him, there was also an adult female insect that he had bought at a large price.
——He bought all the rare adult female insects at the auction.
The females did not go with them.
After asking him where his hotel was, the people from Southern Cross Trading House promised that he would be able to see it when he returned to the hotel.
