The auction went on as scheduled, but since it was not held on site, there was no traditional process.
Each train conductor can enter his or her own auction page, but no items are currently available.
"What a low-brow interface! If I were hosting, I'd at least create a virtual online world. That would be more interesting."
Luo Danong’s auction website is very low-level, even the former Purple Star people could have made it.
He complained for a while and heard Luo Da start to explain the rules.
"The auction will last for 24 hours, and all train conductors can bid repeatedly. The final price after the auction ends will be determined."
"There is a detailed description of each lot, please take a closer look."
“Everyone can communicate with each other and introduce the items they offer on the public screen.”
"This auction uses Energy Crystals as the base currency. Please pick up the goods on your own after the transaction is successful. Star Domain Network is not responsible."
…
The rules are very simple, just look at the price of the goods, whoever has the highest price wins.
By the time Luo Da finished speaking, the public screen was filled with the train conductor's complaints.
"Twenty-four hours? Does it have to be that long?"
"Go back to sleep. Just bid in the last half hour."
"I think the time is reasonable. There are so many lots, so we have to check them carefully."
Amid the noise, Chen An saw many pages appearing on his screen, with items from various trains mixed together in a mess. He could only tell who they belonged to by clicking on them.
"It's dazzlingly colorful from beginning to end. Fuyao, just click on one for me."
He squatted in the driver's seat, with robots on both sides bringing snacks and drinks, and occasionally taking a sip.
"I guess I'll have to watch it for a while today while I adjust my posture."
After making the adjustments, Chen An was attracted by the picture on the screen.
That's a... leg.
"Is this the flavor right from the start?"
Chen An was too lazy to read the more detailed text introduction, so he asked Fu Yao to summarize it for him.
[This is the reproductive organ of a star beast. The introduction says that eating it can enhance reproductive ability.]
Chen An was shocked.
"I thought it was a leg, but it really is a leg. Why would you need reproductive ability now? Just get a new one."
The scene cuts off, revealing a dark picture.
[This lot comes with a video introduction, would you like to watch it? ]
"Open it!"
The video is not clear and may be from a fragment of a civilization.
You can see robots digging, and in the end the ground collapsed and a large amount of black matter appeared.
These black substances will spontaneously combust when exposed to light, emitting brilliant colorful light and illuminating the night sky.
The video ended and Chen An was confused.
"What's the use of this thing?"
[It is a special substance that will spontaneously combust after absorbing energy. It has no practical effect. If the owner likes it, they can buy it to make fireworks.]
"Forget it, I'm not interested. Let's see which smart guy offers it."
It turned out to be an item from the Otto civilization, with a total weight of less than one ton and a price tag of five thousand energy crystals.
"As you said before, this auction might not be interesting. Let's just search for the Crystalworm Civilization and see what good stuff they have."
The search returned thirty results.
Ranked first is the unique destroyer of the Crystalworm civilization, with an ellipsoidal structure.
"No way, are these things for sale?"
After Chen An clicked in, he found that several train conductors had already arrived.
Although each train is similar to a battleship, there are differences in function and quality.
The Crystalworm civilization is a mechanical civilization with a natural advantage in mechanical manufacturing, so their destroyers must be of high quality.
"I want this battleship. The price is 500,000 energy crystals."
"You want to buy a brand new destroyer for 500,000? Are you crazy? I'll give you 800,000."
Chen An just took a look and had no interest in bidding.
He directly found ore No. 77, a total of 500 tons, priced at 200,000 energy crystals.
The introduction is very realistic. The crystal worm civilization did not know the use of this ore, so they collected it and stored it as a resource.
Chen An asked Fuyao, "Don't the other trains know the function of Ore No. 77?"
[Master, if I didn't exist, would you know? ]
Chen An chuckled. "That's true. You provided me with a lot of advanced information. But I remember you said you also needed to study, so you couldn't know too much information."
[I know some basic information about train development]
"I see. When will the other trains learn of the effects of this ore?"
There are two scenarios. One is after the train reaches Star 2 and obtains the Space Cruiser Manufacturing Plant. The other is after learning about the function of Ore 77 from other sources, such as picking up information about advanced civilizations or being revealed by a Star 2 train.
Chen An became more active and thought that he might be able to take advantage of the information gap to earn these resources.
But definitely not now. He looked for a while and then withdrew without making an offer.
"My offer will affect other train conductors. For now, pretend you didn't see it. Mark it and remind me when the last few minutes are up."
Chen An looked at other items auctioned by the Crystal Worm Civilization. Most of them were key items of the civilization, but they were of no value to Chen An.
"They don't live like this anymore?"
[Energy crystals are the core of crystal insect civilization. Compared to them, nothing else is important.]
Nothing could excite Chen An anymore, so he continued to think randomly.
Star beast brains, databases from low-level civilizations, and some useless antiques...
Overall, Chen An was only interested in ore No. 77, and there were a few pieces of civilization information he could bid on, so he would just treat them as collections.
Just as he was about to leave the cockpit to rest, the picture that suddenly appeared on the screen made Chen An's heart tremble.
