Chapter 514: The Auction Continues, Getting Something for Nothing



As soon as Martin finished speaking, a whisper broke out among the crowd.

The leaders of many forces looked at each other, with hesitation and thought flashing in their eyes.

For them, the strategic value of the star port is self-evident.

If you can buy a star port at a suitable price in the current chaotic situation, it will undoubtedly be a very cost-effective deal.

Finally, a thin, eight-armed leader stepped forward and declared, "I'll offer three hundred and fifty-five planetary cores!"

Although his voice was not loud, it was particularly clear in the silent atmosphere.

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on him. Some of the leaders of other forces frowned slightly, while others secretly wondered whether the core they brought were enough.

Then, another shadowy assassin leader, shrouded in shadows, shouted, "Three hundred and sixty planetary cores!"

With these two bids, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became lively, with bidding sounds coming one after another.

"Three hundred and sixty-five!"

"Three hundred and seventy!"

The price continued to rise, and Martin looked at the lively bidding scene in front of him, feeling secretly happy.

But he also knew that these forces were not easy to deal with and they would inevitably hesitate when the price approached the psychological limit.

When the price reached 380 planetary cores, the pace of bidding slowed down significantly.

The leaders who had been actively bidding just now fell silent, as if they were thinking about whether to continue raising the price.

At this time, a leader of an ancient race who had been silent until then slowly spoke: "Three hundred and eighty-five planetary cores, and I can also provide ten high-level Star Crystals as additional chips."

Everyone gasped at these words. High-level Star Brilliance Crystals were extremely valuable in interstellar trade, each one worth a fortune. This was undoubtedly a very attractive price.

Martin was secretly happy, but his face remained calm.

He said loudly: "Three hundred and eighty-five planetary cores, plus ten high-level star crystals, is there a higher bid?"

There was silence at the scene as everyone was weighing the pros and cons.

After a while, seeing no one bid any more, Martin raised his hand and announced, "Alright! This leader bids 385 planetary cores and 10 high-level Star Crystals. Deal!"

"This starport on the western border belongs to you."

"Next, we will bid on another starport located in the north. The starting price is also 350 planetary cores."

As Martin finished speaking, a new round of bidding was instantly ignited.

A short but piercing-eyed leader was the first to bid: "Three hundred and fifty-five planetary cores!"

His voice was shrill but full of confidence, and it was obvious that he was determined to obtain the starport in the north.

As soon as the words fell, a foreign woman dressed in gorgeous robes and exuding a mysterious aura chuckled and slowly said, "Three hundred and sixty pills, plus five bottles of stellar-level healing potions."

The chips she threw out made everyone present feel a chill in their hearts, a star-level healing potion.

It is an invaluable treasure in void wars and adventures, and can save lives at critical moments. Its value is immeasurable.

The atmosphere on the field became increasingly tense, and everyone was wondering whether to follow suit.

At this time, an armored alien roared in a raspy voice: "Three hundred and sixty-five planetary cores, plus six star cluster-level cores!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at them sideways.

The bidding continued, and the price soared. When the bid reached 390 planetary cores, competition gradually concentrated among the leaders of several powerful factions.

A white-haired but energetic old elf narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Three hundred and ninety-five planetary cores, and a complete set of large starship construction blueprints."

These words were like a bombshell, causing an uproar among the crowd.

Complete blueprints for building a large starship mean that a force has the ability to build powerful starships on its own, and its value is immeasurable.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, wondering if anyone was willing to raise the price further.

Seeing this, Martin urged loudly: "Three hundred and ninety-five planetary cores."

"We also have a complete set of starship construction blueprints. This is a rare opportunity, so everyone should seize it! Any higher bids?"

Just as Martin was about to ask again, a middle-aged man in black clothes and with a stern face broke the silence.

He crossed his arms, his eyes revealing a hint of confidence and determination. He said slowly, "Four hundred planetary cores, plus ten rare star source crystals."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present gasped in amazement. Star source crystals were an extremely rare resource in the virtual space, capable of providing powerful and long-lasting power for starships.

It can also be used to arrange various powerful void arrays, and its preciousness is no less than that of a complete starship construction blueprint.

Martin was secretly delighted, but his face remained professional and calm.

He said loudly, "Four hundred planetary cores, plus ten rare star source crystals. This gentleman has offered a very high price."

"Are there any friends who can offer a higher price? This is a critical moment concerning the ownership of a starport, so please consider it carefully!"

Everyone looked at each other, weighing the pros and cons of continuing to raise the price.

After all, the price is already quite high. If the price is raised further, even if the star port is acquired, subsequent development and investment will face tremendous pressure.

However, the strategic significance and potential benefits brought by the star port are equally huge, making it difficult to give up easily.

At this moment, the mysterious woman in the gorgeous robe frowned slightly, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said in a delicate voice, "Four hundred and five planetary cores, five star source crystals, and a method for setting up a top-level void formation."

Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet it carried an unquestionable determination.

The arrangement method of the top-level void array is undoubtedly an extremely tempting bargaining chip.

In the vast void conflict, there is a powerful void formation.

Not only can it protect the star port like a solid barrier, but it can also play an unimaginable role in battle, greatly enhancing the overall strength of a force.

However, although the top-level void array is extremely powerful, it has a staggeringly high cost.

All kinds of materials needed to set up the void array, as well as the indispensable star source crystals, are extremely expensive.

More importantly, these materials and star source crystals are all consumables.

It must be replenished every once in a while, otherwise the Void Array will become ineffective due to energy depletion.

Martin didn't understand these complicated situations.

It is impossible to arrange it in a short period of time.

After all, setting up a void array, especially a powerful void array, is by no means an easy task. Without the leadership of a professional void array master, it is impossible to do it at all.
