Chapter 1024 - 673: Mechanical Bixiao?
There aren't that many people, and everyone they ask is a familiar face or something.
It might be because they only know seat numbers, and everyone only knows roughly which race is bidding against them.
It might also be because, in this small world, the act of killing and robbing treasures can't be performed.
But even so, it still made Jiang Yuan feel a bit overly peaceful, coming from a path of constant killing.
Apart from the auctioneer's shouts, there were only whispers from other races on the field.
Even the speaking voices were not loud, making the spacious venue seem somewhat quiet.
Soon, Jiang Yuan was waiting for the Star Core Fragment he wanted.
This card, being the final highlight of the red quality card section, was still desired by many.
"S-class red quality Material Card Star Core Fragment, starting price four hundred top-grade Star Spirit Stones, each subsequent bid not less than fifty top-grade Star Spirit Stones."
Once the auctioneer's words fell, the screen showed two people bidding more.
The card instantly reached five hundred top-grade Star Spirit Stones.
Without hesitation, Jiang Yuan made another bid.
There was another person with the same idea.
Two more bids followed, and the price soared to six hundred top-grade Star Spirit Stones.
To be precise, the various races estimated this card's price to be around seven or eight hundred.
However, sometimes some cards can't follow the estimated price as the final price.
Just like now.
People from the Demon Race and Elemental Spirit Clan kept bidding, and the auction price for this card quickly rose to eight hundred.
"Is this card really that sought after?"
Mu Qianshan clicked his tongue, but Jiang Yuan still chose to bid again.
Initially, six people were fighting over this card; by now, only Jiang Yuan, the Demon Race, and Elemental Spirit Clan remained.
After Jiang Yuan bid, the Demon Race person bid again.
The price of nine hundred made the Elemental Spirit Clan person hesitate a bit but decisively followed suit.
"Must get this card?"
"Yes."
Jiang Yuan nodded, seized the opportunity before the Demon Race guy, and chose to bid again.
The price broke through one thousand, making the Demon Race person hesitate and eventually give up.
However, the Elemental Spirit Clan guy was unwilling to give up.
When the auctioneer's hammer was about to fall for the first time, they bid again.
Everyone was a bit surprised; this card had already surpassed its expected price.
Was it really this sought after?
Without hesitation, Jiang Yuan immediately bid after the opponent, showing a mindset of must-have.
Sure enough, the opponent hesitated.
One thousand one hundred top-grade Star Spirit Stones, this price was already enough to easily buy a substitute for this card.
Though, they're not that easy to encounter.
Red quality cards, while not as rare as gold quality cards, aren't like blue and white quality cards, where you can find them if you want.
But Jiang Yuan didn't think that way.
Once encountering such a suitable card, he definitely had to get it.
After all, every paper card represents an understanding of its card's traits.
Just like with the Sky Dome Star Sand just bought; some care about the guarding trait, some about the sand, some about the sky.
A card doesn't only have one trait; it's based on the Card Master's different choices.
Some cards have substitutes for other Card Makers.
But for some Card Makers, substitutes don't exist.
For Jiang Yuan, this card surely had alternatives.
But on the same level, there were hardly any.
And they're extremely rare.
If encountered, he undoubtedly should acquire.
What was Jiang Yuan No.2's daily effort for?
Just so, in such matters, he can stand tall?
Watching as the auctioneer's hammer fell three times, Jiang Yuan smiled.
In his heart, he silently praised Jiang Yuan No.2, then relaxed against the soft backrest.
Next up in the auction were red quality Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Unfortunately, the auction was real-name, one person per position, so he couldn't take Old Lord in.
Thus Jiang Yuan didn't have strong thoughts about Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Just watching, soon the auction for red quality Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures ended.
There were only thirty red quality Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Next up were the gold quality cards.
Jiang Yuan sat up straight again, watching the card auction.
During this, Jiang Yuan encountered several interesting cards.
But they weren't very suitable for the materials cards needed for his upcoming card crafting or card quality enhancement.
They could only be said to give some new ideas for cards.
Jiang Yuan merely made a few tentative bids, but once surpassed, he did not continue bidding.
In the end, Jiang Yuan didn't buy any of the gold quality cards or gold quality Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the All Races Chamber of Commerce.
There were only three gold quality Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
One to enhance his flame ability, one for attack ability, and one for speed.
Primarily used on themselves, Jiang Yuan didn't need this type of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures much.
Old Lord might have some thoughts, but there's nothing to be done now.
After the All Races Chamber of Commerce's auction ended, next were the items brought for sale by other races.
Unexpectedly, the first item was a card he made.
A set of ten One-time Skill Cards "72 Transformations: Evil Relief."
According to Mu Qianshan's description during its consignment, using this card will randomly produce the most suitable escape Skill Card for the current crisis.
This excited everyone quite a bit.
After all, in the dangerous world of All Clans, who doesn't need to escape if they can't win?
But how to escape was a very important issue.
Facing an Earth Element Spirit Clan, you can't use the Earth Walking Skill to escape, can you?
That would be equivalent to delivering yourself into their hands!
Thus, "72 Transformations: Evil Relief," randomly produces a card that's the best escape solution for the moment, proving quite popular.
Also because this card type appeared for the first time, it starts at zero; each bid increases by ten pieces of top-grade Star Spirit Stone.
Amid constant bidding, this set of ten cards quickly broke the one hundred top-grade Star Spirit Stones mark.
Just what Jiang Yuan thought, the impression of peace among the auction attendees was instantly shattered.
And it was just the first card, yet the auction was already noisy.
Plus, there were familiar faces...
After all, everyone's seats are closely adjacent, like in a cinema.
Stand up, and you can see the person opposite.
Even if somewhat far apart, everyone is a Card Master; although combat isn't allowed, Skill Card usage remains unaffected.
Also, with post-Sixth Realm body reshaping, they can hear and see more clearly.
Though the venue is large, without using Skill Cards, they can clearly see from start to finish.
Some familiar individuals already started arguing.
Yet even so, bidding on this card set did not cease.
"Gregory of the Demon Race, are you getting these cards for running away next time you meet me?"
"Shut your damn mouth, don't know who last time tried to run away beaten like a grandson."
"Last time was just a clone; you thought you found the real me, but it was merely a clone with 50% combat power!"
"And even then, you couldn't kill my clone, what are you calling for!"
A Demon Race, an Angel Clan; the two soon started cursing at each other.
Jiang Yuan was surprised watching them.
Initially, Jiang Yuan thought the auction was peaceful; he could attend more in the future.
Seeing some auctioned cards would also provide card crafting inspiration for him.
But...
Glancing at the Angel Clan, then the Demon Race.
And the Human Clan and Demon Race sandwiched between them.
Jiang Yuan paused.
Fortunately, the price of this card set steadily rose amid the pair's swearing, soon reaching two hundred.
Mu Qianshan beside him was all smiles.
"Had I known they'd be so popular, I would have brought more."
