le items go up for bid.”

Xia Fei thought about it and saw the logic in this statement.
Everyone was still fairly uptight, and it would take some time before all those present became familiar with the circumstances and unleashed their freneticism.

Xia Fei successfully secured Everchange for 210 million star coins, cheaper than what he had expected.
Only two or three other bidders joined in the bid, but once the price went over two hundred million star coins, all of them immediately gave up on bidding.

As the auction continued, the atmosphere became even more intense.
By the time Xia Fei’s second item, the ten-thousand-year-old Cloudmother appeared, it took him over five minutes of nervous bidding before he obtained it at a price of 96.5 billion star coins, almost eight times its original starting bid.

What Xia Fei found even more incredulous was the fact that his Purple Heart of Spirit, which weighed more than two kilograms, ended up going for more than a hundred billion star coins, reaching the astronomical price of 115 billion star coins.

“What a pity.
The president instructed me to bid as long as the price was under a hundred billion star coins, but who knew that there would be so many people competing with me over it?” Thuram lamented, somewhat irate.

Xia Fei did not say a word.
Thuram had no idea that Xia Fei was the one who had consigned that piece of Purple Heart of Spirit through the auction.
He was of course elated, for he still had hundreds of tons of these stones in safekeeping, and each and every one of them was worth plenty.

…

The auction continued with great ardour.
Xia Fei wanted to bid quite a few times, but he ultimately controlled himself.
It was as the saying went: ‘Steel is best used on the blade.’ Though he had just come into possession of many valuable Hearts of Spirit, he could not turn these ores into cold hard cash all at one go.
It was better if he put the funds he had on hand to better use.

The three energy stones that sold for a total of 120 billion star coins happened to cover the cost of Cloudmother and Everchange, which he had purchased.
Quantum Holdings needed an operation fund of about 160 billion star coins, so the military’s advanced payment of a dun as well as the credit line the banks had loaned him, which amounted to two duns, were the total funds Xia Fei had at present.

…

In order to set off on this mission that would take him deep into the insectoid territory, Xia Fei would at least need to spend at least 0.5 dun on warships, equipment and the like, and if he were to include the operation fees needed by Quantum Holdings, the funds Xia Fei could use was two duns at most.

Two duns might be an astronomical sum to most people, but in the endless expanse of space, it was hardly worth anything.
Just take the development plan Xia Fei intended to enact on the Terminus Star Region; he required several dozen duns in funds, maybe going up to the hundreds or even thousands.

“What will now follow are the secret auction items that everyone has been looking forward to.
If I’m not mistaken, these few items will likely create a new record in the highest auctioned price ever made in the history of the carnival, for their existence is not only a miracle but also practically unparalleled!” the auctioneer excitedly declared.

The atmosphere in the hall got even more tense, as their eyes were all trained upon the stage.
Everyone had their guesses, wondering just what spectacle would The Brotherhood’s Triennial Trade Carnival provide.

“Let us all now take a look at the first out of the three items that will be sold in the secret auction.”

A lady wearing a traditional long dress slowly got up on stage while holding a golden tray.
There was something on top of this tray, and due to the distance everyone was from the platform, as well as the golden cloth covering the item, no one could make out just what was underneath.

The auctioneer took the cloth off and pointed to the tray.
“Everyone, please listen carefully; I’m sure few of you have seen one with your two eyes!

“This is the apex weapon for fire ability type users, the Flame Carillion.”

Just as the auctioneer said his line, the intense stage lights turned on along with a captivating burst of music, illuminating everything in brilliant lights.

Xia Fei could see a maroon-colored object on the tray, its body long and narrow like a piece of deadwood.

“What is that?” Xia Fei asked.

Thuram replied, “That’s the legendary weapon said to increase the prowess of a fire type ability user by twenty percent, the Flame Carillion.”

“Twenty percent!” Xia Fei was astonished.

The pair of Zephyr combat boots he had was already top-grade equipment for increasing his speed ability by ten percent, yet the small maroon weapon was actually able to raise a special ability by twenty percent.
It was simply hard to believe that such a thing existed.

Actually, there were plenty of weapons that could boost the various abilities, but few would see such a substantial bonus.
After all, for bonuses higher than three percent, the price for every percentage increase did not just double but also went several dozen times.

‘Too bad this isn’t some equipment that will boost the speed ability; otherwise, I’d surely fight for it,’ Xia Fei thought to himself.

All the fire type ability users present were going crazy for this priceless Flame Carillion, the atmosphere in the hall escalating greatly.

Everyone had their eyes on this treasure, be they people who were fire type ability users themselves or people who wanted to acquire it for the purpose of making the item their family heirloom.

“The starting bid shall be at a hundred billion star coins.
Is there anyone who would like to possess this unparalleled weapon, the Flame Carillion for a hundred billion star coins?”

“One hundred billion!”

“One hundred twenty!”

“One hundred fifty!”

“One hundred fifty billion star coins.
This gentleman here has made a bid of one hundred fifty billion star coins.
Is there anyone going higher?”

“Two hundred billion star coins.”

Xia Fei was rubbing his chin just as someone among the frenzied crowd made that bid, wondering to himself, ‘This is a rare opportunity to purchase a Flame Carillion.
Should I bid for it or not?’
