Doomsday Roulette

Kanagu couldn't tell whether Ye Zhongming was genuinely uninterested or simply unwilling to engage in the bidding war. Unable to voice his curiosity, he could only wait anxiously.

At this moment, he was also a bit apprehensive, wondering if a price of one million Moon Age Gold was a bit steep.

"Too expensive, Kanagu. If you can lower it by two hundred thousand Moon Age Gold, then I'll take it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhongming secretly chuckled to himself. After all, this wasn't an auction where prices could only go up; bargaining was permitted. If you're asking for too much, it’s only natural that someone would want to pay less. Everyone here wasn't foolish. The equipment was good, yes, but it wasn't at the level where one must fight to get it. It was normal for others not to participate.

Ye Zhongming wasn't in a hurry and was contemplating his wealth.

He had spent nearly one million Moon Age Gold on equipment for the warriors of the Gold Camp today, slightly over a million on battle beasts, two hundred thirty thousand on materials, and about five hundred thousand on various research equipment.

Half of the ten million Moon Age Gold he had received from the Library Palace was already spent. If he deducted the various necessary expenses in the future, there wasn’t much he could actually use.

However, Ye Zhongming didn't feel the need to stop here; he wanted to see how the situation unfolded.

Kanagu shook his head repeatedly.

"The ownership of this piece of equipment isn't mine. Although I have some pricing authority, it’s all based on costs. I can't just raise the price haphazardly; what I earn belongs to the clan, and I can't undermine its interests."

Though Kanagu's words sounded a bit confusing, everyone present understood that this shop was run by the Su Clan. Besides his fixed salary, Kanagu's earnings came from bonuses. Even for the sake of getting more bonuses, he wouldn't raise prices recklessly, as that would certainly lead to his downfall in the long run, and the Su Clan would not tolerate him.

However, understanding it was one thing; the price fluctuations of this equipment could easily reach hundreds of thousands of Moon Age Gold, and no one was willing to give in easily.

After some back-and-forth in verbal sparring, Kanagu refused to budge, leaving the Su Clan member feeling quite helpless.

Through their conversation, Ye Zhongming deduced that this Su Clan member belonged to one of the direct branches and might even have a claim to succession, although he was still quite far behind in the line.

In the end, Kanagu only agreed to a reduction of fifty thousand Moon Age Gold, prompting the Su Clan member to give up in frustration.

Kanagu seemed a bit surprised but professionally put the equipment away and had someone bring out the second item.

"The Great Capital's Cleaving Blade!"

The second weapon was a renyi level war knife, notably beautiful in design.

"This one, it also wouldn't be from that divine artisan, would it?"

The Su Clan member, still unhappy about not acquiring his desired equipment, couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark upon seeing the war knife.

Kanagu wasn't offended. He laughed and said, "No, no, there aren't that many pieces from divine artisans. There was just that one, and that was pure luck."

"Let’s talk about this knife." Kanagu took the war knife out of its box, and immediately a surge of energy overflowed in the small space, easily felt by everyone present, who were all experts.

Without doing anything, the mere act of taking it out resulted in such energy leakage; this alone was enough to deem it a rare item.

Whether energy was contained or leaked wasn't the standard for evaluation, but possessing either was a sign of a good item.

"Currently, although the All Races of the Universe are not living well, driven out by the slave clans, our technological level has surpassed our imagination after so many years of development and integration. This is a benefit but has also complicated matters that should be simple, such as weapons."
