“Alright, let's go take a look.”
Qin Chen sensed the many Divine Light Fish in his Qiankun Creation Jade Plate and smiled as he spoke.
Although he had purchased a lot of items in the past three days, this time his harvest in the Nether Star River was so great that Qin Chen hadn't consumed too many treasures, and even the seventeen million merit points from the Black Market Order of Venerable Jue Shan were only half spent.
After all, in this trading market, individuals were generally reluctant to receive merit points and preferred to exchange treasures for Divine Light Fish, Holy Veins, or other treasures.
Initially, Qin Chen was curious about the auction, but he was still cautious. However, after participating in the trading conference these days and discovering that although the Black Market trading event was lively, the rules were strict, he felt relieved.
“Haha, let’s go to the auction!”
Gu Li Mo said excitedly, and a group of people immediately walked towards the auction venue.
At this moment, the auction location was already crowded with many people, with many squeezing at the entrance and unable to enter.
“What’s going on…” Qin Chen furrowed his brows.
The old dwarf explained, “My Lord, wanting to participate in the auction is not without prerequisites. You either need to be an invited guest from the Black Market or someone with treasures to auction in this event. Otherwise, to enter, you must pay a hefty fee to purchase a private box.”
“Hefty fee?
How hefty?”
Gu Li Mo, having caught quite a few Divine Light Fish, had also made extravagant purchases these days, and he boldly stated.
“The fee for a private box is thirty Divine Light Fish weighing one pound, or one-third of a Venerable Holy Vein, or fifty million merit points,” the old dwarf said.
“Gasp!”
As soon as these words came out, Gu Li Mo immediately gasped, and even Qin Chen was taken aback.
This Black Market is too exploitative, right?
Originally, he thought a few late-stage Saint Master Holy Veins would be enough, but who would have thought it would be so expensive.
Each of these three conditions was extremely shocking.
Fifty million merit points? To kill a Venerable only yields about one hundred million merit points. If using a Black Market Order, it would only be fifty million merit points.
In other words, killing a Venerable would only cover the entrance fee.
Moreover, one-third of a Venerable Holy Vein was also exorbitant.
As for thirty Divine Light Fish weighing one pound, it goes without saying that if it weren't for Qin Chen, and they had to fish in the Nether Star River themselves, deducting the rental costs for the starship, it would probably take at least one or two thousand years to get enough, right?
And that's a conservative estimate.
“Is there really someone willing to spend money to enter the auction?”
Gu Li Mo was dumbfounded.
Although there were many people gathered outside the auction hall to watch the excitement, there were also quite a few entering, with people entering one after another.
“Can this be profitable?”
Gu Li Mo was puzzled. He had heard that there weren't many treasures at the auction, and if one directly brought out one-third of a Venerable Holy Vein, what if they didn't auction off good items? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
The old dwarf smiled and said, “This is the charm of the Black Market. The Black Market can guarantee that every treasure entering their auction hall is a rare gem. Perhaps you may miss out once or twice, but what about five times or ten times?”
“In the Black Market, there is a saying: even if you participate in ten auctions, as long as you hit a desired treasure just once, you will never suffer a loss.”
“Is it really that amazing?”
Gu Li Mo was astounded; was this old man boasting?
Ten auctions, and the cost is almost equivalent to three Venerable Holy Veins. What good treasure could make you recoup your ticket price outside of the auction?
“Hehe, interesting. Let’s go get a private box.”
