The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 910: Chapter 910: Competition

Augustine Nolan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, apparently having no thoughts about the price of this Alloy Steel Soul Artifact steadily increasing. Xu Siyu kept watching the price, becoming more apprehensive with each glance.

1.2 million credit points.

1.3 million!

1.4 million!

1.5 million!

...

Just as it was about to reach 2 million, Xu Siyu grew a bit anxious and whispered to Augustine Nolan, ”Senior Nolan, should we bid?”

Augustine Nolan turned to her, his expression indifferent, and said, ”No bids.”

Xu Siyu was taken aback, ”No bids?”

In Xu Siyu’s view, although this disposable consumable soul artifact was not as stunning as the previous Intermediate one, it was still crafted by Green Glaze Master himself and had considerable research value. Therefore, Xu Siyu couldn’t understand why Senior Nolan would give up.

Augustine Nolan nodded, his tone slightly heavy, ”That person from the Wei family across won’t let me win it.”

Xu Siyu opened her mouth...

Indeed.

Earlier, to grab the Intermediate Dream Catcher, there was a tense confrontation with Hero King, and now, if Senior Nolan shows an interest in this low-level soul artifact, Hero King will definitely raise the price.

Even if it’s won in the end, it could be bought for several times its original value.

Is it still worth bidding at such a high price?

Yes!

If it were Xu Siyu herself, she would definitely fight for the chance.

But—

Here, Augustine Nolan is the decision-maker, beyond her control, and — she’s merely someone he called over to help pick materials, equivalent to an employee hired by Senior Nolan...

She is nobody to him...

Xu Siyu clenched her fists tightly:

After the plagiarism and slander scandal became established, her reputation plummeted, no... it’s entirely ruined now, if it weren’t for her important position in Senior Nolan’s laboratory, which temporarily can’t do without her, Senior Nolan would probably have kicked her out.

And now, to remain in the lab, she’s had no choice but to sign numerous unfavorable contracts with Augustine Nolan...

Xu Siyu lowered her eyes.

Augustine Nolan raised his eyes, his gaze fleetingly swept over Hero King, then maintained a calm demeanor as he focused on the auction progress on the display platform.

At this point, the price had already surpassed 2 million.

After 2 million credit points, the rate of increase began to slow.

2.01 million.

2.02 million.

2.03 million.

...

Not only did the pace of bidding slow, but the participants also gradually dwindled. Gradually, only a dozen or so people remained in intense competition.

It seemed both Augustine Nolan and Wei Xiaoxiong were patient enough to have never participated in a single bid.

...

Ji You, holding a Big Chopper, listened to the price rise, feeling overjoyed inside, yet kept a very composed facade.

Ahem...

The soul artifact originally valued at 1.5 million was auctioned for over 2 million, which added tens of thousands more... along with the previous auction earnings of 1 billion, after clearing the debts, well... how many Candy Beans can this exchange for?

Ji You could already foresee her future indulgent lifestyle of eating a bowl of Candy Beans and pouring another bowl...

Ahem...

Calm.

Calm.

Ji You desperately reminded herself to remain calm, then she lifted her hand and firmly pulled at her lips, finally sealing her inadvertently widened smile.

Soon.

This low-level soul artifact made of Alloy Steel was sold for 2.12 million, the buyer being a young girl. Finding no one bidding against her, the girl felt very pleased and eagerly went on stage to claim her soul artifact.

Under the guidance of the shop robot guide, the girl carefully filled out her delivery address; after completing it, she meticulously checked for any errors before she breathed a sigh of relief.

To purchase this soul artifact, the girl spent almost all of her parents’ lifetime savings, she clenched her fists tightly hoping this time her spiritual power would improve, thus her parents’ hard work wouldn’t be in vain.

The girl went to great lengths to bid on a soul artifact by Green Glaze Master because her spiritual power had been stuck at Grade C for a very long time, hindering her future development. Her parents once desperately earned money to buy her a low-level soul artifact personally made by Master Mickey Dodge, but unfortunately... the soul artifact had a very low compatibility with her spiritual power. After the soul artifact was consumed, her spiritual power still showed no improvement.

...

It’s said that soul artifacts crafted by Green Glaze Master have a high compatibility with the majority of people. The girl believes... this shouldn’t be false...

After completing the form, she put down the electronic pen.

The robot guide smiled, ”Esteemed customer, your soul artifact has been arranged for Light Speed Express delivery via Star Network, expected to arrive in approximately 3 hours, please keep an eye out for its receipt.”

Upon hearing this, the girl’s heart was thrilled, her eyes showing a hint of anticipation.

After completing the process, the girl left the special reception room of Qingyou Shop and then rejoined the crowd.

Having just stood still, suddenly someone lightly tapped her back. She turned around in surprise to see a young woman, who appeared slightly defensive in her eyes. The woman, Xu Siyu, donned a friendly smile and said, ”Hello, I’m sorry to interrupt you, I’ve sent you a friend request, could you accept it? I’d like to discuss something with you.”

The girl frowned, ”Sorry, I don’t know you.”

Xu Siyu smiled lightly, saying, ”Although it’s a bit abrupt, I really mean no harm, I’m willing to offer 1 million more credit points for the soul artifact you just won, would that be acceptable?”

The girl was even more puzzled, ”Since you’re willing to offer 1 million more, why didn’t you participate in the auction?”

Xu Siyu’s face looked somewhat awkward, ”Actually, I’m not the one who wants to purchase, I’m just buying it on behalf of my boss. As you know, the last bidding was too competitive, so we were concerned the opposition wouldn’t let us win this time, which is why we didn’t bid.”

Upon hearing this, although the girl was somewhat tempted, 1 million credit points compared to her own improvement, she chose to enhance her strength. Hence, she shook her head and said, ”Sorry, I’m not really interested in trading.”

Xu Siyu slightly frowned, the girl’s conditions seemed not so good, and yet she’s unwilling despite our offer of an extra million?

Well—

She had no choice but to add another 50 thousand.

As Xu Siyu was about to speak, suddenly, a low male voice interjected from the side, ”I’m willing to offer double the price, and additionally include a low-level soul artifact crafted by Master Lin Feng, in exchange for the soul artifact in your possession, what do you think?”

Xu Siyu was taken aback.

The girl was instantly shocked and widened her eyes.
