Global Grave Digging: My Reward Increased Ten Thousand Times

129: Lin Fei made a big move!”60 million.” The Young Lord of the Jinding Family spat out those three words calmly!

The crowd at the scene got goosebumps. Good heavens, were they about to clash?

Although they couldn’t afford this item, being able to watch a bidding war unfold live was still excellent.

”Good heavens! 60 million!”

”They are so rich!”

”When I run a dungeon, I only earn a little over 100,000 killing coins. 60 million... I’d have to run the dungeon over 500 times!”

”You haven’t even factored in the depreciation of your equipment.”

”60 million killing coins is enough to buy several epic-grade pieces of equipment! With that kind of money, it’s better to put together a set of gear suitable for yourself. Once your Rank is higher, you can even sell it off!”

”Once more equipment is produced, the prices won’t be as expensive in the future. However, I estimate that the prices for swords, staves, and firearms won’t drop too much.”

”That’s true. Most players use equipment for those classes.”

Great Master Li Xuanfeng of the Qing Country Mage Association shook his head with a bitter smile and put down his bidding paddle.

Although he desperately craved this Elemental Stone, the price of 60 million had already exceeded his limit.

Lei Qianjue’s expression changed.

”Very well! Mo Feng, you’ve got guts! To think you made me spend so much more!” The sinister look in Lei Qianjue’s eyes intensified.

”80 million! I bid 80 million!”

The air seemed to freeze.

Everyone was intimidated by Lei Qianjue’s aggressive stance.

This was no longer a simple bidding war; it was naked hostility!

Inside Lin Fei’s private box.

Lin Mengzi said, ”To think this thing is selling for so much!”

”Xiao Fei, I still have over 20 million here, and with your 30-plus million, the two of us together have only just crossed the half-a-small-target mark.”

Lin Fei said, ”I suspect this place also accepts items for trade-in.”

Lin Fei set down his teacup and spoke within the box.

”Mr. Auctioneer, may I use items as collateral to exchange for killing coins?”

The auctioneer was slightly stunned, then respectfully replied, ”Of course, Mr. Lin. This auction accepts any valuable items for collateral or exchange, and we will have professional appraisers conduct the valuation.”

”Good. Then take a look at what this is worth?” Lin Fei nodded.

Then, amidst the astonished gazes of everyone, he manipulated a few crystal cores emitting a dark glow, floating them out from the private box.

”Zerg Cores, a specialty of rare monsters from the Tier 2 World! They can be used to craft high-tier Zerg-series equipment. These are core Materials and can also be used as energy sources,” a knowledgeable player immediately commented.

”I wonder how much these are worth?” Lin Fei asked indifferently.

As soon as these words were spoken, the auction floor immediately erupted in commotion. The auction house’s appraiser practically jogged up to the VIP seating area.

When he carefully examined the Zerg Cores, his eyes widened instantly, and his breathing became rapid.

”The quality is actually this high!” The appraiser’s voice trembled slightly.

He carefully picked one up and examined it closely, his expression becoming increasingly excited.

”Mr. Lin, based on the current market price, Zerg Cores of this quality are worth at least 150,000 killing coins each! We will buy as many as you have.”

This item was essential for crafting high-tier equipment in the current stage and was absolute hard currency.

”Alright, I don’t have many. Let me calculate... probably less than 100,000,” Lin Fei said nonchalantly.

Hiss—!

The sound of the entire crowd gasping in unison rose one after another.

Less than 100,000—how much was that? 80,000 or 90,000 high-quality Zerg Cores? At 150,000 each, 1,000 would be 150 million killing coins. 100,000 would mean the person in that box had nearly 1.5 billion killing coins. Good heavens!

But they didn’t know that 1,500 was also ”less than 100,000”!

Even Lei Qianjue in his box felt his arrogance instantly extinguished, replaced by a look of incredulous shock.

Although his Lei Group was wealthy, taking out tens of millions, or even over a hundred million in liquid killing coins at once, would still be painful.

Yet the guest in that box could casually produce rare Materials worth over 100 million?!

The auctioneer and the appraiser quickly exchanged a few words in a low voice and soon reached a consensus.

”I’ll start with 100 million.” Lin Fei received a satisfactory reply and then raised his bidding paddle.

He was determined to obtain this Lightning-type Elemental Stone.

”You in the private box, I don’t care where you came from. But let me tell you, I, Lei Qianjue, really need this item! Give it up to me!”

Lei Qianjue was clearly accustomed to being arrogant since childhood. Because his Family had power and he was spoiled, he had no manners. He had always been conceited and did not understand the rules by which this world operated.

He was the eldest Young Lord of the Lei Group. Because his mother was overbearing and unloved, he followed her example. Conversely, his father’s children born from other concubines actually had quite a bit of ability and breeding. After all, those children’s mothers did not have the backing that Lei Qianjue’s mother had, so they had to learn to read the room and mind their manners.

It was precisely because those brothers put so much pressure on him that he had a reason to be determined to acquire this Elemental Rune Stone.

However, Lei Qianjue wasn’t a complete idiot. Having blurted these words out in his excitement, he immediately felt a bit of regret. This wasn’t his home; who would yield to him here?

”If you yield to me, I can give you some benefits, how about that?”

”Not interested.” Lin Fei replied indifferently.

Lin Fei’s calm tone made Lei Qianjue feel exceptionally hateful.

”Fine! 150 million!! If you have the guts, then follow!” Lei Qianjue squeezed the words out from between his teeth, his eyes bloodshot and veins bulging on his forehead; he had clearly lost his reason.

He was a Fire-type Mage, and his spirit had been impacted by the fire elements, making him somewhat volatile. The guards and Family Elders beside him wanted to dissuade him, but he shoved them aside.

They could only sigh helplessly. This was the Nine Nations Auction; there were powerful big shots from other countries here too. And acting like this at the auction was truly too embarrassing. However, they dared not say anything. As the saying goes, loyal advice is hard to swallow; how could someone like Lei Qianjue, while in a rage, be able to listen to reason?

Hearing this, Lin Fei spoke again in a calm tone.

”200 million.”

”Damn it—! You’ve got some nerve!” Lei Qianjue nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

200 million!

This number had completely shattered his psychological defenses. Although the Lei Group was wealthy, as the young owner, there was a limit to the liquid funds he could mobilize. 200 million killing coins was already the limit of what he could call upon, and it would even require dipping into part of the group’s operating funds.

If he raised it any higher, he wouldn’t be able to answer to his father when he got back!

Of course, most importantly, the other party clearly still had the financial power!

”Fine! Fine!” Lei Qianjue gritted his teeth, his handsome face twisted with extreme rage, looking somewhat ferocious.

”You’re very good! Just you wait! I’ll see if you can safely take this Nether Lightning Elemental Stone out of Lan Country!”

”Young Lord Lei, please retract those words, otherwise, in the future, the Lan Country auction house will not welcome you.” This time, it was the host of the auction, the Secretary-General of the Lan Country President, who spoke up.

Otherwise, people might think this was his Qi Country territory. For him, a young master of a Qi Country conglomerate, to be throwing his weight around here was a disgrace to Lan Country.

”I don’t need you to welcome me! Let’s go!”

Crash!

Lei Qianjue kicked the table over. Then, surrounded by his Family guards, he left with a livid face.

Facing Lei Qianjue’s threat, Lin Fei felt absolutely nothing. He was just a good-for-nothing playboy whom he could crush with a flick of his finger.

Since Lin Fei had stepped into the Node Tower, had he encountered few threats? But of those people, none were left—the grass on their graves was already three feet high.

”200 million killing coins, is there any higher bid?” the auctioneer asked loudly, scanning the room.

At this moment, the entire auction hall was silent as the grave. Everyone was completely conquered by Lin Fei’s domineering bidding style and his wealthy strength. After all, a single jump was 50 million! Even the young owner of the Lei Group had been forced to retreat; who would dare to be so tactless as to challenge Lin Fei again?

”200 million killing coins, going once!”

”200 million killing coins, going twice!”

”200 million killing coins, sold!” The auctioneer’s gavel fell heavily, sealing the deal!

”Congratulations, Mr. Lin, on successfully winning this rare, epic-grade Nether Lightning Elemental Stone!”

Subsequently, a maid walked with elegant steps and delivered the Nether Lightning Elemental Stone, which shimmered with purple electric arcs, to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei picked up the Elemental Stone and felt the massive lightning power contained within, a satisfied smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

200 million killing coins in exchange for an epic-grade Elemental Stone capable of unlocking a lightning-type skill tree—in his view, this deal was absolutely worth it.

Because his farming of Zerg Cores was quite fast. When he entered the Great World later, he could just find a Zerg territory and start farming.

Lin Fei did not intend to perform Fusion with this Elemental Stone immediately. Such a precious treasure should naturally be saved until after entering the trial dungeon, where he could use his ten-thousand-fold enhancement talent to upgrade it to the golden legendary level before using it!
