Are the private rooms on the upper levels open to the public?" Fongo inquired, glancing upwards.
The number of attendees was considerable, and having a private room would indeed offer some privacy for their group.
The ferry attendant responded, "Sir, the second floor private rooms are open to the public with prices ranging from 1,500 to 5,000 depending on the room.
The prices are quite steep.
I'll take one," Fonghao decided.
The ferry at the front desk verified the reservation details, revealing that only two corner rooms remained available.
Fongo selected one on the left side and paid 1,500.
He then ascended to the second floor via a lavishly decorated magical elevator.
Upon entering the private room, the fairy provided a brief introduction before turning to leave.
The room spanned approximately 40 square me, not particularly large, but exquisitely decorated.
Fongo understood why this room had not been reserved.
From the window, one could enjoy an elevated view of the entire auction floor and stage.
Yet a third of the view was obstructed by the building's support columns, significantly detracting from the overall experience.
As more guests entered, the lights outside the third and fourth floor private rooms illuminated one by one, indicating the arrival of esteemed patrons within.
The third and fourth floors are not open to the public.
Only individuals of the elite echelon within the area are permitted in the private rooms.
A few individuals engaged in conversation for a while, but soon the lights in the main hall abruptly extinguished, leaving only the stage illuminated, capturing everyone's attention.
The auctioneer made their entrance, exchanged a few pleasantries, and swiftly presented the first item for bidding, an orange quality battle axe, imbued with fire attribute damage.
In this realm, orange weapons hold a status akin to minor artifacts as superior grade weapons are either legendary or monopolized by select few powerful factions, rendering them unattainable to the general populace.
Thus, orange items have become the pinnacle of tradable equipment available in the market.
As the auctioneer announced an initial low price, bids began to fervently emerge from the crowd.
1,350,000 1,400,000 1,450,000 echoed throughout the hall.
However, Fong Hao did not gaze at the battle axe.
Instead, he was captivated by the spotlight on stage and the peculiar microphone before the auctioneer.
"What's happening here? Is there a power source or those lights?" Fonhow inquired.
Lorena glanced over and softly responded.
It must be a product of goblin technology.
They excel in creating such peculiar contraptions.
After all, Lorena had more exposure to such matters.
Goblins, those little fellows in suits.
How do you think they have survived on this continent and attain their current status? Lorena continued, "This revelation left Fong how somewhat astonished.
Not by the presence of spotlights, but by the notion that such seemingly electrical products were crafted by goblins.
" "Well, that's quite enlightening," Fonhow remarked.
Ultimately, the orange battle axe was purchased for 3 million by a being resembling a stone giant.
Such weapons attracted bids primarily from towering individuals, while those of smaller stature, including humans, refrained from participating, making it a niche item.
The first item garnered a commendable price, prompting the auctioneer to swiftly present the second and third items, all of which were promptly sold without any items remaining unsold.
Uninterested in the auction, Fong Hao and his companions chatted and enjoyed complimentary snacks as the proceedings continued.
Soon the auction reached its 10th round, unveiling the 10th item, the construction blueprint for a magical energy reactor.
It is well known that all products of Goblin Technology rely on magical energy for power.
This marked the first time the Trade Alliance offered reactor blueprints for sale with a starting bid of 10 million in increments of no less than 1 million.
The auctioneer announced loudly through the microphone.
Hearing this, Fong Ha, who had been reclining, abruptly sat up, "What is this? Are they selling a power plant?" Chapter 396.
The tears of Yasha.
Happy New Year to everyone.
I have just gathered some insights from Lorena about the intricacies of goblin technology.
The dimminionative and combat inept goblins have attained their current standing on this continent through their intellect and innovations centered around the magical energy core.
These inventions are collectively referred to as goblin technology.
The magical energy reactor also known as the magical energy core serves as the foundation of this technology.
Akin to a power station in a manner that Fong how can comprehend.
The supplementary goblin technological products function like electrical appliances.
relying on a magical energy reactor to generate energy for their operation.
This reactor is not shrouded in secrecy, and various races are well aware of its existence.
However, presenting it as a commodity for sale is a novel occurrence.
Upon hearing the auctioneers's eloquent exposition, a brief silence enveloped the room as attendees exchange glances.
Yet, no one dared to place a bid.
Everyone recognized the reactor's utility and understood its intrinsic worth.
Nevertheless, the magical energy reactor constitutes the core energy source of goblin technology, and the development of the race is present does not hinge upon it.
Whether it would retain value post purchase remains uncertain.
Even with one or two goblin products, they would require a replacement energy core to sustain functionality, and spending millions on mere blueprints seems imprudent.
For the local factions, it is debatable whether they could even construct the reactor as per the schematics.
The host exuded confidence, yet the atmosphere felt somewhat stagnant.
"Esteemed guests, we will soon be offering more magical energy products.
This is indeed a rare opportunity," the host proclaimed once more.
At that moment, a voice leisurely emerged from a private chamber on the third floor.
11 million.
The utterance sparked a commotion throughout the venue.
For the majority present, this sum was astronomical.
While it was known that affluent patrons would emerge, the casual mention of such a figure still astonished many.
12 million, shouted another from the fourth floor.
13 million, 14 million, 15 million.
The bids escalated rapidly, reaching an astonishing 20 million, with the once quiet chambers on the third and fourth floors now fervently competing.
Fong Hao had initially harbored some interest.
Such a modern energy source could significantly enhance the conditions in his territory.
By replacing manual labor, it could provide essential support.
However, upon the figure soaring to 20 million, he found himself relegated to the role of a mere observer.
The price had become excessively steep, and acquiring at such a cost would not necessarily prove advantageous.
Having learned about the reactor, he resolved to seek out blueprints gradually.
Perhaps one day he might uncover them from a treasure chest, thereby reaping a windfall of 20 million.
Ultimately, a private chamber on the fourth floor secured the blueprint for 25 million, leaving the onlookers astounded by the wealth of those involved.
The auction continued with servers delivering pastries and beverages midway.
In the 17th round of bidding, Fongghow acquired a vibrant orange quality organ jar for a total of 5,100,000 battle coins.
This fortunate acquisition was due to the absence of competitors, allowing him to secure the item with a mere 10,000 increment on a low initial price.
The organ jar is a unique magical artifact of the immortal undead designed to preserve the organs of formidable beings, thereby bestowing enhancements to troops.
Currently, there are only two organ jars within the territory.
one containing the resurrection organs of the blood clan and the other preserving the lightning fast organs of marine species.
Fonggho had anticipated competition during the bidding process only to discover that he was the sole bidder.
Even the legendary bone king Odysius did not participate in this auction.
Before long, a gentle knock at the door announced the arrival of a servant bearing a wooden box.
With utmost respect, he declared, "Sir, this is the item you purchased.
Very well.
Place it here," Fong Hao replied, sliding the prepared battle card towards the servant.
The servant carefully set down the organ jar and conducted a thorough verification.
Once confirmed, he bowed slightly and exited the room.
Fong how opened the upright wooden box, revealing the familiar shape of the organ jar within.
Organ jar quality orange category.
Magical container ability mastery of slaughter.
Slaughter mastery.
For every enemy slain within 3 seconds, attack power increases by 100, attack speed by a 75.
Description: In the endless darkness, the death raven cloaked in black feathers seeks its prey, plunging into enemy camps and instilling terror in the hearts of its victims.
Reveling in the wild ecstasy that slaughter brings.
