#387 - Chapter 386 Irrational Behavior
"Everyone, I'd like to add another point of attention here." King Yama's smile gradually faded, and he said in an unquestionable tone, "Here, never question the Underworld, no matter who you are."
As he spoke, his extremely aggressive gaze swept across every private room, and the one-way glass seemed to become mere decoration.
Most people felt a sense of helplessness when they met King Yama's gaze, and in an instant, the discussions within the various private rooms weakened.
"Slow Sandglass, which can slow down the flow of time within a hundred meters, I wonder if this Mystic Artifact will do." A discordant, rough, middle-aged male voice rang out in the arena.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned to look at the private room from which the voice came.
King Yama, standing on the auction stage, reminded, "Guest in Box 12, please place the Mystic Artifact you mentioned on the table in front of you."
"Okay!"
Li Chenqiu in Box 12 responded with feigned boldness, and took out an unremarkable hourglass from the pile of杂物 next to him and placed it on the table.
Immediately, a ghostly blue radiance bloomed on the table, like flowing water, spreading from the bottom of the hourglass upwards, until it completely enveloped it.
At the same time, the shape of the hourglass appeared in front of the box in the form of a 3D projection, displayed to everyone.
King Yama explained, "Please wait a moment, we are currently authenticating the authenticity of this Mystic Artifact."
"Okay."
Li Chenqiu in the box responded indifferently, then leaned forward slightly, focusing his attention on the hourglass, and muttered, "High technology!"
Xiang Nanzhi glanced at him speechlessly: "Do you think this bunch of hicks in the Underworld can come up with any high technology? These are all kinds of strange abilities!"
Li Chenqiu smiled faintly, lowered his eyes to look at the ring on the auction stage, and a faint hint of heat flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Xiang Nanzhi keenly noticed this and asked, "What's wrong, you want this?"
Li Chenqiu nodded: "Yes, I quite like this Mystic Artifact. With it, it will be much more convenient to do anything."
Xiang Nanzhi said with considerable agreement: "Indeed, with this Mystic Artifact, it will definitely be easier for you to rob and plunder."
Li Chenqiu: ←_←
After a while, the Mystic Artifact completed its testing, and King Yama, standing on the stage with a smile, looked up at Box 12 and said:
"This Mystic Artifact does indeed have the effect of slowing down the surrounding speed. We give it a three-star rating. The starting price for the Space Ring is three and a half stars. Guest, do you have any other Mystic Artifacts?"
Li Chenqiu was about to open his mouth to speak when a rather haughty voice spoke before him: "I want this Mystic Artifact."
As soon as the words fell, two items appeared in front of Box 4, displayed by 3D projection: a gray cloth bag and a thin hemp rope.
"Beast Trap Bag, can..." That person roughly introduced the functions of the two Mystic Artifacts. After the Underworld's appraisal, each Mystic Artifact reached a two-star rating, surpassing Li Chenqiu's three stars.
King Yama looked around: "The guest in Box 4 has bid four stars, is there anyone else who wants to bid higher?"
"We..."
"Everyone!"
Just as someone was about to continue bidding, a voice came from Box 4 again, directly interrupting that person's words.
"I am Ito Toki, and I am determined to get this Mystic Artifact. I hope everyone can give me some face." Ito Toki in Box 4 said politely.
"Ito Toki?!"
Everyone present naturally knew this name, the youngest of the Ten Forbidden Fated Ones in the Ito Conglomerate, with unlimited potential and a destined ruler!
Those who originally intended to compete dispelled the idea after hearing this.
In terms of wealth, how could they compete with the Ito Conglomerate? Even if they were lucky enough to win this Mystic Artifact, it would definitely be at a great cost, destined to be unable to participate in the subsequent competition, and they would also offend the Ito Conglomerate.
Any fool would know how to choose between the two.
Ito Toki, sitting in Box 4, had a slight smile on his lips, and a trace of disdain flashed between his eyebrows.
The white-haired old man standing beside him said in a deep voice, "Just this once, never again. You still need to be more low-key in this kind of place."
Ito Toki crossed his legs and waved his hand perfunctorily: "I know, I know."
"You, alas~~~" The white-haired old man sighed helplessly.
Ito Toki chuckled: "Grandpa, you are too cautious. I don't believe the Underworld would attack us for such a small matter, unless they are out of their minds."
"It's always good to be low-key. Remember when I was twenty-three..."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, Grandpa."
Ito Toki hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt, then turned his head and cast his gaze on the auction stage, raising his voice and saying, "King Yama, since no one is bidding higher, then quickly finalize the ownership of this item!"
"Since no one..."
"Wait a moment, I'll add another Mystic Artifact."
Ito Toki, who was originally calm and composed, raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, looking incredulously at Box 12, from which the voice came, which was Li Chenqiu's box.
"Wind Shuttle, a flying Mystic Artifact that can travel ten thousand miles in a day, can be freely scaled in size, can be carried with you, and is extremely practical."
As he spoke, a round bottle cap appeared in the form of a projection in front of Box 12.
King Yama pretended to be surprised and smiled quite unexpectedly: "It seems that the person in Box 12 is also determined to get this Mystic Artifact. Please wait a moment."
After a short while, after the Underworld's appraisal, it received a three-star rating, adding to the previous Slow Sandglass, raising the price of the Space Ring to a huge six stars!
"Who is the person in Box 12? They actually dare to compete with the Ito Conglomerate."
"Could it be one of the other conglomerates!"
"Impossible. From my observation, this box number is assigned according to strength and status. The six major conglomerates wouldn't be so far back."
"If that's the case, it seems that this Box 12 is going to be a clown!"
The people in the boxes whispered to each other, most of them were not optimistic about Li Chenqiu.
"The guest in Box 12 has bid six stars, is there any higher?" King Yama held the Space Ring above his head, showing it around.
"I'll add another Mystic Artifact, Mind Chain. Wearing this Mystic Artifact on your body can withstand a full-force strike from an Eleventh Forbidden Realm expert once!"
Ito Toki said in a flat voice, each word carrying a strange coldness, obviously somewhat displeased by this.
The 3D projection projected the Mind Chain in front of Box 4.
"Please wait a moment."
During the appraisal of the Mystic Artifact, Ito Toki stood up, staring straight at Box 12 and said, "Did you perhaps cover your ears just now, and didn't hear what I said?"
Li Chenqiu replied lightly: "You're shouting so loudly, it's hard for me not to hear!"
Ito Toki narrowed his eyes, a fierce light flashing in them, and said gloomily, "Since you heard it, why would you do something so irrational?"
