Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 1194: Chapter 852: The Intelligence Gap from Different Perspectives_3

Many people were dressed in black robes and masks, the kind that could prevent spirit perception and spying, but even more showed their true faces directly.

This group of over a hundred was at the very least World Breakers, and many could also represent their families and powers.

Among the Catastrophe Levels, eleven or twelve in number, all except one wearing a golden mask appeared with their real faces.

When Tao Yu and his companion entered, many nodded or made small talk with them.

“Director Newman, long time no see.”

“I know this one, the promising son-in-law of the Sun family of Starshine.”

“A disciple of the Saint…”

Although Tao Yu’s appearance hadn’t been widely circulated, being a Catastrophe Level meant they would surely know his identity and situation.

Everyone cast amiable glances towards them.

Even though there would likely be competition for some auction items, their faces still bore only smiles!

However, since it was an auction, most interactions were merely superficial greetings, without deeper exchanges.

In fact, the information about these Catastrophe Levels had mostly been collected and identified by Tao Yu, so greeting them wouldn’t be hard.

Most were elders of major family clans, even a Family Head himself with only one Catastrophe Level in his family was present.

Compared to the lively conversation among the Catastrophe Level big shots, the World Breakers seemed more tense and on guard, including those concealing their identities— all standing silently on the side, waiting for the auction to begin.

“Welcome everyone to today’s auction organized by our Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce, we thank you for believing in our reputation, and won’t engage in too much courtesy, so let’s proceed directly to the main event…”

Jin Steward hosted this event; there wasn’t much unnecessary formalities at this small auction, and it quickly got underway.

“The first auction item is two slots to travel to the Nephite Realm. You all have heard many rumors about the Nephite Realm, you can technically reach it by crossing the Endless Sea, but the risks along the way are palpable, with even a Catastrophe Level being at risk of death; it’s not worth the risk for us.

“And these two slots are organized by our three parties in a joint cross-border trade caravan; whatever specialties sold would reap easy profits…”

Jin Steward spoke endlessly, and indeed many were tempted.

However, bidding for these slots isn’t for Yuan Force but involves a commission cut, and Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce having priority in selecting goods.

The bidding is based on how much goods one is willing to contribute, what percentage of commission they agree to, and roughly what they hope to buy back.

This made the scene lively with competition as many, including some Catastrophe Level big shots, joined in the bidding.

“For some top-tier powers, these slots might seem ordinary, but for families with only one or two Catastrophe Levels, it’s quite tantalizing…”

The Star Killer commented from the side. One slot went to the Clan Leader who was the only Catastrophe Level present, who paid a hefty two-percent commission and offered considerable family goods to secure it.

This Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce could do nothing and still reap generous gains by tightly controlling these slots.

This method is even faster than farming and harvesting…

Many varied items came next, including different levels of Yuan Force items, mining rights, some real estate in the State Capital, and a few skills.

Tao Yu watched these skills with a keen eye throughout.

After deciphering the Life Equation, he could forcibly integrate some skills that hadn’t suited him well before, though with a reduced effect.

Even if the enhancement from some ordinary skills was diminishing, Tao Yu didn’t mind, especially since the skills offered here were quite prized.

He casually acquired three.

None were purchased with Yuan Force. Though most of the carefully curated disaster-level selections were sold in bulk, he reserved a few choice items and completed the exchanges easily.

For Tao Yu, it was practically a costless trade where both sides felt they profited.

Initially, it was just about seeing if he could lure anyone out, and now he reaped some benefits too, which wasn’t bad at all.

However, Tao Yu’s three purchases left the Star Killer lamenting beside him.

“Foolishness, you’re so wasteful, it’s not worth it at all.”

“You fool, I’m trying to make my name known and draw attention,” Tao Yu casually transmitted back.

“That’s not how you draw attention; let me trade them for you, give it to me,” the Star Killer implored, somewhat exasperated.

Yet he didn’t doubt where Tao Yu got such good items; reaching Catastrophe Level likely meant having had some fortuitous encounters.

“It’s exactly because I’m doing this in an unusual way, isn’t it more striking? After all, that Tao Yu, Saint’s disciple, surely has many good things.”

“Ah…”

The Star Killer wanted to say more but found he couldn’t refute.

“Let’s hope we can lure them out this time; otherwise, it’ll be a loss, then we’ll have to ask Xuan Gui for compensation…”

——

The auction ended smoothly, and the Gold Pounds had been printed.

Twenty-five tons of Gold Pounds were laid out neatly before them; Tao Yu directly used a small gourd-like space equipment he’d acquired from who knows where to store them.

“It’s just two billion Gold Pounds.”

Tao Yu mused, regretting that if two billion Gold Pounds were injected into the market, it would surely be noticeable, but not a major issue.

“I’m just worried whether within a year, they’ll find a way to detect counterfeit money; it’s doubtful, though, while supernatural abilities might help, ordinary people are still the majority…”
