Chapter 99 Interstellar Energy Seeds
“It’s finally about to begin.”

Looking at the huge venue on the first floor that was almost full, Feng Mo whispered with some anticipation in his eyes, there were more than a hundred treasures in this auction, and he had never seen half of them in person, so this was a good opportunity for him to learn.

The three women nearby also stopped whispering and turned to look at the holographic screen.

“Good morning, everyone. My name is Lian He, and I am the chief auctioneer here. I’m sure you are all getting impatient waiting. Now I will introduce the auction process to you. The auction will last for three days, with a total of 108 treasures. 36 items will be auctioned each day, divided into the morning and afternoon. I’m sure you have all seen the album.”

“The auction process has been introduced. The auction will now officially begin! Now, please welcome the first item.”

After Lian He finished speaking, she tapped the auction table with the small wooden hammer in her hand. At this time, a crystal table with a diameter of one meter appeared on the platform, on which was placed a storage device. At the same time, a holographic image of a starship appeared above the platform, which clearly recorded all the data and performance of the T4 destroyer.

Lian He paused for a moment to give everyone time to digest the information. About five minutes later, she spoke again:
“T4 Arrow Ant-class star destroyer. I believe everyone has seen its performance and data, so I won’t introduce it in detail here. The reserve price is 900 million star coins. Bidding begins!”

As soon as the reserve price was announced, Feng Mo knew that the final price of this starship design drawing would not be much higher than the reserve price. If it were sold according to general copyright transactions, the price of this T4 starship design drawing would be around 900 million to 3000 million star coins.

In Feng Mo’s opinion, this starship is only average. To be honest, 900 million star coins seem a bit expensive, but if it were the people below, they would probably bid around 1500 million.

Of course, Feng Mo’s lack of interest doesn’t mean that others are not interested. For the Starship Trading Company, this is also a considerable temptation, but its value will not be particularly high.

Therefore, when Lian He finished speaking, a number of electronic bids were heard in succession in the auction hall. These were all the prices offered by the crowd through the bidding system. This was just the beginning and everyone was very restrained. If they really came across something good, some people would probably stand up excitedly and shout out their bids.

There was nothing special about the design drawings of this starship. After several heads of starship trading companies made offers for several minutes, it was successfully bought by the VIP in seat 74 on the first floor at a price of 1430 million star coins, which was lower than Feng Mo’s estimated price.

After the first auction went smoothly, the following auctions began to feature a dazzling array of treasures, including T4-level combat armor, T4-level resource planets, T4-level planetary defense systems, fruits of life, female slaves, and so on, sixteen items in succession.

Especially the appearance of the female slave instantly made the auction reach its peak. This female slave was very legendary, a half-orc, a tiger girl, and a fourth-level genetic warrior.

She used to be the queen of the Orc Kingdom. She had an explosive figure and was full of wild beauty. Coupled with her former status, the transaction price was not low, 1700 million star coins.

“Dear guests, this is the last lot of the morning auction, a quasi-T5 star destroyer cannon! The reserve price is 2000 million star coins!”

Lian He’s words caused a commotion in the field, and countless people looked at the huge cannon on the holographic screen above the stands. This kind of weapon is not easily accessible to ordinary people, and many people would not choose to take a picture of it, but that does not prevent them from being curious about such weapons.

Feng Mo, who was in the box on the second floor, sat up straight at the same time. Among the more than one hundred treasures, this quasi-T5 star destroyer cannon could be ranked in the top five, and it was also the only thing he could afford.

This is not a true star destroyer, but a weakened version of it. However, its power has reached the quasi-T5 level, which is much more powerful than the two main guns on the Hurricane.

“Twenty-three million star coins!” Someone made a bid almost as soon as Lian He finished speaking.

“Twenty-five million!” There were quite a few people interested in this quasi-T5-class star destroyer, so less than thirty seconds after the bid was made, the previous bid price was replaced by a new price. For the next ten minutes, the electronic bidding sound continued to sound, and the price of this quasi-T5-class star destroyer rose from twenty-five million star coins to forty-three million star coins, which was already beyond its original price. Even a real T5-class star destroyer would probably not cost that much.

However, it is very difficult for this kind of weapon to flow into the market. There is no purchasing channel at all, so a premium has become the norm.

“Fifty million!” Just when everyone thought that forty-three million was almost the limit, Feng Mo made a bid. As soon as the price of fifty million was announced, the place fell silent.

“Fifty million. The distinguished guest in Box 3 is offering fifty million star coins. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?”

Lianhe asked three times in a row, and after getting no answer, she finally dropped the small wooden hammer in her hand.

It was similar to what Feng Mo had estimated. Even with a premium, the final price of this star destroyer would be around 47 or 48 million. I would definitely be able to get it if I bid 50 million.

When Feng Mo bought the star destroyer cannon, it meant that the morning auction was over. He calculated the balance in his own account and added the remaining 50 million star coins, and then transferred some star coins from the Storm Galaxy account, which could probably bring together 120 million star coins.

There are five items that Feng Mo wants to buy, and the Star Destroyer is just one of them. However, he cannot afford three of the remaining four, and he is not sure if he can buy the last one. He doesn’t know if 120 million is enough.

After leaving, Feng Mo did not wander around with the three women, but stayed quietly in the box. Lunch would be delivered to this VIP box, and guests could also order dishes.

After lunch, Feng Mo and the three girls attended the auction as usual in the afternoon. Although the treasures in the afternoon were tempting, they were of little help to Feng Mo. The special sessions this afternoon and tomorrow were all about longevity.

This category is not suitable for young people, but Feng Mo also thought of the ancient life-eating tree in his hand. He will plant this ancient tree after the T4 starship is fully built.

Feng Mo and the three girls did not attend the auction the next day. Instead, they toured the main star of Huiyao under the guidance of Chu Yunjian. The star destroyer that Feng Mo had bought had already been paid for by the Chu family in star coins and then transported to the Hurricane.

On the third day, the four arrived as scheduled and appeared again in VIP box No. 3. Today was the last day of the auction, and the finale items were always the best. Moreover, there were many treasures that made Feng Mo very envious. Unfortunately, the financial background was far behind that of the old families.

It was still the elegant beauty Lian He. The gossip that Feng Moting, Chu Yunjian and the other two girls talked about included this Lian He. It was said that in the past three days, many noble young men wanted to pursue her, but all of them were rejected. She told others that she was a lesbian and already had a girlfriend and did not want to be disturbed again.

This scene made countless nobles heartbroken, and they turned their grief and anger into strength. Even the number of women sleeping with them at night was increased from one to two or even three.

Moreover, Lian He’s identity and background are not simple. Those young masters had been warned by their families before pursuing her, and they did not dare to use force, so they could only rely on their own means. Of course, the crazy pursuit of these young masters was also related to Lian He’s background.

However, these followers had nothing to do with Feng Mo. What he was concerned about was that among these young masters, there was a man named Hua, who was a relative of Duke Hua who had transferred his file information.
