On Black Dragon Mountain Island’s Nine Star Bay, beside Luo Feng’s residence, there was a wooden villa. Luo Feng followed the stairs to the third floor of this villa. The glass door at the top of the stairs was closed.
“Creak!” Luo Feng pushed the door open.
This was a room of nearly one hundred square metres. Inside were rows of computer desks, with a laptop placed on each desk. In front of every computer, there were men and women typing on virtual keyboards and checking various kinds of information. There were a total of 21 staff members in the entire room.
At the very back, sitting at the largest desk, was a young man who looked extremely similar to Luo Feng, only slightly thinner and weaker.
“Brother!” Luo Hua called out in surprise.
“It is quite lively here.” Luo Feng smiled as he looked around the entire studio.
“Mr Luo, hello!”
“Mr Luo.”
The staff members greeted him nervously one after another. These workers were all investment personnel who had been following Luo Hua for a long time. Because he was used to working with them, Luo Hua also brought them into the Virtual Universe. Although intelligent optical computers could provide assistance, intelligent optical computers and humans were still different.
“Brother, what made you come here? Come, let’s talk next door. Uh, wait a moment!” Luo Hua quickly returned to his computer, typed in a command, and only then ran over. “Let’s go!”
Beside the studio was a tea room.
The Luo Feng brothers both sat down.
“Brother, it is rare for you to come while I am working.” Luo Hua smiled.
“That is because of something.” Luo Feng smiled. “Tomorrow is the day the Qian Wu Auction, held once every three years, begins.”
“Qian Wu Auction?” Luo Hua was stunned, then immediately showed excitement and said, “Is it the legendary highest level auction of our Qian Wu Universe Country? The last time I was chatting with an investor, he mentioned it. I heard the requirements to participate in that auction are extremely high!”
“The minimum requirement is a three star customer.” Luo Feng nodded.
“Damn!” Luo Hua widened his eyes. “A three star customer? This auction is on such a high level!”
Three star customers were extremely rare across the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.
Every single one of them was a major figure!
Luo Feng smiled and said, “I came here because I wanted to ask how the two trillion universe coins I gave you two years ago have been doing.”
“Speaking of that…” Luo Hua revealed an excited and emotional expression, then said quickly, “Two trillion universe coins, even in the investment market of the universe, are considered a large amount of capital in many investment fields! Large capital has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can influence the market to a certain extent. The disadvantage is that it is not flexible enough. Sometimes, when you want to sell, you cannot sell immediately.”
“During last year’s operations, I earned as much as 50% at the highest point, but there were also times when I lost money. Overall, I neither gained nor lost anything. It can be considered accumulating experience in operating large amounts of capital and improving my investment strategy.”
“This year, at its peak, the capital reached 3.6 trillion universe coins. However, the market has not been good recently, so the assets have fallen to 3 trillion universe coins. But there is no need to rush. The market needs time to develop. Right now, I am just waiting for the market to explode.” Luo Hua smiled.
Luo Feng nodded. “I need money now. How much can you take out?”
“If you need money, then I have to sell assets. After all, my assets are not cash.” Luo Hua said seriously. “But if I sell now, brother, to be honest, I have completed my entire layout over the past six months. Now I am just waiting for the market to explode and make a huge profit. Selling now… really, really would not be worthwhile. However, if you urgently need it, I can sell everything within one day. But such a large scale sale could easily cause prices to fall. I estimate I could obtain around 2.8 trillion universe coins in cash, which would already be quite good.”
“Oh…”
Luo Feng nodded. “No rush. This auction will last for 10 days. If I do not have enough money, I will contact you.”
“Alright.” Luo Hua nodded.
The largest grand event in the entire Qian Wu Universe Country, the Qian Wu Auction!
Held once every three years, Luo Feng had long been looking forward to it.
“Brother, I will always be online. If you need to raise money, notify me immediately. I will immediately sell assets and convert them into cash. If you are really in a hurry, I have already spoken with a friend. At that time, I can urgently borrow funds, using my investment capital as collateral.” Luo Hua said.
“Luo Feng.” Xu Xin smiled from the side. “Remember to tell me about the auction afterwards. I am also very curious about the greatest event in the Qian Wu Universe Country.”
Luo Feng nodded, said goodbye to his parents, wife, younger brother, and the others, then directly left the Nine Star Bay residential area.
He summoned a Pegasus and rode it to the ‘transmission point’.
“Transmission.” Luo Feng stood inside the transmission point, holding the invitation letter for the Qian Wu Auction.
Whoosh!
Luo Feng instantly disappeared from Black Dragon Mountain Island and was transported to a suspended city above the ‘Qian Wu Continent’. The invitation letter emitted points of light, causing the suspended city’s defences to automatically open a passage and allow Luo Feng to enter.
…
This was an extremely elegant floating land surrounded by clouds and mist. The scenery of the suspended city was beautiful, with flowers, grass, and plants everywhere. The most dazzling structure in the entire suspended city was the enormous building, the auction hall!
The Qian Wu Auction, held once every three years, was always held in this auction hall!
“Sir, welcome to this year’s Qian Wu Auction. This is your seat number.”
“Miss, welcome to this year’s Qian Wu Auction. This is your seat number.”
Many people wearing either luxurious or ancient clothing arrived. Some had snake-like bodies, while others were seven or eight metres tall and incredibly sturdy. The people attending the Qian Wu Universe Auction were simply countless. At the entrance of the auction hall, two long queues had already formed, and everyone was waiting to enter.
“So many three star customers?” Luo Feng also queued. In front of him stood a cold tower-like giant whose entire body seemed to be burning like flames. Behind Luo Feng stood a gloomy dwarf only one metre tall with three eyes. Yet the naturally released aura of strength from both of them caused Luo Feng to feel pressure.
“Three star customers are almost all World Lords! Only a very small number are wealthy merchants or young people with extraordinary backgrounds.” Babata’s voice echoed in Luo Feng’s mind.
“Almost all World Lords?”
Luo Feng looked around.
The two queues already contained at least several thousand people.
Several thousand World Lords?
“The auction hall has 16 entrances in total. That means it is not only this entrance where people are queuing. The other fifteen entrances are also crowded. Right now, the number of World Lords waiting in line is probably around one hundred thousand.” Babata said.
“One hundred thousand?” Luo Feng’s eyes widened.
One hundred thousand World Lords?
That was insane.
“Puta, the previous auction had more than 1.31 million participants. Do you think this one will exceed that?” The tower-like giant in front of Luo Feng, whose entire body looked like burning flames, spoke in a deep voice.
“Hmm, definitely. I heard that this year there will be a place to enter the ‘Initial Universe’ for enlightenment. This place… is a World Lord level quota. The highest level allowed is World Lords entering for comprehension. Many Immortal experts have come here hoping to buy this quota. Because of this quota alone, there will definitely be many more World Lords attending this time.” The man in front of the tower-like giant, whose entire body was covered in robes, spoke hoarsely.
Luo Feng was stunned.
1.31 million?
Initial Universe?
While waiting in line, he often heard discussions among the surrounding World Lords. The topics they discussed left Luo Feng somewhat dazed, because many things they talked about were completely unfamiliar to him.
For example:
“This time in the Star Region Secret Realm, the 18 World Lords who went together with us, only three were lucky enough to come back. The other 15… perhaps they may return after tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of years. Or perhaps they will never return.”
“Your Tuo Ta Legion made great contributions on the Extraterritorial Battlefield this time. Congratulations.”
Some World Lords knew each other and discussed various topics, but Luo Feng could only blink and remain silent.
“Brother, which family or organisation are you from?” A lean one eyed man from a nearby queue smiled and greeted Luo Feng.
“No family, no organisation.” Luo Feng answered directly.
“Oh!”
The one eyed man nodded and did not ask further.
Simply from their aura, one could actually estimate the strength of many people nearby. The large group of World Lords around them quickly noticed that Luo Feng was probably a relatively weak youngster. However, in such an occasion, the weaker someone appeared, the less they could offend that person. Because someone who could become a three star customer despite being weak usually had an extremely terrifying background!
“Sir, welcome to this year’s Qian Wu Auction. This is your seat number.”
Luo Feng accepted a token and saw that the black token had a semi transparent screen. On the screen was a seat number:
knd99286.
…
“So huge!” After entering the auction hall, Luo Feng was almost stunned.
The entire auction hall was like Earth’s ‘football stadium’. The surrounding stands were densely packed… but the number of seats in this auction hall was simply enormous.
“There are a total of three million seats here. Each seat is six metres wide and ten metres high.” Babata’s voice sounded in Luo Feng’s mind.
Luo Feng nodded.
Each seat was six metres wide and ten metres high. What kind of enormous seats were these? With a total of three million seats arranged in countless circles, the end could not be seen at a glance. It was as if an entire world had been formed from countless seats. The large design was mainly prepared for customers with huge bodies.
“knd99286.” Luo Feng saw the number engraved on his seat and sat down.
A seat six metres wide was larger than his own bed.
Countless seats…
The voices of discussion throughout the auction hall echoed, as if countless gods were conversing.
“So many World Lords?” Luo Feng held his breath.
“The Qian Wu Universe Country has more than thirteen thousand star regions. The Black Dragon Mountain Star Region alone has nearly one hundred World Lords. Therefore, the entire Qian Wu Universe Country… on average, has more than one hundred thousand World Lords. In reality, because many Immortal existences teach their disciples, the probability of producing World Lords in the Qian Wu Universe Country is higher. The total number of World Lords in the entire Qian Wu Universe Country is several million.”
Luo Feng felt his heartbeat accelerate.
Several million World Lords?
The Qian Wu Universe Country truly deserved to be called a ‘Universe Country’. Such a universe nation was simply too vast.
