Chapter 425: Chapter 363: Auctioning the Cultivation Dish, Creating Another Wave of Bidding!
Seeing that Li Zheng was determined and not taking advice, Liu Qi could not say much more.
Kunlun needed to maintain a certain level of purity internally, so even Liu Qi dared not arbitrarily make an exception to let Li Zheng join.
Otherwise, with the name of Kunlun covering him, others would have to think twice before making a move.
"Take care of yourself, if you really need help, send me a message. I’ll help if I can." Liu Qi wasn’t sure if he valued Li Zheng himself or cared because of Phoenix Mountain, but inexplicably, he felt some goodwill towards Li Zheng and didn’t want to hear of his demise.
"I will." Li Zheng wasn’t foolish; this was a goodwill gesture, and he saw no need to stubbornly offend someone trying to help him.
Finally, fifty different models of Technology Cups were sold for fifty thousand units of "human biomimetic organization" to the nation fond of surrendering, the "Night Rose" organization.
After all, their capital was called the City of Romance...
To Li Zheng’s surprise, he saw almost no bids from the two organizations of Nihong Country in this auction.
The internationally renowned nation known for its lecherous reputation was indifferent to such items?
Li Zheng doubted his eyes, feeling a small wave of shock to his worldview.
Receiving fifty thousand biomimetic organizations, Li Zheng looked at the few blueprints he had learned, and it would be much easier to create intelligent humanoids in the future.
"The next auction item is something everyone has been eagerly anticipating." Li Zheng collected his thoughts and felt a bit ironic when he looked at the virtual screen displaying the bullet comments.
Among the 200 participants in the auction, at least over 150 were thinking about how to control him and make him work for them.
Yet now, these schemers could only gather and wait for him to present the items they desired, unable to make a move against him.
"Advanced crop cultivation dish, though it’s only Golden Tier, it can grow all crops, including but not limited to agricultural products and plant-based genetic ability development tools."
"This device has strong sealing capabilities, which allows it to grow even some crops with stringent temperature requirements without affecting their growth."
"It’s perfect for cultivating genetic ability development tools!"
The reaction to the cultivation dish was strong when it was advertised previously, with nearly everyone expressing a desire to purchase one, all of which Li Zheng turned down.
The only exception was Misaka Tsuchiemon, who showed enough sincerity. Otherwise, Li Zheng would not have bothered with him, except for his swordsmanship specialization.
What is the most frustrating issue for players right now?
It’s the predicament of being unable to quickly reach full level after developing genetic abilities!
Few are willing to trade such development tools once acquired, even if they differ from their own abilities; they’d rather hold on to them unless others offer similar items of interest.
This situation makes it hard for anyone to enhance their genetic ability level, and without maximizing their abilities, they dare not recklessly develop a second or third ability.
This vicious cycle leaves some holding genetic ability development tools but afraid to use them.
Quite embarrassing.
Li Zheng believed that if he were to ask honestly, everyone present likely had a backlog of development tools, except for those organizational leaders.
They could use their authority to allocate their subordinates’ tools reasonably.
In a unique environment like the Matrix, they dare not openly embezzle, as getting caught by subordinates isn’t something easily fixed with an apology.
With the cultivation dish, the situation will be entirely different.
For example, Li Zheng, because he had mastered the blueprint for the cultivation dish, did not need high-quality development tools for experience but could win by quantity, reaching full level for a diamond-level genetic ability in just three days.
If this upgrade speed got out, everyone in the Matrix would be envious.
Didn’t you see Phoenix Mountain had to go bankrupt, selling out just to max out a Silver Level ability?
If not for the unsellable capsule housing, Mr. Feng would’ve wanted to sell his residence!
Players like Phoenix Mountain are not few in the Matrix.
Understanding the actual value of the cultivation dish, once it was introduced, the bullet comments surged, urging Li Zheng to start the auction quickly.
"Mr. Li, please don’t keep us waiting. I came to this auction for it!"
"Exactly! I don’t care about the starting price; I’m only concerned about how many units you’ll auction!"
"Mr. Li, do you have a significant other? What do you think about me?"
"Mr. Li, look at me, my bed-warming skills are top-notch!"
"Don’t let gender be a barrier; even the coldest man has a warm rectum!"
"Everyone be quiet! As long as Mr. Li agrees, I’m willing to bring the entire female guild into Mr. Li’s harem and be the groom every night!"
"Your guild only has over a thousand people, what a joke! Mr. Li, look at me! Our guild has thirty thousand people, with over eight thousand female players, ranging from lolis to mature women, from teenage girls to mature women, from A cups to G cups, ready for you to choose!"
"Pah! Who doesn’t know that your guild’s eight thousand women are good for nothing? How does a bunch of useless women have the face to cling to Mr. Li’s thigh?"
"You know nothing! Every girl here has been meticulously trained. As soon as you tap their waist, they know what position you want!"
"..."
Seeing the comments getting more and more outrageous, Li Zheng coughed, glanced at the "meticulously trained" comment, and saw a name in Thai script.
Automatically translated to: Chatchai.
Good heavens!
Li Zheng nearly choked on his own spit...
These over eight thousand "female" players likely have quite a few mixed with male hormones, best not to provoke them.
Then he looked at the so-called guild of over a thousand female players.
Another good heavens!
From the so-called "Soccer Kingdom" of Badong!
As for the reputation of women there...
Ahem.
Only those who understand will understand.
In comparison, the eight thousand warriors under Chatchai might be far more innocent.
It’s unclear where they found the nerve to mock Chatchai.
In Li Zheng’s eyes, it was just a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
"This round of cultivation dish auction involves a total of ten units, with a starting price..." Li Zheng reported a series of materials, all for producing the cultivation dishes, each quantity double the cost per unit.
Starting from twenty sets of materials as the base price.
This time, Li Zheng intended to gouge them deeply!
With the funds, he could then expand his cultivation factory.
"Thirty sets!"
"Thirty-five!"
"Forty!"
Once the base price was announced, no one had the inclination to banter; everyone began bidding.
Although Li Zheng only offered ten units, everyone knew what these ten cultivation dishes represented.
It was the opportunity to get ahead of everyone else!
Even Misaka Tsuchiemon, who purchased a batch of cultivation dishes from Li Zheng earlier, participated in this auction.
The few units he took back (Misaka kept some for himself) had given his superiors a taste of the benefits. This time, attending the auction, his superiors gave him strict orders to obtain another batch of cultivation dishes at all costs!
