Chapter 2089 - 2082: Is It Any of Your Business?

"This..."

Two human Dao Realm pinnacle experts suddenly stood up, overwhelmed with both shock and ecstasy.

No. 0 had just mentioned that such an item might have dropped from a previous Beast Tide, and Zhang Menglong actually brought it out. The humans had become the lucky recipients!

"This is awesome!" Dominic and his companion almost wanted to lift Zhang Menglong up and kiss him. Such a precious item, and Zhang Menglong obtained it from a Warcraft. This acquisition practically saved billions!

Zhang Menglong’s actions weren’t very discreet, and the surrounding races immediately noticed the Fjord Siege Cannon in his hand. At this moment, they were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!

What virtue or ability did they have to possess such a treasure!

Even a First-class race would be very envious of this Fjord Siege Cannon, as it would be a formidable weapon to seize cities and territories during the Myriad Tribes’ struggle!

Such an item unexpectedly landed in the hands of a Fourth-class race, making even the Third-class, or even Second-class races hesitant to provoke the humans easily.

"It seems that humans are truly a lucky race," No. 0 interjected, "The race that created this Fjord Siege Cannon only made three samples and was destroyed before the second usage, so there are only three Fjord Siege Cannons in existence in this world."

"Enough chit-chat, let’s begin the auction of this second item. Its starting bid is 20 million, with each increment no less than 1 million Supreme Crystals!"

The base price jumped directly from 1 million Supreme Crystals to 20 million, but no one questioned the price. The Fjord Siege Cannon was worth it!

"This price is an insult to this auction item, I bid 50 million Supreme Crystals!" A Second-class civilization directly raised the price by a large margin.

"I thought you’d offer some impressive price; you think you can take the Fjord Siege Cannon for just 50 million Supreme Crystals?"

"Hahaha, they might as well kiss their 500,000 Supreme Crystals fee goodbye."

"Exactly, 50 million Supreme Crystals isn’t even one-tenth of the transaction price of the first Fjord Siege Cannon, they are just ridiculous."

The Fjord Siege Cannon isn’t unique, another one has emerged, yet its price is unlikely to match the previous one, but certainly, it can’t be bought for a mere 50 million Supreme Crystals.

"1 billion Supreme Crystals from the Night Singers!"

Zhang Menglong glanced in their direction; this tenth-ranked race had declared their bid!

With the Night Singers entering the bid, many top-ranked First-class races could no longer remain calm.

"1.2 billion Supreme Crystals!"

"We offer 1.5 billion!"

"1.7 billion!"

The prices continued to rise, until a race named the Apocalypse Tribe raised the price from 2.5 billion to 3 billion in one swoop!

This price caused a temporary halt, as many races seemingly decided not to continue the bidding war, considering it was only the second auction item and there would surely be more exciting items to come, so spending so much now could put them at a disadvantage later.

"3.5 billion!" came Zhang Menglong’s voice from the humans’ position.

The Apocalypse Tribe had thought the Fjord Siege Cannon was already theirs, and the faint smile on that adventurer’s face froze.

"What’s going on, didn’t they already have one Fjord Siege Cannon? Why are they participating in the auction?"

"One Fjord Siege Cannon is already terrifying, why spend money for a second one?"

"3.5 billion! The human race is truly wealthy."

"I can’t understand, how can such a small Fourth-class race have such vast assets?"

The adventurer from the Apocalypse Tribe flashed a look of killing intent, possibly recalling the tragic fate of the Rhea clan adventurer, but they were determined to acquire the Fjord Siege Cannon.

Even the fee already deducted amounted to 3 million Supreme Crystals, which is most of the assets of many Level Five civilizations; they couldn’t just give up. It was a bitter pill to swallow!

"3.8 billion!" they continued with a higher bid.

"4 billion!" Zhang Menglong casually raised the bid.

"4.1 billion!"

"5 billion!"

"You..."

This price was already very close to the transaction price of the last Fjord Siege Cannon, and the scariest part was that the fees alone had already exceeded 10 million Supreme Crystals, which irritated the Apocalypse Tribe.

If they failed to win this item, they would have lost over 10 million Supreme Crystals for nothing!

They were wealthy, but they wouldn’t play cannon fodder!

"6 billion!" they shouted almost at their limit.

"Sigh, what’s the point of raising bids so timidly? It’s just a waste of the fee, let me show you how it’s done!"

"10 billion!" Zhang Menglong firmly announced an astonishing price.

"Damn, are humans crazy?"

"Did their Supreme Crystals fall from the sky?"

"Just how much Supreme Crystals do they have?"

"Aren’t you touted as the most powerful intelligence race? Did you investigate?"

"Come on, why would we waste our resources on a small Fourth-class race? We have better things to do."

...

"Humans... I will remember you!" The adventurer from the Apocalypse Tribe gritted his teeth but eventually withdrew; they couldn’t spend 10 billion Supreme Crystals to bid for the Fjord Siege Cannon!

Even though they had already invested a lot of funds, perhaps they needed to learn a phrase, "cut your losses."

The price stayed at 10 billion for ten seconds.

"Congratulations to the humans for winning the second auction item, a Fjord Siege Cannon!" No. 0 couldn’t help but glance at the humans as if there were another pair of eyes behind it watching everything here.

"Humans, you have earned another chance to speak."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Zhang Menglong cleared his throat, seemingly prepared for what he wanted to say this time.

"Thank you, everyone, thank you all, everyone must be very curious about why we humans, who already have a Fjord Siege Cannon, would still spend so much to auction for a second one. There are two reasons for this!"

All races quieted down, ready to hear Zhang Menglong’s explanation.

The reason was actually simple: just to prepare more trump cards for their race.

If the Fjord Siege Cannon could be used in two fights, they would love to position a reinforced artillery regiment at their Main City’s gates. Dare anyone to invade, and they’d attack whoever came. This reason seemed obvious.

But how could Zhang Menglong offer such a mundane reason?

"Actually, the reason is simple!"

"The first reason, I have money, I’m willful, and I do whatever I want!"

"The second reason, none of your business, can you control it?"
