The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1198: Chapter 243: Value

There are many speculations about the identity of the founder of Star Ring from the outside world. The founder is very mysterious and never appears in public as the founder, even the high-level officials of Asgard are unaware of who the founder of Star Ring truly is.

Perhaps they wouldn’t recognize the founder even if they stood in front of them.

However, being able to establish Star Ring Company means this person must be remarkable.

Thor thought, perhaps this founder of Star Ring traveled the Universe and had an ‘amorous’ encounter with Xu Mo’s teacher.

Thus, there was an illegitimate child.

Hmm… that’s it.

Thor felt that he might have a chance to contact this mysterious founder. Surely, he wouldn’t deny his own son?

Especially such an outstanding son, Xu Mo is here to acknowledge his relations.

He must help Xu Mo acquire the Destruction Gloves in the auction to create an opportunity for Xu Mo to connect with Star Ring.

Xu Mo himself didn’t know that he had casually made up a reason, and Thor actually imagined a melodramatic plot.

“Let’s go downstairs for a drink, and come back tomorrow.” Thor said, wanting to have a deep conversation with Xu Mo.

“Okay.” Xu Mo nodded, the Destruction Gloves had a one-day exhibition, and the formal auction would be held tomorrow.

“Beautiful Miss Scarlett, would you do me the honor of joining us?” Thor asked Miss Scarlett ‘gentlemanly’.

Scarlett glanced at the two of them with a smile. What were they discussing?

She was a bit curious.

“Since Young Master Thor has invited, I must give face.” Scarlett said.

“Victoria, let’s go together.” Scarlett smiled at Victoria, conveniently having a female companion.

“Ah…” Victoria hesitated, glancing at Anthony not far away. Anthony had been watching them all along, and surprisingly, when he saw Victoria, he showed a flattering smile, nodding at her, leaving Victoria somewhat bewildered.

Xu Mo softly said, “Let’s go together.”

“Okay.” Victoria nodded upon hearing Xu Mo’s words.

Thor glanced meaningfully at the two of them. They said there was nothing going on?

Hey.

This brother Xu Mo is a charming fellow too, is it hereditary?

The group of four left, with Anthony watching Victoria leave. He was delighted that Victoria had mingled into the circle of the Odin Family’s Young Master and the heiress of Thunder God Technology. It seemed she had encountered a benefactor.

Many times, people just need a single opportunity, and once they find it, they may prosper. Anthony was genuinely happy for Victoria, their bank’s beautiful employee had stumbled upon a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

And Mr. Zeus was also a remarkable person. Despite his status, he was willing to interact and become friends with Victoria.

He could tell that they likely didn’t have that kind of relationship.

Xu Mo didn’t necessarily think about deliberately helping Victoria with anything, having previously purchased the Life Source Liquid as a way to repay her for past favors. However, since they happened to meet here, taking the opportunity to change Victoria’s fate was a win-win.

He quite liked Victoria’s character as well.

Xu Mo and the others arrived at the familiar restaurant they had been to before.

There were many people at the banquet on the rooftop of Star Ring, and Thor primarily wanted to uncover some secrets, so he chose another place to chat.

“Brother Zeus, where did you live before?” Thor asked upon sitting down, wondering if the Star Ring founder had met Xu Mo’s ‘teacher’ while traveling the Universe.

For now, let’s assume it’s the teacher.

“Which period are you referring to?” Xu Mo asked, “I’ve lived on quite a few planets.”

He was telling the truth.

“Wandering the Universe?” Thor asked.

“Sort of.” Xu Mo nodded.

“It wasn’t easy finding it, was it?” Thor said meaningfully.

Xu Mo looked at Thor in bewilderment, knowing what misunderstanding the other had, but let him think whatever he wanted.

“Endured hardships,” Xu Mo said.

Thor patted Xu Mo on the shoulder and said, “No matter what, Brother Zeus, I will definitely help you.” Leave it to me.

“What are you two discussing?” Scarlett asked, looking at the two of them mysteriously, having no idea what they were talking about.

“I can’t tell you.” Thor said, “Of course, if you become my girlfriend, then you’d be one of us, and Brother Zeus surely wouldn’t mind me telling you this secret.”

Scarlett looked at Xu Mo and, smiling, said, “Since it’s Mr. Zeus’s secret, then I won’t ask.”

Though she said that, she was actually very curious in her heart.

“Miss Scarlett, can you help us this time? Don’t let Thunder God Technology compete with us for these Destruction Gloves.” Thor said.

“You, the Odin Family, have won the most Star Ring products. Whether Thunder God Technology competes or not, it’s not up to me.” Scarlett responded. Star Ring Technology’s products are limited, and any item can enhance one’s strength, so all major forces will vie for them.

Even though Scarlett is the daughter of Thunder God Technology, she is not in charge. In fact, today, only a part of the people came, many of whom are from the younger generation, here to first check out the exhibition and then notify their families.

Tomorrow, the formal auction will begin, and more people will attend and participate in the bidding.

“Talk to your father, tell him to let me have this time, not to compete. Next time, the Odin Family will not participate in the auction, how about that?” Thor said. “This bidding is also to help Brother Zeus, and it will be done in his name. Besides, I’ve promised Brother Zeus to compete; even if Thunder God Technology joins the bidding, it will only raise the price. Ultimately, I will still win it, so there’s no need for that; we’re all on the same side.”

“Who’s on the same side with you?” Scarlett said. “But I’ll pass on what you said to my father. As for whether Thunder God Technology agrees, I can’t decide that.”

“Girlfriends are still better.” Thor said.

Scarlett didn’t bother to respond to him. Xu Mo said, “Thank you.”

Scarlett was even more curious. The Odin Family came to bid but under Xu Mo’s name. What was the purpose?

What is Xu Mo planning?

Victoria quietly listened, occasionally glancing at the scenery outside the window, feeling somewhat dreamy.

The people casually chatting beside her now were the Young Master of the Odin Family and the daughter of Thunder God Technology. Even if she is pure, she can see that Xu Mo being able to integrate among them means he belongs to this level as well.

She had a smile on her face, but the smile appeared somewhat bitter.

After all, they are not people from the same world. What was she hoping for?

Mr. Zeus is also a figure at the top.

The next day, Victoria returned to the company, feeling as if she had returned to her previous life. Afterward, Anthony directly promoted her by three levels. Life seemed different, but also no different.

But it became better, didn’t it?

……

In the banquet hall at the top of Asgard Tower, under the magnificent lights, the elite gathered.

All the top forces on Asgard Star were present, and clearly, there were more people than yesterday. Moreover, apart from Thor, the Odin Family sent another two people, but Thor had already briefed them. Today, it’s about auctioning in Xu Mo’s name, but in reality, they would provide the funds to bid for the Destruction Gloves, and ultimately, it would belong to them.

Although this seemed somewhat absurd, since Thor wanted to do so, they could only go along with it.

Of course, they received information that the Shenluo Group, Hakenan Family, and Duffy Family are all determined to get it this time, and it won’t be easy to win. If the price becomes too outrageous, they would need to reconsider.

Bern stood by the display case in the middle of the banquet hall. The spotlight focused on him, and he waved his hand, quieting down the banquet hall.

“Welcome, old friends and a few new faces. Today is the Star Ring Company’s auction. You’ve seen the auction item, an offensive and defensive piece of equipment – the Destruction Gloves. I’m sure you already have an estimate in mind. Now, let’s officially start the auction.” Bern smiled and spoke to the crowd. “The starting price for the Destruction Gloves is ten trillion Silver Star Coins.”

Ten trillion Silver Star Coins, equivalent to the value of an intermediate large starship.

However, if a Skywalker-level figure were to wear the Destruction Gloves, an intermediate starship would hardly stand a chance, so the starting price is not high.

Moreover, the value of the top-grade equipment is often terrifying because of its scarcity.

There’s a lot of money flowing in the market, but top-grade equipment is extremely rare.

In the end, money is just a number.

The population of Asgard Star is in the billions, while the Asa Star Domain, centered around Asgard, has a population in the trillions, and with Asa Star Domain being the Emperor River trade center, the economy is highly developed.

The wealth of the top family forces in Asgard has reached an immeasurable figure.

Trillions, in fact, are not considered a high value to them.

Of course, this is just the starting price, and the Star Ring Company never sets a high initial price for their auctions. After that, how much it appreciates is up to the forces to decide. It’s none of their business.

“One hundred trillion.” A voice was heard, directly raising the starting price tenfold, causing a brief silence in the banquet hall. Many people looked in the direction of the voice and saw a figure sitting in a prominent position.

Drew, one of the people in power in the Duffy Family, looked to be in his fifties, but he had a great spirit, his eyes were calm, looking at the Destruction Gloves.

This time’s auction, he received a task from above; they were determined to win the Destruction Gloves.

Behind the Duffy Family is the Church.

“What is the Duffy Family doing?” Thor whispered. Although Star Ring’s products were expected to be auctioned at high prices, it was rare for someone to directly hike the price tenfold—they usually go through multiple rounds of bidding, and doing this will only make the final price extraordinarily high.

However, Drew’s offer also scared off many forces. Those who still had fantasies realized they had no chance.

“One hundred twenty trillion.” Another person bid, this time a middle-aged man from the Hakenan Family, who was equally determined to win.

Xu Mo was speechless upon hearing this bid; top-grade equipment indeed was terrifying.

Following this trend, the final auction price for the Destruction Gloves could almost fund an interstellar fleet.

Of course, to top forces, the Destruction Gloves were worth the price.
