Chapter 1275 - End of the Auction (1/2)

The output of the large mine that Lin Yun possessed in the Abyss was comparable to the output of Noscent in an entire year.

Even if someone was capable of figuring out the technology behind that mana reactor, they could only watch helplessly. Deciphering the technology? What a joke. When dismantled, the mana reactor’s structure would be completely destroyed.

Lin Yun knew it, but the others didn’t. The mana reactor looked like a naked beauty swaying before their eyes, it was impossible for them to not have indecent thoughts.

Most of the people wanted to buy it in order to research it, but there were still a few people who wanted it in order to use it.

Just like the red-eyed, excited Wilder…

“Great Elder, how many purple coins do we have left? That thing will definitely sell at a high price. It’s fortunate that the Starry Sky Auction didn’t introduce it with the final items or we wouldn’t have had enough purple golds to bid on that mana reactor.

“We must get it, no matter the price. That thing is a special magic tool that can be installed anywhere on a puppet.

“That means that this mana reactor can be affixed to my body. With that mana reactor and my steel body, I could equip a few powerful weapons and double my strength!”

Wilder’s eyes were glittering with red lights and half of his body had already transformed into steel. His left hand rolled up his right arm’s sleeve, exposing a puppet-like steel body. Following his movements, the steel started changing shape and rapidly formed an armlet in which he could place the mana reactor once he had a hold of it.

Someone raised the price to 4,000,000 the moment bidding started in order to make others give up, but someone else raised the price to 4,300,000 purple golds in less than a second.

The price of the mana reactor rose up to 5,000,000 within five seconds.

Lin Yun calmly watched, but his attention was on Wilder’s body. He understood what the latter wanted when he saw his half-transformed body.

That mana reactor was truly suited to Wilder’s body. If the mana reactor was affixed to his steel body, he could become as much three times stronger if it was a good match.

This meant that he was determined to get that mana reactor.

From all the bids, Lin Yun determined that close to three hundred people were bidding.

“10,000,000.”

Lin Yun increased the price to 10,000,000 purple golds in an instant. Ten million was enough to make a part of the bidders give up, but there were still close to two hundred people who were expecting a higher price.

Wilder couldn’t sit still after Lin Yun’s bid and fiercely glared at him with red eyes. He then looked at the other bidders with unfriendly eyes.

‘Hell, do these idiots not understand that this mana reactor’s creator auctioned it because he was absolutely certain that the technology behind it couldn’t be decrypted. That Artisan is selling a mana reactor, not a way to research his technology.

‘Even so, these idiots are actually hoping to be lucky. Even that damned Mafa Merlin is trying to buy it to research it. That guy is an idiot… He is an Artisan, how could he not know that Artisans are securing their techniques? There would be nothing to study even if it was dismantled.

‘That damned guy will definitely fight me till the end. And with the other idiots, the mana reactor’s price will definitely end up being extremely high…’

Wilder gritted his teeth as he looked around and glared at others. He knew that only a few people were planning on using it, and they would compete until the end.

After letting out a long sigh, Wilder gritted his teeth and shouted his bid.

“30,000,000!”

30,000,000 purple golds was already too much for most people, only a dozen people were still bidding, but they would only increase the bid by 200,000 or 300,000 purple golds.

Lin Yun expressionlessly looked at the determined Wilder and sneered when he saw the latter’s murderous gaze.

“40,000,000.”

Wilder’s pitch-black right eye let out scarlet lights as he unhesitantly bid.

“50,000,000.”

Lin Yun appeared to be hesitating while Falleau looked worried. This scene made Wilder smile.

“Mafa Merlin, this is the Odin Kingdom. If you don’t have purple golds, f*ck off back to your remote Andlusa Kingdom and retire.”

Lin Yun stopped bidding and Faleau got closer to him, seemingly whispering something, to which Lin Yun kept shaking his head. A victorious smile could be seen on Wilder’s face when he saw that scene, he didn’t even pay attention to the three people still bidding over the mana reactor.

The mana reactor was far more important to Wilder than to anyone else here. His steel transformation could not only make use of the Rodney Family’s steel spells, it could also use some puppets’ abilities, such as their weapons.

Wilder hadn’t been making use of those so far because his spells were more efficient than the weapon systems.

After half a minute, the price had risen up to 55,800,000. The bid had been made by two families coming to an agreement and cooperating. As for Wilder, he straightforwardly bid 60,000,000, forcing all his competitors to give up.

Bidding 60,000,000 for a mana reactor wasn’t something a sane person would do.

The auctioneer started closing the bid, but Lin Yun stood up once the auctioneer said “60,000,000 twice!”

“89,500,000!”

Lin Yun raised his hand, looking as if he was betting everything he had while Faleau looked at Lin Yun with worry.

Wilder was startled, but he quickly smiled.

‘That idiot, does he think that increasing the price by 30,000,000 at once would scare me? That’s probably all his funds, it must be, judged from the way Faleau is looking at him.’

“Mafa Merlin, are you lacking purple golds? So miserly that you made such an ugly bid…

“90,000,000!”

Lin Yun slowly sat down as Wilder bid once again, and closed his eyes as he was perfectly satisfied.

A mana reactor he built during practice actually sold for 90,000,000 purple golds, which was 30 times higher than its auction price. It was definitely the most outrageous item in the auction.

Lin Yun stopped bidding after tricking Wilder and the latter naturally ended up winning the bid.

The worried Faleau also sighed in relief, but he couldn’t help looking at Wilder with sympathy.

‘What a pitiful guy, it’s merely Sir Merlin’s prototype yet he bought it for 90,000,000 purple golds. Is that idiot planning on using it?

‘There will be a good show to watch if that idiot ends up using the mana reactor built by Sir Merlin to deal with Sir Merlin in the future, he would be inevitably doomed.

‘He’ll definitely be blown up by the mana reactor…’

Faleau sat behind Lin Yun and lowered his head as he tried his best to remain silent, afraid that he wouldn’t be able to hold back his laughter.

Using an alchemist’s creation to deal with its creator wasn’t unseen, such an event happened in the past.

An Artisan died from his own creation, which created a reform in the field of alchemy. It happened even though alchemists would have usually been discredited if a backdoor was found in one of their creations.

Now, all alchemists would add a special command in their creations or puppets which would completely stop them from being used against their creator.
