“Let me introduce to you a mermaid captured from the west coast of the continent!”
After the host finished speaking, everyone stood up one after another, wanting a clearer look.
They took off the cloth, and there was a mermaid curled up in a transparent glass case-quite similar in appearance
to those mermaids in the movies. The mermaid was curled up into a ball, and no one could see her face clearly.
A person standing on the side pressed a button. An electric current surged in the small glass case, and the
mermaid inside rolled and howled in pain.
The mermaid’s brown-red curly hair floated in the water. Her skin was like crystal clear white jade, her face was as
delicate as a porcelain doll, and her scales were a mysterious blue-purple of the ocean.
“Oh dear, I can’t let them torture such a cute woman like this. Seeing her is like a gift from God.”

“I want to keep her in my fish pond and make her my precious collection!”
“Hahaha, I want to use her to feed my fish!”
Philip saw the mermaid’s misery from above. Several scales on her lower body even fell off when she was
struggling. However, seeing the frenzy of the crowd below and the fact that he had no money, it was impossible to
save her.
The electric current in the water stopped. The mermaid’s eyes were red, but no one saw her crying. She leaned
against the glass panel behind her, her body trembling constantly as if she was sobbing.
“The bidding starts now. The starting price is one million star dollars, and the increment for every bid thereafter
must not be less than 20,000 star dollars!”
The speed at which the price soared was beyond everyone’s expectations, but it was within reason too.
The bid soon reached 30 million, and the price was still increasing.
Some people had to stop bidding already, but even so, the price still reached 30 million.
The mermaid gradually calmed down. She could not understand the frenzied expressions of these land creatures
outside, but she felt very uneasy.
Philip sat back on the chair and lamented. Even if she was saved, countless more mermaids would be caught and
auctioned for profit.
The crazy behavior of those people below had nothing to do with Philip.
Gradually, those participating in the bid stopped one after another. Such a ty was not worth such a high price.
Finally, the price stopped at 87 million, won by a fat and wealthy businessman with a greasy face.

The auction continued, and Philip saw the first item he wanted, which was mechanical goggles developed by Black
Turtle Technical Institute. Although called goggles, the function was more to identify living creatures and their levels.
There were too many creatures on this continent. Even if one spent their whole life studying them, it was impossible
to understand one-tenth of all the creatures. This item was of no use to ordinary people but of great use to Philip.
“The starting price is 200,000 star dollars, and the increment for every bid must not be less than 4,000 star
dollars.”
Few people were interested in it, but the people in the private room next door kept competing with Philip, and the
price soon reached 520,000 star dollars. It was none other than Ayana in that private room.
Her elder brother’s child was about to celebrate her birthday, and Ayana wanted to give her this item.
The child liked to play with mechanical gadgets since she was a child, but there was an ignorant fool next door who
kept competing with her.
