The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God
Chapter 133 Auction Start"The first item for this lot is..." Venice set the atmosphere as she drew the curtains.
"This is a Looming Bird Crown, a Tier 9 growth treasure that can complement your realm."
"It's capable of providing protection against both physical and spiritual attacks."
As they gazed at the Crown shining within a sealed container, emitting a solemn yet domineering aura, the audience couldn't help but gasp.
"A Tier 9 growth treasure!"
"What a generous first item."
"I must obtain this!"
Treasures are categorized based on their types: Normal, Growth, True, and Initiate.
A Normal Treasure is one that you can utilize according to your tier.
For example, if you're at Tier 1, you can only use Normal Tier 1 treasures.
Growth Treasures are items that can evolve alongside your realm's progression, provided you supply the necessary materials for their advancement.
True Treasures are those that you can use regardless of your tier.
For instance, Maximus' core student token is a Tier 9 treasure capable of defense, teleportation, and various auxiliary functions.
Initiate Treasures are naturally born entities that automatically seek out and bond with their hosts.
This is also the strongest type of treasure, that can only be sought not found.
Regarding the distinction between a Tier 9 Growth Treasure and an ordinary Growth Treasure.
The former is already at Tier 9, eliminating the need for cumbersome upgrades.
While it will adjust in accordance with your tier, it will still possess crushing strength within that tier.
"The starting price is 1 billion high-grade magic crystals!"
"The bidding begins!"
...
Meanwhile, in Maximus' private room:
"A billion high-grade magic crystals?!" His wives were shocked by such a price.
This is equivalent to 10 trillion low-grade magic crystals, a sum they can't even fathom.
"This—" Maximus was also taken aback by the price.
"1.1 billion..." Before he could finish his thought, the first bid was placed.
"1.2 billion."
"1.3 billion."
"1.5 billion!"
"1.6 billion."
"2 billion!"
"Damn! Is this inflating the prices?!" The people below complained.
Although most of the people in the auction were Tier 8, they only possessed tens of billions in high-grade crystals in assets.
"Huh?" A serene voice sounded as if she had heard someone complain.
"Nothing..." The one who complained immediately apologized.
They had just realized that the bidder was in a VIP room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis indicated that the bidder was either incredibly wealthy or supremely powerful.
"Hmph!"
Due to this incident, silence fell and no one made further bids.
"Is there no one else willing to bid?" Venice queried.
"Going once..."
"Going twice..."
"2.1 billion!" A voice shattered the silence.
"Who's so bold as to bid against the VIP?" The people below whispered.
"Hey, it's another VIP"
"2.5 billion!"
"3 billion."
"Wow, they're battling with money, dad!" Lyla arrived with food, joining Maximus.
"Hmm, it's because they're wealthy," Maximus sighed.
"Aren't we wealthy too?" Lyla asked, considering that whatever they desired, their father would buy for them.
"Uh, yes, we should be..." Maximus wasn't entirely sure.
Although he had also consigned an item, it was worth only millions of high-grade crystals at most.
Yet if he utilized his core student privilege, the value would increase a thousandfold, resulting in billions of high-grade crystals in assets.
"That's great, we're rich!" Lyla exclaimed joyfully, munching on the snack in her hand.
"I want that too, Daddy!" Lyla gazed at him with puppy eyes.
"Uh, how about you choose something else later?"
Despite affording such items, he needed funds to purchase a teleportation quota later on.
"Oh, then I'll wait!" Lyla wasn't discontent; there would still be opportunities later.
Soon, the bids surpassed 10 billion.
"Who's bidding? So wealthy?" Maximus mused.
Typically, a Tier 9 growth treasure was valued at only 7-8 billion high-grade crystals.
"13.3 billion!" The voice rang out.
Maximus heard another bid, yet after a few seconds, no additional voice followed.
"Is there no one else bidding?"
"Going once..."
"Going twice..."
"Sold to VIP 7!" Venice proclaimed joyfully.
"Thank you, dear guest, for enlivening the beginning of the auction!" Venice bowed.
"Now, onto our next item..."
The subsequent item was a unique treasure, ranked from Tier 7 to 8, which didn't capture much of Maximus' interest.
However, his wives and children were still excited, watching each of them.
This also opened up the world for them, seeing many treasures for sale.
"Next up is the Love-themed dress set by Mr. Lauren!"
Venice unveiled an entire wardrobe of dresses, with designs suitable for children to adults.
"It's Mr. Lauren!"
"Lucky, I stumbled upon Mr. Lauren's masterpiece dress set!"
The people below scrambled as they laid eyes on the rack of dresses.
"Wow!" The girls in Maximus' room also erupted with excitement.
"There are so many beautiful dresses!"
"Daddy, I want that!" Lyla declared firmly.
"Husband~" Irine coquettishly added, using their daughter as leverage.
"Daddy~" Cyra chimed in, dutifully supporting her mother's request.
"Mommy, I'd also like that..." Serene contributed.
"Husband, as our daughter said~" Angeline looked at him pitifully.
His wives knew about one of Maximus' core student privileges, which multiplied his money by a thousand times.
Moreover, their husband was confident about buying teleportation quotas that cost billions of high-grade crystals.
Certainly, he could afford to indulge them with some dresses worth millions of high-grade crystals.
"Hey, who made me love you..." Maximus smiled, agreeing.
"Yay!"
"I love you, Husband!"
They smiled happily and showered him with compliments.
"The starting price is 100 thousand high-grade crystals!" Venice announced.
"Two hundred thousand."
"Two hundred fifty thousand!"
"Hmph! Poor things, one million!"
"Heh, don't flaunt your dirty money, one and a half million!"
The bidding was more intense than in the first lot.
After all, the first item cost billions, which many couldn't afford.
"Ten million," the VIP 7 who won the first lot said.
The auction hall fell silent suddenly.
After all, Mr. Lauren's Love-themed dress set was only Tier 6.
If it weren't for the design and the famous name of Mr. Lauren, it wouldn't even be sold for 10,000 high-grade magic crystals.
In other words, the design was so astounding that it propelled the initial bid to a hundred thousand.
"Crazy..." they thought.
After all, who in their right mind would spend ten million on something that costs hundreds of thousands?
"Is there no one else bidding?"
"Going once..."
"Hurry Daddy! Someone's about to snatch it away from us!" Lyla said as she shook him.
The other girls also looked at him eagerly.
"Alright, alright."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Going twice..."
"Eleven million," Maximus placed his bid.
Anyway, there's a 99.9 percent discount.
"Twelve million," the VIP 7 hastily responded.
"Fifteen million," Maximus was nonchalant and bid again.
"Twenty million!" The VIP 7 seemed hurried as her bid escalated.
"Thirty million!" Maximus, no longer holding back, increased it by another ten million.
The individual in VIP 7 clenched her teeth and refrained from bidding further.
"Who is this person? So insane?" She muttered
The individual in VIP 7 was Denice, Ella's aunt, whom Max was searching for earlier.
"Auntie, hurry and bid, they'll steal the dresses from us!" Ella urged.
"No! Your grandfather would scold me if he knew we were spending money indiscriminately on useless things," Denice sighed.
"What useless things?!"
"It's a beautiful things!" Ella retorted.
"But we already bought many things earlier," Denice sighed, realizing their pocket money was running low.
"I don't care, I want that!"
"Don't you have money? Why don't you bid?"
"Uh, no! It's for my dowry," Ella said shyly.
"What dowry?! You're just a kid, what are you thinking?" Denice was shocked by Ella's words.
"Hmph, I don't care, old hag!" Ella was too embarrassed to argue further.
"Tell me, whose pig are you seeing?!" Denice didn't mind Ella's words as she questioned her.
"Hmph! I won't tell you!"
While they were arguing, the bidding time finished and Maximus won the dress set.
However, even though the bidding had stopped, the shock it caused remained.
"Crazy..."
"The world is truly crazy, spending 30 million just for some Tier 6 dress."
"Hey, stupid people are really rich."
"Sigh, I wish I were stupid and rich too..."
Although they could still afford to bid, spending tens of millions on a dress set worth at most a few million was absurd.
Although the dress set was undeniably beautiful, it wasn't worth so much money.
"Wow! We won!" Lyla exclaimed.
"Daddy! I love you so much!" Lily also grew affectionate, hugging his arms.
While she appeared less active earlier, it was because her eyes couldn't leave the dress set.
With over a thousand dresses in the set, there were more than enough for their mothers and daughters.
"Daddy~" Lydia, who was usually shy, also regarded him with admiration.
As for the other two children, Serene and Cyra, they were enveloped in their mothers' embraces due to their excitement.
Seeing all of this, Maximus felt that it was worth it.
Anyway, with various discounts, it only cost him 300 million low-grade crystals, which was merely half of his monthly income.
Unfortunately, the guild discount couldn't be applied.
Otherwise, it would have provided an additional 70 percent discount.
