Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1501: Chapter 1498 Finale: Mouse-Shaped Alchemy Armor (Third Update)

After a fierce round of competitive bidding, the mechanical heart was finally sold for a price of one thousand eight hundred blue gears.

The buyer was a wild hunter, who, upon acquiring the item, left immediately in high spirits.

For those hunters who traverse the wilderness, nothing is a better body component than a strong mechanical heart!

This would significantly enhance their survival skills.

But this was just the beginning; soon, the second auction item was also placed on the table.

"A top-grade purple alchemy gear, perfect for embedding into alchemical items, can be upgraded! The starting price is ten thousand blue gears, let the bidding begin!"

Seeing this almost impossibly perfect gear on the platform, several alchemists in the front row all showed excited expressions.

Purple gears are rare, let alone something that can be upgraded.

Hence, another round of intense bidding took place, and finally, it was sold at the astronomical price of twenty thousand gears.

This time, the atmosphere of the entire venue was completely fired up.

The following treasures were all auctioned off at high prices.

The whole process was magnificent, but Xue An, sitting in a corner, remained expressionless, watching quietly without any intention of bidding.

Seeing this, Liu Jingyi frowned slightly, then seemed to understand something, and whispered with a smile, "Mr. Xue, are you short of money? It’s okay, if there’s something you like, feel free to bid, I’ll pay for it!"

Xue An glanced at her and suddenly asked, "Are you wealthy?"

"Of course! In the entire Qingshi Inner City, who doesn’t know it?" Liu Jingyi said proudly.

Xue An smiled.

This smile made Liu Jingyi completely dazed and infatuated.

But at this moment, Xue An turned back and said calmly, "No need, and it seems like what I have my eye on, you couldn’t afford."

"What?" Liu Jingyi was taken aback and then pouted displeasedly, "Mr. Xue, I hope you understand what you’re saying; in Qingshi Cheng, there’s nothing I want that I can’t get!"

Xue An simply smiled indifferently without replying.

Yet, Liu Jingyi felt a surge of frustration inside.

How dare he look down on the Liu family’s financial power? Fine, just watch and see what true opulence is!

Liu Jingyi secretly made up her mind.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the auction hall was already reaching a fever pitch.

Especially when an exceptional mechanical puppet appeared, it instantly exploded the venue’s atmosphere.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the value of a self-growing mechanical puppet needs no introduction, so without further ado, the starting price is one hundred thousand blue gears, let’s begin the bidding!"

Hiss!

Many people in the crowd gasped.

A hundred thousand blue gears, even for these wealthy individuals, was considered an astronomical price.

In fact, simply for a gear with a hint of purple sheen, Andrew was willing to fight, showing the gear’s value.

Such a price is unaffordable for the average person, but for those high-ranking alchemists who have mastered the secrets of alchemy, it is acceptable.

Especially since this item was an extremely rare self-growing alchemical automaton, so these high-ranking alchemists immediately became active, each bidding in turn.

Soon, the price climbed from one hundred thousand alchemy gears to one hundred eighty thousand.

This price had already surpassed the previous record for the most expensive auction, and even the wealthy high-ranking alchemists were beginning to show beads of sweat.

Yet, just as Wen Jinkui was about to drop the hammer, a faint voice suddenly came from one of the private boxes.

"Two hundred thousand, plus one pale purple gear!"

Boom!

This bid immediately shocked the entire venue.

Even the high-ranking alchemist who had bid one hundred eighty thousand before had a gloomy expression.

However, upon hearing the voice from the box, Wen Jinkui’s face showed respect, and he slightly bowed.

"Yes, milord!"

Having said that, he didn’t even ask if anyone else wanted to bid and directly dropped the hammer.

This scene caused many keen people in the venue to be quite shaken.

To make the famous sharp-eyed Wen Jinkui show such respect, who was the person in the box?

Even Liu Zhang furrowed his brow slightly, "What’s going on? Who made that bid?"

"Back to the Family Head, I’ve already sent people to investigate, but we don’t know yet!"

At that moment, Wen Jinkui took a deep breath, looked across the room, and then said in a deep voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, all the other auction items have been sold, but I can responsibly say that everything today combined doesn’t equal half the value of this upcoming item!"

Upon hearing this, there was a commotion throughout the hall.

Many who thought the mechanical puppet was the final auction item were dumbfounded.

With so many precious items not matching half the value of this final one, what kind of treasure could it be?

Wen Jinkui was very pleased with the crowd’s reaction and couldn’t help but smile, "To be honest, in my over a hundred-year career, it’s my first time seeing this grade of alchemy item! So all of you are lucky to be here!"

"Present the item!"

Following Wen Jinkui’s order, a few strong men clad in auxiliary mechanical exoskeletons struggled to lift a box and slowly came forward.

When the box was placed on the ground, the heavy thud reverberated throughout the venue.

Then Wen Jinkui approached piously and opened the box lid.

At that moment, a pale golden light gleamed and illuminated everything.

Everyone was moved by it.

Next, Wen Jinkui took a deep breath and slowly lifted the item inside.

It was a token radiating a pale golden sheen.

Then Wen Jinkui grasped it suddenly.

Clack, clack, clack!

With the sound of gears turning, the token began to transform, and in an instant, it turned into a dazzling alchemy armor.

No words could describe the delicacy and perfection of this alchemy armor.

The beauty of mechanics was fully manifested.

The helmet took on the form of a mouse, yet it still gave off a vast and powerful feeling.

There was a moment of silence in the entire hall, and then it completely erupted.

"My God, alchemy armor!" someone exclaimed.

"That’s right, and it’s the kind that can be bound! Such techniques have long been lost, so they must be from ancient civilization times!" someone murmured.

"To see such a treasure in this life, I can die without regret!" an elder cried.

Those high-ranking alchemists seated in the front stood up abruptly, their shock beyond words, their voices even trembling.

"Wen Jinkui, how much for this treasure?"

"Yes! Quickly, what’s the starting price?"

Wen Jinkui heard this and showed a slight smile, "Please calm, the treasure is so valuable it’s hard to measure with gold coins, so after discussing with the seller, we’ve decided the starting bid will be ten thousand purple gears!"

This price rendered the entire hall silent.
