Chapter 1484: Chapter 1484 Reimbursement
The competition was so fierce, Lan Xuanyu wasn’t in a hurry to make a move; he wanted to wait a little longer to see how the bids would climb.
When the bidding price exceeded 150,000, the pace of increase began to slow, jumping by a thousand each time, yet showing no sign of stopping.
Lan Xuanyu scanned outward with his divine consciousness; the most frequent bidder was unexpectedly the same person who won the last Sky Harmony Crystal, the Prime Minister of the Celestial Harmony Clan. This Celestial Harmony Prime Minister was the most active in raising the bid, seemingly determined to win.
"171,000!"
"183,000..."
The price continued to rise, already surpassing the value of Lan Xuanyu’s Azure Ice Seal Godly Sword. Lan Xuanyu was a bit speechless; normally, it wouldn’t sell for this kind of price, right? It’s nearly doubled. In the face of impending war, these major clans were indeed making impulsive purchases!
However, these thousand sets of armor were indeed extraordinary, greatly enhancing the survival rate of powerful teams using them. For every clan, they were extremely valuable, except for the Dragon Clan.
The Dragon Clan has Divine Dragon Armor and can directly fight in space; their powerful physiques don’t need this level of protection.
"200,000!" Lan Xuanyu finally raised his number plate.
Before this, the auction price had just reached 187,000, offered by the Celestial Harmony Prime Minister.
When the price of 200,000 was announced, it instantly doubled the starting bid, and the originally fierce auction noises outside suddenly quieted down.
But it only paused slightly before the Celestial Harmony Prime Minister raised his number plate, "201,000."
Lan Xuanyu raised his number plate again, "205,000!" Increasing the price quickly to psychologically hit his opponent. Having participated in many auctions at Shrek Academy, he’s seen all kinds of bidding strategies, naturally knowing how to acquire what he wants at minimal cost.
The Celestial Harmony Prime Minister hesitated for a moment and instinctively glanced towards the Dragon Clan’s box.
He was a bit hesitant.
The Celestial Harmony Clan itself wasn’t particularly top-notch in terms of combatants, but within the Dragon Horse Federation, it was among the top clans. They had numerous members, their own armies, and a considerable number of warships. Their combined strength was certainly not inferior to the major strong races. Equipment like this, which greatly enhanced individual combat power, was their favorite. But most of the good stuff from the Xiti Tribe was monopolized by the Dragon Clan and Sky Horse Clan.
What is the Dragon Clan planning? Could it be that this batch of armor wasn’t approved for them to acquire?
Despite this, he was still somewhat unwilling and raised his number plate again, "206,000!"
"210,000!" Lan Xuanyu immediately responded.
The Celestial Harmony Prime Minister frowned slightly, feeling a bit dissatisfied. He stood up and walked out of his box, facing towards the Dragon Clan’s box, though saying nothing, his eyes showed inquiry.
In the Dragon Clan’s box, the divine consciousness of the Dragon Knights was extraordinarily strong, yet none of them intended to offer any explanation.
The relationship between the Celestial Harmony Clan and the Dragon Clan has always been quite subtle; the sheer size of the Celestial Harmony Clan keeps it strong within the Dragon Horse Federation. In some special occasions, they even have small conflicts with the Dragon Clan and Sky Horse Clan.
The Celestial Harmony Clan controls resources exclusive to them and, combined with their multitude of warships, they have the most within the Dragon Horse Federation. However, their top-tier combat abilities are relatively fewer.
Lan Xuanyu naturally felt the Celestial Harmony Prime Minister had walked out, so he also stood up and casually walked out of the box. Since he was participating in the auction, he naturally needed to go up himself.
As he walked out of the box, the Celestial Harmony Prime Minister’s eyes lit up, instantly seeing the stunning dragon clan girl who had previously appeared on the auction stage during the bidding for the Azure Ice Seal Godly Sword. A flicker of greed flashed in his eyes.
"Greetings, Golden Dragon Princess." The Celestial Harmony Prime Minister naturally recognized Lan Xuanyu, though she didn’t know him.
The impressive performance at the Future Rising Star Challenge had long made Lan Xuanyu a household name in the Dragon Horse Federation, hailed as the number one of the younger generation, with rumors even suggesting that she might be the next heir to the Sky Dragon Leader.
This time Lan Xuanyu’s direct appearance in the Dragon Clan’s box undoubtedly greatly elevated her status within the clan.
Seeing that it wasn’t a Dragon Knight but her who came out, the Celestial Harmony Prime Minister hesitated. If it had been a Dragon Knight, negotiations or even mocking might’ve been possible. But facing such a rising star, he felt a bit like backing down.
The reason was partly because the Golden Dragon Princess had an immense influence among the younger generation, virtually an absolute idol among the federation’s youth, and partly because she had already achieved God Rank and had previously created an unprecedented phenomenon.
Although the Sky Dragon Assembly had blocked information externally, it couldn’t block the intelligence networks of these top clans. They were aware of Lan Xuanyu to some extent. Her future status in the Dragon Clan would indeed be crucial, with exceptional talent and the acknowledgment from the Sky Dragon Leader and most Dragon Knights, as shown by her presence in the Dragon Clan’s box.
Being a prime minister of a clan is naturally not an easy feat. The Celestial Harmony Prime Minister smiled, "Miss Lan, nice to meet you. I didn’t expect it was you participating in the auction."
As he spoke, he raised his number plate slightly, indicating an increase of a thousand, raising the price to 211,000.
Lan Xuanyu smiled calmly, "Hello." She did not explain why she was bidding on these armors.
The Celestial Harmony Prime Minister sighed, "Miss Lan, you know our Celestial Harmony Clan really needs these armors. I wonder if Miss Lan could concede? If possible, our clan will certainly show great gratitude afterward." As the representative of his clan and the second person in the Celestial Harmony Clan, Lan Xuanyu was ultimately not a Dragon Knight, and such words were a considerable gesture of goodwill.
"Sorry." Lan Xuanyu raised her number plate, "215,000."
The Celestial Harmony Prime Minister’s expression changed slightly. This person really didn’t give any face at all! He squinted his eyes slightly, hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "In that case, I concede to Miss Lan. How about giving me a chance to host you in the future?"
Lan Xuanyu glanced at him, shook her head slightly, and said calmly, "Thank you." When finished, she turned and walked back to the Dragon Clan’s box.
The Celestial Harmony Prime Minister’s expression stiffened; from the moment Lan exited to the moment she returned, she only spoke six words in total. Hello, sorry, thank you. What does this mean? Did she accept his invitation or not?
His mouth twitched slightly; this young woman was truly cold and proud!
Nonetheless, he indeed didn’t continue bidding, being a prime minister; once he said he’d no longer participate, naturally he wouldn’t.
Ultimately, Lan Xuanyu won the batch of Shape-Changing Armor for 215,000 Sky Dragon Crystal Coins.
To be honest, Lan Xuanyu felt a bit of heartache over the price. It was higher than that of an Artifact! If only she could buy Artifacts instead. However, there were still very few appearances of Artifacts today, rendering any attempts to buy them ineffective.
When she returned to the Dragon Clan box, she suddenly discovered all the Dragon Knights were looking at her, with familiar Dragon Knights smiling broadly, even Sky Dragon Leader Jiang Weiqiang and Second Seat Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang seemed to be holding back laughter.
What does this mean?
Luo Lan gave her a thumbs up and transmitted, "That despicable dwarf is a stone in a cesspool, foul and stubborn, often disregarding even us. They rely on the resources we can’t abandon and their clan’s foundation. Now, he has been thoroughly defeated by you. Haha! Satisfying, just keep it up."
