[In their view, using more than 20 drops of Spirit-level monster blood essence to exchange for two divine abilities equivalent to a late-stage Spirit-level warrior’s strike was not worth it.]
[But you didn’t give up and also added five drops of blood essence, and the master of room 304. also increased the price again.]
[You keep raising the price, and one minute later, you raise the price to 50 drops of Spirit-level monster blood essence, at which point the other side finally does not increase the price.]
[Congratulations, you successfully win two Divine Skill Fragments.]
[A moment later, a maid brought two Divine Skill Fragments to your room. After handing over the blood essence, you finally got the two fragments.]
“So he gave up?”
“I thought it was some Xuan-level expert, but it turns out not to be so.” Su Nan sighed in relief.
50 drops of Spirit-level blood essence, equal to 50 Early-stage Spirit-level monsters. This price might be a huge amount for other Spirit-level warriors, but it’s not that much for Su Nan.
[The auction continues, and two minutes later, the old man hosting the auction takes out the fifteenth item, a one-foot-long short sword.]
[The short sword is ancient, covered in rust, and according to the old man hosting the auction, it also comes from ancient times, like the previous ancient blade. Its strength has long been lost, and only the material is still special.]
[The master of Room 304 quotes a price again, this time directly quoting a price of 20 drops of Spirit-level monster blood essence.]
[The onlookers are shocked by his extravagance, and no one is willing to raise the price. You don’t make a move either, and eventually, the master of Room 304 wins the bid with 20 drops of Spirit-level monster blood essence.]
[You notice that after winning the short sword, the master of Room 304 doesn’t seem to want to continue bidding on other items. After the maid brings the short sword to the room, he immediately gets up and leaves the room, walking towards the exit of the auction.]
[You see that he is a young man in his twenties with an ordinary appearance.]
[You didn’t realize that he, like you, is also an Outsider.]
“A player?”
“This guy is actually a player?” Su Nan was startled, his eyes full of surprise.
The young man had taken out more than 350 drops of Mortal-level blood essence and 20 drops of Spirit-level blood essence. If the other party was a native warrior of the Demon World, it would be nothing to take out so much blood essence.
But he’s a player, which makes it unusual.
“More than 300 drops of Mortal-level blood essence may not be much, but those 20 drops of Spirit-level blood essence are definitely not something ordinary players can offer.”
“It might be possible for players like Zhou Cheng and Li Ye, but others definitely can’t take out that much Spirit-level blood essence.”
In an instant, Su Nan realized there was a problem.
Looking at the information in the foreknowledge, he immediately thought of a possibility.
“The fact that this guy just walked away after winning the short sword suggests that the short sword was his real target.”
“It’s even possible that he was feigning extravagance before to give the impression that he had a lot of blood essence, so others wouldn’t dare raise their prices too easily.”
The more Su Nan thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
This could be seen from the young man’s direct quote of 20 drops of Spirit-level monster blood essence at the end.
There are typically only two kinds of people who would quote high prices all at once in an auction.
The first kind is those who really don’t care about the money, it doesn’t matter to them.
The second kind, on the other hand, is just the opposite – those who are almost out of money or unsure of themselves.
They want to take an all-in gamble.
If others don’t know their details, it’s easy to be deterred by them and not dare to continue raising the price.
“Interesting, does that short sword hide any secrets?”
Curiosity showed in Su Nan’s eyes.
Since the other party wanted to win the short sword, he naturally wouldn’t let them succeed easily. What if the short sword really had any big secrets? He would miss out.
Foreknowledge continues.
Unfortunately, the items he needed did not appear in the next predictions.
It’s only after predicting four more times, that the auction ends.
Taking his eyes off the Personal Information Panel, Su Nan looks down at the auction stage.
At this point, it has been auctioned off to the third item.
Knowing that the Divine Skill Fragments will eventually end up in his hand, Su Nan is in no hurry, waiting patiently.
Another sixteen or seventeen minutes pass, and the ancient blade from the foreknowledge appears.
