Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 384: Typical Auction

Ye Xiaolu took a look around. Since any who got an invitation here was a respectable and, more importantly, wealthy figure, the place didnt lack bigshots like Lan Qianyi over there in front.

What stirred Ye Xiaolus curiosity though wasnt wealth, but the nature of the bizarre races of the universe unvailed here. They all could be traced to one form, humanoid.

Even the full body haired races were not exempt. While Celestial Fire race, Metal race, Wood race, Water race, Earth race, Devils, Sanguine race, Yang Demons, God race, these nine strong races were practically identical to humans, besides an odd quirk or two. 

Even the Nine-headed race, if their heads would fuse into one, theyd be taken in as humans.

The universes intelligent species, including beast races, like our black tiger cub, all want to evolve into a humanoid form.

They all wish to assume this form to become One With the World.

But we humans have a precarious status. We have this form given to us by the world, yet do not possess the strength that should come with it.

Before the ten strong races came to be, Heavenly Emperor ruled half the universe for tens of thousands of years. No other race in the universe will admit it because the power humans show is weak.

But this is all just a misunderstanding. In this universe, true human colonies are only one and a half.

One is the Primogenitor Planet, the humanitys origin. But that planet is now sealed. With no one going in or out. Even so, it is beyond a shadow of a doubt each human from that planet is a force to be reckoned with as they all used the humanitys complete legacy of arts and cultivation methods.

And the half part?

Earth.

Pangu escaped to Earth with a group of humans in ancient times. After terraforming its environment he also passed on many intricate and amazing cultivation methods. But Earth is a dump in terms of cultivation environments, a thousandth that of Primogenitor Planet.

Yet even so, how many legends have been passed on? River God, Water God, Demons and all other kinds of beings were spoken of in legends. And at least half of them are real.

As Li Mo and Ye Xiaolu talked of humanitys history, the auction began.

The anchor was a Dull Bug, the same one Ye Xiaolu and Li Mo saw before, Gu Zheng.

Look there. Ye Xiaolus eyes were sharp, instantly pointing out a familiar figure among all kinds of humans.

Batman Yu Buyi.

Yu Buyi wore a flashy suit next to a green-skinned yet beautiful woman. The two seemed close by the odd giggle.

Who? Li Mo asked, knowing full well already.

The one you talked about, the playboy.

Playboy? Where?

Go. F*ck. Yourself!

On stage, Gu Zheng dispensed with the pleasantries and brought out the first item.

A two meter long transparent water bowl with a mermaid swimming within.

Our first item of the day is mermaid Luna. Bidding starts at one million.

Ye Xiaolus eyes widened.

Mermaids exist?

Isnt there one in front of you?

Thats not it. I meant to say why are mermaids so looked down on?

Like slaves.

Not really. Just that this mermaids luck ran out.

In the vast universe, mermaids live on a single planet, Blue Water. It is a water planet with a depth four times as deep than that of Earths oceans.

And Mermaids live in those deep waters. Seeing them is a rarity and capturing one even more so.

Gu Zheng walked to the bowl and dragged the mermaid out by the chains, Mermaid Luna is 15. Her voice is divine as well. As you all know, a mermaids singing can not only bring peace to your soul and mind, but it can improve cultivation while also increase ones lifespan. Besides this, theres something else that makes Luna so special. Please observe.

Gu Zheng lifted Luna out of the water with one hand, the chain tightening on the fair Lunas neck, eliciting a cry of pain. She put up a struggle, then opened her eyes to breathe, finding no air. 

Mermaids were a peaceful race, uncaring about the worlds affairs and content with living by on Blue Water.

Gu Zheng pulled Luna out of the water and on land.

Luna soon dried of water and her tail turned into a pair of legs.

The audience murmured.

She is a rarity in this world! A mermaid that can walk on two legs!

Yeah, this never happened in a million years!

A high-quality mermaid! A million is too cheap!

Ten million!

Lan Qianyi started off.

I like her, she is a mermaid that can walk. Not just for fun, but can also work as a servant. Perfect!

Lan Qianyi snorted, I must have her!

Lan Qianyi, dont you have thousands of servants already? Whats the point of adding one more? With how rare mermaids are, letting you have it is a waste. Why not let me have it, out of friendship!

Huo Sangzi stood up, 11 million!

Huo Sangzi and Yan Fei were here.

Huo Sangzi, you ought to have hundreds of women as well right? Why must you fight me over this one? Not to mention, shes water and you fire. You two are opposites. Shes dead meat in your hands.

As long as I can have some fun, it doesnt matter!

Huo Sangzi had always been a horndog.

Humph, I only want her as a servant. We, Tamas, only like our own women!

15 million! Lan Qianyi raised his price.

The price alone said it all. Lan Qianyi wanted her.

Huo Sangzi shook his head and sat down.

Who wouldnt want a rare mermaid like this? Lan Qianyi, Ill call out a price. Dare outbid me?

Yu Buyi stood out.

Lan Qianyis 15 mil was already an extravagant sum. So when Yu Buyi rose, it caused quite a stir among the wealthy patrons here.

15 million and one.

Yu Buyi then sat.

Yu Buyi said, Thats all I have.

Lan Qianyi raised his number, 20!

Wa~

The crowd was stunned.

20 mil could buy one many planets!

Gu Zheng hammered the gavel and the deal was set.

Lan Qianyi pointed at Yu Buyi, Give her to brother Yu.

Wa~
