Chapter 1430: 1329, return to Blue Star

“Countdown 10, 9, 8, 7…”

Since the bidding was too fierce this time, finally no one came forward with a higher offer.

“4, 3, 2, 1, 0!”

The countdown ended, and the final price was locked in at 550 billion.

“Sold! The Fourth-Order Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse goes to Miss Ashley! The final transaction price is 550 billion Holy Silver Coins! Congratulations to Miss Ashley!” Reitdoz declared loudly.

Boom!

Every city in the Hub was abuzz once again.

By now, nearly all the residents were watching the auction, and everyone was discussing it.

Messages in the Public Chat Area were scrolling too fast to read, but in other discussion groups, the frenzy over the matter continued:

“It’s actually Lady Ashley who got it in the end!”

“Who could have seen this coming before?”

“I feel like no one could have expected it, after all, it could have been any big shot winning the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse, but Lady Ashley was the least likely!”

Everyone felt that this was all too absurd.

If a Planet Level being had won it, that would have been normal since the dragon corpse would benefit a Planet Level the most;

If the Daland Military Chief or Executive Andrew, those kinds of big shots, had won it, it would also make sense, considering they have lots of subordinates.

But what about Ashley?

Her strength doesn’t necessitate the ownership of this Planet Level Dragon Corpse, and she doesn’t plan to build her own force, so was there a need to spend such a high price to buy it?

Cat Morning Star was also bewildered.

Perched on Su Yu’s shoulder, she muttered: “It sold for such a high price! 550 billion? Who would have thought it’d be this much before!”

“Yeah.” Su Yu sighed: “I thought that selling for 440 to 450 billion would already be high, I didn’t expect an extra 100 billion!”

At the same time, Stone Man Reitdoz sent a congratulatory message: “Congratulations, brother Su Yu, you sold it for a total of 550 billion!”

Reitdoz was now ecstatic!

That’s not just because it sold for 550 billion, but also because he had started calling Su Yu “brother,” and Su Yu did not react with annoyance.

Being able to openly take advantage of the Chief like this, hehe! Reitdoz felt completely at ease from head to toe.

However, he didn’t forget the matter at hand: “Brother, I’ll transfer the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse to Lady Ashley right now, and then I’ll send you the remaining 150 billion shortly, just wait!”

The reason it was “150 billion” and not “550 billion” is that over the past 7 days, Su Yu, with Reitdoz as his “mobile wallet,” spent a total of 500 billion Holy Silver Coins at various chambers of commerce to purchase all the required materials.

Of the 500 billion, 100 billion was paid by Su Yu himself, with the remaining 400 billion being footed by Reitdoz.

That is to say, Su Yu owed Reitdoz 400 billion, but he mortgaged the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse to him.

Now that the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse was auctioned off for 550 billion, once Reitdoz transfers another 150 billion to Su Yu, their accounts would be settled.

But Reitdoz didn’t quite understand one thing–why did Miss Ashley want to buy the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse?

Was she following the Military Chief on the same speculative venture? This was indeed strange.

“Okay.” Su Yu simply replied.

He glanced at his account balance, which now read 97.3 billion.

Adding the 150 billion, he would have a total of 247.3 billion!

Cat Morning Star also saw this number.

She couldn’t help but exclaim: “I can’t believe it! We spent 500 billion to buy materials, and we still have over 200 billion left!

Our initial plan was just to sell the Dark Thunder Dragon Corpse for 400 billion; who would have thought we’d have so much extra!”

“Yes, the income far exceeded our plans.” Su Yu nodded: “We’ll save this money for future expenses; there will be plenty of opportunities to spend in the future.”

Su Yu and Morning Star looked out the window, where the cheers of the Stone People were endless.

Now, Giant Rock City was shrouded by nightfall, but the entire city was like celebrating a major holiday, filled with a festive atmosphere.

Not just Giant Rock City, but almost all towns were the same.

This was an auction destined to go down in history. In this auction, a total of 5 Stellar Grade Existences participated, and it was even attacked by the Dark Energy Rebel Army!

Everyone felt like they were witnessing history, attending this auction was truly worth it!

…

A few minutes later, Reitdoz sent a message to Su Yu: “Little bro Su Yu.”

He was getting addicted to calling him “little bro”, feeling good every time he said it.

“What’s up? Did the 150 billion arrive?”

“Uh, not yet, but soon, just wait a few more minutes.”

“Is there something else?”

“It’s like this, Lady Ashley asked me to pass on a message to you…”

“Ah? She isn’t also looking to meet with me privately, is she?”

Su Yu thought about what Arya Sophie had said just before.

Arya Sophie said she would meet with him if he won the Dark Thunder Dragon, was Ashley thinking the same way?

“Uh, that’s not it. Her message was–‘I smell the scent of destiny on you, remember to be extra careful.'”

“I’ve passed the message, goodbye!”

“…” Su Yu replied with a string of ellipses.

At the same time, he exchanged glances with Morning Star.

“No wonder she’s at the Stellar Level, her nose really is something!”

After ending the chat with Reitdoz, Su Yu began to reflect on Morning Star’s earlier assessment.

Morning Star had mentioned that Ashley was skilled at prophecy and might have discovered their connection to the hymn through prophecy, which is why she approached them through the auction.

Now it seemed to really be the case.

If it wasn’t for the “hymn,” then what did her words mean just now?

“Blue Whale, what do you think about this?” Su Yu asked AI Blue Whale.

Could the hymn have been exposed?

AI Blue Whale quickly replied: “Admin Su Yu, I don’t think there’s any need to worry.

Ashley could not have divined the existence of the hymn; she must have sensed mere fragments, perceiving that you will play a role in the future at the Fige Hub.”

“What should I do then? Or rather, what should I be cautious of?”

“There’s no need to be cautious about anything, you can boldly interact with her from now on,” AI Blue Whale confidently stated: “The hymn won’t expose itself, it is in control of everything that happens at the hub.”

“That’s good then.” Su Yu nodded.

No matter what, it was time to return to Blue Star first.

Wait for the 150 billion to arrive, and then go back to improve his strength.

Who knows when the next visit to the Fige Hub would be, this matter could wait until the next visit.

“Ding!”

Along with a crisp notification sound, Su Yu received an alert about a change in his account balance.

Upon checking his wrist device account, he saw his balance had increased to 247.3 billion.

Reitdoz was reliable, and the transfer was quick!

“The money has arrived, Morning Star. Let’s go home!”

“Alright, let’s go home!” Sitting on Su Yu’s shoulder, Morning Star stretched lazily.

The first stage of the mission was complete! It was time to go back and have a good rest.

Moreover, in the past few days, she and Su Yu had bought a lot of specialty foods, snacks, toys, electronic products from the Fige Hub… etc., so they could play happily after returning!

“Blue Whale, purchase teleportation service back to Blue Star.”

“Understood.”

A few minutes later, a silver-white teleportation gate opened in front of Su Yu.

Su Yu said goodbye to the friends he met at the Fige Hub, then stepped through the teleportation gate, officially ending his first trip to the Fige Hub.
