Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy

Chapter 285: Chapter 61: Bai Guyue (Celebrating Protector He at the Ran Family Dam)

(Congratulations to the newly promoted protector “Ran Family Dike”! Here’s an additional update as a gift.)

Heart-locking Grass and Purple Flame Ganoderma, these were the unexpected surprises of this auction!

This meant she could now fully proceed with her crucial medicine research.

The thought of being able to complete Grandpa’s goal half a year earlier excited the girl immensely.

A senior medicinal plant master!

A 16-year-old senior medicinal plant master!

This was the goal her grandpa had set for her.

Failing to achieve it would mean getting a spanking, she recalled as she shyly raised her eyes to look directly at the numbers displayed above the auction platform.

Buyer number 302, that was her.

This time, she had brought all the 900,000 Star Coins she had earned from selling medicines.

If she succeeded, she would have a chance to produce Fifth-Stage Spirit-Breakthrough Medicine, Energy Burning S-level Potion, and Physical Enhancement Strong Medicine, not to mention that one of the auction items might contain a handbook with more information about plants.

She hoped no one would compete with her!

Bai Guyue’s rosy cheeks were full of anticipation.

The price hadn’t been exceeded yet, they must be hers.

But there were quite a few attendees today.

Some were uninterested in those flowers and plants, but they were very interested in the unknown minerals.

They should be identifiable, but the auction house probably didn’t damage the exterior of the stones to preserve their integrity.

That also added to their mystique!

“550,000!”

“680,000!”

A few voices progressively raised the price.

Watching the numbers flicker on the holographic light screen, Bai Guyue’s eyes gradually became conflicted.

A bid of 720,000 just now didn’t leave her much margin!

These were all her savings from three years of medicine-making after following her grandpa to Blue Capital Star from Huang Valley Star.

Grandpa had said the money she earned would be her dowry…

The young girl worriedly looked towards the stage, her heart slowly sinking.

It was already 800,000!

Should she place a bid, or shouldn’t she?

Many in the crowd were preparing to go to the smoking area for a breather due to this low-priced charity auction.

What a waste of time, right?

Bai Guyue, caught in her dilemma, hadn’t noticed a young man in the first row getting up, his arm around a scantily clad beauty, about to walk past her.

Gaoling Ze, with his arm around a Jigu Clan woman, had already been roused by this chick during the auction.

Taking advantage of the auction, he and his bodyguards prepared to leave, having already booked a junior VIP room.

Haha, life is for enjoying – seize the moment!

Walking down the aisle, Gaoling Ze noticed the countless stealthy glances thrown at him.

Hmph!

Such women aren’t something you all can enjoy!

A few meters later, Gaoling Ze suddenly noticed a young girl nearby lifting her head.

Her delicate skin and innocent appearance, along with those clear, naïve eyes, immediately caught Young Master Gaoling’s gaze.

Her pale white long coat didn’t emphasize the maturity it should have, but instead beautifully blended innocence with maturity, like a bud about to face the world, its tender greenness captivating.

Gaoling Ze’s steps gradually slowed – such a woman was rare indeed!

This kind of impeccable innocent girl was not pretending to be naïve but was genuinely simple, which was evident from her rosy cheeks.

Young Master Gaoling’s heart grew hotter; encountering such a pure girl, how could he possibly miss the chance?

He gently slapped the woman by his side on the buttocks, signaling her to wait outside for him.

The Jigu Clan woman said nothing, catching Gaoling Ze’s glance, she just smirked and lowered her head to walk out.

Her figure swayed, ignoring the glances from those around her.

Gaoling Ze was very pleased with this female servant, wise not to vie for his favor and presentable in public, haha, he would treasure her later.

Bai Guyue, still unaware of the approaching Gaoling Ze, bit her lip and after much thought finally tapped in a number.

“880,000, bidder number 302.”

The young girl raised her head, her eyes inadvertently meeting the gaze of Gaoling Ze who was passing by.

A beauty in the making!

It wasn’t until she raised her head that Gaoling Ze could fully observe her; he was sure this young girl was not yet of age, her hair tied up with vines only accentuating her ethereal beauty!

Tsk~

A treasure indeed.

Filled with anticipation, Bai Guyue finally noticed the figure approaching her.

Her eyes shone as she looked at him.

A villain!?

The girl’s gaze became instantly alert.

At that moment, unaware of the activity on the other side, Mu Fan, feeling emboldened, looked at the numbers on the holographic screen and casually pressed a number. “1 million!”

So, this is how thrilling spending money felt.

Now Mu Fan suddenly had an illusion, as if Shura stood behind him, giving him ample backing.

Black had said it was a must-have. First, secure this Heart-locking Grass, and then think about repaying the debt.

1 million…

If it really came down to it, he’d just go to the underground fighting market!

Or maybe get a Mecha from Black to compete in the racing and Fighting competitions!

A few plants and flowers had actually reached the price of 1 million.

This was unexpected by most.

Some buyers interested in pharmacology or mineralogy research shook their heads, no longer planning to bid.

The price was somewhat outrageous.

Most were individuals involved in research. As for an isolation ball that might even contain unknown toxins, the risk was quite substantial.

Therefore, reaching the limit of 1 million, most people gave up.

Hearing the bid, Bai Guyue clenched her teeth, her eyes brimming with tears—her savings were not enough.

“1.5 million, I will win it for you. Have dinner with me tonight,” Gaoling Ze said, bending down with a smile, drawing near the young girl.

Bai Guyue’s eyes instantly widened, her body tensely recoiling.

Her figure became somewhat disordered, her face flushing red as if about to bleed.

The girl’s face filled with indignation, her eyes angrily fixated on Gaoling Ze as he intruded.

“What do you want to do?”

Her voice was indignant, yet still very soft.

“I’m trying to help you.”

Gaoling Ze spoke innocently, his mischievous smile not quite matching his noble appearance, which indeed possessed a certain charm.

“Thank you, but no thanks. Please go away,” the young girl shook her head, her clear eyes full of warning.

Seeing the pure and charming girl react this way, Gaoling Ze felt even more eager.

“1.3 million, bidder number 26.”

“1.5 million, bidder number 173.”

The numbers on the screen jumped twice in succession, Mu Fan watching with full confidence; his bid was now leading by 200,000!

This was exactly what Black had just taught him.

“This auction is like a battle, learn to crush your enemies with your aura! You must make them believe that you are determined to win!”

Thus, Mu Fan boldly added 200,000 more, bidding just one second later.

Bidder number 26, who had just offered 1.3 million, now watched the numbers on the screen coldly.

He had an 8-million Star Coin personal card, which was already a fortune. Where they came from, earning this amount involved countless battles.

In the standards of Solomon, a human life was worth less than that of a cow.

The current bid had instantly exceeded his expectations.

But as he thought of the words “Star Map Relic”—

The eyes behind the mask began to emit a cold light.

Star Map Relic. He was determined to get it!
