EBE Chapter 23 Overwhelming Curiosity
Chapter 23 Overwhelming Curiosity
The second treasure, Qingyi did not reveal what it was, but its mysterious appearance aroused the curiosity of many people.
"Miss in green, stop keeping us in suspense and lift the cloth so we can see what good things are inside."
"Yeah, they're just being mysterious. It's driving me crazy with curiosity!"
"The second treasure of the day is an egg of a near-divine beast level!"
"hiss!"
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped and stared intently at the box covered by the red cloth.
"A sub-divine beast egg?! If it can hatch, it can immediately recognize its master!"
"Yes!"
Every Beast Soul Master will awaken their own Beast Spirit, which can serve as a partner in battle.
Beastmasters, on the other hand, tame beasts in the later stages of the game to aid them in battle, but they need strong mental strength and charisma.
Neither can be missing! Beast tamers are extremely rare on the Canglan Continent.
However, if one can find a high-ranking beast that lays eggs to hatch, the probability of taming it can be greatly increased.
Therefore, in the Ghost Market, a Xuan-rank beast egg can fetch an astonishing price, but in all these years, a Tian-rank beast has never appeared, let alone a sub-divine beast.
"A sub-divine beast? What is that? Open it up and let us see!"
"However, the egg of a divine beast... will cost at least tens of millions!"
"Yes, at such a price, we can only look on with envy."
"Don't be in such a hurry, everyone." The woman in green smiled mysteriously. "The price will definitely amaze you, but there is a small flaw in this beast egg."
"This egg is very useful, take it."
Luo Yishui heard Xie Feng's voice coming from the soul contract.
Luo Yishui looked troubled; her goal today was the Shennong Cauldron.
Moreover, all her assets combined amounted to only one million spirit stones, which she had obtained from Jun Liuyue over the years.
Below, the voice in green robes rang out again: "Secondary divine beast egg, starting bid 200,000 spirit stones."
"What! Only two hundred thousand?!"
Everyone was shocked by the price—a near-divine beast! Even a single eggshell would cost more than 200,000!
"However, this egg has a significant flaw; it's a dead egg," the man in green said with a smile. "Therefore, the starting bid is 200,000. Whoever bids the highest wins. Is there anyone who can bid 200,000?"
Dead egg?
Everyone instantly deflated as if they had lost their spirit.
"Who wants a dead egg?!"
"Exactly, who knows how many years they've been dead, what use would it be to take them back?"
"So you're saying I spent 200,000 yuan on something useless? I'd rather buy a few eggs to make up for it."
"Exactly, Miss in green, you're such a mystery girl! You've got my heart in my throat, and then you tell me it's a dead egg? That's so unfair!"
"That's right, that's right."
They were as excited as they were a moment ago, and now they were just as disappointed.
Dead egg, who wants it?!
Dead egg? Jun Liuyue lowered her eyes to look at the giant blue egg covered with totems. It was indeed a secondary divine beast egg. If she was not mistaken, it should be a Chongming Bird.
However, it may not necessarily be dead.
According to legend, after laying its eggs, the Chongming bird will leave them in a dead state to escape predators.
The baby Chongming bird will only hatch when the right opportunity arises; otherwise, the egg will become a dead egg.
"What's the use of a dead egg?" Luo Yishui said with a dark face. Although she had a million, she didn't want to spend two hundred thousand to buy a dead egg.
"You'll know once you buy it. Anyway, it's useful." Xie Feng was too lazy to explain to Luo Yishui, that idiot.
Luo Yishui was speechless. How dare this dead bird treat her like this!
"Don't forget, I am your master!"
"You weren't the master I initially chose," Xie Feng sneered.
Luo Yishui's molars were almost crushed.
“Your Highness, I think this egg is unusual; it has medicinal value,” Luo Yishui said.
"It's just an egg. If Yishui likes it, I, the Crown Prince, will give it to you," Sikong Yu said with a smile.
"Three hundred thousand!"
Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice. "Isn't that His Highness the Crown Prince? And the person sitting next to him looks like Miss Luo!"
"Isn't Miss Luo the adopted daughter of the Jun family? How come she's seen with His Highness the Crown Prince? I remember that the eldest daughter of the Jun family was engaged to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Below, there was much discussion.
"How could that good-for-nothing be worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"I heard that Miss Luo is also an alchemist. This dead egg should be of value to Miss Luo. His Highness the Crown Prince is spending a fortune for Miss Luo. He is spoiling her too much!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yishui proudly raised her eyebrows and looked towards the direction of VIP room number nine.
Jun Liuyue, Jun Liuyue, you must be insanely jealous by now, right?
"Three hundred thousand once, three hundred thousand twice—"
"Half a million."
Just then, a lazy voice came from private room number nine, and the girl yawned.
"Five hundred thousand! Customer number nine has offered five hundred thousand!" Qingyi's eyes lit up. This good-for-nothing's low bid was three hundred thousand! He had already made a lot of money by bidding three hundred thousand, but he didn't expect someone to offer such a high price of five hundred thousand.
The woman in green had a smile on her alluring face. "Is there anything higher than 500,000? 500,000 per time..."
"Six hundred thousand." Sikong Yu sneered. Was Jun Liuyue deliberately going against him to get his attention?
"Eight hundred thousand."
The lazy voice rang out again, and the crowd erupted in cheers. Eight hundred thousand! Eight hundred thousand for a dead egg?
They're either incredibly wealthy or they're mentally unstable.
Many people became curious about the identity of the guest in private room number nine.
Even members of the four great families couldn't be such spendthrifts!
"Eight hundred thousand—"
Sikong Yu frowned and stopped the car in time.
He looked at Luo Yishui: "Yishui, this egg isn't worth that much money. I only brought five million with me today."
Their goal today is the Shennong Cauldron.
Not this dead egg.
Thinking of this, Sikong Yu broke out in a cold sweat. He had almost spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a dead egg.
"Your Highness, that egg is really useful."
Luo Yishui also had doubts about Xie Feng's words.
But if it really works, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
What's more... the person bidding was Jun Liuyue! The man beside Jun Liuyue is definitely not an ordinary person; he must have been instructed by that mysterious man.
Otherwise, why would Jun Liuyue spend 800,000 to bid on a dead egg? Although the Jun family is not short of money, Jun Liuyue has never spent money like water before.
There must be some reason for this.
"one million!"
Sikong Yu's voice rang out again.
"1.2 million."
Sikong Yu: ...
Is this good-for-nothing deliberately trying to oppose him?
No one dared to breathe loudly; this was the first time they had ever seen an auction like this.
While other bidders were adding tens of thousands of dollars at a time, the bidder for VIP room number nine immediately added two hundred thousand dollars.
"The VIP in VIP room number nine has offered 1.2 million. Is there anyone offering a higher price?"
The woman in green smiled broadly, “One million two hundred thousand once, one million two hundred thousand twice, one million two hundred thousand three times. Congratulations to the distinguished guest in VIP room number nine for winning a divine beast egg for one million two hundred thousand.”
