Chapter 110 The Knife of Urging Updates
Xin Yue holds an extraordinary market at the beginning of every month, which lasts for three days and two nights. Goods, treasures, and even some contraband items from all over the world are sold here.

Large companies such as the Forging Association, Alchemy Workshop, Magic Association, Spark Technology, and Eternal Genes will also hold promotions here. The goods sold are far below the market price. As long as you have enough capital, you can find a lot of good things here.

There is a threshold for the auction, and only those extraordinary people with status and connections can participate. The items participating in the auction are all fine products, and they can easily be sold at sky-high prices of hundreds of millions.

The most attractive thing about this auction is what the organizers claim: "There will always be unusual items."

Although most of the abnormal items auctioned are classic fashion junk, the title of "abnormal item" is here. As long as it can be listed in the Control Bureau's abnormal encyclopedia, even if it is a piece of shit, its value can be multiplied hundreds or thousands of times.

In the magnificent auction hall, Zhou Yuan and Chen Guangxi took their seats, while Fang Qing, disguised as Wang Zhen, sat in the corner, hidden and inconspicuous.

The auctions here are very famous in the supernatural world. They are always packed with people. You can see many foreigners, even long-eared blond elves, bearded dwarves, and even a large group of succubi who were scantily clad and only reluctantly put on a coat after being reminded by the staff.

Soon, the first auction item was brought up. It was a pink hair dryer with two cartoon eye stickers on it, cosplaying Peppa Pig, and a light blue ring next to it.

The auctioneer introduced: "These are two of the latest magic tools made by Master Geng, the master of magic tools, last week - a portable flamethrower and a water curtain defense ring.

Ha, that's right, although it looks like a hair dryer, it's actually a flamethrower.

According to tests, this flamethrower can spray out high-temperature flames of 2000 degrees Celsius at maximum power, which is enough to melt steel. It contains seven compressed spiritual storage matrices, referred to as spiritual batteries, with an automatic recovery function, which can restore full power in 24 hours. When the spiritual battery is full, it can spray flames at maximum power for more than 1 minute.

This water curtain defense ring will automatically activate when using a flamethrower to prevent the user from being burned by high temperatures.

For many extraordinary people who often venture deep into dangerous areas, this magic tool is a good self-defense item. I think even among those present here, not many people can withstand the high temperature flame of 2000 degrees Celsius.

The starting bid for this item is 300 million.”

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately raised his sign, and the auctioneer immediately quoted: "310 million."

"320."

"340."

"..."

The first item was eventually bid up to 580 million and was bought by an Beyonder who was obviously a nouveau riche.

"Tsk tsk, 580 million to buy a flamethrower and a defense ring, he's really rich." Zhou Yuan couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

"They have a lot of money, so spending more than 4 million is just like spending more than 400 yuan for ordinary people." Chen Guangxi said calmly, "The world of rich people is so plain and boring. No matter whether they like it or not, or whether it is useful or not, as long as they like it, they will just buy it."

The second auction item is more normal. It is a box of exquisitely packaged red wine, brewed by the "Bacchus Association". It tastes wonderful and intoxicating. It has the special effects of nourishing the spirit, healing hidden injuries, and enhancing physical vitality. It can also be regarded as a top-quality extraordinary material. The starting price is 400 million.

In the end, she was bought by Chen Guangxi for 1200 million yuan. She quite likes drinking - to be more precise, she likes to eat and drink as much as she can.

"See? That's it." Chen Guangxi was calm and composed. She didn't feel any pleasure of spending money lavishly at all. After all, it was just small change for her, just a drop in the bucket.

"I'm actually quite curious, how rich are you?" Zhou Yuan asked.

"I don't know the exact number. There are too many and I haven't counted them in a long time. Probably... as rich as a country."

Chen Guangxi spoke in Versailles, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, "Since I was a child, I liked to collect gold and silver treasures everywhere. I would carry them with me using space magic. When I got tired of playing, I would find a cave to take out the gold and silver treasures, and sleep in the sea of ​​treasures. It was so comfortable."

"...When you came out of the book, did you also take out those gold, silver and treasures?" Zhou Yuan widened his eyes in surprise.

"of course."

"..." Now Zhou Yuan knew that Chen Guangxi was not bragging when she said that she was rich enough to rival a country, she really had the ability to do so.

Chen Guangxi's real body has a wingspan of two kilometers, making him an absolute behemoth. Even if he had not reached such an exaggerated size many years ago, it would probably not be much different. And it is no exaggeration to say that the treasure sea that can accommodate such a body is definitely a real sea, a... golden ocean.

In addition to the gold, silver and treasures she brought from her hometown, she would often sell her scales, blood, hair and other materials to major organizations at high prices. After several years of business, her income was astronomical.

It is true that he is rich enough to rival a country.

While we were chatting, two more items were sold.

The next item that came on stage was a yellow stone surrounded by brilliant electric light. It was stored in a transparent protective cover. Zhou Yuan could feel the violent thunder power contained in it from a distance.

[The Thunder Stone contains tremendous electrical energy and is a rare lightning material. You can buy it for your yellow-skinned rat.

By the way, this Thunder Stone is the product of a great battle between two high-ranking extraordinary beings in the spirit world. It accidentally flew into the real world. If you can find that battlefield in the spirit world, you can get more Thunder Stones. 】

The yellow mouse controlled by the Weaver is actually called "Electric Mouse". It is not a cute creature like Pikachu in Pokémon, but an out-and-out bloodthirsty monster.

The power was turned on in a small town in Australia, killing more than a hundred people. The man and his "wife" then ate the bodies beyond recognition.

Just when they were about to eat and drink their fill, and were preparing to perform the symphony of love and reproduce, the [Endless Maze from which there is no escape] arrived, and the two remaining electric mice were locked in.

——The race of electric rats was born from an abnormal event. They have an extremely terrifying reproductive ability. In a short period of time, they ravaged Australia like locusts, causing tens of thousands of casualties. The Control Bureau spent a lot of manpower and resources to exterminate them, but in fact, two electric rats slipped through the net and escaped the cleanup.

If there were no [Endless Maze from which there is no escape], it would not be long before these two mice would once again bring about a terrible thunder rat plague in Australia.

In the maze, the electric mouse couple encountered a strong enemy, the female electric mouse died, and the male electric mouse became the last mouse of the race.

Although it is just an inconspicuous mouse, it has extraordinary combat power and extremely fast speed. It can burst out powerful destructive thunder force and is considered a top-level magical beast in level 1.

Finally, Fang Qing bought the Thunder Stone for 500 million yuan. She was lucky as there were not too many bidders.

Zhou Yuan calculated that this Thunder Stone was enough for the Electric Mouse to reach level 3 or even level 4. If it could be used to level 4, it would be a huge profit.

The Thunder Stone is just the beginning. The next dozen or so items are all rare elemental materials.

Among them, there was an elemental substance called "Panbing" that aroused Zhou Yuan's interest. This thing was very suitable for the Snow Banshee.

But unfortunately, elemental substances were the most popular auction items, and the bidding prices were all sky-high without exception. The price was soon called up to 2200 million, which he could not afford at all.

"2300 million." Chen Guangxi next to him suddenly raised a sign.

"2400 million." The person who made the bid was an Ice-type Extraordinary.

"2500 million." Chen Guangxi remained calm.

The price has exceeded psychological expectations, and the Ice-Type Extraordinary can only sigh and give up the bidding.

"2500 million once, 2500 million twice, 2500 million three times, deal done."

Zhou Yuan was puzzled: "Why did you buy this?"

Chen Guangxi stared at him, his lips curled up slightly: "Guess." "..." Zhou Yuan pondered, "Because Wang really wants to buy this?"

"Well, after all, we have a life-long friendship. Just help him. I have plenty of money anyway." Chen Guangxi said in a casual tone.

Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment: "Rich woman, I'm hungry, I want to eat."

"Don't use repetitive words, it's disgusting."

·
After the auction of elemental materials was over, it was finally time for the highlight - extraordinary props.

For example, the "automatic cleaning broom" made by the Magic Association can automatically clean the home and has the ability to fly.

For example, the supreme deluxe version of the physical strengthening gene medicine launched by Eternal Gene has an effect far exceeding the Nine Dragons Coffin Supreme Package composed of fitness drugs such as Condrol, Anadrol, Tribolone, Sislon, Stenbolone, Trenbolone, and Primobolan, which can make the physical fitness of extraordinary people undergo a qualitative leap.

Another example is the extraordinary weapons made by the Forging Guild - although they seem ordinary among all the strange and bizarre auction items, their auction prices are among the highest.

A long sword that can fly into the sky, has no ability to kill enemies, and is completely useless except for being cool, but it was raised to a sky-high price of 9800 million. The blacksmith's mouth must be almost crooked with laughter.

Zhou Yuan could only sigh that this group of extraordinary people were really fucking rich. They were close to a small goal and could buy things as they pleased.

The last item to be auctioned at the auction was this unusual item.

——【Abnormality 9140: The Knife of Urging Updates】

This anomalous item is only effective for a specific group of people - the author.

Regardless of whether the target is an online novel author or a physical novel author, as long as the target has a book currently being serialized, this exception can be used on it.

Specifically, the knife urging for updates will suddenly appear near the neck of the designated author, and get closer and closer over time. This process is irreversible and cannot be stopped. If the author fails to finish the set number of words within the specified time, the knife urging for updates will behead him with one blow. Only when the author completes the update within the specified time will the knife disappear.

"So evil!"

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, "What a vicious anomaly!"

"Vicious? It's obviously a magical tool, specially designed to treat those authors who are in the late stage of procrastination." Chen Guangxi laughed, "I want this thing."

Regardless of whether the abnormal items were useful or not, the competition was extremely fierce, and the bidding price soared all the way to 1 million. Chen Guangxi calmly called out a price of 2 million, directly adding 1 million.

"One hundred and eighty million." Someone followed the price.

"2 million." Chen Guangxi added 2 million this time.

The scene was silent, no one continued to bid, and when the hammer fell, this unusual item finally fell into her hands.

·
"Prison King, this thing is for you."

Behind the scenes of the handover, Chen Guangxi threw the elemental substance "Panbing" to Wang Zhen, who was disguised as Fang Qing.

"You... took this for me?" Fang Qing acted as if she was shocked, bewildered, and unbelievable. She had never received any professional training, but her acting skills were so superb. It could only be said that she was gifted.

"Since you want it, I bought it for you. Don't be polite. We are old friends." Chen Guangxi waved his hand. "It's just a small amount of money."

"Thank you."

Fang Qing sighed in the communication channel, "You are really clinging to the thigh of a rich woman."

"I didn't expect she would buy it." To be honest, Zhou Yuan was a little flattered. He really didn't expect Chen Guangxi to help.

"I still have to go shopping at the market. I'm leaving now. Keep in touch." Fang Qing said hello and turned to leave.

There were also many good things in the market, and she vaguely felt that there were some extraordinary materials suitable for her.

"Remember to find suitable training materials for the Weaver." Zhou Yuan reminded.

"Can't forget."

·
Chen Guangxi was hungry, so the two of them didn't continue wandering around the market. Instead, they found a high-end restaurant nearby to have dinner.

dong dong dong.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the box, and then the disfigured woman who had participated in the debt collection activities of the Holy Crow Cult some time ago pushed the door open reluctantly and walked in - she had also participated in the auction just now, but sat far away, as if she didn't want Chen Guangxi to see her.

[What could have happened that could make the mortal enemy of the big car beauty come to her unwillingly? I smell the scent of a mission. ]

Zhou Yuan ate the crab legs with big mouthfuls, ready to watch the fun.

Chen Guangxi was obviously surprised by the appearance of the woman with a disfigured face and raised his eyebrows: "Are you ready to seek revenge on me?"

"No."

The woman with the disfigured face closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and squeezed out the words from between her teeth with trembling hands, "I'm here... to ask you... for help."

"Oh?" Chen Guangxi seemed surprised and tilted his ear.

"What are you here for?"

"I'm here... to ask for your help." The woman with the disfigured face said through gritting her teeth.

"What are you here for?" Chen Guangxi asked again.

The woman with the disfigured face clenched her fists, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She completely let go of her dignity and said in an almost pleading tone:

"I'm here to ask for your help."

"Please help me."

"Ah."

Chen Guangxi nodded with satisfaction, "Tell me what's the matter. I'm a kind-hearted person, Long Jie. Plus, I'm in a good mood today, so maybe I can help you."

"My daughter...was caught in an anomalous object."

The woman with the disfigured face bit her lip and said, "I have tried many methods, but none of them worked. The Control Bureau can't do it either... If you can rescue her, I am willing... to let you do whatever you want."
