Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start-Chapter 138 - 133 Silver-Grade Membership! (2/5)_1

Chen Mo glanced over it. The contract was mostly as they had discussed.

Only one extra clause had been added: if an auction item reached its stipulated price, the consignor couldn’t arbitrarily withdraw it from the auction; otherwise, they would be fined for breach of contract.

The stipulated prices for the Resurrection Cross and the Gender Transformation Spiritual Fruit were set at 2,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 respectively, which was reasonable.

Furthermore, items would not be sold in the high-level VIP exclusive auction house unless they reached these prices.

This rule was to prevent greedy individuals who, despite their item reaching a sufficient bid, might want to keep withdrawing it to auction it repeatedly. Such behavior would be a sheer waste of the auction house’s time and negatively impact the customer experience. It also prevented people in the high-level VIP exclusive auction house from deliberately suppressing prices to acquire valuable items cheaply. The final rule was to protect the interests of both the auction house and the seller.

Adding this clause was understandable, and Chen Mo acknowledged its necessity.

Although he was confident that such a large corporate group wouldn’t cheat him, Chen Mo carefully reviewed the entire contract several times before signing it.

"Good, we’ll start marketing your two auction items now. Would you prefer a rushed or relaxed sale?" the receptionist asked.

"Rushed, please."

"All right, we’ll showcase these items on our official website for a 30-minute notice period. Half an hour after the notice period ends, we’ll start the auction."

"Okay, I’ll wait here for an hour then."

Hearing this, the receptionist quickly said, "Miss Zhao, as the historical transaction rate for the two items you’re consigning is 100%, we can upgrade your VIP level in advance."

"Really?"

The Appraiser next to her explained, "Yes, for auction items with a historical transaction rate of 100%, we can immediately grant the equivalent VIP experience points to the consignor after the auction contract is signed. Miss Zhao, you have just gained 30 VIP experience points."

After the Appraiser finished speaking, Chen Mo found the card in his hand had magically changed color to silver-white!

"Your card changes colors on the fly; that’s impressive."

"You’re flattering us, Miss Zhao. Now, if you like, you can start participating in auctions. This is the Silver Field auction list. For items here, with fewer participants, it’s often more like buying than bidding. If you meet the price set in the consignor’s contract, they usually won’t reclaim the item."

Finishing her explanation, the receptionist handed Chen Mo the new auction list.

"Great, I see several items that I need. If no one bids for these five bottles of Holy Water, can I purchase them directly?"

"Yes, if you accept the fixed contract price for all five, you can get them for 100,000,000."

Chen Mo selected five different types of Holy Water. They had passed their notice period, had not been sold in the priority auction venue, nor had they attracted any bids in the Silver Field auction, eventually going unsold and being moved to the ordinary auction.

These were all the types of Holy Water Chen Mo needed that could be obtained by purchasing.

The remaining five types were binding Holy Water, and Chen Mo had to get them from instances himself.

He had already obtained a bottle of Elf Holy Water. If he bought these five bottles, he would only be four short.

"Alright, I’ll take all five bottles."

"Very well, Miss Zhao. We will directly deduct the amount from your membership card balance. Please confirm your decision..."

"Yes, that’s fine with me."

"We’ve marked the five bottles of Holy Water as sold. We’ll bring the items over shortly. Please let us know if you need anything else."

"I’d like to participate in the auctions for the Dark Heart and the Holy Beast’s Inner Core."

If I could get the Dark Heart and the Holy Beast’s Inner Core, combined with the Five Elements Spirit Orb I got from the instance, I could rank up the Holy Corpse Army to a red skill of the top-tier rank! He was determined to get these two items!

"Very well. Is there anything else you need?"

"No, not at the moment."

"The auction for the Dark Heart will start in ten minutes, and the Holy Beast’s Inner Core will begin in half an hour. I’ll take you to the Silver Field to wait."

"Alright."

Chen Mo was quickly led by the receptionist to a small auction room that could accommodate a hundred people.

"Miss Zhao, there are quite a few bidders for this material. You’ll be in seat number 86. Here’s your bidding number; please keep it safe."

Typically, there are many bidders for legendary-level materials. After all, these materials are used in many formulas. Since consumption exceeds production, there are naturally many bidders.

Chen Mo didn’t mind. He took his bidding number and sat down.

Before long, ten minutes passed.

The room was already filled with a hundred silver-grade members.

The competition is fierce, Chen Mo even spotted a teacher from his school.

Even teachers at this level, who had the ability to grind for materials, still struggled to be self-sufficient when it came to legendary-level materials.

As the auction time arrived, an Auctioneer in a long red dress appeared on the stage with her assistant.

Once the assistant placed the item on the display area of the auction stage, the Auctioneer held a microphone and began, "Thank you all for coming, members. Our item in this auction is a legendary-level material—Dark Heart! This item is essential for crafting many top-tier dark equipment, skills, and items. It is very useful and currently in extremely short supply. The last one sold for 70,000,000, almost reaching its historic high price! I’m eager to see what value this one will achieve in our auction house today."

She then uncovered a plaque held by her assistant and announced, "The starting bid is 40,000,000. Each increment must be at least 1,000,000. Let the bidding begin!"

"50,000,000!"

As soon as the Auctioneer finished speaking, someone immediately raised his bidding plate—a young man in the first seat. He seemed determined to win, increasing the bid by ten million in one go.

"51,000,000!"

At this point, the teacher Chen Mo recognized from school raised his number 89 bidding plate.

"55,000,000!"

"57,000,000!"

...

Various bids began to echo throughout the room.

"65,000,000!"

However, as the bid had just risen past 60,000,000, the young man in seat one immediately raised the price by another five million.

The competition for this one seems quite intense! Chen Mo glanced at the young man in the first seat, who was bidding very aggressively.

"The handsome gentleman in seat one has bid 65,000,000! Are there any further bids?"

As soon as the young man’s bid of 65,000,000 was announced, the bidding in the room came to an abrupt halt.

Previously, one could secure a Dark Heart for around 60,000,000. But recently, with the scarcity of the material, prices had indeed risen. Sixty million was certainly no longer enough. However, some people who weren’t in a hurry were willing to wait.

"Sixty-five million, going once!"

Seeing no further bids, the Auctioneer immediately made the first call.

"The restocking cycle for the Dark Heart is quite long, everyone. You should consider carefully. If you don’t secure it this time, who knows how many more days you’ll have to wait."

The Auctioneer continued to entice the bidders.

Seeing no reaction from the audience, she announced again, "Sixty-five million, going twice!"

Chen Mo had remained silent, gauging the competition. Seeing no further bids, he raised his plate. Given that young man’s aggressive bidding, seventy million probably won’t be enough, he reasoned. Seventy-five million should be his psychological limit. He then announced his bid in a clear female voice, "75,000,000!"

Immediately, everyone in the room turned to look at him.
