I Can Program My Body?-Chapter 454: Bidding Stage

Walking down the stage, silence rang through the room.

Although most didn’t believe Nash’s empty promise and outrageous goal, some still had a light in their eyes.

Like a lottery, though they knew deep in their hearts it was impossible to win, there was still hope that they might.

If Nash really managed to become the ruler of the Wild Domain Territory, then the 10% he offered was worth ten thousand times more than the others.

"Are you so confident?" Elizabeth asked with a smile, seeing him walk toward them.

"What do you think?"

"I believe you~" Camilla said quickly.

"So do I." Elizabeth’s eyes gleamed.

The light of luck that attracted her was unprecedented.

No matter how outrageous his claims were, Elizabeth was willing to believe them.

"Haha, it seems you two have some vision." Nash laughed, looking around as if insinuating the others were ignorant.

Not minding their little interaction, all the other teams and alliances came to the stage one after another.

Although they were weaker than the great teams, the Liberty Coalition Alliance and the Star Alliance, their merit lay in their cost-effectiveness.

Needing little investment yet offering high equity, they were the favorites of everyone.

Even if only 1% out of a hundred managed to survive and conquer a territory, they wouldn’t lose.

If it were 2%, they could even double their investment.

With such a risk-free investment, how could they not like it?

Listing all the potential candidates, they frantically drafted various resources they could offer.

Soon, after a few hours and all teams had presented their piece, Eldora returned to the stage.

"Now, for the next stage of the banquet, the bidding stage. I’ve sent everyone a virtual link. If you wish to support any team or alliance, simply list everything you could offer. We’ll verify and approve it ourselves in real time. Now, let’s begin!"

With his words, a virtual projection quickly rose from the stage, listing all the teams.

Scanning it with their virtual interface, they began to review all the teams they wanted to invest in.

First was the Solaris Domain and the Liberty Coalition Alliance.

Listing all they could offer, they quickly sent it for appraisal and approval.

Then, turning to the other teams, they quickly sent their bids as well as various agreements they had drafted before.

Meanwhile, sitting back at their table, Nash saw a stream of information being sent to the Star Alliance.

"Not bad. It seems some still want to gamble with us."

From manpower, materials, battleships, treasures, space weapons, potions, even planetary civilizations were listed in the bid.

Scanning them one by one, Nash began to calculate how much they were worth.

Distributing only 10% of the Star Alliance’s equity, Nash was very strict with his calculations.

A tier 6 battleship fleet was only worth a few thousand percent, while a tier 7 powerhouse was only worth a few tenths.

Sending his valuation to others, many quickly backed out.

It seemed the Star Alliance was not only outrageous but also a greedy snake.

"Tsk, it seems I was too harsh." Nash clicked his tongue, seeing the stream of investments shrink tenfold.

"Do you want to lower your requirements?" Camilla asked worriedly.

"No. If they want to earn something, how could there be no risk?" Nash shook his head.

He would rather have no investment than lower his requirements.

At worst, he would sell some potion formulas to get some quick funds.

"Don’t worry, the Aqua Sector is behind you! Even if there’s no investment, I can fill it up for you!" Elizabeth said confidently, already planning to empty their entire net worth.

"Haha, don’t let your uncle hear you. He might kill us." Nash joked.

"Hmph! At least you have some self-awareness."

Suddenly, they felt an overwhelming presence behind them.

"Supreme General Hans, you’re back!" Nash greeted with a smile.

"If I don’t come back, this little niece of mine might even sell us!" Hans said angrily.

Upon hearing Elizabeth’s earlier decision, he nearly fainted.

However, instead of dissuading Elizabeth’s decision, Hans could only let it go.

No matter what Elizabeth decided, no one could change it.

Not him, not her parents, and not even the supreme leader of the Aqua Sector.

Even after he called earlier, instead of scolding Elizabeth for breaking her engagement to Eldora, they even praised her for her insight and courage.

Helpless, he knew he could only support Elizabeth, preventing her from being fooled by this sweet-mouthed brat.

"I see that you don’t have much investment. Do you need help?" Hans asked, seeing the stream of information in Nash’s virtual panel.

"Gladly. If the Aqua Sector could give me ten thousand tier 7 battleships and a thousand tier 7 powerhouses, I would already be satisfied."

"You really dare to dream!" Hans was speechless.

Even if they emptied the Aqua Sector, they might not be able to give Nash such a large amount.

"How about I help you connect with others? I should be able to convince some." Hans suggested.

"That’s also good. However, you should know that I won’t compromise with my requirements." Nash added.

"You really are stubborn."

"I just know my value."

"Alright, I’ll see what I can do..."

Leaving their table, Hans quickly headed to his friends.

Seeing Hans leave, Nash just shook his head with a sigh.

He estimated that even with Hans’s introduction, he wouldn’t be able to get much investment.

Sure enough, as hours passed in the second stage of the banquet, Nash was only able to distribute 0.89% of the 10% he was willing to share.

Compared to this, the other great teams and the Liberty Alliance had already gathered at least half of what they needed.

"This will be a tough battle." Nash smiled.

"It seems you’re really confident."

Not seeing any hint of nervousness on his face, Elizabeth and Camilla looked at him with admiration.

"Just this little challenge is nothing."

He had already expected this result before he even stepped into the banquet.

Compared to the great teams, or even the others with long reputations and lists of achievements, the Star Alliance was full of uncertainties.

Although they achieved remarkable results in the Domain Level Cosmic Competition, most attributed it to luck.
