Infinite wealth In A New World-Chapter 85: Blood Artifact

[Payment Successful.]

The lady holding the POS machine was trembling, her hands shaking at the sight of the astronomical amount that had just been paid.

’Is this guy the god of wealth?!’ The thought echoed through the minds of everyone in the room, a collective gasp of horror and disbelief.

With a simple snap of his fingers, Sunny made the golden age armor vanish from the stage, disappearing into his system storage.

"Impossible! Impossible! How are you so rich?!" Matilda shrieked at him, her face a mask of utter disbelief.

"It’s nothing much... Oh, and Empress, if you can’t compete, don’t bother to open your mouth," Sunny replied nonchalantly.

"....?!"

Matilda and the rest of the kings were stunned into silence. He had just spoken to the empress of the strongest nation with such blatant disrespect.

"I like the spirit!" Brittney’s voice cut through the tension, expertly disrupting a conversation that was teetering on the edge of a bloodbath.

"The three items in today’s auction have opened everyone’s eyes! Now... let’s move on to the main items for today."

"Main item?"

"So all this time, it was just ordinary items?"

"Are you stupid? Any item in the Supreme Auction is a treasure among treasures! But the main items are the absolute best."

"Yes! Every year, the Supreme Auction always provides main items... And they never disappoint... Let’s see what’s in store."

A low murmur spread through the hall as everyone waited with bated breath for Brittney to continue.

{Congratulations Master for completing the Hell difficulty Quest.}

{You gained 100 Million EXP.}

{Does master want to use it now?}

’Huh? If I try that now, these guys will suspect something,’ Sunny thought.

’And such a high amount will surely move me to the peak of the celestial rank... Maybe later.’

{New Quest activated.}

{Master can use his reject chance if he wants.}

{Spend 50 Billion in 24 hours.}

’Oh... 50 Billion... let’s do this, accept.’

{Quest accepted... Countdown started.}

"The fourth item!"

Brittney gestured to the side, and a lady walked toward them, carrying a magnificent gemstone on a decorated tray.

"Wow! Is that!"

Most of the people in the back rows stood up, straining for a better look despite the screens showing the items right in front of them.

"This is a Celestial Energy Stone," Brittney announced. "A high grand stone! This is one of the most special gemstones in the whole galaxy. It can instantly move a man foundation rank warrior to the sky rank, and a master rank to half heavenly rank! Not only that, but it can also move a heavenly rank to the peak of the celestial rank! It is a one-in-a-million treasure for cultivators!" she said with a triumphant smile.

"Whoa! So powerful!"

The hall erupted in a commotion, everyone eyeing the gemstone with covetous gazes.

"The starting bid, 50 Billion!" Brittney yelled.

"50 Billion!" Sunny said with a confident smile.

Silence descended upon the hall.

_

[Two minutes later.]

Sunny looked over his shoulder, wondering why no one was bidding. They had all been clamoring for it moments ago, and now not a single person was saying a word.

"Haha... why do you look surprised?" Falkor, who sat beside him, said with a laugh.

"No one wants to compete with you. We’ll definitely lose."

"50 Billion going once!" Brittney yelled, her gaze sweeping across the silent hall.

"50 Billion going twice?!"

The hall was as quiet as a graveyard.

’Are they all intimidated?’ Brittney thought, and continued:

"50 Billion going thrice!"

Still, nothing. She sighed. "Sold to King God Wolf!"

Sunny nodded at the lady, who swiped his card.

[Payment Successful.]

’Who would have thought this bastard still has more money!’ Austin thought with a deep frown.

’If words get out... a lot of things will change,’ Falkor thought, his own frown deepening.

Sunny snapped his fingers again, and the gemstone disappeared into his storage.

{Gemstone: Gives 50 Million EXP... Useless to Master.}

’What the fuck?!’ Sunny was stunned.

’You’re saying I can’t use any celestial energy gemstones to upgrade my rank?! So only EXP gained from you can do that?!’

{Yes.}

{Congratulations, Master completed a quest.}

{Master gained a new passive skill: Grand Class: Slow Curse.}

{Slow Curse description: Automatically slow down enemies with killing intent within 30 meters from the user by reducing their agility to half.}

’Wow... I gained two treasures. Although I can’t use the gemstone, I’ll give it to Ellen... She needs to get stronger,’ he thought.

"Okay..." Brittney nodded and turned to the next item.

"This item is provided by the Dragon Race!" she said with a smile as a lady walked forward with a red, triangle-shaped object on another decorated tray.

"This here is an artifact!" She activated her cosmic brain, displaying the item’s stats for everyone to see:

[Name: Blood Artifact.]

[Origin: ???.]

[Strength: +1,000.]

[Agility: +1,000.]

[Stamina: +1,000.]

[Defense: +1,000.]

[Attack: 500.]

[Energy: 1,000.]

[Magic Resistance: 10%.]

"Huh?"

Everyone in the hall frowned:

’Why are its skills so low?’ Even Brittney looked confused, but she maintained her smile.

"The Dragons are the hosts of this auction! So their items were immediately placed in the main sections," she explained.

"Although this artifact has low stats, its origin is unknown, which means there is something special about it!" she said with a half-smile. "Starting bid, One Million!"

"That’s useless, who wants it?"

"The Dragons have good treasures, but they’re giving this out?"

"I hope this is the only item they provided."

"Yes."

Everyone started murmuring, none of them liking the item.

"10 Million!"

"Huh?"

"Who would bid on this?"

Everyone turned to the voice and was stunned to see it was Matilda.

’Why would she bid on this?’ Sunny thought. ’She has much stronger things, and this artifact... something is wrong with it.’ He scanned it with the system.

{Name: Blood Artifact.}

{Origin: Blood.}

{Strength: +1,000.}

{Agility: +1,000.}

{Stamina: +1,000.}

{Defense: +1,000.}

{Attack: 500.}

{Energy: 1,000.}

{Magic Resistance: 10%.}

{Pseudo form.}

’Pseudo what?!’ Sunny was stunned.

’Did she know this?’ He thought, turning to Matilda.

’Anything that will give her strength must be stopped.’ He made a decision.

{New Quest activated.}

’Right on time... It seems if I complete one, I’ll get another... This is good,’ he thought.

{Spend 10 Trillion in Two days.}

{Accept or reject?}

’Accept it.’

{Done... Countdown started.}

"10 Million going once!" Brittney yelled, her gaze moving around the room.

"30 Million!" Sunny said with a smile.

"....?!"

"The God Wolf is going after it too... Who’ll win?" Austin asked.

"We will find out in a while," Falkor answered.

"100 Million!" Matilda yelled, turning her gaze directly to Sunny.

"You already have a lot of items, leave this to me, and you can ask for any planet in my territory... and it will instantly become yours."

Her words shocked everyone in the hall, including Sunny himself.
