Chapter 667: Second Phase: Trading
"How? Did they build a complete transportation system in the entire wild void area?" Nash asked.
The others nearby also paused, looking in his direction in curiosity.
They had long been curious how each of them would be transported to their designated area.
Although the top teams shouldn’t have any problem with relocation, for high-level teams and below, it was a nightmare.
Even without factoring in danger, at their speed, it would take centuries or even thousands of years for them to arrive.
"The mechanical race set up several dimensional-scale teleportation arrays in key areas around the wild void area. As long as you get close, you can use the authority of the Void Administrator to teleport to your destination," the coordinator explained.
"A dimensional-scale teleportation array? Isn’t that a tier 10 array? How could it be used here?"
Not only Nash but even the leaders of top-level and high-level teams were shocked.
One had to know that the limit of this wild void area was only up to the tier 8 realm.
Any higher and it would destabilize the space, leading to its destruction.
Furthermore, the more tier 8 beings, treasures, and technology deployed, the more dark beasts would be attracted.
It didn’t help that various cosmic emperors wanted a piece of this legendary territory for themselves.
Thus, under all these limitations, the cosmic competition was established.
Gathering the top universe talent, the smartest minds, and a ruthless competition system, they hoped to conquer and decide who would rule this set of territory.
"This was deployed by the Mechanical Emperor under the agreement of various galactic emperors. Even the Void Administrator and the Virtual Administrator intervened to set it up."
At this moment, everyone finally understood.
With the intervention of several powers, it was indeed possible to set up such an over-the-limit device.
Even still, most of them wore worried expressions.
What if all of it was a ruse? What if it was an elaborate trap to wipe them out?
"Stop worrying. Although the teleportation arrays were set by the mechanical race, the one managing them would be the Void Administrator."
Hearing this, most of their worries dissipated.
If the mechanical race could still slip into a trap under the watch of the Void Administrator, they could just accept their fate.
Soon, as everyone was allocated their area, Primos announced the start of the second phase of the convention.
During the following half month, everyone was free to trade or try their hand at the Altier Arcane Tower without restriction.
To make trade more convenient, Primos even deployed a mechanical guide to each individual, forming an augmented virtual experience.
Meanwhile, as soon as everyone heard the start of the second phase, they cheered.
They didn’t come to the convention to learn that the wild void area was about to change or be relegated to another force.
They came here to trade and buy precious resources for their teams.
Although they were about to head on completely different journeys, they still looked forward to what treasures they could find and sell!
Soon, with the mechanical guide provided by Primos, they were quickly briefed on the rules and what to do.
Forming a temporary bazaar, each vendor scanned the items they wanted to sell and displayed them in all kinds of ways.
"Hello, I’m guide no. 3308. If you want to sell or buy anything, you can ask me for assistance."
"Oh? Then can you list all the items for sale?" Nash asked.
Looking at the large venue, if he explored it one by one, he wouldn’t have time to take the trial.
Since this guide could help him sort through each item, it was better to use it.
"Displaying each item: prices, description, specifications, and location. If you want, you can filter them to find what you need faster."
"No need."
Not wanting to miss a single item, Nash decided to scan each one.
With a powerful calculation ability, he rapidly scrolled and catalogued every item.
Within a few minutes, Nash came to the last section, which refreshed thousands of items every second.
Absorbing the information into his mind, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"This-what a treasure."
[Expandable Breathing Earth Loom: Non-ranked material. Can expand given any neutral energy.
Transaction style: Bidding
Current Bid: 1.3 quadrillion
Time Limit: 3 days
Location: ...]
An expandable treasure! Although Nash had read about them, this was the first time he encountered one.
Based on what he had read, these treasures were one of the particles that generate all matter in the universe.
If Nash could get his hands on it, much less the potential of having infinite material, just the wealth of information he could extract from it was priceless.
Perhaps he could even replicate its limitless expanding capability using his runic ability!
"Can I bid directly through you?"
"Yes. What item would you like to bid on?"
"Bid on this Expandable Breathing Earth Loom for 1.5 quadrillion," Nash said without wasting a moment.
Although there was a time limit of days, who knew if the seller would cut it off and directly sell the item because he needed money?
After bidding, Nash quickly headed to the seller to see if he could negotiate a buyout price.
Arriving at the place, he noticed it was a little empty compared to other stalls.
Besides the Breathing Earth Loom, which looked like a mound of dirt, the others were just some rare materials.
"Hello, are you the current highest bidder of the Breathing Earth Loom?" the seller, Popo, asked with his eyes lit up.
As Nash got close to the stall, the seller was informed by the mechanical guide of his arrival.
"Yes, I want to ask what the buyout price of this treasure is," Nash went straight to the point.
"Oh? You want to buy it outright? In that case, I could sell it to you for 80 quadrillion!"
"Outrageous! You really dare to set the price!"
Before Nash could complain, the onlookers were already staring at him in shock.
"Folks, this is a rare expandable treasure. Where could you find this kind of thing and be able to buy it?" Popo insisted.
"Hah! It’s indeed a rare expandable treasure, but what can a mere lump of dirt do even if it can expand limitlessly?"
