The van that crosses

Blood ore is very rare in the Marla Empire, and it is firmly held by the empire, and it is rarely revealed.

Although some are auctioned every year, at most ten pieces are sold at most.

The source of money for the Marla Empire is mostly relying on blood ore to attract sea beasts or sea kings to hunt or capture.

To be able to take out a hundred of them this time is simply a stroke of luck.

"500 million!" At this moment, a voice sounded from a private room on the second floor.

As soon as the 500 million came out, the court fell silent in an instant.

However, in the next second, Zhou He directly raised his card and said, "I offer 1000 million Baileys!"

There was silence, and a needle could be heard in the arena.

The next moment, the host shouted excitedly: "1000 million, customer No. 350 bid 1000 million, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"

"1000 million once!"

"Is there anyone raising the price!"

"..."

"Crack! 1000 million three times, deal! These 350 blood ores belong to customer No. [-]."

The host yelled as soon as he hit the hammer.

The people sitting next to Zhou He all looked at Zhou He, looking at Zhou He with the eyes of a fool.

The market price is only [-] Baileys per piece, and the highest price is not more than [-] Baileys per piece. Good guy, now he has directly raised it to [-] Baileys.

Immediately afterwards, the second product was put on the shelves, then the third, and the fourth...

Except for the first blood ore, Zhou He has no interest in the latter.

They are all weapons, gunpowder, some raw materials and some miscellaneous things, and there are even antiques, famous paintings and the like.

Of course, there are also many slaves, strong men, enchanting and beautiful women, and even a female singer, all sold at high prices.

As time went by, finally, it was time for the finale items to be put on the shelves.

A gorgeous trolley was pushed to the center of the stage by two sexy bunny girls, and then stood aside, waiting quietly.

"Everyone, this is our last item for auction today, and it is the item you are looking forward to."

"Devil Fruit!"

The host lifted off the raised piece of cloth on the trolley.

Suddenly, a square glass box was exposed, and inside the box was a fruit with an extremely strange shape.

This fruit, at a glance, knows that it is a devil fruit.

"What kind of devil fruit is this?" Zhou He looked into the glass box, recalling the fruits in the devil fruit illustration book.

After thinking about it for a while, it actually didn't appear in the demon national teacher's illustrated book, that is to say, this is a brand new fruit.

It didn't appear in the illustrated book, and Zhou He didn't know what kind of fruit it was.

However, as long as Zhou He buys it and uses the hand of exploration, he will know.

As for whether to buy it or not?Hehe, Zhou He has a storage bag, which is full of gold.

Calculated according to the ratio, one gram of gold is equal to about six thousand beli.

One hundred kilograms can be exchanged for [-] million peli, and Zhou He has no less than [-] kilograms of gold in stock.

Not to mention one Devil Fruit, even if it is ten or a hundred Devil Fruits, he can afford it.

"This devil fruit is not in the devil's illustrated book, that is to say, this devil fruit is a brand new one that has never appeared before."

"Whether it is a powerful fruit or a tasteless fruit, it all depends on everyone's luck. The starting price of this devil fruit is 1000 million Baileys, and each increase must not be less than [-] million!"

The host immediately announced the starting price loudly.

[-] million Berries isn't too high, and it's not too low either. After all, that's the price for some rubbish Devil Fruits.

However, this is a brand new devil fruit. It may be a super powerful devil fruit, or it may be a very rubbish, very weak fruit, it's a gamble.

But there's also no shortage of rich people who want to get it.

"5000 million, I'll pay 5000 million Baileys!" A voice sounded from the VIP room.

"One hundred and sixty million!"

"7000 million..."

In the private room, there were shouts one after another, and the price was rising steadily.

Those who sat on the top of the ladder below did not bid.

It's not that they don't want to buy it, but that they don't have that much money.

Only the big shots in the private rooms on the second floor can have so much money.

"Billion!"

Zhou He raised the number plate in his hand and said slowly.

The price had already been paid, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on Zhou He.

"One billion, this guest bid one billion, has anyone increased the price, has anyone increased the price?"

When the host heard the price of one billion, he was extremely excited.

One billion, this price is really high, very high.

"Hmph! I doubt that guy has that much money." At this moment, a cold snort came from one of the private rooms on the second floor.

As soon as these words were uttered, the venue that had just started to discuss became quiet again, and they all looked at Zhou He, including the host.

"Oh, grandstanding." Zhou He said lightly.

Afterwards, Zhou He took out a box with a length, width and height of more than one meter from his feet.

Zhou He tossed the box lightly, and threw it directly on the stage.

"The gold inside should be worth one billion." Zhou He said lightly.

When the host heard this, he immediately went forward, stood up the box with great difficulty, and then opened the box.

Suddenly, a piece of pure gold appeared in front of him and in front of everyone.

"It's gold, it's real, hurry up, get the scale!" The host immediately shouted to the girl beside him after checking it.

Not long after, a scale was brought up, and the host immediately lifted the gold and put it on the scale with difficulty.

"Two hundred kilograms, there are two hundred kilograms, and the gold value here is about 12 billion Baileys!" The host blushed and immediately shouted loudly.

Immediately, the people in the private room fell silent and stopped talking.

"One billion second time, third time, deal!" The host immediately confirmed the deal with a small hammer.

"Congratulations, Mr. No. 350, this devil fruit belongs to you."

Hearing this, Zhou He smiled slightly, and immediately stretched out his hand to take a picture, and saw the devil fruit in the glass box directly smashed through the glass box and flew into Zhou He's hand.

"what--"

This scene immediately made the host exclaim.

However, seeing that the devil fruit fell into Zhou He's hands, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for coming, today's auction has come to a perfect conclusion, and all the guests who have bought items, please come to the backstage to trade and collect the items." The host said.

……

"Sir, what's the matter with you?" Hicks on the side asked Zhou He in a daze.

"No...it's nothing, Hicks, you are so lucky to have met a good devil fruit." Zhou He looked at Hicks with a smile.

"First... sir, do you mean... did you buy this for me?" Hicks was stunned for a moment.

"Of course I bought it for you, otherwise, why would I spend a billion on it?" Zhou He said with a smile.

At this moment, Hicks' heart trembled for a moment, and then, a feeling of incomparable joy surged in his heart.

She really didn't expect that this devil fruit was actually bought for her.

"Thank you, sir!" Hicks immediately thanked Zhou He excitedly.

"Okay, let's go get the blood ore first, and then find a clean place to eat the fruit for you." Zhou He immediately walked towards the backstage.

Seeing this, Hicks quickly followed behind Zhou He, holding Zhou He by the corner of his clothes.

Although her sense of knowledge is very domineering, and she can distinguish some buildings, animals, plants, humans, etc., but she can't detect obstacles such as stairs, ditches, etc.

Therefore, when she and Zhou He left, they always held Zhou He by the corner of his clothes.

And Zhou He walked slowly because of this, and always reminded Hicks to be careful of the steps under his feet.

"Sir, you just said that I was lucky, which means do you know what kind of devil fruit this is?" Hicks asked Zhou He curiously.

"Well, it's a very powerful fruit." Zhou He sold a pass.

"Sir, what kind of fruit is this?" Hicks asked again.

"Hehe, you'll know when you eat it." Zhou He smiled and didn't tell.

Although Hicks was very curious and wanted to know, but after hearing what Zhou He said, he had no choice but to give up.

Not long after, Zhou He came backstage.

Instead of being crowded with many buyers, he was directly invited to a room by the host.

"Sir, one hundred blood mines are in this box, please check them!" The host said flatteringly.

This is a big customer.

The devil fruit plus these one hundred blood diamonds is only one billion.

The box of gold that Zhou He gave was worth 12 billion, and Zhou He didn't intend to ask him to make up the difference. Isn't this a super rich man?

Zhou He swept his mind away, nodded immediately and said, "Well, by the way, do you still sell blood diamonds here?"

"I can offer a high price, one hundred thousand pieces." Zhou He suddenly said to the host.

"Ten... one hundred thousand?" The host was obviously shocked by the price.

"Well, sir, I can't make the decision. I'll invite our boss over." The host said quickly.

"Okay, you go."

Immediately, the host left here directly.

And Zhou He, seeing that there was no one else in the room, immediately waved his hand and put the blood ore in this box into the storage box.

The two of them didn't wait long. About 5 minutes later, a fat old man came in, followed by the host and two strong bodyguards.

"Sir, are you bidding one hundred thousand Berries for blood ore? I am the owner of this auction, Edelman, and I am also the Earl of the Empire." Edelman said with a smile on his face.

"Hello Earl Edelman, I want to buy blood ore, and I need at least [-]." Zhou He nodded and said.

"Ten thousand?" Edelman frowned slightly, thinking about it.

One blood ore is five kilograms, and ten thousand is [-] kilograms of blood ore.

In the Mara Empire, the control of blood ore was extremely strict. With his status, he could only buy one hundred kilograms per month.

Every month his fleet needs to use blood ore to attract sea beasts for capture.

With the help of blood ore to capture sea beasts, he can earn at least 500 million Baileys per month.

However, it requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it also takes a lot of time. If you are not careful, your subordinates will die. Although he never gives them compensation, it is also troublesome to recruit new people.

Selling blood ore is simply a worthless business.

Therefore, Edelman immediately made up his mind, and he made this deal.

"Sir, you also know that the blood ore is extremely strictly controlled in the empire. It is too difficult to obtain [-]." Edelman did not agree, but he did not refuse.

"Count Edelman, I think you should have a solution." Zhou He said with a light smile.

When Edelman heard the words, he immediately showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said, "Sir, you really gave me a big problem."
