Even with a single drop of blood, I will still be invincible!

This is a magnificent building, resembling an ancient castle.

The outer walls were built of golden boulders, and the bronze gate was engraved with patterns that Su Mubai could not understand. Five large characters were written on the plaque above the gate.

Donghai Auction House

Putting away the frost, Su Mubai stepped into the lobby on the first floor.

The hall was filled with dazzling crystal chandeliers, gleaming marble floors, and walls adorned with famous paintings and auction item descriptions, all amidst the aroma of spices and the sounds of conversation.

Although the player army has not yet entered the city, there are still quite a few locals visiting this place.

The lobby on the first floor was very spacious. Su Mubai looked around and saw that there were probably dozens of windows.

These windows are where items are consigned and purchased.

Here, players can list items and set a starting bid.

Generally speaking, for a 24-hour consignment period, Donghai Auction House will charge a 5% fee.

Of course, you can also pay to extend the consignment period; the fee will increase by 1% for each additional day.

In addition to the starting price, you can also set a buy-it-now price. If someone is willing, they can buy it directly at the buy-it-now price without having to wait for the consignment period to end.

However, after Su Mubai learned about it, he discovered that the arrivals and the locals were not using the same auction system.

In other words, players cannot buy items consigned by locals, and locals cannot bid on items from the Descendants.

It is said that this is a rule set by the Multiverse Game to protect the interests of the invaders in the early stages of the game, so as not to be outcompeted by the locals of the Forbidden Land.

After all, the players have only just arrived in this world and their financial resources are far inferior.

According to staff, the two auction systems will only merge after a certain number of players break through to the second tier.

This is good news for players who want to buy things.

But for a seller like Su Mubai, this is not good news.

The items he wants to sell are currently unaffordable for most players.

Even someone as wealthy as the world, possessing the SSS-level [God of Wealth] talent, is now seen as a poor man by Su Mubai.

"Sir, have you decided what items you want to consign?"

Seeing Su Mubai remain silent, the staff member inside the window whispered a reminder.

"I heard there's an auction being held here?"

Su Mubai gave an irrelevant answer, but the staff member wasn't annoyed. They smiled and said:

"Yes, our Donghai Auction House holds an auction every month, and in addition, we hold a large-scale auction every year."

"The auction this month starts tomorrow."

At this point, the staff member pointed to the right and continued:

"If you want to participate, go up to the second floor from there and buy a ticket first."

"Thanks."

Su Mubai nodded, turned and walked towards the location the other person pointed to, where there was a staircase.

"An outsider actually wants to participate in an auction? I bet he'll be scared off by the ticket prices."

As soon as Su Mubai left, a thin young man standing behind him curled his lip and muttered something under his breath.

In his view, even the invaders who could enter the city so quickly would definitely not be able to afford the auction tickets.

"You underestimate that gentleman."

The staff member smiled. Having been involved in auctions for many years, he could tell at a glance that Su Mubai's equipment was extraordinary.

Several of them are epic-level or higher treasures.

How could someone like that be scared off by ticket prices?

……

Upon reaching the second floor, Su Mubai was genuinely taken aback by the ticket prices.

Even the cheapest back seat costs a full thousand gold coins.

The most expensive private rooms cost as much as 100,000!

This is just the ticket price; how expensive will the items at auction be?

Looking at the nearly one million gold coins in his backpack, Su Mubai suddenly realized that he wasn't as rich as he had imagined.

At this ticket price, this amount of money is definitely not enough to participate in the auction.

"Sir, which type of ticket would you like to buy? I must remind you that they are almost sold out."

The young lady at the ticket counter winked at Su Mubai.

Can you get a discount on this?

Don't take advantage of it, you bastard.

Su Mubai decisively took out the [East Sea Token].

The next moment, the young lady's expression brightened, and she quickly stood up, handing over a gold card with both hands.

"So you are the City Lord's distinguished guest, Mr. Bai Ye. This is your VIP card, please keep it safe."

[VIP Card No. 007]: You will receive a notification every time an auction at the East Sea Auction House begins. You can use the VIP card to directly enter VIP Room No. 007.

(Owning it makes you a VIP at Donghai Auction House.)

"Free?"

Su Mubai was slightly taken aback; the benefits of the [East Sea Token] were even greater than he had imagined.

"Of course, the East Sea Auction House is the City Lord's property, so you will naturally receive VIP treatment upon your arrival."

"VIP treatment?"

Su Mubai was overjoyed and accepted the card.

“You will enjoy a 50% discount when you consign or auction items with us.”

"In addition, if you are short of funds at the auction, we can provide you with an interest-free loan of up to 10,000 Soul Coins."

Soul Coins!

Su Mubai's eyes lit up upon hearing this; he had finally heard this name.

He quickly asked, "What's the exchange rate between Soul Coins and Gold Coins?"

"Normally, one Soul Coin is worth 10,000 Gold Coins, but very few people would exchange Soul Coins for Gold Coins."

The receptionist shook her head and patiently explained:

"Each Soul Coin contains a trace of time energy, equivalent to one hour of lifespan."

"However, the time energy within the Soul Coin cannot be absorbed directly; it requires a special method to refine it."

"The Soul Stone is forged by powerful individuals who extract time energy from Soul Coins."

"Mr. Baiye, how much do you think lifespan is worth?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mubai suddenly realized.

Lifespan, naturally, has a different price for different people.

For a dying person, even an hour of life is priceless.

But for many people, an hour is nothing; they might just waste it by daydreaming.

Su Mubai also realized that in the Forbidden Land of Gods, Soul Coins were the only truly valuable currency.

As for gold, silver, and copper coins, they are only enough to meet daily expenses. They may be able to buy some equipment and items in the early stages, but the really good things can only be bought with soul coins.

He couldn't help but think of the "God of Wealth" talent that made him incredibly wealthy.

It is obvious that the other party has hidden most of the information.

Otherwise, such talent would definitely not qualify as SSS-level!

But this is understandable, since the two are not familiar with each other.

Putting away the VIP card, Su Mubai took out all the first-grade brilliant gems and placed them on the front desk.

Are these gems qualified for auction?

“A dazzling gemstone is certainly qualified.”

The receptionist nodded: "I wonder if Lord Baiye would like to use gold coins or soul coins for the transaction?"

"Soul Coins".

"Okay, our suggested starting bid is 5 Soul Coins per Soul Coin. Based on past experience, the final transaction price should be 9-10 Soul Coins."

"The auction house will charge a 10% commission on the total auction amount."

"Of course, given your status, you only need to pay 5%."

"Mr. Bai Ye, is this alright?"

"no problem."

Su Mubai nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Can the value of the items consigned for auction be used as part of my auction quota?"

He was afraid that if there were good items, he wouldn't have any money in his bag and wouldn't be eligible to participate in the auction.

"It might not work for others, but it can work for you."

"Is that so?"

Su Mubai was overjoyed and waved his hand to take out all the intermediate-level life soul stones.

"These are all consigned for auction and traded using Soul Coins."
