"Genetic researcher's research notes?" Feng Lin's eyes brightened as he stared at the microchip for a long time.
Being a geneticist was an occupation that didn't conflict with being a cultivator. They were completely different yet complementing each other.
Simply speaking, cultivators stepped onto the path of cultivation through awakening mythological genes.
Geneticists delved deeply into the research of genes, developing it into an unfathomable subject and applying it to create all sorts of wondrous items.
One was a scholar while the other was a martial artist. One researched the truth while the other grasped transcendent powers.
Those who awakened mythological genes but hadn't truly become interstellar cultivators were usually referred to as apprentices.
Right now, Feng Lin was a cultivator apprentice. He had to evolve his basic genes into primeval genes before he could officially step onto the path of a cultivator.
Similarly, there was a huge barrier for geneticists. Before they succeeded, they were called genetic researchers and were equivalent to cultivator apprentices. They weren't true geneticists yet.
The microchip that Feng Lin had his eyes on was actually the research notes of a genetic researcher.
When he was sleepy, someone would send him a pillow.
Although it was just basic knowledge, to Feng Lin who had the intention to walk on the path of a geneticist, this was a great gift that he mustn't miss out on.
The only thing that troubled him was that the research notes were being auctioned off. Although the starting price was not expensive, only 5,000 star coins, if he were to encounter a crazy person, the price would rise steadily. He only had 40000 star coins on him, and it might not be enough.
However, this was something that he had to obtain no matter what.
This was troublesome!
Feng Lin frowned as he stood at his original location, thinking of a solution.
"Why? Do you have your eyes on something? "Tan Xiaoqin could sense his dilemma and went up to ask.
"I wish to buy this research note! But this needs to be auctioned off. I only have 40000 star coins on me now. I'm afraid it won't be enough! "Feng Lin didn't have anything to hide. He should listen to the professionals.
"Research notes of a genetic researcher?" Seeing the item that Feng Lin had his eyes on, Tan Xiaoqin was shocked. Did this person want to become a geneticist?
Being a geneticist was a money-burning occupation. If one wanted to succeed, other than having extraordinary talent, they would also need to spend a lot of money on it.
Equipment, materials, techniques … all of these required money. The more, the better.
The more money they spent, the faster they would learn.
Being a geneticist was such a strange occupation. But once they succeeded, they would be able to earn a huge amount of money. They wouldn't need to worry about money for the rest of their lives.
But one must know that even if ten thousand people studied mythological genes, not one would be able to become a geneticist.
One in ten thousand, it could be said that risk and opportunity coexisted.
A nouveau riche, an absolute nouveau riche!
This person actually wanted to learn the knowledge of geneticists. Since he dared to spend so much money on this, his net worth was definitely not low!
In Tan Xiaoqin's heart, Feng Lin's status rose imperceptibly, reaching an unreachable height.
However, as a shopping guide, it was a taboo to pry into a customer's secrets.
Tan Xiaoqin pretended not to notice Feng Lin's intentions, but the smile on her face grew even sweeter.
In order to leave a good impression on Feng Lin and fight for a chance to interact with him in the future, she smiled lightly. "That's simple!"
"Oh?" It was his problem, yet she spoke of it in such a relaxed manner. Feng Lin was bewildered as he listened patiently.
Tan Xiaoqin didn't want to keep him guessing. "There are many ways to trade in the Thousand Gold Building, but most of the time, there are two. One is selling, and the other is auctioning. Selling means payment on delivery, there is no need to mention anything else. However, some products were very rare and unique. At this time, they would be traded through online virtual auctions, and the highest bidder would win. This auction was meticulous and required a strategy. This research notebook isn't a popular item, and the starting bid is 5,000 star coins. There won't be many competitors. Therefore, I suggest that you directly raise the price to 10000 when you bid later. "
"Mhm!" Feng Lin nodded. Although raising the bid by so much in one go made him feel a little foolish, he didn't care about the additional 5,000 star coins. What he cared about was whether he would be able to obtain the research notebook or not.
As though she could sense Feng Lin's hesitation, Tan Xiaoqin explained, "In an auction, every time the price exceeds 10000 star coins, it would be a huge threshold. It would cause many people to back off."
"But what if someone continues to raise the bid?" Feng Lin asked again.
"Very simple! Then you just have to raise the bid by 1 star coin above that person's bid. "Tan Xiaoqin smiled, appearing to be very confident.
"1 star coin?" Feng Lin confirmed that he didn't hear wrongly.
"Yes! 1 star coin, no more, no less! There are no rules or restrictions in online auctions. It's fine to raise the bid by 1 star coin each time. If you do this a few times, you would be sending out a message. That is, you would be willing to pay any price to the end, causing those who weren't determined to back off. If it was a real geneticist's research notebook, it would definitely be priceless. However, this is merely an entry-level research notebook. Not many people would be willing to pay such a high price for it. You have a high chance of obtaining it by paying a very low price, "Tan Xiaoqin said confidently.
There were so many things to pay attention to in an auction!
Feng Lin nodded, silently praising the fact that he had hired the right person.
One couldn't help but say that this Tan Xiaoqin was a very intelligent woman.
Very soon, it was 9 PM.
The virtual auction in the Thousand Gold Building had officially started. Customers could place their orders through the internet, and once they got their hands on the item, an AI robot would send it over.
The rare items entered the auction mode one by one, starting from the lowest to the highest. The higher the price, the more valuable the item was.
Feng Lin waited patiently. Very soon, the third item appeared. It was none other than the research notebook.
The instant the auction started, he instantly raised the bid. "10000 star coins!"
The virtual auction fell into a long period of silence. Those active IDs were all dead silent.
As expected, it was useful!
These potential competitors didn't respond even after a long time. It was as though they were shocked by Feng Lin's sudden bid of 10000 star coins. They might be able to obtain it just like that.
"10000 star coins, going once!"
"10000 star coins, going twice!"
After a long time, the virtual auction system had already started its countdown. Once the bid reached the third time, the research notebook would belong to Feng Lin.
Seeing that it was about to succeed, someone finally couldn't hold it in anymore and started to raise the bid.
"11000 star coins!"
This person increased the bid by 1,000 star coins in one go.
However, this wasn't the end. After this person took the lead, the others started to bid as well.
“11500！”
“12000！”
“13000！”
…
The auction gradually reached its climax. The price continued to soar and very soon, it broke through the 10,000 mark, reaching a total of 20000 star coins.
Feng Lin's heart sank. He didn't expect so many people to suddenly appear. The competition was much more intense than he had imagined.
However, this research notebook was something he had to obtain. It was impossible for him to give it up.
Even if he had to spend all of his 40000 star coins, he wouldn't feel any heartache at all.
Feng Lin was a very opinionated person. Once he made up his mind, he wouldn't hesitate too much.
He called out his new price again.
