Limited Edition!
After taking a shower, Xia Fei put on his virtual reality glasses and logged onto the interplanetary internet, preparing to participate in the Apex Merchant Firm's auction.
Today was the first day of the auction, and the Windshade Mark IV combat suit was placed at number 97, while the Silver Nocturna Grass would be auctioned off the next day. After all, there were simply too many items to be auctioned, and if they were to be auctioned off in one go, they would have to bid for dozens of hours without rest, and even a man made of steel would not be able to take it.
According to the usual rules of the auction, the more valuable the item, the later it would appear. From the order of the Windshade Mark IV combat suit, it was one of the more valuable items to be auctioned off.
At the same time, far away in New York.
Xiao Haili, the leader of Adjudicator Union's Executive Department's Team 13 and the person in charge of this Crisis grade assessment, arrived at the information processing room on time.
Ten AI computers were neatly arranged in the information processing room, and Xiao Haili sat beside one of them, taking the virtual reality helmet and putting it on.
Just as he was about to log into the interplanetary internet, the other two members of Team 13, Queiroz and Bosingwa, pushed open the door and walked in.
"Why did you come here? We were just looking for you. It's not easy to get a day off. Let's go have a few drinks together. I've been holding it in for a while. Although Earth is extremely backward, the girls here are really not bad," Queiroz, who had always been a playboy, said.
That's right. We've been so busy preparing for the assessment, so it's about time we took a break. What's the point of logging into the interplanetary internet? Come, let's go have a drink. Bosingwa also chimed in.
Xiao Haili took off the virtual reality helmet that he had just put on and said to the two, Im not going. I wish to participate in an auction and buy something.
What auction is more important than drinking? Queiroz asked, puzzled.
The two of them sat down beside Xiao Haili, and Bosingwa rubbed his chin. I remember that today should be the opening day of the Apex Auction. This auction has quite a high standard and is quite famous. What are you planning to buy?
Xiao Haili scratched his head in embarrassment. Hehe, it's nothing much. I saw a Windshade Mark IV combat suit in the catalog, and it's not bad, so...
So you're planning to buy it for Ye Xiaohan, right? Both Queiroz and Bosingwa added at the same time.
Queiroz nudged Bosingwa with his elbow and said with a smirk, Look at his expression; we must have guessed it correctly. Who else would he give it to if not the beautiful Miss Ye?
That's not for sure. I'm also a speed ability user, so Xiao Hai might be a gift to me. Bosingwa joked. The three of them were very good friends. Bosingwa was the oldest, so he usually called Xiao Haili Little Hai, while Queiroz called him Big Brother Hai. They were as close as brothers could be.
They were so close that they were about it that they were. Queiroz had laughed and Merchant, Bosingwa Fei Hai. Don't tell me you'll marry him? "
Xiao Haili was rendered speechless by their prank. He lowered his head to look at the wristwatch on his wrist and said, "Alright, just let me off. The auction is about to begin, so you guys go ahead first. I'll go look for you two after I buy this Windshade Mark IV combat suit."
Bosingwa and Queiroz thought about it. "It's pointless if it's just the two of us. Let's go together after the auction."
With that, the two of them each put on a virtual helmet and set the system to parallel mode. This way, the three of them could watch the auction at the same time.
Xiao Haili logged onto the interplanetary internet and arrived at the Summit Auction. He found a seat in the back row and sat down.
Since it was the first day of the auction, there were more than ten thousand people seated in the venue. Some were talking in low voices, some were coughing, and some were dozing off. There were all kinds of people present, making the place look rather chaotic.
"Xiao Hai, this Windshade Mark IV combat suit is an old model from a long time ago, so its price isn't low. How much did you prepare this time?" Bosingwa asked.
"I still have two hundred million star coins in my bank account. It should be enough," Xiao Haili replied.
"Two hundred million!" Queiroz exclaimed. "The three of us started work on the same day. You can save two hundred million, but how come I don't even have two million? Sigh! Comparisons are truly odious. "
Bosingwa laughed heartily. "Do you even need to ask? Don't you know how much money you spend on those women every year?"
At this moment, a blonde beauty walked up to the auction stage with a radiant smile. She had a voluptuous figure and looked very charming. Queiroz could not help but let out a soft whistle. "This chick sure looks good."
"Greetings, distinguished guests of the Summit Auction House. The annual Summit Auction House is about to begin, and as usual, we've prepared plenty of top-notch goods for everyone. I hope that everyone will be able to bid enthusiastically later on!" The blonde beauty threw a coquettish glance at the audience as she finished speaking, causing the hearts of many perverts to itch.
The auction proceeded very quickly, and the atmosphere was very lively. Those who could participate in the Summit Auction House were all wealthy and extravagant. An auction item could often be sold for three or four times the reserve price.
About two hours later, it was finally time for item number 97, which was the Windshade Mark IV combat suit that both Xia Fei and Xiao Haili had their eyes on.
A young lad walked up to the stage with an exquisite black metal box. The box was engraved with beautiful patterns, and the workmanship was very exquisite.
"Brother Hai, it's finally time for the Windshade Mark IV. If you give it to Ye Xiaohan, she might even give herself to you on the spot if she's happy." Queiroz teased.
Xiao Haili's eyes glowed slightly. "Xiaohan's grandfather once left her a Windshade Mark IV combat suit, but it's a pity that she lost it. She has always regretted this matter, and ever since I found out about it, I've been searching for this Windshade Mark IV combat suit. Unfortunately, this model is just too old, and I can't find it no matter how hard I try. Luckily, there's one in the Summit Auction House's auction catalog this time, or else who knows how long I'll have to search for it."
Bosingwa sighed. "Xiao Hai, you've really put in a lot of effort for Ye Xiaohan. If she doesn't marry you, I'll be the first one to reject her."
The female emcee carefully took out the Windshade Mark IV combat suit from the box and showed it around the stage.
Placing the combat suit back into the box, she took out a nameplate made of metal and showed it to everyone. The nameplate was engraved with a giant black spider that was slowly spinning a web from its mouth.
"We've just found out that this Windshade Mark IV combat suit is actually a limited edition set," the blonde beauty said excitedly.
"Limited edition!" The audience exclaimed.
There were even some who raised their doubts. "I've never heard of the Windshade Mark IV having a limited edition set. You must be lying, right?"
The blonde emcee smiled and said, "This combat suit is indeed a limited edition set. Back then, the Windshade company only produced a total of ninety-nine limited edition sets. This batch of limited edition sets were not publicly sold in the market, but were instead given as gifts to some of the company's big clients. So it's normal that no one has heard of it."
"As we all know, more than ninety percent of female Blackstar Spiders don't spin silk. Their main mission is to give birth, not to hunt for food. Only less than ten percent of female Blackstar Spiders will spin their own webs for some inexplicable reason to catch food. Furthermore, these female Blackstar Spiders will never mate with a male to give birth. They live their lives alone and are known as Black Widows."
The blonde beauty purposely paused for a moment. "This limited edition Windshade Mark IV combat suit is 100% made from the silk of the Black Widows!"
There was a flurry of discussion among the audience. Quite a few of them had been attracted by the rather mysterious words of the blonde beauty and had developed a very high desire to purchase it.
"Now, let us begin the bidding! Is there anyone willing to bid fifty million? "
"Alright, this handsome young man over here is bidding fifty million!"
"Fifty-two million!"
"Fifty-three million!"
"Phantom, how does this limited edition combat suit compare to the original?" Xia Fei asked.
"The silk of the Black Widows is extremely rare. If we use the silk it spits to make a combat suit, its defensive capabilities will be at least thirty percent higher than the original, reaching the High Legendary rank standard!"
"High Legendary rank! This is a High Legendary rank combat suit! "Xia Fei exclaimed.
"This combat suit is very good. Its powerful defensive capabilities are exactly what you need. Xia Fei, you must get your hands on it," Phantom said.
"Yeah." Xia Fei nodded heavily.
