An enhanced version of Warstar!
Oppressive! Incomparably oppressive!
This seemed to be a well-planned scheme. No matter what the independent academy brought out, no one cared about it, while any ordinary item from Flowerless Star Academy would be enthusiastically pursued by their colleagues in the company.
In the blink of an eye, the first twenty items were auctioned off. Flowerless Star Academy had 260 million points, while the independent academy had zero points.
This was an inconceivable disparity!
The eleven elders of the independent academy paled. It was clear that Flowerless Star Academy had used their vast influence, pooling almost everyone's points together in order to deal a fatal blow to their opponent.
"It's over … It's all over …" An old professor from the independent academy was in a daze, muttering to himself in disappointment.
Everyone knew that the next item to appear was the antimatter gun. This was a top-notch killing weapon of the Law Realm, and once it was brought out, it would surely attract an even crazier pursuit. From the looks of it, if those ordinary items could be sold for 260 million, then the antimatter gun would be worth at least 500 million.
The independent academy only had one last item left: Xia Fei's AI combat robot, a powerful weapon that could mimic law power. However, could a single AI combat robot make up for the difference of over 700 million points?
Most importantly, the entire company was on Star Academy's side, so no matter how outstanding Xia Fei's masterpiece was, no one would bid for it.
Gritting his teeth, old man Flynn clenched his fists and stood up, like an enraged old wolf, ready to charge forward and perish together with those fellows who had been laughing at him.
Xia Fei reached out and held him back, sternly saying, "We can't give up until the very last moment. We haven't lost yet."
Flynn let out a bitter laugh. He looked around at his dejected colleagues from the independent academy and sorrowfully said, "Do you still think that there's hope for a comeback? Look around. The triumvirate of Star Academy has already used their influence to control this auction. We'll only be humiliating ourselves if we continue to wait! "
Xia Fei smiled and nonchalantly said, "Use your brain and think about it. This situation is already within our expectations. Are the board of directors idiots? Don't they know how powerful Star Academy is? "
Flynn was slightly startled. He lowered his voice and asked, "You mean the board has other considerations?"
Xia Fei did not say a word. He turned on the projected screen and pointed at some of the names that had been selected. "Look, these people have never appeared in the internal files of the company, yet they are able to participate in this auction with pseudonyms. This also means that there is a third force other than the Star Academy and the independent academies, and these people are the key to success or failure."
Flynn hurriedly looked at the screen carefully. He did not expect that while his colleagues were feeling frustrated, Xia Fei was quietly analyzing the list of people participating in the auction, even using the system's search function to pick out a bunch of strangers who were not in the company's records.
His face was slightly flushed. This was probably the difference between him and Xia Fei. They were both in the same predicament. While Flynn and the others were vexed, Xia Fei did not stop thinking for a single second and put his thoughts into practice.
This was what it meant to never give up. Even if there was only the slightest chance, Xia Fei would find it and make use of it.
In comparison, though the professors of the independent institute had lived longer than Xia Fei, they were far behind him in terms of tenacity.
"Could these anonymous people be the board of directors?" Flynn quickly asked as he sat back down.
Xia Fei shook his head and said, "The board of directors doesn't need to be anonymous. I think it's the most mysterious organization in the company, the Summit."
"The Summit?" Flynn almost cried out. The Summit Research Group was not a mysterious organization; it was basically a legend in the company.
A group of the most heaven-defying scientists formed the most powerful research group in the universe. No one knew what the Summit Research Group was working on, and there was no evidence that they even existed.
If the Research Bureau 1 was a paradise for all scientists, then the Summit Research Group was the God of this paradise.
"The Summit … The Summit team is watching this auction. What should we do?" Flynn was already very old, yet he was actually trembling when he heard the word 'Summit'. It was enough to show how powerful this super scientific team was.
Xia Fei's gaze was still firm as he said, "We'll deal with all changes by staying the same. Trust me. In front of AI combat robots, even the Summit is nothing."
Flynn lost his composure. Xia Fei actually dared to call the legendary Summit team a mere fleeting cloud? How tyrannical!
…
"The next item will be the second last item of the day. Because this item is very important, we will invite Flowerless Star Academy's Dean Leica to personally demonstrate it for everyone." The auctioneer made an inviting gesture.
Leica stood up, and the entire auction house was filled with thunderous cheers. It was clear that apart from the people from the independent academy, the rest were all supporters of the Star Academy.
Leica had a proud look on his face as he waved his hand, indicating for everyone to be quiet. Then, he walked onto the auction stage.
At this time, there was already a rather large weapon on the stage. It looked a bit like a half cannon barrel with two handles. This was the antimatter ray gun that Leica was so proud of.
Antimatter was extremely difficult to control. Once it went out of control, it would form the initial state of the Black Death. As the Black Death expanded, it would evolve into a disaster if it wasn't stopped. Every scientist considered controlling antimatter as their primary goal.
It was very difficult for this kind of weapon to have any effect in actual combat. The one in Leica's hand was definitely an extra large antimatter weapon. Using it to deal with a single object might be very effective, but if it was to deal with a battleship class giant, it was undoubtedly not enough.
Soon, someone placed a piece of armor plate on the auction stage. This old-fashioned armor plate was extremely heavy, and it was disassembled from some scrapped warships. The Law Realm had eliminated warships a long time ago, so such ancient relics were not rare.
Leica narrowed his eyes and aimed the antimatter ray gun in his hand at the armor plate. Everyone shut their mouths and held their breaths as they quietly waited.
* Bang! *
A mass of black burst out and hit the center of the armor plate.
Then, the antimatter ray gun began to take effect, and in less than a ten-thousandth of a second, the armor plate that weighed dozens of tons completely disappeared without a trace.
There was a mass of darkness in the air, like a shadow cast by the curtain of the night.
Now was the most critical stage. The antimatter ray could undoubtedly destroy any matter, but the most difficult thing was how to end it.
If this mass of deadly antimatter was unstable and spread, then Leica's antimatter ray gun would undoubtedly be a failure.
The scene that the people of the Independent Academy anticipated did not happen. All they saw was the mass of darkness getting weaker and weaker before it finally disappeared.
Woo ~
The entire place was filled with thunderous cheers. Those colleagues who originally supported the Star Academy became even more frenzied as they stood up one after another to congratulate Leica. These people had proud looks on their faces as they looked at the people of the Independent Academy in the corner with mocking gazes. Their attitudes were extremely arrogant.
"Perfect control! This is a gun that can perfectly control the power of antimatter! Its function is simply too amazing! We all know that the most difficult part of using antimatter is how to control it, especially the word 'control'. Who knows how many seniors have stumped!"
"Now, Flowerless Star Academy has actually created an antimatter ray gun that has perfect control. This is simply a miracle!" The auctioneer shouted without any exaggeration. Xia Fei did not need to look to know that this guy was definitely in cahoots with Leica.
"Now, let's invite everyone to bid! Such a perfect antimatter reflector is definitely worth buying!"
The auctioneer's voice had yet to fade when the screen displaying the amount of the auction suddenly flashed, and a rather exaggerated number appeared.
Xia Fei slightly furrowed his eyebrows and did not say anything. Beside him, Flynn and the other colleagues of the Independent Academy all had ugly expressions.
One billion!
That's right, someone had offered a sky-high price of one billion for this machine!
It must be known that Flowerless Fruit had a hundred questions that were said to be heaven-defying, and completing all of them would only give one billion reward points!
Moreover, having one billion reward points meant that one had the authority to open the Level 5 product catalog and exchange for anything one wanted. That was a Level 5 catalog! All of Flowerless Fruit's highest grade products were listed there, and any one of them would be a peerless treasure!
This price directly pushed today's auction to the climax. The crowd was boiling, and the entire Flowerless Fruit Company was boiling!
At this moment, a figure had unknowingly appeared on the auction stage. Everyone took a closer look and realized that it was actually the unknown Xia Fei.
"Return to your seat. You still don't have the qualifications to come onto the auction stage!" The auctioneer mercilessly waved his hand at Xia Fei as he spoke.
"Hahahaha ~"
The entire auction venue was filled with laughter. Star Academy's dean, Leica, was even proudly raising his eyebrows.
However, Xia Fei did not leave. Under the disdainful gazes of the crowd, Xia Fei coldly swept his gaze across the crowd with a look of pity. The corner of his lips curled up strangely, causing everyone to be puzzled. They did not know where Xia Fei's confidence came from.
Turning around, Xia Fei saluted Dean Leica and said in a deep voice, "Senior, I also have something that I would like to show everyone. You are an expert, so how about I ask you to be a judge from the side?"
Leica was somewhat puzzled. He and Xia Fei clearly had an irreconcilable enmity, but Xia Fei actually showed respect to him in front of so many people. He could not figure out what Xia Fei was selling in the end.
There were many people present, and as the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling person. Xia Fei's humble attitude made Leica unable to say anything else. After all, he was the dean of Star Academy, and he could not be too petty in front of the entire company.
Leica slightly nodded and said, "Alright, this old man wants to see what you have brought today."
Xia Fei faintly smiled and softly said, "Believe me, you will not be disappointed with this thing. I want all of you to remember today's moment."
A huge metal box rose on the auction stage, and Xia Fei did not say anything as he walked over and opened the lock on the box.
* Bang! *
The new generation of Mech War God, the strengthened version of the Mech Race's armed leader, Warstar, had appeared!
That's right, Xia Fei's performance was indeed unusual. He was very respectful to his enemies.
