Interstellar cultivation master

In the early morning, the faint imitation sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the conference room of the arena.On the soft single sofa seat, a few people sat scattered, most of them lazily crossed their legs, as if they hadn't woken up from their sleep.At this time, the wall they were facing suddenly flickered and turned into a live broadcast screen, showing the wonderful battle scenes of the past two days.

The main brain AI's inorganic voice sounded: [Compared with last month, this month's net profit continued to decline.After analyzing the customers, it was found that the reason was the Sand Scorpion Bandit Group.Since a few months ago, their mid-level and high-level players have rarely come to the arena for consumption, and they have not yet recovered.There are fewer advanced consumptions, and the number of customers who bet tens of millions or hundreds of millions has decreased by [-]%.The Treasure Trade Group, Firebird Star Bandit Group and Rose Mercenary Group had no special performance. 】

Even if the neutral zone has many "mystery customers" from outside, the four major groups as neighbors are also their main source of customers.It only takes one source of customers to go wrong and their bottom line is going to be bleak.So for the sake of their own interests, they never want to see the four major groups pinching each other too hard.

"I heard that the Firebird Star Thief Group made a big deal? That group of birds has been quite generous recently, and they are very active in the arena, auction house, and black market. The scorpions are seriously injured and are busy assembling starships, Buy mechas, and privately contact the players in the A-level sentinel area of ​​our arena, luring them to become scorpions."

"What do they mean? Poaching our corners?"

"If we are poached by them, it will be our dereliction of duty." One of the men said lightly, "We should teach those scorpions a lesson. The firebird is not easy to mess with, and our neutral zone is not easy to mess with. Wait for them When a high-level person comes to the arena, they don’t need to hint, just express it directly, and they will understand what to do.”

Immediately afterwards, two teenagers wearing masks appeared on the live broadcast screen. ai's narration without any emotion: [These are two new dark horses that have appeared in the past two days.They have won more than ten consecutive battles, and are currently ranked at the forefront of the high-level sentinel area. 】

"High-level sentinel area?" Another man spread his hands exaggeratedly, "Do we seem to be free? We need to take care of anything?!" They are permanent high-level sentinels in the arena, and all they need to do is to receive super VIPs VIPs, sentinel guides, wasting their time talking about cannon fodder and offal.

[Of course they don't need to pay attention to their records. What needs to be paid attention to is that they have won a dozen games and won a lot of money for a group of people.Among them were several VIPs from the Firebird Star Pirates and the Rose Mercenaries, each of whom earned billions of star coins because of their winning streak.Even they themselves kept betting on themselves, and got one billion star coins in just two days.Of course, so far, Arena has made a lot of money from them.However, if they are allowed to continue their winning streak, it is very likely that a large number of viewers will follow suit and bet, which will damage our interests. 】

"These two children are really confident." A high-level sentinel laughed, "Why are you in a hurry? If you win, you lose. Sooner or later, the money they make will be spit out."

[I just think that letting them spit it out earlier can avoid some risks. 】

"Whatever you want, as long as it doesn't harm our interests, don't bring one or two cannon fodder and miscellaneous things in front of us."

[Okay, then I will make them have to lose next time. 】The ai in the arena transformed into a virtual humanoid state, and projected in front of the live broadcast screen as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, 【In addition, I recently heard an interesting word from my brother-upgrade potion.It is said that the Treasure Trade Group got some good things. 】His so-called brother is the mastermind AI of exchanges, red light districts, auction houses and other places.

Several high-level sentinels were still indifferent: "How many times have this kind of fake news appeared, we are all used to it. The guys from the Treasure Trade Group like to brag the most. Bragging their useless stuff It seems that they are the only ones in the whole universe. The purpose is to create momentum and sell for a lot of money in the auction house."

"If it's really an upgrade potion, why are they willing to sell it? Let's talk about it first after upgrading their A-rank sentinels to Tier-A. Hehe, but speaking of it, they seem to be a little secretive these past few months. When I see something like this, I want to make a lot of money from them."

In the corner of the lounge, the eyes of the humanoid AI flickered.The name of Shen Huichuan's opponent in the next battle changed instantly, and it was changed to He Yuan—yes, as two "ordinary people" who are getting along well in the high-level sentinel area, there is nothing better than letting them fight It's more of a gimmick.As for Liu Jinhuan, his opponent quietly changed to another top ten sentinel.

It's a pity that the master and apprentice have already left here, and they may not come back in a short period of time.The small moves made by the arena mastermind AI are doomed to be meaningless for the time being.

-

The neutral zone is full of luxury goods, the exchange, the arena, the auction house, the red-light district, each place is a gold-selling cave in a different sense.Different people will always find places they are interested in here and are willing to spend a lot of money.Even if you don't like gambling, men and women, or ordinary commodities, everyone will always have something they want but can't get.The auction house exists precisely to satisfy the desires of these people.

All the good things that are hard to find on the exchange are in the auction house.Perhaps this thing may not be able to fetch tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, but it can far exceed its own value.Even if it is an ordinary-looking stone, as long as an auctioneer thinks it is unusual, its value will be completely different.

Shen Huichuan took Liu Jinhuan into the auction house, looked up at the live broadcast on the central screen divided into 20 yuan.There are a total of [-] large venues in the auction house, which can hold [-] auctions at the same time.Of course, each auction has a different theme and always attracts the right customers.

The Sentinel Wizard Auction—yes, the live Sentinel Wizard Auction, also launched today, will start in about half an hour.

The doll ai who guided the guests enthusiastically showed the master and apprentice the "boutiques" at the auction: [The finale item of today's auction is a rank-a sentinel on the verge of berserk, and a rank-b guide.Come to think of it, guests, those are A-rank sentinels and B-rank guides! !It can be ranked in the entire chaotic area! !Of course, the source of our goods is absolutely guaranteed, and the procedures are complete, which will not cause any trouble to customers. 】

Complete procedures?Hehe, the Federation and the Empire have long promulgated laws prohibiting human trafficking, especially prohibiting the human trafficking of sentinel guides, so as to prevent their own dark forces from sending combat power to each other.The so-called complete procedures, where is the complete procedures?As expected of a neutral zone, any ai can talk wildly.

"..." Liu Jinhuan pressed the mute, searched the product catalog for Master thoughtfully, and communicated with the master next to him with consciousness, [Master, the lowest-level product is the d-level guide, it should be just for the warm-up of the following products, Only then did she get transferred out of the exchange.Most of the buyers came because of A-level sentinels and B-level guides, and D-level guides should not be robbed by us. 】

【hope so. 】Shen Huichuan called up other auctions to have a look, and the theme was indeed different.Among them is the theme of mechas. The mechas in the auction range from the most common low-level beast mechas to the high-end humanoid mechas. The cheapest starting price is tens of millions of star coins, and the most expensive ones are followed by a string of zeros.

No wonder Ryan said in the book that all mecha manufacturing masters will never be short of money.As long as they build an advanced mecha, the profits will roll in, so why worry about money?However, it is not easy to raise a mecha manufacturing master in the early stage, and it requires a high investment, and at least insist on investing for more than three to forty years.

Of course, the master and apprentice are not short of money now.

Half an hour later, the auction for Sentinel Guides will begin soon.Shen Huichuan and Liu Jinhuan spent 20 star coins to get two admission tickets, and then, under the guidance of the humanoid AI, went to the temporary lounge to change into a dark gray robe specially prepared for guests, and put on a white mask .

This is to hide the identity of all guests and ensure the privacy of the guests.Of course, there are also people who are willing to show their faces, let everyone present know what they have photographed, and show off their financial resources nakedly. It all depends on personal choice.

When Shen Huichuan and Liu Jinhuan entered the arena, there were already many people inside.The dark gray robe, matched with the white mask, looks weird no matter how you look at it.It's like a group of ghosts hiding in the dark night, looking at the products displayed on the stage with cold eyes-yes, these sentinel guides are no longer "people", in their eyes, they are just "commodities" that are bought and sold casually.

[Dear guests, our Sentinel Guide auction starts now!I believe that everyone can't wait long ago and wants to see the finale products!However, as usual, before the auction enters its climax, we need to do some warm-up.Perhaps, among the pre-heated products, there are also those you are interested in? 】

The host is a robot ai whose appearance is no different from that of a human. It looks like a mature woman with a hot figure and very attractive eyes: [The first auction item, a d-rank male guide.This is an older guide whose appearance may not be attractive.However, he has decades of experience in counseling, and he can even help high-level sentinels calm their spirits, making him a very cost-effective choice. 】

The guide, who was pushed onto the stage in a cage, had graying hair, his wrinkled face was numb, without any emotional response, as if he had already gotten used to this kind of inhumane treatment.

Someone couldn't help muttering below: "Why is he older, he is an immortal at all!! Even if it is useful for high-level sentinels, it won't take long to buy it back! Maybe he will die when?"

The host smiled unchanged, picked up an instrument and touched the elderly guide.The guide seemed to have been shocked by an electric shock, his numb expression immediately turned into pain and fright, and he instinctively hid to the other side of the cage.And the instrument also made a sound at this time: [The bone age is seventy, and the service life exceeds the bone age. 】

The host continued: 【Now the average human life span has reached 150 years, as long as you take care of him carefully, you can use him for at least another 70 years.What are you dissatisfied with?His starting price is only 500 million star coins.Maybe, without spending much, you can take him away!Now, start bidding. 】

"600 million!"

"700 million!!"

Amidst the sound of bidding, Shen Huichuan silently looked at the elderly guide in the cage with a face full of pain, expressionless.
