He didn't know if there were many high-quality woods like this in the world. If there were many, he might consider collecting them.
If the quantity was small, it would require time to collect, and he certainly wouldn't waste his time on that.
After the auction, some crystal cores appeared. Seeing that the price was reasonable, he bought them as well.
He also discovered some valuable items. In other worlds, these items would at least fetch four to five times their current price, but here, the prices were extremely low.
Since he encountered them, he wouldn't let them go. He bought them all.
Unknowingly, he had spent tens of millions of spirit coins.
However, these tens of millions could be resold for a hundred million.
Because he spent so lavishly, many people noticed him.
Even Luo Jiahao, who had arranged for him to enter, was surprised. He never expected this person to be so wealthy.
An hour or two passed, and Zhou Yan noticed that his dark gold equipment was being put up for auction.
On Canglan Continent, although accessories were relatively rare, they could still be bought.
His two dark gold quality accessories had average attributes and skills, and were worth about six million spirit coins.
"Next, as you can all see, is a dark gold quality earring. I'm sure many beautiful ladies are tempted."
"Dark gold quality accessories are not common. Missing this chance will lead to lifelong regret..."
"The starting bid is ten million. Please, esteemed guests, make your offers!"
"I bid eleven million!"
"Eleven point one million!"
"Twelve million!"
...
However, the auctioneer here set the starting bid at ten million spirit coins.
And there were many bidders, like aunties selling vegetables in the market, each shouting loudly!
He looked at the most aggressive bidders. Without exception, they were all men, each accompanied by a good-looking woman.
There are never a shortage of men willing to spend money on women in this world.
Wait... he realized he was one of them! (ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)
"Thirty million!"
When the final bid was placed, everyone looked at the man.
The man appeared ordinary, with no remarkable features, but his deep eyes were filled with a wise glow.
Moreover, he was accompanied by several incredibly beautiful women.
At this moment, Zhou Yan felt the words "Child of Destiny" flashing above the man's head.
Every world had a Child of Destiny, but he was even more formidable than these Children of Destiny.
Because he was a cheat!
The second dark gold quality accessory just came out.
The man again domineeringly declared, "Thirty million!"
His words silenced everyone else.
Who could blame him when he could afford such a high price?
Zhou Yan felt a bit of regret. He should have brought out more equipment.
The auction prices far exceeded the intrinsic value of the items.
With thirty million, he could have bought at least five dark gold quality accessories in other worlds.
This was the advantage of being a cheat.
The next items auctioned were also his: A-quality skill books and class change scrolls.
These two items were also in high demand in this world, so as soon as they appeared, they immediately captured everyone's attention. As soon as the auctioneer announced the price, many people vied to bid.
Each item was sold for four to five times its total value.
But this was only at auction. If traded in large quantities, the price might not be this high.
Therefore, this world was not suitable for reselling business. It was too much of a waste of time.
He didn't buy anything else afterward. He was waiting for the two S-quality buildings to appear.
After waiting for another hour, he finally saw the two buildings being auctioned.
"Next, allow me to introduce this item to you all. As you can see, this is a building, and a very high-quality one..."
The auctioneer began to introduce the building, and when he mentioned it was an S-quality building, everyone was shocked.
An S-quality building was indeed astonishing, and such high-quality buildings were indeed rare and precious.
However, after they examined the building's attributes, they were immediately disappointed.
"I thought it was some kind of building, but it's just one that can kill monsters. Such a building is useless."
"There are endless monsters in the real world, why would anyone need a building like this?"
"Although this building is of high quality, it's utterly useless. We can get various rewards by killing monsters outside, so why bother spending time and effort building this superfluous structure? It's truly disappointing."
"What a shame, I thought it was something else. This type of building has appeared before, just of lower quality. And the rewards weren't any better than those from external monsters. It's a complete waste of time."
"This building is essentially a chicken rib. If I have the time to build it, I'd rather kill more monsters in the real world."
"This building is not worth wasting resources on."
...
Everyone was extremely disappointed; not a single person was interested in such a building.
This type of building, while not abundant, had appeared in this world before.
Countless people had already regretted building them because they were so useless.
This building was essentially a monster den. If they had the time to kill the monsters inside, they might as well kill more monsters in the real world, thereby reducing their numbers.
So, despite its high quality, no one wanted to buy it.
Because the number of monsters in their real world was inexhaustible, why bother building such a chicken-rib building?
Even the man with the "Child of Destiny" aura showed no interest, clearly unwilling to waste his resources on such a building.
Zhou Yan curiously clicked on the building's attributes. He didn't believe an S-quality building would be a chicken rib.
[Building: Spider Demon Lair]
[Quality: S]
[Description: A passage to a spider cave. Killing the monsters inside yields rewards.]
Zhou Yan was surprised. Wasn't this similar to a dungeon building?
He looked at the reactions of others and listened to their words, and he understood something.
For them, this building was indeed a chicken rib.
The main reason was that their world had too many monsters, posing a serious threat to their safety.
Furthermore, the monster drop rates inside this building were no better than those in the outside world, and death inside was permanent.
Why would they waste their base area by building such a thing?
But Zhou Yan was different.
He wasn't from this world.
If his territory had an extra place to fight monsters and get treasure chests, it would only be beneficial, with no downsides.
Most importantly, even if his residents died inside, he could revive them through the [Underworld].
Therefore, this building was all advantages and no disadvantages for him.
If such a good building were placed on Canglan Continent, every lord would scramble to buy it.
Yet, the people here looked upon it with disdain.
He had truly come to the right place.
He wouldn't mind having a hundred of such buildings.
He even wanted to ask: Are there any more?
