Chapter 3917 Calamity Auction
...How could it be that only Lord Raguel took out the coffin lid?
Whether this is a remnant world from the Void Old Gods Era, or a beacon that will give birth to the fourth node of the [Primordial] in the [Kasyapa] world, it is something that can truly drive the Void Immortals... especially the big shots who are stuck at the third node!
The fourth node's landmarks need no further explanation; they are undoubtedly of paramount importance!
But the remnants of the Void Gods' Era are also exceptionally precious!
It is generally believed that the Void Old Gods Era was a more brilliant, magnificent, and mysterious era than the New Gods Era. The more treasures one can uncover from the Void Old Gods Era, the more one will benefit for life.
The value of this world, "Kasyapa," is immeasurable!
Do it! We have to do it!! No matter what, even if it means taking out a loan, we have to do it!
"Dear guest, our hotel now offers interest-free loans for up to three installments! Of course, you can also choose a repayment plan of up to thirty-six installments on top of the three... Would you like to learn more?"
A Void Immortal on the first floor, looking at the name tag of the young lady with employee number 0055 serving him, couldn't help but swallow subconsciously, "Your hotel... you can even do loans?"
"This is also for the convenience of our VIPs! After all, our hotel hasn't yet started cooperating with [Void Bank]... It's not convenient for VIPs to contact [Void Bank] right now, is it?" Miss 0055's smile became even sweeter. "So, sir, would you like to know more about it?"
This Void Immortal's breathing became somewhat rapid...
It wasn't that they had any designs on this beautiful young lady; none of the Void Immortals present were foolish enough to have any ulterior motives towards the hotel's employees... not a single one!
They're so obedient... Even those guys known for being domineering are incredibly well-behaved, not even daring to glance at the young ladies' stockings!
My heart is racing, simply because of the loan!
As everyone knows, once you enter the world of loans, it's like falling into a deep sea...
"Sir/Madam"
Hiss... I can't take it anymore!
[The Prayer] is absolutely amazing. Her soul is pure, pure, and pure... She even has pure desire!
"Then...would you like to learn a little about it?"
This scene occurred in front of almost every customer's seat on the first floor.
Of course, those with deep pockets might be able to be aloof, but after being drained dry in the previous two rounds of auctions, the Void Immortals will still want to "learn" a little about it!
Hathaway was waiting quietly, giving her employees ample time to recommend loan packages... As for revealing part of the truth about the [Kasyapa] world, wasn't it just to increase the bidding desire of these immortals?
This isn't some kind of conspiracy—after all, you can choose not to participate, and no one's holding a knife to your throat to force you, right!
Why don't we just avoid looking for the legacy of the Void Old Gods? Right?
Why not just remove the beacon from the fourth node of the [Primordial]? Right?
……
Actually, the hotel's female staff members at the "Prayer" booth also have their own chat group!
"Congratulations to Miss 0022 on successfully signing the loan agreement! The loan amount is three million!"
"Yay! KPI achieved!"
"Congratulations to Miss 0071 on successfully signing the loan agreement! The loan amount is five million!!"
"Congratulations to Miss 0099 on successfully closing a deal! Loan amount... ten million!!! Applause from the audience!!"
"Congratulations……"
Of course, no matter how lively the chat group of these female employees is, outsiders have no idea... it's just for their own amusement.
It's really not because of the grand prize of having dinner with Boss Luo if I become the KPI champion!
……
"Loans? Even a dog wouldn't... Oh, because you're a long-time VIP, you can get an interest-free plan of up to 18 installments. Is that a privilege only available to long-time VIPs with me? Hmm... Just tell me briefly!"
Unlike the one-on-one introductions on the first floor, the VIP rooms on the second floor are much more luxurious, with a team of five people providing consultation services directly!
Moreover, the team won't even rush you; they'll just wait on the sidelines. When you need them, the team members will start working—and they'll offer the best deal based on your specific situation!
Looking at the document, which was thicker than a brick, Raguel felt that if he signed his name on the last page, his life might be ruined.
...Or, why not just use the name of the vengeful Michael to sign it?
Just then, a majestic voice suddenly rang out from another VIP box—[Emperor Ziwei] spoke, "Alright, when exactly will the auction rules be announced... and what exactly is the auction method?"
As one of the most prestigious figures in the Heavenly Court, the Ziwei Emperor exudes an air of superiority—when his voice rang out, the noisy venue immediately fell silent!
Many eyes were drawn, intentionally or unintentionally, towards the "Heavenly Palace" private room upstairs.
As a professional hotel manager, Hathaway obviously wouldn't go against the VIPs at this time... The loan recommendation process is also much worse, and many Void Immortals are still wavering. It's time to strengthen these people.
Hathaway smiled slightly and gently patted the microphone.
"Everyone, as you can see, the [Kasyapa] world is a very special world, different from ordinary golden worlds." Hathaway adjusted the star map above everyone's heads again. "It is actually a symbiotic world composed of eighty-one smaller worlds. They share almost the same primordial will, but each world has its own differences!"
……
"It's actually composed of eighty-one small worlds... My god, I've only ever seen twin small worlds! The void truly has everything..."
"I did encounter a pitiful world that was bullied by three suns, and each time civilization restarted, the time was extremely short! The people there had to dehydrate and seal themselves in, it was really miserable!"
……
Hathaway tapped the table lightly again. "Without a doubt, the theme of this [Kasyapa] world revolves around the [Journey to the West] of [Xuanzang] and his disciples. We have prepared a total of eighty-one tribulations for this [Journey to the West]! And what will be officially auctioned are these tribulations!"
"What do you mean?" Emperor Ziwei frowned.
Hathaway bowed slightly towards the direction of the [Emperor Ziwei], and after conveying sufficient emotional value, she said seriously, "We only designed the total number of calamities, but not the content of the calamities... and this part will be designed by the winner of the auction!"
Upon hearing this, the entire place, both upstairs and downstairs, fell silent, clearly everyone was contemplating the "design" matter... Of course, Little Karami was actually waiting for the big shots to speak!
If there are a total of eighty-one tribulations, those upstairs will definitely take the lion's share... They can't possibly take it all, right? So, by that logic, those powerful Void Immortals on the first floor will still be able to get a piece of the pie.
"This so-called 'design' of yours..." the voice of the [Ziwei Emperor] rang out again, "...is there any limitation?"
"No, not at all." Hathaway smiled slightly. "Of course, it's only on the premise of not seriously disrupting the rules of each layer of the world. After all, if things go wrong, it will trigger a chain reaction throughout the entire [Kasyapa] world, and we will intervene. Besides that, the recipient can freely [design] the corresponding layer of the world according to their own wishes... I mean freely!"
hiss--!
In other words, all the immortals present already understood—ostensibly, it was an auction of the calamity's "design," but in reality, it was an auction of the entire layered world, only ultimately serving the purpose of this "Journey to the West"!
Even so, there's still a lot of room for maneuver within it.
Explore the layered world at will, dig up traces of the Void Ancient Gods within... Oh, and design [levels] to stop the protagonists from advancing?
We'll have to see what happens next.
"What if the [design] is too difficult, causing the main characters to fail?" This time it was Lord Raguel's voice.
Hathaway said calmly, "The Journey to the West is a must. If the main characters fail in a certain layer of the world... then naturally they will have to start over from the beginning. If they keep failing, they will keep reincarnating until the end. Conversely, if the main characters successfully overcome the tribulations, then the person who obtains the corresponding layer of the world must withdraw."
hiss--!
……
"Ok?"
"This kind of betting game?"
"If the main characters keep reincarnating, wouldn't those who obtain the next layer of the world be essentially..."
"...Um, I didn't quite hear what you said about the loan plan?"
……
In the private room of the Heavenly Court, Emperor Ziwei quickly glanced at Zhenwu beside him.
[Zhenwu] said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, it seems that we should try to conquer the later layers of the world, as the benefits will be greater."
[Emperor Ziwei] pondered, "The other side probably thinks the same way... as do those guys downstairs. But we can test the waters on the first 10 or 20 floors."
Just then, a clear, cold young voice suddenly rang out from the mysterious third VIP box.
This instantly made Emperor Ziwei and the others prick up their ears... the other party was simply too mysterious!
Those who could ascend to the second floor with them were clearly not from [Void Spirit Mountain]...
The young voice slowly said, "You haven't mentioned the beacon yet. If the main characters can't reach the destination, will the beacon never appear?"
……
This question instantly cooled the atmosphere on the field—the beacon should be the ultimate prize. If the main characters are not allowed to reach the finish line, although they can occupy the corresponding layer world indefinitely, it is ultimately not as appealing as the grand prize.
It's a dilemma to stop the main characters from moving forward, yet also to get them to the finish line!
Hathaway looked around at everyone—finally, the question had come up!
She suddenly had a strange thought: could that mysterious "Grand Duke Pan" be a plant hired by the boss?
"Regarding the Beacon of the Way..." She paused slowly before speaking seriously, "Once the [Journey to the West] is completed and the Beacon of the Way appears, it will be distributed to the recipients in equal proportions as a dividend. This also means that the more layered worlds one obtains, the more Beacon of the Way one will ultimately receive!"
……
Holy crap... a bonus?
"Go for it!! Damn it, we have to get a whole floor done!! I don't care! Even if it means going bankrupt, I'm going to do it!!"
"But even if you get one eighty-first, what good is it? If it's not a complete beacon..."
"Are you stupid? Heaven and the Heavenly Palace will definitely take the lion's share! Just wait for them to come and buy it! If you're only one eighty-first away from winning... just think about it?!"
"hiss……"
"Do it!! Damn it, we have to do it, I don't care! I need a loan!!"
……
"Distinguished guest upstairs, do you have any further questions?" Hathaway asked, looking at VIP room number three, trying to remain calm and polite.
"That's all, you can continue. But it sounds quite interesting... What's the price of a layer world?"
Hathaway nodded, then picked up the auction gavel and tapped it. "Now, let's begin the auction for the first batch of worlds, the second to tenth layers of the [Kasyapa] world... The starting price for each layer of this batch is one million! Each bid must be at least one hundred thousand!"
As everyone knows, a low price at an auction is worthless... What truly influences the final transaction price is the enthusiasm of the shrewd buyers!
"Oh, it's quite cheap. I'll buy one to play with, one million!"
Instantly, Pan Dagong from VIP Box No. 3 was the first to call out a bid!
Hathaway nodded and banged the hammer down. "Second layer of the world, one million for the first time!"
Seeing the silence, Hathaway didn't mind and maintained her rhythm, saying calmly, "The second layer of the world, one million for the second time!"
The scene remained quiet... even eerily quiet.
Hathaway narrowed her eyes slightly, raising the auction gavel even higher. "If there are no higher bidders, then the second layer of the world will be acquired by the VIP in VIP Box No. 3 at the lowest price!"
The mallet fell slowly.
……
Damn it?
No... did they really get the second floor for a million?
It seemed like everyone was only just realizing what had happened... while everyone else was watching, the big shot had already made a lightning-fast move, snatching up a world at the lowest price?
One million directly yields a full one-eighty-first of the fourth node's beacon of the [Primordial]... I wonder how many times the return that is?
How could anyone tolerate this?!
"I'll offer 1.1 million!!!"
A sound suddenly rang out from a corner on the first floor, like a thunderclap, and exploded directly!
Hathaway smiled slightly and tapped the gavel lightly as it fell. "Customer number 189 has bid 1.1 million! 1.1 million for the first time!"
A young man's voice rang out calmly from VIP box number 3 upstairs: "One million two hundred thousand."
Immediately, another buyer on the first floor made an offer: "One million three hundred thousand!"
It's starting to get lively!
Hathaway remained elegant and composed—she had confirmed that the person in VIP box number three was definitely someone the boss had invited to "warm up" the atmosphere!
The second layer of the world has not yet been filmed.
And prices have skyrocketed.
Three million eight hundred thousand.
Five million nine hundred thousand.
Seven million six hundred thousand.
Thirteen million...
Sixteen million six hundred thousand...
Two thousand...
Prices are still soaring...
Meanwhile, the first bidder in the second-level world, the VIP in VIP box number 3... was leisurely opening a bottle of wine with a strong fruity aroma that had been brought by a maid.
The maid originally intended to serve him throughout the entire process, but was refused.
Pan Dagong felt that he had hands and feet... and didn't need anyone to serve him. He preferred to drink quietly by himself, watching the people outside enthusiastically bidding—it was quite interesting.
—The fourth node signpost and such...aren't these places places you can go anywhere with your feet?
……
……
While the third round of an auction at a certain hotel was in full swing, in the vast emptiness... within the magnificent Buddhist temple of [Void Spirit Mountain].
Beside the enormous golden statue were several other equally enormous golden statues... seemingly discussing something.
"It's actually a remnant of the Old Gods..."
“There are even signposts for the fourth node…”
"Perhaps, Lingshan should also participate."
"What's the use of saying all this now? Without the shop's guidance, we simply can't find the true location of the [Kasyapa] world!"
"Luckily, some of my agents were in the venue... No matter what, we have to secure a certain number of floors!"
"Yes, the Buddhist and Taoist powers in the [Kasyapa] world, although they manifest in different ways... are clearly of the same origin as us, and they should be destined to be connected with us."
Just then, a golden, dazzling lotus flower suddenly appeared in the magnificent Buddhist temple... An old monk, sitting cross-legged in the golden lotus, slowly flew up to a height level with the eyes of the several huge golden statues.
"Oh... Randeng, you've finally returned." The largest golden statue said without sorrow or joy, "You've had a hard journey."
"It's nothing... it's just that we encountered some unexpected events on the way back." The old monk on the golden lotus sighed and said, "We were ambushed by a throne of the [Transcendent One] on the way, and it took a lot of effort to leave."
"what?!"
"【The Transcendent One】!!"
"It's those troublemakers again..."
