Chapter 244 Abyss Source Monopoly
Soon, the Tier 7 Abyss source was delivered to his room by the earlier manager.
"Here is your Tier 7 Abyss source, my lord."
Maximus also happily paid for it as he eagerly looked at the next normal-quality Tier 7 Abyss source being auctioned.
Just like the last time, the VIPs from rooms No. 11-100 eagerly bid.
"5.3 Trillion."
"7.7 Trillion."
"9.2 Trillion."
"10.7 Trillion."
Waiting for the right time, when there was a hint of hesitation in the bidders, Maximus quoted his price.
"13.4 Trillion!"
Soon, there was another silence as the auctioneer looked to see if there were other bidders.
"Are there any other bidders?"
Unfortunately, Maximus was like a ghost, consistently hitting their sweet spot.
They could only wait and see if VIP No. 3 was wealthier or if there were more Abyss sources.
"Going Once!"
"Going Twice!"
"Sold to Supreme VIP No. 3!"
And just like that, another Tier 7 Abyss source.
For the next bidding of the normal-quality tier 7 Abyss source, the bidding was more intense.
However, Maximus was still like a predator waiting for his prey, and he bought the third Tier 7 Abyss source for over 14 trillion.
Likewise, the fourth tier 7 Abyss source cost him 16 trillion.
Now, for the Fifth Abyss Source, even the Supreme VIPs were willing to move.
They couldn't let a single individual monopolize all the Abyss sources.
There was also a lot of chatter in the crowd below as they held their hearts for the increasing prices.
As for the auctioneer, Olivia, she was like a blooming flower under the storm.
If not for being presumptuous, she would yell, "Let the storm come harder!"
For the fifth Abyss source, Maximus spent almost double the value of the Tier 7 Abyss source, which is 19 trillion.
As for the sixth, even Maximus sweated as his mind overclocked with all the possibilities.
Under his undeterred efforts, he finally bought the sixth Abyss Source for 23 million.
Now, there were only a few hundred billion crystals merits in his pocket.
Beside him, Skye looked like a distressed little wife worrying about her prodigal husband.
"Is that enough? Can you not buy more?" Skye pleaded.
Although it was not her money, she was still distressed.
With how things were going, the seventh Abyss source might be priced over 30 trillion!
Such a price is enough to buy three tier 7 Abyss Source.
"Don't worry, I no longer have any money." Maximus sighed.
He would also like to buy more; unfortunately, that's all that he can.
Soon, the seventh Tier 7 Abyss source was presented.
As Skye predicted, it was sold for about 30 trillion.
Although Maximus didn't flame the fire, the stage was already heated.
For those top VIPs, this is their only chance of easily getting a Tier 7 Abyss source.
...
Meanwhile, the one who got the Tier 7 Abyss source, VIP No. 23, was smoking with anger.
"Damn that man who raised the price!"
"Is he insane?!"
"Now I can barely buy an abyss source with my budget!"
VIP No. 23 nearly cried at such injustice.
He would probably call it quits if he had another channel to buy these Tier 7 Abyss sources.
Unfortunately, besides top guilds, organizations, and powerful individuals, who can get abyss source if needed.
He was only an average rich second-generation individual who only had money and nothing else.
This Abyss source will at least make him talented enough to be worthy of his wealth.
The other three VIPs purchased the eighth, ninth, and tenth tier 7 Abyss sources of normal quality.
Didn't know whether to celebrate or cry that they still managed to buy a Tier 7 Abyss source.
Having spent over three times the amount for the abyss source, their heart couldn't help but tighten in distress.
As for the Supreme VIPs, they decided to stop bidding altogether after seeing Maximus stop.
They joined the fray earlier because they didn't want Supreme VIP No. 3 to monopolize such a rare resource.
...
"Now, for our second segment, we present elite-quality tier 7 Abyss source!" Olivia smiled joyfully.
The fierce bidding earlier had her yearning, hoping it would be the same as last time.
This time, Olivia couldn't help but look at the person in Supreme VIP Room No. 3.
If it were not for this gentleman.
The auction of normal-quality Tier 7 Abyss source would not have been so successful.
Unfortunately, there was a dense anti-detection array and rune in place.
She didn't even know if the person in Supreme VIP Room No. 3 was a man or a woman.
"For our first bidding price, it is 10 trillion!" Olivia quoted.
...
Supreme VIP Room No. 3:
Looking at the elite-quality tier 7 Abyss source, Maximus couldn't help but feel greedy.
"You don't have to look intensely; you can afford it anyway!" Skye jeered, mocking him for being a spendthrift.
"I just ran out of money, not poor," Maximus rolled his eyes.
"Furthermore, I'm richer than you; I still have several hundred billion," Maximus mocked.
"Oh~" Skye became sad all of a sudden.
'What a hateful rich bastard!"
...
Soon, the intense bidding began.
Now, people in VIP rooms No. 11-100 barely bid.
This is an elite Abyss source; not only was it ten times more expensive, but it was also ten times more effective.
Although it can't compare with a Tier 8 Abyss source, it was a scarce resource.
It can upgrade your potential from rank 0 trash to rank 8 supreme talent.
Given enough, you can even awaken your special physique in advance.
That's why even those in the Supreme VIP room bid fiercely.
Soon, the price reached an overwhelming 150 trillion.
Such a large amount already silenced the crowd below as they held their breath.
Such an insane amount increased second by second, like their pounding hearts.
Soon, after the price reached 230 trillion, there was silence.
"Are there any other bidders?"
"Going Once!"
"Going twice!"
"Sold To Supreme VIP No. 1!" Olivia happily said.
Usually, an elite-quality Abyss source can be sold in the auction for 150-180 trillion.
Although the final price was not as crazy as the normal-quality tier 7 Abyss source earlier, it's enough.
"Next, the second elite-quality tier 7 Abyss source!"
"Let the bidding begin!"
Soon, another intense bidding began.
However, it seemed like the apex sovereigns in the auction hall had already booked the elite-quality tier 7 Abyss source as they bought it effortlessly.
The second elite-quality tier 7 Abyss source was bought by Supreme VIP No. 2 for 240 trillion.
The third elite-quality tier 7 Abyss source was bought by Supreme VIP No. 7 for 250 trillion.
As for Lysarian Silverleaf from VIP room No. 9, he didn't have enough money for that.
Maximus heard he was setting up his private outpost and had no money to spare.
If it were not for the importance of the abyss navigator compass, he wouldn't even have come to this auction.
After the auction of three elite-quality Abyss sources, Maximus waited to see if there was more.
Unfortunately, to his disappointment, there is none.
As for the Tier 8 Abyss source or a higher quality Abyss source, there is also nothing.
It seems that he was not lucky this time.
...
"Thank you for your participation this time,"
"All the guests are welcome to attend our banquet."
"That's all; have a good night!"
After the end of the auction.
Maximus didn't bother attending the banquet and hurriedly exited the building.
Coming to multiple valleys, streets, and various blind spots.
Maximus and Skye disguised themselves over a hundred times.
They can't be too careful.
After all, Maximus was relatively high-profile this time, almost monopolizing the abyss source.
He was sure he was deeply hated by those four people who bought the normal-quality abyss source.
Indeed, as Maximus predicted, the four people already have their men scouring the Purgatory City for such a hateful man.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed.
The anti-detection array in the auction hall is not a joke.
Plus, with Maximus's carefulness, they didn't even find a hair of a clue.
...
Soon, a week had passed.
During these days,
Maximus roamed around Purgatory City in various disguises and sold abyss resources he bought from the Myriad World Mall.
Ensuring his safety and preventing large fluctuations in the market.
Maximus could earn tens of trillions every day.
As for the auction every night in the Etherium Abyss Council.
It was lackluster, without much substance.
The VIP rooms were not even half full.
As for the abyss source.
In a week, he only bought another three normal-quality tier 7 abyss sources.
As for Tier 6 abyss sources, he bought another hundred of them from various shops.
All in all, his harvest in the Annual Exchange Event was huge.
His 6 billion system point harvest per day became 7 billion!
This is just his first Annual Exchange Event.
Next year, after he has more money, he may even compete with the elite-quality abyss source.
By then, his system point generation should skyrocket.
...
Soon, most people in the Purgatory City returned to the teleportation array.
It was time to return to their outposts and contribute to the Etherium Realm.
The rest is over, and they need to head to battle.
Taking one last look at the city, Maximus sighed.
'See you again next year...'
