Li Tianxing looked at Yin Tianzong and coldly said, “I haven’t seen you for so many years. You’re still a good-for-nothing. Hanging out with the prodigal Hong Dali, it’s a disgrace to Galaxy Aristocrats.”
“What’s wrong with my brother Dali.” Yin Tianzong huffed. “I’m willing to and I’m happy when we’re together. Can’t I do that?”
“That’s why I say you’re a good-for-nothing.” Li Tianxing could not even be bothered to look at him. “You have no motivation to improve. To be honest, I cannot be bothered to talk to you. Disgrace.”
“A person whose every cell is as perfect as mine cannot be bothered to entertain you!” Yin Tianzong pouted disdainfully. “It’s just a Soul Stone, what’s the big deal? I couldn’t care less!”
“You’re the one who is incapable.” Li Tianxing humphed and stopped talking.
At this moment, the auction was about to start. The crowd became silent. Next was to see what good things were available.
The people that came were all very powerful. Just Galaxy Aristocrats came from all walks of life. There were more than ten Galaxy Aristocrats present. Needless to say, when the rumored top-grade attribute gems appeared, there was sure to be a strong contest.
The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, implying that the auction was about to begin.
The murmuring and discussions in the hall immediately quietened down. And soon, the stage suddenly brightened up, and the auction began.
The auctioneer who walked up the platform was a green-skinned Goblin of about 1.2 to 1.3 meters tall.
Goblins were a very peculiar race.
They were a race that was sensitive numbers. The biggest characteristic of a Goblin was that they were able to become very qualified auctioneers without any coaching—it was definitely a wise choice to get a Goblin as an auctioneer.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” The Goblin stood in the middle of the platform and looked around the hall with his pea-like eyes. He elegantly adjusted his black bowtie and smiled. “I’m the auctioneer for this auction, Riga Vickers.Goldcoin. Time is money, my friends—I won’t keep you waiting any longer. Let’s begin the auction with our first item!”
Seeing that the auction was about to begin, Tang Muxin whispered to Hong Dali, “Dali, how do you intend to play this time?”
“It’s easy,” Hong Dali replied, perplexed. “Bid for whatever you have your eye on. Need you to ask?”
Tang Muxin thought for a while and asked, “En, should it be low-profile or high-profile?” This was an important question—it directly affected the number of things they would buy…
“If you don’t like it, then be low-profile.” Hong Dali chuckled. “If you like it, be high-profile!”
Alright, that equated to not saying anything…
On the platform, Goblin Riga Vickers.Goldcoin looked down briefly and clapped his hands. Then, a waiter brought out the first item.
Auctions in the Galaxy Alliance Center were very different from auctions on Earth.
The items on auction were mainly strange treasures found by the mercenaries who often went to the universe to explore various planets or equipment that could enhance the warriors’ strength.
The first item on auction, was a flaming red little grass.
The grass was about a foot high and had four small, round fruits. The auctioneer Riga Vickers.Goldcoin said, “This is a magical plant, Red Rock Grass! Its fruit can permanently increase the Agility of a warrior by one. And we can see there are four fruits on this grass. Dear friends, everyone should know that a typical Red Rock Grass can only produce two fruits at most. And this one actually has four! Such a perfect Red Rock Grass is very rare. The starting price is 80,000 Galaxy Dollars. Everyone may begin to bid!”
Red Rock Grass only bore one fruit every four years. It could permanently increase the Agility of a warrior by one. The market price of such an item was about 20,000 Galaxy Dollars. Although it was uncommon, it was still available for sale. Hence, when the auctioneer Riga Vickers.Goldcoin called for a starting price of 80,000 Galaxy Dollars, although the price was not too expensive nor very cheap, the final price could possibly differ very much from it.
The people below the stage started bidding.
“Eighty-five thousand!”
“Ninety thousand.”
“Ninety-five thousand.”
At this moment, Tang Muxin asked Hong Dali secretly, “Dali, do you want to buy this?”
“En.” Hong Dali touched his chin. “Let’s buy it and have some fun. Anyway, it’s not bad to have something that permanently increases attributes.” Hence, he decisively raised his paddle. “Five hundred thousand.”

“Five hundred thousand!” Riga Vickers.Goldcoin stared with his eyes wide open and shouted. “This noble mister is offering five hundred thousand! Anyone wishes to offer a higher price?!”
Everyone shook their heads. Tianyi reminded Hong Dali. “Big Bro Dali, this looks like quite a good thing. One fruit increased one attribute point. But it only takes effect when you take it for the first time. Hence, the price of this has always been quite low. There’s no need to offer such a high price.”
“So-so.” Hong Dali sniffled. “I find it quite pretty…”
“P… pretty!” Tianyi was stunned.
The other Honorary Aristocrats were stunned as well!
This Red Rock Grass, its original price was only about one hundred and fifty thousand. The reason why the price was so high was that it had four fruits. Rare things were dear. But this prodigal…
Hong Dali added, “Plant it outside the house when we get it. It looks quite good as a potted plant.”
Offering five hundred thousand at once, just to plant it outside the house?! This universe was too big, there were all kinds of people…
One person said, “There must be something wrong with this Hong Dali. Even if he’s not short of money, five hundred thousand for this?” Another person said, “I’ve really widened my perspective of the world. Comparisons are odious.” The third person said with envy and jealousy, “How did he manage to become an Honorary Aristocrat…”
Of course, Hong Dali did not care how others criticized him.
After he bought the Red Rock Grass, Hong Dali could not be bothered to see what was up for auction next.
He was not short of equipment nor attribute gems. And there was nothing that caught his attention. At that moment, he suddenly thought of the Honorary Aristocrats who ran over to sell him all sorts of businesses. He asked Ling Xiaoyi softly, “Oh right, Xiaoyi. What did we buy yesterday?”
This was a proper business. Ling Xiaoyi quickly reported. “One spacecraft factory for 6.7 million Galaxy Dollars. Its actual value is about 7 million. Three hotels for a total of 5.4 million. One Dojo for 3.5 million. Some houses for a total of 9.6 million…”
Ling Xiaoyi introduced about ten different industries at once.
The highest price was about ten million, the lowest about three to four million. Although the prices were not too high, there were many.
Although they spoke softly, the people around them could more or less hear their conversation. They looked at each other and laughed at the same time—Hong Dali had bought all their losing businesses. Although it was in installments, he was a string-puller, after all. If he could not afford to pay in the future, there was still Galaxy Aristocrats backing him up. Their intentions were just to get rid of those tumor-like businesses so their performance wouldn’t be affected during the advancement assessment.
Hong Dali was slightly taken aback. He was shocked by his gains. “Aye?! I only bought a few shops for fun, but I actually got so many good things?! I was just worried about where to begin. But they all send their businesses right to my doorstep?!”
That was a surprise, indeed.
Hong Dali intention was to squander and have some fun. But he did not expect the Honorary Aristocrats to take the bait so quickly!
After all, he had just arrived. It was not easy to have so many contacts. He didn’t know where to begin for a lot of things. In other words, he had money but nowhere to spend. He was not familiar with many people and it was not easy to do business.
Who would have thought that he got the opportunity through those shops he bought for squandering? With these businesses, apart from completing the missions given by the System, he could take a look at which of those businesses would be useful when he had time!
Hong Dali grinned as he thought. “En, I’ll play around with the more useful businesses and cast aside the useless ones—these Honorary Aristocrats were quite smart to send themselves to my doorstep. Haha!”
That was really a huge yield. With these, there was fun to be had. Haha!
Hong Dali was very satisfied with the current progress. Those Honorary Aristocrats were all elated—how could they not be? They got rid of all their losing businesses. At the next advancement assessment, that would earn them a few hundred points.
Hong Dali was happy as well, these fools sent their businesses to him on their own…
Who had the upper hand? It was too early to tell…
Tang Muxin laughed so hard her stomach hurt. These elites were played by the prodigal Hong Dali. They were still laughing there not knowing what they had lost. It was too funny…
On the other side, where the Galaxy Aristocrats were, everyone looked at Yin Tianzong and laughed as they slapped their thighs. “Hahaha, Tianzong. This prodigal that you have your eyes on. Hahaha! Good vision, very good vision!”
Li Tianxing couldn’t help it, either. “This Hong Dali is really too prodigal. The Red Rock Grass is worth at most one hundred and fifty thousand. He actually bought it for five hundred thousand. Aye, am I overacting with such a fool as an opponent?”
Jiang Qianxue lowered her head. “I didn’t see anything…”
Soon, the first few items were sold. The auctioneer Riga Vickers.Goldcoin began to introduce the next item. “Everyone, I’m sure everyone will be very interested in the next auction item! This is a treasure that our auction center received in the first two days! This treasure is a very beautiful habitable planet!”
