"The first competing item in this auction is a prop red ribbon with a star grade and a winding function. The starting price is 4,000 gold coins, and the price will be increased by 500 gold coins each time. Start bidding!"

The scene was silent for a moment. After all, when this prop first appeared, it was said to be a star-rated prop, and everyone was looking forward to it. However, it only had a simple winding function, which was really useless. Everyone hesitated and stopped.

"4000." Someone entered the starting price to participate in the bidding. Bai Xing saw that it was a person sitting in the center seat. After pressing the number, the corresponding number popped up above the person's seat, indicating that he was participating in the bidding.

The auctioneer smiled and said, "One customer has already paid 4,000 gold coins. Is there anyone else willing to continue bidding?"

"4000 once."

"4000 twice."

"4000 three times! Congratulations to this guest, the red ribbon prop is yours."

The red ribbon prop disappeared from the table, and the next lot appeared, a mirror that looked full of rust.

"The second item is an ancient deep-sea mirror. It is a star-grade prop and has space and hallucinogenic abilities. The starting price is 10,000 gold coins, and the price will be increased by 1,000 gold coins each time. The bidding starts now." As she finished her words, the next step was Within seconds, someone pressed the starting price.

"10,000."

"11,000." Not to be outdone, someone immediately increased the price.

Space props are still very rare, not to mention that this prop also has control capabilities.

Bai Xing tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, but ultimately did not participate in the bidding. Hallucinogenic props were not that useful to her. Her skills were special. There was a high probability that this kind of prop would not be able to hallucinate multiple people at the same time. If The price of a prop that can cause hallucinations in a wide range is probably not very high for her.

"17,000."

"21,000."

"23,000."

After the price was increased to 23,000, the number of people following the price gradually decreased. After all, for a prop whose actual effect cannot be confirmed, no matter how high it is, it may be a loss, and most people are not able to pay so many gold coins.

"23,000 gold coins once."

"23,000 gold coins twice."

"23,000 gold coins three times! Congratulations to this guest, the ancient deep sea mirror prop is yours."

"The next auction item is a third-level upgrade material - mutated flamingo feather, a treasure that owners of fire skills cannot miss. The starting price is 5,000 gold coins, and the price will be increased by 500 gold coins each time. Let's start bidding!" The scene suddenly became heated again. It seems that there are quite a few owners of attribute skills.

Bai Xing lowered her eyes uninterested and looked through the auction book. Most of them were props or upgrade materials like mutated flamingo feathers.

After flipping through it, a necklace caught her attention. It was a very simple-looking silver necklace with a small hourglass-shaped pendant, and one side of the hourglass was inlaid with blue gems.

For some reason, Bai Xing felt that this necklace should be very helpful to her. She looked at the description of the item: it speeds up the energy recovery rate of the skill user.

She nodded in understanding. The blue auxiliary props were really suitable for her.

The bidding for this hourglass necklace soon came. As the auctioneer announced the start of the bidding, Bai Xing immediately joined the bidding.

"2500." Someone bid the lowest price before her.

"3000." Bai Xing tapped his fingertips and immediately followed the price.

"3500."

"4000."

The other party hesitated for a moment and finally gave up bidding on this necklace. After all, it was just a star-rated ordinary auxiliary prop. Judging from the quality, it was still a star-rated inferior prop. The other party's desire to bid was not that strong, not to mention that there were many dazzling auction items behind it. He simply withdrew from the auction.

Bai Xing successfully took a photo of the necklace. She looked at the brochure and confirmed that there was nothing behind it that she wanted. Then she left the box and went to the transaction office to pay. On the way, she met another person who left the venue early like her. , the other party saw her, nodded politely as a greeting, and then walked to the service desk.

"Hello, Guest No. 761, are you here to pay for Lot No. 1?"

"Yes." The moment he spoke, Bai Xing looked slightly sideways, and it turned out to be the voice of a little girl who sounded a little immature. The voice sounded very clear and sweet.

"Okay, please come with me." The waiter took her to a small private room at the back to conduct the transaction.

Bai Xing heard the waiter's words and realized that this was the person who took the first lot - the red ribbon. She bent her eyes. The red ribbon matched the cute little girl quite well.

She also walked to the service desk and followed the waiter's lead into the trading room.

After paying the fee, she got the lot she had taken. When she got it, she discovered that the necklace was unexpectedly quite substantial. The blue gemstone was as clear and translucent as a puddle of sea water. The necklace itself was made up of countless pieces. It was a chain made of silver silk of unknown material. When Bai Xing held the necklace, she could clearly feel the rhythm of the energy in the necklace and the surrounding space. She felt happy, put away the necklace and left the auction house.

Opening her eyes again, she was back in the soft quilt. She put on the necklace and fastened the lock of the necklace. The next second, the lock automatically disappeared and the chain formed a complete closed loop. Bai Xing felt the connection with the necklace. , some vague thoughts appeared in her mind.

After wearing it, the necklace will not break due to external force, and others cannot rob it by force. The necklace will be unlocked again after the owner dies.

Bai Xing was very satisfied. She clearly felt that after wearing the necklace, her energy affinity with the surrounding environment increased significantly. If she had had this necklace in the Double Eagle Nest at that time, the recovery efficiency would have been much higher.

The train was traveling at high speed. Bai Xing noticed that the track extending out in front seemed to appear from the void, full of unreality. The train was running on it, and there seemed to be a kind of reasonableness in the unreasonableness.

She glanced at the time and saw that it was already 4:57 pm. The sun's light had become a little faint, seeming to have announced the arrival of night.

Countless tall buildings either collapsed or were submerged by heavy snow. When she saw the train passing through the territory of some monsters, the monsters looked at it greedily and in awe.

Suddenly, she realized a problem.

After the first newcomer copy started, the animals and plants of Blue Star officially began to mutate. It was like countless energy was injected into the planet, prompting them to mutate and grow rapidly. At that time, most of them were first- and second-order mutated animals. Plants of the third and fourth levels are very rare, and when she left the train this time, she found that many of the mutated animals and plants occupying a territory had already reached the fifth and sixth levels.

And in between, there was only a short period of seven days.

Bai Xing frowned. If so, to what extent will these monsters grow until the next hunting event? Will people really be able to deal with them by then?
