The Golden Chime Auction! In the magic society, the foundations of the global economic infrastructure was built on a single industry— Haunt Exploration! Nebula Stones. Death Qi. Exotic Herbs. Relic Cores. All of the above were the major raw resources that drove over ninety percent of the economy. And the one thing they all shared in common was a mutual origin— they could all be originally found embedded inside Haunt Gates. Every Territorial Defense Contract Array, consumer grade, industrial grade, automotive grade as well as military grade equipment, all functioned because of the matrix chips embedded inside them. However, without refined nebula stones slurries, it was hundred percent impossible to manufacture these matrix chips. While dangerous in its rawest form, death Qi was also vital to the economy, the same way excavated nebula stones were. Without it, manufacturing soul essence that were the lifeblood of matrix chips as well as Soul fragments that served as limi

"I apologize for the discourteous manner our staff might have treated you with." Professor Steinherd bowed in apology while equally leading Henri towards a private lounge. Although the auction event was to be held in the grand hall located at a lower floor, those who occupied private lounges were able to get a live feed of the auction event. By pushing specific buttons, they didn't even need to raise a paddle to verbally voice their desire to join a bidding war. Compared to those who were at the grand hall, the ones who occupied private lounges definitely had it easy. Since Professor Steinherd patiently explained the mechanics and perks the private lounges offered, Henri didn't have much questions once he arrived at his private lounge. Maintaining their disciplined silence, the two Devas from the Enforcement Vanguard Corp diligently took their place behind Henri , positioned at both sides of the entrance. "I hope you enjoy the auction event." the wide smile remained plastered

Similar to Silver and White Gates, Ash and Green Gates could only be found in Minor Danger Zones. For these Gates, the apex boss level creature never exceeded the Fiend King level of power. Compared to the Gates found within Minor Danger Zones, the ones found in Major Zones, were several times dangerous. Purple Gates, Blood Gates and Blue Gates. Unlike the low level Gates, the emergency of these Gates wasn't limited to just Major Danger Zones. Whenever they appeared as a Sovereign Singularity, the possibility of them developing into an Outbreak was more than fifty percent. Residing within these gates were apex boss level creatures ranging from the Fiend Emperor to Fiend Overlord level of power. Compared to the boss level creatures of low level Gates, the weakest Fiend Emperors had the ability to obliterate heavily fortified cities with nothing but a single breath. Without the fortification of defensive matrix arrays, a single Fiend Emperor was more than enough to obliterate seve

The Purple Heaven Dragon Pill. While this pill wasn't Elixir Inc's flagship product, it's price tag at a million dollars made it a valuable revenue driver. As the Chairman of The Future Vision & Dominion Division, Mr. Tolu couldn't just sit still and watch as a product from Jingle Wood Auction House make one of their high revenue drivers become obsolete. " I always found it strange why today's auction event wasn't curated as the previous ones.." while maintaining stern eye contact with Mei, Mr. Tolu muttered under his breath. ' This must be their real intentions.. to market this mana fruit. ' considering how Jingle Wood Auction House had so graciously "gifted" every attendee a mana fruit, Mr. Tolu was certain they had more in stock. That meant.. they planned to sell the mana fruits on the open market once the auction event was over! Upon arriving at this realization, Mr. Tolu clenched his fist. 'The Kasugano Family surely are trying to bite off more than they can chew! ' Si

Once the auction attendees realized the value of the mana fruits they were holding, all of their skeptism vanished within a trace. Mr. Tolu was no exception either. No matter how much he really hated it, he had no choice but to admit the authenticity of the mana fruits. Including the fruit's superiority in comparison to the million dollar worth Purple Heaven Dragon Pill. Grasping this prime opportunity, Mei continued from where she left off. "Just like you all must be guessing right now, today's auction event also serves as a launching ceremony to announce the debut of Jingle Wood Corp ace product.. the mana fruits." "Following the end of today's event, the mana fruit will be available for direct purchases in a week time." Mei took a pause in a bid to catch her breath. "With that settled, let's begin the auction proper." She proceeded to clap her hands twice. A few seconds later, two staffs took to the stage, bringing along with them an unknown object whose appearance was
