Chapter 328 Disaster Star
"100,000 spirit coins!"
"200,000 spirit coins!"
"250,000 spirit coins!"
The auction house was filled with people, each shouting louder than the other.
At the VIP table, Chen Qi looked at the "confrontation" below with boredom.
There are so many rich people in this world that they are willing to spend a lot of money to buy junk.
…
"Junior, I heard that you are collecting high-quality ten thousand fossils?"
"Senior, I happen to have a piece here, so I'll give it to you!"
Perhaps because he made a fortune today, Feng Zining was in a particularly good mood.
Then Chen Qi finally experienced what it was like to be friends with a rich man.
Oh, no, Senior Sister Feng can definitely be considered Bai Fumei.
A piece of ten thousand stone exuding a little starlight fell into Chen Qi's hands.
Before Chen Qi had time to study it carefully, Xiaobai pounced on the food and swallowed it in one gulp.
Feng Zining naturally saw such a "blatant" action clearly.
She looked at Xiaobai a few more times with interest, obviously seeing through Xiaobai's true nature.
…
"Junior is really lucky!"
"The source ore in your hand is really a blessing!"
"I remember that my junior also raised a kestrel. He is indeed a caring person!"
Chen Qi was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly praised by Senior Sister Feng for being caring.
But when I think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with him. He is indeed quite caring.
Think back to Xiaohong's skinny appearance and Xiaobai's half-dead state.
I am so caring!
…
"Senior, what do you want from me?"
Although Feng Zining showed great love and even gave her a sweet date.
But Chen Qi didn't think that the senior sister was chatting with him because she was bored.
How could Feng Zining be so simple when he was able to break through the seal alone on Shengxian Island and escape completely?
Chen Qi is the most honest person. He thinks it is better to speak directly.
…
"Junior, you have seen Elonis before, right?"
"What do you think of this guy?"
When the conversation changed, Feng Zining suddenly mentioned a guy that Chen Qi had almost forgotten.
Although I don’t know why Senior Feng mentioned that guy, Chen Qi always tells the truth.
"Senior, to be honest, I have no impression of that one!"
"His [Wuxiang Reincarnation] talent is too evil, and I don't want to cause trouble for myself."
Chen Qi has been busy studying the spiritual veins in his body these days, so he has no time to pay attention to a guy who can't beat him.
But since Senior Sister Feng suddenly mentioned him, is that person really on board the Yunshan?
…
"Junior is indeed a smart man!"
"Speaking of which, this trouble was caused by my greed."
"I was stuck at the silver threshold and was unable to advance."
"Of course, it will only be a matter of time before I advance to Silver Apostle with my talent."
“But some things happen so urgently that it’s inevitable that people can’t help themselves.”
When he said "I can't help myself", a coldness flashed in Feng Zining's eyes.
The pressure she was under at that time was staggering.
…
“When people are impatient, they are prone to making mistakes.”
"When I discovered those three little girls, even though I knew their identities were very questionable, I still planned to take them back to the academy and sell them for a good price."
"And all I want is to avoid the [battle over school rules]."
"In order to compete for the seat of the true disciple, I promised to help [Feixing Club] participate in the next competition for school regulations."
"But after I really knew the inside story, I realized how troublesome and cruel it was."
"At that time, I had no confidence that I would survive."
According to Feng Zining's account, there are two systems that maintain the normal operation of the Tianwu Conjuration Academy.
One is the rules and regulations made by people, and the other is [school rules].
And when there is a conflict between the two, [school rules] decide everything.
…
In Tianwu Conjuration Academy, there are various clubs, large and small.
Of course, these associations can also be regarded as a mountain of interests.
One of the important factors why these clubs can exist for a long time is that they have mastered some kind of [school rules].
[Flying Star Club] ranks ninth among the many clubs in the college, and has mastered two [school rules].
And now they want to go one step further, so they have placed heavy bets on the next [School Regulations Battle].
The five true seeds they supported all signed contracts and all had to participate in the battle for school regulations.
Even if Feng Zining was promoted to Silver Apostle, he still could not avoid this fate.
Unless she can find a more suitable person to replace her, or provide a bargaining chip that can convince [Flying Star Club].
And the three little girls with the talent of [Wuxiang Reincarnation] are the bargaining chips Feng Zining prepared for herself.
…
But fate plays tricks on people, and Shengxian Island is both a disaster and an opportunity.
Feng Zining can now not only be promoted to Silver Apostle immediately, but also has greater promotion potential.
This will give you the qualifications to negotiate with [Feixing Society].
If it were just that, it would not be so easy for Feng Zining to escape if it was related to the [battle for school regulations].
But Elonis happened to show up. The first time Lu Shuxuan saw him, he decided that he was someone who could master the school rules.
So Feng Zining was finally relieved. Elonis had been specially recruited into the school, and would even become the sixth true seed in the club under the arrangement of the [Flying Star Club].
And with the energy of [Feixing Club], six true seeds are already the limit of what they can do.
…
"So the senior sister wants to tell me that even if I join the [Flying Star Club], they will not be able to support me in running for the true seed."
"Tsk, tsk, I thought I, the Imperial Viscount, was very popular!"
Chen Qi thought Feng Zining had something important to do with him, but he didn't expect it to be this.
He is indeed interested in becoming the true seed, but that doesn't mean that Chen Qi likes to work hard for others.
He is a majestic viscount of the empire, and he still has a huge territory to inherit. How can he be stupid enough to fight for others' life and death?
…
"Junior is indeed a very good person. I am quite optimistic about you, junior."
"I believe that with my status and talent as a junior, I won't have to worry about other clubs trying to win over me."
"If I want to get the true inheritance of Tianwu Cursing Academy, I must fight for this true inheritance seat."
"But remember not to participate in the [battle for school rules]!"
Chen Qi's indifference made Feng Zining appreciate it very much. This is the most important quality in practicing the new method.
Compared to the uncontrollable Elonis, Feng Zining is really more optimistic about Chen Qi.
However, Feixing Club only wants to obtain Article 3 [School Rules].
The interests involved are much greater than those of Chen Qi, an imperial viscount.
After all, the top ten super spell academies are also quite influential in the outer world.
There is also a lot of land.
…
"Thank you, senior, for letting me know everything in advance!"
"Although I am destined not to join the Flying Star Club, my senior will always be my most trustworthy friend."
Chen Qi's words definitely came from his heart, even though he had said this to several people.
Feng Zining was able to reveal these inside stories in advance, and Chen Qi must be grateful.
Otherwise, if you don't pay attention for a moment, you will be deceived by Feixing Society.
Chen Qi originally planned to ask what the [school rules] were.
Unfortunately, Feng Zining seemed to be quite afraid of this question and did not give Chen Qi a direct answer.
He just said that you will know after staying in the academy for a long time.
In this case, Chen Qi could only suppress his curiosity for the time being.
…
"Everyone, this next auction item is our highlight."
"This thing is extraordinary. According to our appraisal, it is an extraterrestrial thing, coming from outside the inner world."
"As for the specific origin of this thing, it is not suitable to be preached in public."
"Anyway, I understand everything!"
"The next step is to carry out the final display. Those who are interested in competing for this treasure should be prepared."
The auction has come to an end and has also entered the most intense stage of competition.
Chen Qi and Feng Zining, who had been chatting at the VIP table, also focused their attention.
…
On the auction stage, the curtain was lifted, and the final item was exposed in front of everyone.
It was a dark meteorite, more than three meters high.
What is quite strange is that there is a human-shaped pit on the meteorite.
It was as if some humanoid creature broke open the meteorite and came out of it.
Chen Qi was extremely certain that although the meteorite was extremely special, it did not contain any psychic fluctuations at all.
Can this thing also be used as the finale?
…
"I bid 4 million spiritual coins!"
"I bid 7 million spiritual coins!"
"I bid 8 million spiritual coins!"
When the bidding started, its popularity almost made Chen Qi stunned.
His sack of Shengxian Island's specialties only sold for 100,000 spirit coins.
How could this inconspicuous meteorite in front of me be so popular?
Looking at this posture, it is impossible to buy it without 10 million spirit coins.
…
"Junior, do you feel strange?"
"To be honest, this meteorite is indeed a bit special, but it is only worth 1 million spiritual coins at most."
"The real value is the information contained in the meteorite. This thing is priceless."
Feng Zining was not surprised at all by the situation in front of her. After all, the conflict just broke out over the fight for the meteorite.
If it weren't for maintaining the stability and harmony of the other world, which was the unshirkable responsibility of the top ten super spell academies, she wouldn't bother to meddle in other matters.
…
"Senior, is this meteorite a disaster?"
"What is the disaster star?"
Chen Qi thought of the message sent to him by Senior Sister Caroline, "Disaster, Slaughter, Auction", which perfectly matched the scene in front of him.
Facing Chen Qi's question, Feng Zining thought about it for a while and finally spoke.
…
"All information about the disaster star has always been strictly restricted and blocked."
"But since my junior wants to know, I'll tell you."
"Junior, do you know how a medium-power country can be promoted to a great power?"
As Feng Zining spoke, the biggest secret in the inner ring world was revealed in front of Chen Qi.
…
If a medium-power country wants to be promoted to a great power, in addition to meeting the basic conditions of population and technology, it must also pass the "Great Power Trial."
What is quite interesting is that the promotion of medium powers to great powers is not done one by one, but in batches.
In the inner ring world, generally every 300 years, a group of medium powers will be promoted to great powers.
As for the quantity, it varies.
Sometimes three or five, sometimes a dozen, sometimes even just one.
The beginning of the great power trial is marked by the birth of the first great power in three hundred years.
For example, now that the Dark Star Kingdom has been promoted to the Dark Star Empire for the first time, the Great Power Trial has begun.
…
If a medium-sized power wants to be promoted to a great power, the most important thing is to gather [national destiny].
Only with national destiny can it resist all kinds of strange and complex situations in the outer ring world.
Only then can it protect its own people and reproduce in the outer ring world.
Feng Zining did not say much about how to gather national destiny.
But every time a medium-sized power begins to gather national destiny, a "disaster star" will fall from the sky and bring disaster.
And this disaster is the great power trial.
If a medium-sized power can survive, it will gather national destiny in one fell swoop and successfully advance to the great power sequence.
If the promotion fails, the country will inevitably fall apart.
It can be said that the promotion of a great power every 300 years is a major reshuffle of the inner ring world.
As long as the great power trial is opened, the top 30 medium-sized powers will be affected, regardless of whether they launch an impact on the great power sequence.
...
As for what the disaster star is?
Generally speaking, there are two types.
One is that some inheritance or treasures from the sky descend, and some lucky people in the inner ring world will turn into disaster stars after obtaining them.
But more often, aliens fell into the inner ring world and began to stir up trouble.
The meteorite on the auction table was obviously a smuggling tool for an alien.
If it was sold to a medium-sized power that was committed to becoming a great power, it would definitely sell for a good price.
This is also because this item has just been discovered, so it appeared at the auction.
Otherwise, it would not have been on the market at all.
In fact, the forces participating in the bidding now have no intention of being middlemen.
They just intend to use this as a stepping stone to establish closer ties with those powerful medium-sized powers.
After all, those countries are expected to be promoted to the sequence of great powers. If the speculation succeeds, it is not as simple as making a profit.
…
"Senior sister, isn't the inner ring world tightly sealed by the world government?"
"The world government has even built a world wall. How could those aliens come in so easily?"
The disaster star actually involved the promotion of a medium-sized power to the sequence of great powers, which really exceeded Chen Qi's cognition.
The so-called national destiny, Chen Qi has never heard of it.
Could it be that everyone's luck is gathered together to become a supernatural power that can really interfere with the world?
There are so many secrets between these great powers.
…
In response to Chen Qi's question, Feng Zining spread her hands and said that she didn't know why those disaster stars could come in so easily.
How could an ordinary student like her know the inside story involved.
Feng Zining knew the existence of the disaster stars because she was the true seed of the Tianwu Spell Academy.
As for the deeper things in it, perhaps only if she is truly promoted to a silver apostle can she be qualified to contact it.
…
Since Senior Sister Feng didn't know, Chen Qi stopped worrying about it.
Anyway, whether it was the disaster star or the great power trial, it had nothing to do with him, the viscount of the empire.
However, Feng Zining seemed to see Chen Qi's thoughts and directly poured a basin of cold water on him.
"Junior, don't forget what our top ten super spell schools do."
"Maintaining the harmony and stability of the inner ring world is our unshirkable responsibility."
"If you are really elected as the true seed, you must shoulder the responsibility of maintaining peace in the inner ring world."
"So our generation is destined to work harder."
Chen Qi understood Feng Zining's words instantly.
As long as it happens in this inner ring world, the top ten super spell schools must take care of it.
Even if the parties are not happy, it doesn't matter.
It can be imagined that the inner ring world is destined to be in chaos for a long time.
The game involved in this is likely to network all forces.
...
"I offer 13 million spirit coins!"
"I offer 15 million spirit coins!"
The bidding in the venue is still going on, but fewer and fewer people are participating in the competition.
In the end, a mysterious force called [Blood God Palace] won the final victory.
They bought the meteorite for 17 million spirit coins.
"Strange, how come they are here?"
Compared to Chen Qi who was just watching the fun, Feng Zining frowned after the final auction result came out.
Seeing Feng Zining's strange behavior, Chen Qi couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Is there something wrong with the Blood God Palace?
Chen Qi searched his mind and finally found a little about the Blood God Palace from Albert's memory.
The Blood God Palace turned out to be the biggest behind-the-scenes funder of the Blood Mining Industry. Even the [Original Blood Consortium] among the three super consortiums of the Blood Mining Industry is the industry of the Blood God Palace.
No wonder they are so rich!
...
"Forget it!"
"No matter what their intentions and purposes are, they will be exposed sooner or later."
"We'll deal with them together when the time comes!"
Feng Zining cares a lot about the Blood God Palace. Obviously, she knows a lot about this power.
But her current state is really not suitable for any accidents, so she can only let them go for the time being.
Seeing Chen Qi staring at her in confusion, Feng Zi pointed to the group of people who collected the meteorites below and gave an explanation.
…
“Junior, don’t underestimate the Blood God Palace!”
“When you meet them on a mission in the future, be careful!”
“I, Senior, suffered a small loss at their hands.”
“But I will get back at them sooner or later!”
When talking about the small loss, Feng Zining's eyes flashed coldly.
Obviously, this loss must be big.
Hearing this, Chen Qi also showed anger, and firmly stood on the same front with his senior sister.
This Blood God Palace must be blacklisted.
…
The final item was auctioned, and the whole auction was completely over.
Chen Qi really had no interest in the Alchemy City. Even alchemy books were not sold here, and he had the nerve to brag about it.
It must be said that Wang Tianlang was very powerful. It took only one day to completely sell all of Chen Qi's resources.
Then, more than 1,000 Wan Fossils appeared in Chen Qi's space ring.
The quality of 300 of them was much better than those he bought before.
But it was still far from the one given by Senior Sister Feng.
And Xiaobai fell into a deep sleep after a period of eating.
…
Woo woo woo, three days later, the empty Haiyuan and Yunshan left the Alchemy City.
The journey continued without stopping, heading straight to the Tianwu Spell Academy.
Finally, one day two months later, Chen Qi and his team finally arrived at the Tianwu Spell Academy they had longed for.
It was an extremely vast plateau, standing like a pillar in the inner world.
