Chapter 3396 Purchasing
late at night.
The auction house remained brightly lit.
Fang Heng stayed in the guest room to refine black crystals, while Zane went on a shopping spree on the second floor of the auction house.
Besides the black crystal dust, there were also top-tier elemental crystals that Fang Heng needed, treasures that could provide academic energy for various disciplines, and various treasures with the aura of evil gods that could help him quickly recover his strength.
buy!
I bought them all!
Zain experienced the joy of consumption.
The auction house's second-floor trading area was vast, and Zane had only explored less than a fifth of it, yet he had already found more than ten treasures and items imbued with the aura of an evil god.
After absorbing it all at once, the originally weak and listless aura gradually became solid.
Compared to his peak, he has now recovered about 30% of his strength.
Zain was overjoyed.
If I had known this would happen, I should have brought Fang Heng to the Endless Void much earlier! He went through so much trouble by himself, while Fang Heng could have just waved his hand and refined a few more black crystals.
Ok?
Suddenly, Zain sensed something and his gaze fell on a stall in the right corner ahead.
The stall only had a fist-sized, jet-black stone on display.
Soul-Weeping Stone!
The surface of the stone was constantly covered with wailing faces.
Amazing! This thing is extremely rare! It contains the souls of tens of millions of believers with the power of evil gods, and can provide a large amount of faith power imbued with evil intent.
This is exactly what Zain desperately needs.
If we can absorb it, we can at least recover 10% of our strength!
He would never have dared to think about something like this before.
but now……
I have money! Buy it!
A hint of excitement appeared in Zane's eyes. He strode over and pointed to the Soul-Weeping Stone on the stall, "How much is this?"
The stall owner was a gaunt old man. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Zain, then held up three withered fingers.
"Three hundred black crystal coins."
Without saying a word, Zain pulled out five of the largest pieces of black crystal raw material from his pocket and slammed them onto the stall.
"Is it enough?"
A glint of light flashed in the old man's cloudy eyes. He picked up a piece of black crystal, sensed it carefully, then looked up and examined Zane before nodding slightly.
"enough."
Just as Zain was about to reach for the Soul-Weeping Stone, two figures suddenly stepped forward from behind and blocked his way.
They were security guards at the auction house.
Zain frowned.
Looking back, he saw several auction house guards standing behind him, subtly surrounding the entire stall.
Seemingly realizing that some disturbance had occurred, many busybodies gathered around.
The captain of the security team on the second floor of the auction house looked serious and said to the elderly stall owner, "Wait a moment, this transaction is suspended."
The stall owner hesitated for a moment, looked at the guard captain, then at Zane, and didn't dare to say anything. He simply took the Soul Cry Stone back from Zane's hand.
Seeing that the Soul Stone he had almost obtained was gone, Zane felt displeased and looked at the captain of the guards.
"What does it mean?"
"Sir, we have received a report that you are suspected of using currency of unknown origin in your transactions."
The guard captain was arrogant. As he spoke, he picked up a piece of raw black crystal stone from the stall and held it up to show the growing crowd around him.
"Please look, everyone. As far as I know, this purity of void crystal can only be produced in the most core mining areas under the command of the five main gods, and each piece has a unique energy code for tracking its flow."
He paused, then continued, "But these crystals don't have any energy codes, so we have reason to suspect that they are smuggled goods from the mining area through illegal means."
The onlookers immediately began to whisper among themselves.
Illegal data collection?
In the endless sky, dare to offend the five main gods and steal minerals?
They've got some nerve!
Zain's expression darkened, and he keenly realized that something was wrong.
report?
impossible!
He always paid extra for the items he bought before, and even if the buyers knew they were counterfeit goods, they would be afraid that the crystals they received would be confiscated by the auction house, so they would never report it.
Therefore, the problem most likely lies with the auction house.
Could they be after Fang Heng?
"Bullshit! This is raw black crystal ore I brought from the outside world! What makes you think it came from the Endless Void Mine?"
"Is it?"
The captain of the guards remained unmoved, gave a cold smile, stepped to the side, and raised his hand to indicate, "In that case, in order to ensure the safety of the auction house's transactions and to clear your name of suspicion, please come with us and cooperate with the investigation."
Zain frowned.
He had just recovered 30% of his strength, so he naturally didn't take these guards seriously.
What really worried him was the auction house's backing.
The God of Decay, one of the five main gods.
Um! ?
As Zain was pondering this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He looked up and saw three believers dressed in gray robes standing on the second-floor platform. The aura emanating from the three of them had already locked onto him.
The chosen one of the god of decay!
Zain immediately sensed something was wrong.
If we take action now, it's uncertain whether we can win; it would be tantamount to directly breaking ties with the auction house.
If he causes trouble at the auction house, even if he can prove that the Black Crystal was not stolen, the God of Decay will still have an excuse to kill him.
After hesitating for a moment, Zain nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
The guard captain's face revealed a barely perceptible smile.
"please."
……
In the living room.
Fang Heng finished refining the last batch of black crystal ore and put the high-level elemental crystals of various elements that Zane had previously purchased into his backpack.
Gone.
The raw materials for black crystal dust have been exhausted.
Why hasn't Zane returned yet?
It's been more than half an hour already.
Could it be that they've run into trouble?
Xia Xi also sensed something was wrong and asked, "Should we go see someone?"
Just then, someone knocked on the door from the outside.
"Dong dong dong..."
Xia Xi gave Fang Heng a look and got up to open the door to the room.
The person standing outside the door was not Zain, but a waiter dressed in an auction house uniform.
The waiter smiled and bowed slightly to Xia Xi, "Hello, guest, I'm sorry to bother you."
"what's up?"
“Your colleague, Mr. Zane, has encountered a small problem in the trading area. Our manager, Mr. Feynman, would like to ask you to come over and help us understand the situation.”
Little trouble?
Can you help me understand the situation?
Xia Xi turned to look at Fang Heng inside the room.
Fang Heng asked, "Where is Zane?"
"Please come with me. The manager is waiting for you in the meeting room. He will explain everything to you in detail."
"Well, lead the way."
Fang Heng didn't ask any more questions and followed the waiter with Xia Xi to the reception room.
……
VIP room.
Manager Feynman was talking to Peña when he saw Fang Heng come in. He stood up, still wearing a gentle smile on his face.
"I'm sorry to bother you at this time."
Fang Heng glanced at Peena beside him and asked, "Where's Zane?"
"Please don't worry, Mr. Zane is safe now. Please have a seat."
Feynman gestured for Fang Heng and Xia Xi to sit down before slowly explaining, "It's like this, we received a report that Mr. Zane used a batch of Void Crystals of unknown origin in the trading area." (End of Chapter)
