Global Era of Star trekking

In the private box, everyone's heart couldn't calm down for a long time. The feeling just now, that life and death were not in one's own hands, as if others could let one die without a sound with a mere thought, was indeed not too pleasant.

However, before they had time to readjust their emotions, the figure in the live communication projection in front of them began to speak slowly.

"Eagle Family Auction House - Silver Spear chain branch, the 258th auction, is now officially open!"

Song Chi did not pay any attention to what the figure was saying. His gaze was fixed on the live communication projection, or more accurately, on the figure in the projection.

This person was clearly floating in mid-air above the auction house, yet no Spectral Energy fluctuations could be seen around him. Although his face was not covered, no one in the auction house could see it clearly.

That's when he heard his father's voice in his ear.

"This person is the Fourth Rank existence of the Eagle Family stationed at the Silver Spear branch, surrounded by a Fourth Rank Lifeform force field. Those below Fourth Rank cannot capture his true face."

Upon hearing his father's explanation, Song Chi suddenly understood, and then he asked another question that he was quite curious about.

"Dad, I remember the guardian of our White Tower Floating Land is also a member of the Eagle Family, right? What's their relationship?"

He remembered hearing from his mother and father in the past that the guardian of the White Tower seemed to be named Geralt Eagle, obviously also a member of the Eagle Family.

And it was precisely because of this that his curiosity was piqued.

The figure before him and the guardian of the White Tower, both members of the Eagle Family and both Fourth Rank Level Torch Ship Captains, why was there such a huge disparity between their situations?

One had been stationed in a remote borderland for a hundred years while the other managed a large, well-reputed auction house on the prosperous Silver Spear Floating Continent, opulently wealthy.

Upon hearing this, Song Chao did not respond immediately.

At this, Song Chi glanced at the live communication projection in front, and did not continue to press the question.

It wasn't until the figure in the live communication projection completely vanished after a flicker that Song Chao spoke in a low voice:

"This person is the cousin of that White Tower guardian, born into one of the three major factions of the Eagle Family. The White Tower guardian has reached his position step by step on his own merit, but without someone above him, he's been subjected to ostracism!"

Hearing this, Song Chi shook his head. A person who had worked his way up step by step, whether in terms of innate talent, character, or encounters, was definitely top-notch. Yet such a person with great potential for the future was being undermined by his own clan members to such an extent that it reflected just how severe the infighting within the Eagle Family had become.

Even at the bottom of his heart, Song Chi harbored a more direct thought.

"This family is indeed rotten to the core!"

However, although he had these reflections, he wouldn't say them out loud. There were definitely many within the Chenxing Principality who shared his views, but to openly declare them would likely invite trouble to his doorstep.

Without time to think too much, shortly after the disappearance of the Fourth Rank existence, the live communication projection quickly fluctuated, and immediately the information about the first auction item was displayed.

As soon as this auction information appeared, different bids quickly flashed one after another on the live communication projection.

[500 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin]

[600 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin]

[800 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin]

[One Purple Quality engine + 50 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin]

[One piece of Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence + 200 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin]

...

These bids ranged from low to high, and it seemed that there were staff from Silver Spear Auction House operating behind the live communication projection, moving each higher valued bid automatically to the top of the projection.

However, among the members of the Song Family, none had ever attempted to make a bid; as it stood, all eight of the family's Second-Rank Torch Ship Captains were already equipped with Purple Quality Energy Shields, and Song Mingsong and Song Shan needed no further mention.

As for Song Chi and the other four First Rank juniors, aside from Song Chi himself, even though they had substantial gains in the recent two operations, asking them to buy a Purple Energy Shield was certainly beyond their financial means.

Even Song Chi himself, without utilizing those 150 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, could not afford a Purple Component.

He currently had over two hundred thousand Zero Rank Floating Land Origin and over ten thousand First Rank Floating Land Origin at his disposal, but regrettably, both were the lowest rank of Floating Land Origin, only needed by Low Rank Stellar Sea Creatures. As for an auction like this, they were utterly irrelevant.

He had considered exchanging them on the black market, but in the black market, generally only exchanges between Zero Rank and First Rank Floating Land Origin were supported, with Second-Rank Floating Land Origin seldom appearing, and even if it did, it would be in paltry amounts like ten or twenty strands, hardly stirring any interest.

Song Chi's only option for utilizing his surplus was during the closing stages of each Ruins Market trade, overpaying with Zero Rank or First Rank Floating Land Origin to exchange with Alien Species, but even that would net only a hundred or so strands at a time, barely exceeding two hundred at most.

Although not insignificant, compared to the earnings of Zero Rank and First Rank Floating Land Origin after each Ruins Market trade, it was nowhere near balanced.
