"The requirements sure are high, almost like a miracle. But if there arenât auction items of sufficient weight, those high-ranking, wealthy Awakened figures wonât show up, and the Fengzi Auction House will make a fool of itself."
Bai Pu said calmly, "So, the Fengzi Auction House must have released some information about the auction items, right?"
"Yes, there were screenshots of three auction items in the invitation, including a piece of Golden Named Artifact Equipment!"
"Golden Named Artifact?!"
Bai Pu showed interest.
Bronze Named Relic is superior to ordinary Blue Equipment.
Silver Named Relic is superior to ordinary Golden Equipment.
And Golden Named Relic is half a tier stronger than usual Dark Gold Equipment, typically only dropped by peak strong natives from Advanced Source Planes.
For example, Lu Bu from the Advanced Area of the Three Kingdoms World.
"Whatâs the equipment, what are its specific attributes?" Bai Pu asked.
"Not disclosed, probably using it as a gimmick to attract big shots to the auction,"
Li Ling said, "According to the Fengzi Auction Houseâs advertisement, this time not only is there a Golden Named Artifact as the grand finale, but also countless Spiritual Marvels, all unique products from higher layers of the world."
"Higher layers of the world... could it be the Silver Heart Great World?"
Bai Puâs thoughts expanded further, "Could it be, that the Fengzi Auction House has support from some force in the Silver Heart Great World? That canât be underestimated. Respond back, Iâll attend the auction this time if I have time."
Though Bai Pu hasnât been Awakened for long, he has the long-term financial source of "Youth Cream," the Scania Territoryâs fixed output, and a windfall from developing the Giant Fern Mountain and Steppe Border, his wealth has reached several million Spiritual Points.
Even with Spiritual Points as "cash," Bai Puâs account has over a million, proving his wealth and qualification to attend is absolutely no issue.
Li Ling reminded, "With your financial strength, attending is not an issue. But it might not be enough to acquire truly good items. Let alone those Golden Named Artifacts as showpieces, even the âsecond showpieceâ items could fetch a final price of not less than two to three million."
This is the reference data from past Miracle Auction Housesâ "Peak Auctions."
"Itâs fine, I have a solution."
Bai Pu waved and said, "I logged into the Virtual Spirit Realm some time ago and scanned my Level 6 data into a Character Card. I didnât release it immediately since I hadnât finished the Profession Plane trial and didnât want to reveal all my strength. Now, at Level 7, Iâve mastered higher Mystical Arts, so thereâs no need to keep the Level 6 Character Card a secret."
Li Lingâs spirit lifted, "Your Basic Character Card, Blood Armor Shield Guard·Steel Heart sold exceptionally well, ultimately earning over 700,000 Spiritual Points in royalties! The Mid-level Character Card is priced higher, and wonât have fewer buyers. Leave this to me."
Bai Pu had intended this, itâs also the significance of the Practical Officerâs existenceâto solve some mundane daily matters for the big Awakened figures, allowing them ease.
Of course, Bai Pu as a special figure in a fast rise phase, needs Li Ling to handle tasks, giving him time for cultivation.
Suddenly, Bai Pu felt a vibration in the Heart Image Space, a call from the heart.
"Great Source Lord, your servants have prepared rich offerings, praying for your descent..."
Bai Pu slightly closed his eyes, instantly sensing this is the prayer from Bonnie of the Original Sin World, "Evolution Blade."
"Finally prepared, huh?"
Bai Pu had long been waiting for the call from the Original Sin World.
After simple arrangements, he directly responded to the summoning.
...
In the space channel, Bai Pu was enveloped in a layer of special dark red glow, silently floating.
Suddenly, the scenery paused before his eyes, his body entered a state of stagnation.
Last time responding to the Source Lordâs Descent summoning, such a bizarre occurrence did not happen.
However, Bai Pu did not panic, as he was familiar with this stagnation.
This should be the typical method before Spirit Realm Will matches.
Only, Bai Pu was curious, he didnât match through a ticket this time, just responded to the slaveâs call, why did Spirit Realm Willâs matching still fall on him?
Soon, information prompt boxes appeared before Bai Pu.
[Awakened Steel Heart, due to unknown reasons, you are about to enter the Substrate Plane: Original Sin World.]
[Your expected stay in the Original Sin World is 4 natural days.]
[Detected that your military rank is at Quasi-Captain Level, hereby issuing a military rank promotion task!]
[Due to the unique nature of the Original Sin World, this military rank promotion task has generated three branches. Besides completing the initial task, you can choose any branch to complete, acquire rarer military rank types, and enjoy more favorable treatment.]
[For example: completing the Golden Branch task will earn you a Golden Military Rank, promoting you to Golden Major; completing the Silver Branch task will earn you a Silver Military Rank, promoting you to Silver Major, and so forth.]
[You may also decline this military rank promotion task. If you do so, the military rank promotion task will automatically trigger upon next Spirit Realm matching.]
[You must agree to accept the military rank promotion task before viewing the specific task information. Do you agree?]
Bai Pu thought for a moment, then asked, "Golden Major, Silver Major, compared to ordinary Major officers, what advantages are there?"
[Taking Silver Major as an example: Silver Majors disregard the military rank suppression from Silver Level and below officers, and have additional effects when exerting military rank suppression on other Awakened of Silver Level and below; rare exchange items will appear at the military supplies exchange counter at a Silver Level, and a 30% Honor Points discount when exchanging.]
[Above is just one part of Silver Majorâs advantages.]
Bai Pu slightly nodded, then asked again, "If I refuse now, when the Spirit Realm matching next triggers a military rank promotion task, will there still be Golden and Silver Branch tasks?"
[Military rank promotion tasks only branch in special target worlds, encouraging Awakened to challenge higher difficulty branch tasks. Ordinary Spirit Realm Plane explorations wonât have extra branches.]
Understood.
Ordinary Plane Worlds have only one regular task for military rank promotion, completing which allows promotion to Black Iron Level School Officer.
But the Original Sin World is a Substrate Plane, with items even Spirit Realm Will needs â Holy Artifacts! Therefore, military rank promotion tasks generate multiple branches.
If missed this time, Bai Pu doesnât know where another "Substrate Plane" exists.
"I agree!"
Bai Pu decided, "Let me see the difficulty of each branch task!"
