Chapter 349: Special Dragon Egg!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the huge auction hall, there were many voices bidding.
The auctioneer began to introduce the special Dragon Egg.
“Everyone, this egg is a little special. We have to explain its situation. Please be patient and listen before you decide whether to bid.”
At this moment, Mike heard someone beside him say, “Look, he’s starting to auction that egg that will never sell.”
“Isn’t that right? With his ability, I reckon that this egg has lost money.”
Mike was a little surprised. At this moment, he heard the auctioneer say, “This egg was originally a summoning dragon egg. It was produced by a Frost Dragon. Speaking of which, there is still nothing wrong with it. However, the problem lies here. The father of this dragon egg is a Red Earth Fire Eragon. Under the combination of the Frost Dragon and the Fire Dragon, this egg was formed.”
“Ever since we got this egg, we tried everything we could to hatch it, but the egg did not move. It was no different from a dead egg. However, if we were to say that it was a dead egg, it would be a lie. The aura of life in this egg is frighteningly high. We couldn’t do anything about it at the moment, so we took it out and auctioned it.”
Eve mocked from within the summoning barrier, “That’s right. How can an egg with divine power be hatched? Mike, I think you can hatch this egg. Based on the divine power contained in this egg, it will definitely be a great help to you in the future.”
Mike looked at the egg expressionlessly. His heart was already filled with excitement.
He was worried that there was no heaven-tier summoning beast, but here, a ready-made one was delivered to his doorstep.
The auctioneer stood on the stage and babbled for a long time before finally saying, “Unknown Dragon Egg. The starting bid is 100 gold coins. Each increment must not be less than 1,000 gold coins. Let the bidding begin.”
Mike did not make the first move. He looked around and after realizing that no one was bidding, he began to wait quietly.
After a moment, he asked helplessly, “Is no one interested in this egg? If there is, you can bid for it.”
The auctioneer had already made up his mind. If no one bid for this egg, he would go back and make it into egg soup.
He suddenly remembered that he could not break this egg. He said, “I forgot to say. The eggshell of this egg is abnormally hard. It should be a good material to make armor.”
The people below burst into laughter. Still, no one bid.
At this moment, Mike said, “100 gold coins, I’ll take it.”
The auctioneer’s face was immediately filled with a smile. He looked at Mike and said with a smile, “This person, you really have good eyesight. I can believe that you will definitely have a good partner in the future.”
Mike said with a smile, “Forget about a partner, I want to see what kind of armor it can be made into.”
Everyone burst into laughter again, and he also laughed. How could he not tell that Mike was deliberately saying this because he was afraid that someone would bid against him?
He sighed to himself, thinking that it was better to sell at the bottom price than not.
Just as he was about to announce that the egg belonged to Mike, he heard a voice from the other side, “This egg, 1,000 gold coins. I want it.”
Mike turned his head and saw that the one who bid was actually Luke, the son of the person in power.
Mike sighed to himself. He knew in his heart that this matter was definitely not that simple.
He said to Mike, “My friend, I’m different from you. I want to taste the egg soup made from this egg.”
However, no one laughed this time. Everyone looked at Mike, wanting to see how he would deal with this matter.
Mike said, “How about this, I’ll pay 500 gold coins for the eggshell?”
His face darkened, but he then said, “Alright, I’ll crack open this egg after I get it. When that time comes, don’t forget to look for me to buy the eggshell.”
Mike nodded and said, “Alright.”
Mike was a little anxious. He thought to himself, if such a good egg was made into egg soup, it would really be the greatest waste.
However, he did not know that Luke was also feeling anxious in his heart. This was because he had also discovered the divine power that was wrapped around this egg. That was a power that he had seen only on his teacher’s body. Now, he had actually discovered it on an egg. What did this mean? Was there any hope for this egg to become a divine-tier in the future?
Luke did not doubt in the slightest that Mike had also discovered the difference in this egg. He had already made up his mind that if Mike continued to be entangled with him, he would snatch this egg even if he had to make a move to snatch it.
When Mike saw that the matter today was not that simple, he could only say, “What a coincidence. Mike also wants to drink egg flower soup today. Why don’t this little brother give up his love for me?”
When Demoness heard this, she immediately frowned and tugged on Mike’s sleeve.
Everyone’s mouths were wide open, and they looked as if they could not believe it. They did not expect that there would really be someone who would dare to snatch something from Luke.
Luke said, “Is that senior Demoness over there? I wonder if you still recognize me?”
Demoness could only smile apologetically and say,
“It has been many years since we last met. Junior’s skills have grown.”
Luke smiled and said, “This guy looks unfamiliar. Is he your husband?”
Demoness looked at Mike and shook her head.
Luke said, “That’s a pity. If he was your husband, I could have given this egg to you. Now, it’s better to forget about it.”
Mike was secretly shocked. This was indeed not simple. This move of his had given away all his face. When the time came for them to really shed all pretense of cordiality, it would only be between the two of them. It would be difficult for the academy to speak up for him.
When Mike thought of this, he said in a clear voice, “You must be joking. Since it’s a bid, let’s not talk too much nonsense here. Let’s go back to the auction. If we make a move based on our ability, the one with the highest price will get it. What do you think?”
Luke smiled and said, “In that case, please make a bid, Mike.”
Mike nodded and said in a clear voice, “10,000 gold coins.”
There was an uproar in the audience. They did not expect Mike to not only dare to bid, but also directly increase the price of the egg by one zero.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Luke smiled and said, “Mike, then I’ll play along too! 100,000 gold coins!”
Everyone looked at him in shock. In their eyes, what the two people bid for was no longer important. Now, they were completely fighting with each other.
Demoness whispered to Mike,
“It’s the person in power in the Northern Region. If we offend him, I’m afraid it will be inconvenient in the future.”
Mike smiled and said, “If he doesn’t offend me, then we’ll be burning incense.”
He raised his head and smiled:
“One million gold coins.”
Everyone was already numb to this kind of one-digit increase in price. They were faintly divided into two factions. One faction stood by his side, while the other faction naturally stood by Mike’s side.
Just as they were about to raise the price, they heard the attendant say, “Young Master, we only brought 800,000 gold coins. There won’t be any more.”
Luke frowned.. He was about to say that he would borrow it, but on second thought, if he really did that, then his divine power would naturally be lower than Mike’s.
