Dream Travel

Chapter 450: Still seems to be poor?

At first, Bai Mu thought that Vibel wanted him to stay with her for two days, but it turned out that she wanted Bai Mu to help deliver something.

She didn't specify what she gave Lily.

At the auction, Bai Mu and Vibel sat together.

This is an official auction in Meilin City. News of it came out as early as two weeks ago, and there are many items to be auctioned.

Even without that meteorite, many people would still come here.

"Won't this auction take a long time?" Bai Mu asked Vibel, sipping his drink.

"No, ordinary things don't appear here."

"So what do you want to buy?"

"You can come here to take a look even if you don't buy anything," Vibel said with a smile.

Bai Mu completed the verification process himself, but he agreed to do Vibel a favor. Anyway, Vibel didn't need him to sleep with her; she just needed to send her something, which didn't have to be anything special.

The method for verifying funds through a white-hat scheme is very simple: just take out those few anonymous deposit certificates.

Once that thing is verified, it becomes a real fortune, and because it's a bearer deposit, it's even more valuable.

Moreover, it's not easy to obtain large amounts of bearer certificates of deposit.

"Are you trying to hook up with rich guys?"

“I know almost everyone here, mainly to get to know outsiders.” Vibel didn’t hide her reason for attending the auction.

She knows a lot about the local celebrities, but auctions always attract some non-locals.

Not long after, the auction began. The first item was a plate, a Dream Erosion item, used to enhance flavor.

Starting bid: 20,000...

A plate would certainly not cost this much, but as a Dream Erosion item, it does.

Although this plate has nothing to do with combat, its dream-erosion attribute is quite good for wealthy people.

Isn't one of the greatest needs of human beings to live simply to eat?
Unfortunately, the plate wasn't fancy enough, otherwise it would have been worth more. It was eventually auctioned off for 80,000.

The White Curtain wasn't particularly interested in this item, but the presence of Dream Erosion items from the start raised the value of the auction.

After that, there were many special auction items, many of which were Dream Erosion items, but most of them were non-combat types.

The auxiliary function and the carrier are not a good match.

But Dream-eroded items are valuable as long as they exist.

Moreover, even if the Dream Erosion attribute doesn't match, it can still be useful as long as the Dream Erosion attribute is special.

Bai Mu's thought was, "Wow, there are so many rich people!"
Meilin City truly lives up to its reputation for having mineral resources.

"You don't want anything?"

“I prefer combat-type items.” Bai Mu shook his head, but most of the Dream Erosion items appearing at this auction were auxiliary.

Occasionally, there are combat-related elements, but those are not what White Curtain wants, as the vessel and Dream Eclipse attributes are too mismatched.

Just like that flavor-enhancing Dream Erosion attribute, it first appeared on a plate, and then on a knife.

That knife wasn't a kitchen knife; it was specifically designed to cut people. The presence of the Dream Erosion attribute means that this weapon can only be used as a regular weapon, and it's not really suitable as a kitchen utensil.

One particularly valuable item at the auction fetched over six million.

It was a piece of Dream Erosion food, the wing of some kind of bird. After testing, it was determined that eating it would give one invisible wings.

A rare Dream Erosion ingredient; even ordinary people can gain the ability to fly after eating it.

Bai Mu originally wanted to give it a try, but the price made him give up. He had so much wealth, but this wasn't Rota City.

And going to fly or something...

"Can you fly?"

“I can stay airborne, but I’m not a true demon.” Vibel shook her head. She had human blood, so she didn’t have demon horns or wings, and she didn’t pursue those things too much… after all, it was her human mother who raised her.

"I've realized I seem to be a poor person."

Vibel said with a smile, "The quality of this auction is high. At other times, it would be good if something cost more than two million."

Generally speaking, items that cost more than two million are either dream-eroded items with good dream-erosion properties and a high degree of compatibility with the carrier.

Or it could be high-quality dream-eating ingredients.

The ingredients for Dream Erosion are also divided into many types. The common ones are like the shark fin that Bai Mu ate back then, which can only give a weak wind-controlling effect.

The best part is the 'wings' that are now appearing at auctions.

It's something that, once consumed, grants the user the ability to fly.

The 'demon flesh and blood' that Bai Mu ate was also considered an excellent Dream Erosion ingredient. As for Dream Erosion Mushroom, it was ranked the highest in Bai Mu's list.

It's unlikely that anything better will emerge in the future.

"This is the meteorite that appeared in Meilin City yesterday. After testing, this meteorite only has a slight dream erosion residue."

The auctioneer explained the origin of the meteorite, and no one present was surprised; some even began to leave.

After all, this meteorite was added later; it was more of an "Easter egg," but an Easter egg is not the same as the main event after the main event.

The most valuable items at this auction have already been sold, so the meteorite isn't that attractive.

Moreover, those who were capable received the news in advance, and even those who did not receive the news knew the origin of the meteorite.

How special can this thing be to be put up for auction so quickly?

Some potential buyers, however, treat this as a large-scale gambling stone.

Starting bid: 100,000!

Once the starting price was announced, and considering the appearance of the meteorite, some people left the auction, but those who remained were the ones who truly wanted it.

Moreover, Bai Mu also saw the person who had previously spent over two million on purchases.

"Would you like to give it a try?" Vibel asked the white curtain.

"No need." Bai Mu shook his head, showing little interest in the thing. Besides, there were so many other things he could do with 100,000 yuan, why buy such a small stone?
As for using the Dream Eater Imperial Arm to see things with X-ray vision, I can only say it's not very effective.

The auction house has something similar to a city defense protocol, which can detect the use of Dream Erosion items.

“Since you’re not interested, let’s go.” Vibel stood up as well.

She came here partly to get to know the wealthy outsiders, and partly to show her support, since everyone who can come here has assets.

Will the official auction be overly manipulated in this regard?

Unless she comes across something she really likes, Vibel won't make a move here.

Auctioning Easter eggs is basically just letting people who like to play with them bid on them.

With their departure, about half the people remained at the auction.

Rich people come to places like this to spend money, and most of the people who stay are there to satisfy their own preferences.

Instead of taking the white curtain to the tavern, Vibel took it to her home.

Bai Mu once lived here.

"Just take this to Lily."

"I can't open it, can I?" Bai Mu looked at the box with a combination lock. The box wasn't big; it looked like a pencil case.

“It has a lock,” Vibel said with a smile.

"I'll bring it with me." Bai Mu put the box into the weapon case.

A lock only keeps out honest people, not scoundrels.
