I accidentally joined a group of charlatans, so I immediately called the police and handed it over t

Five minutes left in the countdown.

The backend servers at Base 001 were humming under the strain.

What was initially a relatively rational bidding process has now completely devolved into a bloodthirsty battle.

For those three sets of "man-slaying colors" that can make your face glow and even make a thousand-year-old witch look like a young girl.

These gods have gone mad.

Inside the Moon Palace.

The fairy Chang'e's skirt fluttered in the wind, and she carried a large axe she had stolen from Wu Gang.

She looked at the empty palace and realized there was really nothing worth showing off.

That gritted teeth.

"boom!"

A loud bang.

She forcefully chopped down the threshold of the Guanghan Palace, which had been passed down for tens of thousands of years.

[Chang'e]: @Chen Xi, I've torn down the threshold of the Moon Palace!

[Chang'e]: This is the heartwood of a laurel tree that has grown for ten thousand years!

【Chang'e】: With a hardness comparable to gold and iron, and possessing extreme cold properties, it is absolutely a peerless divine object for manufacturing superconducting materials!

[Chang'e]: I'm just asking you, are you going to change or not?!

Li Guobang stared at the screen, the half-smoked cigarette in his hand burning his fingernail.

He shuddered violently, his face contorted in pain.

"That's a sacred tree that's been there for ten thousand years..."

"If this were used to make a superconducting magnetohydrodynamic propulsion system, our submarines could roam freely across this planet!"

"What a waste! Such a waste of money!"

However, even more extravagant spending was yet to come.

The usually honest and kind-hearted giant spirit was now going all out to please the little fox spirit who had just taken human form in the mortal realm.

[Giant Spirit God]: Don't try to take it from me!

[Giant Spirit]: I don't have much good stuff, only these two Xuanhua battle axes are somewhat presentable.

[Giant Spirit God]: @Chen Xi, I'll melt it down right now!

[Giant Spirit God]: Although this axe is not as good as the Great Sage's staff, it is mixed with three catties of star sand, so it is extremely hard!

[Giant Spirit]: Just leave me one set! That little fox spirit said she wouldn't let me into the cave without lipstick!

The entire chat group was filled with a suffocating "stench of money".

No, to be precise, it smelled like the sour stench of a divine artifact.

Li Guobang clutched his chest, feeling like he was about to have a heart attack.

Su Qingge slumped into her chair, her eyes glazed over.

Those materials that only exist in myths and legends were thrown out by these gods like cabbages.

Some people even do it simply to get a lipstick in a nicer shade.

This world is crazy.

"Don't they... live their lives?"

Li Guobang muttered to himself, feeling as if his worldview had shattered into dust.

Chen Xi remained expressionless.

His hand holding the teacup was steady, but only he knew that his palms were sweaty.

He's gambling.

I'm betting that the real big shot hasn't made a move yet.

Just then.

The frantically refreshing messages on the screen seemed to be abruptly cut off by an invisible hand.

It suddenly stopped.

It's not a network lag, nor is it a server crash.

Instead, a barrage of comments, imbued with supreme authority and gleaming with golden light, swept across the entire screen.

It domineeringly captured everyone's attention.

[Queen Mother of the West]: Shut up, all of you.

Just six simple words.

It exudes an undeniable air of dominance.

Even through the screen, Chen Xi could almost see the woman sitting atop the Jade Pool Golden Palace, adorned in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robes.

She was squinting her phoenix eyes, looking down at the group of country bumpkins who had never seen the world with an air of superiority.

The group chat fell into a deathly silence.

Even Nezha, who was just shouting about demolishing the house, seemed to have been silenced and didn't dare to utter a single word.

The giant god, who had just been preparing to melt down weapons, silently hid his battle axe behind his back.

Princess Iron Fan looked at the message, gritted her teeth, and finally silently withdrew her bid.

That's status.

This is the oppressive feeling of being the head of the female immortals in the Heavenly Court.

Who dares to snatch things from the Queen Mother?

Are they tired of living, or do they think being struck by lightning isn't painful enough?

Even Sun Wukong, who loves to join in the fun, chose to stay silent and watch the drama unfold, posting a "eating peach" emoji before quickly retracting it.

Followed by.

There was no nonsense, no haggling, and no fancy sales pitches.

A red link popped up.

Clean and efficient.

[Queen Mother of the West]: @Chen Xi, this is a scrap of the "Five-Colored Stone" left over from when Nuwa patched up the sky.

[Queen Mother of the West]: In addition, I will add another layer of "Gengjin Qi" that has been nurtured for 100,000 years beneath the Jade Pool and Golden Palace.

[Queen Mother of the West]: I want this first set.

[Queen Mother of the West]: Who agrees? Who disagrees?

boom--!!!

If Nezha and Princess Iron Fan's bids were bombshells...

So now, what the Queen Mother of the West has dropped is a nuclear bomb that can blow up the entire Earth.

Li Guobang slid off the chair and landed on his bottom on the floor.

"A...a stone for mending the sky?!"

That's a divine object from the goddess Nuwa!

It is the cornerstone that constitutes the rules of this world!

Even the scraps are treasures containing the laws of heaven and earth!

Is there still the Qi of Geng Metal?

That is the ancestor of all wealth in the world!

It is the ancestor of all weapons of war!

With just a trace, ordinary iron can be transformed into a divine weapon that can cut through iron like mud, and can even easily slice through space!

For three lipsticks?

For a few bottles of foundation?

The Queen Mother of the West actually used strategic resources of this level?!

This is no longer a matter of diminishing returns.

They flipped the table over, dismantled the legs and took them with them, and even set the house on fire.

Chen Xi looked at the screen and took a deep breath.

Even he was trembling slightly at this moment.

Bet right.

A woman's vanity, especially the vanity of a woman in a high position of power, is the most terrifying driving force in the universe.

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, this was more than just lipstick.

This is the "dignity" she, as the mistress of Heaven, must relinquish.

Chen Xi did not hesitate at all.

Click to complete the transaction quickly.

[Chen Xi]: Deal!

[Chen Xi]: Congratulations, Your Majesty, on acquiring the "Supreme Man-Slaying Color" set!

[Chen Xi]: May Your Majesty's beauty last forever, rule the six palaces, and outshine all others in the three realms!

The transaction completion notification sounded.

On the teleportation platform at the bottom level of Base 001.

"boom--!!!"

A loud bang.

It was as if the entire base had been slapped hard by a giant hand, causing a magnitude 7 earthquake.

The alarm blared and the red lights flashed wildly.

"Warning! Warning! Extremely high energy radiation detected!"

"Gravity anomaly! Gravity anomaly! Local gravity has increased by five hundred times!"

"Air ionization levels are off the charts! The defensive perimeter is about to collapse!"

Despite the piercing alarm, Chen Xi, Li Guobang, and Su Qingge gripped the handrail tightly and rushed to the observation window.

On the incredibly sturdy special alloy conveyor platform, one could see...

A rock, no bigger than a fist, appeared out of nowhere.

It emits a colorful light, which is not dazzling, but gives people an extremely profound and ancient feeling.

It was as if it wasn't a stone at all.

Instead, it is a miniature, majestic Mount Tai.

"Click—"

The alloy tabletop, which can withstand being run over by a tank, was actually dented by this small stone!

And above the stone.

A wisp of golden gas swirled around it.

It seemed to be alive, moving and weaving through the air with incredible agility.

"Sizzle—sizzle—"

It merely brushed lightly across the air, tearing it apart and producing a tooth-grinding, scratching sound, like fingernails scraping a blackboard.

Even the surrounding space was cut by this gas, and tiny black cracks appeared.

That's a spatial rift!

Sharp.

Extremely sharp.

It was as if even light, upon reaching it, would be mercilessly sliced ​​in two.

Su Qingge was pressed against the explosion-proof glass, her face was squeezed out of shape, but she was completely unaware.

The light in her eyes was brighter than the five-colored stone; it was a kind of pilgrimage-like fervor.

"What... what kind of material structure is this?"

"Its density is ten thousand times that of gold... no, a hundred thousand times! It might even be the normalization of neutron star matter!"

"That gas... is that plasma? No, it's pure energy materialization! It's the embodiment of rules!"

"Chen Xi! Chen Xi, look!"

Su Qingge suddenly turned her head, her voice hoarse, yet filled with an almost manic excitement.

She grabbed Chen Xi's collar and shook him like a madwoman.

"If we could analyze even one ten-thousandth of this thing..."

"Our materials science will no longer face bottlenecks!"

"Even the strongest alloys available now are like tofu dregs in front of it!"

"We will skip directly from the Industrial Age and enter the Interstellar Age!"

Chen Xi let her shake him, his gaze fixed on the stone and the aura.

He slowly picked up the chipped teacup.

His hands are very steady.

But the ambition in his eyes was no longer concealed; it burned fiercely like wildfire.

That radiance was even more captivating than the five-colored stone.

"Dr. Su, stop spacing out."

Chen Xi's voice was soft, yet it traveled clearly through the microphone throughout the deathly silent laboratory.

"Your quantum computer is too narrow-minded."

He raised his hand and pointed to the metal energy that was cutting through space.

A cruel and arrogant smile slowly curved his lips.

"Computers can only tell fortunes."

"But this thing..."

"What we're going to build now."

"It is a truth that can be hung on the South Heavenly Gate and pierce through a planet with a single shot."

"start."
