Monsters Are Coming
Chapter 1260 - 331: Frenzied Auction, Tax Regulation (Part 3)
The Shield Guard Clan, Night Demon Clan, Tianyu Clan... all the race members of the Earth Alliance were utterly shocked by the newly auctioned items on Monster World's official website.
They never expected that the Moon Eclipse Clan possessed such technology that defies understanding.
Lifespan Extension Pill, Star Marrow Spirit Liquid, Thunder Tempered Bone, Purifying Green Lotus... these items, akin to mythical objects or even gods in novels, are now clearly priced and listed on Monster World's official site.
And the use of each item not only enhances physical fitness but can also provide feedback to the player bodies in Monster World.
This clearly marks another major step in the Star Network's promotion of Monster World.
Forums of all races, game forums, streets, and alleys... the discussions among the populace are growing more intense.
"Experiencing this perfect virtual reality game, Monster World, in this lifetime is already satisfying. I never thought I would witness the arrival of the Evolution Era within my lifetime. It's like the pace of development has suddenly sped up."
"How many more treasures is the Moon Eclipse Clan hiding? They always bring out epoch-making products every now and then, almost like they are cheating."
"The launch of the Evolution Store is much more shocking than those two technological products. If the descriptions in the store introduction are true, I can't imagine what the future will become."
"Ahhh, without the qualifications, I can't enjoy Monster World happily, and I can't keep up with the pace of the Evolution Era either. Am I being eliminated by the era? Damn Upper Realm Beings, stop bringing out new stuff before I get player qualifications. Watching this makes me both envious and uncomfortable."
The launch of the Evolution Store has completely overturned the Earth Alliance's understanding of the Moon Eclipse Clan.
In emergency meetings among the upper echelons of each race, a consensus is forming: a reassessment of the Moon Eclipse Clan's overall strength is necessary. Civilization capable of mass-producing such level items clearly has technological capabilities that surpass the combined forces of the entire Earth Alliance.
In fact, it has long been suggested that even if all the races of the Earth Alliance combined, they might not be a match for the Moon Eclipse Clan's technology.
However, this viewpoint cannot be verified from any perspective.
After all, the Moon Eclipse Clan has never truly participated in wars.
Whenever a descent invasion war breaks out, they mainly focus on providing various weapons, equipment, and logistical supplies.
So, even though it's known that the Moon Eclipse Clan is strong, exactly how strong they are has always been an unclear concept.
The appearance of Monster World and the Evolution Store has refreshed all races' perception of Moon Eclipse Clan's strength.
As for whether there's a potential conspiracy behind the Star Network's actions, apart from a few strong clans of the Earth Alliance like the Human Clan, most races didn't even bring this up during emergency meetings.
Similar conspiracy theories have already surfaced back in the days when the Star Network was interfacing with various races.
Ultimately, the Star Network became the core hub of interaction between the Earth Alliance races.
Today, it's even more so.
The Moon Eclipse Clan has already shown that they can easily crush the Earth Alliance with sheer combat power; in the face of absolute strength, conspiracies are meaningless.
If they can easily crush with strength, why go through unnecessary conspiracy layouts?
Meanwhile, the auction for the newly listed items is in full swing,
In the first round of bidding, besides individual players, there were also government (top-level) participants from various races of the Earth Alliance.
Each government even independently initiated the highest level of scientific research procurement plans, viewing these auction items as strategic resources that could alter the course of civilization.
They aim to win the bid not just for personal use, but more for reverse engineering and decomposition.
Top-tier research institutions like the Human Race Federation Academy of Sciences, Tianyu Clan's Spiritual Ability Research Institute, and the Decaverse Clan's Biological Engineering Center have all been granted unlimited bidding authorization from their races.
Their goal is clear: obtain samples at any cost and unlock the advanced technology within.
A sacrificial power price surge like never before has ensued during this period.
The exchange rate for sacrificial power externally is only an estimate, as the real world essentially doesn't produce sacrificial power and lacks channels for its trade.
There's not even traditional financial institutions like banks that can store or transfer sacrificial power.
The war for sacrificial power takes place in the Monster World dimension.
World channels, region channels, player forums... countless players are calling out.
"Brothers, buying sacrificial power at today's market price +30%, sell fast, funds are limited, once full, we stop, PM directly."
"Buying sacrificial power at a high price, PM for a quote, transfer on the spot, no fuss, I can take as much as you have."
"What's the point of hoarding sacrificial power, hurry up and sell to me. Wouldn't you rather exchange sacrificial power for a luxury home, car, or even move to Data City?"
"Is every channel going crazy? Everyone is shouting to buy sacrificial power, but there's no one selling."
Countless voices are calling out the game ID of the president of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce: Shou Jili.
But acquiring sacrificial power is exceedingly difficult, as the Monster World system is not under the government regulation of any race, nor does it have the right to call on other players' personal sacrificial power reserves.
To participate in the auction, you have to present real and substantial sacrificial power funds.
In Monster World's preemptive layout, only two government institutions hold substantial sacrificial power reserves.
These are the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce represented by the Moon Eclipse Clan and the Moon Eclipse Battle Group.
Within the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, there are auction houses, assassin platforms, trading platforms, and other channels producing sacrificial power.
The president, Ah Lan, is the Governor of the Moon Eclipse Clan and represents the official face of the Moon Eclipse Clan, able to provide ample sacrificial power support for the Moon Eclipse Clan.
