The last set of items were related to things acquired from the outer battlefield. Most of these were unknown to this universe's people, and Hye had an instant interest in acquiring few of them.
Yet when he checked the allocated initial prices for them, he got an instant scare. The cheapest was one hundred million bones, and from the silver grade on top of that.
That was the initial price, not including the increases that would come from bidding. Just thinking about paying such an enormous price for things no one knew how to use was indeed quite unpleasant.
As he lost interest in buying any of these, he started to ignore any item that came from the outer world. The items shown in the list weren't arranged in any order actually, and he had to pick them one by one to see what they were.
"A chariot!" Just as he scanned through the pages, he found something that made him pause in focus. It was a chariot, one that was like the chariot he had, but greatly different, highly advanced.
His chariot accompanied him in all his adventures and epic battles in the time of the apocalypse. And yet it was still considered pretty low level compared to things he saw here.
The chariot sold was considered a mid-grade artefact, based on the standards of the universe. That meant it was very strong, highly advanced than his own chariot.
There were lots of details about this chariot, but barely enough for him to know what it could really do. It was mentioned there that this chariot could travel fast, looking like a gigantic ship, presiding over a cloud of some sort.
It also ran on energy, with dozens of highly advanced hearts to fuel it. It wasn't dragged by anything, just moving out using the weird cloud it resided on.
Unlike his old chariot, this one got stealth effects, a space of its own to store away his forces if he needed to. Hye didn't hate having an extra space to store his forces at. But the description of it lacked narrating the skills it could perform, despite briefing everything by saying it was a beast in any war, against any enemy or foe.
Hye loved it! It showed a short clip showing what it looked like, and from the first glance it felt like it was a brutal weapon of war. It was like a huge yacht, with a golden and black metallic cover. Even the twenty grand masts and sails were all in gold and black.
"It has cannons!" Hye noticed openings at the side of this colossal yacht, with lots of red thick barrels coming out from them. He loved it the moment he saw this short clip. But the price was indeed quite scary.
"Two hundred million silver grade bones? That's a steal!" He knew comparing this chariot's price with his old one was like the difference between heaven and earth. But he knew it must be worth its weight in gold.
"Are you going to take part in the auction or what?" the princess waited for an hour or so before she finally grew impatient and asked.
"Count me in," Hye decided to take part in this auction if he'd just get the crystal heart alone. But with this chariot, and even if he just passed through ten pages of the entire list of the auction goods, he decided to cut it short and check items sold one by one and decide on the spot.
He paid the fees to gain access to the auction. Unlike what he expected, he didn't need to go to any place or something to watch the show.
"Relax here then," the princess was now acting totally different than before, beaming her face with a smile that was so wide to make Hye doubt cracks would appear there, "you'll gain access to the entire auction from the interface."
"And the bidding? The payment process? How can I get my stuff?"
"Everything is handled by the interface," Uncle Lam answered, "you'll find options to bid on any item. Once the item is sold to you, you'll get a message to pay the needed price. Your bones will be deducted automatically from your inventory, and then the item will appear in your inventory."
"Nice," Hye picked a comfortable sofa and laid his body on it, "you can go and do whatever you want now."
"We'll send servants with delicious meals," the princess couldn't control her happiness anymore, went out while laughing like she won the lottery.
Hye watched all this and inwardly smirked. This was just the effect of him paying very little of his wealth. Bones? They might be something precious in the eyes of any superpower of the universe. But to him, they were just rocks he'd find in any battleground.
"You are crazy, do you know that?" from the side, the green nymph lady watched all this happening without saying a word. She knew Hye had much more bones than the ones the princess seemed pretty excited about.
And yet seeing Hye pay such an amount without batting an eye made her want to take more from him. If not for knowing that Hye wasn't weak, she'd even try to kill and loot half of his belongings.
The happiness that appeared on the princess' face was still lingering in her mind. "I want to feel such happiness," she thought to himself, thinking again about making a better offer about the crystal mines.
Hye ignored her and started to focus on the interface in front of him. Just moments before the princess and Uncle Lam left, the interface changed.
A shining gold dot started to flash in the centre of the interface. It was pulsating, as if it was waiting for something. Hye waited for a couple of minutes before the flashing dot expanded, covering up the entire screen with a flash of golden light, before the interface showed a screen of a sexy lady standing on stage, with a table made out of ruby in front of her, and an item was present on top of it.
