Chapter 148 No Way to Turn the Tables

The price of 500,000 Universal Points was announced, and the entire venue fell silent.

It could be said that this was already a very serious premium in the auction.

Was the gun Repentance worth 500,000 Universal Points? The answer was yes!

But the point was that over 99% of those who used Repentance were Gunners!

Given the awkward position of Gunners in the later stages of a team, if it was a core member of the team, then they would be willing to pay a maximum of 400,000 Universal Points, keeping the premium rate below 50%.

To be honest, being able to do this was already the limit, even if the Gunner himself was the leader of the team. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain to the team members if it went any higher.

This situation was like the U.S. Department of Defense going to an Iraqi warlord in the real world: Our B-2 bomber is so awesome, how about we sell you one for only $100 million? Isn't that cheap to the extreme?

The cost of a B-2 bomber is $840 million each, and $100 million is indeed super cheap, but the Iraqi warlord can only offer a price of $10 million. Why? Because they don't have the money.

Even if the deal is finally completed for political reasons, it doesn't necessarily mean that the real value of the B-2 bomber is only $10 million. It's just that the buyer's inability determines the low price.

At this time, Fang Senyan directly quoted a price of 500,000 Universal Points, which was clearly aimed at driving the man to desperation, using his transcendent position in the team to suppress the reserve admiral in front of him!

As soon as this quote came out, the reserve admiral's face turned ashen. He said in a sinister tone:

"A mere lieutenant colonel, daring to be so arrogant in front of me?"

The reserve admiral suddenly took out a silver story-quality spear and asked the Space:

"If I say I want to pawn this weapon, how many Universal Points can I get in exchange?"

After scanning, the Space immediately gave a reply:

"30,000 Universal Points! Redeem it before entering the next world, no fee can be paid. Redeem it after experiencing one world, a 10% handling fee is required, 3,000 Universal Points. Redeem it after experiencing two worlds, a 20% handling fee is required. Redeem it after experiencing three worlds, a 40% handling fee is required. When the handling fee exceeds the price of the pawn, it becomes a dead pawn."

The man chose to pawn it without hesitation, then gritted his teeth and matched Fang Senyan's price.

Fang Senyan smiled, appearing very calm:

"530,000 Universal Points."

This number was already approaching Fang Senyan's limit, but the closer he got to this point, the more composed Fang Senyan appeared. On the other hand, the Miner suddenly smiled and said:

"I can personally lend you 100,000 Universal Points, interest-free."

Fang Senyan asked curiously:

"Why?"

The Miner said very seriously:

"I heard some things from the Stockholm team… um, and if I'm not mistaken, the light shining on your glove should be a Liquid Metal Lifeform, right? So, I think you're worth investing in."

Fang Senyan smiled slightly:

"You have a good eye. So, I've decided to accept your help."

Faced with Fang Senyan's relentless pressure, the reserve admiral appeared very embarrassed. Fortunately, at this moment, another reserve lieutenant general stood up and said coldly:

"Chabar, you're really pathetic, being forced into such a state by a mere lieutenant colonel. I'll lend you 100,000 Universal Points."

Usually, there are conflicts between reserve officers and regular officers. Regular officers definitely have an advantage over reserve officers. To put it bluntly, just by standing in front of you and looking at your rank, a sense of superiority arises spontaneously.

And the reserve officers are the same. The relationship between the two is a bit similar to the difference between the Central Army and local warlords.

At this time, Chabar was being forced into a very embarrassing situation. The other reserve lieutenant general lent out 100,000 Universal Points not only for this reason, but also because he and Chabar originally had a very good relationship, similar to allies, so he naturally had to help with all his strength.

However, after Chabar followed up with a gritted teeth, Fang Senyan made another move that caused an uproar! He directly quoted 600,000 Universal Points!! This behavior was undoubtedly extremely bad, as if he had slapped Chabar and the reserve lieutenant general who lent him money hard in the face!!

You have money to lend out 100,000, right? I'll crush you two idiots all the same!

At this time, under the public gaze, Chabar and the reserve lieutenant general who lent him money only felt a burning sensation on their faces, as if they had been slapped hard. Everyone participating in the auction was a prominent figure, and this was a real loss of face. At this time, Chabar laughed wildly, but said word by word from between his teeth:

"Good, good, good! You're amazing. Do you think you have a lot of money?"

While saying this, Chabar had already taken off a dark gold equipment from his body and requested to pawn it to the Space for 100,000 Universal Points. At this time, Chabar's liquid funds far exceeded Fang Senyan's, so he actually turned the tables and quoted 700,000 Universal Points!! It seemed that he was going to compete with Fang Senyan for fixed assets.

The Nightmare Space is obviously similar to the real world. Many wealthy people in the real world have assets of hundreds of billions, which are actually included in fixed assets, stocks, etc., and the actual liquid funds may only be tens of millions or millions.

Obviously, Chabar regarded Fang Senyan as the kind of nouveau riche who only occasionally got a large sum of liquid funds, but had very few fixed assets. Therefore, he relied on his long time in the Space and planned to deter Fang Senyan with fixed equipment and compete with him for overall financial strength.

Fang Senyan didn't bother to talk nonsense with him. He didn't even need to take off his own equipment. He directly threw out "Ukiyo-e". For Fang Senyan, the greatest use of this dark gold item was to allow Wu Ge to locate the coordinates of this place with the teleportation array once.

Now that he had summoned Wu Ge once and successfully allowed her to locate the Nightmare Space, it had lost its greatest value to Fang Senyan! So Fang Senyan indifferently took out Ukiyo-e to pawn it.

As soon as this dark gold item was unveiled, it immediately set off a low storm in the entire venue. Although it quickly subsided, it still attracted the attention of several people.

"Ukiyo-e? It's really Ukiyo-e! That magical treasure that can pull out the boss alone and kill it. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a unique reward for the golden branch mission!"

A reserve admiral couldn't help but stand up and said. After seeing the attributes clearly, he couldn't wait to say to Fang Senyan:

"Lieutenant Colonel, if you're short of money, don't pawn it to the Space. Sell it directly to me for 200,000 Universal Points."

Another reserve lieutenant general snorted coldly and said contemptuously:

"Are you treating others as fools? A unique reward for the golden branch mission, and you want to get it for 200,000 Universal Points? How about this, Lieutenant Colonel, I'll offer 300,000 Universal Points! After you get this money, you can directly buy Repentance!"

"Idiot, there are only two uses left for this Ukiyo-e. I'll offer 350,000 Universal Points…"

Fang Senyan casually took out a dark gold item, also causing a small storm like a stone thrown into the water.

Chabar and his friend's faces became even more ugly. If Fang Senyan really sold it for 300,000 Universal Points, they really wouldn't have a chance at all.

Unexpectedly, although Fang Senyan looked very tempted, he finally sighed and shook his head, hesitatingly muttering:

"I… I, I'd better pawn it."

Fang Senyan's show of weakness was immediately noticed by many people. They immediately felt that this lieutenant colonel should have a very good relationship with the team leader, or he was like the accountant who managed the finances in the team. He was moving public funds to fight for a breath, and it was estimated that if he pawned it, he should be able to find a way to redeem it in time, but he would not be able to explain it if he sold it.

As a result, Fang Senyan pawned 100,000 Universal Points, reversing his previous fierce price increase, and then hesitated for a long time before continuing to follow Chabar with a price of 700,500 Universal Points.

Chabar gritted his teeth, his eyes already bloodshot, and took off a pair of silver story shoes and a dark gold ring, pawning them for 130,000 Universal Points. He looked at his old friend pleadingly, and the reserve lieutenant general also took off a dark gold equipment. This dark gold equipment was quite valuable, pawning it for 170,000, making up a full 300,000 Universal Points!

Then, based on Fang Senyan's follow-up, he directly added only 500 Universal Points to the original basis! Leaving the vast majority of Universal Points as liquid funds.

At this time, Chabar still held 300,000 Universal Points in liquid funds, which could be added to 1 million Universal Points at any time!

This was Chabar's psychological warfare. First, he accurately calculated Fang Senyan's upper limit of funds, and secondly, the full 300,000 points of liquid funds could exert great pressure and sufficient confidence, scaring Fang Senyan away.

At this time, everyone present almost believed that Fang Senyan was definitely powerless to turn the tide. Most of the reserve generals began to look at Fang Senyan with a contemptuous look of beating a drowning dog, and some even contemptuously said strange things like "hicks shouldn't come to play." Some regular army generals also frowned, feeling that they had lost face because of Fang Senyan's small lieutenant colonel.

Who knew that at this time, Fang Senyan sneered dismissively, stood up, looked around the audience arrogantly, seemingly enjoying this feeling, and then directly took off the Planetary High-Energy Mechanical Power Gloves from his hands, displayed the attributes, and said to the Space:

"Hey, how much money can I pawn these broken things for?"
