Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 687: Chapter 0687: Nether Energy (Additional Release Asking for Monthly Tickets)

Half a month later.

Su Lu met up with Xila and went to the auction house in Silver City.

For the construction of the Phantom Mecha, besides the mecha parts and mysterious elements, some special materials also needed to be collected with patience.

And it just so happened that this woman was quite eager to please, so Su Lu let her guide him, ready to comb through all the major markets in the entire Silver City.

‘If I can’t find them in the end, I’ll just have to buy them at a high price…

He, dressed in something resembling a black suit, held Xila’s hand by his side and walked into the auction house.

“This is the biggest auction house in the city, and it even has royal connections… It has everything. You won’t be disappointed.”

Xila said beside Su Lu.

“I hope so…”

Su Lu originally didn’t have much Lire, but he gained some from James, and Xila also promised to lend him some money. This woman was quite affluent.

Altogether, he had some capital.

The two of them came to a private room, looking at the podium below.

At this moment, the host on stage was introducing a mercury-like liquid: “Liquid metal from the Royal Mechanical University, the latest technology, one pound, starting price 35,000 Lire! Each raise must be no less than 1,000 Lire!”

“Huh?”

Su Lu was somewhat surprised: “I didn’t think that the product from our lab would have leaked out so quickly?”

“After all, it’s something that can be mass produced…” Xila said with a smile, “Thanks to you.”

“All credit goes to my mentor.”

Su Lu had no interest in this, and watched as the liquid metal was bid for at a high price, won by an unknown buyer.

He highly suspected that the other party was a merchant or a spy from the Sass Kingdom.

Even though the Beast Tide was causing the three countries to cooperate, that didn’t mean they weren’t clashing secretly.

Next up, he saw more treasures.

From the most fashionable jewelry, to new weapons, all kinds of beast pets, even human slaves, all appeared on stage one after another.

During which, he bought a few materials now and then.

“Up next… is a special crystal discovered in the mining area, it has very strange properties and has high collection and research value…”

At this moment, the host began introducing the next auction item.

It was a semi-transparent black crystal, which seemed to be constantly swallowing the light around it.

“It is not like any known material, but it possesses a very unique property, starting price… 100,000 lire.”

he host quoted a sky-high price.

Regardless, there were lots of mechanics or Extraordinary People who were interested in researching these strange things.

But the moment Su Lu saw the crystal, his eyes lit up: ‘A Nether Energy Crystal?’

This was a material he didn’t have much confidence in securing, but he didn’t expect it to be here.

‘I should get it, if I can get it… The Phantom Mecha will barely take shape.’

Thinking of this, Su Lu solemnly said to Xila: “Help me get it, I owe you one.”

“Alright!”

Xila smiled. Hadn’t she been accompanying Su Lu for so long just for this?

But the price of the crystal was quite expensive.

She manipulated the bidding panel: “100,000 lire.”

“101,000!”

Soon, competitors started to emerge.

Su Lu looked at the price of the material increasing and his brows slightly furrowed.

Because the price had exceeded the value of an unknown material, but someone in a private room kept persevering with their bids.

“I’m sorry…”

In the end, Xila’s voice even trembled: “I have no more money. And the family quota too…”

“It’s okay!”

Su Lu smiled, his eyes filled with coldness, and he touched his collar.

Ever since he created ‘Stream of Light’, he had been wearing this Guyver suit.

Moreover, he was not one to abide by regulations. Since he couldn’t get it through regular means, then he would have to use other methods.

Just then, the door to the private room rang.

Xila stood up, went to the door, muttered a few words, then returned looking somewhat strange: “The buyer of that crystal has arrived, he wants to speak with you…”

“Oh? Let them in.”

Su Lu was surprised by this turn of events and calmly replied.

“Is this Morphy?”

Soon, a woman wrapped in a red robe came in.

She looked to be only in her teens, but there was a maturity in her eyes that intoxicated people.

This beauty was not just the beauty of a woman, it was more like the beauty of nature. Even Xila, who was standing next to her, looked at her with a lost expression.

‘Charm magic?’

Su Lu furrowed his eyebrows and asked: “Yes, I am. And who might you be?”

“I’m Fralay!”

The young woman gracefully sat down. Her every move seemed to have received special training, giving off a very proper feeling.

“She’s a well-known socialite in the city, and she is also rumored to have royal connections!”

Xila whispered into Su Lu’s ear.

“So it’s Miss Fralay, can I ask what she wants from me?”

Su Lu asked.

Fralay frowned internally. This man seemed completely unaffected by her charm, causing her to doubt her ability.

Soon, she let out a clear, spring-like laugh: “I just heard that a genius emerged from Royal Mechanical University, and I wanted to get to know him… There is also a small gift for you.”

Fralay took out a payment slip: “Consider that crystal my gift.”

“Thank you.”

Su Lu took it over, not saying more than necessary.

This woman gave him an odd feeling, especially after he had heard Sha Lina’s description of the moderation faction of the Natural Society. He instinctively was more cautious of beautiful women who approached him.

“I have some connections in the Capital as well, if you need anything, feel free to look for me.”

Having sensed this distance, Fralay said a few words before handing him a pink business card…

The card had an address on it and was scented.

“Certainly.”

Su Lu smiled as he watched Fralay leave.

“This woman is very complicated… You need to be careful as she has many dealings with a lot of officials and mechanics.”

Once the door closed, Xila warned Su Lu with a cautious expression.

“Don’t worry, I know she’s complicated…”

Su Lu nodded silently, knowing that what he was thinking about was completely different from what Xila was thinking about.

‘This woman… Could she be from the moderation faction of the Natural Society approaching me? No… it might just be a contact…’

He touched his chin and laughed playfully: ‘In the future, if I continue to produce results one after another, maybe she will introduce another impeccable lady to me? Is this for scientists to get wives? I never thought that me, a perennially single dog before the crossing, would have such treatment.’

Although he was laughing, his smile gradually turned cold.

‘As long as they don’t disturb my mecha, everything is fine. Otherwise…’
