Chapter 424: Hoolay Got Sold Out! Holy Sh*t, Who Could Be That Ruthless?!
Inside the spaceship.
Kafka was sitting lazily in the pilot's seat.
Holding a glass of red wine in her hand.
The hull's transparency function was activated.
Allowing her to admire the cosmic scenery outside the ship in a full 360-degree view.
Ahead.
A glowing planet was her destination.
A faint curve lingered at the corner of her mouth.
It seemed that whatever was about to happen would be quite interesting to her.
"Buzz!"
Silver Wolf's holographic projection appeared in the cabin.
Silver Wolf confirmed something via the miniature computer worn on her wrist.
She sighed.
"I say, Kafka, you actually really came to this place?"
"It's interesting, isn't it?"
Kafka placed the wine glass on the windowsill.
The red wine in the glass rippled slightly.
Indicating that the ship was preparing to dock at the planet's boarding point.
"Are you sure that thing can be put up for sale?" Silver Wolf asked again.
"The auctions here are different from other places."
"Free trade… no questions about the source, no questions about the origin."
"Every guest who comes to participate might sell items that are completely unexpected."
"Here, there is only price and bidding."
As she spoke.
Kafka stood up from her seat.
Clearly.
She didn't intend to waste any time.
Once she disembarked.
She planned to start the auction immediately.
"Everything else is forbidden."
"So, don't worry about me."
Silver Wolf showed a look of doubt.
Such an expression was rare on her face.
It wasn't that she was worried about Kafka.
But rather because the item Kafka wanted to auction was a bit too special!
It involved content from "Honkai: Star Rail".
Thus, Silver Wolf became quite invested.
Soon.
The spaceship finished docking.
Kafka stepped out of the cabin.
Silver Wolf's projection followed her out.
The beings who came here to participate in trades were bizarre and varied.
Forget projections.
Any form of life was possible.
A series of procedures were followed step by step.
Before arriving at the auction site.
A cybernetic entity needed to confirm the item Kafka had brought for trade.
Kafka opened her right hand.
A palm-sized black box appeared.
The cybernetic entity performed a careful scanning confirmation.
At first, it thought this black box was some kind of treasure.
But once it saw the thing sealed inside.
It froze!
Then.
A look of obvious shock appeared on its mechanical face!
"This is…!"
"The Warhead of the Borisin, Hoolay?"
"My apologies, please… please wait a moment!"
"Mm-hmm."
Soon.
Three appraisers who looked more professional arrived.
After a series of operations.
They confirmed the pricing for this item!
"Miss, the significance of this lot is extraordinary."
"Our final reference value is… 1 billion!"
"Of course, this is only the starting price; there is the possibility of it reaching a higher value later."
Kafka nodded.
She was reasonably satisfied with this result.
Her own bounty was only 10 billion, after all.
"Additionally, due to the special nature of this lot, we have specifically applied for priority bidding rights for you."
"This way, it can appear at the auction immediately."
"Would you be willing to accept?"
Kafka smiled slightly.
"That would be for the best."
"Very well, here is your identification code. You may now proceed to the venue to witness the bidding process of your lot."
Heading toward the VIP passage.
Silver Wolf still followed beside her.
At this moment, she finally couldn't hold it in.
She muttered, "Isn't this a bit much…"
"Hoolay is the boss of this version!"
"Isn't this a bit too blatant?"
"Does this count as disrupting Feathered Spirit's plot?"
If it were anything else, it wouldn't matter.
Silver Wolf would have loved for things to blow up and become more interesting.
But the game "Honkai: Star Rail".
Silver Wolf respected it immensely.
It held an extraordinary status in her heart.
Therefore, this behavior of Kafka's.
In Silver Wolf's eyes, it was even a bit excessive.
Of course.
Silver Wolf was actually conflicted.
She was also somewhat looking forward to seeing the upcoming scene!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have hesitated until now to speak up.
"I guess… Feathered Spirit won't care."
"Maybe he'll even be happy to see such a situation."
"Fine, whatever you say."
Silver Wolf let out a long breath.
In the end, she compromised.
A flicker of excitement then appeared in her eyes!
Right now, "Honkai: Star Rail" was releasing its latest plot!
Yet Hoolay, the BOSS, was to be auctioned off as a lot at the same time!
This gap!
This contrast!
This irony!
It was simply too interesting!
She was almost impatient to see the expressions on those people's faces!
At the venue.
There were many people participating in the auction.
And there were all sorts of life forms.
Many were wearing disguises.
It was estimated that more than half of the people were on the Interastral Peace Corporation's wanted list.
But that didn't stop everyone from sitting together.
Participating in the bidding of item after item.
At this moment.
What was being auctioned was a black-gold long spear.
The shaft of the spear was somewhat mottled.
According to the host's introduction.
Holding this spear could unleash the power of the Geo element.
But the starting price was only 1 million credits.
The people present were disinterested.
Many were looking at their own screens, following the plot of "Honkai: Star Rail".
They didn't even bother to glance at this item.
Unsurprisingly.
This item failed to sell.
Kafka found a spot to sit down.
Beside her.
Some dissatisfied voices drifted over.
"~ The lots this time are too garbage! It's a complete waste of time!"
"The only thing worth looking at was that Phase Fire."
"If I'd known this batch of goods was so trashy, I might as well have gone to the Exalting Sanctum of the Luofu to watch the livestream of 'Honkai: Star Rail'."
"True, let's leave now, there's still time."
The venue became noisy for a moment.
Clearly.
There were quite a few people with such thoughts.
Just then!
The host suddenly raised his pitch by several tones!
His voice even trembled slightly!
It seemed he had just received some news that left him shocked!
"Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends!"
"The next lot to be listed is simply a bombshell; when I first received the news, I even doubted if something was wrong with my ears!"
"But after testing by our professional staff—"
"It is real!"
"It has truly appeared at our auction venue!"
The host's introduction successfully made some of the people who were preparing to leave stay.
They remained with their last bit of patience and curiosity.
If it was as mediocre as the previous lots…
It was estimated that more than half of the buyers would vanish from the scene.
"Without further ado!"
"This lot is—"
"The Borisin Warhead, HOOLAY!!!"
!!!???
As soon as these words were spoken.
The venue fell silent for two seconds!
Then.
The entire crowd erupted!
Regardless of whether they had planned to leave just now, everyone stood up!
Doubting if their ears or eyes were malfunctioning!
Subconsciously wanting to get closer.
To see clearly the object on the stage!
"Huh?"
"Did I hear that right?"
"Isn't that the BOSS from 'Star Rail'? How did he end up at this auction venue!"
"I was just watching the plot! In the story, Hoolay is dominating, arrogant, and incredibly badass! And now you're telling me he's being auctioned as a commodity?"
"This can't be sold!"
"No! I'm a bit confused right now! Isn't Hoolay locked in the Shackling Prison? How could he be sold here?"
"Damn, who is this ruthless!"
"Holy crap! This is the most ridiculous item I've seen in this Amber Era!"
"Are you sure this is the real Borisin Warhead, Hoolay!?"
