Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 558 - 393: Rare Dusk Robe, Summoning Massive Profits!

Now with the one and a half pounds of Ember Ore he had previously purchased, plus this 100 grams of negative energy ore essence, Fang Zhou could try to forge two pieces of New Star Equipment.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Perhaps each increase in combat power seemed insignificant in isolation. But as all these elements accumulated, a change in quantity would eventually lead to a change in quality, giving him terrifying combat power that Professionals of the same level could only look up to in awe.

After nearly 10 more rounds of auctions, the event gradually reached its climax, and the moment Fang Zhou had been eagerly awaiting finally arrived.

"Alright, next up is the thirteenth item of the auction."

The female auctioneer on stage cleared her throat, her tone tinged with excitement. "This is a Skeleton Warhorse Rein, with a starting price of 400 contribution points!"

She launched into a grand introduction, though her explanation was unnecessary as many students’ eyes were already gleaming. Thanks to the vigorous promotion by Senior Li Buyun at Fang Zhou’s request, these students had all heard about the effects and practicality of the Skeleton Warhorse Reins.

For Black Iron and even Bronze Tier Professionals, this Skeleton Warhorse Rein was undoubtedly an extremely valuable vehicle-type Marvel. It not only significantly increased movement speed but also provided additional Defense and support capabilities in certain situations.

"I am determined to get this Skeleton Warhorse Rein, and no one can stop me! 500 contribution points!" One anxious student was clearly impatient, blurting out a rather high price.

This student’s words immediately sparked discontent among some of the senior students.

"Young people are so impulsive. I’ll offer 550 contribution points." A steady voice called out, evidently a response from a senior student.

"600 points," a Bronze Tier Professional on the other side immediately followed.

"700 points!" the first young student shouted, raising the price to a shocking amount. The entire auction hall was instantly abuzz.

The audience erupted in discussion. Some were amazed by the young man’s audacity, while others questioned his motives.

"What a big spender, dropping 700 contribution points on a mount-type Marvel," someone murmured.

"He’s the captain of the second-year War God Squad," another student explained, a hint of envy in their tone. "He’s about to head out on a mission and needs a reliable and durable mount. While the market has various mount-related Marvels, the Skeleton Warhorse is undoubtedly more practical in terms of cost-effectiveness, being an undead creature."

Many people sighed in response, and some of the ordinary Combat Professionals looked bitter. They had initially hoped for the Skeleton Warhorse Rein and wanted to give it a try, but the young man’s aggressive bidding knocked them out before they could even place a bid. Their expressions showed disappointment, but even more so, helplessness. After all, 700 contribution points was no small sum for them.

Even the female auctioneer on stage looked surprised. Although the Skeleton Warhorse Rein was very practical, it was still just a White-grade, Ordinary-quality Marvel. It couldn’t provide much help in direct combat and primarily served as an efficient tool for mobility. No one had expected a student to bid the price straight up to 700 contribution points.

"These newcomers are really wealthy," a senior student sighed, a hint of helplessness in his tone. He didn’t bid again.

Ultimately, the Skeleton Warhorse Rein sold for 700 contribution points.

Even after deducting the necessary auction fees, Fang Zhou made a considerable profit. This final price was much higher than the 500 contribution points he had mentally set as his expectation. The outrageous profits an Alchemist could make were thus evident.

The auction continued, moving through the fourteenth item, the fifteenth, the sixteenth... the eighteenth... all the way to the twenty-eighth.

Wave after wave of intense bidding kept the atmosphere lively, leaving many attendees dazzled. After all, this auction catered to Professionals from the Apprentice, Black Iron, and even Bronze Tiers. Each item sparked varying degrees of bidding and discussion.

Take the Skeleton Warhorse Rein that Fang Zhou put up for auction, for example. As a White-grade, Ordinary-quality Marvel, it was very useful for Black Iron Tier Professionals, but its effects were merely average for those at the Bronze Tier. The later stages of the auction now featured Bronze Tier Cultivation Resources or Equipment-type Marvels. At this point, even someone as wealthy as Fang Zhou could only be a silent spectator.

Just when Fang Zhou was starting to feel a bit bored, the final, forty-ninth item appeared on stage.

"This is the grand finale treasure of this auction: a damaged Negative Energy Magic Robe.

"According to our appraisal, it was once a piece of Blue-grade, Fine-quality Equipment for Magic Professionals. However, it was severely damaged in battle. It can now only exert the effects of a Green-grade, Excellent-quality Magic Robe."

The female auctioneer paused, glanced around the venue, and added, "This robe was not crafted by us Blue Star People; it was created using a forging method vastly different from our own. Therefore, a method to repair it has not yet been found."

Her words undoubtedly piqued everyone’s curiosity.

The venue immediately fell silent, all eyes focused on the damaged robe.

Ever since the Era of Myth began, humanity had been desperate to reuse every available resource, squeezing out its last drop of potential. Whether it be ores, herbs, or Equipment, no valuable resource was ever wasted lightly.
