Invitation declined: Multiverse Mall is now open for business

Page 45In an instant, the person who called out the auction price attracted everyone’s attention.

Although everyone was well aware that 25 value points was definitely not the auction price for a special crystal, the fact that the bidder’s value increased by 4 value points in one bid indicated that the bidder was definitely not poor.

After this period of understanding, all customers are quite clear that people who can offer a large amount of value points are basically from the high-end world.

In the ordinary world, it is extremely difficult to obtain a large number of value points.

In the Myriad Realms Mall, the most common items for exchanging value points are cultivation techniques and medicinal herbs.

The more advanced the world, the higher the value of cultivation techniques and medicinal herbs.

In some ordinary worlds, there aren’t even cultivation techniques, and the medicinal herbs are just ordinary herbs. Not to mention thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, even hundred-year-old herbs are extremely rare.

However, 4 value points is not a small amount even for a martial arts grandmaster.

”emperor?”

The people quickly spotted the source of the voice.

He was dressed in a magnificent red dragon robe and appeared to be a middle-aged man around forty years old. He had fair skin and exuded the elegance of a scholar as well as a noble air.

However, the middle-aged man in the red dragon robe had a livid face and his eyes flashed with a cold light, as if he wanted to devour someone alive, his hatred reaching its extreme.

”What happened to this emperor? Did someone kill his parents?”

”Could it be that the martial arts manuals he possessed have been traded away by others?”

”Impossible! He can come up with 25 value points; he doesn’t look like a poor person at all.”

······

Everyone was slightly taken aback.

”26 million value points”.

”27 million value points”.

”28 million value points”.

·······

After a brief pause, the bidding resumed.

”30 million value points”.

Unlike the others who increased their bids by 10,000 value points at a time, the middle-aged man in the red dragon robe jumped by another 20,000 value points.

Although it’s not as many as the 2 value points last time, the current bid has reached 30 value points.

”Your Excellency is also an emperor, and so am I. I wonder if Your Excellency could give me some face?”

Just then, a middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent golden dragon robe, with a golden crown and an aura of dominance, stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and addressed the middle-aged man in the red dragon robe.

”I am Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. I wonder if you have heard of me?”

”I am about to launch my third campaign against Goguryeo. If we fail again this time, the world will likely descend into chaos.”

”If I could attain the peak of martial arts mastery, I could lead the charge and conquer Goguryeo, which would alleviate domestic conflicts and give me enough time to quell the internal strife.”

Emperor Yang of Sui bowed slightly to the middle-aged man in the red dragon robe, his tone sincere.

Name: Yang Guang.

[Identity: Emperor of the Sui Dynasty in the world of the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.]

It is obvious that Emperor Yang of Sui traded history books in the Myriad Realms Mall and learned about history.

According to history, he died in the fourteenth year of the Daye era. Now it has been ten years since the Daye era began, so there are still four years left.

If the Sui Dynasty were to fall, he would lose his status as emperor and become just an ordinary person in the Myriad Realms Mall.

”And Emperor Ming, please give me some face.”

Emperor Yang of Sui bowed slightly to Zhu Di, Emperor Chongzhen, and others as he spoke.

A martial arts grandmaster wouldn’t even look at a special crystal.

Even martial artists at the Grandmaster level cannot single-handedly govern a nation, and they are no match for him in the bidding.

As for martial artists at the Innate Realm and the Acquired Realm, they don’t even have the right to bid.

Among ordinary people, those who can contribute so much value are basically emperors of a country or cabinet members of a country in the technological age.

”Since the Sui Emperor has said so, then I will wait and see.”

Zhu Di’s expression shifted slightly, and he smiled faintly, saying...

”impossible!”

Meanwhile, a middle-aged man in a red dragon robe on the other side spoke loudly.

”Your Majesty, have you really let things get this tense?”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yang of Sui’s smile instantly froze.

He was already so humble, yet the other party didn’t give him any face at all.

Even if you really want to continue participating in the auction, don’t be so absolute and leave no room for embarrassment.

”According to historical timelines, I have four years left before the country falls and I die.”

”I will not back down.”

”31 million value points”.

Emperor Yang of Sui said coldly.

At this point, the Sui Dynasty was riddled with holes and possessed the strength of a peak martial arts master, which allowed him to ensure his safety.

As long as he survives, there is still hope.

”Even if it costs me my life, I will not back down.”

”35 million value points”.

The man in the red dragon robe, resembling a gambler, increased the value by another 4 points.

“Sir, if you give me the special crystal, I am willing to lend you the remaining value points temporarily.”

”You can auction other items; among the next items, there might be a treasure that grants immortality.”

Emperor Yang of Sui’s eyelids twitched repeatedly, and his tone softened somewhat as he spoke.

The other party’s bidding is too aggressive!

”Your Excellency is perhaps the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. Although I destroyed the Southern Dynasty, we are not from the same world, and there is no need for such deep hatred.”

”Sir, could you give me a reason? If you can convince me, I will not participate in the bidding.”

Emperor Yang of Sui seemed to remember something and said.

Before the Sui Dynasty unified China, the last dynasty to be destroyed was the Southern Dynasties.

Moreover, it was he, who was then the Prince of Jin, who led a large army to destroy them.

“I am not the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and I have no grudge against you.”

”As for the reason?”

”I am Emperor Zhao Ji of the Great Song Dynasty, and this year is the first year of the Jingkang era.”

Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing deep terror.

Name: Zhao Ji.

[Identity: Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty in the world of Water Margin.]

Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Guang, was speechless.

Zhao Ji?

The first year of the Jingkang era?

He had read history and knew that after the Sui Dynasty came the Tang Dynasty, and after the Tang Dynasty came the Song Dynasty.

And Zhao Ji is Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji.

The most famous event that happened to Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, was the Jingkang Incident.

In the first year of the Jingkang era, the Jin army captured Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty, and took Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, and Emperor Qinzong of Song, Zhao Huan, prisoner. Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, became a prisoner of the Jin state.

Everyone was stunned.

In other words, after Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, participated in the martial arts promotion event, the Jin army might have already besieged the city.

Based on historical timelines, Emperor Yang of Sui had at least four more years to prepare.

And what about Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji?

Does he have four months left?

Maybe not even four days will be left!

This is going to be a fight to the death!

Can’t afford it!

We can’t afford to mess with them!
