After leaving the small boat, Gu Xi followed the direction provided by Fang Kang and found the location of the auction house near the Anomalous Fire Dragon Cave.

When he first arrived, Gu Xi thought the auction house here would be a gigantic auction hall, often hearing people constantly hammering away inside.

But once he got here, Gu Xi realized he had overthought it.

Tents were stacked upon tents here, looking like a slum.

As soon as Gu Xi entered, small, red-skinned creatures quickly ran up to him.

”For the sake of balance, sir, if you have anything you want to auction, you can come to our Balanced Auction House. We have branches in all 36 cities of the Red Flame Empire, whatever you want, we can handle it.”

”For the sake of balance, sir, come to our auction house. We are the largest auction house in the Anomalous Fire Dragon Cave, with sufficient capital.”

”Come to our auction house, sir. We can pay cash directly...”

The auction house in front of him seemed off. If Fang Kang hadn’t recommended this place, Gu Xi wouldn’t have come.

Seeing those surrounding him, Gu Xi even took a step back.

At this moment, an even smaller red-skinned creature was jumping non-stop over there.

”Sir, sir, look here. We have a large number of corpses, sir. Do you need a large number of corpses?”

Gu Xi turned his head to look at the creature and noticed it wore a tall top hat.

Wearing a dark red outfit, it seemed different from the others.

Gu Xi glanced at him, ”Besides corpses, what else do you have to offer?”

”Sir, our family is known for its Luck. Every time, we are very lucky to find what we want.

We can say that in our auction house, cross-shipment is faster than others.”

When he said this, the others all turned their heads.

They all understood that in other aspects they could compete, but in terms of luck, they truly couldn’t compare to him.

”Okay, let’s go to your auction house and have a look.”

Gu Xi now had the mindset of being there anyway.

After all, he had a lot of architectural design plans he didn’t need to sell.

If he could exchange them for what he needed, that would naturally be the best.

Upon hearing Gu Xi’s words, the little fellow immediately said, ”Guest, this way. Our family is called the Red Five-leaf Clover, specializing in Luck.

I’ll lend you our family’s good fortune right now, you can definitely exchange for good things in our auction house.”

Listening to this little guy, Gu Xi just smiled.

Good fortune?

As a Player, Gu Xi believed in the Luck Skill but didn’t really believe in good fortune.

He wasn’t the type to rely on luck; he had reached this point through his own hard work, step by step.

This time he went to the Red Five-leaf Clover Auction House mainly because they had a large number of corpses.

As for luck, Gu Xi really didn’t believe much in it.

But as soon as Gu Xi arrived at the Red Five-leaf Clover Auction House, he realized his thinking was a bit too narrow.

The Red Five-leaf Clover Auction House in front of him looked like a small tent, barely two meters high, with ordinary wooden boards covering the ground. An auctioneer stood on a box with no customers in front.

When he saw Gu Xi, the auctioneer was still introducing an item he had just brought out for auction.

”Come, take a look. This is a component found in the New Dara World, do you see it? It’s a high-tech product, with five fingers that can transform into five different weapons and tools.

The most important thing is, this is the highest technology of the New Dara World embodied; as long as there’s enough energy, the right hand can break through any kind of Defense.

Come take a look, this item can be used personally, or given to subordinates. If not, it can be installed elsewhere too.

The seller urgently needs to sell it at a very low price, only three hundred Flame Energy is needed to take it away.

Is there anyone interested?”

Seeing this situation, Gu Xi couldn’t help but pause.

At this time, he more or less believed that the Red Five-leaf Clover Auction House was a lucky place.

At a glance, Gu Xi recognized that what the auctioneer was holding was a temporary mission component required by the Sealed Power.

And it was the right-hand component that he was missing.

Gu Xi knew very well that he was only temporarily in this world, his identity had not been discovered.

Even if it was discovered, no one would target his mission.

Encountering this task item at this time, it seemed that luck was indeed in his favor.

Gu Xi raised his hand, ”I’ll take this item.”

As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, the auctioneer turned to look at him.

”Alright, this guest has bid, three hundred Flame Energy, is there anyone with a higher offer?

Is there anyone, starting the countdown now, three, two, one!

Congratulations to this guest, you’ve obtained this green-quality right-hand component.”

The auctioneer pointed at Gu Xi, and a red Balance Scale appeared in front of him.

On one side of the Balance Scale was the right-hand arm just auctioned, while the other side was empty.

Gu Xi glanced at the Balance Scale and realized that this world indeed emphasized balance everywhere.

Even in auctions, there was a focus on balance here.

Gu Xi didn’t have Flame Energy, but he had plenty of Negative Energy.

He threw the Negative Energy onto the other side of the Balance Scale, and Gu Xi found that Negative Energy and Flame Energy were exchanged at a 1.1 to 1 ratio.

A total of 330 points of Negative Energy were taken from Gu Xi, and only then was the right hand delivered.

Fortunately, the auction house didn’t con Gu Xi.

The item provided was absolutely fine.

At least a message popped up in front of Gu Xi.

[Your temporary mission: Sealed Power encountered a change, you found a right-hand component suitable for the mission requirement.]

[Mission Requirement: Find seven sealed components (5/7), assemble, and defeat the assembly (0/1)]

Looking at the popped-up information, Gu Xi couldn’t help but sigh.

”Only two more pieces are needed, finally, it’s almost done.”

At this moment, the auctioneer on stage was promoting another item.

However, this time the item for sale wasn’t what Gu Xi wanted.

Gu Xi didn’t look further.

But Gu Xi never expected, even though there was no one around, the auctioneer was saying.

”Alright, this guest has bid, seven hundred Flame Energy. Is there anyone with a higher price, good, seven hundred ten...

Is there anyone, is there anyone, the latest bid, seven hundred thirty...”

Watching the auctioneer’s extremely excited expression, Gu Xi hesitated.

Who’s buying the item?
