The Strongest Man in the Universe
Chapter 522



Soon Marlee thought of somewhere. Therefore, he said, “If you want to spend money quickly and hide your identity, there are places you can go. For ordinary people, every item there is a very high price, and the organizer will also keep the identity of the buyer."


David's eyes sparkled when he heard that. Isn't this what he needs?


Does every item have a sky-high price?


No matter what the sky-high price was, it was no problem for him. He could not wait to spend tens of trillions of Star Dollars at once to directly increase his strength to the Saint Realm. Moreover, the organizer will also keep the identity of the buyer secret?


That's what David wanted.


Therefore, he hastily asked excitedly, “Marlee, tell me, where is it?”


“Auction held by big trading company.” replied Marlee.


'Auction?' David was a little confused.


When he was on Earth, he participated in auctions, and they usually auctioned off some antique calligraphy and paintings, but the advantages were very limited. Common objects range from a few million to tens of millions. Even if he found an extremely rare antique, it would cost only a few hundred million.


Even if David bought everything in this auction, it would cost him at most billions. He could only earn dozens of fancy points, which was not very useful to David. It would be better to buy a few sets of yard houses in the Capital only.


After David participated in the auction once, he was never interested again. Although this was not Earth but Star Kingdom, the nature of the auction should be similar. They will display a product, then everyone will bid it together. In the end, the highest bidder will win.


However, he did not know what the auction item was and whether it was valuable. Every time David buys an item, the system will give a reasonable price. Even if he bought it at a price beyond the set price, he could only earn luxury points that matched the price the system gave.


“Marlee, are the items at the auction valuable? I have participated in such a thing before, but the results were not very good. The items were very ordinary and not very valuable." asked David.


“You should have participated in the regular auction earlier, right? I'm not talking about the type you're participating in, but the auctions held by major trading firms. The difference between the two is miles away. It's no exaggeration to say that in a large auction of this kind, the value of one item would exceed the total sales of a regular auction." Marlee explained.


'The value of any item is equivalent to the total of ordinary auction sales?' David was excited.


This kind of auction was made especially for him. After the auction, the luxurious points obtained might be able to directly increase his strength to the Sovereign Rank.


“Marlee, when will such a big auction be held? I want to participate.” said David excitedly.


"This kind of auction is hard to come by. I don't know when it will be held. Generally it will only occur when there is an event held by a trading company. After all, every item in the auction would be a treasure of heaven and earth. They were rare even in the Star Kingdom so not everyone could participate. The company will send you an invitation first. Only invited people can participate while others cannot enter."


"So so!" David thought for a moment and continued, “Marlee, let's go to the Sacred Central Continent first! When we arrive, we will find out when there will be a big auction. If we don't have an invitation, we can buy it. I'm sure as long as I can offer a reasonable price, I can definitely afford it."


"okay! Then let's wait until we arrive at the Central Sacred Continent. The most important thing right now is to continue on our journey."


“Come down and see how Peggy is doing. Maybe he's up."


"It's still early! He won't wake up until he's asleep at least a day's a night."


“Marlee, what did you use her for? It wouldn't harm him, would it? Besides, he's still very young."


“Peggy is my daughter, so why are you more worried about her than I am?”


“Uh... I just think he's a nice and funny boy."


“Do not worry! She was my daughter, so how could I possibly hurt her? I just put him to sleep. That


won't hurt him.”


"Alright then.”


After that, the merchant ship did not have any accidents. As he slowly approached the wormhole entrance, David and the others also began to meet with other merchant ships, as well as the patrol team sent by the Sacred Continent Center.


As they got closer, they saw more and more merchant ships gathering in various places around Star Kingdom. There were even some gigantic merchant ships that were tens or even hundreds of times larger in size than the merchant ships David and the others boarded. You can imagine how many items they carry in one trip.


This kind of giant merchant ship would carry the logo of the troops behind it. Some large families, and some large sects. However, the majority of them were trading houses. They were the main trading power of the Central Sacred Continent.


The small galaxy where Marlee was located would basically sell goods to this kind of merchant ship. After they bought the goods at a cheap price, they would ship them to the Central Sacred Continent and sell them at a high price to pocket the difference.


One should not underestimate the price difference. That would be several times or even tens of times the cost of the item. After all, no one would be willing to risk their lives to transport goods over such a long distance if the profits were not high.


If the two groups of space pirates Marlee and the others encountered a merchant ship of this level, they would not even dare to touch it. In the end, they could only stay away obediently. If an ordinary space pirate wanted to take down this gigantic merchant ship, they would only end up bad. Soon, merchant ships arrived in a crowded area.


Many merchant ships and warships were parked here in an orderly manner. As soon as the merchant ship arrived, a small ship bearing the word 'Central immediately approached them. Marlee orders the merchant ship's defenses to be disarmed, then brings Fraser and some Infinity Rankers to meet them on the merchant ship's roof.


The small ship was parked directly on the roof of the merchant ship. Two men and one woman came down from above. The one leading was a middle-aged man. Behind him was a young man and a young woman, both of whom had outstanding looks. One could tell they were amazing just from a glance. All three wore a white trench coat, with the inscription 'Central' printed on the chest and back. They were the staff of the Central Sacred Continent.


"Where are you guys from?" The middle-aged man asked as soon as he got off the ship.


"Sir, we're from Green Apollo" Marlee replied respectfully.


"Find out where Green Apollo is," the middle-aged man told the two people behind him.


“Yes, Captain!" The two young men immediately opened the three-dimensional image and quickly looked for it.


After a while, the young lady was the first to say, “Captain, I found her. The Green Apollo is a small galaxy 180,000 cosmic kilometers away."


"180000 cosmic kilometers?” The middle-aged man was surprised.


'They're from a very far place?' He looked at Marlee.


'How could an Infinity Ranker Peak dare to travel 180,000 cosmic kilometers with a cargo of goods?


Was he not afraid of meeting the space pirates?


The main point was that they even arrived safely.


It's unbelievable. They're very lucky. What a bunch of crazy people who value money but not their lives.'


David is still in the room at the moment and is not following Marlee. This was why the middle-aged man was so shocked. If David were here, he would be their Eternal companion, and traveling the cosmic 180,000 kilometers was nothing.


“You must have suffered so much after coming from such a far away place.” The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed.


He understood the people from these small places very well. They will not get many sales to the big trading companies that come to buy from them. If others were to send items to the Central Sacred Continent and sell them, their profits would be dozens of times more.


If they are transporting goods themselves, they may have an accident at any time. By doing so, they would not only lose items but also their lives. It was a typical example of losing one's wealth and life.


Therefore, most of them were still willing to sell to large trading companies. It will be cheaper, but more importantly, there will be no risk! However, there were still very few people who had personally delivered items to the Central Sacred Continent for sale after making up for the hardships and dangers faced along the way.


“Master, the trip was not important, the important thing is the results and the fact that we succeeded.” Marlee said with a smile.


The middle-aged man also contracted it when he saw the smile on Marlee's face. This woman is pretty good! She was among his dream women. Needless to say, she is more stunning than most women and she is included in a small percentage sitting at the top of the pyramid.


Besides, he was also quite brave. He was only a peak Infinity Ranker, but he covered a cosmic 180,000 kilometers with a loaded ship. The only drawback was that his strength was too low.


He was only a Peak Infinity Ranker and not even an Eternal. His life will be too short. Moreover, there was a high chance that he was married and had children at this age. However, this did not affect the middle-aged man's appreciation of Marlee.


“Ha ha ha! The journey is not important, the outcome is important. Yes, you have succeeded. Now that you're here, no one dares to make things difficult for you anymore." the middle-aged man also laughed and said.


"Thank you Sir!"


"Thank you back! It makes sense that you need to pay a certain fee to use the wormhole here, but since you have covered the 180,000 kilometer cosmic distance and it is a tedious journey, I'll waive the fee for you. Here's your number. When your turn arrives, you can use the wormhole to head straight for the Central Sacred Continent." After he finished speaking, the middle-aged man took out a token from his pocket and handed it to Marlee.


Marlee quickly took the token with both hands and looked at it. The number 782 is written on it. In other words, her merchant ship was the 782nd ship in line. He had to wait for the 781 ships in front of him before his trading ship turn.


“Thank you, Tuan” Marlee bowed and thanked the middle-aged man.


"I need to say you don't have to be so polite. What's yourname?" The middle-aged man asked.


“Master, my name is Marlee Jung.”


“So, Miss Jung. I still need to take care of some business so I'll go first. If you need anything, you can come to me. My name is Remy Banks." Remy turned around and left.


The two young men quickly followed behind him.


"Goodbye, Mr. Remy!" Marlee said as she bowed.


“Goodbye, Mr Remy!" The others followed.


They left on a small boat. They still had to go to the next merchant ship to charge a fee and issue a number. Marlee and the others also returned to the control room. The merchant ship continued to move forward.


After docking next to another merchant ship, they restarted their defense system to prevent anyone from entering. They were waiting to enter the wormhole to go to the Sacred Central Continent.


In reality, a wormhole is a channel created using the dimensional characteristics of space. The higher the spatial dimension, the closer the distance between the two points. David can travel in four-dimensional space, which is naturally much faster than three-dimensional space


However, wormholes are a stable way to travel through high-dimensional spaces for a variety of vehicles. The difference between the wormhole and the way David and the other Eternals traveled was that it was already more purposeful.


It was a straight path between two points and there would be no accidents or irregularities while inside. One can only enter at a certain point and exit at a certain point, and one cannot go down in the middle of the road.


On the other hand, Eternals and the higher ones can reroute them at will after they tear apart space to travel into space above three dimensions. That's the difference between the two


Many wormholes do not exist in four-dimensional space. For example, the wormhole that David and the others entered was now built directly in six-dimensional space. It must have been a lot faster than David traveling in four-dimensional space.


However, it would take a lot of time and effort to create a wormhole. Except for the great powers, no ordinary power could build it. Therefore, it makes sense for them to charge a certain amount of fees.
