Chapter 895: A serious businessman who hopes to make money through harmony, hurry up to raise money
Lorelai enjoyed the gazes of the crowd and stood straight in front of Ramon and Naga.
"Mr. Slytherin means that those who believe that this Infinity Stone is genuine can participate in the auction, and those who think it is a fake can just watch."
puff!
The collector suddenly spit out a mouthful of wine, and couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, "Interesting, very interesting, you are much more interesting than I thought."
The thought body shrugged, "I just don't want to waste everyone's time, and it can also better prevent some people with bad intentions from fanning the flames."
“That…” Gao Tianzun raised his right hand and said with interest, “I have a small question, which is also a question for all of us.
What are you going to do if we don’t inspect the goods and we don’t participate in the auction? "
"Do you think this real raw stone is fake?" asked the body of thought with a smile.
Gao Tianzun laughed awkwardly. Everyone present knew that the Infinity Stones were real, and this was tacitly acknowledged by everyone.
But this does not prevent them from wanting to take advantage or watching the fun.
"Answer it, don't mind?"
"I don't mind." The Thought Body smiled faintly, and then turned his attention to Nova Supreme, "Nova Supreme knows whether this Infinity Stone is real or fake.
If everyone here does not participate in the auction, I believe Xandar will be very happy to buy an Infinity Stone for one trillion. After all, this price is no different from picking it up for free.
And once Xandar makes an offer, the Kree will definitely not turn a blind eye.
After all, for both of them, there are some things that one of them can live without, but the other person must not have either.”
“Hiss!” Gao Tianzun took a breath of cold air exaggeratedly, “Really… mean!”
Slytherin has already taken possession of Xandar and Kree. When these two advanced civilizations appear at the auction at the same time, they are bound to be fleeced.
"You can't say that, I have no choice but to do this!
I would like to make money through harmony, but the cold universe doesn't seem to allow it.
And I don’t need to remind you of the value of the Infinity Stones! No matter how much you ask, it’s a bargain.”
Gao Tianzun was stunned for a moment, then nodded blankly, "There is some truth in this."
"What if no one makes an offer?" Nova Supreme glanced at Ronan with a serious expression, "Xandar may not participate in this gamble."
The thought body smiled slightly and turned to look at Yak who was standing beside him.
Yak understood instantly, and rich dark energy emerged from his hands, and then he combined them into one and blasted into the air.
The energy continued to compress and soon broke through the space barrier, creating an extremely irregular crack in the air. The crack was full of space turbulence that was ready to devour anyone, and no one knew where it led to.
Everyone present stared at this scene in a daze, until a few seconds later when Yak withdrew the magic and the space returned to calm, and they barely came to their senses.
Those who can participate in this auction are all knowledgeable, and most of them have seen space cracks.
But it is either opened by technological energy or by magic like a portal. It is possible to directly break through space with powerful energy like this, but it is really rare.
At this moment, many people became more wary of the body of thought.
Some weaker civilizations are especially awed, because the strength they have displayed at this stage is enough to pose a threat to their entire civilization.
"As you can see, if no one bids, this reality stone will be thrown into the space crack. As for who will get it, I don't care." The thought body said casually, "After all, this thing is always attractive to ambitious people. I am a serious businessman who hopes to make money in harmony. I don't want to cause trouble for myself.
For everyone here, the actual rough stone means the end of this auction, but for me, selling the first four lots is already a success.
As for the last one...I don't care. It depends on whether everyone here is willing to accept the uncertainty.
Because this reality stone may appear in any corner of the universe, or perhaps in some remote corner that no one can find for billions of years."
Hearing this, Thanos' heart skipped a beat.
He has a firm enough belief in his divine plan to wipe out half of all life and reduce the burden on the universe, and the six Infinity Stones are a shortcut to achieving his ideal.
But if it takes billions of years to find an Infinity Stone, it would be better for him to kill them one planet at a time!
What's more, although Titans have long lives, they cannot reach billions of years.
To put it bluntly, if the real stone was thrown into the space crack, his "grand plan" would be seriously affected, and his business might even collapse halfway.
Click!
Thanos accidentally crushed a corner of the table, "Ebony Maw."
"Master, what do you want?
If you want to fight, I am willing to..."
"How much money did we bring?"
Ebony Maw's expression froze, and he said with a bit of embarrassment, "About one hundred trillion."
"Try to bid!" Thanos said with some frustration, "It will give you some sense of participation."
"But Master, with our financial resources, we may not be able to compete."
“I always feel unwilling if I don’t try.”
"Perhaps...it will fall into the hands of some advanced civilization." The thought body continued, "Xandar, Kree, Sovereign, Asgard, etc., all are possible."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the representatives of the advanced civilizations present became particularly interesting.
As I said, you can do without it, but your enemies must not have it, otherwise you will be in big trouble.
"Dear guests," Lorelai said to everyone with a gentle smile, "The auction of Infinity Stones is an unprecedented event in the universe.
In order to show respect for the Infinity Stones, this auction, and every guest, Mr. Slytherin decided to give everyone some time to think.
Ten minutes, the auction will continue in ten minutes, please be ready."
As soon as the words fell, the scene was suddenly in an uproar.
Some people felt puzzled, but some people realized something and their faces changed drastically.
Ten minutes to think? Are you kidding me? Think for nothing!
This is clearly a time to raise money. Slytherin wants them to raise the most money in the shortest time possible to participate in the auction.
......
"Slytherin is really honest." Sif said with a strange look, "This auction was within his calculations from beginning to end.
All forces are here, some friendly, some hostile. Now they have to make their best bids whether they like it or not. It is even possible for them to unite.
It doesn't matter whether I can get the Reality Stone or not. What matters is that I can't let the enemy get it. The final price will definitely be far higher than the auction reserve price."
"That's just the first level." Aaron said calmly, "In fact, Slytherin has already determined the buyer. This Infinity Stone will only end up in the hands of someone who stands at a neutral perspective."
Sif's pupils slightly dilated, and a possibility suddenly emerged in her mind, "What do you mean?"
"This is not what I meant, but if we follow the current process, it will eventually become everyone's opinion."
"Hush! What a talent!" Sif couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, "She actually thought of using this method to process the Infinity Stones."
"What method?" Thor asked in confusion.
“If we divide everyone present into camps, they can be roughly divided into good, evil, and neutral.
Good and evil will compete for the real rough stone, because they are afraid that the real rough stone will bring threats to them, so the price can only be raised continuously.
When their financial resources can no longer support them, the neutral party is their hope, because the neutral party will not abuse the power of the Infinity Stones, and both good and evil can barely accept this not-so-bad ending. "
"In other words, the neutral party is most likely to obtain the Reality Stone?" Thor thought for a moment, turning his head to glance at the other people on the third floor, "Who are the neutral parties?"
"The Collector, the Supreme Being, the Observer, Asgard, the God..."
"Asgard can withdraw now." Thor interrupted casually, "We don't have any money."
"The other neutral parties...are their financial resources sufficient?" Volstagg asked. "They are competing with the other two camps!"
"There should be no problem." Sif said unconfidently, "The Collector and the High Lord are both elders of the universe, and no one knows how long they have lived.
Moreover, they all have their own industries and territories, and the accumulated wealth is absolutely astronomical. It is not impossible for them to buy a small galaxy.
As for the Observers... they wander the universe, but they are very mysterious, and their financial resources are probably not less than those of the Elders of the Universe."
"But this is just your guess. If their financial strength is not enough to overwhelm the other two camps, they might fight."
"No." Aaron shook his head slowly and said thoughtfully: "We can all consider this problem, can't Slytherin have not thought of it?
Don't forget that he is the organizer of this auction. If I were him, I would definitely not mind writing an IOU to a neutral party."
"Write an IOU?" Thor's face twitched. "No, is it still possible to play like this?"
"Why not? There are 100,000 people in the entire venue, and there must be hundreds of people with unknown identities among them!
Anyone who expresses willingness to lend money, who knows if it might be someone arranged by Slytherin in advance!
In this way, the problem of the neutral party's lack of financial resources is solved. It is nothing more than transferring money from one hand to the other. Moreover, with the relationship of the creditor, their network of contacts is also opened up. "
Saul: ...
"This is too shameless!"
Aaron nodded without comment. The idea of the thought body was indeed a bit damaging, but it could maximize the benefits.
The reality stone will be kept by a neutral party, which is tacitly agreed by both the good and evil camps.
Even if the whole universe knew that the Infinity Stones were in that person's hands, no one would dare to snatch them easily, which provided an extra layer of security.
......
"What a loss! What a loss!" Loki looked at the various forces that quickly communicated and formed an alliance, and couldn't help but reveal a gloating smile on his face, "I'm afraid the Infinity Stones will be sold at an unprecedented sky-high price."
"Who said it wasn't! This wave is coming for us!"
Gao Tianzun was also very excited. Over the long years, only duels could arouse his interest, but he did not expect that this auction would be much more exciting and interesting than the blood-boiling life-and-death battle.
"Master, are you ready to spend a fortune?" Loki grinned and said, "Based on the current situation, the Infinity Stones are not something that can be bought with just one or two trillion.
Even you will bleed profusely!"
"Money is not a problem." Gao Tianzun waved his hand indifferently, "As long as you live long enough, you will find that money is just a number, and it is completely insignificant compared to fun.
Just for the fun he brought me today, it's worth any amount of money."
"That's an exaggeration!"
"Loki, you don't understand." Gao Tianzun looked at the thought body on the fourth floor with interest, "Slytherin is an unprecedented wonder!
Never since the Big Bang has anyone played such a big joke with the Infinity Stones."
"He's just a little shameless." Loki curled his lips, "In my memory, the only one who can compare with him is..."
Having said this, Loki paused and turned to look towards the Asgard box.
Aaron is still there, too, how could Aaron and Slytherin be the same person!
"Only who?"
"Uh... Come to think of it, there isn't one."
......
"Interesting, really very interesting." The collector smiled and said, "Kalena, how much money did we bring?"
"Three hundred trillion, Master."
"Maybe it's not enough!" The collector raised his glasses in confusion. "It's too late to raise money now. I can only ask my brother to borrow it temporarily."
"Okay, Master, I'll go right away."
......
"Sly and cunning." Ebony Maw cursed angrily, "No wonder he wears a mask and hides his true colors."
"He's a character." Thanos said calmly, "I hope he won't become my enemy in the future."
"Master." Ebony Maw was a little bit unbelieving. "You don't have to say this about Slytherin! How can he be your enemy?"
“Based on his courage, most people wouldn’t have the guts to play like this.
As long as such people don't die, they will soon occupy a place in the universe, and..." Thanos took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Such people are often very difficult to kill, and they hold grudges very well."
"After Slytherin's power is established, try not to provoke them, otherwise we will be in endless trouble."
Hearing this, Ebony Maw gritted his teeth, then bowed slightly, "As you command."
......
"Is it him?" asked Observer No. 1.
"Not sure, but it's really similar. Very similar." Observer No. 2 nodded slightly. "The one thousands of years ago was also so... bold."
"I think we need to meet him." Observer No. 3 said, "After the auction is over.
If there is the mark of that family on his arm, it proves that we have found the right person. If not..."
The three observers all looked at Aaron Gaius in the Asgard box, "Then it can only be him."
