As the helicopter appeared on the big screen, accompanied by various performance displays, there was finally some movement in the venue.

Diane originally wanted to continue bidding, skipping over these uninteresting items directly, but was stopped by that Golden.

The Di Feng Family indeed has money, a lot of it, but they can't be reckless. This time, the attendees and those connected online are wealthy merchants from various cities and also legislator clans.

Those potions don't matter much; the profit isn't significant, and they are happy to speed up the process. But if it continues like this, it might upset some people.

Diane pouted, returned to her seat, and watched silently.

When the helicopter's effects finished playing.

A figure in a black robe in the field directly bid: "Eighty thousand..."

Before the words even landed, a second bid appeared: "Let's go big, two hundred thousand."

"Two hundred and ten thousand..."

"Two hundred and twenty thousand..."

After the price reached two hundred thousand, it slowed down a bit because the major wealthy merchants all have aircraft; they care about the commercial value.

This thing performs too poorly compared to other aircraft, its only benefit being its cheap price. Although the market is large, it can't withstand trend followers.

So the helicopter might become widely circulated, but the technology auction wouldn't have a very high price.

"Two hundred and thirty thousand."

"Two hundred and forty thousand."

"Two hundred and fifty thousand...."

The bidding gradually stalled, and Baiyi smiled and said: "Two hundred and fifty thousand going once, any more bids? This helicopter, like the steam train, can be fully manufactured, operated, and used to transport goods by non-professionals."

Baiyi glanced left and right: "Two hundred and fifty thousand going twice."

"Two hundred and sixty thousand!"

Baiyi looked towards the origin, slightly raised an eyebrow; it was that wealthy merchant who bought the steam train again.

Those with iron mines at home can't let go of such cheap things; after all, the rules of this world are like this.

Mages reformed agriculture. The staple food they developed is extraordinarily productive, requiring only one food base to easily supply the whole city.

Even, each year, for three to four months, the land of the food base is used to grow agricultural products with a focus on delicious taste, those low-yielding plants are more profitable than the food for three million people in the whole city.

Because it's clearly written in the Federation's laws that the price of staple food for civilians cannot exceed 2 Copper Coins per pound.

This eliminates the risk of civilians starving to death, even the risk of hunger.

In turn, their labor becomes extremely cheap, and no matter how capable, the average person's monthly salary doesn't exceed ten Silver Coins.

The Federation wants ordinary people to survive easily but live poorly, only to look enviously at the Rich District and turn that envy into motivation to become transcendent.

So, this boss can hire ordinary people at a very low cost, lay railways throughout the entire Federation, and can easily start countless helicopter production lines, it's all money.

"Two hundred and seventy thousand."

The fat man turned his head to the person next to him, thought for a moment, and continued bidding: "Two hundred and eighty thousand!"

After this price appeared, the room fell into an eerie silence.

"Two hundred and eighty thousand going once, it seems Boss Luo's cash flow is still very abundant." Baiyi smiled and said: "Anyone higher?"

The wealthy merchants in the venue were all silent; it was obvious this price had reached its limit.

"Two hundred and eighty thousand going twice, two hundred and eighty thousand sold, congratulations to Boss Luo!"

Baiyi said with a smile and sent the manufacturing process of the helicopter using Worker Bees, then brought back a Dawn Badge from the other side.

The next few auction items Baiyi presented had a lukewarm response; although some were bought, the prices weren't very high.

For example, motorcycles, jet single-person aircraft, steam trucks, and other items that have little use but still some utility as low-cost items.

During this time, not a single legislator clan bid, and Diane watched Baiyi impatiently, wanting to bid and skip over these trivial items many times.

But she was persuaded by those beside her because everyone knew these items were actually just for those connecting remotely and those present, while the legislator clans were waiting for the final items.

With each auction item depleting, nearly a million Gold Coins arrived. Baiyi waved his hand, and a glass of milk was brought over by a Worker Bee. He took a sip and began introducing the next auction item: "The regular technology auction is over. Next up is the extraordinary technology. As usual, let's start with something everyone is interested in, the Alchemy Magic Net."

"I've introduced this before, so there's no need to continue. The starting price is still one Gold Coin."

Baiyi smiled: "However, this item is different from other auction items. Its appearance requires two conditions. First, twenty percent of the shares; second, Mr. Sunu as the supervisor."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the venue frowned, including the legislator clans. Everyone knew the value of this thing, but wasn't the second condition inevitably something from the Koman Family?

Baiyi also knew what this would entail, so he calmly said: "Of course, I've already discussed the second point. Mr. Sunu will open a Magic Net company and be its boss. Whoever wins the Magic Net will gain seventy percent of the company's profits, of which twenty percent is mine, and ten percent is Sunu's."

Once he had finished speaking, those questioning gazes turned meaningful. Sunu is a civilian genius. If he establishes a company, it would be tantamount to breaking away from the Koman Family.

And this seems to mean there's a chance to recruit an Alchemy Technologist of Golden Middle Tier.

Of course, the relationships here are somewhat complicated, and they need to ponder it carefully.

On the other hand, the Koman Family has nothing to worry about. As a leading family, although not as wealthy as the Di Feng Family, acquiring an auction item is not a problem.

As for Sunu, he had already communicated with the Koman Family in advance, and the Koman Family knew they needed to spend a large amount of money today. Although painful, the following income from this thing is exceedingly high.

For example, the network will be free for a year at first. Once the contents inside attract transcendants completely, they'll decisively charge a network fee. Even if it's one Silver Coin per month, given the Federation's large population base and transcendent base.

This revenue is enough to elevate the Koman Family to a higher level.

They never thought they would lose, so they had nothing to worry about regarding Sunu's independence.

As for giving Baiyi a twenty percent share, no one minded. An SS-level alchemy technology genius, as long as they're not dead, is bound to reach the Golden Upper Tier. Making friends with such a level of a genius can never be wrong.

"It seems everyone has no objections to these two conditions, so let the bidding begin!"

Baiyi said with a smile. This is a source of long-term income; whoever wins doesn't matter. Introducing this in reality is like acquiring 20% of Penguin's shares, right?

As soon as he finished speaking, the room immediately became lively. They didn't even need Sabo's arranged shills to speak up; the price instantly soared to a million.
