Dry Witch Auction

China, December 13, 2059.

For most people on Earth, this is just an ordinary day. But for countless powerful beings across the Ganwu Universe, it holds special significance.

This day marks the start of the Dry Witch Auction, which happens every three years!

Held in the virtual universe, the Dry Witch Auction is a highly anticipated event where rare and exotic treasures from across the cosmos are auctioned. Many of these items are unavailable or even unseen elsewhere, making it a unique and valuable occasion for many.

According to Wang Yi's memory of the original story, Luo Feng and his companions first participated in the Dry Witch Auction in late December 2065, though he couldn't recall the exact date. The next auction after this one will take place in December 2062.

For Wang Yi and his group, the upcoming auction is on December 13, 2059. As a four-star customer of the Universe Galaxy Bank, Wang Yi has already received an invitation. With his status, he can bring up to four additional guests to the auction.

Three-star customers, on the other hand, can only attend on their own. Initially, Wang Yi wanted to bring Luo Feng along, but since Luo Feng hadn't yet formed his human body, he decided to let him continue his development.

That didn't bother Wang Yi much. If any suitable treasures appeared at the auction, such as Yan Shen weapons, he didn't mind buying them for Luo Feng. With his current wealth, purchasing a few Yan Shen weapons wouldn't make much of a dent. He saw it as a gift for a friend.

Wang Yi knew that these actions would pay off in the future, as Luo Feng's eventual success would bring him even more benefits.

Even if Wang Yi faced misfortune or something went wrong, with Luo Feng's companionship and achievements, he could rest assured.

Since Luo Feng wouldn't be attending, Wang Yi decided to bring his two wives, Gao Yurong and Shen Yan, along with Thor and Hong. His wife Lin Youyu, who wasn't interested in such events, stayed home to look after the children.

Wang Yi, along with his wives, Shen Yan and Gao Yurong, and his friends, Lei Shen and Hong, left the Jiuxing Bay residence and rode Tianma to the teleportation point.

"Teleport," Wang Yi commanded, holding the four-star invitation in his hand. The invitation glowed faintly with a white light.

In an instant, they were teleported away from Black Dragon Mountain Island and into a floating city above the "Dry witch Continent." As the invitation released a small beam of light, the city's defenses opened up, allowing Wang Yi and his group to enter.

The floating city was a stunning place, surrounded by clouds and mist, with vibrant flowers and plants. The most striking feature was the massive auction hall at the center of the city.

"Welcome, sir, to the Dry Witch Auction. Here is your seat number," a receptionist greeted them politely.

At the auction hall's entrance, long lines had already formed. Attendees from all corners of the Ganwu Universe were waiting to enter, with the crowd made up of many different species and types of humans.

There were 16 entrances to the hall, and each had thousands of people waiting in line. Almost all of them were world masters.

Wang Yi and his group joined one of the lines. Ahead of them stood a large man with a bald head, horns, and white scales on his face. Behind them, more figures continuously appeared.

"There are so many people," Shen Yan whispered to Gao Yurong, feeling the intense atmosphere.

The overwhelming presence of so many powerful world masters, who naturally emitted terrifying auras, made Wang Yi's wives feel anxious. Their faces were pale, as they had not yet been hardened by battle like Wang Yi and his companions.

Wang Yi gently held their hands to comfort them.

"There are so many world masters," Thor remarked in surprise. Their line alone had thousands of people, and with 16 lines, that totaled over 100,000 world masters! It was a staggering number.

Hong and the others were equally astonished and excited.

The line moved slowly forward, and Wang Yi's group listened to the conversations around them. They heard mentions of the "outer battlefield," "cosmic secret realms," and the "Monster, Zerg, and Machine tribes." Wang Yi, familiar with the original story, understood much of it, but Hong, being from Earth, felt lost.

Finally, it was Wang Yi's turn.

"Welcome, sir, to the Dry Witch Auction. Here is your seat number," the receptionist said as she handed Wang Yi five tokens.

Instantly, the nearby world masters turned their gazes towards him, surprised by the weak auras of the group but shocked to see they held four-star customer status.

To become a three-star customer, one needed assets worth at least 10 Universe coin units. A four-star customer, however, required over 10,000 Universe coin units, a level of wealth higher than that of many world masters, and even some immortals. It was a status that few could attain.

Wang Yi accepted the five tokens. Each black token displayed a seat number on its translucent screen—QW2130 and the numbers immediately following it.

As they entered the auction hall, a wave of noise greeted them.

The hall was massive, reminiscent of a football stadium on Earth, with circular stands that seemed to stretch endlessly.

There were 3 million seats in total, and each seat was six meters wide and ten meters high.

Wang Yi and his group quickly found their seats, feeling as if they had entered the realm of giants due to the size of the seats.

Around them, countless world masters were already seated. The hall buzzed with the sound of countless discussions.

In the Ganwu Universe Nation, there were over 13,000 starfields, and world masters numbered in the millions. Those attending the auction were just a small fraction of that immense number.
