Chapter 748: Want to Play a Double Cross with Me?

"What? A complete Divine Weapon?" The Controller guard almost thought he heard wrong.

He saw the gazes coming from around him and immediately lowered his voice; this was no joking matter!

Since the inception of this auction house in Founder City, while there had been instances of Divine Weapon Fragments appearing, their number never exceeded ten. Nearly every time such news was released, it would attract everyone in the entire Founder City.

The allure of Divine Weapon Fragments was evident from the reactions of the blue-robed Transcender and Wang Genji at the time; it was something no one could resist!

Each time, various gangs would nearly empty their coffers just to fight for these fragments.

As far as he knew, the last time a Divine Weapon Fragment appeared, the final auction price reached hundreds of billions of school credits. Converting that to money, it would be tens of trillions of source coins, a value comparable to a large top-tier civilization!

Such treasures wouldn't be sold unless there was an urgent need for school credits, and those organizations that offered such credits would typically suffer significant losses.

And this was just for a fragment of a Divine Weapon!

If a complete Divine Weapon were indeed to surface, he could hardly imagine the implications.

"Are you serious, young man?"

"What do you think?" Fang Jueyu retorted.

Divine Weapons were indeed precious, but merely in the God's Tomb, he'd obtained thousands of complete Divine Weapons, and after further scavenging, he had tens of thousands more.

Moreover, while for ordinary people, finding a Divine Weapon would mean one less in existence, even top Alchemy Masters didn't know the forging techniques.

But at Wanshen Manor, they had the complete forging techniques, and Fang Jueyu even possessed a vast amount of raw materials. Once he achieved Transcender strength, he could forge Divine Weapons at will.

Selling a complete Divine Weapon now to accumulate original funds didn't have much impact on him.

"This might actually be true!" The Controller's eyes blazed; there was no mistaking the aura of a Divine Weapon Fragment just now!

This time, the Cosmic Federation School's freshers' entrance exam was held in the Root Universe. Although this place was extraordinarily dangerous, it was also full of opportunities and contained many unexplored areas by humans.

If by some stroke of luck one stumbled upon a relic unexplored by humans, finding a complete Divine Weapon wouldn't be impossible.

For a moment, a greedy impulse surfaced in his mind; he even felt the urge to kill for the treasure. But Founder City had patrols from the Cosmic Federation School. Violating its rules would not only result in expulsion, but severe punishment.

Such punishment might be worse than death itself. He was just a Controller and didn't dare to take that risk.

"Can I go in now?" Fang Jueyu noticed his expression but didn't take it to heart. Besides the Demigods, perhaps no one in this world could hurt him.

"Of course, let me take you to notify our auction house manager immediately!" He warmly escorted them inside.

The interior of this auction house was exceptionally grand; even Fang Jueyu had to acknowledge its luxury. Expensive gemstone metals adorned everywhere, with some even featuring works of Cosmic Level artists.

"This way, fellow juniors, our manager will be here shortly," the Controller said as he ushered them into a rather spacious room.

"Brother Fang, do you really have a complete Divine Weapon on you?" Bernard couldn't help but ask.

He had seen the demigods of the Godly Tycoon civilization, each with a complete Divine Weapon. But Fang Jueyu was just a Divine Ability User; even with his special status to command those demigods, wasn't he far from being able to use these Divine Weapons?

"Of course, what's a Divine Weapon?" Fang Jueyu replied. "Back home, we use them for chopping wood, cooking, cleaning, and even scrubbing toilets. They're worthless!"

"I..." Unfortunately, Bernard wasn't from Earth, so he couldn't express "What the hell," but his flushed face showed his inner turmoil.

Yet, thinking carefully, even if demigods in the Godly Tycoon civilization only had the qualifications to clean, it didn't seem too strange for him to have several Divine Weapons.

"Forget it, you're just a nouveau riche!"

"The thrill of showing off is exhilarating!" Seeing their exasperated looks, Fang Jueyu couldn't feel more satisfied.

...

"Whoosh!" Accompanied by a faint fragrance, the room's light electric door opened, and a rather enchanting woman walked in with two others.

"Wow, three Transcenders; Founder City sure is full of them, and Controllers are as common as dogs!" Fang Jueyu marveled. Ordinary geniuses have the potential to break through to Transcender within a hundred thousand years, and some exceptional ones attempt it in twenty to thirty thousand.

"Which one of you is the young man selling a Divine Weapon?" The woman's purple eyes scanned the four, finally landing on Fang Jueyu, as his position clearly marked him as being in charge.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Moshana, the manager of this auction house, and these are my assistants."

"Miss, that's me!" Fang Jueyu said playfully as he approached.

"May I see the goods first?"

"Sure, I'm very generous; have a look!" Fang Jueyu produced a twenty-centimeter-long Divine Weapon, looking like a stick. Whoever designed it must have been a real genius, as it appeared somewhat sinister.

Instantly, an ancient aura wafted through, and the room's air seemed to freeze.

"A Divine Weapon! It's actually a complete Divine Weapon!" Everyone's pupils involuntarily widened several times over, the power and laws contained within far deeper than those of a fragment.

"So, miss, is there any problem with the item?" Fang Jueyu inquired. "You handle the auction; I understand the auction house has rules. Take your commission and give me the remaining credits."

"Young man," Moshana spoke, hinting to her assistants, who promptly blocked the door.

Fang Jueyu's expression changed. "Miss, what do you mean by this?"

"This Divine Weapon clearly belongs to our auction house, how did it become yours?" Moshana said in a voice dripping with allure, though it held a sinister undertone.

"What the...?" Fang Jueyu was stunned. He doubted whether he misheard; the item was rightfully his, yet suddenly it belonged to the auction house? He thought he was audacious, but apart from Wang Genji, he found someone even more audacious!

"You're fabricating stories and engaging in sleight of hand, imagining things out of thin air. 'May the deceased rest in peace; have a safe journey'..."

"Shut up!" Moshana's gaze turned razor-sharp. "I don't know if you're truly naive or pretending, but for a mere Divine Ability User to possess such a treasure and dare to reveal it, well, to prevent you from spreading the news, I must ask you to remain here forever."

"Bang!" Fang Jueyu slammed the table. "Damn it, I call you miss, and you really think you're a lady? Dare to play this game of double-crossing? Xiao Hei, get her for me!"
