Chapter 45
Listings from the Transcendents watching over him that they had personally placed and recommended.
Although there were no Prefion with Soo-hee as her incarnation, there were at least four Transcendents, giving him two listings each.
A total of eight were on the list.
‘Shall I take a look?’
Without having to scramble, Sung-hyuk’s eyes quickly checked the items they had registered by moving his hand.
Once he saw the items’ options, he couldn’t help but cluck his tongue.

______________________________
All items are rated as high as 3-star+.
Moreover, the effects of these items are just as useful as the suggestions given to Sung-hyuk.
Like the Rally of the Forbearers, which grants buffs to nearby allies.
Starting with the armor, which could be considered specialized for Sung-hyuk, who leads a large group of bees, and continuing with Frainkito’s stinger, which is about the size of a thick needle and looks like it was made for the purpose of properly using the Bee Acupuncture skill.
And then there’s the Lucky Potion that Bo’s gaze has registered, which is the ultimate tool for Sung-hyuk.
The cooldown for Capturing a Dimensional Queen Bee will end in two days.
If he consumes and utilizes it at that time, he’ll be able to capture a higher-ranked queen bee, just like he did with the previous Peridot Queen Bee.
‘With a performance like this, I shouldn’t miss anything.’
It’s no exaggeration to say that these items were all specifically tailored for Sung-hyuk.
However, apart from all of them, there was something else that he was most impressed with.

[Queen Ninekito’s Growth Booster (★★★+)] – Currently No Active Bids
※ This item is infused with the Transcendent Being’s Divinity Fragments (This item is extremely beneficial, surpassing the effects of standard items).

※ Caution: This is a one-time effect per entity.
* Description: A ★★★+ ranked growth booster created by the Transcendent Being, Queen of Bugs, Ninekito, by extracting the essence of her own energy. A subtle splinter of divinity imbued within it has resulted in it possessing equivalent divine potency. The ultimate nourishment for bugs.
______________________________
That’s NineKito’s growth booster, which has the fraudulent effect of boosting the growth rate to 100% in one fell swoop.
It seems like an irrelevant benefit to others, and so far there are still no bidders.
[The minimum bid for Queen Ninekito’s Growth Booster (★★★+) is 1 coin].
[South Korea/Honeybee has placed a bid of 1 coin for Queen Ninekito’s Growth Booster (★★★+). 10 minutes left]
※ If no additional bids are made within the remaining time, the item will be awarded to the bidder.
Ninekito had even set the minimum bid to 1 coin, as if to emphasize the value of the item.
Considering that most other Transcendents have a minimum bid of 10,000 coins or more, it’s almost as if this was done on purpose.
Combine that with the fact that other players didn’t need the item, and the fact that they had to focus on other items due to their coin situation, and it was a perfect match.
Ten minutes quickly passed with no further bidding,
[You have successfully purchased Queen Ninekito’s Growth Booster (★★★+) for 1 coin].
‘……Queen of Bugs. I love you.’
After all, wasn’t it said that all queens, be they bees or bugs, were always right?
With a heart as generous as the ocean, getting an item at almost a giveaway price, Sung-hyuk’s expression of joy is only momentary.
He focused his attention on the ongoing bidding wars at the auction house.
[South Korea/Honeybee has placed a bid on Rally of the Forbearers (★★★+) for 86,300 coins. Remaining Time: 10 minutes]
[South Korea/Honeybee has placed a bid on King Frainkito’s Stinger (★★★+) for 45,000 coins. Remaining Time: 10 minutes]
[South Korea/Honeybee has placed a bid on Bo’s Potion of Luck (★★★+) for 63,000 coins. Remaining Time: 10 minutes]
……
The sheer financial power of the Korean Beekeeper is such that it becomes a raging tidal wave.
With the participation of Honeybee with unbelievable personal wealth, the auction house was suddenly in a state of chaos.
Why?
Because it’s an Auction.
In an environment where the use of combat and skills is restricted, coin is power, and in this auction house, that means coin is the law.
Naturally, the overwhelming power struck hard, so watching it is a viral experience.
【South Korea/Quick Feet: Ohhhhhh! Is this true? Honeybee, a specialty of the South Korean server, is releasing a huge amount of money and bidding on things!】
【South Korea/Neatfreak: The bid for the Rally of the Forbearers, which is being fought by a Chinese Emperor player, has reached 90,000! Honeybee. Where the hell is his limit!??】
【South Korea/Crazy No.1 : LOL This is a true capital showdown. You’re really competing with a continent!】
The coin Sung-hyuk collected by selling the processed goods collected by the bees for 38 Days.
It started to surge.
* * *
*Bammm!*
The Emperor’s clenched fist is filled with rage.
The desk that took the blow trembles, and the Emperor’s avatar, dressed in a golden crown and robes, glares.
【China/Emperor: This is ridiculous, and you can still say that you serve as a general who supports me?】
【China/Emperor’s Left Hand: I-I apologize.】
【China/Emperor’s Right Leg: There’s no excuse, Your Majesty…….】
The Emperor, an influential player who has harnessed China’s overflowing population and its vast resources to create a shelter system that borders on factory farming, starting with the gathering and farming of natural vegetation, followed by the raising of livestock.
He was confident that he could even manage an incarnation contract with a pet and a trustworthy transcendent who manages the server in China.
The Emperor had even used a method known as the Blood Purge to slaughter countless players in order to raise money for this auction house.
As such, he harbored ambitions to claim all of the Asian server’s Transcendents’ items on this particular event.
But then, this?
An interloper who kept interrupting his current bidding status on the entries he was currently holding.
Perhaps a couple of items.
The Emperor’s frustration was palpable as he kept increasing his bids on things that were worth over 80% of the price.
【China/Emperor: You better carve a warning in their hearts so they understand this time. Do you understand, Head?】
【China/Emperor’s Head: Ah, yes, indeed.】
The Emperor’s attention turns to Honeybee’s avatar, who continues to wiggle his body.
Understanding the meaning behind it, the Head’s eyes widen in disbelief, but….
【South Korea/Silent Harvester: Hey, big head. My friend is in a bit of a hurry, so fuck off and get lost.】
【China/Emperor’s Head: Y-You, Do you really seek war? The Great Land’s warnings are not for naught!】
Sensing his intentions, the masked avatar of propriety steps in to intervene.
【China/Emperor’s Right Hand: Tell that bug to stay out of this bid while we’re still being nice! Unless he wishes to die!】
【China/Emperor’s Left Hand: Has the world gone crazy and they’ve forgotten their place in it!】
The other Emperor’s components, who had been watching the situation, also joined in.
A series of threats and orders to stop the current bidding, but the response is still a flat rejection.
The Avatars’ heads, arms, and legs trembled.
If this were a place where combat was possible, they’d probably be drawing their weapons right about now.
【China/Emperor: Enough. Okay, your will. I understand very well. Small country. Don’t blame me if your choice leads to a bloodbath.】
【Korea/Silent Harvester : Fuck it. You’re going to get your asses handed to you later anyway. You think I wouldn’t know that?】
Did he sense that there was no point in talking anymore?
The Emperor, who has been attending to the situation, breaks off the conversation by simply saying that he has no interest in continuing, and they all return to their seats.
As far as they’re concerned, what matters now is not whether or not there will be a war.
Instead, it’s the first auction on the Asian server.
The items listed by these transcendent beings, who only come once a week, are not to be missed.
【China/Emperor: Head. I’m going to perform a bloody purge, so make sure you don’t get outbid.】
【China/Emperor’s Head: Ah, yes, sir, Emperor.】
For that, he needs the force required on the auction house.
In order to rapidly earn coins, the Emperor exited the auction house to conduct another bloody purge.
