Chapter 851: "The Observer"
The host exclaimed, "We're about to launch the ninth auction lot β 'Raiders of the Last Civilizations' by an unknown man β which was made in its original printed form. The first and last 3 pages are shown below. β
Lin Zaishan listened intently and stared intently at the page on display. He tried to find information to pass the final eschatological judgment, but to his disappointment, he saw only some strange patterns and symbols, not even words.
Art was also paying attention to the book, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking of something.
The host said: "This book is a banned book in the high-level plane, and it is also unpopular in the pan-plane; But I believe that civilizations that are or are about to suffer eschatological judgment will be hungry for it. The reserve price of this book is 2 billion Star Coins, and each increase must not be less than 100 million. Start bidding! β
Art made a gesture of invitation to Lin Zaishan and said with a smile: "Obviously, you are determined to get this book; And I can tell you responsibly, no matter how high the price you pay, I will pay 1 billion more than you. β
Lin Zaishan also smiled: "Okay, it seems that the contest between us has officially started from this auction." β
"Fight me, you're going to lose badly, and you're going to die." Art seemed determined to win, "You can think of this as fate, or as a pre-set rule in the galaxy world. β
"Do you really think that you have already understood and even mastered the rules of the galaxy world?" Lin Zaishan sneered: "Even the ninth-level boss Yuan Tianzun will fall, is a thief like you a little overconfident?" β
"It's useless to say more, I will use practical actions to let you taste the bitter fruit."
The customers at the scene were obviously not very interested in the book "Raiders of Civilization in the Last Days", and no one even bid.
The host asked in disappointment, "Which guest would be the first to make a bid?" β
Lin Zaishan casually quoted: "100 units of God's blood!" β
"Wow!" Everyone was amazed, this earthling was so arrogant, casually hundreds of units of God's blood, which was probably one of the few in Oolong Star.
Art glared at Lin Zaishan in shock and anger, and after the host's "100 units of God's blood 1st, 2nd" briefing, he said loudly: "101 units of God's blood." β
The blood of God was obtained by the Moba pirates through cunning and robbery, and they hoarded less than 500 units in total, which belonged to hard currency and strategic materials, and would never be used unless they had to, but at this moment, they were forced by Lin Zaishan to bid for a book that looked very earthy.
Lin Zaishan didn't care about raising the price again: "150 units of God's blood." β
Art's face became ugly, but instantly regained his composure, and he followed, "151 units." β
The bid turned into a battle for money between Lin Zaishan and Yat. When Lin Zaishan shouted out 200 units of God's blood, Art did not hesitate to report 201.
Everyone's eyes were on Lin Zaishan, expecting him to shout out a jaw-dropping price again.
Lin Zaishan smiled slightly, "I won't follow." β
The host asked three times in a row, and then announced that Art had won the "Raiders of the Last Civilization" written by Anonymous for a shocking high price of 201 units of God's blood.

Zhu Tianling, who had been "watching the battle" with great interest just now, approached Lin Zaishan and asked, "If I guessed correctly, you should be able to take out more God's blood, why did you take the initiative to give up?" β
Lin Zaishan asked, "Can I trust you?" β
"You don't need to trust me, but you can trust one thing: I'm definitely not in the same group as Art."
"The reason why I didn't follow it was because I already knew in advance that this so-called "Raiders of Apocalyptic Civilization" was just a video game manual." "I didn't even see it, how do you know?"
"It's simple, because I bought and looked through the book in the book section of the interstellar hypermarket before I came to the auction."
"Hehe, it seems that reading more books is really beneficial." Zhu Tianling's beautiful eyes blinked, and then asked, "Are you sure that the auction here is the same book you bought at the hypermarket?" Maybe it's just a coincidence of the title? Or maybe the books are the same, but in some ways they are still different. β
"Perhaps." Lin Zaishan had long known that this book was written by the Loyal and Brave Knight of the Parallel Earth, but there was a strange pattern on the last page of the display that he did not have in the book he bought. This pattern resembles both an unknown star and a galaxy. Judging from all kinds of information, it is by no means something that can be created by online players like loyal knights. Lin Zaishan had reason to judge that the only value of the book being auctioned was in this pattern, which he had memorized in his heartβwhich was why he decided to abandon the auction and fool Yat once.
//////
The last auction item is the Blood of God of the Sea Eater Master. After so many rounds in the past, the freshness and impact caused by the blood of God has greatly diminished. Although the auction items were sold, the price was far from as high as expected.
The sea eating master had a sad face, cursed repeatedly, and said to Lin Zaishan: "Let's go back to the Xiaoyao Star Palace as soon as possible to have a big meal." β
Lin Zaishan was about to agree, but Zhu Tianling suddenly said: "Lin Zaishan, I guess you must go to the forbidden land of the Zhengjin clan to the Golden Furnace, right?" β
"Is my itinerary open and transparent?"
"Hehe, there's not much you can hide from me. I'm willing to accompany you, how? β
Lin Zaishan was surprised: "Aren't you going to keep a distance between us earthlings?" β
"I really should have been during my training; But since you were promoted to the seventh level of Star Soul, my training period has come to an end. That's why I'm going to go on vacation to Oolong now. β
"Qu Youyou will be very sad to suddenly lose your sweet little sister."
"Don't worry, I still have a doppelganger by her side."
Lin Zaishan said: "What I want to do next is not as relaxing and pleasant as vacation, I am trying to find a way to save the earth from the end times, every step may be born and died, nine deaths and one life." β
"To me, the more dangerous the better." Zhu Tianling is obviously very different from Lin Zaishan's definition of danger. It's no wonder how could the daughter of a ninth-level boss, a Tianzun-level powerhouse, take Lin Zaishan's earth-beating adventure in her eyes.
"This ......" Lin Zaishan still hesitated.
Master Hai Eater glanced at his head fiercely with one of his upper limbs, "Master Lin, you are really a second-class product!" Don't you see that this Sweet Spirit Princess took the initiative to put down the shelf to help you? You are still doing it, beware of you being killed! β
"Okay." Lin Zaishan reluctantly agreed to Zhu Tianling.
After that, the sea eating master returned to the Xiaoyao Star Palace Hotel, while Lin Zaishan and Zhu Tianling left the interstellar auction hall together.

In the crowded and lively square, Lin Zaishan asked solemnly: "Your Excellency Princess Tianling, what are your plans?" β
"Don't you feel that all calculations and plans are easy to see? So, in order not to be recognized, it's better not to plan so clearly. β
"It doesn't matter if you don't plan carefully, but if I'm not careful, I'll be shattered and scattered."
"Huh." Zhu Tianling smiled like a flower. "Can you not use honorifics on me? This creates a very estranged gap between us. β
"There are N worlds between us."
"If you are willing to give up saving the human race on the earth, and only consider promoting yourself to the eighth or ninth level, you will find that not only is there no barrier between us, but we will even get along very well."
"I'm not going to give up."
"Even if you may sacrifice yourself, won't you give up saving the human race on Earth?"
"Yes!" Lin Zaishan's answer was very decisive.
"You're so respectable as stupid!" Zhu Tianling rebuked fiercely, "With your qualifications, if you are willing to concentrate on evolution, it will be a matter of time before you are promoted to the ninth level, as long as you become a ninth-level powerhouse, the power and resources of the entire galaxy universe can get a piece of the pie." For an insignificant civilization like the earth, you can decide its life and death with a single thought, so why bother to work hard and even delay a great future and self-sacrifice when your own realm is insufficient? β
Lin Zaishan shook his head, "If we can't follow the right path now, how can we hope to attain the right path in the future?" The Tao is the Tao, and it is consistent. On the path of evolution, I am where I am today because of the positive energy model. At the critical moment when the human race on earth is suffering from the end-time judgment, if I resolutely abandon it for the sake of my own promotion-I am so ungrateful and unresponsible, how can I take on a larger range of galactic universes in the future? β
"Hehe, although you didn't convince me, at least let me see one thing: in terms of rhetoric alone, you are no worse than Art and the others. Perhaps you should run to the Pirates of the Last Tyrant and subdue them with your sword. β
"If I can't even convince people who are kind enough to help, I don't have the luxury of convincing the enemy."
"Don't be stinky, I may not be kind enough to help you, maybe I just want to see up close how you, a hero who has never met a thousand stars, failed, so that I can learn from it and complete my new era experience."
Lin Zaishan has already concluded that it will be difficult for him to get rid of Zhu Tianling as an "observer" for a period of time in the future, no matter what her motives are, the dominant force behind it is far beyond his limit.
Looking back on the past, Lin Zaishan never dreamed that the poor little girl with a broken arm that he rescued from the mouth of a zombie would turn into a fairy-like sweet princess who is proud of the pan-plane today. Zhu Tianling's heart is really not comparable to mortals, she didn't even use her abilities when one of her arms was eaten. Later, when she was in the new provincial capital, the vulture tried to insult her, and then Zhu Tianling couldn't bear to electrocute her, and intentionally or unintentionally blamed the beautiful girl Tianqin. The vulture's disrespect for Zhu Tianling caused the wrath of the high-level plane, and they accelerated their attack on the Earth Zerg in the end times.
The Star Soul Shepherds who were sent to the earth in the last days were all arrogant and arrogant, but they were the only ones who were in awe of Zhu Tianling. It is precisely because of Zhu Tianling's existence that objectively, the Huaxia Black and White Envoys do not dare to easily harvest the Dreadnought team, thus creating conditions for the team to shine in the future.
If Lin Zaishan knew Zhu Tianling's identity in advance, he would definitely make targeted arrangements, so as to reduce the mistakes and punishments suffered by human beings in the last days. However, in order to prevent being detected by humans, Zhu Tianling always erases the sensitive memories of relevant people from time to time, and even the master of empty color is also on the way. It wasn't until Lin Zaishan was promoted to a middle and senior Star Soul coder that Zhu Tianling no longer had the ability to control his memory.
Looking back on the experience since he met Zhu Tianling, Lin Zaishan has to say that this high-ranking Tianling princess has not expressed obvious malice towards the humans on the earth, and has never bullied anyone (except for erasing some people's memories). She took the initiative to contact herself at this moment, maybe she really had ulterior motives, but she obviously didn't look like an enemy.
If it is not necessary, it must not be an enemy of Zhu Tianling. Due to Arte's darkness and other reasons, Lin Zaishan is already in a state of opposition with Princess Bingjiao, if Princess Tianling is offended again, it means that He Tianzun and Zhu Tianzun behind them will be angry and even resentful, and the human beings on the earth will really have no way to live.
Zhu Tianling stared at Lin Zaishan with a pair of big eyes that flashed with colorful light, and asked, "How is it?" Ready to take a closer look at me? β
