563: Chapter 563 Making a fortune in silence

Ji Sheng said, "It's hard to say. There's no fixed number."

"We can only judge based on recorded data from the past. On the low end, there are about 20 rounds."

"On the high end, it has even exceeded a hundred rounds, and that's happened more than once."

Jate also added, "That's right. It is said that 14,000 years ago, there was a treasure mountain inside the Purple Sea that erupted for two whole days. The quantity and scale of the treasures were unprecedented, triggering a great war throughout the Purple Sea."

"Erupted for two days?"

Xiao Weiqing was shocked. If it were like the treasure mountain in front of them, where treasures erupted every ten minutes, that would be 144 rounds a day and nearly 300 rounds in two days.

Just how many treasures would that be?

Jate said, "In fact, it lasted longer than two days, but because people started fighting with True Fire and casualties occurred, the Holy Land had to intervene and close the Purple Sea early."

"The treasures ranked second and third on the treasure leaderboard both appeared during that time."

Xiao Weiqing felt a burning sensation in his heart and asked, "The value of the treasures that time must have been sky-high, right?"

Ji Sheng smiled and held up one finger. "The total value of the treasures that time was this much."

"Ten million??"

"One hundred million!"

Xiao Weiqing gasped. One hundred million credits—he dared not imagine it. How many Blue Stars could that buy?

"So now you know why we aren't in a hurry. Those with even a little bit of strength don't care for the blue-quality treasures; they are all waiting for the red-quality treasures."

Xiao Weiqing nodded, confirming his next goal: unless a deep blue one close to red quality appeared, he would not make a move again.

"It seems no one wants to make a move."

A young man said.

Seeing that the seventh round of treasures was about to erupt, surprisingly, no one wanted to take action.

"If none of you want them, I'm going to make a move. It's a shame to waste them." The young man who spoke leaped a hundred meters the moment the treasures erupted.

"In your dreams. Half each." Another young man flew into mid-air.

"Fine, half each it is."

The two did not play tricks and tacitly divided the four blue-quality treasures between them.

"Not bad, 900 credits. How about you?"

The other young man opened his palm. The light cluster on the surface of the treasure had dissipated, revealing the blue color inside, and he laughed, "Haha~~ My luck is better than yours, about 1200 credits."

It was obvious that among the two blue-quality treasures in the young man's hand, one was much deeper in color.

"Dog shit luck!"

Xiao Weiqing watched all of this from the side, which further solidified his own judgment. Those whose Divine Soul was not strong enough could roughly judge the quality of the treasures, but they could only do so to this extent.

In Xiao Weiqing's perception, that layer of white light made no difference at all.

To put it simply, Xiao Weiqing had 'X-ray vision'.

The seventh round of treasure eruptions ended.

Not long after.

The eighth round of treasures appeared as well.

Five blue ones, all cheap goods. Under Xiao Weiqing's perception, those five blue-quality treasures were as pale as water, and he had even less desire to make a move.

Then came the ninth, tenth, and eleventh rounds. There were no red treasures, and the quantities were only a few pieces.

"It wouldn't just end like this, would it?"

Xiao Weiqing muttered to himself. He was starting to get impatient and wanted to make a move to compete. If there were no more later, or if it remained this blue quality, he would be at a loss.

However.

He saw that Ji Sheng and Sogo were not in a hurry at all, so he had to be patient and continue waiting. But he made up his mind that if there were no red ones in the next two rounds, he would make a move. Even a mosquito is meat, and a blue-quality treasure is still a treasure, worth at least 100 credits.

After the eleventh round of treasure eruptions ended.

A new round of treasures emerged from the gap.

"Holy shit!"

Xiao Weiqing whispered.

"Look, 1, 2, 3... 16 treasures, and... 7 red treasures."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

They had finally waited for a big wave.

"Oh god, I lost out big time. Why didn't it appear sooner?" A wail rang out; it was the person who couldn't resist making a move to snatch treasures in the previous round.

"Slap, slap, slap~~"

Someone else kept slapping their own hand. "Damn it, why couldn't I resist?"

In the last round, 4 people made a move. In this round, there are 20 people qualified to make a move, and there are 7 red treasures. I estimate that about 15 people will make a move, because some people have definitely made up their minds to snatch the next round.

Xiao Weiqing nodded; that possibility certainly existed.

With 7 red-quality treasures in this round, there's no reason for there to be none in the next round, and there might even be more. Therefore, those who resisted in this round will make a huge profit if they make a move in the next.

Especially for those who aren't that strong, making a move in this round is not a good choice.

For those with great strength, it's a different story; what one gets in this round is what's good.

For example, Sogo and Ji Sheng.

And for example, Xiao Weiqing.

At this moment, in his eyes, there were only those two treasures that were so red they were almost purple.

Their quality was even better than the treasure he had snatched before; they were treasures worth over 9,000 credits.

"Are you both going to snatch them?"

Xiao Weiqing and Ji Sheng looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"Xiao Weiqing, let's help each other," Ji Sheng said with a smile.

"Sure."

Everyone who was preparing to make a move to snatch the treasures involuntarily took two steps forward. It was about the same as Ji Sheng's judgment—15 people in total.

"It's coming, get ready."

A busybody shouted loudly.

"Boom!"

The moment the 16 treasures erupted, 15 figures soared into the sky.

Xiao Weiqing's goal was clear: the deep red-quality treasure closest to him.

"Get lost! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you know a few sword moves?"

As the words fell, a long spear thrust out at high speed.

Someone had the same idea as Xiao Weiqing: to claim this red-quality treasure for themselves.

However.

A treasure worth nearly 10,000 credits—how could Xiao Weiqing let him have it?

"The one who should get lost is you!"

"Clang~~"

With a crisp collision, the blade accurately struck the tip of the spear. Then, the ten thousand calamities in his hand flipped, slashing toward the spear-wielder's wrist at a strange angle.

"Hmph!"

The newcomer never expected Xiao Weiqing to react so quickly. He let go of the spear shaft with his right hand, pulled back with his left, and simultaneously exerted force from his waist, preparing to change moves.

Xiao Weiqing would not give him such a chance and silently thought:

"Seamless Slash!"

"Bang!"

He slashed the opponent away and then easily obtained the treasure.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

After Xiao Weiqing obtained the treasure, he observed his surroundings. The contention for the other four treasures had already been settled, and only two were still being fought over.

It is worth mentioning that while they were fighting for the red-quality treasures, one person pocketed all the blue-quality treasures.

Xiao Weiqing had to praise this person. If he remembered correctly, those 9 blue-quality treasures had several that were quite deep in color; the 9 pieces were worth at least 3,000 to 4,000 credits, which was even higher than some of the red-quality treasures in this round.

Very soon.

The twelfth round of treasure contention ended.

Xiao Weiqing and Ji Sheng both successfully obtained a red treasure as they had wished. However, the value of Ji Sheng's treasure was not high, worth about 3,000 credits, far inferior to his.

Jate asked, "Ji Sheng, how was it?"

Ji Sheng smiled, "Average, about 3,000 credits."

"Xiao Weiqing, how about you?"

"About the same as yours," Xiao Weiqing replied casually.
