"[Star Server: Ancient Artifact Industry]

"Auction Post by Faceless Ancient (Star Server Owner): Welcome everyone! Foremost, everyone, I can't thank you all enough for the support you all have shown me, and I'm feeling extremely humble! I'm still feeling surreal that so many people understand and appreciate my talent and hard work while some narrow-minded nincompoops wanted to suppress me, even kill me, so that they could stop this revolutionary industry! Today will mark the day when the Ancient Artifact Industry will launch its first product, and whoever paid the most will be able to buy it, fair and square! There are also perks like Win-Win Post Privilege which will allow you to do business in my server freely, without being worried about your identity being revealed to anyone or someone's suppression! This is a hub for the common public and shall remain for as long as I live!

"Auction Item Name: Atomic Grenade

"Item Type: Weapon/Explosive

"Item Rank: At least Advanced Epic Rank

"Item Properties: Subatomic (NO Magic)

"Item Quantity: 1

"Item Description: Atomic Grenade is a consumable explosive just like any grenade. But its area of range is thousands of times more, not to mention its damage and aftereffect are its biggest deadly features. With a range of around 100~200 miles, it is a weapon of mass destruction. However, its true terror lies in its aftereffects. I'm sure all of you must've known about the poisonous mist surrounding the epic star ocean. But for those who didn't know, let me summarize it for you all so you can understand what I meant by 'aftereffects.' First, the area where this Atomic Grenade explodes will be filled with powerful radiation and turn into heaven for dark beings, meanings the lands would become completely infertile for centuries to come. Second, absolutely no Common, Rare, or weak Extraordinary Rank living thing could survive the radiation, and even if they did, they would never be the same, at least not their descendants because this is also a biochemical weapon! Last but not least, NEVER try to reverse-engineer it because I have installed an anti-theft component in my cocktail, and the moment anyone even remotely tries to open the grenade or analyze it with any sort of technology, please prepare your own coffin beforehand as well as the people surrounding you. Don't complain that I never warned you!

"Starting (Opening) Bid Price: 1,000,000 ZC

"Reaming Time before the auction end: 05H:49M:38S

"Current highest Bidder: Anonymous84322 (Star ID: Great Hallberg)

"Bid from Anonymous84322: 21,500,000 ZC"

Jacob looked at the auction post he had posted just ten minutes ago and the real ID of the anonymous bidder, and his expression were frosty. He didn't have any good feelings toward Hallberg since that guy clearly sold him out, and then he shamelessly sent him messages to recruit him.

In the end, Jacob completely ghosted him because there wasn't any need to say anything when his action could speak louder. He no longer had any goodwill toward any of these massive organizations of the Zodiac Plains, not even the mysterious Dark City.

Since he had opened his own industry again, he naturally has plans to exploit it fully, and these people will be his stepping stones. Nevertheless, the bid for just one atomic grenade has reached his wildest imagination.

But when he thought about how novel and alluring the atomic grenade was, and people had already seen its destructive might, it didn't seem surprising that people were desperately fighting for it. n0veLUsB.c0m

Furthermore, the animosity Jacob's star server provided gave everyone even more courage to bid freely. But this animosity was only for others, for Jacob could see their star IDs freely.

Lastly, Jacob's server suddenly surged with even more members because before posting this bid, he had posted a star news post to draw more attention, and he achieved that quite easily.

However, despite the bid reaching 21.5 million ZC, it hasn't stopped at all, and few people were still bidding, and a few of them were like Hallberg, the people Jacob hates.

"New Bid from Anonymous19393 (Star ID: Apocalyptic-S): 21,550,000 ZC"

"New Bid from Anonymous145839 (Star ID: New-Star-of-Dawn): 21,600,000 ZC"

"New Bid from Anonymous2218 (Star ID: Amiable Monk Fish): 22,000,000 ZC"

"New Bid from Anonymous132 (Star ID: Might-of-Destruction): 25,000,000 ZC"

"New Bid from Anonymou500 (Star ID: Rich Winter Lady): 25,500,000 ZC"

"New Bid from Anonymous12 (Star ID: Giant Disdain): 25,550,000 ZC"

"New Bid from Anonymous1029732 (Star ID: PoorPot): 25,600,000 ZC"

"New Bid from Anonymous4 (Star ID: Amiable Wizened Monk): 30,000,000 ZC"

Jacob looked at the bigwigs who were actively partaking in the bidding, and those numbers represented the ranks they all had joined the star sever in. The three leaders had all joined his star server before it could even reach 1000 members. Especially, Nelsen was the fourth one to join the star server.

Nevertheless, Jacob was paying more attention to those other guys who were bidding against those bigwigs, and all of them were someone with 2-star privilege IDs. He knew because these people had sent him messages before, and now they were all rivaling the three leaders.

Just his was enough proof that there were many hidden snakes coiling in the darkness, waiting for a moment to cause upheaval, and Jacob had provided the platform!

Maybe he wasn't the only one who held a grudge against the leaders of the three hegemonies or who they had wronged in their time of rule.

But the one who turned this hate into profit was Jacob, and this also freed him from the trouble of collecting enough ZC before entering a plain trial. Because last time, he was as poor as dirt and missed out on many things from the champion shop.

Now that he was going there again and he had no choice but to win, he would naturally go poor at least, and if he ended up winning, he didn't need the three hegemonies to seek adequate knowledge, skills, and scriptures. He can get them all!

Jacob then looked at the bidding post again, and it abruptly stopped at the 30 million bid Nelson had suddenly placed.

It was already a staggering amount, and just one grenade wasn't worth that much. But Jacob heard that this guy was also a famous explosive expert, and he knew why he didn't want this weapon to fall into someone else hand.

Nelsen was even sending him messages to stop this and calls, but Jacob ignored them all, and Nelsen wasn't alone. Nevertheless, now no one could send him a forced call or message anymore, which made it pretty clear that no one had the 3-star privilege, which was nothing but a relief for him.

At this moment, a new bid was placed, which greatly surprised Jacob.
