Inside the spaceship.
Kafka lounged lazily in the pilot's seat.
Holding a glass of red wine in her hand.
The cabin walls had activated the transparency function.
Allowing her to enjoy a 360-degree view of the universe outside the ship.
Ahead.
A glowing planet was her destination.
A faint smile played on her lips.
As if what was about to happen would amuse her greatly.
"Buzz!"
Silver Wolf's holographic projection appeared in the cabin.
Silver Wolf checked through the microcomputer on her wrist.
And sighed.
"I told you, Kafka, you really went to this place, huh?"
"It's interesting, isn't it?"
Kafka placed the wine glass on the windowsill.
The red wine inside swayed slightly.
Indicating that the ship was preparing to dock at the planet's docking point.
"Are you sure that thing can be sold?" Silver Wolf asked again.
"The auction here is different from other places."
"Free trade... no questions asked about origin or source."
"Every guest who comes here might sell something unexpected."
"Here, it's all about price and bidding."
With that.
Kafka stood up from her seat.
Clearly.
She didn't plan to waste any time.
After preparing to disembark.
The auction began directly.
"Everything else is prohibited."
"So, don't worry about me."
Silver Wolf showed a hint of doubt.
This expression was quite rare on her face.
She wasn't worried about Kafka.
But because the item Kafka was about to auction was a bit too special!
It involved content from Honkai: Star Rail.
So Silver Wolf was also paying attention.
Soon.
The spaceship had docked.
Kafka stepped out of the cabin.
Silver Wolf's projection followed her out.
The beings here participating in the trade were all sorts of strange.
Not just projections.
Any form of life was possible.
A series of procedures followed step by step.
Arriving in front of the auction site.
An Intellitron needed to confirm the item Kafka was bringing to the trade.
Kafka opened her right hand.
A palm-sized black box appeared.
The Intellitron conducted a careful scan for confirmation.
At first, it thought this black box was some kind of treasure.
But upon seeing what was sealed inside.
It was immediately stunned!
Then.
A clear look of shock appeared on its mechanical face!
"This is...!"
"The Borisin's war chief, Hoolay?"
"Excuse me, you... please wait a moment!"
"Hmm."
Soon.
Three more professional appraisers arrived.
After some operations.
They confirmed the pricing of this item!
"Miss, this item of yours is of extraordinary significance."
"Our final reference value is... 1 billion!"
"Of course, this is just the starting price, and there is potential for higher value later."
Kafka nodded.
She was quite satisfied with this result.
Her own bounty was only 10 billion.
"Additionally, due to the special nature of this item, we have specially applied for priority bidding rights for you."
"It can appear in the auction immediately."
"Are you willing to accept?"
Kafka smiled slightly.
"That would be best."
"Alright, here is your identification code, you can now proceed to the site and witness the bidding process of your item."
Heading to the VIP channel.
Silver Wolf still followed by her side.
At this moment, she finally couldn't hold back.
She muttered, "Isn't this a bit too much..."
"Hoolay is the boss of this version!"
"Isn't this a bit too blatant?"
"Is this considered disrupting Yu Ling's storyline?"
If it were other matters, it would be fine.
Silver Wolf would be more than happy to stir things up and make things more interesting.
But Honkai: Star Rail this game.
Silver Wolf holds it in extremely high regard.
It holds an extraordinary place in her heart.
So Kafka's behavior.
In Silver Wolf's eyes, it even seemed a bit excessive.
Of course.
Silver Wolf is also conflicted.
She is also somewhat looking forward to seeing the next scene!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have hesitated until now to speak up.
"I guess... Yu Ling wouldn't care."
"Perhaps, he would even be happy to see this situation."
"Alright, as you wish."
Silver Wolf let out a long breath.
Ultimately, she compromised.
Her eyes then revealed a hint of excitement!
Currently, Honkai: Star Rail is releasing its latest storyline!
As the BOSS, Hoolay, is about to be auctioned off as an item at the same time!
This contrast!
This comparison!
This irony!
It's just too interesting!
She could hardly wait to see the expressions on those people's faces!
At the scene.
There were quite a few participants in the auction.
And there were all sorts of life forms present.
Many of them were in disguise.
It was estimated that more than half of them were on the Interastral Peace Corporation's wanted list.
But that didn't stop everyone from sitting together.
Bidding on one item after another.
At this moment.
What was being auctioned was a black and gold spear.
The spear's body was somewhat mottled.
According to the host's introduction.
Wielding this spear could unleash the power of the Geo element.
But the starting bid was only 1 million Credits.
Yet the crowd seemed disinterested.
Many were looking at their screens, engrossed in the storyline of Honkai: Star Rail.
They didn't even bother to glance at this item.
As expected.
The item went unsold.
Kafka found a seat and sat down.
Beside her.
There were some dissatisfied voices.
"~The items up for auction this time are too trashy! What a waste of time!"
"The only thing worth looking at is that Phase Flame."
"If I had known the batch of items would be this bad, I might as well have gone to the Exalting Sanctum in Luofu to watch the live stream of Honkai: Star Rail."
"That makes sense, let's leave now, there's still time."
The scene became somewhat noisy for a moment.
Clearly.
There were quite a few people who shared this sentiment.
Just then!
The host suddenly raised his voice several notches!
His voice even trembled slightly!
It seemed he had just received some shocking news!
"Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends!"
"The next item up for auction is nothing short of a bombshell. When I first received the news, I even doubted if my ears were playing tricks on me!"
"But after being verified by our professionals—"
"It's real!"
"It has truly appeared at our auction!"
The host's introduction successfully kept some of those who were about to leave.
With the last bit of patience and curiosity.
If it turned out to be as mundane as the previous items...
It was likely that more than half of the buyers would leave.
"Without further ado!"
"The item up for auction is—"
"The Borisin War Chief, Hoolay!!!"
!!!???
As soon as these words were spoken.
The venue fell silent for two seconds!
Then.
The entire place erupted in chaos!
Everyone, whether they had planned to leave or not, stood up!
Doubting whether their ears or eyes were playing tricks on them!
Instinctively wanting to get closer.
To see clearly what was on the stage!
"Huh?"
"Did I hear that right?"
"Isn't this the BOSS from Honkai: Star Rail? How did he end up at this auction?"
"I was just watching the storyline! Hoolay was dominating the scene, unruly and incredibly powerful! And now you're telling me he's being auctioned off as a commodity?"
"This can't be sold!"
"Wait! I'm a bit confused! Wasn't Hoolay imprisoned in The Shackling Prison? How did he end up here?"
"Damn, who's this ruthless?"
"Holy cow! This is the most outrageous auction item I've seen in this Amber Era!"
"Are you sure this is the real Borisin War Chief, Hoolay!?"
