Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Compatibility Test

So maybe he was some spy sent by the neighboring auction house and was using magic tools to be invisible.

As for why she was able to see him...well that even she doesn’t know.

Gu Jin focused on the host who introduced the first Plant Element Mystic Seed named Diamond.

The seed was emitting a powerful plant energy, making all the Plant Elements awakener fascinated.

"Wow! How powerful! I want this one!"

"Me too!"

"The bid starts from 8 million." The host said.

"8.5 million"

"9 million"

"9.5 million"

"10 million"

"10.5 million."

"11 million."

The moment the bid went to 11 million, everyone turned silent.

After all, Plant Element was a bit uncommon and not so powerful, hence not many people were willing to spend money on Plant Element.

The host continued to proceed with other items and finally said,

"Next up, we have Plant Element Mystic Seed named Zero."

"Huh? Zero? What a strange name."

"Why are there two plant element mystic seeds presented this time in one auction?"

"I don’t know. Anyways, I already have mine, I don’t need another one."

"Great! I didn’t get the chance to buy it in the previous round, but I finally have the chance to have one. But...why is it named Zero."

Gu Jin was curious too.

Zero...what a strange name for a Plant Element Mystic Seed.

"Before we proceed with the bidding or I tell you about this Plant Element Mystic Seed, there was a request by the seller, that needs to be fulfilled.

Interested buyers have to first test the compatibility before buying. There will be no bidding for this item, the seller has set a fixed price of 15 million. Interested people can go backstage." The host completed her words and motioned the helper to move the Mystic Seed out of the stage.

"What! 15 million? Are you crazy!"

"15 million for a Plant Element Mystic Seed is too much!"

Only a few people moved backstage.

Gu Jin too stood up and was surprised to find that the middle-aged man beside her stood up too.

"Next up we have the most treasured item. A Black Rank Elemental Resistant Pill. The bidding will start from 100 million."

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow.

The person to whom she sold the formula of Elemental Resistant Pill formula was Master Qiao of the Alchemy Tower.

But...Black Rank?

Wasn’t he on Earth Rank?

That lucky b*stard...got away easily!

Not only did he rank up, but he also was going to earn a profit of 50 million.

Gu Jin became more determined to learn alchemy.

If only she knew alchemy then instead of selling such a precious formula, she would be selling that black rank potion.

Gu Jin quietly made her way backstage and saw 9 people queuing to test the compatibility.

The middle-aged man was there too but no one paid attention to him which further confirmed her suspicion.

"Ah! Is this really a plant element mystic seed? Why do I have 0% compatibility?" A young man in expensive clothes and a delicate face said.

"Next." The staff didn’t pay much attention to the young man.

"Shit! Not even 1? Just how much arrogant this mystic seed is?"

One by one everyone took the compatibility test yet, none had the affinity.

"My god! 0% again? Hey, are you sure that your equipment is right? How could everyone have a 0% compatibility with every plant awakener??"

The staff maintained a poker face,

"Yes, it is completely fine."

When he first started to monitor this test, he too felt that maybe the glass box in which the mystic seed was present was giving the wrong compatibility percentage.

But after testing it with other mystic seeds, they realized that the equipment was right.

Even the middle-aged man also took the test secretly but, he too didn’t have any compatibility.

With a sigh, he stood aside.

From the disappointed expression on his face, Gu Jin concluded he put all the effort just to acquire this plant element mystic seed.

However, the question was...why was he trying to hide his presence?

"Don’t you all want to leave?" The staff asked. In fact, he was hinting to the audience to leave.

The young man stood there,

"No, I need to see whether or not there is any other person who has higher compatibility with this Mystic Seed."

Till now the highest compatibility was 0%.

Others nodded along with him.

The staff rolled his eyes and motioned for Gu Jin to try.

He didn’t have hope for Gu Jin. In his opinion, the problem wasn’t with the people but with the mystic seed.

This plant element mystic seed was named zero, because almost no plant element awakener had compatibility with this mystic seed more than 0%.

Gu Jin’s heart pounded as she walked towards the mystic seed.

For some reason, she was feeling very attracted to the Mystic Seed.

"Hey, young boy it’s better if you don’t touch that seed. From my experience maybe it is not a plant element mystic seed in the first place."

"Yeah. We are telling it for your own god." Someone echoed.

Gu Jin smiled,

"Really? So why don’t you take advice from me? Talk less and you will have more teeth before your death."

She saw some of these people kept on discouraging others since they failed.

"Hey bro, wanna pick a fight?"

"I don’t have time!" Gu Jin said in a lazy manner.

Gu Jin took a deep breath and placed her hand on the glass box inside which was the Mystic Seed present.

As Gu Jin’s hand made contact with the glass box containing the mysterious Plant Element Mystic Seed named Zero, a faint surge of energy pulsed through her fingertips.

It was as if a subtle connection had been established between her and the enigmatic seed.

1%... 5%... 10%...

With each passing moment, the compatibility percentage steadily increased, surpassing all previous attempts. The room fell silent, the air thick with anticipation as everyone watched in astonishment.

Finally, the display panel settled on a number that sent shockwaves through the crowd.

100%.

The atmosphere suddenly turned silent.
