“How is it Xiao Xian? Do you want to buy this Red Fish Chalcedony Pendant?”

Gu Li noticed that Chu Xian was acting out of character, and asked curiously .

“En!” Chu Xian nodded heavily, and then raised his hand . “One million and five hundred thousand rmb!”

“Okay, this gentleman offers a bid of one million and five hundred thousand? Do I hear a one million six hundred?” Mu Wen pointed at Chu Xian and called out loudly .

“One million six hundred thousand!” A middle-aged man raised his hand!

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, Chu Xian raised his hand again and without a moment of hesitation increased his offer by four hundred thousand .

“This gentleman again, two million . Is there anyone else?” The old man shouted again .

“There’s no rush . You can increase your offer slowly, and save some money!” Gu Li reminded quickly .

“It’s not a problem!” Chu Xian shook his head .

Chu Xian had a feeling that this Dunkleosteus’ blood had a special use, and just like his last system upgrade back in America, he had a feeling that this drop of blood could bring about another change to his system .

Even if he had to spend twenty million rmb, Chu Xian would pay that without hesitation to buy this Red Fish Chalcedony Pendant .

Chu Xian’s die-hard attitude made the middle-aged man shake his head .

“Two million five hundred!” Some people gave up, but there were others that still wanted the pendant, and one of them directly increased the price by five hundred thousand .

“Three million!” Chu Xian’s expression did not quaver .

Mu Wen looked with surprise at the young man beside the young master of the Gu family, and then turned to the crowd . “Three million . Are there any other takers?”

“Three million sold, to the gentleman over there . Congratulations on the successful bid on the Red Fish Chalcedony Pendant!”

The auctioneer slammed his gavel and loudly confirmed the sale .

“Success . ” Chu Xian clenched his fist tightly .

In the following auctions, Chu Xian payed little attention to the items on the stage, instead focusing on researching information on Dunkleosteus . He did not lift his head to take a look even when a piece of art with a calligraphy inscription drew a price of over a hundred million rmb .

Very quickly, the two hour auction drew to a close . They had gone through over thirty items, and even the lowest had fetched a price of over a million, and the highest had even reached over two hundred million! This first half of the day’s auctions had already reached a total of five hundred million rmb!

“Lets go . We can go downstairs and rest and eat!” After the morning auction ended, Gu Li called over to Chu Xian .

Chu Xian nodded . There was some procedures that successful bids needed to go through, but generally speaking, after payment, the winners could receive their items that afternoon .

The fourth floor of the Ancient Coin Auction House was a banquet hall . There was both Chinese and western food, and the quality of the dishes was worthy of a five star restaurant .

After lunch, Gu Li brought Chu Xian to greet some people that he knew, and then they retired to the entertainment area on the third floor to relax .

That afternoon, the auction proceeded without a hitch, and Chu Xian watched calmly as the items were sold one by one .

“Hu, it’s finally over!” After the first day’s last auction ended, Chu Xian hurriedly stood up .

“To all the bid winners, please follow the attendants to the second floor of the auction to pick up your item . Our auction house also provides a guaranteed delivery service . If you are in need of our help, please inform us in advance . Thank you again for supporting our house . ” Mu Wen said as he wrapped up the day’s auctions .

“Let’s go, Chu Xian . I’ve already had someone prepare your thing ahead of time . ” Gu Li smiled at him .

“En!” Chu Xian smiled and nodded, and then followed Gu Li downstairs .

On the lower level, handsome men and beautiful women stood around a table holding the many items, and Gu Li led him directly up to it .

Chu Xian picked up the Red Fish Chalcedony Pendant and rubbed it . His face showed his obvious happiness .

“It looks like you really like it!” Gu Li smiled and commented .

“Yes . I fell in love with this pendant at first sight!” Chu Xian laughed .

“Let’s go . Food is ready at my place, and my father and the others are there as well . They all want to meet you!” Gu Li said .

“En . ” Chu XIan nodded . Although he really wanted to check out this prehistoric fish blood, he had already agreed to the dinner, and he had no easy way to cancel .

“He spent three million on a chalcedony pendant . We can’t even make three million if we work hard and save for ten years!”

“Zhao Cheng, you lucky brat . Tomorrow when he comes, you have to hurry and grab onto his leg . He must be incredibly rich if he can spend millions on an accessory!”

As they watched Chu Xian leave, an attendant beside Zhao Cheng whispered to him . Zhao Cheng could only laugh speechlessly in reply .

Gu Li’s family lived in an old villa on the east end of Jing Hai City .

This luxurious villa was a real first for Chu Xian, and the path from the gate to the house took allowed them a scenic drive .

Gu Li’s father was sixty years old, but still very energetic, and completely imbued with the charisma of a leader .

“Xiao Xian, right? Have a seat!” The old man greeted him warmly .

Chu Xian nodded and smiled . Little Turtle had already come out of his room at his arrival, and immediately threw himself over and shouted about fishing .

The old man laughed, and said a few words of thanks . Without any obfuscation, he said that Chu Xian could come to the Gu family any time he needed help .

Chu Xian chuckled and nodded in acceptance .

After dinner, Chu Xian made up an excuse to leave the Gu’s house and checked into a hotel, tightly locked the door, and shut all the curtains .

“Hopefully it won’t disappoint!” Chu Xian found a cup, gripped the red fish chalcedony in both hands and broke it apart .

With Chu Xian’s current strength, he could easily crush normal stones, and the red fish chalcedony could only submit and crack little by little .

Chu Xian was extremely careful, and kept a tight view of everything with his god’s eye perspective . He was afraid that the moment he broke open the mineral, the blood inside would be contaminated or evaporate or face some unspeakable disaster .

But in the end, his worry was unnecessary, and after he broke open the mineral, he discovered that the blood of the Dunkelosteus was even harder than the blue chalcedony mineral surrounding it .

Chu Xian relaxed, and slowly pealed away the blue chalcedony . Very quickly, all that was left was a red fish shaped object about the size of a nail .

“Energy 2700 . I should be able to directly swallow it!” Chu Xian touched this harder than metal solidified blood, and after a moment’s hesitation, directly transformed into a fish and swallowed the blood .

“Ding . Host has swallowed the Steel Grinder- Dunkleosteus’ Blood . Gain 27 Energy!”

“Ding, Host has acquired a new gift . Steel Body!”

“Ding, the System has detected the presence of a strong genome . System will initiate upgrade!”

“It really is an upgrade, and I even got a new attribute . Insane!” As he felt the changes to his body and read the alerts from the system, Chu Xian’s expression transformed into one of astonishment .

“Steel body . ” Chu Xian twitched his body, grinding the plates of metal against each other .

He could see in his god’s eye view that his body was now covered in a layer of metallic scales . These scales were extremely tough, and made him look like a robotic fish .

“Transform back!” Chu Xian willed, and looked over his body .

“Luckily there are no metal scales on the human form, but at this point, my body can probably directly block bullets . A true blue human machine . ”

Chu Xian grabbed a drinking glass from the table and gripped it tightly . It shattered into pieces, but didn’t leave a single mark on his palm .

“Insane . I wonder what the system upgrade will bring!” Chu Xian checked the status of the system upgrade, and expectation filled his heart .

“Ding! The system has successfully upgraded . ” After half an hour, a sound rang out in Chu Xian’s mind .

Immediately after, his status appeared .

State: Fish (Can turn into a human!)

Combat Power: 4245 (Ten times less in human form)

Gift: Devour . Can swallow fish to increase energy .

Rule: Can command lower energy fish .

Warp, can use his body to wrap enemies .

Poisonous body: the body is poisonous .

Big Fish Eat Small Fish System Function:

Remold, can change the shape of self or fish under your control . (Every transformation will lower your energy or the energy of the fish you control)

Absolute Rule: Can pick from ruled fish to rule absolutely . The fish under absolute rule doesn’t have a distance limit . Current limit of absolute rule: 25 (increases by one after swallowing fifty tons of fish) .

Gene: can utilize the genes of a fish to cultivate a newborn fish .

Steel Grinder – Dunkleosteus

“What!” Looking at the two new data of the system, Chu Xian was shocked .

This system upgraded improved his combat power and allowed him to compare and analyze his combat power alongside those of the fish he encountered, allowing him to traverse the oceans much more safely .

But the real change was the appearance of a new ability, an ability that Chu Xian found almost mind-boggling .

Gene: can use acquired genes to cultivate fish . Genes are DNA fragments with hereditary information, and are the basic components that supported life and the various functions of a living being . Inside was stored the information about race, blood type, gestation, growth, death, and all the biological functions involved in these events .

Genetic modification, genetic cloning, and even a person’s susceptibility to illness and his time of death are related to genes . It could be said that if one could control genes, one could control the growth and aging of the person .

Now, the system had gained an ability to acquire and cultivate the genes of fish . In simple terms, if he acquired the genetic sequence of sharks, he could cultivate sharks; but Chu Xian still did not understand the actual procedure behind this cultivation .

“Now that I have the genes of the Steel Grinder – Dunkleosteus, I can cultivate the Dunkleosteus, a prehistoric fish and huge creature that lived in the same period as the dinosaurs!”

Chu Xian thought quietly, and when he imagined how he could cultivate this extinct tyrant of the sea, his heart thrilled .

After he successfully cultivated the Dunkleosteus, he could bring this guy with him to explore the bottom of the sea, and map out areas completely unknown to man .

Then they would unveil the legendary secrets of the sea bed, or the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle, and see whether Spongebob really lived in a pineapple under the sea . Chu Xian thought that these were all things he had to see in the future .
