Chapter 641: Chapter 635: The Spending Spree March – Part 1

Truth to be told, the price of this Roberts Coin surpassed Finn Lewis’s expectations. Based on the price the simulated human had quoted, 444.6 billion extra star credits were added to Finn’s bank card. That is to say, within this range, Finn could spend freely. As long as he pays off the sum within a year, everything would be fine.

The number is too colossal. If the credits were to be converted into separate household currencies, two more zeroes would even be added. However, given the vast area of the Galactic Federation, its overall economic strength is naturally immense. The exact economic volume could only be described as an astronomical figure.

Finn Lewis wasn’t sure whether he could be classified as rich or not, but he personally felt wealthy now. With this enormous amount of money, how many warships could he buy? Although Finn knew that warships were not the most expensive assets – like earth’s naval ships, their production cost might be something a country could afford.

But the maintenance cost and the astronomical cost of using the supporting facilities it comes with are terrifying. Hence, warships are the same, their purchase cost may not be high, but the cost of using them is extremely horrifying. Without logistical support, even if Finn had this much money, he might not bear it for long.

But who asked Finn Lewis to have so much Roberts Coin? Nevertheless, Finn was not preparing to sell more in the short term. Although Star Bank is highly confidential about its customers, it’s almost impossible even for the Inspectorate to know the customer data of Star Bank. Not unless there is sufficient evidence and the approval of the Federation Court and other relevant institutions is obtained.

Even so, the only information the Star Bank provides is account-related data, but they will never provide other information related to the client.

But for people who don’t know, Star Bank knows for sure. Finn felt it’s safer for him to keep a low profile, so for a while, Finn won’t be selling more Roberts Coins again. However, this money is more than enough for Finn to squander.

After leaving the meeting room, the simulated human returned to its normal state. Dunn Monty and others naturally wouldn’t ask what business Finn took care of there, but they had some inkling that Finn Lewis had more means than they knew.

Otherwise, could you tell me where Finn got his star credits from? Keep in mind that Dunn Monty and his crew could barely scrape together star credits, while Finn, someone who had not left Earth before, had loads. Dunn Monty and Thomas Calvin started guessing, taking into account the obvious extraterrestrial technology Finn had.

After exiting Star Bank, Finn Lewis didn’t linger everywhere and headed back to his hotel, waiting for the auction taking place in the evening. It could be said that this was his first step in getting accustomed to the new society.

When the night came, John Jenkins, whom Finn had met before, came again to invite Finn to their auction. Finn didn’t decline the invitation and followed John Jenkins to the auction site, which was within the same colossal building.

When they arrived at the auction, Finn discovered that they didn’t enter from the main entrance but from a side door. “Mr. Lewis, this is your box number. In the box, you can see the auction scene. If you want to bid, you can operate it directly from the device in the room. Of course, we have cooperations with banks related to Death Star and Star Bank. You can link your bank card information to the related system of Star Bank.”

“The price you called, as long as you can pay, Star Bank’s assessment system will automatically evaluate, and if it is possible, your bid will take effect.” John Jenkins led Finn to the entrance of a box and said with a smile.

“Thank you, Mr. Jenkins,” Finn chuckled as well.

John Jenkins shook his head modestly and then excused himself. As soon as Finn and others stepped into the box, Dunn Monty and Thomas Calvin started checking if there were any surveillance devices, and in the meanwhile, Finn was appraising the interior of the box. The box wasn’t extremely large, but it was definitely not small either, it approximately had a measure of two hundred square meters.

In the facing direction, was a wall made of transparent glass, out of which one could see the auction scene John Jenkins mentioned. From here, one could clearly see the outside, but it was likely unVisible from the outside. It was pretty similar to the VIP boxes seen in football stadiums.

And Finn also took note of the so-called auction scene outside. It was dominated by a vast crowd. A crowd of thousands gathered below. However, Finn soon defined that the crowd seated below weren’t actual humans, instead, they were simulated humans, like the one he encountered in the Star Bank.

Obviously, these simulated humans at the auction were there to set the atmosphere. The actual buyers were all situated in these boxes and were the real main force of consumption. Finn felt a bit laughable at these people’s actions; wouldn’t it be much simpler to conduct an auction with everyone in the boxes? Will people still be influenced by such an atmosphere even if they know those below are all simulated humans?

“Your Highness, there’s no issue here,” Dunn Monty softly assured Finn.

“Hm, I see. We know that this event is organized by black market members, but every place has its order. As long as this auction is opened, the organizers probably won’t resort to petty tricks.” Finn nodded and replied.

“That seems about right,” Dunn Monty agreed, “But I didn’t expect the scale of this auction to be so grand. Not only are there so many people here, but there are also so many simulated humans.”

“Do these simulated humans also count?” Finn was a bit speechless.

“Um, Your Highness, you might have misunderstood. Many of these simulated humans do count. While some of them might have been deployed by the organizers to drum up the atmosphere, a significant portion of them aren’t organized by the auction organizer. They were likely dispatched by other people, who themselves would not appear here, but instead control these simulated humans remotely to participate in the auction. The auction results would be settled between the simulated humans and the auction organizer. This increases the safety for actual participants.” Dunn Monty quickly explained, he knew that Finn had misunderstood.
