Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields

At the auction.

The female auctioneer walked cautiously to the bathtub, holding a small device the size of a lighter in her hand.

Then, the crackling sound of electricity began.

When she saw the liquid start to bubble, she immediately wanted to stop, but...

A long tentacle resembling an elephant's trunk flew out from the bathtub, wrapped around her, then lifted her up and pulled her towards the bathtub.

The female auctioneer struggled and screamed, then fell silent.

About ten vine-like buds emerged from the liquid, grasping her legs and body.

Some crawled under her skirt.

She screamed, using the lighter to jab the tentacle, delivering an electric shock to it.

The liquid hissed and released her, but before she could escape, the substance flew out from the bathtub and enveloped her like a cocoon.

She electrocuted it again, and the liquid fell to the floor like water.

The female auctioneer finally escaped.

"Is this thing a perverted tentacle?!"

Lin Yi noticed that a lot of buyers immediately started bidding for this creature.

The price soared to forty thousand coins within seconds, and it kept rising!

The female auctioneer ran to the edge of the stage, watching in terror as the lump of liquid gradually took shape, turning into… herself!

Within seconds, they were entirely indistinguishable.

The only difference was their clothing, and the other creature's skin… was deep blue.

The creature examined its body then deliberately melted its own clothes away.

The bid rose to fifty thousand coins!

Its hands began exploring its new body continuously, creating many vines, and then...

"This is a sex monster!" Piero excitedly said, "It's so exciting!"

The price had already risen to sixty thousand coins!

"Boss! You have to buy it, I'm begging you! I'm begging you!"

"Why buy it? Do you want to be harassed by that monster? I never knew you had such a kink… hey, it even likes that kind of play! Wow! Now it's even dragging that girl in! Damn!"

Nine people were staring at the screen.

Da Chuan adjusted the camera, finding the best angle.

The stage basically turned into a performance, with the creature using the "tentacles" Piero mentioned, pleasing itself while also satisfying the poor female auctioneer...

The bids kept rising!

Until it reached one hundred twenty thousand coins!

Soon, the auction manager realized that the price wouldn't rise any further, so he called for security.

Security used tasers to drive the creature back into the bathtub and sealed it inside.

Someone brought the auctioneer a new dress.

She wiped away her tears and continued hosting the auction, earning an extra ten thousand coins from the audience.

The creature was ultimately sold for one hundred thirty thousand coins, which was six and a half times its starting price...

After the creature was sold, the female host announced a five-minute break to prepare for the next item.

The men in Lin Yi's private room began discussing the strange creature, unanimously agreeing that Piero was an incorrigible pervert.

He had even fewer limits than the old lecher Louis!

None of them wanted to be in the auctioneer's situation, yet Piero desperately wanted to buy the creature…

The break ended quickly.

The curtain rose.

Revealing the beautiful auctioneer and… a dragon?

It was at least as big as when Da Chuan turned into a dragon.

"Now this is interesting!" Lin Yi said.

He already had a dragon, and it was very useful.

What if he had two dragons?

Moreover, this dragon could grow bigger and stronger, able to fight alongside Da Chuan in close combat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before you is the last member of a race of intelligent creatures known as 'Sky Terror'.

It's at the third level, with immense physical strength and virus immunity, and it can fly. The starting bid is ten thousand coins."

The auctioneer finished speaking, clapped her hands, and a cart was wheeled out with a gigantic egg on it.

"This is the last egg, and with it, you can ensure the creature's total obedience. Its growth has been frozen, and it can only be unfrozen with this device. Does anyone bid ten thousand coins?"

The bidding started slowly.

On one hand, it's a powerful flying creature, but on the other hand, what if it stops obeying orders?

Of course, there's this egg as assurance, but ten thousand coins would outfit an entire army with skills and equipment…

"Thirty thousand coins." Lin Yi stepped in, inputting the price through the control panel.

But someone raised the bid by a thousand…

Then someone else raised the bid again…

"Surely someone's intentionally driving up the price."

Lin Yi considered this and didn't increase the price.

But when the female auctioneer was about to announce the sale of this item, he bid again.

This time, no one was willing to bid higher, so the dragon was sold for thirty-seven thousand coins.

The stage closed, followed by another five-minute break.

During the break, a man with bodyguards respectfully entered the room.

He handed Lin Yi a device resembling a breast expander and a certificate for his purchase,

then collected the money.

He promised to send the dragon to the shelter immediately.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the highlight of tonight… an Evolution Potion!"

A young woman and a beastman carried a rack onto the stage.

The woman held a red cushion with a small bottle on top.

"I won't waste your time, because you all know how invaluable this item is. It may not be the rarest item, but it's still extremely difficult to obtain. The starting bid is… one hundred thousand coins!"

All the buyers erupted in excitement.

The price quickly climbed to 250,000 coins, 300,000 coins, 320,000 coins...

It only slightly slowed when it reached 400,000 coins.

At this moment, Lin Yi joined the bidding.

He raised the price to 420,000 coins, but it quickly surged to 430,000 afterward.

Lin Yi merely chuckled softly at this.

If necessary, he was willing to spend a million coins to buy this potion, fearing no opponent.

The bidding was fierce, but when Lin Yi suddenly raised the bid by 50,000 coins, bringing the total to 550,000 coins, all the buyers fell silent.

They could see that Lin Yi was determined and recognized him as a formidable force.

The Sea of Space-Time has been a battleground for tens of thousands of years.

No one could guarantee that what they bought today wouldn't be plundered by someone else tomorrow.

50,000 coins?

That's the resources for several armies...

"Sold! To the mysterious buyer in Private Room 16!"

The female auctioneer called out enthusiastically and then waved her hand, indicating that the main event was approaching.

"Next, we have a special auction item!

Just before the auction began today, we acquired a truly rare item, so we will conclude today's auction with it.

I am honored to present to you...

A Resurrection Vaccine!

This is a miraculous medicine that can revive those who have become zombies or completely eradicate the virus from the bitten, regardless of the virus's level.

But... that's not all!

Believe it or not, today we have not one, but two Resurrection Vaccines! They are being auctioned as one item, starting at 60,000 coins.

Come on! This is truly something good!"

As the auctioneer's words fell, the entire hall erupted once again,

Who wouldn't want a second chance?

This is the Sea of Space-Time, a place where battles never cease.

No matter how strong you are, if you don't have something to grant you temporary immunity, even the weakest zombie could take your life with one bite...

Lin Yi watched the bids climb higher, reaching 200,000 coins in just three minutes!

At this moment, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

The man from before returned, bringing the potion and certificate and requested payment.

Lin Yi made a direct transfer from his shelter's account.

After the man left, Lin Yi decisively drank the potion, gaining an extra Skill Point.

However, he wasn't ready to use this Skill Point just yet.

A soldier shouted, "Boss! It's up to 250,000 coins already!"

"Is it? That's awesome!"

But before he could finish his words, the entire port suddenly shook violently...

[Alert!]

The Space-Time Port is under attack by space-time demons!

The port's leader will reward anyone who helps defend the port generously.

Repeated...

The Space-Time Port is under attack by space-time demons!

[The port's leader will reward anyone who helps defend the port generously!]

The building shook violently, cracks appeared on the ceiling, and terrifying flying creatures swarmed in like locusts through the gaps.

These monsters came in various shapes and appearances, but they all had dark skin and wings.

The creatures hissed and shoved each other, filled with excitement and bloodlust, flying around the massive room in search of prey.

Solomon's voice carried a trace of panic: "What should we do, boss?"

"Let's go, what bad luck..."

"Boss! We've seen the news... currently, it's quiet inside the shelter, but what should we do? Should we go over to support?"

Hubert also spoke anxiously over the radio.

The boss was everything to the shelter; if something happened to him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In contrast, Lin Yi remained very composed.

"Evacuate everyone to the castle! Get all the weapons ready... these creatures can fly... by the way, have the slaves I paid for all been delivered?"

"All except the dragon have arrived."

"...Alright, tell everyone not to get themselves killed, understand what I mean?"

"You too, we're waiting for your return!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi laughed heartily.

He looked at his nine subordinates, handed each one a weapon, and his expression turned serious.

"Load up the bullets and get ready for battle! We need to carve out a path of blood to return to the shelter!"

"Yes, boss!"

The auction hall now resembled a slaughterhouse, with the walls and floor splattered with blood.

No matter where they looked, they could hear the gasps, cries, roars before death, and the sound of bones breaking.

The participants and spectators of the auction were almost torn apart alive.

However, many among them were powerful warriors, and despite the overwhelming number of flying monsters, they were still putting up a fierce resistance.

But there were simply too many monsters!

These creatures were in a crazed state of slaughter, seemingly unafraid at all.

They didn't even care if their comrades were accidentally injured, ruthlessly attacking the warriors amidst the pools of blood.

Some cunning monsters weren't in a hurry to attack their prey but waited for the perfect moment.

They would seize an unguarded victim amidst the chaos, fly to the ceiling, and devour them alive.

Countless monsters pounced on their prey like a school of piranhas, tearing the people to shreds.

At this moment, Malala rushed towards him.

"Lin Yi! Please help me, take me home..."
