Chapter 895: Enhanced Warstar!

Depressed! Extremely depressed!

This seemed to have been an intricately planned outcome. No matter what item Independent College put out, no one would care to bat an eye, while no matter how common an item Fig Star Academy put up for auction, it would always end up being aggressively bidded on by the employees!

In the blink of an eye, twenty items had been auctioned off, with Fig Star Academy having earned 260 million points against Independent College's zero!

This was practically an unbelievable gap!

The faces of the Elderly Eleven from Independent College had turned as pale as ghosts. It was very apparent that Fig Star Academy was using its influence, practically pooling everyone's points, to deal a fatal blow on them!

"It's over! Completely over!" A professor from Independent College, who had lost his spirit, was bemoaning his fate, overwhelmed by disappointment.

Everyone knew that the next to appear would be the Antimatter Ray; the moment this equipment appeared, which was largely regarded across the Law Realm as a super first-class killer weapon, it would most definitely cause an even crazier flurry of bids to pour in. As such, given how the average items so far could be auctioned off for a total of 260 million points, there was no doubt that the Antimatter Ray would at least go for 500 million points!

There was only one final item left on the side of Independent College, which was Xia Fei's AI warbot—a powerful weapon capable of replicating law power. However, would this one robot alone be enough to bridge this over 700 million points difference?

Crucially, the entire company was standing on the star academy's side right now, and no matter how outstanding Xia Fei's prized work was, the fear that no one would care to even place a bid on it still stood.

Gritting his teeth, Old Flynn clenched his fists and got up, looking like a wild, old wolf that was about to charge over and kamikaze those who were ridiculing him.

Xia Fei reached out and held him back, saying gravely, "Don't give up till the very last second! We haven't lost just yet."

Flynn let out a bitter laugh. He looked at his comrades from Independent College, who were all hanging their heads down in defeat, and painfully said, "Do you still believe that we have hope of turning the tables on them? Look around you; the three giants of the star academy have exerted their influence and are fully in control of this auction! We'll only be debasing ourselves further by continuing to wait!"

Xia Fei flashed him a slight smile but remained firm. "Just think about it. This is a situation already within our expectations. Are the board of directors fools? How come they don't know just how powerful the star academy is?"

Flynn was startled and asked in a low voice, "Do you mean that the board of directors still have some considerations?"

Xia Fei did not give an answer. He turned on the screen and pointed at a few of the selected names on the list displayed and said, "Look here. These are people who have never once appeared in the company's files, yet they could participate in this auction. This means that, aside from the influence of the star academy and Independent College, there's still a third party! It's the lynchpin that decides the outcome."

Flynn quickly stared at the screen and carefully examined the list. He had not expected that, while he and his colleagues were being upset and frustrated, Xia Fei had very calmly analyzed the list of every participant of the auction, and he had even used the system search function to pick out a group of strangers who were not on the company files!

His face was a little red, most likely from realizing the gap between him and Xia Fei. They were both stuck in the same predicament, and while Flynn and the others let their frustration get the better of them, it was Xia Fei who spent every second of the time analyzing the situation; he had even found the time to implement his own line of thinking!

This was what it meant never to give up! Even if it was just a sliver of chance, Xia Fei was the sort who would find it by all means and subsequently utilize it as best as he could!

By comparison, these professors from Independent College had led much longer lives than Xia Fei, yet they were nowhere near him in terms of tenacity.

"Could these anonymous people be part of the board of directors?" Flynn returned to his seat and asked in a hurry.

Xia Fei shook his head. "There's no need for the board of directors to use anonymous accounts. It is my belief that they are perhaps the most mysterious group in the entire company: Pinnacle."

"PINNACLE?!" Flynn nearly blurted the word out loud. The Pinnacle Research Team was not just mysterious, it was practically a legend in the company!

A group of heaven-defying scientists who made up the strongest research team in the known universe. No one had any idea what topics the Pinnacle Research Team dabbled in, nor did anyone even have proof of their existence!

If Research Division 1 was considered a scientist's heaven, then the Pinnacle Research Team would be considered the god in that heaven! This was by no means an exaggeration!

"Pinnacle. The Pinnacle team has their eye on this auction, so what should we do?" Flynn was rather advanced in his years, but hearing the word 'Pinnacle' had gotten him trembling with excitement, which was enough to see just how mighty that superteam of scientists was.

With a firm gaze, Xia Fei solemnly replied, "We'll deal with the changes as they come! Trust m; Pinnacle will be no more than floating clouds when in front of the AI warbot!"

Color drained from Flynn's face. Xia Fei was being rather tyrannical to claim the legendary Pinnacle team as just clouds!

"Next shall be the penultimate item for today's auction, and due to the fact that this auction item is very important, we've invited the president of Fig Star Academy, Laika, to give everyone a demonstration person
