Dominating Evolution Of The Cosmos 34 Auction

Masa Mall was indeed a large group in the Stanlos Base Camp. However, it would only be considered a rural enterprise in the eyes of the entire Blue Star realm.

The Wander City State alone had a population that was well into the hundreds of millions, while Stanlos Base Camp was home to just five million people. Moreover, Blue Star's environment was going from bad to worse, so humans' habitation there had become much more concentrated.

In the face of Duncan's inquiry, Jasmine said helplessly, "General Manager, so far none of the great n.o.bles are here. Less than 10 people from the top Fortune 500 enterprises are here, and these people are all regional representatives. Their headquarters did not even send a single person over. As for the big consortiums, none of them came either. Moreover, no one from the six major pharmaceutical groups came."

Hearing that piece of discouraging news, Duncan sighed with dismay. The great n.o.bles disdained small auctions, so their absences had been expected by Duncan. However, the absence of the big consortiums and the six major pharmaceutical groups made Duncan somewhat nervous and uncomfortable.

After all, the six pharmaceutical groups controlled nearly half of Blue Star's serum production. They also had teams comprised of more than one master pharmacist, which were currently developing new serums.

Similarly, they were also grappling with how to improve the efficacy of the Subatomic Serum. As such, many of them were disdainful about the enhanced Subatomic Serum that had been launched by the Masa Mall.

After all, they had spent huge sums of money to employ master pharmacists, who were still unable to improve the efficacy of their own product. Yet, all out of a sudden, a rural enterprise had announced that it had successfully done what they could not!

These big players knew everything about Masa Mall. The mall did not even have an independent development team of pharmacists, and the serum that they needed daily was usually obtained via their cooperation with other pharmacists. Therefore, the six major pharmaceutical groups regarded the auction at Masa Mall as mere hype, thus dismissing it entirely.

As for the presence of the Fortune 500 enterprises' representatives, they were only here because their enterprises had branches in the Wander City State. However, with just a presence of a mere ten people, it was obvious that they did not really believe in the enhanced Subatomic Serum that was being auctioned.

"Although the big consortiums and the great n.o.bles that we invited did not come, the n.o.bles and enterprises from the Wander City State were actually well-represented," reported Jasmine.

Duncan was silent, still somewhat dissatisfied with the facts that she had just relayed to him. His goal was to make Masa Mall famous, and for all humans to know that the enhanced Subatomic Serum had first emerged from the Masa Group.

"General Manager, it is time for the opening of the auction. Shall we begin?" Jasmine asked cautiously.

Duncan sighed and said, "Let's begin. It's their loss, if they don't want to come."

He still believed in his heart that the enhanced Subatomic Serum would cause a stir in Blue Star realm. Those who were absent would surely regret it. Jasmine nodded and proceeded to prepare for the opening of the auction.

On the other side, Steve had entered the auction house. He looked around at the huge s.p.a.ce, which could fill tens of thousands of people, yet saw that less than a thousand seats were filled.

For every auction that Masa Mall held in the past, the largest auction house they rented was for a maximum capacity of 1,000 people. Today, in order to increase the hype and publicity, they had deliberately rented an extremely big auction house. Unfortunately, the attendance was far less than they had antic.i.p.ated.

At that moment, the opening music of the auction sounded. As it did so, the curtain opened and the auctioneer, Roger, took his place, while the merchandise began to roll out.

In order to maximize their advertising, Masa Mall had rented a channel on the First Live Broadcast platform to broadcast the auction live. Although the big consortiums, Fortune 500 enterprises, and the great n.o.bles were not present, there would be a portion of them who would at least be watching the live broadcast.

Whitby Pharmaceutical Group headquarters was in the State of Doyle, which was formed by more than 20 city-states, the Wander City State being only one of them. Alfred Whit, the representative for the State of Doyle, had treated the invitation card that he received as trash, throwing it away immediately.

After all, there were so many small bases, just like the Stanlos Base Camp, spread all across the State of Doyle. Plus, Alfred had a mountain of things to deal with every day, so he naturally had no time to attend an event held by such a small company.

However, the enhanced Subatomic Serum that was released by the Masa Mall was something that he did consider to be worthy of his time. A such, he decided to take a moment to watch the live broadcast.

Whitby Pharmaceutical Group was one of the six major pharmaceutical groups and was also among the top 30 major enterprises in the Blue Star realm. Whitby was the first to develop the Subatomic Serum. In fact, it was because of the Subatomic Serum that they had acc.u.mulated a strong foundation and became one of the largest pharmaceutical groups.

At its peak, the Whitby family was one of the top 10 families in Blue Star, and Whitby Pharmaceutical Group was among the top three consortiums in Blue Star. However, as the patent protection period pa.s.sed, the fortune of the Whitby family gradually declined. The ranking of the Whitby Pharmaceutical then dropped to the top 30, alongside the other five major pharmaceutical groups.

They had been working on enhancing the Subatomic Serum in an attempt to recreate their past glory. However, it was a pity that there was no progress, even after many years of big investments.

"Gino, is it possible that the enhanced Subatomic Serum that was launched by the Masa Group is really legit?" asked Alfred.

Gino Whit was trained by the Whit family as a master pharmacist. He was not only responsible for researching the enhancement of the Subatomic Serum, but was also an adviser to the State of Doyle's pharmacists.

"Doubled the absorption effect, doubled the time, and had an effect on those with a level of 100% cell activation..."

Gino read the introduction aloud, immediately sneering. "Alfred, do you believe this? That's four times more potent than most, and it is said to be effective for those with a level of 100% cell activation, too!"

Alfred's facial expressions began to change. The Whitby group had been researching the Subatomic Serum for quite some time, so they would naturally understand how difficult it was to make it stronger. Other than increasing the purity level to improve the efficacy, there was simply no other way to do so.

It was already nearly impossible to double the efficacy, let alone make it four times more effective! What was even more terrifying, was that it was also effective for humans with a level of 100% cell activation to use. This especially made it extraordinarily significant!

"If it is really as described, 200,000 in original gold is considered a relatively cheap price to pay for it," Gino said.

"So Masa Group is deliberately hyping their product?" Alfred frowned. "But, I've heard that they've invited Fortune 500 enterprises, consortiums, and the great n.o.bles to the event. If it's a sham, wouldn't that ruin their reputation?"

If it was a fake, Masa Mall's reputation would definitely be dealt a heavy blow, as there would not be any company willing to collaborate with them in the future.

"Maybe they got the best Subatomic Serum from somewhere else, one that worked a little better than the perfect grade one. Therefore, they deliberately touted the operation as theirs..." Gino wagered a guess.

In any case, Gino did not believe that a small company could come up with an enhanced Subatomic Serum with such an impressive efficacy. Gino was not the only one who thought this way, either. People from other big companies, consortiums, and even the n.o.bles who were watching this live broadcast, all felt that this would turn out to be a joke.

No one believed that Masa Mall could come up with an enhanced Subatomic Serum. But, if what they were claiming was indeed true, it would be a true miracle Subatomic Serum!
