Douluo: Peerless Righteous Douluo
Page 105
Then he continued to lead the way, and two girls in golden skirts came up and invited everyone into Gate No. 7.
The space inside the room is not small, roughly estimated to be around 200 square meters. Its interior decoration and design are full of style, luxury and elegance.
It’s not the feeling of being a nouveau riche, but a sense of being truly wealthy and having a solid foundation.
Lin Yi's status in Shrek was not low, but he had never enjoyed such conditions. After all, the people in Shrek were not all rough guys, but their minds were full of cultivation and glory. When it came to enjoyment, the imperial royal family and nobles with a thousand-year heritage were better.
Lin Yi fell comfortably on the large sofa. The feeling of almost sinking his entire body into it yet being firmly supported made him very satisfied.
Looking around, I saw a long wall without any decoration, which was completely white and crystal clear.
"Ms. Qingya, is that wall the display screen?"
Qingya looked at Lin Yi in surprise, and then realized that it was the actual leader of Shrek who was discovered earlier, and her attitude became more respectful.
"VIPs have good eyesight."
The two girls in golden dresses stepped forward and pressed lightly on the wall, and the wall actually slowly turned into a screen.
"Is this a soul guide?"
He Caitou couldn't help but exclaim.
Qingya explained, "This is a light guide screen. We at the Starlight Auction House specially ordered it from the Sun and Moon Empire to provide you, our distinguished guests, with better service."
Qingya then continued to explain the rules and bidding methods of this auction to everyone. At the same time, the optical screen gradually lit up.
A soft golden light filled the entire room, attracting everyone's attention.
At Wang Yan's invitation, Qingya also sat on the sofa, but her attitude remained respectful.
"Dear guests, the auction is about to begin."
The golden light on the soul guide screen gradually converged, and a pleasant female voice came from the screen.
"Starlight Auction House welcomes all distinguished guests. To satisfy you, we have specially prepared nine lots, which will be displayed in ascending order of value. We hope you will enjoy them and secure the items you desire."
The screen became completely clear, and a girl in a red dress appeared in it. She was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with blonde hair and extremely beautiful looks. Because of the age difference, she was even more beautiful than Jiang Nannan.
"Hello everyone, I'm today's auctioneer Jiujiu. The auction has officially begun. Please take a look at the first item."
With the appearance of a complex yet elegant royal etiquette, the identity of this person was self-evident. It was none other than Her Royal Highness Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Xingluo Royal Family.
Everyone in the room was surprised when they knew his identity, but that was all. After all, even the emperor had nothing to do with them. He was just here to participate in a competition.
Come to the competition, win, and leave. Everything else can be ignored. Shrek students are so arrogant.
The first item has already appeared on the screen.
"The eighth-level melee soul guide weapon, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, was produced by the Mingde Hall of the Sun and Moon Empire. It was crafted from a piece of ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, and its solidified soul skill, Tyrant Blade Slash..."
After listening to the long introduction, Dai Yuheng's breathing became heavy and he was obviously moved.
He Caitou, who had the deepest knowledge of soul guides among the people present, stepped forward to observe and explain their advantages and disadvantages. No one asked where Mingde Hall was. Shrek's knowledge of soul guides was not gained in vain, so understanding the holy land of soul guides was naturally of paramount importance.
Soon, the viewing time was up. "The starting price for the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade is 600,000 Gold Soul Coins. Each bid must be no less than 5,000 Gold Soul Coins. If no one bids within one minute, the transaction will be completed. Now, the bidding begins."
The screen changed, the items became the background, and the words "Six Hundred Thousand" appeared on the screen.
Before Dai Yaoheng could make a bid, a voice rang out in the room.
"one million."
A maid in a golden dress came forward to operate, and the numbers on the screen changed immediately. The number one million appeared in large letters on it. The direct price increase of four hundred thousand made the screen freeze for a moment, and it was obvious that it was stunned.
"Brother Lin Yi, what are you doing?"
Dai Yueheng was puzzled. He and Lin Yi had a pretty good relationship, and the previous incident with Dai Huabin had brought them even closer. This Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword was obviously very suitable for him, and Dai Yueheng did not hide his excitement, but Lin Yi suddenly appeared and asked for a high price.
The other students also looked at Lin Yi in confusion.
Lin Yi pulled himself out of the sofa where he had been sinking deeply, his face serious. "Didn't Senior Dai say earlier that he planned to graduate and join the army after this competition? We're classmates and comrades-in-arms, so I had to give you a parting gift. I was just wondering what to choose, and then this Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade came to me. I thought it was providence, so I bought it as a gift for Senior Dai."
Dai Yuheng's expression changed. A seven-figure graduation gift?
If Dai Yuheng didn't know this junior's personality, he would have doubted his intentions. He was so generous, was he trying to make him stand up...
Pooh!
Dai Yuheng secretly cursed himself for being so dirty, how could he even think of that kind of thing!
Looking at Lin Yi, Dai Yueheng was very touched, "Junior Lin Yi, this gift is so precious."
Lin Yi casually picked up a small fruit from the table. It looked like a grape. He put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. "It's just an early graduation gift. Senior, you don't have to be polite. It's just a small amount of money."
Everyone in the room twitched their lips. Seven figures is a small amount of money? You're the only one who can pretend!
Chen Zifeng and Xu Sanshi came up to Lin Yi at some point, hugging Lin Yi's thighs on the left and right, "Boss, we want gifts too."
Lin Yi rolled his eyes. Chen Zifeng is fine, but Xu Sanshi, you are shameless. The Xuanming Sect makes a fortune just by selling the Xuanshui Pill, not to mention the Xuanwu Divine Pill. You are the young master of the Xuanming Sect, and you are crying poor to me here!
Although the others were a little surprised, they were also quite wealthy and didn't think much of it. Only Jiang Nannan had a flash of pain in her eyes. If she had such financial resources, why would her mother...
And why did she have to use herself as a bargaining chip in the first place?
Looking at Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan's eyes kept changing and becoming increasingly complicated.
Lin Yi naturally ignored all this. Seeing the numbers on the screen jumping, it was obvious that someone else had taken action.
There is no idea of adding a little bit. When you have enough financial resources, you don’t need to worry about any skills at the auction. All the skills ultimately come down to one word: poverty!
Is Lin Yi poor?
Do you understand the value of a monopoly in the high-end luxury industry?
Hence, “two million.”
He bid the price easily and spat out a fruit core, as if to express his disdain.
Chapter 138 Ice Explosion
Without any surprise, the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Sword was taken by Lin Yi.
The price of two million has exceeded the limit of this soul guide. Not everyone is like Lin Yi, who treats money as nothing.
Xu Jiujiu, dressed in a red dress, reappeared on the screen and bowed slightly. "Thank you to all the distinguished guests who bid just now for supporting the Starlight Auction House. Congratulations to the distinguished guest who successfully bid on the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Knife."
"Now, let's look at the second lot. Although it's a disposable item, our auction house has put a lot of effort into putting together this set."
The screen changed, and twelve fixed-type soul guide shells appeared in it, but the colors were slightly different.
Xu Jiujiu's voice echoed in the room. "These twelve fixed-type soul guide shells represent different attributes: water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, poison, frost, metal, lightning, explosion, and paralysis. They are also produced by Mingde Hall. They are sixth-grade top-grade fixed-type soul guide shells. Their power is no less than that of seventh-grade ones, but they can be fired from sixth-grade fixed-type soul guide cannons. I believe that you all understand what this means."
Listening to the introduction, Lin Yi became interested. Shrek's fixed-type soul guide shell technology was actually average, and previously it could only reach level six. It was after Lin Qingxuan was seriously injured that he switched to soul guide equipment and learned it by using the method of disguise to go to the Sun and Moon Empire incognito.
However, the knowledge about advanced fixed-type soul guide shells is high-end blockade knowledge, and Lin Qingxuan spent a lot of effort to learn only a part of it.
He was even nearly discovered by the Sun-Moon Empire, and in the end, Shrek secretly sent out strong men to bring him back.
After that, Lin Qingxuan devoted himself to research for a long time before he figured out the method of making the seventh-level fixed-type soul guide cannon shells. However, both the time spent and the rare metals consumed were several times that of the Sun and Moon sides. Although it took many years of research, it was better, but it was still higher than the Sun and Moon sides.
The first eighth-level fixed-type soul guide cannonball in Lin Yi's hand was actually the first eighth-level fixed-type soul guide cannonball in Shrek's history.
The various rare metals consumed are almost half of a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell. You can imagine the consumption.
The reason why the academy is willing to provide students with eighth-level fixed-type soul guide shells is that, on the one hand, the academy has been researching and producing them, and there are indeed a few in excess. On the other hand, the academy has also set requirements and restrictions. Only a few of the few can get them, and they can only be given to a few valued students.
As for other students, level seven is already enough. After years of research and production, they still have some foundation.
Lin Qingxuan also made a fortune from this. The seventh and eighth level fixed-type soul guide shells were all developed by him alone. Although he handed them over to the academy, the same thing applies: just because they are his own people, he should give them more, even if it is just for others to see.
Therefore, every time the academy made a seventh-level or eighth-level fixed-type soul guide shell, it had to pay Lin Qingxuan a patent fee. Otherwise, how could Lin Qingxuan, a seventh-level soul guide at the time, earn 100 million or 200 million yuan a year? The production and other expenses were just trifles, and the patent was the big part.
This also shows the economic acumen of Lin Qingxuan and his wife. One is a popular patent, and the other is a high-end monopoly, both of which are highly profitable industries with high gold content.
Let's get back to the topic. Although the quality of these twelve pieces is a bit low, their research value is still not low. It would be better to take a picture of them and treat them as special products brought back from the competition. After so many years, I have never given my father a gift. Lin Yi felt a little sorry for his father.
When he looked at the cannonball again, there was a determination in his eyes that he would not let it go.
I want these twelve shells. Even the king of heaven can’t take them away from me!
The bidding has already begun, with a starting price of 650,000.
Just as he was about to make a bid, he was stopped by Wang Yan.
Lin Yi looked at Wang Yan with a dangerous look in his eyes. Are you the king of heaven?
Wang Yan shook his head slightly, "I know you want it, but there's no rush to take a look first."
Lin Yi, who had golden perception, could still tell good from bad. He heard the hidden meaning in Wang Yan's words, and it seemed that he was not very optimistic about the auction of the soul guide shell.
This is indeed the case. The auction of the fixed-type soul guide shells was a bit cold, and no one even bid at the reserve price.
Obviously, not everyone is like Lin Yi who would give a custom-made soul guide shell to his father as a special gift.
It was not until the end of the minute that Lin Yi, at Wang Yan's suggestion, added another move and successfully won.
Even if Lin Yi didn't want to admit it, this Wang Yan was indeed something.
Wang Yan was a bit stunned. He made a five sign, asking Lin Yi to raise the price by the minimum of five thousand. Who told you to raise it by fifty thousand? This was a spendthrift who treated money like it was nothing!
But fifty thousand is indeed similar to five thousand to Lin Yi. Both his parents are high-income earners, and he is the only son, so he has been spoiled since childhood.
Moreover, Lin Yi's own wealth was not low. Apart from anything else, he also had a bunch of high-quality spirit bones stored with Moon...
In addition, the family members have low ambitions and spend less than they earn, which is indeed a headache.
Lin Yi made bids for the next items one after another and won all five pieces.
They are a left arm bone, a right arm bone, a left leg bone, an extremely rare metal, which Lin Yi plans to use to refine something, and a powerful soul guide.
That soul guide was an eighth-level long-range soul guide named the Creation Cannon. Its use was extremely demanding, requiring a Titled Douluo-level expert to operate it. Although it came from the Sun-Moon Empire, it was not produced by Mingde Hall, but by a powerful ninth-level soul guide.
Its power is extremely terrifying, and one strike is equivalent to a full-strength strike from a Super Douluo. The reason it is level eight is because the materials are slightly inferior and it can only be used once a day.
Xu Jiujiu called it an eighth-level soul guide with a ninth-level core magic array.
Lin Yi didn't care about these. He was thinking about whether he could strengthen it with the method of soul weapon. After all, the foundation was a little weak. By melting some strong metal into it with the method of soul weapon, could he improve the material of this soul guide and make it a real ninth-level soul guide?
Of course, it is definitely difficult, but the restriction that only Titled Douluo can use it makes Lin Yi not anxious. He is only at the fourth ring, and Lin Yi estimates that he does not need to wait until he is titled. According to the ultimate attribute, the seventh ring means the combat power of the title, so he, a seventh-ring Soul Saint, should be able to use it.
By then, when the upgrade is complete, even if there is still a limit on the number of times, a few attacks comparable to a Super Douluo's full-strength attack will be enough to change the situation of the battle.
Lin Yi was daydreaming here, while the others were secretly shocked.
Just now, Lin Yi made a series of moves. The first one was the Overlord Soul Refining Sword, worth two million, the second one was the fixed-type soul guide shell, worth seven hundred thousand, the third one was the left leg, worth four million, the fourth one was the rare metal, worth two million and three hundred thousand, the fifth one was the right arm bone, worth five million, the sixth one was the left arm bone, worth six and a half million, and the seventh one was the Creation Run, worth seven and a half million.
All the items that have appeared in this auction so far have been bought by Lin Yi, spending a total of 28 million.
This number not only made the maid in the golden skirt look at Lin Yi with surprise, but also made the students who were with him look at each other in shock.
How much money did Lin Yi bring with him? This question is on almost everyone's mind.
Among these people, the only one who was sober was probably Qingya, because she knew that she had no chance at all, and even if she spoke rashly, she might lose her current dignity. Therefore, Qingya, who was very clear-headed, had a clear mind and kept a sincere smile, ready to answer everyone's questions or provide various services at any time.
Among the selected candidates, Chen Zifeng had the best relationship with Lin Yi. He finally couldn't help but ask, "Junior Lin Yi, how much money did you bring that made you squander it like this?"
Lin Yi, who had come back to his senses, said casually, "My mother said that a poor family means a rich journey, so she gave me 50 million before I left."
"Good boy, you've spent more than half of that in just a moment."
Lin Yi shook his head. "Not even half of it. Over the years, I've saved up more than two thousand, close to three thousand in pocket money."
Everyone was stunned.
Hearing about pocket money, Chen Zifeng cautiously asked, "Two thousand gold soul coins?"
Lin Yi looked at him like a fool and said, "What are you thinking? Twenty million, two thousand is gone without a meal..."
But although Master Lin said it casually, everyone was moved to tears. Boss, is it necessary for you to carry nearly 100 million gold soul coins just to go out for a competition?
Just as I was about to say more, another item appeared.
The finale item is still a soul bone.
Beibei suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Yi, "Ayi, I remember you didn't want to absorb soul bones for the time being? Why did you buy those soul bones?"
Lin Yi advised earnestly, "Old Bei, your idea is wrong. Gold Soul Coins, no matter how many there are, are just numbers. But soul bones are hard to come by. Although the quality of these soul bones can only be described as average, even inferior to the one at the treasure appreciation meeting, their age is enough to make up for some of the shortcomings."
"In the world of soul masters, especially high-level soul masters, do you think soul bones or gold soul coins are more popular?"
"That's naturally a soul bone."
Lin Yi smiled. "That's right. Exchange the gold soul coins, which are just numbers, for resources when appropriate, and use them as nutrients to strengthen yourself when needed. This is the correct way to use gold soul coins. If you just pile up a bunch of gold soul coins and leave them there, even if they form a mountain, they're still useless waste. Money is what you spend. Remember this."
On the screen, Xu Jiujiu was introducing the soul bone.
