Chapter 148: Auction House
Leaving Flander, Ling Mo directly returned to the dormitory!
Ning Rongrong didn’t know where she had run off to, and in the dormitory, only Zhu Zhuqing was cultivating on the Cold Jade Bed.
“You’re back? How did the discussion go?”
Seeing the room door open, Zhu Zhuqing woke from her cultivation state, and upon seeing it was Ling Mo, she revealed a gentle smile.
“What else could it be! Just like that…”
Ling Mo wasn’t in a hurry; in a few days, Flander would give him a reply.
“Where did Rongrong go?”
“I don’t know, she probably went out!”
Ning Rongrong ran back and forth between the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School and Shrek Academy every day, and Zhu Zhuqing didn’t know where she went either.
“Alright! Let’s go out for a stroll; it’s been a long time since I properly accompanied you…”
Ling Mo gently took Zhu Zhuqing’s arm, suddenly feeling like he owed her a lot.
“You still know that? I thought you’d forgotten about me…”
Zhu Zhuqing kept a cold face, pretending to be icy as she said.
“Hehe, let’s go! These few days, I’m not going anywhere, just accompanying you…”
Saying that, he directly helped her up, and the two left Shrek Academy together.
Arriving at Heaven Dou City, Ling Mo and Zhu Zhuqing strolled for half a day; she wasn’t like Ning Rongrong, who went crazy when shopping.
Instead, she was very quiet and rarely looked at the things nearby.
“Hm? Auction House?”
Suddenly, Ling Mo noticed a huge building ahead, with the five big words Heaven Dou Auction House written on it.
“How about we go in and take a look?”
Ling Mo asked tentatively; Zhu Zhuqing didn’t refuse—as long as it was something Ling Mo liked, she liked it too.
“Mm…”
“Let’s go! Take a look; maybe we can pick up some good thing…”
Saying that, the two headed toward the Auction House.
“Hello, please show your Distinguished Guest card…”
“Distinguished Guest card?”
As soon as they reached the entrance, Ling Mo was stopped; the guard standing in front of him said expressionlessly.
“Yes, to enter the Auction House, you need a Distinguished Guest card, or perhaps something that can be auctioned…”
The guard said coldly, without any emotional fluctuation.
“Fine! Appraise this thing and sell it…”
Ling Mo didn’t get entangled and directly took out a Zhuge Divine Crossbow; it was just right to sell something and make some money.
“This way please…”
The staff member didn’t take the Zhuge Divine Crossbow but led Ling Mo inside.
It seemed they needed to evaluate the Zhuge Divine Crossbow to see what price it was worth.
Entering a room, soon the staff brought in a middle-aged man; from his appearance, this person should be the Person in Charge of this Auction House.
“Hello, what thing do you need to auction?”
Supervisor Ai Luo said affably, not expressionless like the previous staff member.
“This…”
Ling Mo didn’t stand on ceremony and directly placed the Zhuge Divine Crossbow on the table.
Ai Luo looked at the small box doubtfully and found it seemed to have nothing special.
“Mister, what effect does this thing have?”
The Auction House would evaluate items in advance before auctioning them to figure out what was special about these things.
Otherwise… auctioning them rashly could easily cause problems.
“This is a Hidden Weapon! Called the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. It has an extremely strong attack effect; against Soul Masters below level 50, it can achieve instant kill…”
At these words, Ai Luo was immediately shocked and flustered, unable to believe that this small toy in front of him could have such a powerful attack effect.
“Mister, don’t joke; I may not have much knowledge, but I’m not completely ignorant…
Soul Sects below level 50, even Soul Venerables, have defense that’s not weak at all; can a small box easily penetrate a Soul Master’s defense?”
Ai Luo really couldn’t believe it and thought Ling Mo was making fun of him.
“If you don’t believe it, you can try…”
Ling Mo smiled playfully, sat down with Zhu Zhuqing, and left the rest to them to test slowly.
Ai Luo didn’t get entangled either; nothing was better than testing it personally—seeing is believing.
He pressed a button, and suddenly… a steel plate appeared in the room, a very thick steel plate, enough to compare to the defense of a Soul Sect level.
“Mister, how do you use this?”
Ai Luo held the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, not knowing how to test it, so he had to ask Ling Mo.
“Aim at the steel plate and pull the trigger; very simple…”
Ling Mo didn’t take it and just said that; Ai Luo understood.
“You come over…”
Ai Luo didn’t test it himself but called over a staff member.
He was very cautious; those who reached his position all had some self-preservation awareness.
The staff member came over, hesitated, took the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, and fired at the wall.
Instantly… three short arrows shot out.
Leaving only whooshing sounds in the air, three in a row.
Bang…
The three short arrows undoubtedly hit the steel plate directly and, under everyone’s gaze, penetrated it as if it were nothing.
“This…”
Ai Luo was completely shocked, rubbed his eyes, and looked incredulously at the steel plate, then at the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
Such a simple box actually had such a powerful attack effect?
This was a steel plate that could compare to a Soul Sect, even a Soul King’s defense, and it was penetrated just like that.
“Such a small box actually possesses such powerful attack power; it’s too perverted.”
Ai Luo tremblingly took the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, walked to the steel plate, looked at the clearly visible hole, and could no longer stay calm.
Wait…
Through the hole, he clearly saw that the three short arrows had pierced through the thick steel plate and were directly embedded in the wall behind.
“This… this… this is what perverted Divine Artifact!”
Ai Luo excitedly said “this” three times, his heart surging like turbulent waves.
“How is it? Does this Hidden Weapon catch your eye?”
From behind, Ling Mo said casually; he wasn’t worried at all that the Zhuge Divine Crossbow wouldn’t sell.
Any Tang Sect Hidden Weapon was an extremely precious treasure in this world.
Others would scramble to buy it, and Ling Mo might not even sell.
“Mister, this… what is this thing called?”
Ai Luo said excitedly, his tone trembling.
“Zhuge Divine Crossbow!”
“What a unique name…” Ai Luo held the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, unable to put it down.
He even wanted to keep this Hidden Weapon for himself, but unfortunately… the Auction House had its rules; he didn’t have the ability or the wealth.
“Mister, this Hidden Weapon will be auctioned as the finale treasure at today’s auction!”
“Finale? Mm… fine!”
Ling Mo had no objection; generally, finales were real treasures, and the auction price would be higher.
Hopefully, they’d meet someone who knew its value!
“Mister, please follow me; I’ll take you to the private room!”
Ai Luo now became very respectful and no longer dared to underestimate Ling Mo.
Could someone who could take out such a treasure be someone without background?
Obviously not; Ai Luo had been around for so many years and had trained a pair of eyes to judge people and things; from Ling Mo’s speech, behavior, and some expression features, he was clearly no ordinary youth.
If he were really ordinary, he couldn’t act so calm.
“Let’s go…”
Ling Mo stood up, and Zhu Zhuqing silently followed him.
This time coming to the Auction House, she was just accompanying Ling Mo to take a look; she wasn’t very interested in the matters inside.
The three walked one after another to a private room; from here, they could clearly see everything happening below.
