Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 142 I really didn't want to become a business tycoon.
Listening to the hostess's explanation and looking at the white mask, Huo Yuhao was stunned. A Level 4 auction?
In his memory, the little girl's Conferred God Platform had fetched a sky-high price of over 100 million. It shouldn't appear at an auction of this level, right? Could it be that he's getting old and his memory is declining?

Upon entering the auction hall, the decor shifted dramatically, becoming rustic, elegant, and luxurious yet warm, creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Two hundred large chairs, upholstered in deep blue velvet, formed a curved perimeter. Because they were representing Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao and his group were seated in the first row, the closest to the auction stage.

Wang Yan reminded everyone, "Please put on your masks. Various problems can arise when participating in an auction, so the auction house provides masks to conceal guests' appearances and avoid trouble. The color of the masks also distinguishes the guests' ranks, just like our soul ring color classification. The lowest is white, and it goes upwards. Gold, which is above red, represents the auction house's top VIPs, and they generally don't appear in this kind of casually seated auction."

Upon hearing Wang Yan's reminder, Huo Yuhao was once again certain that this was indeed the lowest-level auction!

He couldn't help but feel a toothache. Damn it! All that excitement for nothing! This wasn't the auction for the little Snow Empress at all. Were there two different auctions? As Huo Yuhao wondered, he tried hard to recall if Huo Yuhao in the original story had acquired anything good at such a low-level auction.
In just a short while, the auction hall was already filled with six or seven tenths of the bidders.

"Welcome, distinguished guests, to the Starlight Auction House. Our auction is about to begin. Please take your seats." A melodious female voice echoed from all directions, and the auction hall gradually quieted down. The already dim wall lamps dimmed, while the lights on the auction stage gradually brightened, drawing everyone's attention.

Distracted by the sound, Huo Yuhao subconsciously turned his gaze to the auction hall. He saw a woman in a purple dress walk onto the auction stage from one side of the auction hall. She looked to be around thirty years old, with a dignified and beautiful appearance and a faint smile on her face. As she walked, she was graceful and elegant, and the well-tailored dress perfectly outlined her fully mature figure.

Huo Yuhao's eyebrows twitched. Heh, as expected of an auction house backed by the royal family, even the lowest-ranking auctioneers, no, even the lowest-ranking auctioneers, are so outstanding.

That figure, that face, wow, she's really matured, she's practically a carbon copy of a certain Yan.

Look at Xu Sanshi next to me, his eyes are fixed on the spot, and he keeps swallowing!
At this time, the purple-skirted auctioneer on the stage had walked behind the auction case with a smile on her face, and a soft female voice echoed softly in Auction Hall No. 12 with the help of the amplified soul guide on the auction case.

"Good evening, distinguished guests, I am Qingya, a purple-level auctioneer from Starlight Auction House, and I will be hosting the auction today."

After speaking, she walked out from behind the auction table, smiled and bowed to the audience, her deep cleavage immediately winning a round of applause.

Returning to the table, Qingya smiled slightly and said, "Today's auction is a special session for Soul Tools, and all the items are Soul Tools below level six. They are suitable for Soul Masters and Soul Guidance Masters with cultivation levels of Soul King or below. In addition, to ensure that all our distinguished guests have a worthwhile experience, we also have a final mysterious gift item for auction. Please don't miss it! Our auction will now begin. Please have our staff present today's first item."

Two girls in red dresses pushed a small cart onto the auction stage. The cart was covered with a purple cloth. They pushed the cart to the center and lifted the cloth, revealing a uniquely shaped soul tool on the cart.

Looking at the soul tool on it, He Caitou's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned to Huo Yuhao: "Yuhao, isn't this your 'Desert Eagle'? Judging from the color, it seems to be the Black Knight limited edition you made two years ago?"

Huo Yuhao chuckled, "It's matte black with a light-absorbing coating. It was indeed one of the two limited edition pieces I made on a whim back then. I never expected it to end up here. I remember I even added some special effects to it, like paralysis?"

On the stage, auctioneer Qingya smiled and said, "Our first item is a level three attack soul tool. I heard that the maker gave it a very interesting name, 'Desert Eagle,' and it's an improvement on the soul ray gun. This soul tool has a unique design, fits comfortably in the hand, and is extremely ergonomic. Even if it's not used in combat, it's still very fun to play with. Moreover, this level three soul tool has added special effects to its internal core array, possessing a 'paralysis' effect. In addition, it can also attach these little gadgets called 'bullets' through this 'magazine' in the handle, and their power can even reach the level of a level four soul tool!" As Qingya introduced it, she showed everyone the bullets in the two black boxes next to the soul tool.

“We have tested it. When its soul-guided paralysis ray hits a Soul King, it can paralyze them for about one second, provided that they are directly hit and do not use soul skills or soul-guided devices for defense. When it hits a Soul Master, it can paralyze them for more than two seconds, provided that they do not use soul skills or soul-guided devices for defense. And when it hits a three-ring Soul Master of the same level, it will paralyze them for about three to four seconds.”

"Please note, distinguished guests, that all our experiments have been conducted against offensive-type Soul Masters. The results will certainly differ if other types of Soul Masters are targeted."

"If bullets are used, the paralysis effect will be greatly reduced, but the attack power will increase by one level. Overall, this soul tool has low requirements for the user but is very practical, making it a rare gem among level three soul tools. The starting bid is 1,000 gold soul coins, with each bid increment no less than 50 gold soul coins."

On stage, the auction for this soul tool had begun thanks to Qingya's elegant introduction. Below, Ning Tian's voice suddenly came from behind Huo Yuhao: "Yuhao, did you really make this soul tool?"

Huo Yuhao turned around and nodded, saying, "That's right. I remember that this soul tool was commissioned by a wealthy young man who paid a high price to have it made by me. Since there were leftover materials, I made an extra one."

"Can what the auctioneer just said really reach that level?"

"of course can."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's affirmative answer, Ning Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he were somewhat excited: "Yuhao, after the auction ends, I have something I'd like to discuss with you privately."

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered, and considering Ning Tian's identity, he seemed to have guessed what she wanted to talk to him about.

Who is she? The little princess of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!

What does the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School lack most? Attack power!

What is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School that it has the most of? Gold Soul Coins!

Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly: I really didn't want to become a business tycoon.
Why is it so easy for Huo to earn gold soul coins, but so difficult for us? o(╥﹏╥)o
