Locke: Daily intelligence, I'm going crazy finding bargains!

Luo Xing turned to the last page of the collection catalog, which contained only a blurry picture and a large question mark, with a line of small print below: "The grand finale mystery item, stay tuned."

"Brother Xing, it's about to start!" Huang Jindou leaned on the windowsill of the private room, looking down into the hall.

The lights in the auction hall dimmed, the lights on the stage came on, and the auctioneer walked onto the stage.

"Distinguished guests, welcome to the 72nd auction of Saint Star Auction House. Without further ado, let's present the auction items!"

The first item is an elite-level Pokémon egg, species unknown, with a starting bid of 50,000 Rock Coins.

The price soared to 120,000. Luo Xing shook his head; the premium was too high, it wasn't worth it.

The second item was a set of protective armor for two-star mages. The material was quite good, but the starting bid was 80,000, and it was eventually sold for 150,000.

The third item in the auction.

The curtain behind the auctioneer was drawn back, and a glass display stand slowly rose up, on which was placed a ring-shaped ornament, entirely gold, which was similar in design to an astrolabe.

"This accessory was accidentally obtained by a two-star mage in a secret realm. After repeated examination by our appraisers, it has been confirmed that its quality is at least rare. Its specific function is currently unknown. Starting bid: 80,000 Lockheed Barons!"

The Soul Ring Imprint, it really is it.

He touched his pocket, took out his phone, and checked his balance.

Ninety-one pieces.

Luo Xing's expression became very subtle, and he turned his head to look at Huang Jindou.

"Douzi, call the waiter over."

Golden Bean pressed the call bell on the table, and less than ten seconds later, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

The waiter pushed open the door, bowed, and greeted him with a smile: "What can I do for you, Young Master Huang?"

Luo Xing took a plant from the star chart and placed it on the table.

The grass was emerald green, with a faint fluorescent glow on its leaves, and a refreshing herbal fragrance filled the air.

"I'd like to consign this epic-level refreshing herb for auction."

The waiter's smile froze instantly, his eyes fixed on the herb on the table, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down twice.

"This... I can't make that decision myself. I... I'll go get an appraiser right away! Please wait a moment!"

The waiter turned and ran, his steps so fast he almost tripped over the threshold.

Golden Bean leaned over and glanced at it: "Brother Xing, aren't you going to use this grass?"

"We don't need it."

Less than three minutes later, the door to the private room was pushed open again.

The man who entered was an elderly man with gray hair, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a dark gray Zhongshan suit, and an appraiser badge from the Holy Star Auction House pinned to his chest.

The old man strode to the table, brought it close to his eyes to examine it carefully, and then smelled it. He became very excited.

"It is indeed an epic-level Refreshing Herb... It's probably been five or six years since it appeared in Los Angeles."

The old man carefully placed the calming herb back on the table and looked up at Luo Xing.

Luo Xing leaned back on the sofa, his arms crossed over his chest: "Name your price."

Taking advantage of the brief moment, Luo Xing turned his head and whispered a few words in Su Mumu's ear. Su Mumu nodded, picked up her bidding paddle, and walked to the window.

The Soul Ring Imprint in the hall is being auctioned off, and the price has risen from 80,000 to 110,000, with the bidding speed noticeably slowing down.

"130,000!" Su Mumu held up the sign.

There was a two-second silence in the hall; no one raised the price further.

"130,000 Lockheed Martins, sold!"

As the auctioneer's gavel fell, Su Mumu turned around and gave Luo Xing an OK sign.

Less than two minutes later, a staff member knocked on the door of the private room with a black brocade box in hand. Luo Xing took it, opened it, and confirmed that it was the Soul Ring Imprint.

The old man pondered for a moment before finally speaking.

"Young man, to be honest, if this Qingxin Grass is promoted properly, it could easily fetch tens of millions."

The old man adjusted his glasses and his tone became more sincere: "I have a favor to ask. I hope you can entrust this Qingxin Grass to our Shengxing Auction House for auction, and we will arrange for it to be the final item in the next auction."

He paused for a moment, then pointed to the Soul Ring Seal in Luo Xing's hand: "Consider this Soul Ring Seal our gift to you. We won't charge you any handling fees from the auction proceeds."

Luo Xing chuckled softly and shook his head.

"Old man, there's no such rule. I'll accept the Soul Ring Imprint, and I'll only take 80% of the auction proceeds from the Heart-Cleansing Grass. The remaining 20% ​​is your hard-earned reward."

The old man opened his mouth, as if to say something more, but Luo Xing raised his hand to stop him.

"Business is about give and take; one-off deals don't last, don't you think?"

The old man was stunned for a full three seconds, then burst into laughter and patted Luo Xing on the shoulder twice.

"Good lad, that was satisfying!"

He turned and waved to the door. A manager in a suit strode in, holding a black card in his hand, and presented it to Luo Xing with both hands.

"This is our Saint Star Black Card, with a pre-deposited credit limit of two million. You can enjoy a 20% discount on purchases at all Saint Star-affiliated businesses."

Luo Xing didn't hesitate, reached out and took it, stuffed it into his pocket, and looked at the prop in his hand.

【Soul Ring Imprint (Special): After use, it increases the damage dealt by an elf that is effective against it by 2.5 times, and reduces the damage dealt to an elf that is weak against it by 1.7 times.】

Luo Xing didn't hesitate, reached out and took it, stuffed it into his pocket, and looked at the prop in his hand.

【Soul Ring Imprint (Special): After use, it increases the damage dealt by an elf that is effective against it by 2.5 times, and reduces the damage dealt to an elf that is weak against it by 1.7 times.】

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last item to be auctioned!"

The auctioneer's voice rose a few decibels, and the curtains on both sides of the stage opened simultaneously, as two staff members pushed out an iron cage.

A red cloth covered the cage, obscuring what was inside.

The auctioneer walked over to the cage and ripped off the red cloth.

A small, dark creature was curled up in the cage. It was round and plump, curled up like a stone, with a metallic sheen on its surface.

"The species of this sprite egg is unknown after hatching, but it has been identified by four experts as having epic bloodline. The starting bid is two million Rock Coins!"

Luo Xing looked at the elf in the cage and smiled.

[Elf: Dorsey]

[Quality: Dominant]

[Talent: Remarkable]

[Attribute: Rock/Mechanical]

[Character: Cautious]

[Exclusive Talent (Overlord): Targeted Refinement (Each time a defensive skill is used, increases the power of your own skills by 10%, stacking up to five times)]

This is clearly a dominant Dorsey.

This Pokémon is perfect for Bean. He has always been clear about Bean's role in the team: a tank. And this Dorsey is practically made for him.

"Bean, take the picture, at all costs."

Without hesitation, Huang Jindou immediately took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it.

"Mom!" Huang Jindou's voice was very sticky.

"Just wanted to give you an update! I came in fourth place in the last qualifying tournament! In the whole of Los Angeles! Yes, yes, both No. 1 and No. 2 Middle Schools combined!"

A surprised scream came from the other end of the phone.

Seizing the opportunity, Golden Bean changed the subject: "Mom, there's a really good epic spirit up for auction at the auction house over here, we can't miss this chance!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then a woman's crisp, decisive voice asked, "How much?"

"It's hard to say. You should send the money first, and I'll let you know if it's not enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone chimed with the notification that 30 million yuan had been deposited into his Alipay account.

Having received the money, Golden Bean stood up, walked to the window, and prepared to begin his performance.

Luo Xing leaned back on the sofa, but her mind was on something else.

Even a dominant-level Dorsey didn't appear in the system's daily intelligence report. Just how strong is that duck Gigi, which the system specifically pushes intelligence to?
