Evil spirits invade, everyone needs to survive, I have a game cheat.

"Son, remember what this man looks like. You must never mess with him in the future. If you do, all I can do as your father is to give you a grand and spectacular wedding."

"Dad, I'm not stupid. I'm very honest. Don't mess with this guy, or I'll have to take my mom's surname."

"..."

Inside the center of the exchange venue, everyone's eyes kept turning to one spot.

There was a loving father and a filial son talking there.

"Compared to this guy, we second-generation rich kids are nothing."

"Age is still comparable; we're older than him."

"..."

"This guy is unlike us. He's a prodigy. Even though he hasn't fully joined the official ranks, he's received great honors from them. You can imagine how capable he is."

"My grandfather said that this guy will soon be promoted to the rank of general in the Great Xia Dynasty. That's the most abnormal thing. There are less than forty generals in the entire Great Xia Dynasty. He is the real power core, which is beyond our reach. With his ability, he could probably kill us and not be punished."

Around them, some of the top second-generation officials were chatting with envy on their faces.

They all have very strong backgrounds.

However, the people they are so proud of actually have lower social status than that Lieutenant General Cao.

------

Amidst the discussions, news of what happened here also spread to the outer edges of the exchange area.

This also brought a huge shock to the extraordinary individuals on the periphery.

It's easy to imagine that before long, the name Cao Fengqi will resound throughout the entire Tianbei Base City.

"Brother Cao, this wind is blowing...when did he become a lieutenant general?"

At this moment, for the Spark Guild, and for Guo Daoming and Xia Liehuo, it was a time of both surprise and delight.

The good news is that what they thought was a crisis has passed easily.

Surprisingly, Cao Fengqi, whom they were trying so hard to win over, turned out to be a lieutenant general of the Great Xia Dynasty.

This left them with mixed feelings.

So now... is Cao Fengqi an official? Or is he a member of their Spark Guild?

They approached Cao Jianjun, their minds filled with complex emotions as they asked him questions.

"Hehe, that was just recently."

Cao Jiancheng looked at them and smiled: "Feng Qi's uncle was from the official supernatural weapons factory. He helped a little at first, but later he helped a lot more, so he was given a military rank."

"Dude, you're making it sound so casual! Feng Qi is just too awesome!"

Xia Liehuo's lips twitched, and he sighed.

"My dear in-laws, what do you think about my daughter following Feng Qi's lead? How about we make it official?"

A woman standing next to Feng Yuntian asked Liu Xiuxiu with a look of eagerness.

"..."

Liu Xiuxiu opened her mouth, forced a smile, and said, "That depends on my son's opinion; I can't make the decision myself."

"Hehe, yes, yes."

The higher-ups of the Spark Guild chatted with him with smiles.

Their eyes flickered slightly, and they all understood that the only way to win over Cao Fengqi at this time was through a marriage alliance.

For the Feng family, if their daughter could marry this man, it might be more important than their current situation in the Starfire Guild.

"Sis, let's not say anything more, let's start trying to conceive."

Not far away, Xiao Youxiu stared at his older sister and made a suggestion with a face full of excitement.

"You think you're asking for a beating?"

Xiao Youya paused, staring at him with a dark expression.

Even if you kill me today, I will still tell you.

Xiao Youxiu, head held high, spoke with a defiant air, "My godfather is just too awesome now, more than good enough for you, sister. No, sister, you're way above your station! Stop being so arrogant all the time. You're not getting any younger. My godfather likes you so much, so you should hurry up and..."

"Waaaaah!"

Before he could finish speaking, strands of silk thread wrapped around his mouth.

"It's not a good time to make a move here, but you'll regret it when you get home."

Xiao Youya stared at him coldly, directly threatening him.

"Waaaaah, waaaaah!"

Xiao Youxiu held his head high defiantly, looking like he wasn't afraid this time.

"Ha, even if I were with that bastard, do you think he could protect you?"

Xiao Youya looked at him, sneered, and continued.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Youxiu was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

That's true...

He might not know very well who his godfather was, but there was one thing he knew.

That's absolutely the kind of person who would forget their sworn brother for the sake of a beautiful woman.

"Waaaaah!"

Xiao Youxiu quickly forced a smile and admitted his mistake, reverting to his previous ingratiating demeanor.

"Hehe, I originally wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person, but alas, I'm too powerful, and I can't hide it even if I want to."

After chatting idly with General Chen and the others, Cao Feng returned and leisurely began to speak.

"snort."

"Godfather, you are absolutely amazing. I admire you to the core."

"An 18-year-old Lieutenant General of the Great Xia Dynasty is simply invincible, haha!"

"Indeed, we, the pride of heaven, are like fireflies vying for brilliance with the bright moon in your presence."

Xiao Youya gave a light snort, and Zhao Chentian and Xia Yang immediately turned into sycophants and came over to flatter her.

"Hey, keep it low-key."

Cao Fengqi smiled.

"Don't mess with the people next to him either, remember that."

"I know, I know, especially those two beautiful women next to him, they might be his confidantes."

Some people around noticed Zhao Chentian and Xiao Youya's figures, and added a few more people they couldn't afford to offend.

After all, Tao Jia was just killed because he offended the beautiful woman beside him.

The people in the exchange room discussed "that extraordinary young man" in secret for a full hour before the room returned to normal.

Cao Fengqi was also chatting with Xiao Youxiu and the others.

"Godfather, the final auction is about to begin. We at Xinghuo have a reserved spot; would you like to go over there?"

Time flew by, and the exchange meeting soon came to its final hour. Xia Yang asked him a question.

"Okay, sure!"

Cao Fengqi nodded and asked him, "What are the rules of this auction?"

"There aren't any rules, but this auction is probably different from what you expect, Godfather."

Xia Yang replied.

"Oh? How is it different?"

Cao Fengqi raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

"The auction involves displaying information about each item on a front-facing platform, where it's shown on a screen for everyone to view."

"We submit our bids via communicator."

"This 'price currency' doesn't necessarily have to be souls; other treasures can be used for trading as well."

"Once an auction begins, information about the items that buyers are willing to offer will be displayed on the big screen."

Ultimately, the seller can trade with whomever they choose.

"Of course, if you see that your competitor is bidding on a more valuable item, you can increase your bid."

Xia Yang introduced him to the situation.

Cao Fengqi nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Because even the government hasn't issued a unified currency yet, the format of auctions is completely different from the traditional ones.
