"400,001 gold soul coins".

When this calm voice came from the crowd, everyone present was stunned, including the Hague Soul Saint on the pool and the Sherlock nobleman.

"Only one gold coin more?! That's hilarious!" someone exclaimed in bewilderment.

"Looks like they're up to no good, hahaha! But I like it!" someone explained.

Upon seeing this, the chubby little prince Barry from the Kingdom of Barak smiled and said, "When it comes to raising prices, this friend is much more torturous!"

Barry's aristocratic friends also laughed and said, "Judging from his calm tone, it seems he's going to have to put up with that Sherlock guy for a while."

Some people wondered, "I wonder which organization or group could come up with so much money all at once?"

In this world, apart from a few noble families who made a fortune in Soto City, only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has the means to not treat money as money.

Barry turned and searched through the crowd, saying cryptically, "There's something fishy about how that bastard Sherlock got his money. His family could come up with 400,000, but not so easily."

On the other side of the crowd, the Shrek Three Musketeers stared dumbfounded at the bidding. Ma Hongjun, clinging to Dai Mubai's arm, whispered in his ear, "Are they talking about... Bronze Soul Coins?"

Dai Mubai said helplessly, "Gold Soul Coins—that's the strength of a great noble family. However, these two noble families seem a bit too wealthy."

Ma Hongjun's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Dai! Aren't you a nobleman too?! Why don't you give it a try?"

"Try?!" Dai Mubai pointed at himself with an incredulous look. "Even if you sold me, I wouldn't be worth that much money!"

Of course, unless Dai Mubai pulls off a miraculous comeback, ascends the throne of Xingluo, and becomes the Xingluo Emperor. But if he were to become emperor, he'd rather spend money on the army than waste it on women!

"You two stop fooling around. Didn't you notice that one of the voices sounds familiar?" Oscar replied weakly, holding Dai Mubai's other arm.

"Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit true." Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun looked thoughtful, then froze instantly.

"Forty-one thousand!" On the other side, Xue Luo said with a gloomy look in her eyes, not daring to raise the price any higher.

"Forty-one thousand and one gold soul coins." The calm voice came again from the crowd.

Sherlock's eyes turned cold. He looked around the crowd repeatedly, but still couldn't find out who was shouting out prices randomly.

He then angrily retorted, "Are you trying to humiliate me with a single gold soul coin?! Four hundred and one thousand two hundred and twenty thousand!"

Sheryl didn't get carried away and chose to join in.

"Forty-one thousand and three." The calm voice rang out again.

"410,004!"

"."

On the pool, the Soul Saint of The Hague couldn't help but chuckle as he watched this dramatic scene, somewhat bewildered.

However, the fact that this mermaid could sell for 400,000 gold soul coins was beyond the expectations of the Soul Saint of The Hague. Although he knew the principle that things are valuable because they are rare, it was indeed a bit unexpected that these continental soul masters were so good at making gold coins.

This mermaid, due to its excellent ornamental value, could fetch 50,000, which would be a profit for them. If it were sent inland, Hague Soul Saint estimated it could sell for at least 100,000. He asked for 200,000 simply to prevent the mermaid from being sold too quickly. However, as soon as he said 200,000, someone raised the price, and it quickly rose to 400,000.

What can The Hague say about this? Are they stupid and rich? No, no, no, the customer is king!

"If I could have 400,000 gold soul coins, I should have enough confidence to cooperate well with the Technology Chamber of Commerce, right?" Hague thought to himself.

Hague didn't dare take a single one of the 400,000 gold soul coins home; that would be far too dangerous.

Soto earns money, Soto spends it; The Hague needs to spend most of it in Soto before it can safely return to the sea.

Their Sea Soul Mercenary Group's purpose this time was very simple: to make contact with the higher-ups of the Technology Chamber of Commerce.

The reason for Hague and his group's trip can be traced back to the Soul-Moving Car that appeared in the southern border of the Star Luo Empire. When Hague first saw that thing, he thought about how it would be possible to build such a car at sea. So Hague immediately decided that he must go to Soto City, the "Capital of Soul Guidance Devices" among the Star Luo Soul Masters.

If he could communicate with the Technology Chamber of Commerce and obtain the qualification to customize soul-guided machinery, allowing them to build a soul-guided iron ship for the Sea Soul Mercenary Group, Hague believed he could unify the western seas of the continent. As for why not the East Sea, it's because the Star Luo Fleet's base is there, and they might not be able to defeat it. Secondly, the Barak River near Soto City allows direct passage through Barak City and Fasno City, flowing into the western coast of the Heavenly Dou Empire from the border river between Fasno Province and Idov Province.

In order to cooperate with their plan, the Sea Soul Mercenary Group, which was originally a force in the South China Sea of ​​the Star Luo Empire, eventually sent its fleet to the waters near Hanhai City on the west side of Fasno Province to meet them. Furthermore, Haiya and the others traveled all the way from the Barak River to Soto City by waterway.

In order to seize the opportunity to strengthen his team, Hague abandoned his base in southern Xingluo and once again transformed into a pirate crew, appearing near the waters of Fasno Province—a move that seemed to have nothing to lose. Of course, they still had a way out; if all else failed, they could go back, be pirates for a few years, seize some territory, and become upright pirates again.

"Four hundred and twenty thousand! Are you sure you want to go against me?!" Xue Luo stopped the 'One Gold Soul Coin' game and said sternly:

"My father is the lord of Soto! I advise you not to narrow your own path!" Seeing that the other party seemed afraid to show his face, Sherlock directly resorted to personal threats.

"Pah! Brother, don't be a coward! I am Barry, the fourth prince of Barak! I can provide protection for you!" Barry spat directly. Using family background to intimidate people? Then he would have to step in and win people's hearts. Barry believed that someone who could take out 400,000 gold soul coins was not simple, and therefore worth his protection.

As for whether anyone would dare to falsify information? That would be suicidal, and none of the factions present would let the person who made the false claim get away with it.

If someone is truly willing to risk their life to play a joke on everyone, then they'd be happy to witness it.

"Oh? So your father is the city lord." Chen Hong patted the dense crowd in front of him and finally slowly squeezed his way forward.

The Secret Soul Clothing also had a drawback: no one made way for Chen Hong, causing him to struggle to get forward. In the end, he had to ask Ning Quan for help.

"What a narrow path I've taken." Finally, Chen Hong walked to the front row under the spotlight, then turned to look at Xue Luo, who was frowning.

"What a fine example of bullying others by virtue of one's power."
