Chapter 222 Mammon's Ability: Rich

Sunday, September 18th.

The Master Auction of the Source World will be held today.

Lin Xiao browsed the auction list announced in advance on the official website, and materials related to the Four Spirits of Heaven were clearly listed.

"There are only two types, basalt and red jade."

Lin Xiao read aloud and said to himself:

"They are all about seventh-level materials, which are a little worse than the eighth-level Philosopher's Stone. But they are much better than the materials exploded by 'Theseus' and 'Ghost Che Bird'."

These two materials are extremely precious to current card masters and can help their trump cards break through the seventh level.

Even if someone tries to enter the Holy Realm, these materials related to the "Four Spirits of Heaven" can provide a lot of help.

"Suzaku Ruby" is Lin Xiao's favorite lot.

It can help glutinous rice balls gain a hint of the Holy Spirit of Suzaku, and then lay the foundation for its future development towards the 'Suzaku' template.

There are different opinions about the strength of the "Four Spirits of Heaven". Some say it is a holy spirit, while others say it is a divine beast.

In Lanxing, according to Huainanzi, the four elephants are located in the southeast, northwest, and Yinglong is in the center, which is the length of the four elephants.

In other words, the Four Elephants are holy beasts at the Holy Spirit level, and Yinglong, who killed Chi You for the Yellow Emperor, is at the God level.

In Lin Xiao's previous life, the Chinese mythology system was complicated, including Qinglong, Yinglong, Zhulong, Zulong... and it was hard to distinguish their powers.

But in Zhongzhou, Zhulong is the creator of Zhongzhou, Yinglong has the godhead, and the four elephants live under Yinglong.

At the back of the auction catalog, there is an estimated price for the "Suzaku Ruby", which is still within Lin Xiao's acceptance range.

After all, he is already a strong man in the holy realm, and he has the confidence of the God of Greed and the winery, so he is not short of money.

In the auction list, Lin Xiao also saw two target auction items, the ‘Bawang Cauldron’ and the ‘Red Rabbit Horse Bone’.

Overlord's Cauldron is an epic equipment card. It is said to be the bronze cauldron that Overlord once carried. Its main attack method is to hit people.

As for the Red Rabbit Horse Bone, the auction house only auctions it as a collectible...

If a card maker really wants to apply "Red Rabbit Horse Bone" to his own spiritual cards, that's not impossible.

Of course, this thing was used by Lin Xiao and the Central Continent Alliance to recruit Marquis Wen.

Han Li purchased it on behalf of the Central Continent Alliance, and no additional expenses were required from Lin Xiao.

The weather in Shanghai was gloomy, raindrops splashed on the windows, and the river beach landscape outside the window was covered with a layer of lead-like gray.

Lin Xiao held Dafu on his head and stood in front of the window and looked out. Dafu blinked his dark eyes.

The seal's belly is quite soft and comfortable...

Lin Xiao protected Dafu on top of his head with both hands and said calmly: "You're fat again, Dafu."

"Oh!" Dafu shrugged his beard proudly.

The fatter will have more fat, which can be used to attack the leopard's belly!

Makes some sense.

Lin Xiao was speechless.

A heavy rain suddenly fell outside the window. Chu Yun called to say that the afternoon meeting was cancelled. You can just concentrate on waiting for the evening auction.

Lin Xiao stayed at home, enjoying her free time and chatting in groups.

Miss Jones's profile picture has been gray for a long time.

I wonder how her trip in Sharo went and whether her strength has improved.

Then she thought about it, with Cat God Buster as her "portable grandpa", it was almost certain that she would achieve the Holy Land.

And I can't slack off. It is necessary to find a way to reach the ninth level in the process of conquering Central Continent.

"The ninth level...should be the god level."

Lin Xiao's eyes flickered.

After using the Philosopher's Stone to break through the eighth level, the experience value of the Meteor Sword increases more slowly.

A battle with Marquis Wen and Qiongqi only raised the level of the Meteoric Sword by one level.

Therefore, to move towards the ninth level, fighting alone is not enough. There must be other opportunities.

In the Middle Ages, Chi You was a ninth-level god in the Central Continent.

After thousands of years, due to the restrictions of the law, it is difficult for Chi You and Satan to return to the level of gods.

But it would not be wrong to regard Chi You as a stepping stone.

Of course, the eighth level has not been settled yet, and the ninth level is still far away.

Taking advantage of the heavy rain, Lin Xiao temporarily put her worries aside and opened the chat group while staying at home.

Since the auction is a major event in the source world recently, the chat content in the group is also related to the auction.

"Is there anyone attending tonight's auction?" Shirley asked.

"I have several pieces that I like, but they are too expensive. Damn it." The Ghost Bride sighed.

"It's better to use the money to buy crispy noodles." Red Panda suggested sincerely.

"Hey, you can join in the fun if you can't afford it." Xue Yingdao said.

"I see you just want to raise the price." Du Jingang said.

Xue Yin Dao did not refute, and said proudly: "You may not be able to afford it, but you must have confidence when bidding!"

Lin Xiao paused slightly.

If it weren't for Xue Yin Dao, there would be no chance.

That blue-eyed white dragon with a bidding price of 87 million yuan must have had his hand in it.

"I heard that this auction is for charity?" Jin Long Zhenjun asked.

"Yes, not entirely."

Shirley said: "Part of the proceeds from this auction will be donated to the Central Continent Alliance to combat the drought in Shu and the floods in Chu in Central Continent."

"Because some of the items in the auction are indeed of unknown origin," Shirley pointed out, "I can understand the auction house's intentions."

"I've heard about the drought." The red panda said worriedly, "It's comparable to the 'Thousand Miles of Red Land' described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

True Lord Jinlong sighed: "Floods occur frequently on this side of the Yellow River. First, there are dragons causing trouble, and then there are continuous heavy rains... Everywhere is unsafe."

Lin Xiao's heart was serious.

Legend has it that Chi You and the Yellow Emperor fought in Zhulu and asked Feng Bo, Rain Master and Kua Fu to come to their aid.

Now among Chi You's subordinates, only one ferocious beast, Qiongqi, and the human messenger Wenhou selected by Qiongqi appeared.

But Chi You was, after all, an ancient war god with the power of a god.

In addition to summoning humans, his ability to summon ferocious beasts cannot be ignored.

"If we want to fight against Chi You, I can't do anything on my own."

Lin Xiao thought: "Now Jiang Shang is going out to seek an opportunity to break through the holy realm."

"As Jiang Shang's fishing friend, True Lord Golden Dragon, if he can regain his former strength, he can also provide valuable combat power to Zhongzhou..."

*

The afternoon passed quietly.

In the evening, Lin Xiao lay down in the virtual cabin and headed to the auction site.

Clad in black armor and carrying a broad sword on his back, the towering epee man immediately caused a sensation in the channel as soon as he landed.

No matter how strong you are in the game, you are still fake.

But the man with the heavy sword is really fierce. He wields a door-panel-like weapon and cuts it one by one. His performance is obviously a legend!

The players in front of the teleportation array looked curiously at the epee man walking in the distance, their eyes showing curiosity and longing for the "maximum level boss".

"The epee man also goes to the auction, right?" someone discussed.

"It should be, many big guys went to the auction today."

"They are all rich brothers."

"Go, find the epee man V and give you 50!"

The image of the epee man is too intimidating: the heavy armor all over his body is black and shiny, and the sword he carries on his back is broad and powerful.

Players already know that there is a handsome face under the helmet, but when he puts on the helmet, his aura is still daunting.

Lin Xiao walked straight into the teleportation array and arrived at the hall outside the auction site with a ray of white light.

Han Li is already waiting here.

"After entering the venue, each buyer will have a private box." Han Li smiled and said, "I won't bother you anymore. See you after the auction."

Lin Xiao nodded and said: "I just like the red bird. I won't participate in the bidding for anything else."

Han Li breathed a sigh of relief and said: "To tell you the truth, Jiang Shang also needs the Four Elephant materials. But the one that suits him is Basalt Mingyan."

"From various perspectives, it is really a blessing not to compete with you." Han Li said with a smile.

Overlord Cauldron, Red Rabbit Horse Bone, Basalt Mingyan, and Han Li will all be purchased for the Central Continent Alliance.

What Lin Xiao had to do was to buy the Vermilion Bird Ruby from the hands of a group of card masters who were eyeing it.

“The winery’s liquidity is indeed a bit tight.”

Lin Xiao thought: "Fortunately, the God of Greed is his subordinate."

The realm of Mammon, the "Ten Thousand Demons Palace", can accumulate wealth in the world.

And "Margaret" awakened the memory of being Mammon, and naturally knew where her wealth was buried.

My superpower is having money·Jpg

On the musical-style stage, a bunch of lights fell, illuminating the auctioneer's seat, but the rest of the stage was dim.

The auction had not officially started yet. Lin Xiao took a seat in the box and saw auction information such as pending auctions, valuations, and current bids appearing on a screen.

When the time came to seven o'clock in the evening, the beautiful auctioneer made her official appearance wearing white gloves. The first lot was slowly launched, and the display cabinet reflected amber-like golden light under the overhead light——

The auction officially begins.

Since they are all in private rooms, it is impossible to know the information of other buyers, but with a little guessing about the number of people who entered the venue, you can always know the number of the noteworthy private rooms.

Lin Xiao was not interested in the first few collections. It was not until it was the turn of the 'Overlord Cauldron' to appear that he cheered up a little.

But I don't know why.

On the display screen showing the lot list, the word "Unsuccessful" was displayed on the "Bawang Ding" lot, and this collection was skipped directly.

Lin Xiao's heart trembled.

This is a huge mistake for the auction house.

On the stage, the auctioneer explained that due to technical reasons, the auction sequence of the Bawang Ding had been postponed, and expressed his extreme apologies.

Immediately afterwards, the next collection was launched, which was the much-anticipated four-image material, Suzaku Ruby.

In the showcase, the beautiful and clear red jade is almost transparent, with a cluster of vermilion fire burning in it.

Lin Xiao quietly opened the card master's guide to identify this material.

"Suzaku Ruby: A beautiful red jade that contains the breath of the sacred beast Suzaku. It can give spiritual creatures a wisp of Suzaku's fire."

It is indeed authentic.

When Suzaku Hongyu made its appearance, one could clearly feel the atmosphere rising.

Due to previous technical errors, buyers' dissatisfaction was also diluted.

Lin Xiao had no time to pay attention to the situation of the ‘Overlord Cauldron’ and joined the bidding process.

The federal real estate tycoon, Mr. Jones, also participated in the auction.

The man's hair was neatly styled and his silver suit was ironed to fit him. He waited patiently for others to finish calling out the price, and then he held up the sign meticulously.

After Jolina expressed to him her intention to go to Salo, Mr. Jones knew that he could not stop his daughter and was frustrated for a long time.

But he is a famous card master himself and knows that every card master has his own persistent philosophy.

All she can do is silently support her daughter.

At this auction, Mr. Jones spent a lot of money just to buy rare materials for his daughter.

He had also heard about the wonders of the Four Elephants of Central Continent, so it was necessary to purchase this collection.

In another private room, Shirley also joined the bidding for the ‘Suzaku Ruby’.

As a pharmacist, the fire of the red jade contained in the red jade can be helpful to Shirley's pharmaceutical technology.

The continuous bidding for several boxes brought the atmosphere to a climax.

Lin Xiao was about to raise the sign when her phone buzzed and vibrated, and a message from Mammon came:

"You're in box number seven, right?"

"Yes, what?" Lin Xiao replied.

"I'm in the box next to yours. I'll bid for the Suzaku Ruby on your behalf." Mamen said, "Go and ask the staff for information about the Overlord Cauldron."

Lin Xiao had chatted with Mamen about the auction, and she knew several of Lin Xiao's target auction items.

The Overlord Cauldron is related to ferocious beasts and should not be neglected.

Moreover, auctioning is a technical job, and leaving it to Mammon, who is obviously more knowledgeable, can save a lot of money.

Lin Xiao stood up, walked out of the box, looked around, and saw an employee hurried over.

"Hello, I would like to know the current situation of the auction item 'Overlord Cauldron'." Epee said.

The employee pressed the microphone in his ear and whispered a few words, with an apologetic smile on his face:

"Sir, I'm really sorry...the seller of Bawang Ding is in trouble and would rather break the contract than continue to send Bawang Ding for auction."

"We are constantly trying to contact the seller, but he has been unable to contact him, so... the auction of Bawang Ding may have to be postponed."

Lin Xiao said: "Are the things still here at your auction house?"

"Yes, but without the seller's permission, I'm afraid..."

Just stay here at the auction house... Lin Xiao thought to himself that the seller was so abnormal that Han Li had to investigate.

At the same time, in the venue, the auction hammer fell.

"Suzaku Ruby, purchased by the guest in Box 8!"

Mr. Jones and Shirley finally gave up the bid with Mammon.

In the subsequent bidding, Han Li's budget was extremely sufficient, and he also got his wish, purchasing the 'Red Rabbit Horse Bone' and 'Basalt Mingyan'.

Until the entire auction process ended, Bawangding did not appear.

Since Wen Hou is alive, it may be related to the previous case of theft of the tiger charm.

Han Li attached great importance to the ‘Overlord Cauldron’. After the bidding, he found Lin Xiao and said seriously:

"The seller changed his mind midway, causing the Bawang Ding to fail to be sold... I am worried that there will be shadows of ferocious beasts in it. It may be necessary to conduct an offline investigation."

Lin Xiao nodded.

The behavioral logic of ferocious beasts is different from that of humans.

For them, it may be a more direct approach to deal with the seller directly.

"But." Lin Xiao said, "How can the ferocious beast determine the location of the seller of the Overlord Cauldron?"

Han Li frowned and said, "Chi You's followers and envoys are extremely sensitive to the aura of killing. It was by following the aura of killing that Qiongqi found the Wenhou Tiger Talisman in Po Junxing's home."

"If there is another ferocious beast, following the killing spirit, it will be more straightforward to find the home of the seller of the Overlord Cauldron than for us to bid for the Overlord Cauldron."

Lin Xiao fell into deep thought.

The seller of Bawangding is unknown.

The good news is that Han Li and I have purchased the materials we like.

Among them, there is also a material that can strengthen the flame of glutinous rice balls, Suzaku Ruby.

After it goes offline, you can try to use ‘Suzaku Ruby’ to add some extra points to the glutinous rice balls.

"Leave the red rabbit and horse bones to me for now."

Lin Xiao said: "I will find an opportunity and hand it over to Marquis Wen personally."
