With his vision rippling, Zhang Yuanqing came to the black market. The layout of stalls here was changed from a vegetable market to a serious auction house. The auction table was a foldable and telescopic metal base.
A metal platform more than three meters high was covered with a red carpet and a banner of "Wanbao House Auction" was hung.
There are dozens of high-backed chairs underneath, each with a simple coffee table, with melons and fruits produced in Lingjing and tea. However, the auction house is empty and no customers are seated.
There were still twenty minutes before the auction started, and at this time all the guests gathered in the octagonal cage in the south to watch the ring battle.
In a giant octagonal cage with a diameter of twenty meters, two extraordinary beings were fighting, one was a Gu wizard and the other was a wood demon.
There were cheers and applause.
Generally speaking, saints rarely enter the arena for life-and-death battles, unless they encounter life-or-death enemies, or the prizes are too tempting. Most of the time, those who enter the arena are extraordinary, and most of them are casual cultivators.
The Gu Master who transformed the poison was obviously more powerful and suppressed the Wood Demon throughout the whole process. However, because the Wood Demon was flexible, powerful, and able to detoxify, it was never killed by the Gu Master and struggled to survive.
Zhang Yuanqing only took a few glances and knew that it was only a matter of time before the Wood Demon would be defeated.
The evil profession itself is stronger than the lawful profession, and in such a narrow and simple terrain, the wood demon cannot be the opponent of the witch and Gu master in physical combat.
If you are a scout, you can defeat the witch and Gu master with physical skills, but you will be corroded by the poison first and you will definitely die.
Only the fire master can defeat the witch and poison master in the octagonal cage, relying on the violent flames to burn the poison and poisonous insects, exchanging injuries for injuries and lives for lives.
Sure enough, after struggling for a quarter of an hour, the wood demon was knocked against the iron cage by the Gu Master. Before he could hit the ground, the flexible and thick tail thorn penetrated his chest, injecting venom.
The Gu wizard withdrew his tail thorn, and instead of looking at his opponent's fallen body, he raised his fists towards the audience in all directions.
Applause and cheers came one after another.
The black market staff opened the iron cage and presented the prizes on trays covered with red cloth.
At this time, the melodious and loud bells echoed, and the auction began.
Those who had spent money to buy seats took their seats in an orderly manner. Zhang Yuanqing looked at the remaining chain of cards in his hand, which was engraved with: A9.
——The rightmost seat in the last row.
After taking his seat, he saw Lian Sanyue, who was wearing a black leather jacket, leather trousers, black chest wrap, and leather military boots, walking vigorously up the steps to the auction stage.
"Thank you for your support. The Wanbao House auction is now starting. The first auction item is the machine army. It consists of swordsman puppets, heavy armor puppets, flying puppets, reconnaissance puppets and archer puppets. It integrates melee combat, long-range attack, defense, and reconnaissance.
In one body, the strength of each puppet corresponds to level 3." Lian Sanyue opened the inventory and summoned five mechanism puppets.
The Swordsman Puppet is a humanoid puppet made of steel and wood, holding a sharp alloy sword. The Heavy Armor Puppet is a large shield half a man tall with a pulley at the bottom.
The flying puppet and the reconnaissance puppet are actually a complete set, which is a bird with a wingspan of two meters, and the bow puppet is a humanoid archer.
"The five puppets sense each other and share data with each other. The flying and reconnaissance puppets can serve as positioning and enemy-locking devices for the bow and arrow puppets. The swordsman puppet can also be combined with the heavy armor puppet, at the expense of high mobility and flexibility. The advantage is
, before the energy is exhausted, in the extraordinary stage, only a few people can defeat it." Lian Sanyue talked eloquently:
"The starting price for this machine army is 20 million, and each increase in price must not be less than 500,000."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of placards being raised in the audience, and prices were shouted one after another.
After several rounds of bidding, this set of legion puppets was sold for a high price of 30 million, and was finally bought by a guy wearing a monkey mask with crazy eyes.
Damn it, that’s 30 million. I remember selling the Five Elements Alliance’s machine weapons in the extraordinary realm, but the price didn’t exceed 10 million. They were even discounted when sold in large quantities. Zhang Yuanqing felt so distressed that his breathing was blocked.
But when he thought that when the moral value disappeared, Zhang Yuanqing was relieved that half of the credit for being able to quickly kill and repel evil professions in the Songhai area was due to the machine weapons.
Lian Sanyue, who was on the auction stage, smiled and said: "For those who didn't take the photo of machine weapons, don't worry, we still have many high-quality machine weapons."
The second round of auction began. In this auction, the Machinery Technology Company provided sixty machine puppets, with the highest level reaching level 4.
After the machine weapons, there is the life source liquid provided by the Killing Suppression Palace. As a material monopolized by the government, the life source liquid is as popular as the machine weapons.
The shouts of bidding came one after another, and soon all forty tubes of diluted life source liquid were sold out.
Finally, after bidding on a batch of materials, Lian Sanyue said loudly:
"Dear guests and friends, next is the last auction item, which is also the goal of some friends to participate in this auction."
With many bidders looking forward to it, she took out the bead with icy blue flames and said:
Domination-level props, even if they are low-level, are domination-quality props.
The pair under the mask are shining with greed and desire. Dominator-level props are absolutely not for sale even in official organizations and will only be digested internally.
Only the bachelor family sells a few master props every year, but most of them are purchased by official organizations and will not be leaked to the outside world.
Lian Sanyue put the beads into the box, put them on the table, and said loudly:
"The starting price, for any two materials that dominate the quality, each increase must not be less than five million."
The bidding continued one after another, and after a round of fighting, only four people were still anxious.
That's almost it. If there is no illusionist among these four people, I will choose the target from the illusionists on site. Zhang Yuanqing closed his eyes and sensed the emotions of the four bidders.
The bidders wore loose black robes and masks, and their profession could not be judged by temperament or body shape. However, as a "nihilist", Zhang Yuanqing had a way to find the illusionist among the crowd.
It's very simple, as long as you sense the emotions of everyone present, the one with the most stable emotions and the strongest mental power is either an illusionist or a scout.
As for how to distinguish between an illusionist and a scout, he can judge through feedback as long as he tries to influence the other person's emotions.
The illusionist has strong resilience and immunity when faced with mental manipulation, while the scout's mental power is like a stubborn stone, and the "feel" is different.
Soon, Zhang Yuanqing discovered through perception that there was an illusionist among the four people, wearing a mask with a green face and fangs, and wrapped in a loose black robe.
He stood still and watched the four people's bidding. After three consecutive rounds of bidding, the illusionist's spirit showed slight fluctuations: irritability, anger, and murderous intent.
You don’t have enough money and are you angry? Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart.
He then sensed the other three bidders, and two of them also showed slight nervousness, which meant that they were running out of financial resources, but they could still hold on for a few rounds. The last one was confident and emotionally stable.
If you compare financial resources, the evil camp will never be able to defeat the government, so I will help you. Zhang Yuanqing spread his mental power and began to manipulate the emotions of the three bidders to expand their thoughts of giving up.
At the end of the fourth round of bidding, the illusionist controlled his inner irritability very well and raised his placard for the last time:
"Two materials that dominate quality, 90 million."
This is his lowest price. If the other three companies continue to follow, he will choose to give up and take the blame to the elders.
Although he can also use cheating methods to influence the emotions of his opponents and make them give up voluntarily, he can only influence one person at most and cannot control the emotions of three saints at the same time.
Furthermore, after the emotional influence ends, the other party will immediately notice that something is wrong. At that time, the best outcome is to be expelled from the black market by the owner of Wanbao House.
The worst outcome is to be killed on the spot.
As his thoughts turned, he suddenly realized that his competitors had not increased their prices. Looking around blankly, he found that the three competitors had put their signs on the table.
Give up? The illusionist wearing the evil ghost mask felt ecstatic in his heart, and immediately felt that something was wrong.
Judging from the emotional feedback from the three bidding rivals, we should not give up.
As soon as this thought emerged from his mind, it was replaced by emotions such as happiness and arrogance. He instinctively felt that he was lucky and should be like this.
"Ninety million once, ninety million twice, ninety million three times." Lian March clapped his hammer and said, "Deal."
Auction ends.
Under the auspices of Lian Sanyue, the bidders received the auction items in an orderly manner.
The owner of the green-faced fang mask was the first to take the stage. Lian Sanyue lit a lady's cigarette and handed the black box to his hand. Green smoke curled up and he said with a smile:
"You'd better put it in the inventory first, and then check the item properties after identifying the owner. Ha, if you want to turn into an ice sculpture on the spot, just pretend I didn't tell you."
The green-faced and fanged illusionist honestly put it into the box, took it out, opened the lid of the box and checked the item attributes of the beads. After confirming that they were master-level props, he chuckled:
"Now, both the official and the free camp are spending as much money as possible to exchange for props, materials, consumables and other resources. But you are just the opposite. Can I ask why?"
Almost even those at the bottom have a premonition that chaos is coming. Once order breaks down, the paper currency of human society will become useless paper.
While banknotes still have purchasing power, converting them into resources as soon as possible is a choice that rational people will make.
Lian Sanyue smiled and said, "Do you think you are worthy of asking?"
The illusionist let out a laugh, asked no more questions, and said, "Send me away."
Lian Sanyue waved his hand, and the green-faced and fanged illusionist disappeared into the black market.
The next second, he came to the small shop and took a look at the materials and props filled with containers. He suppressed his greed and deep whirlpools appeared in the depths of his eyes.
A few sporadic dreams appeared in his field of vision, and he plunged into a bizarre dream and disappeared into the Wanbao House.
On the seventh day, at grandma's house, in the bedroom.
Zhang Yuanqing sat at the desk, summarizing the intelligence collected by all parties.
Kou Beiyue used the channels and connections of Human Blood Buns to locate an illusionist from the Southern Sect, who was active in a certain prefecture-level city in Jiangnan Province.
In the incident where his moral value disappeared, he controlled the staff of a local bank, looted all the gold and cash in the vault, and recently went on a shopping spree on the black market, buying a lot of valuable materials and consumables.
The two locked onto the community where the illusionist lived, and did not dare to further confirm the house number for fear of alerting the enemy.
Ms. JOJO used the help of Elder Dog (official channel) to locate the locations of two illusionists and a dream master.
The Demon Eye King captured a Dream Palmist, who was said to be a subordinate of the third elder of the Southern Sect.
As for the Dream Palmist he caught at the auction, Zhang Yuanqing confirmed through dream observation, activity area analysis, and official database comparison that he was a subordinate of the Ninth Elder of the Southern Sect.
"Kou Beiyue is a member of Wuhen Hotel and has a causal relationship with Lingtuo. The illusionist he is targeting can be given up."
The essence of stargazing is to predict the general trend of the world and predict the future direction, which is the destiny of all things.
In terms of "micro management", stargazing can see the fate of a specific person, but there is a limitation, that is, the stargazer must have a deep causal entanglement with the target.
Otherwise, there are hundreds of millions of creatures in the world, how could it be possible to see through every one of them.
Even if you are a demigod, your CPU will explode.
Lingtuo designed to kill Master Wuhen and led the destruction of Wuhen Hotel. Kou Beiyue, Xiaoyuan and Lingtuo had a cause and effect, and Lingtuo could see their future to a certain extent.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, it is best not to use it on the person Kou Beiyue is targeting, or to use it to confuse the other person.
In the same way, Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingtuo also have a very important cause and effect, and Lingtuo can also observe what he does.
But it doesn't matter. The plan to hunt down the Southern faction's top leaders is still in the idea stage and has not been implemented. The target has not even been found.
In this case, the future shown by the river of destiny is unclear, and even demigods cannot see it clearly, because human ideas are generated all the time.
For example, in the morning, Zhang Yuanqing looked at the young woman downstairs who looked very cute and moist. At this time, he had blasphemous thoughts in his heart. At noon, he looked at the aunt upstairs who was still charming and looked very hungry.
Thirst, easy to get started with, still had blasphemous thoughts in his heart.
But both ideas may not be put into action, so Zhang Yuanqing will not behave like Laowang in the future.
Therefore, as long as an idea has not been implemented, it is not considered the future and will not be observed.
But as soon as Zhang Yuanqing starts making plans, Lingtuo will definitely be able to observe them.
Zhang Yuanqing had anticipated this and had a plan to deal with it.
He opened the inventory, took out the companion spirit moon and put it on his forehead. In an instant, vine-like patterns spread all over his body, and he became a day traveler who majored in lunar.
Then, activate the night travel skill and enter invisibility.
In this state, the night travel skill has a hidden effect, and everything you think about and plan will not be revealed in the long river of destiny.
At least Lingtuo can't see it, because Lingtuo is the Lord of Taiyin, not the Lord of the Stars.
After entering the night tour, Zhang Yuanqing picked up the banknotes and wrote down a plan.
"Target mission: Third Elder, Ninth Elder.
"The third elder is an eighth-level nihilist, and the ninth elder is a seventh-level one. According to the habits of the southern sect's senior leaders, they mostly hide in the dream space they have woven. If our own combat power is sufficient, we don't need to spend months or even years.
As time goes by, as long as they enter the dream space and expel them from the dream, they can start a siege.
"Only I can expel dreams. I can use the Yata Mirror to create a clone. The three elders will be dealt with by me, Ms. JOJO, Deng Jingguo and the Master of Jishi Society.
"The Ninth Elder is to be dealt with by the clones, the Palace Master, the Demon Eye and Madoka. Except for me, these three people and Ling Tuo all have causes and effects. Their actions may be observed by Ling Tuo. It's okay if they are observed, so Ling Tuo will be patient.
Make arrangements for the Ninth Elder, and let my uncle and the marshal keep an eye on them when the time comes to ensure the safety of the three of them."
