I Open Treasure Chests in the Apocalypse

When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 429 Gun Master

On the auction stage, Jiang Yuan had already raised his gun, finding the feel of the God-Slaying Spear in this long spear.

A true master's attack is not limited to one method; his strength lies not in external forces, but in himself.

"The most powerful weapon is yourself!" Jiang Yuan's hands trembled, and the gun barrel bent into an arc.

However, in the next second, the seemingly fragile spear in Jiang Yuan's hand snapped back and straightened, then thrust itself straight at the touchstone.

"Has this guy gone mad? He's actually trying to hit a rock with an ordinary spear. Isn't that like throwing an egg against a rock?"

"No need to look anymore, the person who made this vow is just a show-off!"

A murmur of disbelief rippled through the audience, because Jiang Yuan's actions seemed utterly idiotic to them. Everyone knew that the gun had no chance against the touchstone; it would shatter upon contact—that was no exaggeration.

bite!

The iron spearhead pierced the touchstone. Jiang Yuan knew that an ordinary spear would break instantly when it encountered metal of this hardness, so he deliberately used a clever force when exerting his strength.

After a clang, a clear and melodious metallic sound rang out.

Jiang Yuan took only two seconds from the first thrust to the last, and in those two seconds, at least a hundred thrusts landed on the touchstone.

"What terrifying control!"

Few people in the arena could discern Jiang Yuan's movements, including Bu Yao, whose expression gradually became serious.

While she was at the sacred mountain, a senior swordsman once told her: The strength of a true swordsman lies not in the sword but in his heart. Having a sword heart is far more important than possessing a divine weapon.

"This is the continuous spring rain!" Jiang Yuan stopped what he was doing. Everything he had just done was just his understanding of the names of the Four Seasons Spear Technique, and he had exited that state after finishing the fight.

"No, we can still fire one more shot!"

Jiang Yuan muttered to himself like a madman, then suddenly stared at the touchstone, "That's right, Xia Lei has been awakened!"

The most unexpected thing was Xia Lei; this shot didn't require any thought!

"Don't think!"

Jiang Yuan's body, which had just stopped, suddenly lurched forward. Xia Lei's spear was a stroke of genius, so fast that even he himself was unaware of it.

"go!"

clang!

This time, it wasn't the crisp sound of the spear tip touching the touchstone, but the entire touchstone that was struck.

Ordinary weapons, such as this spear which even has difficulty penetrating the defense of a fifth-tier monster, have now pierced the touchstone by one centimeter!

"Insane!" Bu Yao had been observing Jiang Yuan's energy flow, and even she couldn't understand why that guy used so little energy to pierce the touchstone with an ordinary gun. It was very illogical!

It's no wonder that Bu Yao didn't understand, and even Jiang Yuan himself didn't understand. He only realized he had pierced the touchstone after thrusting out his spear.

However, after those two shots, Jiang Yuan had no further inspiration.

"One thousand and one ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones!"

After the performance, someone finally made a bid, and only one person did.

"No way, you're telling me my performance was a flop?" Jiang Yuan was really annoyed.

"Stop looking! This guy is a shill hired by the auction house!"

"Yes, if this Four Seasons Spear Technique is worth that price, I'll devour it on the spot. Otherwise, why would such a huge auction house need to ask for favors?"

A chorus of doubts rose and fell in the hall. "Piercing an ordinary gun into a touchstone—could this performance be any more fake? At least hire some decent shills!"

Jiang Yuan himself never expected that his brilliant move would actually serve as negative publicity.

"Holy Maiden, do you think it's a problem with that cultivation technique?" The man in ancient costume seemed to have noticed something, but his expression remained calm and composed, as if he had only watched a circus.

"He hasn't even learned any martial arts techniques, so how could it be because of them! This is the spear intent in his heart; he has reached the point where even grass and trees can be used as weapons!" Bu Yao said with a hint of admiration.

"It seems this person really cannot be allowed to live!" the man in ancient costume sneered.

Bu Yao remained silent. Although she did not want to kill innocent humans, she had no choice when it came to the survival of her race.

"One thousand and one yuan, for the first time!"

Jiang Yuan tried to liven up the atmosphere of the auction, but the more he tried, the more people thought he was a shill and ignored him completely.

"One thousand and one yuan, for the second time!"

"One thousand and one yuan, for the third time! Sold!"

Frustrated by the lack of a proper auction, Jiang Yuan sighed with relief that there was at least one discerning bidder; otherwise, it would have been incredibly embarrassing if the final item had failed to sell.

The person who bought the Four Seasons Spear Technique was an elder of the Liu family, whom Jiang Yuan did not know, but he felt a gaze upon him.

"Damn, is this woman up to something again?!" Jiang Yuan could only think of Liu Zhaodi. The Liu family bought the Four Seasons Gun Technique, so wasn't it her who bought it?

"Hurry up and start shooting the second one!" Liu Zhaodi walked forward with a radiant smile, her tone unusually proud.

"Hey, isn't this price a bit too high? It seems like nobody's interested!" Jiang Yuan winked at Liu Zhaodi. There was no other reason besides the price being off. After all, if the price were right, his sales skills would definitely make it impossible for the business to fail.

“These high-end auction items are different from low-end auction items. We need to have a precise customer positioning. Ordinary people can’t afford these prices. Since they can’t afford them, they’re just being sour grapes!” Liu Zhaodi explained.

"Really?" Jiang Yuan asked suspiciously.

"The second item is here, I'll bid this time!" Liu Zhaodi clapped her hands, and the Four Seasons Spear Technique was quickly taken down and handed over, while another glass case was pushed up.

Inside the glass case is an oval-shaped alien egg, about 30 centimeters long, with golden spots on its shell that are particularly eye-catching.

"Quiet down for a moment. I'm sure everyone is very curious about our second, most important treasure. So, let me tell you about its origin!"

Liu Zhaodi did not open the glass case, but walked to its side and said with an extremely solemn expression: "This strange beast egg was brought from Fengdu by the Liu family. For it, the entire Fengdu lost more than 100,000 people."

"If you call it a monster egg, it's more accurate to call it a divine beast egg. On the night of the cataclysm, it was ejected by the Golden Gate and landed on the dragon vein of Fengdu. In just a few days after landing, it absorbed the dragon vein power that Fengdu had accumulated for hundreds of years, forcing the once prosperous Fengdu to relocate its capital to the southern city!"

"The value of this egg is self-evident; it cannot be described with Holy Spirit Stones! However, because it belongs to all the people of Fengdu, our Liu family is auctioning it off according to their wishes. Of course, my Liu family will also participate in the bidding. You don't need to worry that my Liu family is a shill, because that would be an insult to Fengdu, and my Liu family of Fengdu cannot afford to lose face like that!"

Liu Zhaodi calmly introduced the alien beast egg, while Jiang Yuan's eyes were already shining, and he couldn't help but want to take the egg and leave.

"Identified by the Heavenly Eye!"

"Mythical Beast Egg (Descendant of Bai Ze): Subjected to the rules of the battlefield, it is unknown what will become of the sacred beast that once represented auspiciousness."
