Ruan Kongyin smiled and declined, saying, "The highest bidder wins."

"Tsk, straight man." Yan Shengzi rolled her eyes, then waved to Jiang Wuyuan and Huo Ling before turning and entering her private room.

Ruan Kongyin shook her head helplessly and led the two of them forward.

There are sixteen private rooms on the three-story building. Yan Shengzi is in room number fourteen, and Ruan Kongyin is in room number two.

This ranking is also based on the family's strength.

"We've arrived, let's go inside."

Ruan Kongyin was the first to push open the door.

Because of their high ranking, the VIP box offered a great view of the entire auction venue.

Huge floor-to-ceiling windows cover an entire wall, the leather sofa looks very comfortable, and there are also many exquisite tea snacks on the table.

The three sat down, and Ruan Kongyin handed the list she had received earlier to the two of them: "These are the auction items that will be available in a little while. You can take a look and see if there's anything that interests you."

Huo Ling took it with great interest: "It's quite thick. Looks like there are a lot of good stuff today."

Ruan Kongyin smiled gently: "The annual Zhantian City Auction attracts many famous families, so the auction items are naturally abundant."

Jiang Wuyuan didn't pay much attention to the roster.

The main reason is that he had spent all his credits on skills, and now he doesn't have many credits left—the auctions in Zhantian City can be paid for with credits, with 1 credit being equivalent to 1000 gold coins.

As for gold coins, needless to say, how could he possibly compare to these rich guys?

I'm here to broaden my horizons.

Jiang Wuyuan calmed himself down, his expression indifferent.

"Is there anything that Xiao Yuan is interested in?" Ruan Kongyin had looked at the roster and there were a few things that were quite suitable for Jiang Wuyuan. She wondered if he had any ideas.

Jiang Wuyuan was very frank: "I've used up all my credits."

Ruan Kongyin was taken aback at first, then her smile widened: "You really have... changed your skills?"

"Um."

Ruan Kongyin almost laughed, but she held it back.

The three hadn't been chatting for long when they saw the lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the private room dim, and a graceful figure in a beige cheongsam slowly walked onto the stage.

“She is Xia Yingxiang, one of the best auctioneers at Zhantian City Auction,” Ruan Kongyin introduced. “Since she officially took the stage, she has hosted the auctions almost every year. She is a very charming woman.”

"She does seem to be prettier than Fuyue," Huo Ling commented aptly.

Xia Yingxiang has an elegant and graceful appearance, with long, slightly wavy hair tied into an exquisite bun at the back of her head.

"Welcome, distinguished guests, to our annual Battle Sky City Auction." Xia Yingxiang smiled gently, her beautiful face even more dazzling under the spotlight. "I am Xia Yingxiang, today's auctioneer. I hope you all enjoy the auction tonight."

Without further ado, let me introduce the first item to you.

Xia Yingxiang clapped her hands lightly, and a servant came forward carrying a tray.

"The first item up for auction is a small prop from a special secret realm. After use, the user can instantly teleport to any location within a ten-mile radius. Three uses remain." Xia Yingxiang waved her slender hand, lifting the red cloth on the tray to reveal a token-like prop. "This is an essential escape tool for lucky people."

"A shrewd way of speaking," Jiang Wuyuan commented.

The phrase "any location" itself is full of uncertainty; it's not entirely impossible for someone to teleport directly to the enemy's face.

Ruan Kongyin smiled and said, "It's a pity that anyone who can reach this position isn't a shrewd person."

Jiang Wuyuan remained noncommittal.

"Starting price: 10,000 gold coins. Minimum bid increment: 500 gold coins. Auction begins!"

"Ten thousand!"

"Eleven thousand!"

"Fifteen thousand!"

"Twenty thousand!"

"Although its use is rather limited, it's still a space-related item, so it shouldn't be sold for such a low price, right?" Huo Ling said incredulously.

You should know that many of his clothes cost more than tens of thousands of yuan.

Jiang Wuyuan felt that at times like this, he wanted to wear the words "hatred of the rich" on his face.

Ruan Kongyin seemed to have noticed something and chuckled, "Most people probably still adhere to pragmatism."

Huo Ling shrugged.

"Fifty-three thousand gold coins once. Fifty-three thousand gold coins twice. Fifty-three thousand gold coins three times!" Xia Yingxiang tapped the small hammer in her hand lightly, producing a pleasant tapping sound. "Congratulations to the esteemed guest in Box C12 for winning our first item!"

This price is very low.

"Now that the warm-up is over, let's look forward to the second item." With a gentle wave of Xia Yingxiang's hand, the new item was presented. "The second item is a set of light armor crafted by a Rank 1 Earth-level blacksmith!"

As is well known, light armor is not a combat uniform, but its protective capabilities far surpass those of a combat uniform.

This light armor set is called the Que Lan Armor. It is made from a rare marine mineral and is the pinnacle of a craftsman's painstaking work.

According to our tests, it can withstand a full-force attack from a Grandmaster-level expert!

Whoosh—

The scene erupted in cheers.

After all, he was a grandmaster! A grandmaster who had mastered the power of laws!

Such an effect is already quite amazing.

Inside the private room, Huo Ling's eyes widened: "Wow, they're going all out right from the start. Based on the price of a sixth-tier item, it's worth at least 100 million gold coins."

Ruan Kongyin looked at this knowledgeable junior with newfound respect.

"Then, the starting bid is five million gold coins!" Xia Yingxiang smiled slightly and raised the small hammer in her hand high.

Listening to the endless bidding outside, Jiang Wuyuan leaned back on the sofa, indifferent to everything.
