Chapter 060 Imperial Capital Auction 6
In this continent, there is no such new form of online teaching or recorded classes. For a while, the scene fell into deathly silence.
The dukes present twirled the agate rings on their hands, with a half-smile in their eyes.
They found that Lin Muqiu was very good at talking, and he could maximize his own interests only when he tied his own interests together with the interests of others.
At this moment, standing behind her is not only herself, but also millions of civilians.
What a... terrifying enemy.
This is forcing them to comply. If they insist on bidding, if they lose the competition, not only will they lose face, but more importantly, they will appear petty and unkind in the eyes of ordinary people.
Could it be that he was just going to watch Lin Muqiu steal all the limelight?

Auction, backstage.
The Chamber of Commerce's manager was sweating profusely. "Sir, what should we do? If the dukes can't win a piece of equipment this time, wouldn't that be embarrassing? What if they secretly plot against us?"
Cesare said nothing.
At this moment, he believed in Lin Muqiu's appeal.
Natural disasters occurred frequently on the mainland, and the small territory's thirst for knowledge was unimaginable. Moreover, Lin Muqiu herself was a mage, and it was heard that many mages were bred in the territory. As for recording classes, she could do it.
Collecting donations is one thing, but on the other hand, Lin Muqiu’s real purpose is to put pressure on the nobles.
After all, the civilians in every town on the continent are watching. If they secretly obstruct the establishment of Lin Muqiu's Civilian Academy in the future, the influence and appeal of the imperial capital will decline.
In the past, no one could break through the information barrier of the imperial capital, but Lin Muqiu did it.
Cesare couldn't explain his feelings, because he personally delivered the invitation to Lin Muqiu at the request of all the nobles.
He secretly applauded the popularization of knowledge, but he didn't expect Lin Muqiu to plot against him directly.
It's really a case of losing both the wife and the army.
He suddenly smiled and said, "Not only can we not stop her, we have to deliver the equipment to her personally."
Chamber of Commerce Manager:?
*
Just as the scene fell into a long silence and the assistant on the stage was completely at a loss, not knowing whether to continue, the Chamber of Commerce manager had someone come out with the last five pieces of equipment, smiling.
His signature smile was quite contagious. "I've heard that Lord Lin Muqiu wants to establish a civilian academy. The Central Chamber of Commerce naturally has to support it, so we specially invited this young lady to come."
Cesare slowly entered the room, his words flowing freely. "Long beforehand, I had secretly discussed with all the nobles present that the remaining five pieces of equipment would be donated free of charge to Miss Lin's Commoner Academy as a gift. Actually, the first auction was just a get-together and a surprise for Miss Lin. The second auction will officially begin in three days."
In one sentence, he cleared all the nobles present of their previous actions, without offending anyone.
The expressions of the nobles present improved a little.
Fortunately, Lord Cesare is a sensible person, otherwise, in the end, no matter who took the photo of these equipment, the scene would not be good.
This is good. They earned a reputation for understanding the people's hearts and supporting education. Cesare earned their favor. Lin Muqiu got the equipment for free. Everyone is happy!
The nobles understood what he meant and cooperated with the Chamber of Commerce manager's poor acting. They stood up to congratulate Lin Muqiu, changing their previous arrogance and showing generosity and kindness.
Lin Muqiu knew when to stop, and stood up with a look of surprise and shook hands with each of them, "What a surprise."
Everything was so harmonious, except for the Chamber of Commerce's manager who shed tears of regret.
What a surprise! He didn't pay for it all by himself!
Fortunately, it was over and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Lin Muqiu doesn't come here in the future, anything will be fine.
The next second, he heard Lin Muqiu jokingly say, "In that case, I will be at the second auction as scheduled."
The nobles turned pale and almost fell down.
Cesare, who was shaking hands with Lin Muqiu, shuddered and tried to maintain a smile. "You're busy building a civilian academy, so I won't bother you with coming here again."
"Okay, just a joke." Lin Muqiu smiled.
Everyone: It’s not funny at all!
Kedero on the side was dumbfounded.
A banquet witnessed the birth of 800 heart-eyes.

Noon in the Royal Capital, Royal Restaurant.
Lin Muqiu pushed the steak and red wine on the table in front of Kedeluo, indicating why he hadn't eaten yet, "Try it? I heard it tastes good."
The steak was juicy and tender, with a tough texture. Kedero cut it into pieces gracefully and ate a piece, which calmed him down.
Opposite him, Lin Muqiu ate so much that his cheeks were bulging, and he was dancing like a little hamster, looking really happy.
Otherwise, given her money-loving personality, she would definitely not be able to accept the extremely high prices in the imperial capital, let alone eat here.
Yes, it's hard not to be excited when you earn enough fame, equipment, and even a lot of money without spending a penny.
Kedero couldn't help but curl his lips.
It's really satisfying.
"Oh, and this meal is your treat."
Kedero:?
"Why?"
He was completely shocked. "Shouldn't I pay for my own?"
Lin Muqiu casually tossed the blood drop pendant to him, saying vaguely, "You can use it while you're teaching, until you buy the pendant in full."
Kedero took it in a panic, his tongue tangled, "But, but, isn't it free?"
Lin Muqiu took a gulp of water to stop choking and said confidently, "Without my strategy, how could this necklace be obtained for free?"
After a moment of silence, Kedero was successfully brainwashed by her, and said with a self-blaming tone, "Actually, I didn't help you much this time."
Lin Muqiu smiled mysteriously, "No, you'll know when the time comes."
Just as Kede Luo was about to frown and say something, he saw a little man suddenly appear out of thin air next to Lin Muqiu.
He was startled, and when he found out it was Yun Yi, he was even more stunned. "Doesn't the Royal Capital Restaurant have a magic shield? How did you teleport here?"
Lin Muqiu wiped his hands with a tissue and looked at him leisurely.
Yun Yi was a little embarrassed, lowering her head and twisting her fingers, "Master, I am your prop..."
Lin Muqiu suddenly realized, "So you put yourself into the storage ring and followed me here?"
"Well," Yun Yi's voice was a little muffled, "Master, you won't blame me, right?"
"That's not the case..." Lin Muqiu was a little surprised. Seeing his lips chapped, she subconsciously pushed the water in front of her towards him so that he could moisten his throat. "But I remember that you hate staying in the ring the most, don't you?"
During this period, after eating together for a long time, she has become familiar with many things about Yun Yi, just as Yun Yi is familiar with her.
Yun Yi's body trembled slightly.
Memories of the past surfaced before him. When he was still a small system, he was constantly forced to input various data to fix the endless bugs. In the vast and endless ocean of data, there was nothing. He lay there alone, inputting and inputting like a machine.
Even so, he was once considered a defective product in the eyes of many systems.
Because he has feelings.
So he would refuse to enter data and even want to destroy himself. This is truly incredible and has never happened before in the system world.
Fortunately, he met Lin Muqiu and was bound to her for life.
He smiled at Lin Muqiu, "Master, I just want to have dinner with you, is that okay?"
Lin Muqiu hummed, his tone pitying, "If you like it, eat more. It's not the master who pays for it anyway."
Kedero: “…”
Yun Yi: “…”

Ankang Town.
The construction team quickly started construction according to the architectural drawings.
Gold-grade drawings have built-in bug repair functions. Once the construction team makes any mistakes, it will automatically remind and report errors, which is very intelligent.
Lin Muqiu keeps an eye on the progress every day and uses the Lord System to make timely adjustments and repairs. It is like building Lego from a God's perspective, which is really fun.
Every time an area is completed, the golden blueprint turns black, giving you a great sense of accomplishment.
She, Parker De Luo, was responsible for purchasing the raw materials in the imperial capital, and the construction team was responsible for the construction. She just sat there waiting for the completion, feeling a rare sense of contentment.
The construction team was divided into several groups, each responsible for a different area. As the days passed, the progress was very fast.
Grace is one of them.
Construction is supposed to be very dangerous, but she inexplicably felt very happy while doing it and not tired at all.
To this day, her leg is unfortunately pierced by steel bars.
After pulling out the steel bars, Medea and Vera pressed down her legs to stop the bleeding, then shakily took out a health-restoring potion and fed it to her.
After she finished drinking, she limped to a small bench nearby to rest, unable to describe her mood.
"Mom, are you sad?" Her daughter anxiously wiped the sweat from the tip of her nose due to the pain.
"No." She picked up her daughter, but her eyes were secretly wet.
I originally thought that by becoming a member of the construction team, I could survive the times when I had no money. Now that my leg is lame, I am bound to lose my job. My daughter is still young, and I am alone. What should I do?
The refugees who had come with them scoffed, "I told you there's nothing good about being a member of the engineering team. Not only is it dangerous, but the pay is also low. The lords are all about exploiting the townspeople, so how can there be anything good about it?"
Grace was not good at arguing, so she could only stammer, "I can only blame it on my bad luck, not Lord Lin."
Her daughter jumped down and angrily said to the refugee, "I see you're just jealous! Because you didn't sign up for the construction team! But it was you who hesitated and didn't decide where to settle down, so someone else got there first."
The refugee was hit on the heartstrings and became angry and humiliated, "How come you only know how to talk nonsense?!"
"What are you arguing about?" Medea walked over slowly and handed an envelope to Grace. "This is the compensation from the Lord."
Grace was stunned, took it and said thank you.
The wallet was bulging with at least dozens of silver coins.
The refugees nearby widened their eyes.
Ever since Grace was hired by the engineering team, she had delicious meal allowances every day, bought new clothes for her daughter, and saved some money to send her to school, he had been extremely jealous.
I finally got the chance to kick someone when they were down, and wow, they even got compensation for their injuries!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Even if I get the subsidy, what can I do? This injury won't heal in a day or two."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Grace's leg healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The system broadcast sounded throughout the town:
[Civilian Academy: Gold-level Building
Project progress: 30%
Effect: Increases townspeople's mood and health.
Skill: Primary holy light healing effect. Those who study or improve skills in the academy for more than 30 minutes will be healed.
(Skills can be upgraded and upgraded as the project progresses)
Note: The direction of skill evolution is consistent with the characteristics of the building.
The refugees were shocked and felt like they were slapped in the face.
The rest of the people present gasped, all of them were surprised.
The preliminary results are so astonishing even before the project is completed. How much more exciting will it be once it's finished?!
