Tong Xi was not stupid. He knew that Jin Manshan wanted to embarrass him. However, since you personally delivered the invitation letter, it was the first time in the entire academy that a noble gave an invitation to a commoner. How could he refuse?

Of course, in order to avoid Jin Manshan's attention, Tong Xi deliberately pretended that he might escape, so that Jin Manshan would catch him at the beginning of the auction, and then he would create a wave of momentum.

As a commoner, Tong Xi and Jin Manshan appeared at the same time, and the news that he was even invited by Jin Manshan to participate in the auction, under Tong Xi's deliberate instructions, I believe that it will soon reach the ears of other students. Of course, this is all for common students. For noble students, Tong Xi has another method. That is, to get close to the dean of the Alchemy Department.

Because he has been in this academy for seven years, he knows a lot of things

. Even though he is a commoner, he has known the strength of the dean of the Alchemy Department for a long time, and he has tried to get close to him. Although he didn't get a very good look from him, at least he became familiar with him. He had successfully made a name for himself by relying on the precious materials he got when he went out to do missions. He didn't say what he wanted before, but he told the dean of the Alchemy Department that he hoped to say hello to him when they met.

This auction was to auction the things of the dean of the Alchemy Department. Tong Xi deliberately delayed the time until the last minute, waiting for the dean

of the Alchemy Department Shan Shan to arrive late before entering the auction venue, and staged a nodding acquaintance with the dean of the Alchemy Department on the spot. Although Jin Manshan was hostile to her and the dean of the Alchemy Department had nothing to do with her, Tong Xi, who was good at hype, merged the two together. According to Tong Xi's little calculation, Jin Manshan and other students thought that he had a good relationship with the dean of the Alchemy Department. The dean of the Alchemy Department suspected that she had some relationship with Jin Manshan and the chief dean.

Tong Xi could achieve a balance of power without making a sound, letting both parties speculate about each other, while he stepped on them to get to the top. Then, he could spread the news that he was more noble than the nobles.

This wave of operations can be said to be a plan without any omissions. But unfortunately, he was a step too late.

Jin Manshan was bribed by Cheng Qijiu, and the dean of the Alchemy Branch became Cheng Qijiu's apprentice. Therefore, Tong Xi's wishful thinking is likely to fail.

Of course, it can't be seen now.

Tong Xi walked in triumphantly with his head raised but pretending to be humble, enduring countless envious eyes of civilians and doubtful and probing eyes of some nobles. Jin Manshan

and the dean of the Alchemy Branch, who should have been suspicious of each other, looked at each other and rolled their eyes at the same time.

The reason why they are standing here is all because of Cheng Jiujiu, and now, everyone has started to show off. But it's just right, after all, Jiujiu said that she needs to keep a low profile for the time being. She needs time to study those disappeared treasures and doesn't want to get involved in those intrigues.

Not to mention, this guy is really suitable for attracting other people's attention.

Since you like to show off so much, then they will fulfill your wish. Praise first, and then kill when you are tired of praising, that's how it works. As for Cheng Jiujiu, he can just stay at the back. Under

the deliberate guidance of the two people, Tong Xi is simply the center of attention.

Even during the auction, Tong Xi took out his small treasury that he had accumulated over the years and successfully bid for a very valuable item - a maple leaf.

Tong Xi's name has become the most famous in the entire Magic and Martial Arts Academy.

You know, Tong Xi is just a commoner, why is he so rich? That must be because he has a good relationship with Jin Manshan, or a good relationship with the dean of the Alchemy Branch. Otherwise, it is impossible to be so rich!

If it was just a guess before, it is basically certain now. After the auction ended, Tong Xi became the biggest winner.

On the other side, in the basement of the Alchemy Building.

Sitting there were Jin Manshan, who had just made a fortune, the dean of the Alchemy Branch, and the real winner Cheng Jiujiu.

"Xiao Jiujiu, I suspect that Tong Xi may have obtained some treasure. The protection fees he collected from those civilians and the money he earned in exchange for completing missions are simply not enough to make so much money. This guy must have stepped on some shit luck to get into a place and got something good." Many things are no longer so secrets once they are made public. Jin Manshan had a brief chat with the dean before and knew that the guy had nothing to do with each other.

"I think he's right. Tongxi is a tight-fisted person on weekdays. He has never been so generous because he is smooth in dealing with things. He wanted to build a good relationship with me before, but because he has no money, he can only leave in disgrace. I suspect that this kid got something good during the holidays." The dean of the branch also thought so, and even touched his goatee to guess how rich the treasure that guy got was.

"Since he has money, then, Xiao Jinzi, you should know how to take the money out." Cheng Jiujiu raised his eyebrows and hooked Jin Manshan's shoulder in a friendly manner.

Jin Manshan tilted his head, "Robbery is not a good idea." Although he said this, his eyes told Cheng Qijiu that as long as Cheng Qijiu gave a good suggestion, he would not recommend robbing money in a reasonable way.

"Why rob? Is it because we don't have enough stuff to sell? Is there anything more profitable than refining gold?" Cheng Qijiu rolled his eyes at him. Robbery was too vulgar, it would be better to let his apprentice do it himself. What we have to do is to make him willingly pay the money, and then, let him despair.

"So direct? That guy was fooled once, can he be fooled a second time? I didn't expect that a small leaf is so valuable! But, if there is another leaf, it won't be so valuable. We can't force him to buy the other leaves." Jin Manshan touched his chin and thought it was feasible. However, his relationship with Tong Xi was not really good, and money was not so easy to cheat.

"We are doing a serious business, how can we bully people casually? Of course, we will continue the auction. Since he wants to get close to us, how can he not spend enough money?" Cheng Jiujiu relied on the master-disciple relationship between him and the branch director and made the decision directly on behalf of his little apprentice.

"You mean, there are other things to sell?" How did Jin Manshan know that this master and apprentice were not the same master and apprentice? Although he was excited, he still retained some rationality to ask the branch director. "Well, branch director, how did you come up with the idea of ​​holding auctions in succession?"

"Lack of money." The Alchemy Branch Director rolled his eyes at him and replied.

Anyway, his own things are meaningless. The knowledge taught by his favorite master now, if it weren't for the master saying that she wanted to do something, the branch director would not even be interested in things outside.

Jin Manshan, "..."

I like your concise answer. Although he didn't quite believe it, just give him the things. Satisfied with getting a wave of good things from the Alchemy Branch Director, Jin Manshan went out again to promote the auction.

Before leaving, he gave Cheng Xijiu a thumbs up. You know, before Cheng Xijiu came, the dean of the Alchemy Department rarely sold his own things, but now he actually agreed to sell anything he wanted.

It must not be as simple as lack of money, it must be because Cheng Xijiu is amazing!

In order to empty Tongxi's pockets, Jin Manshan started to hold an auction every day. Moreover, the items auctioned every day were better than the items sold the day before. After all, the branch director has lived for so many years and has no shortage of good things.

Tongxi suspected at first that it was directed at her, but every time she sold something more, the Alchemy Branch Director's attitude towards her would be a little better. Every time, Tongxi felt that as long as she spent a little more money, she could successfully conquer this branch director.

In order to increase her favorability, Tongxi almost spent herself to bankruptcy.

The Alchemy Branch Director also maintained a superficial relationship with him. At least it seemed that the relationship between the two was getting better and better. As long as she could build a good relationship with the branch director, she would definitely not be short of money in the future.

Therefore, Tong Xi spent all her money on the branch director.

But no matter how she spent it, there was still a thin line of relationship between them, and the two people did not seem to be that close. Finally, Tong Xi found out that the branch director of Alchemy was studying the legendary inventions of electricity, and had even begun to restore several of them.

In this case...

Tong Xi found an opportunity to ask the branch director out to a cemetery, and after a short adventure, she said with great emotion that she was a descendant of the great ancestor.

She could understand those words, but unfortunately, her talent was limited, and she had no way to make the ancestor's things. If the branch director was willing, he would be willing to teach him. But there is a prerequisite, that is, you have to swear to follow him from now on and not leak it.

His words are very tempting, but it's a pity. Cheng Qijiu took action first, and compared to this hypocritical person, the branch director prefers Cheng Qijiu's directness.

However, the branch director does not deny people. If this person appears first, then he will most likely agree.

But unfortunately, after having Cheng Qijiu as a comparison, he is unwilling to cooperate with him. As the saying goes, old people are cunning,

and the branch director never gave in. Tong Xi, who has invested everything, has no way out. Afraid that the branch director would not believe it, he even took out the other half of the stone tablet. He was sure that the branch director could not understand the content on it at all.

After all, this guy has lived for more than 300 years. If he could understand it, he would not be so obsessed with alchemy. After all, this thing is actually nothing special.

In order to make himself look credible, Tong Xi even talked about some principles of invention. Of course, he did not say the most important thing. When the branch director saw the stone tablet, his eyes flashed. However, he still did not agree, saying that he would go back and think about it.

That night, the text on the stone tablet appeared in front of Cheng Jiujiu.

He could not understand it, but Cheng Jiujiu could understand it. When Tong Xi did not notice, the branch director used the memory crystal to record the contents of the stone tablet.

The complete and original stone tablet appeared in front of Cheng Jiujiu.

Coupled with the conversation between Tong Xi and the branch director, Cheng Jiujiu finally truly understood the mission of this world.

This is probably a world where a time traveler wants to snatch the protagonist's halo from himself, a native. According to this logic, it is probably a story about the time traveler getting along well with the original owner, and then taking the opportunity to kill the original owner, and snatching the protagonist's halo.

Poor original owner, she even fell in love with the man with an unfaithful heart.

Tsk, so miserable!

The original owner is a loser, but Cheng Jiujiu is not. This is probably a story

about a time traveler meeting himself, a fast-traveling tasker, and seeing who has the better skills. According to this logic, it means that this time traveler wants to kill himself and take away everything from him, and he is also responsible for conquering him. It has to be said that this is an impossible task.

The most crucial thing is that in each mission world, Cheng Jiujiu has restrictions, that is, he cannot attack the protagonist. Whether he takes the initiative or pushes others to kill the protagonist, it will cause the mission to fail and he will be wiped out.

Therefore, in this mission world, Cheng Jiujiu has to endure the male protagonist pitting himself, harming himself, and killing himself endlessly, and he cannot kill him in return and has to let him go, and continue to watch people hate him.

I have to say that this system is really disgusting.

On the stone tablet belonging to the male protagonist, there are many detailed processes of invention. The reason why the male protagonist did not research it, Cheng Jiujiu had to suspect that he might have been a liberal arts student before he crossed over, and he was not proficient in liberal arts and science, so even if others taught him hand in hand, he would not be able to do it.

It has to be said that Cheng Jiujiu's learning ability is the real plug-in. Moreover, it is the kind that no one can take away.

After reading the things recorded above, Cheng Jiujiu can roughly go through the process in his mind and know how to make them. In fact, the predecessors who traveled through time have already picked out the substitutes of the things needed in this world, and there is no need for Cheng Jiujiu to try one by one.

You know, apart from his brain, Cheng Jiujiu's luck is also unmatched. Even in such a disgusting mission world, Cheng Jiujiu has found a way to avoid being wronged and even get rid of the system. That is the last line of words on the stone tablet,
