After DouDou finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the audience, followed by a murmur of whispers.
Most people looked blank, clearly because they hadn't come last time and had no idea what items were auctioned last time.
"Are the items related to the previous auction?"
"What can it be?"
"A elixir? A soul-guided device?"
"It can't possibly be related to that girly pink bunny ear pajamas, can it?"
"Could it be that they kidnapped that girl and sold her?!"
"Hey, hey, hey, we've gone off on a tangent!"
In the crowd, in an inconspicuous corner, a smile appeared on Tang San's face.
He turned his head and whispered to Xiao Wu beside him.
"Xiao Wu, you'll soon find out why I'm so confident in telling you to rest assured."
"This is what I've been preparing for these past few days!"
Xiao Wu tilted her head, looking at Tang San with a puzzled expression.
"What?"
Tang San simply smiled and did not answer directly, gesturing for Xiao Wu to continue watching.
On the auction stage, seeing that the atmosphere had built up enough, DouDou continued to offer suggestions.
"Does everyone remember?"
“An unprecedented item appeared in the last auction.”
"It does not require soul power to activate it."
"But it can kill a Soul Master."
"It even poses a certain threat to Soul King level experts!"
As soon as these words were spoken, some people in the audience immediately realized what was going on.
"It's the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow!"
Someone immediately shouted out that name.
Someone nearby looked puzzled.
What is the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow?
Immediately, someone offered an enthusiastic explanation.
"Don't you know?"
"It's the artifact that appeared at the last auction."
"It is made of black iron and can hold sixteen black iron arrows."
"Within fifty meters, it can break through the defensive soul skills of a four-ring Soul Master."
"That thing is simply the nemesis of low- to mid-level Soul Masters."
Inside one of the private rooms, there were people dressed in the standard uniforms of the Heavenly Dou Empire's army.
Howard, the military commander of the Barak Kingdom garrison of the Heavenly Dou Empire, was in his forties and had a serious face.
He turned to look at Zhang Chen beside him.
“Zhang Chen, the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow you handed over last time was indeed very important.”
Upon hearing his boss say this, Zhang Chen's face immediately lit up with joy.
"I only hope that my brothers can improve their combat effectiveness."
Howard nodded in agreement.
However, the next moment, a look of regret appeared on his face.
"After the test."
“I invited a master from the blacksmiths’ association to disassemble it.”
Even he praised it highly.
"but......"
"But in the end, it could not be reproduced."
Zhang Chen's face darkened.
"My lord, this..."
"I truly did not know that this thing had anti-tamper features!"
Howard did not directly reply to Zhang Chen's words.
He simply looked at the auction house and said calmly.
"How I wish I could get information about the owner of that auction item through the Qibao Auction House."
"pity......"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is good at doing business."
"Absolutely nothing to say."
"We simply can't get the customer's information."
Howard's gaze was fixed on the auction stage.
"Could it be..."
"Another Zhuge Repeating Crossbow has appeared today, or rather, a new weapon of mass destruction?"
On the auction stage, DouDou observed the reactions of the audience and knew that the atmosphere had been sufficiently built up.
Her smile grew even brighter.
"Distinguished guests."
"Everyone guessed correctly."
"This item."
"It is indeed related to the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow."
"But... it's not the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow."
"It's a completely new weapon!"
Once again, gasps of surprise rose from the audience.
"What?"
"A brand new weapon?!"
"Is it even more powerful than Zhuge's Repeating Crossbow?"
"That can't be!"
DouDou's smile widened.
She gestured to the maid to bring over a tray.
On the tray was a metal object about the size of a palm.
It is completely black.
It doesn't look particularly remarkable.
"This is the eighth item."
Its name is "Hidden Insults"!
She picked up the metal object and showed it to herself.
"It is forged from refined iron through countless hammerings!"
"The size of a palm."
"But it hides a secret!"
"With a gentle press, thirty-six poison-coated steel needles shot out instantly!"
"and."
"It can fire three times in a row!"
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.
"Thirty-six steel needles!"
"It can fire in rapid succession!"
DouDou continued her introduction.
After DouDou finished speaking, she grabbed it and gently pressed a button on the side of the steel plate behind her.
"laugh!"
A soft sound.
Thirty-six tiny steel needles shot out instantly.
It moves at an extremely high speed, making it almost impossible to catch.
As the steel needle was fired, a cloud of pale yellow mist instantly spread out, obscuring the needle's trajectory.
Then, she pressed the button again, and two more bursts of steel needles and mist shot out.
"Within a range of fifteen meters, it can penetrate a steel plate that is one centimeter thick."
"Based on the assessment."
"The destructive power of this attack is enough to pose a threat to Soul Masters at or below the Three-Ring Soul Master level!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gasp of surprise erupted from the audience.
Some people are amazed by its small size and stealth.
Some people, however, were dissatisfied.
