Chapter 146 The Prince took away the Jade-faced Young Master?!
Mid-game climax: "Clever and Exquisite Know-it-all Waiter" (Primary Intelligent Service Puppet, Magic Modified Version)
When two human-shaped figures, about four feet tall, made of unknown silver metal and warm jade, with smooth lines and full of strange beauty, were pushed onto the stage, the whole audience fell silent again!
Dongfang Yuning smiled slightly and snapped his fingers.
A gentle blue light shone in the eyes of the two waiters, and they bowed to the audience smoothly and gracefully, their movements in perfect unison without any delay!
"Greetings, distinguished guests. I am a skilled waiter from the Tiangong Pavilion, dedicated to serving you."
A clear, pleasant and non-mechanical voice sounded!
Dongfang Yuning began to show:
"Serve tea!"
The waiter picked up the tea tray with great precision and poured tea for the distinguished guests in the front row smoothly, without a drop of tea leaking out!
"Record!"
A blue light flashed in the waiter's eyes, and he projected a light curtain (low-brightness harmless light) out of thin air, which displayed the auction information and bidding records in real time!
“Lead the way!”
The waiter walked steadily, leading a lost maid back to her seat.
"This is the waiter Linglong Baixiao!"
Dongfang Yuning's voice was filled with unparalleled pride.
"Neither metal nor wood, but a gift from the spirit of heaven and earth! It understands human intentions and has a photographic memory! It can serve daily life, manage accounts, protect safety (demonstrates blocking moves), and even entertain!
Loyal and devoted, never two hearts! There is only one such pair in the world! Starting price: 200,000 taels of gold! Each bid must not be less than 20,000 taels!
System 118 (screaming and cracked):
[Holy crap! Host! King bomb! Such class! Such technology! Such service! Starting bid of 200,000?! You really dare to ask for it!]
The system displays the waiter's head with the labels "AI Butler" and "Cyberpunk"
Dongfang Yuning:
[Basic shit! Tongzi! This is a groundbreaking product! It's the only one of its kind! Do you understand monopoly? Two hundred thousand? I think it can be doubled! Look at the looks of those kings, high priests, and super-rich! They're like hungry wolves!]
The whole place exploded! This was completely beyond their comprehension!
"Two hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
Yun Ming, the High Priest of Tianyuan, was the first to speak, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"Three hundred thousand taels!"
A wealthy maritime merchant who is as wealthy as a country.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
A technology fanatic (suspected) king in the Western Continent.
"Four hundred thousand taels!"
Princess Qingming joins the battle again.
"Five hundred thousand taels!"
The cold voice of the mysterious cloaked lady was like thunder!
The price was like a wild horse running wild! In the end, this pair of clever waiters who subverted cognition were bought by a mysterious cloaked lady with great wealth and who seemed to have an obsessive pursuit of "future technology" for a staggering 750,000 taels of gold!
The Yan people were all petrified and pinched their thighs to no avail:
Seventy-seven hundred and fifty thousand taels... two pieces of iron... Your Highness... Your Highness seems to be drawing his sword... Where are Shen Huli's abacus... where are the beads? Oh, he crushed them in his excitement...
In the background, Shen Xiaoyun looked at the astronomical figures that constantly refreshed his cognition, breathing rapidly and his eyes were red!
Behind him, a dozen female accountants were moving their fingers quickly and making sparks fly from the abacus beads!
Every transaction is like the most powerful stimulant injected into his veins!
System 118 (Real-time Report)】:
[Ding! Director Shen has entered the ultimate ecstasy state of 'counting money until his hands cramp'!
Sanity -99%, 'Money Ability' Awakening 200%! (The system displays a cute version of Shen Xiaoyun, with gold coins raining down on his head and a giant '$' symbol behind him)]
Finale: "Dongxu Mirage Device" (Holographic Projection Device, Modified Version)
When the last lot was pushed up, it was just a square object covered with a thick black cloth, more than one meter tall.
Dongfang Yuning's expression was solemn, and his voice carried an almost sacred allure:
"Everyone! This is today's most precious treasure—the Dongxu Instrument! Its power is beyond words! Please look!"
She waved her hand!
The black cloth slipped off!
A metal cube with an ancient shape and covered with mysterious runes appeared. There was no light, no sound.
Just when everyone was confused, Dongfang Yuning activated the mechanism (system connection).
Buzz——
A soft light shot out from the top of the cube and quickly spread out above the auction table!
In an instant!
A turquoise sea, a blue sky, golden sands, and coconut palms! A vivid scene appears out of thin air! You can even hear the sound of the waves and smell the salty, wet sea breeze!
A huge seabird made of light and shadow, with gorgeous feathers, flew gracefully over everyone's heads, making a clear cry!
The scene changed again! Towering snow-capped mountains, glaciers pouring down! The cold wind seemed to blow in my face!
Change again! A bustling exotic street market, bustling with people, the sounds of hawkers can be faintly heard!
Another transformation! It actually projected lifelike, full-length images of several of the most distinguished guests present! Even the folds of their clothing were crystal clear!
The entire place was dead silent! You could hear a pin drop! Everyone's mouths dropped open, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets! This... is this a miracle?!
"Dongxu Instrument!"
Dongfang Yuning's voice is like a huge bell, striking deep in everyone's soul.
"You can fit Mount Sumeru into a mustard seed, and reflect the heavens in a square inch! Without leaving your home, you can enjoy the wonders of the world! Look back at the past and glimpse a corner of the future (exaggeration)!"
This is a supreme artifact that bridges the gap between reality and illusion! It's the only one in the world! Starting price: 500,000 taels of gold! Each bid must be no less than 50,000 taels!"
System 118 (on the verge of downtime):
[Host... Host... You are not just cutting leeks... You are pulling up the leeks by the roots and scraping away the soil in the process!
Starting bid: 500,000?! And it's the only one of its kind?! (The system displays an animation of the Earth being cut in half by a golden sickle)
Dongfang Yuning: [Structure! Tongzi! We need structure! What does this thing mean to the king and the high priest? Strategic significance! Pretentious significance! Priceless! Watch out, it's going to break records!]
After a brief silence, there was a crazy bidding like a volcanic eruption!
"Six hundred thousand taels!"
The voice of Tianyuan High Priest Yun Ming trembled, and his eyes were filled with fanaticism that was determined to win!
"Seven hundred thousand taels!"
The technological mad king of Western Continent.
"Eight hundred thousand taels!"
A maritime merchant as wealthy as a country.
"One million taels!"
Princess Qingming's voice was filled with determination to burn her boats!
"One million and two hundred thousand taels!"
The voice of the mysterious cloaked lady was still icy cold, but with a barely perceptible gasp.
"One million and a half taels!!!"
High Priest Yunming suddenly stood up and slammed his staff down on the ground! This was the limit of his power!
Finally, under the gazes of countless shocked, greedy, and heartbroken people, this Dongxu Instrument, which symbolized a miracle, was bought by the Tianyuan High Priest Yun Ming at a staggering price of 1.5 million taels of gold!
He sat down as if exhausted, but his eyes were shining with immense satisfaction.
The souls of all the Yan people left their thighs? What thighs? They've already been pinched off...
[One... one million and a half million... gold... Did you... did you empty the Tianyuan treasury? Where's the prince... the prince?]
Where is Nangong Ye?
When the mysterious cloaked lady shouted out 1.2 million taels and the high priest Yunming shouted out 1.5 million taels, the figure in the box on the second floor who had been emitting a terrifying low pressure finally exploded completely!
He stood up suddenly! The dark-colored prince's robe fluttered without wind!
A tangible, bone-chilling murderous aura instantly spread! The temperature in the entire box plummeted to freezing point!
He stared intently at the handsome young man on the stage, whose eyes were still shining with excitement over the 1.5 million taels deal. Then he looked at the noble ladies and some noble men from various countries below the stage, who were still glued to her with passionate, obsessed, and even possessive gazes...
The string of reason has completely broken!
What auction? What debut? What one and a half million taels? Damn it all!
His Ning'er! His Ning'er alone! How could he allow others to covet her like this?!
Under the watchful eyes of Shen Xiaoyun and the terrified gaze of the twin princes, Nangong Ye rushed out of the box in an instant like a black lightning!
Before anyone could react, he appeared on the auction table like a ghost!
"ah!"
Dongfang Yuning felt a flash before her eyes, and her wrist was grabbed by a huge hand like an iron clamp! An irresistible force came over her, and her whole body was spinning in an instant!
The next second, she was carried on Nangong Ye's shoulders in an extremely domineering and possessive posture!
"The auction is over! Everyone, please do as you please!"
The voice, as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice, filled with overwhelming anger and unquestionable pressure, exploded like thunder in the silent hall!
Everyone: “!!!”
Everyone was stunned! What had happened? Prince Yong…had carried that gorgeous auctioneer away?!
Nangong Ye didn't give anyone a chance to react. He carried Dongfang Yuning, who was still in a daze with her face down, and ignored the countless astonished, inquiring, and even heartbroken gazes behind him.
Ignoring Shen Xiaoyun's laughter that he finally couldn't hold back, and ignoring the twin princes' shouts of "Uncle Royal is mighty!" (in their hearts), he strode straight through the silent crowd and headed towards the depths of the palace!
His steps were firm and swift, with an aura of "kill gods if they stand in your way, kill Buddha if they stand in your way"!
System 118 (downtime and restarting...):
[Ding! Host forced displacement detected! Displacement method: Shoulder-mounted! Executor: Furious·Jealous King·Ye!]
Displacement Target: Deep within the palace, an unspeakable place! Alert! Host! Best of luck to you! This system... is leaving now!]
The system went offline quickly, leaving a busy tone.
Dongfang Yuning finally reacted, and punched Nangong Ye's hard back with her little fist. She was embarrassed and anxious, and lowered her voice to scream:
"Nangong Ye! What are you doing! Put me down! The auction isn't over yet! There's still some finishing touches... Ugh!"
The protest was interrupted by Nangong Ye slapping her extremely elastic buttocks.
"Shut up!"
Nangong Ye's voice came out from between his teeth, carrying with it an extremely suppressed anger and a certain dangerous signal.
"I'll settle the score with you when we get back! Dressed like that to attract attention?!"
The Yan people finally stopped pinching their thighs and began rubbing the bruises instead: [This is over... Princess... I'm afraid you'll have to sacrifice yourself for art tonight...]
The auction hall, after a dead silence, exploded!
"Just now...was that Prince Yong?"
"He...he carried that young man away?!"
"Oh my god! The domineering prince falls in love with the pretty auctioneer?!"
"I told you there was something special between them! That look! That possessiveness!"
"Wuwuwu... My jade-faced young master..."
"One million and a half taels! My Dongxu Instrument!"
High Priest Yunming wailed belatedly after realizing what was happening.
Chen Xiaoyun, on the other hand, walked leisurely onto the auction stage, an impeccable, victorious smile plastered on his face. His fox eyes swept over the crowd below, who were still immersed in the huge gossip and the shocking aftermath.
"Dear guests, please be patient! Princess Fuxing... cough, the auctioneer just now was feeling a little unwell, and His Royal Highness Prince Yong is taking him to rest for a while.
All transaction records of this auction are authentic and valid! Please present your number badges to the back of the auction to complete the settlement procedures, which will be handled by our financial director...oh, that's me."
He paused, his smile deepened, with a hint of foxy cunning:
"In addition, the second permanent exhibition area of Tiangong Pavilion has been opened, which contains more surprising Fuxing creations. We welcome everyone to continue to appreciate and purchase!
The Yueji Pavilion Yanmao District Branch has also prepared exquisite refreshments and new product displays, and we look forward to your presence! The auction will continue tomorrow, so please pay close attention~~~"
System 118 (Resurrected in the background)
[Ding! Fox Shen! Well done! Seamless transition! Second harvest! There's not a single leek root left this time!]
The system shows the "Best Support MVP" trophy appearing above Shen Xiaoyun's head.
The grand opening of Tiangongge's second branch ended at its climax in an extremely dramatic and pink-bubble way, but the wealth storm, technological shock and gossip frenzy it triggered have just begun to sweep across the entire continent.
And deep in the palace of Yanmao District, the in-depth communication and love re-education between Prince Yong Nangong Ye and Princess Fuxing Dongfang Yuning has just begun.
Tonight is destined to be a long night...
