Chapter 258: A Captain's Addiction

"Mr. Lin, you are here."

In one of the most distinguished reception rooms inside the auction house, Lu Zhenxing opened the door and walked in from outside.

Lin You stood with his back to the man and turned around slowly.

"Is it not disturbing you to come here at this time?"

"No, how can Master Lin's visit be considered a disturbance?"

Lu Zhenxing smiled.

Then he pointed to the seat next to him.

"Please sit down. Please don't mind the small place, Mr. Lin."

As they spoke, the two of them came to their seats and sat down facing each other.

After the servants served the tea, Lu Zhenxing got straight to the point and said:

"Since Master Lin is here, I'd like to tell you about the auction of the tier 10 equipment."

"How much did you sell in total?" Lin You asked.

"One hundred and sixty million."

"One hundred and sixty million? That much?"

Lin You was shocked. This price was more than half more than the 100 million that Lu Zhenxing had estimated before.

Even if it is converted into the recruitment cost of each type of troops, more than sixty tenth-level troops can be recruited.

Aren't these 10th-rank masters too damn rich? "I didn't expect it to sell for such a high price. Maybe it's because it has a strong ability to save lives, so during the auction, many 10th-rank masters and representatives of forces rushed to bid, so the price was naturally raised a lot."

Lu Zhenxing said with lingering fear.

Even now, the thrilling scene of a group of tenth-level warriors bidding at the auction house was still echoing in his mind.

He dared to guarantee that this was definitely the largest auction he had ever presided over in his life.

"So who bought this equipment in the end?" Lin You asked.

"It was bought by a duchy king. As for the other party's identity, I'm sorry that I can't reveal it."

"It's okay. I understand."

Lin You nodded silently.

Every industry has its own rules, and the same is true for auction houses, which generally do not disclose customer information easily.

It was within his expectations that the equipment was bought by the King of the Principality.

After all, the financial resources of a king are not comparable to those of an ordinary tenth-level cultivator.

Then, Lu Zhenxing continued, "According to our previous agreement, after deducting 10 million in costs from 160 million, there is still 150 million left. Mr. Lin will take 80%, which is 120 million. I will also need to give you another 70 million. Should this be okay?"

"Yeah, no problem."

Lin You took a deep breath, and his whole heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

With this money, he can build a flying trade center in his territory to attract many people to Huangsha City.

By then, even if we can't say it can become a city with a population of one million, it should not be a problem to increase the population of Huangsha City to hundreds of thousands.

In this way, wouldn't his power of faith increase rapidly?

Thinking of this, Lin You immediately said, "Before that, can I ask Shopkeeper Lu to do me a favor first?"

"Mr. Lin, you are too polite. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I, Lu, will do my best to handle it." Lu Zhenxing said solemnly.

This was a chance to build a good relationship with Lin You, so how could he miss it so easily? "By the way, what does Master Lin want me to do for you?"

He asked curiously.

"It's not a big deal. I just need 500,000 units of magic powder recently. I wonder if Shopkeeper Lu can help me buy it?"

"500,000 magic powders?"

Lu Zhenxing frowned slightly.

"This is not a small amount. Even in our Shifang Pavilion, we only have about 100,000 in stock at most. What does Master Lin need so much for?"

"It's just used to make something." Lin You smiled slightly.

"Really?" Lu Zhenxing looked at him deeply, and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he lowered his head and pondered: "It is not a problem to help with the purchase, but the quantity is too large, which may have an impact on the market. The price will be several times higher, and it will take some time."

"Of course, the inventory in our Shifang Pavilion will be given to Master Lin first at the lowest price. What do you think?"

"Okay." Lin You nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble Shopkeeper Lu to take care of it."

"Mr. Lin, your business is our Lu family's business. If you need help in the future, just come to me."

Lu Zhenxing laughed heartily.

Then.

The two continued to discuss the transaction.

It was not until an hour later that Lin You finally left through the secret back door of the auction house with the 40 million magic powers and 100,000 units of magic powder he had just obtained.

As for the missing 30 million, it will be used as the cost of purchasing magic powder and SSS-level secret treasures.

Now that I have money, the first thing I should do is to use it to improve my own strength.

According to Lu Zhenxing.

Even the most worthless SSS-level secret treasure can be sold for more than 10 million.

The top-notch results can reach as much as 50 million.

So we gave him a compromise of 25 million.

If you add the price of the magic powder, it would be almost 30 million.

Lin You calculated and found it reasonable, so he left the money to Lu Zhenxing and asked him to keep an eye out for it and notify him immediately if he came across a suitable secret treasure.

that's all.

Lin You hurried to the Floating Islands with materials and huge sums of money.

Soon he was teleported back to the territory through the teleportation function on the floating islands and began to build the magic airship.

And at this time.

Xue Changgui had also received the news conveyed by Wei Gang a long time ago. He brought a large group of people to the flying dock outside the forest and was working on the land planning.

Even nearby, many residents came to watch the fun.

“Swish!”

Suddenly, a dazzling light suddenly lit up in the empty flying dock.

The light was so bright that it instantly illuminated the entire edge of the forest, shocking the surrounding residents so much that they all looked over.

"What's going on?"

Xue Changgui, who was calculating the land area in the distance, raised his head and looked towards the inside of the flying dock in confusion.

Under the white light, a huge propeller-shaped object appeared out of thin air.

Then pieces of metal plates and wood kept flying, forming a keel that curved upward on the open space of the flying dock, and spread outward from this center.

Finally, it was combined into a giant steel ship with wings on both sides and thrusters and propellers at the rear.

Then, the light gradually gathered and condensed into an elliptical airbag above the hull, which was tightly connected to the hull by steel cables, forming a majestic large airship.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It was just quietly docked on one of the docks!

Xue Changgui and others opened their mouths wide, looking at the airship that suddenly appeared in disbelief.

Is this the important thing that the Lord was talking about?

But this is too exaggerated!

The Lord actually created such a shocking and unprecedented thing! Not to mention them, even the passers-by who were watching were all staring with their eyes wide open, and there was a big uproar.

Immediately following.

Then Lin You appeared riding on the Demon King Dragon and landed on the flying dock in a gust of howling wind.

"My Lord!"

Xue Changgui hurried over with a group of his men.

"Go, call a few people with stronger abilities to come with me to test-fly this magic airship."

Lin You turned over and came to the ground, looking at the finished airship with burning eyes.

The scale was much larger and more solid than he had imagined.

The outside of the hull is made of a mixture of metals extracted from iron ore and copper ore, and it appears to have good impact resistance.

"My lord, is this, is this really an airship?" Xue Changgui asked in shock.

"Well, our caravans will rely on this for transportation in the future. It will also connect various cities and principalities. I want to build this place into a large flying trade center!" Lin You said proudly.

But I don’t know.

When his words fell into the ears of Xue Changgui and others, it was like a thunderclap, which directly shocked them all to the spot.

Connect major cities and principalities!

Build a trade center! Can Huangsha City really do this?

Xue Changgui didn't dare to imagine it, but when he saw the huge airship in front of him, he couldn't help but get excited.

He knew that the opportunity for Huangsha City to truly rise had come!

He dared not hesitate and immediately ran outside to gather people, calling all the seventh-level practitioners he brought with him.

These practitioners have all just joined Huangsha City recently.

When they were summoned by Lin You for the first time, they all became very nervous. Standing behind Xue Changgui, their bodies were tense to the extreme.

"Well, not bad." Lin You looked at them and nodded with satisfaction, "Come with me."

As he said that, he walked towards the airship.

Naturally, the few practitioners did not dare to delay and immediately followed Xue Changgui.

"My Lord, can you take me with you?"

At this time, Xu Zhong, the manager next to him, couldn't help but speak.

Lin You looked back at him and said, "Alright, bring a few more people up so they can get familiar with the functions in advance."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Xu Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately followed the team with a few deputies.

Then, under the envious gaze of everyone, he boarded the cabin deck of the airship.

Lin You observed it carefully and found that the ship was so wide that it could easily carry 200 people.

There is also a huge storage space under the deck, which can be used to transport various supplies and goods, which is very convenient.

Lin You came into the cockpit and followed the instructions on the interface. He quickly became familiar with the driving mode of the airship and tried to start it.

Then, the magic airship made a rumbling sound, and the airbag on top began to inflate rapidly.

"Stand still, it's time to set sail."

Lin You shouted outside, feeling a little excited.

I didn't expect that I would get to experience the life of a captain under such circumstances. It feels pretty good.

Then, not long after, the airbag was inflated and slowly rose into the air.

The ship underneath was also driven by it, gradually leaving the ground and rising into the air.

Xue Changgui and others on the deck were so excited that their faces flushed, and they kept looking out through the side of the boat.

Look at the ground that is gradually moving farther away, and the yellow sand city that is gradually coming into view in the distance, and the human figure inside that is getting smaller and smaller.

This was definitely an experience they had never had in their lives.

"Set off!"

Just like that, accompanied by Lin You's loud shout, the airship suddenly accelerated and flew towards the Gobi Desert.

The huge figure whizzing past immediately caused all the people inside and outside Huangsha City to look up at the sky and exclaim in surprise.

Under Lin You's control, the magic airship flew directly over the forest and into the depths of the Gobi Desert.
