After a long while...
Under the fierce competition of various buyers, this auction...
...was finally about to draw to a close.
As the final item was brought onto the stage...
Golden Crown, who had been silent for a long time, had a sharp glint flash through his eyes.
It's here!
It's finally here!
The revolver handgun!
He had personally come to the Heaven Dou Auction this time specifically for this item.
Two days ago...
Xue Qinghe had made a special trip to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to demonstrate this seemingly ordinary weapon.
The final result...
...had truly given him a great shock.
A Soul Master of over rank thirty, while fully defending with their Martial Soul released...
...standing ten meters away...
...was actually wounded by a single shot.
This weapon was simply too suitable for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
He envisioned...
...that if every disciple with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul was equipped with such a weapon...
...when facing enemies in the future...
...they would also have the power to protect themselves.
Today, he had specifically prepared one hundred million gold coins.
His purpose was to buy a portion of the revolver handguns.
Prince Xue Xing, who was nearby, felt the same way.
Although the matter of purchasing weapons had been assigned to the Crown Prince by his elder brother, Xue Ye...
...it didn't stop him from buying a few for himself.
The host slowly spoke, "Now, we shall proceed with today's final auction item!"
"This item is called the revolver handgun!"
"It is an extremely powerful weapon. Despite its small size, it is forged from fine iron!"
"According to our test results, this weapon can be loaded with six bullets at once. It can fire single shots or in rapid succession. If a Soul Master below rank thirty is hit, they will be either wounded or killed!"
"Its effective range reaches a staggering fifty meters!"
"For such a divine weapon, our auction only has one thousand units!"
"Excluding bullets, the starting price for a single unit is one hundred thousand gold coins!"
"Each bid must not be less than ten thousand gold coins!"
"Additionally, since there are many items this time, everyone can state the quantity when bidding."
"I wonder which distinguished guest is willing to throw down tens of millions for it?"
Inside the VVVIP private booth...
Golden Crown was completely stunned after hearing the host's starting price.
Good heavens!
The night before last, he heard Qian Renxue say...
...that she had raised the price of the revolver handguns to fifty thousand gold coins each.
When Xue Ye even said it was cheap...
...Golden Crown instantly felt like he was a conservative.
Simply because...
...his envisioned price of two thousand gold coins per revolver handgun was too conservative.
He didn't expect there to be an even greater expert today.
Starting the bid at one hundred thousand gold coins.
Fine, fine, fine. So I, Golden Crown, have become the old-fashioned one, right?
Qian Renxue was also a bit surprised: "I didn't expect the Heaven Dou Auction to actually double the price."
"But with things like this, will the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School bid easily?"
Golden Crown thought for a moment and said: "Since this Heaven Dou Auction could grow larger and larger, their skill in tailoring their approach to the guest must be consummate."
"They must have already thoroughly investigated the personalities and assets of these people attending the auction."
"That's why they dare to set such a price."
"Alright, Little Xue, next is your performance."
Qian Renxue nodded. After disguising herself as Xue Qinghe, she put on a mask and walked out of the booth... As the host's voice fell...
Prince Xue Xing was the first to raise his paddle: "I bid one hundred and ten thousand gold coins to buy five units!"
"This gentleman bids one hundred and ten thousand gold coins for five units!"
"Are there any higher bids?"
"Everyone, this is a rare divine weapon."
Although the host's introduction was very detailed...
...after all, it was the first time others had seen a revolver handgun, so who knew if the auction house was exaggerating?
In case it wasn't that powerful...
...wouldn't they suffer a huge loss?
Thinking of this...
...they planned to wait and see.
Since no one else bid, these five revolver handguns were obtained by Prince Xue Xing.
At this moment...
...Xue Qinghe spoke up.
"One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins to buy three hundred revolver handguns!"
Hearing these words...
...everyone present turned their heads.
They were all shocked by this bidding amount and the quantity.
One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins per unit...
...three hundred units would be forty-five million gold coins!
Heavens!
Just what is this person's identity!
To actually be so wealthy and overbearing!
Prince Xue Xing looked at the surprised expressions of the people around him.
He felt very proud in his heart.
How could the financial power of their Heaven Dou Imperial Family be compared to by a bunch of hillbillies like you?
The host was also dazed by this price.
He hurriedly sent someone to investigate the identity of this bidder.
To see what their background was and if they had the financial strength to pay such a massive amount.
At the same time, he was praying.
Let this person not be a shill they planted in the crowd.
Otherwise, the Heaven Dou Auction would lose a fortune.
Soon, they cleared up Xue Qinghe's identity.
When they learned that this person was the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire...
...the heavy stone in their hearts finally hit the ground.
So it was a bid from the Empire.
No wonder they were so wealthy. Had they known, they would have set the starting price even higher.
This price was such that, among those present, besides the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School being able to contend a bit...
...no one else had the strength.
But Ning Fengzhi had already seen that the person bidding was his student, Xue Qinghe.
He did not compete with him.
After all, the matter of the guns was told to him by this student.
He would just give Xue Qinghe some face.
He wouldn't fight for this round.
Soon, it was time for the next round of bidding.
This time, Ning Fengzhi spoke first: "One hundred and sixty thousand gold coins for four hundred units!"
The crowd was ignited once again.
Well, they thought one wealthy person was enough.
They didn't expect there to be another one.
What made them even more curious was that two major powers were consecutively buying such large quantities of weapons.
In comparison, this revolver handgun must be something good.
Thus, everyone began to join the bidding one after another.
But at this moment, the Heaven Dou Auction House separately called a halt to the auction.
At the same time...
...the general manager of the Heaven Dou Auction House...
...came to the booth where Golden Crown was located.
"Hello, Mr. Xing. I am the general manager of the Heaven Dou Auction House."
"I have come uninvited because I wish to discuss something with you."
Golden Crown looked at him and asked: "What is it? Speak."
The manager had a face full of smiles: "It's like this, Mr. Xing. Our auction house has seen the great power of your weapons."
"After discussion by the high-level management, we have decided that the auction house wants to buy all the remaining two hundred and ninety-five revolver handguns that haven't been auctioned yet. Of course, regarding the price, we will naturally compensate Mr. Xing."
"For the remaining two hundred and ninety-five revolver handguns, our auction house will purchase them at a unit price of two hundred thousand gold coins each."
"I wonder what Mr. Xing thinks of this?"
Golden Crown lowered his head in thought.
His trip was originally intended only to earn money from the Tiandou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
He didn't expect...
...that the Heaven Dou Auction House would actually deliver itself to his door.
There's no reason to refuse a meal that's been delivered to one's mouth.
However, Golden Crown still gave a tactful refusal.
"This isn't very good, is it? If I sell all the remaining revolver handguns to you, what will the other buyers who want to bid think?"
The manager smiled calmly.
"Rest assured about that. Our venue has its own ways."
"Fine then. Selling to anyone is still selling."
"I'll sell the remaining revolver handguns to your Heaven Dou Auction House."
Immediately, the manager of the Heaven Dou Auction House signed the contract on the spot and paid the full amount at once...
...then quickly left.
...as if fearing that Golden Crown would go back on his word..."}],
