Chapter 924: Black Jade

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The second demiG.o.d relic was a battle sword.

The reason why Lin Huang was auctioning the battle sword off was that it was just a low-level demiG.o.d relic.

He had a total of 13 demiG.o.d battle sword relics with him, five of which were mid-level demiG.o.d battle sword relics and one was a high-level demiG.o.d battle sword relic.

The higher level the demiG.o.d relic, the more Life Power it would drain during usage. However, that was none of Lin Huang’s concern. The Life Power in his body was endless due to his Divine Fire.

To him, he could use the high-level demiG.o.d battle sword relic directly after he elevated to imperial-level. At the most, he would put one or two mid-level demiG.o.d battle sword relics away as backups and sell the rest.

Yun Mei’er unveiled the red cloth on the stage.

A cool black battle sword was presented before the people. It was as clear as a piece of black jade.

Everyone exclaimed the moment they saw the battle sword. They had an even bigger reaction than the time they saw the mid-level demiG.o.d sword relic earlier.

“It’s so beautiful! This sword’s like a piece of art!”

“I think it’ll look great in the living room as decoration.”

“The material doesn’t seem like metal. Wouldn’t it break if it’s used in battles?”

Even Yi Yeyu in VIP Room S7 on the third floor could not help but exclaim, “I’m not a sword cultivator, but I’m so eager to buy this sword when I look at it. Just like the saying ‘appearances are everything’, this saying applies to anything.”

“I’m sure this sword will cause a wild fight between sword cultivators.” Yi Zheng nodded too. He peeped at Lin Huang but noticed there was no change of emotion on his face. He could not tell what Lin Huang was feeling.

In reality, Lin Huang liked the sword very much but eventually decided to sell it off after some struggling.

He was not like Liu Ming; he never had the habit of collecting swords.

To him, the practicality of a weapon should be prioritized while everything else did not matter. No matter how amazing it looked, there was no need to keep if it was less practical than those mid-level and high-level demiG.o.d relics.

On stage, Yun Mei’er did not speak immediately. Instead, she looked across the crowd and only spoke slowly after everyone had their eyes glued to the battle sword. “The name of this battle sword is Black Jade.”

“I’m sure many have guessed that the material of this sword isn’t metal. It’s mainly made of the spine of a demiG.o.d-level dragonkin and embellished with crystal tuff essence.”

“Everyone might think that this sword’s beautiful, but in reality, it’s even more beautiful when the light penetrates through it at night.” Yun Mei’er clapped her hands twice after saying that.

The auction turned completely dark all of a sudden. Almost at the same time, a white ray infiltrated the transparent case with the battle sword from behind.

The people saw the dazzling golden s.h.i.+mmer being reflected from the body of the sword like sand when the white ray penetrated the battle sword. It was like a sky full of twinkling stars.

Everyone was in an uproar. Many of them launched the camera from their Emperor’s Heart Rings and took a photo of the item.

Lin Huang who was in VIP Room S7 on the third floor was dumbstruck.

‘People actually do that?!’

A moment later, the ray vanished while the lights were turned on again.

Yun Mei’er only continued to speak in satisfaction after seeing the expression on the people’s faces.

“Looking at the historical data, this Black Jade was the early work of an ancient weapon master, Ou Yunming. Sir Ou’s early works were known to be extremely exquisite. Although the Black Jade’s just a low-level demiG.o.d relic, its craftsmans.h.i.+p moved the notorious collection master Luqiu Yu to purchase it at a high price.

“I’m sure everyone’s familiar with the name Luqiu Yu. He’s the No. 1 collector during ancient times recorded in history books, but many might not know that he was also a virtual G.o.d-level powerhouse.

“It was said that Master Luqiu placed the Black Jade in his home as decoration after purchasing it. His nephew, Luqiu Hao, visited and saw it a few years later.

“Luqiu Hao fell in love with the Black Jade as soon as he saw it and told his uncle, ‘This is a weapon. Weapons should see blood while fighting their enemies. That’s its destiny. You’re wasting G.o.d’s gift by putting it in your room like a toy, which would upset it. If you really want to collect it, you should let it fulfill its destiny by winning battles and experiencing ma.s.sacres. It’ll come back to you when it’s done drinking blood.’ Master Luqiu then gave his nephew the Black Jade while Luqiu Hao gave life to it.

“There were at least 20 demiG.o.d-level monsters that were killed with this sword and countless monsters below demiG.o.d-level that died as well. Luqiu Hao died in a war later on. Instead of retrieving the sword, Master Luqiu buried his nephew with the sword as a gift.

“Although the Black Jade’s just a low-level demiG.o.d relic, its value’s much higher than high-level demiG.o.d relics. It’s comparable with a supreme-grade demiG.o.d relic.

“There’s only one of this in the entire world. I hope that everyone can seize the opportunity at this auction. There’s no second chance ever again if you miss it this time.

“The Black Jade will start at 30 billion Life Crystals and each increment must be at least 1.5 billion Life Crystals!” The screens of the VIP rooms on the second and third floors lit up consecutively as soon as Yun Mei’er named the starting bid.

“VIP Room A32 offers 40 billion!”

“VIP Room A1 offers 50 billion!”

“VIP Room S3 offers 60 billion!”

“VIP Room S8 offers 80 billion!”

…

The crowd became excited to see the frenzied bid that was increasing.

“Holy cow! A low-level demiG.o.d relic’s going at a price that’s higher than a mid-level demiG.o.d relic!”

“The Wanbao Auction has never treated this battle sword as a low-level demiG.o.d relic since the beginning. After all, the starting price is already 30 billion Life Crystals!”

“There are so many rich people here! They’re competing for a low-level demiG.o.d relic like madmen!”

…

Lin Huang, who was in VIP Room S7, could not understand that.

It was just a low-level demiG.o.d relic. Theoretically, it should only be sold at 30 billion Life Crystals at the most, but now it was already at 80 million. Meanwhile, there were people who were still bidding for it.

“Is this what people call ‘the rich become stupid when they have too much money’?” Yi Yeyu said while pouting.

“It’s more like the happiness of the rich is beyond your imagination,” Yi Zheng corrected her while grinning.

After some intense bidding, the battle sword, the Black Jade, was sold to the guest from VIP Room S8 at a whopping price of 160 billion Life Crystals.

The price was on par with a high-level demiG.o.d relic.

Yun Mei’er was getting wrinkles around her eyes from grinning so much. She had just broken a second record that day by selling a low-level demiG.o.d relic at double the highest price of a low-level demiG.o.d relic ever to be auctioned in history. Perhaps n.o.body would be able to break that record within centuries. For the next century, anyone who would learn about auction would remember this auctioneer named Yun Mei’er who auctioned off a low-level demiG.o.d relic at 160 billion Life Crystals.

After the Black Jade battle sword was auctioned off, the demiG.o.d relics were sent onto the stage one after another.

There were low-level and mid-level demiG.o.d relics. The next five demiG.o.d relics were sold at 98 billion Life Crystals, 37 billion Life Crystals, 95 billion Life Crystals, 35 billion Life Crystals, and 110 billion Life Crystals respectively.

Including the three mid-level demiG.o.d relics, none of them were sold at a price higher than the Black Jade.

After the seven demiG.o.d relics were sold consecutively, the excitement level at the auction peaked because the two G.o.d relics would be auctioned next.

The next morning, Lin Huang went to the buffet breakfast on the second floor after was.h.i.+ng up. Just when he was getting his food, he noticed that many people were watching him. He did not bother at first, but as he sat down after exploring the buffet spread and getting the food that he wanted, he realized that almost everyone in the restaurant was staring at him. Some of them were even pointing and talking about him.

"What's this about?" Lin Huang looked down at himself. He seemed to be dressed alright today. He then turned on the selfie mode on his Emperor's Heart Ring to see if there was anything on his face. He was getting more and more skeptical.

"Why are all these people looking at me?"

On the double, Lin Huang left the restaurant after finis.h.i.+ng his breakfast. Noticing that the staff at the entrance was looking curiously at him too, he could not help but ask, "Why are you guys looking at me? Is there anything wrong with me?"

"Dear guest, didn't you read the local news?" The female staff asked him back.

"The local news?"

"About you dating Little Princess last night. Everybody knows about it now. It's the biggest news of the year in Sweep City." The female staff smiled.

"People in Sweep City has nothing better to do…" Lin Huang thought to himself when he heard the staff's answer.

After he returned to his room, he found out that the comments of the news last night had blown up.

"Little Princess is mine! The strange man can go f*ck himself!"

"Judging by his look, we know that he's a b.a.s.t.a.r.d who scams little girls!"

"5 credit points to get the strange man's address who dated Little Princess. I want to stab him to death!'

"Upvote to that! Credit point +1. Don't forget to livestream when you stab him to death!"

"I support that! Credit point +2. I'll give you chicken feet if you livestream that."

"Credit point +3! Please get more chicken feet and marinate them… Ahh, I'm drooling!"

"Credit point +4. We've found a man-eater here! I'm reporting this!"

…

They were almost 100,000 comments on that single piece of news. Lin Huang then registered a new account on Weibo and found out that all the locals were talking about the same topic. Tens of thousands of threads had been created in a night and it was increasing. There were new threads coming up almost every second. It was mind-blowing.

Lin Huang was speechless.

"That girl did this to me!"

His plan was to stay low for a while in Division 3 so that he could focus on leveling up. He could always show off when he reached immortal-level. He did not expect himself to become famous in Sweep City on the second day after arriving in Division 3. If the topic became the number one in the browsing section, not only Sweep City, all of the other footholds in Division 3 would see his face. Luckily, his face was a disguise. Even a demiG.o.d could not tell how he really looked like from his picture.

Lin Huang calmed himself down and read the other news as well as the public information about the black market. He received a message from the lady from the black market when it was past 9 a.m. Before he could view the attachments, the lady sent a video call request. Lin Huang frowned and decided to pick up the call.

"Morning, dear customer!"

"Why are you calling?" Lin Huang asked.

"Mainly to tell you about the doc.u.ments that I've just sent you." The lady sounded sweet as usual.

"Of course, but I'm sure there's something else besides that."

"Go on."

"Do you know that many people contacted us to find out about you after the news got out last night?" The lady smiled.

"And then?"

"We did a check on you, but we didn't manage to get anything, so we didn't really make much money from that."

"Are you saying that you want to pay me a portion of what you made?" Lin Huang remained calm. There was nothing much about Lin Xie, so it was only natural that the lady did not manage to get anything.

"You're so good at joking." The lady smiled.

"Stop beating around the bush. Say what you need to say." Lin Huang knew very well that the lady had not just called to chat with him.

"Alright then, I shall get straight to the point!" She became serious.

"Since you asked for information about monsters, I'm sure you're going to kill a number of them. Could you sell us the monster carca.s.ses after that? We'll buy them at market price since we don't have many monster carca.s.s resources."

"Why me?" Lin Huang asked.

"We need the stock urgently. We've already contacted customers who hunt and you're one of them. You've proven that you have stunning killing abilities. That's the kind of collaborating partner that we're looking for."

"I can sell them to anyone I want. What do I get if I sell them to you?" Lin Huang asked practically.

"As long as you agree to do this, you'll be our partner and we'll guarantee not to leak your ident.i.ty," she said slyly, "Especially your ident.i.ty that's being investigated to find out who you really are."

Lin Huang's heart skipped a beat. The lady knew that he was using a fake ident.i.ty.

"Why don't you tell me who I really am?" Lin Huang remained calm on the surface.

"We don't know as we didn't investigate." The lady was honest.

"But I can't guarantee that n.o.body will spend a sum of money to find out about you. Trust me, no matter how you hide, there are ways to discover your real ident.i.ty as long as someone pays. If we become partners, we'll keep this a secret and even come up with fake information when it's needed."

"I'm just an ordinary person. There's nothing to investigate about my ident.i.ty." Lin Huang smiled as he shook his head. "I'm not sure how you even came up with this false a.s.sumption that my ident.i.ty is fake. Without any practical benefits, I won't come all the way here just to sell the monster carca.s.ses to you. I can sell them anywhere else at the same price. That's more convenient for me. I'm hanging up if that's all you have to say."

"Wait!" The lady was surprised by Lin Huang's response, but soon she came up with a new plan. "We'll give you a 20% discount if you're asking for information or purchasing items from us!"

"Can you give a better discount?" Lin Huang raised his eyebrow.

"20% is the highest that I can get for you." The lady shook her head and smiled.

"This is the best that I can do. Please don't make it tough for me."

"Alright then, it's set!" Lin Huang agreed.

Lin Huang was relieved as he hung up the call. He had almost admitted his fake ident.i.ty. Luckily, he was smart enough to deny it.

On the other side, the lady frowned as she looked at Lin Huang's ident.i.ty in her hand.

"So, did he agree?" A man in gla.s.ses asked as he stood at the door.

"Yes, he did. He agreed to the 20% discount that I offered." The lady forced a smile.

"Didn't you say that you could get him to talk since you know that his ident.i.ty is fake?" The man in gla.s.ses was surprised.

"He denied it." The lady shook her head.

"I've investigated his ident.i.ty, but there's nothing wrong with it. My instincts tell me that he's using a fake ident.i.ty, so I tried to trap him, but I failed. Perhaps my instincts were wrong. It's not the first time anyway…"

"Maybe you're too tired. Rest more, alright?" The man in gla.s.ses comforted her.
