70: Military Auction

“Are you free today?”

“What’s wrong? By the way, why didn’t you call?”

At Jiang Yuan’s house, Jiang Yuan looked at Mu Qianshan, who had rushed over, with some curiosity and asked.

“It’s because I couldn’t get through to you.”

Mu Qianshan casually picked up a glass of water, gulped it down, and then complained to Jiang Yuan.

“Uh.”

Jiang Yuan was a bit embarrassed; he had been making Skill Cards just now, so his phone was on silent.

“Alright, let’s get to the point.”

“If you’re free today, come with me to an auction.”

Mu Qianshan didn’t mind, and after drinking his water, he asked Jiang Yuan.

“An auction?”

“Yes.”

Mu Qianshan nodded and then began to explain to Jiang Yuan.

“This auction is one held by the military, mainly auctioning various white, blue, and purple quality cards. These are cards they obtained from a demon clan grotto-heaven in the south of the city.”

Jiang Yuan understood. Last year, when the grotto-heaven in the south of the city opened, the military immediately sent troops into it.

The army, along with various civilian teams, quickly stabilized the grotto-heaven.

However, due to the Sea Demon Clan from the East Sea, they only managed to stabilize the grotto-heaven.

It wasn’t until this year, when the Sea Demon Clan’s offensive slowed, that they finally advanced into the demon clan world on the other side of the grotto-heaven and established a base there.

Presumably, the cards being auctioned this time must be the spoils from this invasion of the demon clan world.

“But with the money I have, what can I buy?”

After listening to what Mu Qianshan said, Jiang Yuan spread his hands helplessly.

Don’t look at how he recently made some money selling Linglong Pagoda.

However, this amount of money is not worth mentioning at an auction.

To put it bluntly, it might not even meet the entry qualifications.

“That’s why I’m telling you to come with me. Isn’t what’s mine yours?”

Mu Qianshan rolled his eyes at Jiang Yuan, and without waiting for Jiang Yuan to say anything, he turned and left.

“Alright, no more talk, let’s go together.”

“The auction starts in half an hour, don’t dilly-dally.”

“Alright.”

Jiang Yuan smiled at the situation, picked up his things, and followed Mu Qianshan out.

The auction location was quite far from where Jiang Yuan lived, but Mu Qianshan had already prepared transportation.

An ordinary, limited-edition supercar.

“By the way, when will Nezha visit my house again? My younger brother asks me every day when Nezha can go and be his teacher.”

After getting into the car, Mu Qianshan asked Jiang Yuan.

After Nezha showed off his skills in front of Mu Qianle that day, Mu Qianle’s idol changed from Mu Qianshan to Nezha.

There was nothing he could do; who knew Nezha’s gunmanship was both handsome and powerful?

After that day’s mission ended, Mu Qianle immediately stated that both of them could do it.

But unfortunately, only Bu Qiuyuan went the next day.

Nezha felt it was meaningless, so he didn’t want to be their combat skills teacher.

Now, Mu Qianle pestered Mu Qianshan, tirelessly asking every day when Nezha could go and teach him.

After all, Nezha was Mu Qianshan’s friend.

“Ha, Nezha might not be interested in that for now.”

Jiang Yuan smiled; Nezha was not the patient type of guy.

Especially when it comes to teaching others.

“Alright, what a pity.” Mu Qianshan pouted and didn’t say much more.

Such things cannot be forced.

The two quickly arrived at the auction venue.

The identity of the Mu Family’s eldest young master was still very useful, and the two went straight into a private box.

“See if there’s anything you’re interested in.”

As soon as they entered the private box, Mu Qianshan handed Jiang Yuan a tablet from the table.

Jiang Yuan picked it up and looked; it contained information on various auction items.

There were a total of one hundred items: twenty white quality items, seventy blue quality items, and the remaining ten were purple quality items.

After browsing for a while, Jiang Yuan had a general idea in his mind.

“What does ‘auction rules for purple quality items are tentative’ mean?”

“I’m not too sure.”

Mu Qianshan shook his head: “It’s said that the military seems to have encountered some problems this time, otherwise they wouldn’t organize this auction. Perhaps the auction rules for these purple quality cards are related to that.”

Although Mu Qianshan wasn’t clear on the specifics, he had heard his elders in the family mention it a couple of times during casual chats.

They said this auction was to solve a long-standing problem that had troubled the military.

However, Mu Qianshan really couldn’t imagine what kind of problem would make the military auction off these spoils of war.

“Then let’s wait for them to explain it clearly, no rush.”

“Alright, but are there any items you fancy?”

“There are three.”

Jiang Yuan didn’t hesitate and directly pointed them out to Mu Qianshan.

“A bit difficult.”

Mu Qianshan stroked his chin; the two blue quality cards were fine, but that purple quality card was indeed quite difficult.

“Just do your best.”

Jiang Yuan smiled, not too concerned.

He knew Mu Qianshan was referring to that purple quality card.

But the problem was, that purple quality card was not something he could use right now.

Whether it was for use or for making cards, it was the same.

Moreover, Jiang Yuan was interested in it because it was a material card for a card he wanted to create later.

If he couldn’t get it this time, he could always look for it later.

However, besides this purple quality card, he was also quite interested in another purple quality card.

But the main problem was that his current strength simply couldn’t utilize a purple quality card.

His Star Epoch Middle Stage stamina couldn’t support him in materializing a purple quality card.

After walking over and sitting on the sofa, the auction quickly began.

It was hosted by military personnel. They came up without any frills or unnecessary talk and immediately started with the first item.

“White quality Skill Card, Spirit Fox Demon’s innate Skill Card, Mental Shock. Starting bid: two lower-grade star spirit stones.”

After the young host on stage introduced the item, bids began to ring out from below.

Although Mental Shock was a rare attack card targeting mental power, it was, after all, only a white quality card.

Ultimately, bidding for this card stopped after it reached nine lower-grade star spirit stones, with no one continuing to bid.

Finally, this card was auctioned off for nine star spirit stones.

“That cheap?”

Jiang Yuan was astonished after seeing this price.

This seemed to be a normal price, right?

He had thought he needed to bring a lot of money.

He was indeed misled by the fantasy novels of his previous life!

In that case, he wasn’t entirely without financial resources.

“After all, it’s only an auction for the first four major realms, so there naturally won’t be any high-end cards.”

After Mu Qianshan explained, he quickly pressed the bidding button.

The second item being auctioned was also a Skill Card, and one that suited him quite well.

White quality Skill Card, Golden Light Sword Qi!
