96: Megalosaurus specimen

Even though most regions of this world are still in dire straits due to the invasion of demonic species.

But as the provincial capital of Qingzhou Province, Qingcheng City at night was still incomparably prosperous.

Especially with the various colored sub-arrays of the exposed Thousand Star Floating Array, and the crisscrossing energy light rays.

It wasn't just Sky City in the city center.

The entire city was as beautiful as a dream.

Qin Yu, Nie Yuxi, Ning Qianqian, and Dong Tianyu walked along the streets of Sky City, looking at the shops around them that were unheard of in Jiangzhou City.

"Oh my god, Great God Qin Yu, what is that... a demonic species specimen shop?" Ning Qianqian, being a girl, was especially excited:

"Qingcheng City actually has such a shop?"

"Look at the specimen they have displayed at the entrance, it looks like the corpse of a Giant-toothed Bone Dragon! That's too powerful, isn't it? The books say that dragon-type demonic species generally have King-level combat power even in their infancy, right?"

"This Giant-toothed Bone Dragon's size clearly indicates it's already an adult, right?"

"Could it be a super-grade demonic species above level 80?"

It wasn't just her; looking at the bustling scene around him, Qin Yu was also incredibly amazed at this moment.

Following Ning Qianqian's exclamation, Qin Yu subconsciously looked towards the demonic species specimen shop not far away.

At the entrance of the shop, there was indeed a Western dragon-shaped bone dragon, at least twenty meters tall, with its entire body composed of white bones threaded with golden patterns.

And at the head of the bone dragon, there were two giant, glowing white teeth, over a meter long, still embedded.

At first glance, Qin Yu was also startled.

However, Qin Yu, who had already activated the scanning function of his Mechanical Eye upon entering the city—hoping to find a bargain in these shops, much like in the web novels of his previous life—

After glancing at the scan description in his mind, he wasn't fooled.

Under the scan of the Mechanical Eye, the information of this Giant-toothed Bone Dragon specimen was clear at a glance.

Item: Remnant Bone of a Giant-toothed Bone Dragon

Status: Severely Damaged

Level Before Death: LV87

Effect: Although the Giant-toothed Bone Dragon is named for its pair of huge fangs, its essence is a void-attribute demonic species. Using its remnant bones for forging, the finished product has a chance to acquire void-attribute affixes.

Focusing his gaze again, Qin Yu smiled and said, "It's a bit unbelievable, but this Giant-toothed Bone Dragon specimen should be fake."

"A genuine adult Giant-toothed Bone Dragon's entire corpse is an extremely rare void-attribute material. How could such a large one be displayed at the shop entrance?"

"This entire specimen probably only contains a small piece of Giant-toothed Bone Dragon bone..."

"Really? I thought it was real..." Listening to Qin Yu's answer, the shock on Ning Qianqian's face finally subsided a little.

Beside them, seeing that Qin Yu was not at all shocked by the bone dragon specimen, which was known as the biggest bluff in Sky City, but instead casually exposed the "truth".

Dong Tianyu, who had been following Qin Yu and the others as their guide, also smiled at this moment and praised:

"Haha, Junior Brother Qin Yu has good eyesight."

"You don't know, this Giant-toothed Bone Dragon specimen is an old actor for this demonic species specimen shop, and even for the entire Sky City."

"It's placed here specifically to scare outsiders."

"Actually, it's just that the shop owner accidentally obtained a small piece of Giant-toothed Bone Dragon's remnant bone, and then, because it was valuable but had no market and no one bought it..."

"He got angry and made it into such a model, placing it in the shop as a signboard."

Listening to Dong Tianyu's explanation, Qin Yu's expression remained unchanged, though he felt a bit speechless, while Ning Qianqian's small face flushed, feeling that she was one of those outsiders who had been fooled.

After Dong Tianyu finished explaining, he glanced at the time and then continued, "Goodness, it's already half past eight after all this strolling, Junior Brother Qin Yu, we need to hurry up."

"Although the Fushi Pavilion auction starts at nine, we need to enter twenty minutes in advance."

"It's not far from here, so let's stop wandering, shall we?"

"Let's go to the auction and grab a spot first?"

Qin Yu naturally agreed readily, saying, "Alright, you make the arrangements."

A few minutes later, led by Dong Tianyu, Qin Yu and his group arrived beneath an independent ancient building that exuded an air of nobility and ancient charm from top to bottom.

Below the small building, it was already crowded with people.

Fortunately, Dong Tianyu, as a direct descendant of the Dong Family, one of Qingcheng City's four great families, and also a student of Star Ring Academy, which holds significant influence throughout Qingzhou Province.

Arranging for Qin Yu and his group to use the VIP channel was quite simple.

Therefore, Qin Yu and the others were quickly ushered into Fushi Pavilion by several tall, fair-skinned receptionists.

And after Dong Tianyu's negotiation, the Fushi Pavilion manager, upon hearing that Qin Yu and his group were all Freshmen from Star Ring Academy, and that Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi were even the top scholar of the college entrance examination and second place respectively this year... Fushi Pavilion even exceptionally granted Qin Yu and the other three two small private rooms.

Qin Yu and Dong Tianyu shared one, and Nie Yuxi and Ning Qianqian shared another.

Although they were just small private rooms, given Fushi Pavilion's standing in Sky City and even Qingzhou Province... it could be considered quite sincere!

Otherwise, let alone Qin Yu and his group, whose highest level was only 30, even a level 50 King-level powerhouse might not be able to secure a small private room.

The two private rooms were not connected.

Accompanied by the receptionists, after the group arrived at the private room area on the third floor, Qin Yu and Dong Tianyu separated from Ning Qianqian and Nie Yuxi.

Each entered their respective private rooms.

Inside the private room, tea, water, and refreshments were all available.

A large floor-to-ceiling double-sided window allowed for a clear view of the auction proceedings below, even when seated inside the room.

Qin Yu was quite satisfied after casually looking around the room:

"This Fushi Pavilion is truly commendable. I thought that with our strength, being able to snatch a seat downstairs would already be good."

Meanwhile, Dong Tianyu, like an old hand, had already plopped down onto a chair in the private room and was leisurely eating the snacks on the table.

While eating, he replied:

"Hahaha, Brother Yu, don't underestimate yourself. Think about it, even a player like me can occasionally get a small private room to stay in."

"What are your and Nie Yuxi's statuses? This year's top scholar of the college entrance examination and second place!"

"Let alone these small private rooms, if you said something more, maybe we would have already been in the 'Earth-grade' private rooms upstairs."

"If this Fushi Pavilion didn't have that much foresight..."

"Then what's the point of opening?"

...
