99: Qin Yu: What the hell? Electromagnetic principles?

"41 million going once!"

"41 million going twice!"

"Is no one raising the price anymore? Once this old man brings down the hammer, this Mid-range Teleportation Scroll will belong to someone else."

"Alright, 41 million going three times!"

"Congratulations to the distinguished guest in Sky-Tier Box Number Two for successfully acquiring this Mid-range Scroll personally engraved by the Vice Dean of Star Ring Academy!"

The bidding for the Mid-range Teleportation Scroll lasted for more than ten minutes.

And the final transaction price reached 41 million.

It was purchased by someone in the Sky-Tier Box Area on the third floor.

Even though the price had been driven up to the sky-high figure of 41 million, no one present believed that the Teleportation Scroll was overpriced.

Many people who were speaking without consequence even felt that this price was still a bit low.

"Sigh, I only regret not having money. Otherwise, for only 41 million, I would definitely continue bidding even if I had to sell everything I own!"

"That's a brand new Mid-range Teleportation Scroll! And it was personally crafted by the Vice Dean of Star Ring Academy, so the after-sales service is guaranteed..."

"Sigh!!!"

"Indeed, 41 million. This price is even lower than I anticipated!"

"..."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue had been completely ignited, Lin Youlian on the stage did not delay.

He immediately instructed the staff next to him to display the second auction item.

"Alright, next, 'we welcome' the second item of this auction, a fire-attribute combat saber of Excellent quality: the Scarlet Flame Blade."

"The starting price is 100,000 Dragon Country Currency, and each bid increment must not be less than 50,000."

"..."

And sure enough, just as Lin Youlian had said earlier... the first item, the Mid-range Teleportation Scroll, was intentionally placed early by Fushi Pavilion to warm up the crowd, using an item that was usually reserved for the finale.

The second item and the subsequent items were much more ordinary.

Ranging from equipment to props, materials, and Spiritual Medicines.

They were basically all items of only Excellent quality.

The highest transaction price for a single item was less than two million.

However, thanks to the warm-up provided by the previous Teleportation Scroll.

Even though the quality of the subsequent items was relatively ordinary, the overall atmosphere of the auction was still excellent.

Of course, a warm-up is only effective for so long.

After more than ten ordinary Excellent-quality items were auctioned consecutively.

The passion of the crowd gradually subsided.

However, Lin Youlian had clearly anticipated this and was well prepared!

On the stage, after another Excellent-quality Spiritual Medicine was sold, Lin Youlian saw that the crowd's excitement was about to be completely exhausted.

Only then did he straighten his sleeve slightly.

He put on his signature mysterious smile again and spoke, "Esteemed guests, the next item is somewhat special. As I mentioned before, just minutes before this auction began."

"A distinguished guest temporarily entrusted this Pavilion with the auction of three items."

"The next item is one of them!!"

"However..."

Before Lin Youlian could finish speaking... the crowd in the auction hall, which had been somewhat quiet,

immediately began to buzz with excited discussion, driven by curiosity. The warm-up effect was instantaneous and excellent.

"Good heavens, is the main event finally starting again?"

"The temporarily consigned items are at least Epic-grade. I wonder what it is..."

"But if it's just being auctioned in the middle, it shouldn't be that heavyweight auction item Master Lin mentioned earlier, right?"

"I think so too. I just don't know what it is..."

"..."

Lin Youlian naturally wouldn't get angry about being interrupted.

He simply waited quietly for the audience to settle down before continuing:

"However, this item might be different from what everyone expects. The grade and quality of this item have not reached the Epic-grade."

"In fact, it hasn't even reached Inferior quality."

"It is merely a sealed manuscript that has not yet been opened."

"Furthermore, judging by the handwriting on the cover, it shouldn't have much to do with Class Changers; it's just a manuscript about Modern Technology."

"Of course, no one can say for sure what exactly is inside."

"It might possibly contain a High-level Skill Book for a certain profession, you never know."

As soon as Lin Youlian finished speaking, an uproar immediately broke out in the auction hall.

The crowd, who had been full of anticipation, felt greatly disappointed upon hearing that this item was only a manuscript—and likely one unrelated to Class Changers.

They immediately felt extremely let down!

"What the hell? An unopened manuscript, and the cover even states it's a manuscript about Modern Technology? This counts as an auction item?"

"Exactly. To put it bluntly, for us Class Changers, wouldn't this be too rough even to use as toilet paper?" someone couldn't help but mutter in complaint.

"...Open up a High-level Skill Book? Does he think High-level Skill Books grow on trees, that they can just be found in any random manuscript?"

"Even the box-opening shops in Kyoto wouldn't dare say something like that."

Some people also started questioning the rules Fushi Pavilion had previously established.

"What's wrong with Fushi Pavilion? They're auctioning off even ordinary things like this? Didn't they say that temporarily consigned items must be at least Epic-grade?"

"What is this supposed to be?"

Listening to the discussions below the stage, although Lin Youlian also felt that a manuscript without even a quality grade was indeed inappropriate for their Fushi Pavilion auction.

But recalling the words Dong Fanghui had spoken to him before he went on stage.

Lin Youlian still maintained a beaming smile on his face.

After waiting for a moment, he explained:

"I believe everyone is quite curious as to why this manuscript, which has no quality grade, is being put up for auction."

"And why I would say... that this manuscript might contain a Skill Book."

"In order to maintain the mystery of today's finale item."

"I cannot reveal much more, but this old man can only say that the three temporarily consigned items today were all provided by the same person."

"Moreover, aside from this item, the other two are genuine Epic-grade quality items!"

"One of them has even replaced the Mid-range Teleportation Scroll and become the finale item of this auction."

"I trust I don't need to elaborate on the significance of this..."

Lin Youlian's words, still adhering to his style as an Auction Master, were full of mystery.

However, the effect was quite remarkable!

Upon hearing that one of the three temporarily consigned items was even more valuable than the Mid-range Teleportation Scroll, and was likely a Skill Book or similar item.

Many people became thoughtful at that moment.

Consequently, they also showed some interest in the manuscript that had been placed on the Exhibition Stand.

Qin Yu, who had been paying attention the entire time, was naturally the same... and driven by curiosity.

Qin Yu even activated his Mechanical Eye to scan the manuscript on the Exhibition Stand.

He wouldn't have known if he hadn't looked, but seeing it gave him a fright.

After glancing at the scan results in his mind.

Qin Yu froze completely for a moment.

"What the hell?"
