Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 273 Top-Tier Auction

"No wonder they say Starlight Auction House is the largest and most prestigious auction house in the entire Star Luo Empire."

Wang Yan smacked his lips and sighed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded and placed the stack of invitations he had received on the table.

Qingya's actions and etiquette upon entering, and her swift explanation of her purpose upon realizing that the Shrek Academy members were in a meeting.

After wishing Shrek continued success in their upcoming matches, she quietly left, making it impossible for even someone who was initially angry to feel any ill will towards Qingya.

Ning Tian took the invitation, looked at it, and said, "It is indeed a top-tier auction. The auctioneer is right; auctions of this caliber only happen once or twice a year."

"The Starlight Auction House's top-tier venues are generally only open to black card members like Chen Ping, who spend over 500,000 in a single auction or have an annual total spending of one million, or to members of royal families or top-tier soul master forces whose social status is so high that the Starlight Auction House would actively grant them qualifications."

"The items sold at such top-tier venues are usually quite expensive, but they are indeed rare treasures that are hard to find elsewhere. The reason they sent us this invitation is probably because of the academy."

"Teacher Wang, what do you think of the invitation letter sent to us by Starlight Auction House?"

At this point, hope shone in the eyes of Ning Tian, ​​or rather, all the students.

They are indeed the most outstanding Soul Masters among their peers, but they are still just a group of children. Their curiosity about new things is the same.

After a tense and stressful competition, it's time for them to relax a little.

"Alright. Everyone's been participating in the competition for so long, it's time to give you a break."

"However, even though Elder Xuan has returned today, everyone should observe more and speak less to avoid any trouble."

"You don't get to attend these top-tier auctions all the time, so it's good to get a feel for it and broaden your horizons."

"Tomorrow's match is crucial. It cannot be affected by anything. Go back to the hotel to rest immediately after the auction."

Has Elder Xuan returned?
Chen Ping was a little puzzled; he really didn't know the answer to this.

After all, once Elder Xuan returned, he became like the lurkers in the group, never posting anything.

If Wang Yan hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have known that Elder Xuan had already returned.

The rest of the reserve team didn't pay much attention to this, and were all excited about the prospect of going to the auction.

Jiang Nannan, in particular, had a flushed face.

Her paralyzing ray played a crucial role in the last battle against Zhengtian Academy.

It's a pity that the gap between He Caitou and Yu Mengdi, that Soul King, was too great; otherwise, she would have had a chance to completely turn the tide of the battle by instantly killing Blood Wolf with the paralysis ray.

Hearing that there would be another opportunity to participate in the auction, not only to broaden one's horizons but also, if lucky, to get one or two soul tools purchased with the academy's funding, Jiang Nannan was quite excited.

She greatly admired Chen Ping's ability to make money, but Chen Ping's methods were too unorthodox—selling miracle pills and profiting from the dead—too difficult for Jiang Nannan to emulate, which she found quite regrettable.
Wang Yan laughed and scolded, "You little rascals! Get your minds back on track. I need to plan the tactics for tomorrow's match."

The tactical arrangements for the match didn't take too long, and then everyone went back to their rooms to practice.

After dinner, everyone changed into ordinary clothes. Holding invitations to the Starlight Auction House, the group, led by Wang Yan, arrived at the Starlight Auction House once again.

To their surprise, the elegant auctioneer was waiting at the door. She was wearing a long black dress and looked even more noble and elegant under the night lights, but her pretty face was full of tenderness.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the Shrek group, led by Qingya, walked into a hidden doorway inside. Unlike the opulent exterior, the interior of this hidden doorway was pure white, crafted entirely from a soft, high-quality jade, exuding elegance and grandeur.

According to Qingya, because Chen Ping won the bid for the dragon girl, Qingya has now become one of the few black-level auctioneers in the Starlight Auction House.

With a wave of her hand, Qingya opened the door to room number seven.

The group filed in and were immediately struck by the room's decor.

Hmm, it still tastes the same, with the same decorating style as the Shrek Academy's Treasure Pavilion.

In a 200-square-meter room, whatever is expensive is placed inside: jade, wood, and jewelry.
The large sofa was made from the hide of some unknown spirit beast, with exceptionally soft white fur.

The sofa is large enough to accommodate at least twenty people, and a variety of drinks, wine and food are placed on the jade table.

That’s right!
Everyone, including Chen Ping, nodded in satisfaction.

The understated yet elegant, albeit tastefully decorated, passageway that Qingya had led them through made them think that the Starlight Auction House had deviated from the average aesthetic standards of mainland chambers of commerce.

Now that everyone sees the luxurious interior of the private room, which is exactly the same as Shrek's Treasure Pavilion, they are all relieved.

If we're going to embarrass ourselves, then we should all embarrass ourselves together and look like nouveau riche. It's not good for your Starlight Auction to secretly change its style!

Everyone settled into the comfortable sofas. The elegant auctioneer and two young women in long gold dresses remained.

Qingya stood to the side of the sofa and smiled, "Let me explain the rules of our top-level auction to our distinguished guests."

As she spoke, she gestured to the two girls in golden dresses.

One of the girls walked up to the smooth wall and gently pressed it. Instantly, a soft halo of light shone across the entire wall.

The light gradually intensified. The wall slowly transformed into a giant screen.

The light guide screen gradually became clearer. Patterns appeared on both sides, while an auction stage-like area appeared in the center.

The auction stage didn't look very big, but it was clearly visible on the light guide screen.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ping raised an eyelid slightly.

real time monitoring
Moreover, if he remembered correctly, this thing, like the soul power fluctuation detector in the Star Emperor Hotel, was a product of the Sun Moon Empire.

The core array of this soul-guided light curtain is not activated by soul power, but comes from a type of ore from the Sun Moon Empire.

This enormous gap in the field of soul guidance technology made Chen Ping feel a chill run down his spine.

After all, Shrek Academy's most advanced communication method right now is nothing more than using a soul-guided communication device to modulate and demodulate audio signals for long-distance transmission.

The Sun and Moon Empire has already overcome the problem of audio signal transmission and is now making a sprint toward ultra-long-range video signal transmission.

If Chen Ping remembered correctly, at this point in time, the Sun Moon Empire's ultra-high-altitude detection soul guide technology seemed to be quite mature. That thing was even solar-powered and could transmit radio frequency soul power signals to the ground.

It was precisely because of this heaven-defying soul tool, which seemed to open up the entire map of war fog, that Orange earned the title of God of War.
