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

Chapter 275 Chen Ping is about to start conning people.

Since the Star Luo Empire had brought out this hidden treasure to fish for him, Chen Ping felt that if he didn't take the bait, he would be letting Xu Jiawei down.

However, Xu Jiawei's initial plan was probably to sell the soul bone for a good price and do someone a favor, while Chen Ping, who was short of money, didn't have the funds to buy this treasure.

Therefore, we can only ask Mr. Xu to go all the way and see things through to the end.

Although Wu Feng and Ning Tian were unsure of the origins of the soul bone before them, judging from Chen Ping's sudden burst of excitement and the dazzling display of light on the soul bone, they could guess that it was at least a top-tier soul bone no less valuable than Wang Dong's golden light at the treasure appreciation event.

Wang Dong's Golden Radiance Soul Bone, which is only about 10,000 years old, can still fetch a high price of over 9 million gold soul coins. The price of this soul bone in front of us will probably exceed 10 million.

Ning Tian blinked, then subconsciously touched his storage soul tool. Hmm, there were less than ten million gold soul coins left inside.
But it's okay, she has other ways to make money.

Just as Ning Tian was about to ask Chen Ping if he needed an angel investment to acquire the soul bone, he saw Chen Ping's eyes narrow slightly and his finger rub against his nose a few times.

In an instant, Wu Feng and Ning Tian both realized one thing: Chen Ping was probably up to no good again.

After all, this guy always makes these kinds of little gestures whenever he wants to do something against his will.

For example, whenever Chen Ping says he's tired from playing and won't go sightseeing in the afternoon, he often does this.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng didn't even need to go to the dormitory; they went straight to the library to catch Chen Ping, and they caught him every time. This guy was definitely secretly competing with others.

Sure enough, the next moment, Chen Ping leaned back in his chair and said naturally, "Hey, the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm soul bone looks at least 50,000 years old. You're willing to sell such a treasured item?"

This attracted the attention of the other Shrek members, and also made Qingya turn her head in surprise.

"Your extensive knowledge is truly admirable; I never expected someone could recognize it at a glance. This is indeed a piece of the left arm bone of an ice-jade scorpion, and its age is between fifty thousand and seventy thousand years."

"Within this Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone lies the Solidified Ice Explosion skill, making it one of the highest quality soul bones in our Starlight Auction House."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded: "Then there's no problem, our college will participate in this auction."

"But if I may ask, are there any other Soul Masters with the ultimate ice attribute participating in this auction?"

Qingya was speechless upon hearing this. How could she possibly leak information about the guests in the other private rooms?
But Qingya found Chen Ping's question somewhat amusing. It made it sound as if one couldn't participate in the auction without a Soul Master possessing the ultimate ice attribute.

Although she thought this way, as a newly promoted Black-level auctioneer, Qingya was still well-versed in the most basic service industry principle of not letting guests' words fall to the ground.

"I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand what you meant."

Qingya quickly put on a curious yet puzzled expression and blinked. This gesture almost made Yao Haoxuan, who was drinking juice, spit it out.

This elegant auctioneer is almost thirty years old, yet she can still put on such a fangirl-like expression of admiration for knowledge. No wonder she can become a black-level auctioneer; her emotional value is truly remarkable!
Chen Ping almost lost his composure when he saw Qingya's expression, but fortunately, he could endure anything for the sake of the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone!
"Hmm, it's nothing. The Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone has a characteristic that non-ultimate ice attribute soul masters will explode if they absorb it, or something like that. If I remember correctly, that's what it is?"

"Your Starlight Auction House should also mention this during the auction. It's not a big problem that there are no ultimate ice attribute soul masters up for auction. I just thought that your auction house had a VIP with ultimate ice attribute this time, so I asked this question specifically."

Right after Chen Ping finished speaking, Princess Jiu Jiu began to introduce the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone.

Upon hearing this, Qingya's expression instantly changed, and her hands clenched unconsciously until her knuckles turned white. As the auctioneer assisting in introducing the auction items in each private room, Qingya and Princess Jiujiu received exactly the same descriptions of the items.

But Qingya was certain of one thing: the description of the auction items that she had memorized so thoroughly these past few days would absolutely not contain any words that needed to be highlighted, such as "the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone can only be absorbed by Soul Masters with the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, otherwise they will explode and die."

Judging from the reactions of the other Shrek members, including Wang Yan, they seemed unaware of this, but Chen Ping remained calm and did not seem to intend for Qingya or the others to believe him.

Chen Ping's completely indifferent attitude threw Qingya into a panic.

Just as Chen Ping said, Shrek had already made up his mind to participate in the auction and knew the details of the item. He just needed to go through the normal procedures.

But what if the person who bid on this item wasn't from Shrek Academy? What if the characteristics of the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone that Chen Ping mentioned were real?

Qingya dared not think about it anymore. Chen Ping's words were far too serious, and regardless of whether they were true or false, she had to inform him first.

If the item in this auction is not as Chen Ping described, then this is actually just a minor, harmless incident.

Chen Ping is a black card member and a top student at Shrek Academy, so it's not a big deal if he occasionally misremembers some knowledge points.

But if this is true, and she was slow to report it, at least half of the responsibility will fall on her head.

Who told you to notify me so late?
The Shrek Academy people have brought up such an important matter, so it can't be Shrek's fault, right?

As for who introduced this item,

Does this mean that Princess Jiujiu, the youngest princess in the Star Luo Empire, deliberately caused this?

That would no longer be a mistake at the Starlight Auction; it would escalate to the national level.

Even Qingya, after much thought, could only helplessly admit that she was the most suitable person to take the blame.

So, in order not to take the blame for this, Qingya didn't hesitate any longer and hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, distinguished guests."

Immediately afterwards, Qingya walked away in a pair of high heels, her steps hurried, not daring to stop for a moment.

Wang Yan was also quite puzzled: "Chen Ping, where did you hear that the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone has such a strange property? I'll go and take a look next time."

Chen Ping's lips twitched: "Family tradition, it's all family tradition."

Hearing Chen Ping explain this matter as a family tradition, Wang Yan could only nod regretfully.

"It's a real pity. Your Panlong Sect has far more records of martial spirit knowledge than our family. Perhaps it was passed down by those two elders in the Martial Spirit Hall back then."

"It's a pity that so much valuable knowledge has been lost."

Wang Yan didn't say much, but he felt extremely sorry for the precious books that had been burned.
