Chapter 241 Making a Small Profit: Resources the Nationalist Team Competes For
The money Qin Xiaonan has now mainly comes from transactions with the Mu family when she was in China.

He possesses many valuable items, such as a complete monarch skeleton and even imperial-grade materials, but he will not sell these items.

Since his training at the Nationalist government, he has traveled to many places, and he really doesn't have much cash left.

Nowadays, a single insect egg can fetch over a billion dollars at auction. After a brief consideration, Qin Xiaonan decided to try and make a small profit.
-

The next day, in the evening, Qin Xiaonan went to the Azure Eye Auction House alone.

As yesterday's distinguished guests, the auction naturally dared not neglect them.

A senior attendant quickly approached, a respectful smile on his face, and bowed slightly: "Good evening, sir. Welcome back to [Azure Eye]."

"I want to auction some things."

"Okay, please follow me to the VIP room and wait a moment?"

Qin Xiaonan nodded slightly.

He was then led to a VIP room that was even more luxurious than the one he had seen the day before.

After serving fragrant hot tea and a plate of delicate pastries, the waiter quietly withdrew.

He didn't have to wait long.

The heavy oak door to the VIP room was pushed open, and an elderly man with gray hair, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and a stern demeanor walked in.

"Hello, sir. I am August, the chief appraiser of the auction house."

"We understand you have items to consign for auction? According to procedure, we need to conduct a preliminary appraisal and evaluation first."

"Yes."

With a flick of his wrist, Qin Xiaonan's seemingly casual movement instantly drew the attention of everyone present—ten egg-shaped objects of similar size and peculiar texture appeared out of thin air on the velvet tray in front of him!

It was exactly ten Void Worm Eggs!

They lay quietly on dark velvet, their surfaces flowing with the same dark purple star patterns as yesterday's auction items.

Under the soft lighting of the VIP room, these star patterns seemed to pulsate slowly as if they were alive, emitting an eerie and profound light.

Chief Appraiser August's pupils contracted sharply behind his glasses. He had handled countless rare treasures, but seeing ten complete void insect eggs with such clear energy fluctuations at once still shocked him.

Currently, the vast majority of Void Worm Eggs are under the tight control of the Holy City.

Those items that end up on the black market or at auction houses are all things that certain forces or individuals have painstakingly salvaged from the Mediterranean Sea, a region where a great war once took place, at great cost, like finding a needle in a haystack.

The appearance of each one is enough to cause a stir in a specific circle.

And this young man in front of me so casually took out ten!

Augustus took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

He carefully picked up an insect egg, the touch on his fingertips was cold and slippery, as if he were holding a piece of cold jade from the abyss.

He took out a crystal lens inlaid with a complex magic circle and examined it closely.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After repeatedly confirming, he slowly put down the insect eggs and the lens, "Sir..."

"These ten... are all genuine, and... their energy activity is extremely high, and their condition is practically perfect! Forgive my bluntness, but to entrust such a large number of 'interdimensional symbiotic spirit beast eggs' to auction at once is... this is extremely rare in the history of the [Azure Eye]! Are you sure?"

"Confirmed." The "strategic resource" that people now regard as a treasure and guard so fiercely is only due to Pierre Vess's orders.

Just then, the door to the VIP room was pushed open again.

Siren Veronica, the legendary auctioneer and one of the behind-the-scenes controllers of the Blue Eye, has finally made her appearance.

She was still wearing that dress, her long, shimmering sea-blue hair gleaming, and a hint of surprise on her stunning face.

Her gaze immediately locked onto the ten insect eggs on the tray, her pupils dilating slightly.

"Master August, what was the result?"

“Ms. Veronica,” August bowed respectfully, “all ten are of the highest quality 'Symbiotic Spirit Beast Eggs,' with excellent activity, and their value is…!”

Veronica's gaze then turned entirely to Qin Xiaonan, and a charming smile bloomed on her face.

She walked gracefully closer and sat down elegantly on the sofa opposite Qin Xiaonan, crossing her long legs.

"Ten! Rest assured, [Azure Eye] will provide you with the highest level of service, and we will develop the best auction strategy."

"Putting such a large number of 'rare treasures' into the market all at once would dilute their value. I suggest... auctioning them in batches to create a sustained sense of scarcity and competitive excitement."

Qin Xiaonan didn't have much of an objection to this, saying, "How you conduct the auction is your business."

"Then I wish us happy cooperation."

The efficiency of the Blue Eye is astonishing.

Shortly after Qin Xiaonan left, explosive news about "continuous release of rare 'symbiotic spirit beast eggs'!" was precisely delivered to the top circles of Venice through the auction house's efficient channels.

Meanwhile, teams participating in the World Championships were arriving in Venice one after another for pre-competition rest and preparation!
The National Tournament is the highest arena for the top young mages from various countries, representing unparalleled glory.

In order to achieve excellent results in this world-renowned event, or even to secure a foothold for their own children in the team and obtain more resources, the powerful family forces behind them often spare no effort to invest resources in a final sprint to strengthen their position.

The strange and powerful spatial force granted by the Void Insect Eggs instantly became the most sought-after "strategic weapon" in the eyes of those well-informed and ambitious families!
The auction house for "Azure Eye" was in complete uproar.

Each auction of insect eggs devolved into a bloody battle between major powers, especially wealthy families with members of the Nationalist government on their teams.

The price soared, surpassing yesterday's record of one billion, and Qin Xiaonan provided only the "latest" and "high-quality" insect eggs.

Meanwhile, undercurrents were also surging within the Chinese National Government team.

Some of the family forces behind the members, after learning of the amazing effects of the Void Worm Eggs,

He then used his vast funds and network of contacts, and after several rounds of intense bidding, he finally won the auction!
This includes Lu Yilin and Nan Rongni.

At this moment, in a mansion of the Nanrong family in Venice.

Nan Rongni held her breath, staring at the void insect eggs that floated silently in front of her.

An elderly man with a solemn face and sharp eyes like a hawk was standing to the side; he was an elder of her Nanrong family.

“Ni’er,”

"This is the 'opportunity' that the family has secured for you. This item can open up additional spatial power for you, and its power is far beyond that of ordinary spatial magic users."

Nan Rongni snapped back to reality, her heart still pounding wildly at the eerie light.

She looked up at the old man. "You mean... this thing... can provide me with additional spatial magic?"
