Douluo Continent: So What If I Reincarnate as Ning Rongrong?

Chapter 64 The Auction House (Part 2)

The auctioneer turned on the device and told everyone that it was a convertible soul tool that could be enlarged and reduced in size.

With the successful transformation of the soul tool, it began to reveal its true form.

The ship is shaped like a shuttle, with a dragon head at the front and a fish tail that stands upright. The sides have fin-like wings that gently sway under the auctioneer's manipulation.

It is entirely white, yet if it were carved from jade, it would give one a very exquisite feeling.

"Boat?"

Looking at the soul tool on the auction stage, Dugu Yan's face showed a surprised expression.

Judging from its appearance, this soul tool doesn't seem like anything special.

In particular, it can change size at any time.

"A very sophisticated soul tool." This was Dugu Bo's high praise. Since the buildings of the Alchemy Pavilion were mainly constructed by Lou Gao of the Soul Guidance Pavilion, Dugu Bo also became interested in soul tools after using the Alchemy Pavilion for a period of time, and thus learned a little about them.

Listening to the auctioneer's introduction, Dugu Bo could tell that the soul tool in front of him was quite valuable.

"Perhaps Senior Lou Gao would be very interested," Ning Rongrong said with a light laugh.

In fact, Ning Rongrong was quite surprised as well. The soul tool on the auction stage was actually the ship that Tang San bought in Hanhai City in the later part of the original story—the Dragon Abyss Ship.

A "shh" sound came from outside the window.

It's easy to imagine how unpopular the Longyuan boat was; it likely failed to sell at auction many times.

This soul tool went unsold for eight years until Tang San finally obtained it in the original story.

Judging from the dismissive attitude of the people below, it's likely that it's been being sold for some time now.

"Outrageous," Ning Rongrong couldn't help but complain.

The auctioneer below seemed to be a seasoned veteran, completely immune to the boos from the audience, with a deadpan expression.

He coughed a few times: "After my introduction, everyone should be quite familiar with the Dragon Abyss Boat."

"The value of the Dragon Abyss Boat lies not in its physical form, but in its true function. If someone could unravel its mysteries, it would be well worth the price!"

"The Dragon Abyss Boat is up for auction at 30000 Gold Soul Coins! The auction has officially begun."

In fact, after the auctioneer said, "Unveiling the secrets... excellent value for money."

Many Soul Masters below and ordinary people who came to watch the auction looked toward the private rooms on the second floor with the lights on.

Looking at the pairs of bright green eyes below, Ning Rongrong's eyelids twitched.

"This boat is prepared for them; let's see if we can trick someone into buying it?"

Those below, who habitually look into the private rooms, can tell that this isn't the first time the ship has appeared in this form.

"Rongrong, should we buy it?" Dugu Yan had obviously noticed this as well. "Buying this boat would be like having money on our heads, like we're big fools who don't care about money."

"Buy it, so be it, it's stupid." Ning Rongrong patted the table in front of her.

"A mere 30000 gold soul coins? What am I afraid of with my millions in savings?"

"Rongrong, you have such a high tolerance for alcohol, I dare not shout! I'm afraid of embarrassing myself." Dugu Yan looked at Ning Rongrong with admiration.

"Hmph, all we get for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is being treated like a spoiled rich dog, isn't it?"

Ning Rongrong noticed the subtle look in Dugu Yan's eyes and coughed a few times.

When individual interests conflict with collective interests, what do personal gains and losses matter if the collective interest is chosen?

"Is that really the case..." Dugu Yan's lips twitched. She felt that Ning Rongrong was not that kind of person; she was just shameless.

After making her decision, Ning Rongrong slammed her hand on the button on the table.

On the auction platform below, the auctioneer's hand trembled inexplicably.

Get rich!

Holy crap, the manager was right, a complete idiot has appeared.

The auctioneer shouted to the crowd, his voice trembling, as if he were very excited.

"VIP Room Number One is offering 30000 Gold Soul Coins. Anyone want to raise the price? This is an extremely rare and irreplaceable ancient Dragon Abyss Ship. It's a great deal, so everyone should raise the price quickly."

The crowd below looked at the auctioneer with the eyes of someone who was an idiot.

However, auctioneers still maintain a certain level of professionalism.

This Longyuan boat has been auctioned many times, but has always failed to sell, so it can basically be considered an unconventional "treasure of the store".

I'm so happy that someone bought it today!

My own commission... just thinking about it makes me a little happy.

Tonight we can go to the most fun place in Hanhai City and have some fun!

No, three days, at least three consecutive days. Take leave tomorrow and come back to work in three days.

As for not being able to come?

Hmph... How could I, a dignified Sea Soul Master and a Soul Sect-level expert, be so weak?

nonexistent!

So, the Soul Sect auctioneer called out the price three times as a procedure, but no one bid.

But is there a problem with this?

No, it's already sold.

After amicably sending off the "treasured item," the auctioneer brought other treasures to the auction stage.

However, Ning Rongrong and the others in the VIP room seemed uninterested in the subsequent auction items.

The auction concluded as scheduled.

After paying the money and receiving the Longyuan boat, Ning Rongrong was very happy.

Theoretically, this ship can be used in coastal waters, but it can only withstand attacks from century-old soul beasts.

But as the auctioneer said, if you can figure out the secrets behind it, it might really be worth more than the price.

Ning Rongrong planned to go back, so she left the boat to Lou Gao, since he was very interested in novelties anyway.

Who knows, maybe one day they'll build a long-range, submersible warship.

Ning Rongrong was very satisfied with her trip to Hanhai City.

Next, we need to find the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

Looking at the ocean map in her hand, Ning Rongrong was still a little worried.

Because it only records the existence of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, but doesn't specify their numbers.

With Dugu Bo around, there's no need to linger in Hanhai City.

I was just thinking of finding a ship to see if it could sail. As for the Dragon Abyss Boat, there's no need to use it now; it's too fragile. It's better to just find a ship directly.

I walked towards the northwest gate, intending to ask around the sea if there were any boats available for sailing.

It's not far from the main gate.

Dugu Bo's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Someone is following us, and there are quite a few of them."

"Were you targeted at the auction house?" Dugu Yan asked her grandfather.

"It should be, but not some powerful Soul Master," Dugu Bo said. "They've been following us ever since we left the auction house; they're probably pirates."

"Aren't pirates in the water?" Dugu Yan asked.

"Maybe they're just trying to make a quick buck, that's why they abandoned their professional ethics," Ning Rongrong said casually.

"Senior Dugu, are you able to assess the opponent's strength?"

"Without activating spirit rings, it's hard to tell; it's unlikely to be a Soul Douluo or a Title Douluo."

Because he wasn't a powerful Soul Master, Dugu Bo wasn't too concerned.

"Arrest them, but don't kill them yet...maybe we can get some information about the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts from them," Ning Rongrong said.

"Alright." Dugu Bo nodded after a moment's thought. "However, we still need to be careful. It could be troublesome if they are desperate criminals."

Just then, the scattered footsteps quickened and became no longer concealed.

He ran straight ahead and stopped Ning Rongrong and the other two.

"stop!"

"We're here to rob you, hand over the money!"
