MTL - I’m Really Not Wrong-Chapter 164 Iceberg hanging upside down

  Chapter 164 Iceberg Upside Down Map

  After the two of them exchanged polite words, Chen Che watched Yu Fenglin leave.

   After shopkeeper Yu disappeared completely, he returned to the yard with the small wooden box.

  After returning to the room, he took out the soul-purifying pill formula from the small wooden box and looked at it carefully.

  As Yu Fenglin said, the composition of Dihun Pill is not complicated, but one key raw material is extremely rare.

   This thing is called Purifying Soul Water.

   This thing is a controlled material in Daqin, and it is not circulated through conventional channels.

  If you want to get this item, you can only try your luck in the black market in various places.

  …

  Three days passed in a flash.

  In the early morning of this day, a carriage stopped in front of the small courtyard. Chen Che walked out of the courtyard and got into the carriage.

   The driver was a middle-aged man, exactly the middle-aged man who led him to join the Parkway firm that day.

   "Mr. Chen, my surname is Xie Mingding. From now on, I will be your housekeeper.

   When we arrive at Feiyun City, I will arrange everything for you, Young Master Chen.

  As for Shopkeeper Yu, she has already led people away first. "

   Xie Ding said while driving.

   "Thank you butler, your shopkeeper is really careful."

  Chen Che praised.

  Yu Fenglin made an agreement with him to buy one lot, mainly to avoid any associations with other people.

  After all, these two items are related to warriors who practice ice-attribute true qi, so maybe someone will think of him.

  Since these items are to be photographed separately, it is natural that they cannot go to Feiyun City all at once.

   "Hehe, everything is for safety."

  Xie Ding smiled and added: "By the way, Mr. Chen, if you need to ask for a price when participating in the auction, you can just tell me directly, lest other people hear your voice."

   "Okay, shopkeeper Yu has a heart."

  Chen Che agreed.

  …

  Rising Sun City is quite far from Feiyun City. Although the carriage driven by Xie Ding was not slow, it took five full days to reach Feiyun City.

  Flying Cloud City is located at the intersection of three states, and its commerce and trade are extremely developed.

   In Feiyun City, a medium-sized auction is held almost every month, and then a large-scale auction is held every year.

  In any large-scale auction, there will be such an extremely precious finale as the last auction item.

  And this kind of auction item will not be written on the auction list issued in advance.

  The auction that Chen Che will participate in this time is an annual large-scale auction.

  …

  After resting in Feiyun City for a day, Chen Che and Xie Ding came to the auction house wearing masks.

  The auction house covers a huge area, with four entrances in total, and the two came to the east entrance of the auction house.

  Because the value of the items auctioned in the large auction is very high, the area around the east entrance is already heavily guarded at this time.

  …

   "The two want to participate in the auction?"

  In front of the gate, a middle-aged man wearing clothes with the firm's logo asked in a deep voice.

"Yes."

  Xie Ding replied.

   "If you want to participate in the auction, you need to verify the capital, the minimum is one hundred thousand taels of gold."

  The middle-aged man said again.

  Hearing the words, Xie Ding took out ten gold tickets with a face value of 10,000 taels from his arms and handed them to the middle-aged man.

  After the middle-aged man checked, a faint smile appeared on his face, and then he took out a wooden sign from his pocket and handed it to Xie Ding.

   "Two distinguished guests, please come in, this is your number plate."

  Xie Ding took the wooden sign and looked at it, then entered the auction room with Chen Che.

  As soon as he entered, a young and beautiful waitress took the initiative to greet him.

  After glancing at the numbers on the wooden sign, the waitress bowed slightly and said softly, "Two distinguished guests, please follow me."

   After finishing speaking, she began to lead the way.

  The interior space of the auction house is huge, estimated to be two to three thousand square meters.

   There are small compartments separated by wooden boards everywhere.

   This kind of cubicle is made of wood on three sides, and only one side is empty, facing the auction platform not far away.

  A moment later, the waitress brought Chen Che and Xie Ding to a small cubicle, and said softly:

   "Two distinguished guests, this is your place."

  Chen Che glanced at the inside of the cubicle after hearing this.

   This cubicle is about four square meters, and the layout inside is very simple, with only one table and two chairs.

  Snacks and steaming hot tea are already prepared on the table.

   "Two distinguished guests, if you need anything else, just let us know. The people from our firm are at the end of this aisle."

  The waitress reminded again.

"OK."

  Xie Ding nodded and sat down on the seat.

  Chen Che sat down.

  He has also participated in several other auctions before.

  In terms of environment, this small cubicle is definitely not as good as the boxes in those auctions he participated in before.

  However, those auctions also require ordinary seats where auctioneers gather together in addition to boxes.

   And the ordinary seats in this auction are such cubicles.

   "Mr. Chen, apart from collecting precious items for this auction, the most important thing is to protect the privacy of the auctioneer.

  The reason why Feiyun City's auction is so big is because of its location on the one hand, and because they have done a good job in protecting privacy on the other hand. "

  Xie Ding introduced with a smile.

   "Well, it did a good job."

  Chen Che nodded in agreement,

   "Mr. Chen, if you bid something later, someone from the auction house will send it over to hand it over on the spot. If you don't have anything else you need, you can leave.

  Due to the different departure times, murders and looting rarely occur in this auction. "

  Xie Ding added another sentence.

  …

   Time passed by one minute and one second.

   After the two waited for about half an hour, the auction finally officially started.

  On the auction stage, a rather rich-looking old man dressed in red and black satin came out first.

   "Welcome all distinguished guests to our Feiyun City Auction.

  Daihe, I will give you a detailed introduction of all the auction items today.

  First of all, today's first auction item, Huashen Pill.

  This Transforming God Pill can help warriors who are in the supernatural realm break through to the supernatural realm...I won’t go into details about it, but everyone knows it anyway.

  Hua Shen Pill, the starting price is 50,000 taels of gold tickets, so just bid what you want. "

  As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately began to bid.

   "I offer 50,000 taels of gold ticket."

   "Fifty-five thousand taels of gold!"

  …

   "Seventy-five thousand taels of gold tickets!"

  …

  Seeing that no one was calling for the price, Dai He said loudly, "Is there a higher price for the 75,000 taels of gold?"

  Seeing that there was no response, he didn't hesitate at all, and said directly: "75,000 taels of gold tickets are sold, come here, and send the Huashen Pill to honored guest No. 36."

  Hearing this, a warrior in black next to him immediately took the pill bottle and walked off the auction stage.

   "The next auction is..."

  …

   Sitting in the box, Chen Che can be regarded as seeing the world.

  According to his estimation, there are at least two hundred cubicles in this auction house.

   One hundred thousand taels of gold for a compartment verification, that is 20 million taels of gold.

   In fact, this is still the minimum standard. If the total amount is really counted, the combined golden tickets of these people who came today must be far more than 20 million taels.

  As for how much the total turnover of these auction items will reach in the end, he has no idea, but it must be an astronomical figure.

  Even if the auction house only extracts 5% from it, it can still make a lot of money.

  …

   "The 80,000 taels of gold ticket has been sold, come here, and give the star-chasing map to distinguished guest No. 36."

   After Dai He finished speaking, he hurriedly started the next auction item.

   "Today's sixteenth auction item is still a map of supernatural powers.

  This magical picture is called Iceberg Upside Down, and the starting price is 50,000 taels of gold! "

   As he spoke, Dai He rolled out a hanging picture of supernatural powers.

   This supernatural power map is about one meter long and forty centimeters wide. It depicts an endless glacier.

   At the end of the glacier, several towering icebergs are hanging upside down, as if they are about to fall from the sky.

  To be honest, at first glance, this picture of an iceberg hanging upside down is very ordinary, no difference from ordinary paintings at all.

  But after Chen Che saw this painting, there was a little rippling in his heart.

  He had a vague sense of enlightenment, but he couldn't say what it was for a while.

   "Fifty taels of gold ticket."

   Xie Ding was the first to bid.

  His voice is the thick middle-aged male voice, which is highly recognizable.

   "Fifty-five thousand taels of gold."

   Soon, another person offered a price.

  Xie Ding glanced at Chen Che at this moment.

   "Don't worry."

  Chen Che replied softly.

   "Fifty seven thousand taels of gold!"

  The third person makes an offer.

   "Fifty-eight thousand taels!"

  …

  The two raised the price to 64,000 taels not long after.

   After confirming that there were only these two competitors, Chen Che made an eight sign to Xie Ding.

  Xie Ding understood immediately, and said calmly: "I will offer 80,000 taels of gold ticket."

  As soon as the 80,000 taels of gold ticket came out, the other two immediately fell silent.

  Seeing that the venue became quiet, Chen Che couldn't help but speed up his heartbeat a lot.

  Time passed slowly... There was silence in the auction hall.

   After an unknown amount of time, Dai He finally said, "Eighty thousand taels of gold, is there anyone else who bid higher?"

  Seeing that there was no response, Dai He continued: "The 80,000 taels of gold ticket has been sold, come here, and give the picture of the iceberg upside down to the distinguished guest No. 27."

  After hearing these words, Chen Che and Xie Ding looked at each other, and they both saw relief from each other's faces.

  A moment later, the warrior in black sent the picture of the iceberg upside down into the cubicle, and Xie Ding decisively took out 80,000 taels of gold to complete the delivery.

   "I got it! Mr. Chen, shall we go?"

  Xie Ding lowered his voice.

  Chen Che suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "No hurry, if we leave now, then in the eyes of outsiders, our goal will be too clear, so wait a little longer."

"it is good!"

  Xie Ding agreed.

  The auction was still going on, but Chen Che couldn't wait to open the picture of the iceberg upside down and put it on the table.

   "Ultimate high pressure state, open!"

   Such a thought flashed through Chen Che's mind, and then he began to look at the picture of the iceberg hanging upside down.

   As a result, as soon as he looked at the picture, he felt a severe headache.

"Uh…"

  Chen Che let out a muffled snort, then suppressed the pain and covered his temples.

   After getting used to the pain, he began to observe the iceberg upside down map carefully.

   It didn't take long for him to feel as if his soul was trapped in this picture.

  The auction field in front of me gradually disappeared, replaced by an endless glacier.

  The sky and the earth were pure white, and the chill came from all around.

  Chen Che shrank his body subconsciously, and then looked into the distance.

  In the distant sky, three towering icebergs thousands of meters high are falling from the sky at high speed.

   Before it touched the ground, a terrifying chill formed a shock wave and rushed towards him.

   "Hiss..."

  Chen Che took a breath.

   Before he could clearly see the scene of the iceberg falling to the ground, the shock wave completely blasted him away.

   When I regained my senses, the glacier in front of me has disappeared, replaced by an upside-down picture of the glacier that looks ordinary.

   "Hoo..."

  Chen Che let out a long breath, and then closed his eyes.

  Under the extreme high pressure state, he felt his headache getting worse.

   After an unknown amount of time passed, he suddenly opened his eyes.

   Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his hand, and a small ice pick appeared in his palm.

  Seeing this scene, Chen Che suddenly clenched his fists and crushed the ice pick into pieces.

"interesting…"

  Chen Che whispered to himself.

  Beside Xie Ding, seeing this, wiped his cold sweat and said: "Mr. Chen, you startled me, I thought you were going to show your true icy energy here!"

  Chen Che smiled.

  He just had a faint realization, and really wanted to find a place to put it to good use.

   But he is not stupid enough to use it in this auction house.

   "Mr. Chen, I see that you have been staring at this picture in a daze for an hour. It must be true that this picture is not fake?"

  Xie Ding asked in a low voice.

   "Has this been an hour?"

  Chen Che looked at the auction stage in shock, only to realize that the seventy-ninth auction item had already been sold.

   After reacting, he replied softly: "Don't worry, this picture is real."

   "It's good if it's true! Mr. Chen, did you realize something just now?"

  Xie Ding asked again.

   "I did understand some, but not much."

  Chen Che replied truthfully.

   In fact, there are levels of comprehension of the supernatural power map.

  Different comprehension levels can comprehend magical powers of different powers.

  Although he had realized something just now, in fact he just touched the threshold of supernatural powers.

  Of course, although he has only touched the threshold, he has already surpassed most of the fighters in the Royal Sky Realm.

  According to his understanding, most of the warriors in the Royal Air Realm didn't react at all when they saw the supernatural power map.

   Those who can allow the soul to enter the world of the supernatural power map are already the best.

  As for those who comprehend supernatural powers... that's even rarer.

  In fact, people who can comprehend supernatural powers are very rare even if they step into the imperial realm, not to mention the imperial realm.

  Because of this, the price of this supernatural power map is generally not high.

  …

   "Today's eighty-third auction item is the material of the ice-attribute magic weapon, the ten-thousand-year extreme cold ice soul, and the starting price is 80,000 taels of gold."

  On the auction stage, Dai He took over the ice blue box from a warrior in black while talking.

   After putting the box on the auction stage, he put on gloves and opened the box carefully.

  As soon as the box was opened, a gust of cold air burst out from it.

  Dai He was obviously on guard, and his whole body was instantly surrounded by innate qi.

  Chen Che sat in the compartment and looked into the box, only to see a piece of ice that was about the same length and thickness as an arm lying in the ice blue box.

  The ice exudes a dark blue light, like a long strip of blue crystal, which looks extremely gorgeous.

   "This is the Ten Thousand Years Extreme Cold Ice Soul."

  Chen Che touched his chest subconsciously.

  He still wears the thousand-year cold spirit pendant given to him by his master...but compared with this ten thousand-year extremely cold ice spirit, the pendant is simply heaven and earth!
