Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl-Chapter 824 The Treasure of Great Ancestor Ning! [2nd update]

Chapter 824: 824 The Treasure of Great Ancestor Ning! [2nd update]

In the Zeroing Community, Yan has always been a lone wolf, adept at concealing his identity.

But now he proposed a direct meeting, which raised Silvia’s vigilante instincts.

The timing of Yan and YN’s appearance was indeed very clever, and she suspected Yan was also human.

Thus, by bringing YN along, she felt more at ease.

Coincidentally, she could also meet up with YN.

[YN]: Did you accept his bidding?

[Don’t disturb me making money]: The Golden Heart is just money to me, but a promise from Young Master Yan is priceless.

Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, turning her head and resting her elbow as she looked at Yan Tingfeng: "A promise from Young Master Yan is worth its weight in gold."

"You’re exaggerating." Yan Tingfeng blinked with a light smile, "Not everyone can get my promise."

All things are about equivalent exchange, but toward Ye Wanlan, he had no reservations.

"She asked me to meet her." Ye Wanlan spoke unhurriedly, "It seems the reputation Young Master Yan left in the Zeroing Community is quite notorious and widespread."

Yan Tingfeng couldn’t help but smile: "Is it?"

"Ding."

A new message came through on the phone.

[Don’t disturb me making money]: Is the money baby not with you?

Seeing this line, Ye Wanlan’s gaze flickered slightly.

Most Atlantians bear no hostility to the humans on land; rather, because of the Zeroing Community’s existence, both sides have been able to coexist amicably, forming a closer relationship.

So after the Zeroing Community ended its service to the land, Atlantis netizens expressed regret and nostalgia for the days when the two races coexisted peacefully.

[YN]: No, she’s busy making money.

[Don’t disturb me making money]: That’s true, I guess we’ll have to wait for the land server to be restored one day.

[Don’t disturb me making money]: Are you at the auction today? If there’s something you fancy, just say it and I’ll bid for you.

Ye Wanlan hadn’t replied before another message popped up.

[Don’t disturb me making money]: Just let me know, Lancelot is useless. All he does is fight.

[YN]: Then I’ll trouble you.

[Don’t disturb me making money]: It’s no trouble. I’ve already said, if you and the money baby ever visit me one day, I’ll definitely treat you well.

Ye Wanlan turned off the phone and looked back up at the screen ahead.

The auction continued, and the Kellan Family indeed spared no expense, presenting items that were increasingly precious.

Among them, a portion of Dragon Scale Blood was auctioned off at the high price of 2.7 billion, and a knife named "Flowing Light" was bought by Box No. 3 for 5.6 billion.

Over the years, Baili Changkong had mostly been in seclusion, indeed saving up some money, but he barely reached ten figures.

To him, money has always been something extraneous.

If it weren’t for Ye Wanlan’s interest in antiques, he wouldn’t have come to the auction site.

This left Baili Changkong completely numb to the word "billion."

No wonder the Kellan Family controls the majority of Cangyuan Country’s wealth, not just half the territory, but at least four-fifths.

The total auction price had already exceeded a hundred billion, and the auction was only halfway through.

"The next item is very special because it fell to us from the land," the host said. "We know little else, but we can confirm it was unearthed six hundred and seventeen years ago, from the Shenzhou Land Continent."

As the last four words were spoken, Ye Wanlan’s expression gradually grew solemn.

The screen displayed a hollow spherical object with intricate carvings, showcasing high craftsmanship. Inside the sphere, a small golden ball rolled back and forth.

Judging by its appearance, it seemed like some kind of ornamental item, with nothing particularly special about it.

"Six hundred and seventeen years ago? From what I understand, wasn’t Shenzhou under the Ning Dynasty at this time?"

"Hey, I remember the People of Shenzhou praised the Ning Dynasty, claiming it was the best in the world back then."

"Well, that is without taking us into account. Our innate advantages far surpass those of humans."

"This thing looks ordinary. How precious can human artifacts really be?"

"I disagree. Since it’s something unearthed from the Ning Dynasty period and found here, it can’t be simple."

Guests whispered among themselves, all discussing this auction item.

To most humans, Atlantis remains a secret.

Even when ordinary people see Atlantians or discover something related to Atlantis, it is swiftly suppressed by national governments and relevant organizations.

But for Atlantians, neither Cangyuan Country nor Chongming Country conceals the existence of humans.

Yet, their understanding of humans is limited to official channels.

"Yan kid, did you come from the shore? Do you know what this thing is?" Baili Changkong stroked his chin. "Six hundred years ago was the Ning Dynasty, right? Which emperor was it?"

Before Yan Tingfeng could reply, Ye Wanlan murmured softly: "The Great Ancestor."

"Yes, yes, yes! Great Ancestor Ning!" Baili Changkong clapped his hands. "My knowledge of human history is alright, but it only extends to understanding several dynasties of Shenzhou."

Ye Wanlan’s eyes remained fixed on the screen, her pupils slightly dilating.

Perhaps others couldn’t discern what this was, but she could—

This spherical object was actually a key, cleverly disguised using mechanical techniques.

She had seen He Jia create such mechanisms firsthand, hence she was intimately familiar with them.

If the key was so complex, then what it unlocked must be extraordinary.

As if realizing something, Ye Wanlan’s expression subtly shifted.

Since the passing of the Great Ancestor, people have searched for his inheritance.

Some said acquiring the Great Ancestor Ning’s treasure would elevate one to royalty overnight.

Others claimed it was just a baseless rumor, that Great Ancestor Ning left no treasures behind.

But Ye Wanlan knew, treasure legends never come from nowhere.

As the founding emperor of the Ning Dynasty, Great Ancestor Ning personally led multiple campaigns, intimidating the Western Regions Northern Lands, expelling Barbarians, and reuniting the fragmented Shenzhou into one formidable entity.

Before Great Ancestor Ning, no one imagined a lowly figure of humble origins could become a king.

The "Heavenly Inception Grand Canon" was just one of many valuable items he left for posterity, and what he left behind was far more than this encyclopedia.

If this key corresponded to the Great Ancestor Ning’s treasure, then she must bid for it.

Even if it wasn’t, Ning Dynasty antiques cannot fall into the hands of others.

Ye Wanlan’s gaze turned chilly.

But how did this key end up here?

Could it, like Prince Yan’s Sword, have fallen into Atlantis due to fluctuations in space and time?

The disappearance of the key not only hindered the discovery of the Great Ancestor Ning’s treasure but also impacted the entire future of Shenzhou’s civilization progress.

Was it a coincidence, or a scheme?

"Ladies and gentlemen, regrettably, since we don’t know the specific value of this item, the starting bid—" the host raised a finger, "is just one yuan. Please begin, everyone."

Gasps erupted from the audience.

"One yuan? Did I hear that right?"

"It’s cheap, sure, but taking this item back is useless."

"Then I’ll offer a token sum, a hundred."

"Two hundred!"

"Generous me, five hundred."

Bidding arose accompanied by laughter, with many bidding, but it only raised the price to 1,300 yuan.

This price wasn’t even one percent of the base price of other auction items.

"Ladies and gentlemen, while this may just be an ornament, it hails from the most powerful dynasty of the human world." The host spoke loudly, "Even as a commemorative purchase, it’s excellent. Is there really no one willing to offer a price befitting it?"

"There is." A faint voice sounded, "One billion."

"..."

All laughter came to an abrupt halt.

In a "whoosh," all eyes turned toward the source of the voice.
