Chapter 199: Chapter 80: A Chance Encounter with Princess Jinrou
Translator: 549690339
Naturally, the amount of funds at Gangluo City’s auction house cannot compare to that of the auction house in Jia City, a tenth-level city. In Jia City, it’s fairly easy to buy a sixth-level Soul Armor, as long as you have enough funds.
When Chu Mu entered the auction house, he checked today’s trading list and quickly found the sixth -level Full-state Offensive Soul Armor.
Soul pets of different races have different attack methods. A Soul Claw is, in fact, a narrow concept that only represents the Soul Armor transforming into a Claw. In reality, offensive Soul Armor can transform into any weapon-like part of a soul pet, such as sharp claws, fierce fangs, bone horns, blade wings, arms…
The Soul Claw is only refined according to the structure of the claw. When a Soul pet transformed by thoughts, it can only attach the effect of the Soul Armor to the claw.
Full-state Offensive Soul Armor is a higher-level existence and can transform into any attack method of a soul pet according to its needs.
If equipped with this kind of Full-state Offensive Soul Armor, as long as the Soul pet controls it through thought, the effect of the Soul Armor will attach to any attack part of the Soul pet.
For example, Zhan Ye. If it performs the Ink Armor Thorn skill, the effect originally attached to Zhan Ye’s Claw can also be applied to the sharp Ink Armor Thorn, directly enhancing the power of this skill.
Chu Mu didn’t find a direct Soul Claw in the list at the auction house, but instead saw a Level 6 Full-state Offensive Soul Armor.
Undoubtedly, the price of Full-state Offensive Soul Armor would be much more expensive than a single-state offensive Soul Armor.
“Full-state Offensive Soul Armor is very suitable for Zhan Ye, who has many attack methods,” Chu Mu was tempted when he saw this Level 6 Full-state Offensive Soul Armor.
Zhan Ye has many forms of attack: Claw Blades, Horn Strikes, Armor Thorns, Iron Tails. This kind of Soul pet, if it has Full-state Offensive Soul Armor, its combat power can be improved in all aspects!
“The starting price is 5 million gold coins…” When Chu Mu saw the starting bid, his heart cooled again. If the starting price was 5 million, the actual price must be around 10 million, which is how much Chu Mu has now.
Chu Mu hesitated for a long time at the auction house. In the end, he still decided to try and compete. If he could buy it at a price of 10 million, Chu Mu would grit his teeth and buy it because this kind of Soul Armor truly has great combat value.
The sixth-level Soul Armor, the Fifth-Rank Zhan Ye, obviously cannot integrate it into the soul for now. If it can be purchased, this Soul Armor can be used by MO Ye first, allowing MO Ye’s combat power to increase again. When Zhan Ye reaches the Sixth Level, then this Full-State Soul Armor which is more suitable for it can be equiped.
Chu Mu entered the auction house. There were quite a few things at the auction that Chu Mu was interested in. At one point, Chu Mu almost wanted to give up on the Full-state Offensive Soul Armor, which was unlikely to be purchased for 10 million, and buy a sixth-level Xuan Crystal Soul Orb that could increase element damage.
The Xuan Crystal Soul Orb, this kind of Soul Armor was refined from the soul of a powerful Soul pet controlling Xuan Crystal. After integrating this Ice Soul Orb into the soul of the Soul pet, the Soul pet could then transform into Xuan Crystal.
During the recommendation matches, it was when the Xuan Crystal Ice Elf used the Xuan Crystal effect that the situation of the battle against the Ice-Feathered Spirit significantly changed.
Xuan Crystal is similar to the effect of Demon Fire Evil Flame, it can directly increase the damage of a Soul pet’s ice element skills by several ranks.
And Xuan Crystal Soul Orb, is for some ice element Soul pets to directly have the ability to manipulate Xuan Crystal, allowing the damage of ice element skills to increase directly.
The Soul Orb on the auction is a sixth-level Xuan Crystal Spirit Orb, which increases the damage of the ice element by at least 50%. If it could be equipped on the Ice-Feathered Spirit, the damage of the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s ice skill would increase a lot again, and the defenses will also improve because of this Xuan Crystal. Therefore, when the price of Xuan Crystal Spirit Orb was fluctuating around 6 million, Chu Mu was somewhat tempted.
However, in the end, Chu Mu didn’t bid. The price Chu Mu could accept for the Xuan Crystal Spirit Orb was 5 million. If he spent 1 million more to buy this equipment, Chu Mu would feel a bit distressed.
The same Level 6 Full-state Offensive Soul Armor, if the price exceeds the 10 million that Chu Mu can accept, Chu Mu will abandon the purchase without hesitation.
Chu Mu started from scratch. If it weren’t for the assassins from the Nightmare Demon Palace, Chu Mu wouldn’t have gotten the 5 million so easily. Chu Mu is not a big tycoon, and he must buy things at a reasonable price.
“Ning, I’ll buy a better one for you later,” Chu Mu also specifically comforted the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
The Ice-Feathered Spirit, which has been with Chu Mu for three years, is experienced and mature in battle, but in terms of mindset, it is still like a naive child, very pure.
The Demon Tree Warrior got a Heart of Demon Wood not long ago, so it naturally has no objections, and The Demon Tree Warrior is always calm when the Soul pets are being spoiled and having a midnight snack.
As for the Night Thunder Dream Beast, it is necessary for Chu Mu to buy it a speed-based Soul Armor.
Finally, it was time to auction the sixth-level Full-state Offensive Soul Armor.
Admittedly, Chu Mu was lucky. After continuous bidding with several competitors, Chu Mu managed to buy Full-state Offensive Soul Armor at a low price of 8.7 million.
Being able to close this sixth-level Full-state Offensive Soul Armor at such a price was a big surprise to Chu Mu. After all, 10 million would already be a
reasonable or slightly low price for this kind of Soul Armor.
In fact, during the auction, Chu Mu felt that the atmosphere of the auction was very strange. However, Chu Mu didn’t think much about it. He followed his own standards and added a price, and he inexplicably ended up in his own hands.
Inside the VIP Auction Hall
“Hmph, find out who the hell is causing trouble in here!” The Deputy City Master of Jia City, Jia Qing, said with an unpleasant expression.
“Forget it, the princess wasn’t very interested in that item…” the princess’s attendant, Jinkui, interjected.
Princess Jinrou didn’t say anything, but slowly stood up and walked toward the exit. Her four beautiful attendants immediately followed, with eight guards from the Nightmare Demon Palace trailing behind…
Deputy City Master Jia Qing’s smile turned rigid and he glared fiercely at the unruly fellow in the other room.
The Princess had been planning to visit the auction house while touring Jia City. Jia Qing, who was with her, had asked the auction house to ban others from bidding, so the princess could purchase whatever she wanted at a low price.
Jia Qing naturally was willing to cover this difference in price. However, to keep the princess happy, he could still afford this discrepancy. But to his surprise, an ignorant fellow suddenly appeared halfway through, buying all-state offensive Soul Equipment at a low price of 8.7 million.
Jia Qing originally wanted to spend his own money and bid on behalf of the princess, but he was refused, hence, an all-state level six Soul Armor, approximately 2 million gold coins lower than the standard price, was purchased by this unknown fellow.
The person in question, Chu Mu, naturally did not comprehend the reason behind this, but he was happy about his luck and silently felt relieved for not purchasing the level six Xuan Crystal Soul Orb for 6 million.
“Father, I’ve figured it out. The young man in black is the buyer from the VIP room.” Jia Qing’s eldest son, Jia Luoming, said in a low voice.
Jia Qing’s gaze immediately shifted, and he quickly spotted Chu Mu, who had just left the auction hall, from the long trading hall at the auction house.
“Give that fellow a lesson!” Jia Qing said in a low voice.
The princess didn’t buy the level six all-state offensive Soul Armor, but Jia
Qing still had to compensate almost 2 million gold coins to the auction house. Even as the Deputy City Master, he wasn’t generous enough to let others benefit from such a significant advantage.
Jia Luoming immediately nodded and, accompanied by two family servants, quickly approached Chu Mu who had just completed the transaction.
“What’s the matter?” Chu Mu looked up and fixed his gaze on the three men who blocked his way.
“Where did you come from, don’t you know the rules? Competing with the princess for items, don’t you Imow what death is!” Jia Luoming coldly snorted.
Upon mentioning the princess, Chu Mu turned his gaze towards the opulent auction house. He noticed a noblewoman amidst a number of guards and attendants, walking slowly towards the exit of the auction house.
Upon seeing Princess Jinrou, Chu Mu realized his good luck in buying the level six full-state Soul Armor for its price was not luck but due to his chance encounter with Princess Jinrou…
“Princess, that man in black seems to be the one who was bidding against you.” As Jinrou left the auction hall, Jinkui quickly noticed Chu Mu leaving…
“Hmm.” Princess Jinrou only nodded, she did not spare a glance in Chu Mu’s direction. Being a princess, she did not need to worry about these matters.
“Don’t worry, princess, we’ll teach this insolent boy a lesson.” Jia Qing immediately said.
Jinrou glanced at Jia Qing. She seemed to find Jia Qing’s flattery somewhat tasteless. Looking at Jia Luoming, who was already causing trouble, Jinrou said calmly, “Fair bidding, intimidation is wrong. There is no need to make life difficult.”
“The princess is truly kind-hearted.” Jia Qing immediately praised, he did not call Jia Luoming back, but respectfully saw Princess Jinrou out of the auction house hall.
As they left the auction house, a golden princess carriage had already stopped outside the hall. Many people on the street gathered around, speculating with envy if it was the royal carriage of the little princess from the Nightmare Demon Palace.
As the veiled Princess Jinrou emerged, a wave of admiration resounded around her…
“Princess, that man just now seemed rather familiar, somewhat similar to your new personal guard.” Jinkui, who was assisting the princess into the carriage whispered.
“Oh?” Princess Jinrou raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Bang!!! ! ! t,
Suddenly, a din was heard from within the auction house, stirring a flurry of panicked shouts.
Jinrou pulled back the curtain and saw a man with a proud figure, surrounded by cold air, walking out from the auction house. Next to him was a fantastical Evil Flame Six-tailed Demon Fox with its exaggerated six tails, exuding an eerie charm…
