Chapter 248 - 248 Re-Entering The Nightless City
248 Re-Entering The Nightless City
At night.
Ling Yi received a reply from Nangong Li.
[Vermillion Bird: They have agreed to let you visit the Treasure Vault. And also, in order to help you increase your Yang energy, they have something to give you.]
The next second—
[You have received a gift from the ‘Vermillion Bird’: Explosive Yang energy pill]
After the conversation ended, Ling Yi didn’t immediately check the pill.
Instead, he frowned and thought about what he should do when he entered.
‘It’s definitely not feasible to just touch it with your hands.’
‘If I could have a pair of invisible hands that wouldn’t be detected by any tools or Skills to touch it for me, that would be perfect!’
‘Invisible hand…’
At that thought, Ling Yi immediately logged onto the forum and searched for “Invisible Hand”.
The result came very quickly.
According to the players’ discussion, there was once a 1 Star rare Skill called “Invisible Magic Hand”, which could create an invisible hand near one’s body. Although this invisible hand could not be used in battle, it had the same sense of touch as the user. It was often used to make fun of people and do… wretched things.
15 years ago, in order to stop evil practices, the entire Alliance listed Skills such as “Invisible Magic Gand”, “See-Through”, and “Wall Passing” as forbidden Skills, forbidding players from trading and learning them.
By now, there had been no news of this Skill on the forum for many years.
‘I remember the last World Announcement rewarded me with a wish voucher… if it really doesn’t work, then use that one.’
However, Ling Yi felt that it was a loss to exchange the wish coupons for a 1 Star Skill. He decided to wait and see.
Anyway, the Treasure Vault was one of the rewards for breaking the black veil, so he didn’t even need to consider it before he went to break the black veil.
Immediately after, he opened his backpack to take a look at the effects of the [Explosive Yang Pill].
‘Oh? Not bad. Use it before you rest at night.’
Ling Yi, Lin Shurou, and the others entered the Nightless City once again after they put the precious medicine to the back of their minds.
…
The Nightless City was in the dark 24 hours a day.
Looking up, he could see a huge full moon and a sky full of stars.
The night scene was charming and beautiful.
Ling Yi and the others played around in the night market for a while. When the time for the huge auction came, they all entered the auction house on time.
“Quick look! That’s the Guild Master of the God Guild, Vocaw. He actually came.”
“Of course, he came. Yesterday, his guild’s scandal spread all over the world. If he doesn’t do something, people we’ll see him as a coward.”
“The God Guild is the number one guild in White Eagle Nation. They’ll definitely get back at us for the humiliation we lost yesterday.”
“That’s too stubborn. How could they possibly defeat Mr. Ling?”
While everyone was discussing, Ling Yi turned his gaze to a spot a few hundred meters away.
God’s members were currently sitting in the main hall. The number of members has increased significantly since yesterday.
At the front of the line, an extremely burly silver-haired middle-aged man was resting with his eyes closed and his arms crossed. He was the guild master of the God Guild, Vocaw.
He was a level 92 expert who just turned 40 this year!
Ling Yi looked at him and thought about how he could get the fragment of the divine weapon from him. This was also the purpose of his visit to the Nightless City tonight.
‘Or I’ll just use the strong hunting gloves to snatch it myself. Why don’t we lower his intelligence and make him send himself to me?’
He already had these two plans prepared before he stepped foot into the Nightless City. But he hadn’t thought through how he would do it or any other outstanding ideas for backup.
Time did not wait for him, and the auction began as scheduled.
The auctioneers on stage were still the same two people from yesterday— Yu Zhu from the Mystic Moon financial group and Geno from the God Guild.
“I heard that Geno didn’t want to come here anymore, but in order to show that they’re not afraid of mr. Ling, they paid him to come up again.” Someone in the crowd said.
Being an auctioneer in an auction house was a good position to show off and increase one’s reputation. If the disciples of other forces wanted to quickly become famous in front of the players from various countries, one of the ways was to become an auctioneer in such a large auction.
Of course, in order to maintain the basic auction process, the consortium would also send a professional auctioneer. This formed a situation between two auctioneers.
…
“Next up is the 55th item, a rare transformation card, the [Giant Earth Bear].”
“After using it, you can change your appearance to that of a giant earth bear. And this beast is five meters tall~”
“The starting price is 1,000, and each increment must not be less than 100. Let’s start!”
After Yu Zhu finished speaking, Geno, who was holding a hammer at the side, smashed it down heavily.
Bang! Bang!
The transformation card was the most advanced disguise tool in God’s Path.
It only had the ability to change one’s appearance, and there were no additional effects. What’s more, it also had extremely high disguising abilities, and the players currently knew that all kinds of items or abilities could not see through it.
No one said anything and turned their eyes to the big screen.
[Guild leader of God Guild: 100,000]
[Mr. Ling: 110,000]
“Again, again. The two of them are going to fight for the auction item again.”
“I can’t even figure out who’s targeting who now. If one side bids, the other side will follow. Is there a grudge between the two sides?”
[Guild leader of God Guild: 120,000. Mr. Ling, you’re so bold. Because you and I have already spent 560,000 to bid for the item that could have been bought for 300,000.)]
[Mr. Ling: 130,000. The same goes to you]
[Guild leader of God Guild: 140,000. I must get this transformation card. Let’s see who is richer.]
Seeing this, Ling Yi smiled.
‘Just as planned’
All this time, he had followed the guild leader. Whatever the God Guild leader wanted, he would bid higher.
The goal was to arouse the other party’s malice towards him, thus reducing the other party’s intelligence.
Although he could also lower the other party’s intelligence, it would be easy for others to detect it if he did not lower his intelligence during the process.
Now that they had gone through such a ‘targeted rush’ process, others felt that it was only natural.
“Hahaha, after being robbed so many times, Guild Leader Vocaw can’t bear it anymore.”
“It’s here, it’s here. Now, it’s time to see who has more financial resources!”
The crowd in the auction house only felt that the matter was not big enough.
[Mr. Ling: 300,000]
[Guild leader of God Guild: 400,000. Yes! Come at me!]
[Mr. Ling: 900,000]
[Guild leader of God Guild: 1,000,000. Come on, come on!]
[Mr. Ling: 1.01 million]
[Guild leader of God Guild: 2 million]
“Whaaat! It had shot up to 2 million in an instant! Is the God Guild leader getting angry?”
“Most likely,”
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, the leader of the God Guild, Vocaw, who was known for his calm demeanor…
[Intelligence-60%]
He crossed his arms and faced the dissuasion of the guild members around him. A cold smile appeared on his face as he said, “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing,”
“Even if we don’t have enough money later, we can just rob someone on the spot. Aren’t there plenty of wallets around us?
All the members looked at him confused.
“We don’t have to worry about the money.”
All the members’ faces paled. They could only hope that their guild leader was only joking.
The current Vokao didn’t care about the members’ feelings. He turned his head and scanned the crowd. Then he opened his backpack and sneered at an item in it.
[An ordinary Flashlight that Promotes Metabolism (C)]: It can shoot out a mysterious yellow beam of light, and the target that is hit by it will have a strong excretion reaction.
This was an item he had specially prepared to embarrass “Mr. Ling” in front of everyone.
As long as he found the other party, he would immediately use it on him.
Even if he had to disguise his appearance, he still had to drag this guy too.
