Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

She blinked blankly and asked, "Why didn't they bid?"    

Xiao Yun touched his nose and said, "They probably felt that they could not afford a higher price than us, so they gave up."    

"I see..."    

Leng Yueling said, "Then if we bid for every one of them, would they give in?"    

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Most likely. They will give in, but I am not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others. Just play for a while and don't cut off other people's chances."    

"Oh..."    

Leng Yueling was obviously a little disappointed.    

Because this was not fun.    

Hai Qinghe did not delay and directly settled down.    

Leng Yueling asked them to send the small box to the front of the seat this time.    

She opened the box somewhat excitedly.    

She found a very exquisite water bottle inside.    

She didn't know what material it was made of, but it was inlaid with a lot of gemstones. It was a kind of luxurious and ancient style, but the two originally conflicting temperaments perfectly merged together.    

"What is this?"    

Leng Yueling took out the kettle and placed it on the table to play with it.    

Xiao Yun looked at it and smiled. "It should be a water bottle."    

"Uh..."    

Leng Yueling could not help but roll her eyes at him, but her eyes were filled with gentleness, "Then is this a profit or a loss?"    

Xiao Yun held the kettle in his hand and knocked on it. He opened the lid and looked inside.    

"It must be a profit. This water bottle is actually an antique. It's not the style of the surrounding countries. It's obviously from ancient tombs or historical sites. The gems on it, especially these few pieces, are worth dozens of taels of silver each. The raw materials were the least valuable part of it, the truly valuable part. It was the civilization, the craftsmanship, and that ancient era. Perhaps the proof of a civilization that has disappeared in the human world, if it is used to drink water on normal days... It's definitely a rather elegant thing."    

"Do you like it?"    

Leng Yueling's eyes lit up.    

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "You know, I like this kind of thing very much. The design of this kettle really suits my heart. For example, there is an empty space in the middle of this kettle that is used to store charcoal."    

"Coal?"    

"I don't know what kind of civilization it is, but it already knows that charcoal can purify water. As long as it is charcoal that is burned out of the high temperature, it will have a very strong absorption ability. Absorbing all the impurities in the water, to put it simply, it is detoxifying. This way, the water in the kettle would be safer to drink. It'll even become slightly sweeter."    

Xiao Yun liked this kind of delicate and useful design. It was the embodiment of craftsmanship.    

Leng Yueling nodded and quickly asked, "If it was sold normally, how much would this kettle be worth?"    

Xiao Yun thought for a moment and said, "About this, if we find a basic price, it should be 1000 silver taels. It might even be higher, and if it was in an auction, if we meet someone we like, then there's no limit to the price. If it was placed in a country like Sun Moon Country, it could even be sold for tens of thousands of silver taels. It can be considered a treasure. "    

" Oh, oh!"    

Leng Yueling was even more excited.    

She held the kettle in her hand and took a piece of silk cloth. She kept wiping it, preparing to wipe it until it was as bright as new.    

Actually, there was no need to wipe it. This kettle was also very beautiful.    

The body of the kettle that had experienced the passage of time, coupled with the eternally bright gem, gave people an extremely stunning feeling.    

Actually, if the traces of time on it were not wiped away, it would be better.    

But since Leng Yueling liked to wipe, then let her wipe it well.    

There was no need to stop it.    

Seeing this scene, the surrounding people all had bitter expressions.    

If this was hit, then it would definitely be a big mistake.    

But now, it was bought by Xiao Yun at the lowest price.    

No one could be happy about it.    

Especially Hai Qinghe, he was in an extremely miserable state.    

Such a good thing, yet it only sold for such a small price, he had already begun to prepare some excuses to explain to the seller.    

After all, no one could accept it, right?    

Xiao Yun naturally saw their expressions.    

Although no one said anything or did anything, Xiao Yun must have been hated by everyone.    

He yawned, stretched, and then smacked his lips and said, "About that, I should also take a good bath and then have a good sleep. Why don't we leave first today?"    

When he said this, everyone's faces showed excitement.    

That kind of anticipation was especially obvious.    

"No way!"    

But Tuoba Tian'er suddenly shouted.    

She sat next to Xiao Yun and looked at the kettle. She pouted and said, "No, I haven't played with it yet. You don't have to be biased in this kind of thing, do you? "    

"Uh..."    

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Then... You want to bid for one too?"    

"Of course I want to bid!"    

"Alright... alright."    

Xiao Yun did not know whether to laugh or cry.    

What was Tuoba Tian'er's identity?    

That was the North Wei Literary Sect's saintess.    

She was born rich.    

What treasures had she not seen before?    

She had probably participated in this kind of auction many times.    

But now, she insisted on participating. Seventy to eighty percent of the reason was that she felt that Leng Yueling had something that she should have too.    

Was this considered jealousy?    

Xiao Yun could not explain it clearly.    

Or was it purely competitive?    

In any case, Xiao Yun couldn't do anything to her.    

She had finally returned to her own place. She could do whatever she wanted.    

Once Tuoba Tian'er auctioned, the entire venue immediately became nervous again.    

Every box was pushed out. They were worried that Tuoba Tian'er was going to bid, so they turned around to look at her.    

But Tuoba Tian'er did not make a move for a long time.    

This made everyone feel that it was possible that this guy did not want to bid or was too cautious.    

Thus, they gradually forgot about this matter and focused all of their attention on the auction.    

Until the last item...    

When the price was raised to 2000 silver, Tuoba Tian'er made her move.    

"Two thousand one hundred taels!"    

The audience instantly quieted down.    

All of them looked at her with bitter expressions.    

This was the final item.    

It was also the last item of value in the entire auction.    

In this venue, many people knew what this item was.    

Many people even came here for this item!    

Now that Tuoba Tian'er suddenly intercepted them, how could they remain silent?    

Even if they knew they wanted to offend the temperamental Xiao Yun, they still started bidding.    

"Two thousand five hundred silver."    

"2,900 taels."    

"Three thousand taels!"    

...    

The price continued to rise.    

This stunned Tuoba Tian'er.    

She thought that it was the same for herself. As long as she opened her mouth, no one would bid.    

In the end, when it came to her, they did not care anymore?    

They weren't scared anymore?    

This made Tuoba Tian'er very angry.    

Especially angry.    

She even turned around and glared at Leng Yueling.    

This kind of thing. The desire to compete had existed since the first time she had heard of the female war god of Qin Country in the southern territory. It had persisted until now. Not only did it not turn for the better, it seemed to be getting more and more intense.    

Therefore, in her opinion, this group of people was not giving her face. They were simply bullying her! They did not care about the dishes they cooked.    

However, in reality, everyone felt bitter in their hearts as well.    

The final item, could it be given away?    

Could it not be snatched?    

Furthermore, she was the woman beside Xiao Yun after all.    

As for women, in these people's hearts, they actually did not attach too much importance to them.    

Even if Xiao Yun spoiled his woman, there must be a limit, right?    

Xiao Yun couldn't possibly bet all his cash just because of this woman's words, right?    

As long as he didn't spend all of his money and only allowed her to touch a portion, everyone still had a chance.    

Moreover, they felt that Xiao Yun was a person who valued rules. They could tell from his words and actions.    

As for the auction, that was the rule of the auction house.    

Whoever paid the most money would have the item.    

So they only saw the opportunity and not really made things difficult for Tuoba Tian'er.    

But Tuoba Tian'er did not think so.    

She was also angry.    

Seeing that the price was high, she suddenly stood up and shouted, "10,000 taels!"    

She directly raised the price of the item by more than a level.    

Then, he sneered and looked around.    

Everyone felt that she had gotten angry.    

Only Xiao Yun knew that Tuoba Tian'er was having fun.    

She liked to fight, and she liked to fight. She had decided from the moment she was born. This was something that existed in her bones.    

Moreover, it was rare to see Tuoba Tian'er in such an emotional state.    

It was rare.
