Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

This shady auction had a strange smell of conspiracy, which aroused Xiao Yun's interest.    

    

It was as if everyone around him was an insider, and only he was an outsider. He didn't even know what kind of trap this was. This feeling was very interesting.    

    

Xiao Yun suddenly had an idea. What would happen if he made a bid?    

    

At this moment, a very large box was displayed on the high platform.    

    

It was bigger than many of the previous boxes.    

    

Xiao Yun's ears and eyes were now sharp, and he could even hear some sounds coming from inside.    

    

It sounded like someone was knocking on a wooden board.    

    

Could it be that there was a living creature inside?    

    

Hai Qinghe quickly announced the starting price.    

    

It was still thirty taels.    

    

It was as if he didn't care at all about what this place was. Or perhaps, he knew where the final price should be.    

    

Sure enough, before Xiao Yun could react, the price had already reached over two hundred taels.    

    

Xiao Yun blinked his eyes. Taking advantage of the short period of peace after this round, he immediately said, "Three hundred taels."    

    

His light words attracted everyone's attention.    

    

Xiao Yun spread his hands and looked around. He then laughed and said, "What's wrong? I only offered a price. I don't think it would make you so anxious, right? Or is it to say that the bidders here are all predetermined? I don't have the qualifications?"    

    

Hai Qinghe hurriedly laughed and said," Aiya, this young master is too foreign. Everyone look over. It's just that the young master is sitting at the main seat. Logically speaking, he should be a distinguished guest today. However, he never made a bid. Everyone thought that the goods of today were... They couldn't let the young master see them. Now, the young master finally made a bid. I think that Young Master must be very satisfied with this item. That's why everyone took a second look at it."    

    

It was reasonable.    

    

Xiao Yun nodded his head. He couldn't say that he believed his words, but he also agreed with it.    

    

Smart people were always liked by others.    

    

At this moment, a man shouted, "Five hundred taels."    

    

A hundred taels of silver was added in an instant. It was much more domineering than what Xiao Yun had shouted.    

    

Xiao Yun didn't even look at it. He waved his hand and said, "Then five thousand taels will do."    

    

In one sentence.    

    

It made everyone's heart tighten!    

    

This... it increased tenfold in an instant?    

    

Similarly, this caused Hai Qinghe's expression to become somewhat bitter.    

    

"That... Young master, the rules here are cash transactions. How much did you shout and you have to give it to me on the spot. I'm afraid ordinary people won't be able to bring that much money with them... Well, it's not that I can't afford it, young master. I'm just worried that you don't have that much cash with you."    

    

It was reasonable again.    

    

Hai Qinghe really liked Xiao Yun.    

    

He asked this question because he wanted to ask Xiao Yun whether he had some financial ability. On the other hand, he wanted to give others an explanation.    

    

After all, such a rash price would cause others to question it.    

    

Instead of making others question him and cause conflict, it was better for him to ask first. It was better than anything else.    

    

Xiao Yun was not angry, but he did not explain.    

    

Instead, he reached into his arms.    

    

He casually took out a small bag and put it on the table...    

    

With a bang, it was clearly very heavy.    

    

Everyone looked over and couldn't help but calculate in their hearts.    

    

This package was very heavy, but it was definitely not as heavy as 500 jin.    

    

It clearly did not match Xiao Yun's bid.    

    

Each and every one of them looked at him with disdain.    

    

They suspected that Xiao Yun had no idea how much 5000 silver was.    

    

However, the moment the package was opened, everyone was dumbfounded.    

    

They couldn't even believe it.    

    

Gold bars.    

    

They dispersed with a hualala sound.    

    

Then, Xiao Yun gently swiped his palm on them, and they immediately lined up in a row.    

    

It looked like a small golden platform.    

    

Xiao Yun placed the glass on the table and actually treated it as a table.    

    

Gulp.    

    

The brothel keeper couldn't help but gulp.    

    

Xiao Yun turned his head and asked, "By the way, how's the arrangement of those three people?"    

    

"Naturally, they are arranged very well according to Young Master's instructions."    

    

"En, that's good."    

    

Xiao Yun raised the teacup and took a sip. The procuress hurriedly used a silk handkerchief to wipe the water stains on the gold.    

    

In her opinion, the water stains on the gold were such an eyesore and unbearable.    

    

The appearance of the gold also made everyone shut their mouths.    

    

Including Hai Qinghe.    

    

Five thousand taels of silver sounded like a lot, but in reality, it was also a lot!    

    

But if it was gold, then it would only cost fifty taels. If it was in the black market, then it would only need thirty taels of silver.    

    

As for the gold bar in Xiao Yun's hand, five taels of gold meant fifty taels of silver!    

    

Hai Qinghe smiled bitterly and sighed. He said with some emotion, "Young master, I have never seen anyone carrying so much gold with them. Young master is indeed a distinguished guest!"    

    

Xiao Yun waved his hand and said, "What's the big deal? These gold were originally meant to be used for expenses, but he didn't expect that there would be another auction. He had planned to make up for it, but now it seemed that it wasn't necessary. "    

    

The two of them were talking.    

    

Leng Yueling and Tuoba Tian'er had already finished bathing and came out.    

    

When they were showering, they slept because it was too comfortable.    

    

Now that they had finished eating and changed their clothes, they used the incense to dry their hair and tidied their appearance. Only then did they remember that Xiao Yun was still there, so they came out to look for him.    

    

However, they saw Xiao Yun sitting there to participate in the auction.    

    

Leng Yueling directly returned to her room and took the seemingly worn-out box.    

    

Only then did she come to Xiao Yun's side.    

    

The moment the two women appeared, the eyes of the surrounding people lit up.    

    

Even the brothel keeper was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.    

    

This... I knew that these two were definitely beauties, but I didn't think that after bathing and changing clothes, they would actually change so much. Both of them are rare beauties in the human world!    

    

Even one of the young women, Tuoba Tian'er, was wearing a face cloth that covered most of her face.    

    

But that feeling of immortal Qi drifting was also shocking enough.    

    

Fortunately, she had seen a lot of things. She smiled lightly at the two beauties and quickly stood up to continue serving Xiao Yun.    

    

Among the other bidders, other than two or three pairs of eyes that couldn't be retracted, the others had also seen a lot of things. After watching for a while, they turned their heads around and once again placed their attention on the auction.    

    

Currently, it was still Xiao Yun bidding. If no one else shouted out a higher price, this auction item would belong to Xiao Yun.    

    

And just as everyone turned their eyes away, Leng Yueling placed the box on the table.    

    

Bang!    

    

Then she opened it.    

    

He said, "The money has been brought. If it's not enough... should we inform those people and ask them to prepare more money?"    

    

A simple sentence attracted everyone's attention once again.    

    

Xiao Yun nodded and shook his head. He said, "It seems that we don't need it for the time being. The money we brought should be enough."    

    

As he spoke, he took out all the gold bars and gold notes from the box.    

    

Ten thousand taels!    

    

Even though Xiao Yun had spent a lot of money after coming here, it was not a good idea to spend so much money.    

    

But compared to his total of ten thousand taels of gold, it was not worth mentioning.    

    

When the money was placed on the table, everyone's expression became somewhat unnatural.    

    

How much money was needed to have so much money? To easily take out so much money?    

    

There was always a theory in this world. No matter which country or era it was, it would always be the same.    

    

It's "the difference between assets and cash".    

    

No matter how much wealth a person has, most of his wealth is placed on fixed assets or similar things.    

    

It was said that a person had millions of assets, but if he were to take out 100,000 at once, it would be a difficult problem for him.    

    

This world was even more so.    

    

Rich families would invest in real estate as long as they had a bit of money. There were also some shops and the like. In any case, if they really existed at home and waited for the rusty copper coins to appear, it was really not much compared to the wealth he had.    

    

And a person who could take out ten thousand taels of gold, how big would his property be?!    

    

The people present did not dare to imagine it.    

    

However, there were also people who thought of another possibility.    

    

There was another type of person who had more cash than fixed assets. It was not because he did not want to, but because it was very difficult for his cash to be converted into fixed assets. Whether it was to protect the value or to form an industry, it was not possible.    

    

These people were the heroes of the Jianghu!    

    

To put it bluntly, they were criminals.    

    

Therefore, when some people saw Xiao Yun's wealth, they couldn't help but be moved.    

    

This guy in ragged clothes, unkempt hair, and dirty face, who was reeking all over, could it be that he was some strange guest of the Jianghu?    

    

If that was the case, they could find an excuse to seize him, and then directly confiscate his wealth...    

    

Ten thousand taels of gold, that was a terrifying wealth that no one could resist.    

    

Even the ruler of a country could not avoid it.    

    

There was no need to say anything else.    

    

If the king of Qin Country knew that Xiao Yun spent so much money in other countries, it was likely that he would personally lead the army and capture Xiao Yun. After which, he would think of a reason to covet his ten thousand taels of gold!    

    

With so much money, there were simply too many things that he could do.    

    

Tuoba Tian'er also felt helpless.    

    

She had seen people who liked to show off.    

    

But she had never seen someone like Xiao Yun who liked showing off so much.    

    

Who wouldn't be jealous when they saw this fortune?    

    

While they were jealous, they couldn't help but worry.    

    

If Xiao Yun really started to bid crazily, what else could they do?    

    

This money was enough to buy everything!    

    

Hai Qinghe said with a bitter smile, "So young master came prepared. I was reckless. I apologize to young master for what I said earlier."    

    

Xiao Yun waved his hand and said, "There's no need to apologize, but what you said was wrong. I didn't come prepared. I just happened to pass by and bumped into such a lively scene. I just want to get involved. After all, I am in this position. If I don't show any signs of it, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Smoke Cloud House? "    

    

When the procuress heard this, she was filled with gratitude.    

    

That's right.    

    

She had accompanied him personally, and the treatment she received was the highest standard in Smoke Cloud House. At this moment, she even allowed Xiao Yun to sit on the main seat. If Xiao Yun didn't bid for the entire auction, as the manager of the brothel, she would surely be rolled in the eyes.    

    

Hai Qinghe laughed, but didn't say whether he believed her or not.    

    

Actually, he probably would not believe it.    

    

After all, only the relevant personnel knew what was inside the box. If they accidentally bumped into it and didn't even know what it was, they would directly bid for it. This kind of thing... Anyway, he had never seen it before.    

    

It was precisely because Xiao Yun took out so much money at once.    

    

That was why the person who had wanted to increase the price once again and strive to get the item now hesitated.    

    

It was the three men in black.    

    

The leader of the men in black, who was sitting on the chair, narrowed his eyes at Xiao Yun and then looked at the box on the table.    

    

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Six thousand taels!"    

    

He added one thousand taels at a time.    

    

This not only surprised Xiao Yun, but also everyone present.    

    

After all, in their opinion, the things in the box did not seem to be worth that much.    

    

However, when they thought about how this fellow had suddenly increased the price by a lot and bought the first item, everyone felt somewhat relieved.    

    

It seemed that it was a noble young master who had appeared out of nowhere and was easily swayed by his emotions.    

    

Now that Xiao Yun had forced his anger out, he wanted to bid for it.    

    

Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look at him. After that, he said in a light tone, "Then ten thousand taels."    

    

Ten thousand taels of silver and one hundred taels of gold. It was still the price that Xiao Yun did not care about.    

    

However, in the eyes of the others, this Xiao Yun had obviously been provoked.    

    

Everyone thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.    

    

He had money, and he had money.    

    

After a round of bidding, he didn't say anything.    

    

Now that he liked one, no matter what the reason was, the other party had made a bid and offered a price that most people didn't dare to think of. It was obvious what he meant.    

    

That was, "I want this item. Everyone, give me some face and don't fight for it."    

    

However, this black-robed person actually didn't want to fight for it at all, and even wanted to fight for it.    

    

What should we do now?    

    

It was impossible to back down now, right?    

    

The group of people looked at the three men in black as if they were watching a show.    

    

There was always a hint of schadenfreude.    

    

The man in black took a deep breath and was about to raise his hand.    

    

A man in black beside him immediately bent down and whispered something into his ear.    

    

He didn't know what he had said, but the man in black was angry.    

    

He suddenly turned around and slapped the man's face!    

    

"Is this something you can do?!"    

    

The man who was slapped immediately lowered his head. He didn't even dare to cover his hot cheeks with his hands.    

    

The black-robed man took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and turned to look at Xiao Yun.    

    

Just as Xiao Yun thought that this guy was threatening or putting his life on the line, he suddenly stood up and solemnly cupped his hands towards Xiao Yun.    

    

"Young master, this item is extremely important to us. I hope young master can give us some face. We will remember this favor."    

    

“ Oh?"    

    

Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows and said with a mocking expression, "The bidder wins the auction. We can't discuss this behind our backs. If not, how can we let this merchant profit? What is the meaning of this auction? "    

    

The black-robed man said again, "What Young Master said makes sense. It's just that... it's just that we came out in a hurry this time and really didn't have enough money. If credit is allowed here, it wouldn't be so troublesome. But... the money we brought this time is only enough for us to bid once more. If young master offers again, we won't be able to do anything about it. This time, we bid... We will also use everything we have, please give us face, young master. We will definitely repay you for your kindness in the future!"    

    

Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes and suddenly sneered.    

    

It was as if he had seen through their tricks.    

    

He waved his hand and said, "Auction is an auction, the rules cannot be broken."    

    

"This young master..."    

    

The black-robed man gritted his teeth.    

    

Hai Qinghe, who was on the stage, was also somewhat unhappy.    

    

What the hell?    

    

The auction was based on one's own ability. With the black-robed man doing this, he might earn a lot less, but the key was that he broke the rules.    

    

He immediately coughed twice and said, "If there is no higher price, this item will belong to this young master in the main seat..."    

    

"Wait!"    

    

The black-robed man hurriedly said, "We bid 10,893 silver taels!"    

    

After saying this, he stared at Xiao Yun with a nervous expression.    

    

Xiao Yun sneered once again.    

    

Then he said, "I can't remember. I'll add one or two more."    

    

The face of the black-robed man instantly turned ashen.
