Chapter 99.1: Top Quality Goods & The Princess
This was a room that was roughly two hundred square meters in surface area, and the decorations were as posh and extravagant as they could be. There were exotic wood and jade stones, along with other furniture and decorative items that people could tell with one look were highly valuable. The ornaments around the room were filled with garishness, yet they gave off a feeling of elegance that one simply couldnt help but praise.
This was inside the first auction hall of the great Starlight Auction, in the seventh room, and it was ostentatious.
The entire room was rectangular, and the longer side of the wall was crystal clear with a radiant white hue. This was the only wall without a single decorative element.
The sprawling sofa was made from the skin of an unknown beast, and the long white fur was incredibly soft and tender. Anyone sitting on the sofa would enjoy the comfortable feeling of sinking into the whole thing, and yet there was enough support.
The sofa was large enough to accommodate twelve people. There were also all kinds of refreshments and condiments laid out on the jade table stand at the side. Huo Yuhao quickly realized that he had never even seen the things laid out on the table before, not even a single kind of fruit.
Everybody was just comfortably spreading out on the long sofa. Qing Ya, the auctioneer, and the two other young girls clad in flowing golden dresses stayed back. Qing Ya was standing by the side of the sofa and grinned as she said, I will explain the rules of our top-ranked auction.
As she spoke, she signaled to the two young girls beside her.
One of the girls stepped over to the smooth wall and tapped lightly on its surface. Instantly, a layer of gentle light started to radiate from the entire wall, which gradually became stronger until the entire wall eventually transformed into an enormous screen.
All this fell into Huo Yuhaos eyes as he turned towards He Caitou with an astonished look. He Caitou was the first to speak as he couldnt help but ask, Is this a soul tool?
Qing Ya nodded her head and replied, This is a custom-made soul light screen that we specially obtained from the Sun Moon Empire. It can display images via an esoteric method, but its formation arrays are not activated by soul power instead, theyre activated by a kind of ore from the Sun Moon Empire.
It wasnt just Huo Yuhao and He Caitou who reacted in shock at her statement the other members of Shrek shared the same confoundment.
What did using ores to activate soul tools suggest? It implied that soul engineers no longer needed to expend any soul power to use soul tools! The value of this to the world of soul tools was simply too great.
Qing Ya was adept at reading peoples emotions, and it was only natural that she picked up on the befuddlement from her audience, because she quickly tried to explain. Dont be too hasty everyone, and wait for me to finish my explanation. Even though this light-directing screen is activated by ore, this kind of ore emanates an extremely weak and gentle energy, and theres no way it can activate offensive or defensive soul tools. All it can do is carry out the lighter tasks of weak soul tools.
Qing Ya gave a most logical and sensible explanation, but the confusion and bewilderment in the hearts of her audience had not been fully dispelled yet.
