Shen Ao was naturally beaming with joy after breaking through to the HuaJin stage. Aiyaya, it wasn't easy. After a month of hard work, he finally broke through.
"Congratulations to the player for killing a HuaJin Stage Level 4 expert. You have been rewarded with 430 points.”
Hah! A fellow at the HuaJin stage was rewarded with more than 400 points. So rich! One must know that the highest point a person at the peak of the Bright Jin stage could obtain was 99 points.
After earning so many points, Shen Ao was no longer stingy. He immediately exchanged for 20 bullets. He gave each of the guys lying on the ground a bullet.
Among these people, there were a few who were in the light strength stage, while the rest were in the dark strength stage. In total, he had more than 500 points.
In this way, he had obtained 2030 points previously, plus these 930 points. He had almost broken through the 3000 points barrier!
"I know my painting. Thank you for saving me.”The red-robed woman happily stepped forward to express her gratitude.
"Yes, why are they chasing you?”Shen Ao sized up the beauty in front of him and smiled. Obviously, he was up to no good.
"I was originally a sword lady of Jade View City's Sword Dance Tower. When I returned home to visit my family, I didn't expect that my house would be robbed by these bandits…Those bandits even tried to kidnap me. " Fortunately, benefactor saved us. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable…" At this point, Zhi Hua was already sobbing, her beautiful face covered in tears.
"Cough cough, it's not cheap for me to save someone. Since I saved your life, shouldn't you repay me?”Shen Ao teased like a beast in human clothing.
Hearing Shen Ao's words, Zhi Hua was stunned and dumbfounded. Heavens! Did I just leave the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den?
"Benefactor, you…you…how do you want me to repay you?”
"One price, one hundred thousand gold taels." Shen Ao raised a finger.
Faced with Shen Ao's exorbitant demand, Zhi Hua almost spat out blood from her chest. A hundred thousand taels? Or gold? Kill me!
"No money? It's fine if you don't have money. It just so happens that I lack a maid to wash my clothes and cook. You can follow me and slowly pay off your debts. Of course, I'll pay you. How about one tael of silver a month?"
Looking at Shen Ao's sneaky smile, Zhi Hua wished she could rush up and bite him to death. A hundred taels of silver was only worth one tael of gold. In other words, he would only be able to repay one tael of gold in ten years. How many years would it take to pay off one hundred thousand gold taels?
As the Sword Maiden of the Sword Dance Tower, Zhi Hua could receive dozens of taels of silver for every sword dance she performed. With her looks, this kind of remuneration was considered low. This bastard only gave me one tael of silver per month?
Her chest heaved up and down several times, and Zhi Hua fainted from anger.
The gold, silver, and jewelry that Shen Ao had plundered in the secret cave had all been exchanged for gold notes. In total, it was about 200,000 taels. After a month of 'serving justice,' he had collected over 300,000 gold taels. After all, which one of those evil villains wasn't filthy rich?
Therefore, asking Zhi Hua for 100,000 taels was not a lot for him.
As for Zhi Hua, she naturally hated her master to the core. However, this guy's martial arts were so powerful. Didn't you see that those dozen bandits were dealt with in the blink of an eye? She had no choice but to become Shen Ao's personal maid.
Right now, the two of them were staying in the most luxurious restaurant in Fragrant Sky city. One night in the Sky No. 1 room cost a hundred taels of silver. Ordinary people really couldn't afford such an expensive room.
In his previous life, Shen Ao was a billionaire. When it came to enjoyment, no one was better than him. Now that he had a huge amount of wealth in his hands, he naturally would not be stingy. He didn't choose the best, but the most expensive. He was talking about a prodigal like him.
Zhi Hua had followed her master to Tian Xiang City and had been staying in the first room of the restaurant for three days. In the past three days, Zhi Hua's initial shock had gradually turned into numbness. She was already used to it. Zhi Hua had seen many rich people in the Sword Dance House. However, he had never seen a fellow who used high-quality Xuan paper to wipe his hands after washing his hands. One had to know that this kind of high-grade Xuan paper cost two taels of silver per piece.
Apart from that, this master chose the most expensive restaurant in Tian Xiang City for his three meals a day. The Deep Sea Codfish and Snow Mountain Jade Hare that were worth a hundred taels of gold each. In the past three days, he had eaten no less than five times. Including the tea that the master drank, he chose the Dragon Whisker Ginseng Leaf and Tianshan Snow Tea. The clothes he changed into were made of natural silk.
No matter how shocked Zhi Hua was, Shen Ao still did what he wanted. He wasn't trying to show off his wealth, but he was using the high-quality Xuan paper as an example. On Earth, it couldn't even compare to ordinary toilet paper. As for food, Shen Ao was already sick of eating bird's nest and shark's fin back on Earth. Only wild animals like the Snow Mountain Jade Rabbit could be tasted. As for the Heavenly Silkworm Silk, the main reason was that it was comfortable to wear on the body.
"When will the auction begin?" In the first room, Shen Ao was sitting leisurely on a chair with a cotton blanket. He had a cigarette in his hand. One had to admit that the exchange system was awesome. A treasure like the Zhonghua cigarette only cost 1 point. Shen Ao would not be stingy with this.
"Soon, the auction will begin in an hour. Master." Zhi Hua pursed her lips and stood at the side in a very unhappy manner. At first, Zhi Hua thought that this master was greedy for her beauty. However, after spending three days together, she realized that other than serving him food and lodging, her master did not have any excessive requests. In addition, these few days, following this master to eat and drink well was much more comfortable than staying in the Sword Dance Tower. Hence, he didn't think about how to escape.
"Here's a five thousand gold note. Go to the jewelry shop and pick out the most beautiful jewelry. Remember, don't ask for the best, but ask for the most expensive.”Shen Ao stretched out his hand and handed over a gold note worth five thousand taels.
Zhi Hua rolled her eyes. She was already used to it.
"Are you buying it for Master, Master, and your junior sisters?”
"Yes, after the auction ends, we should return to the mountain. Naturally, he had to prepare some gifts for them. You can choose one as well."
"It won't be deducted from my salary, right?”Zhi Hua said warily.
"What are you thinking? This is for you." Shen Ao waved his hand nonchalantly and closed his eyes lazily to rest. As the saying went, he stole half a day of leisure. Shen Ao was the kind of lazy person by nature. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to increase his self-defense ability as soon as possible, he wouldn't have gone around killing people to earn points. Therefore, whenever he had free time, he liked to relax like this.
After spending 2500 points to exchange for the first three moves of Six Pulses Divine Sword, Shen Ao's cultivation base had broken through to the HuaJin stage. Coupled with his elegant Subtle Steps, he was able to use the three moves of Six Pulses Divine Sword. With his current strength, he was much more powerful than the sect leaders of ordinary sects. Even in the world of martial artists, he could be considered a rare expert.
The auction house was not far from the restaurant Shen Ao was staying in. This time, Shen Ao planned to spend all the hundreds of thousands of stolen money. Gold notes were useless after returning to the mountain gate. He might as well buy some herbs and spirit fruits. Whether it was to take them back to plant or refine them into pills to consume, they were both good choices. In addition, Shen Ao also wanted to see if there were any treasures in the auction that could be exchanged for points. If the price was right, he would buy it.
Sigh, whether it was the last three moves of the Six Pulses Divine Sword or the dozens of visualization pictures after the Northern Dark Divine Technique. Those required points to exchange. Points, points, what Shen Ao lacked the most at the moment.
In addition to the items he was going to buy at the auction, Shen Ao had also bought many martial arts manuals in the past three days. Of course, these martial arts manuals were all ordinary. In this world where martial arts were revered by everyone, it was still easy to see ordinary martial arts secret manuals. Therefore, as long as it reached the minimum amount that the system could take back, Shen Ao would spend money to buy it.
In the end, 120,000 gold taels had bought Shen Ao more than 100 martial arts manuals. The lowest purchase price of these martial arts manuals was 10 points, and the highest was 300 points. One had to know that the recycling price was two-thirds lower. In other words, if he bought it from the exchange interface, he would have to spend 900 points. This was already one of the most valuable martial arts manuals among the first class of exchange items.
In the beginning, Shen Ao had planned to copy the martial arts manual and practice it when he saw how valuable it was. However, the result was that even basic cultivation required ten years of effort. Although this martial art had extraordinary power after being cultivated, it took too long. Therefore, he didn't even think about it and directly recycled it.
Shen Ao was not in a hurry to collect all the martial arts manuals. During these three days, he would take out a book and flip through it whenever he was free to understand the martial arts system of this world. Shen Ao was a person who loved to mess around. He was still thinking of using these 100 martial arts secret manuals as reference to create his own cultivation technique.
After resting in the restaurant for an hour, Zhi Hua returned to inform Shen Ao that the auction had begun. Hence, the two of them checked out of the guest room and headed straight for the auction venue.
Two days earlier, Shen Ao had booked a VIP room at the auction venue. The deposit wasn't very expensive. It was only 100,000 gold taels. Generally speaking, those who could take out so much money were definitely not ordinary people. Of course, they would be treated well by the auction house.
With the VIP room, Shen Ao and his servant did not have to be like the others, crowding in the crowded hall.
At this moment, the auctioneer on the auction stage began to excitedly introduce one item after another. Under the deliberate exaggeration of the auctioneer, some of the originally ordinary auction items were exaggerated to the point that they were in the sky. If one didn't have good eyesight, they might have been fooled.
Shen Ao was naturally not stumped by such a question. Shen Ao would use the Dream System to appraise the price of each item when it was pushed onto the stage. If the price was right, he would only raise the sign.
"The next item up for auction is a piece of gold quality black iron. I believe everyone knows that dark iron is also divided into grades. Among them, copper was the worst, silver was better, and gold was the best. All weapons forged from gold quality black iron were divine weapons. This piece of gold quality dark iron weighed three catties, and the starting price was ten thousand gold taels. Each increment must not be lower than 500 gold taels.”
"11,000 taels."
"12,000 taels."
"10,000…"
After the auctioneer finished his introduction, the people in the hall began to bid one after another. Shen Ao used the Dream System to check the value of the gold quality black iron and was surprised to find that it was worth 400 points. Shen Ao was pleasantly surprised. 400 points, tsk tsk, this was the reward for killing a level 4 warrior of the HuaJin stage.
Shen Ao did not hesitate and immediately raised his bidding board.
"Heavens, the guest in VIP room number three has bid a hundred thousand gold taels. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher?”The auctioneer was overjoyed and exclaimed.
Zhi Hua, who was standing beside Shen Ao, saw her master raise the price from 20,000 gold taels to 100,000 gold taels. She couldn't help but grit her teeth. Master, no matter how rich you are, you can't throw it away like this, right?
There was a reason why Shen Ao was willing to pay such a high price. The reason was simple. In the Dream Exchange System, 10 points could be exchanged for a ton of gold. With a cheat like the system, would he be short of money? What kind of joke was this?
"One hundred thousand going once, one hundred thousand going twice, one hundred thousand going thrice.”As the auctioneer hammered the hammer, the entire place was in an uproar. Everyone looked at VIP room number three in surprise. Tsk tsk, which guest is so rich?
Seeing that the bid was successful, Shen Ao retracted his gaze. He took a sip of tea from the white jade cup in his left hand and continued to read a martial arts manual in his right hand. From the beginning to the end, his expression did not change at all. It was like buying a cabbage.
Zhi Hua clenched her fists speechlessly. She was completely speechless about her master.
After that, two more rare treasures were auctioned off. If Shen Ao took a fancy to it, he would immediately bid 100,000 yuan. It was awe-inspiring and domineering, shocking all the guests who were attending the auction. This old man wasn't spending money. He was clearly burning money.
Halfway through the auction, an oval-shaped jade appeared on the auction stage. The auctioneer's introduction of this jade was that its origin was unknown, and its function was unknown. He only knew that even the sharpest divine weapon could not break this jade.
Curious, Shen Ao used the system to check the price. The next second, he was shocked!
"After appraisal, low-grade spirit stone, recycling price…4000 points.”
