Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 390 Mingdu Grand Auction House!

"Well, the aura of a hundred thousand year soul beast embryo is really powerful!"

Jing Hongchen, the leader of Mingde Hall, looked at the Conferred God Platform in front of him, his eyes shone with shrewd light.

"But who is this inner ghost? There are only a few people who can make the God Conferring Platform."

As the best among ninth-level soul tools, not every ninth-level soul engineer can make a ninth-level soul tool like the Conferred God Platform.

"Forget it, never mind, just let the other side investigate the mole's matter. I hope the two of them can learn something from Shrek."

Jing Hongchen shook his head, pressed his palm in the air, and the tray carrying the Conferred God Platform slowly disappeared into the room with a sound of mechanical rotation.

Afterwards, Jing Hongchen slowly walked out of the room and went to several top-secret laboratories in Mingde Hall.

As the leader of Mingde Hall, he also has to participate in the research and development of some relatively powerful soul tools.

On the other side, with the full cooperation of Ming Jiang and Xuan Ziwen, within a month, a set of eighth-level soul guidance armor was finally formed!

He is a researcher!
"Well, let me give it a try and see how much strength this thing can improve!"

At level eight, he would soon be out of use.

Ming Jiang nodded.

Immediately afterwards, as if being pulled by some kind of force, the golden armor flew out of the metal hanger and locked onto Ming Jiang's body at an extremely fast speed.

"Try?"

Or perhaps, the improvement of this armor is limited to this level.

However, this seems to consume a lot of soul power. Compared with using soul skills by oneself, the soul power flows on this suit of armor, resulting in a bit more waste of soul power.

After the stability test, Ming Jiang took back his soul power, closed the core array, and put away the golden armor.

Keng!
Clang!
Some harsh metal collision sounds were heard, and several large modules of the golden armor instantly fit perfectly with Ming Jiang's body.

He didn't use soul skills in this punch, but the power still exceeded the ninety-level upper limit of the strength tester!

Mingjiang felt every detail of the armor and elaborated on the shortcomings he found.

The most important thing now is to test the stability and amplification strength of this golden armor!

Looking at the strength tester with chaotic values ​​in front of him, Ming Jiang was very satisfied.

After the test, Ming Jiang put away his armor and put his arm around Xuan Ziwen's shoulders with a smile.

"Come!"

"Well, the stability at startup is pretty good. The battle armor array is connected successfully. The soul power transmission in the soul channel is a little slow. It needs to be improved. The speed of flowing metal is not fast enough. Once it encounters the agility attack system soul, this speed Master, maybe the metal was not even covering the whole body before it was attacked."

In just one breath, these flowing metal substances had covered Mingjiang's whole body, and after solidification formed a hard protective armor!

Xuan Ziwen looked at Ming Jiang and said softly.

After the strength test, a reflex test was also conducted.

Soon, some metal substance that looked like flowing mercury poured out of the armor parts on the chest.

Xuan Ziwen looked at Ming Jiang and said excitedly.

"Lao Xuan, don't be anxious. If there are any problems, we will slowly improve them."

After a few minutes, Ming Jiang's voice stopped.

The next moment, he raised his palm slightly, and his soul power surged in the space.

No matter what the reason is, Ming Jiang feels that this armor is just a tool for testing and transition.

As for himself, his martial spirit is not suitable for using soul guidance armor for close combat.

Xuan Ziwen's face was a little disappointed, his brows were furrowed and his eyes were full of thinking.

It's not that easy to make an eighth-level soul guide armor perfect.

"Use the soul power to let the flowing memory metal at the connection extend and fuse!"

This is the first time he has made this kind of eighth-level soul guidance armor series soul guidance device. If this technology can be perfected and mass-produced, then this may become a cross-generational breakthrough in the future soul master and soul master world. improvement!
Of course, it's too early to tell.

Not much of an improvement.

When this armor was designed, it was designed based on Mingjiang's physical condition and strength, striving to maximize Mingjiang's strength.

Xuan Ziwen took his notebook and listened and recorded, writing down some of his ideas for improvement from time to time.

Ming Jiang closed his eyes slightly and urged his soul power to enter the core array located on his chest.

With a soft drink, the golden armor placed on the metal hanger next to the soul guidance console slowly trembled.

boom!
The most direct way to test combat effectiveness is to directly deliver a full blow to see the strength.

"Oh, the effect doesn't look very obvious. Let me think about it again."

These metal substances extended along Ming Jiang's body towards his limbs and fused with each other.

Ming Jiang felt that this might be because he had not yet had a long period of running-in with this suit of armor.

"That's about it. Generally speaking, it's pretty stable. Next, we need to test the power of this thing. Let's go to the testing laboratory and have a look!"

After all, this is just an attempt. For them, this golden armor is definitely not the final product and will require a period of research.

"Ah."

Xuan Ziwen nodded, but the thinking in his eyes still did not go away.

As a pure researcher, when a problem arises, he will immediately think of solutions.

"Mingjiang, are you there?"

Ming Jiang was about to take Xuan Ziwen back when he sensed the fluctuation of soul power from the sound-transmitting soul guide he carried with him.

Jing Hongchen's voice sounded inside.

"Master, I'm here, what's wrong? Is there anything you can do?"

Ming Jiang picked up the sound-transmitting soul guide like a mobile phone and said softly.

Shrek Academy also has sound-transmitting soul tools, but as Mingde Hall is the highest-level palace in the world of soul tools, the sound-transmitting soul tools used by Shrek are naturally different.

The sound-transmitting soul guide in Ming Jiang's hand is not only small and convenient, and can be carried anywhere, but also has a range that can cover the entire Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

"There are several top auctions going to be held in Mingdu. I got a few invitations here. Do you want to come?"

Jing Hongchen’s voice sounded again.

When Ming Jiang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and his voice was a little excited.

"Top auction? What good stuff is there?"

Jing Hongchen smiled and said: "The top auctions that can send invitations to me are at least the auctions of seventh- and eighth-level soul guides, and there may even be ninth-level soul guides, and maybe some other more precious things. ”

Hearing this, Ming Jiang's face became even more excited, but he seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"Master, I may not have that much money."

His net worth is actually quite wealthy. Although he has not calculated it carefully over the years, he should have tens of millions of gold soul coins.

However, he put most of the money with Zhang Lexuan, and he only had a few million gold soul coins here.

Although these millions of gold soul coins are a lot, if you really come across something great, it won't be enough.

You know, with Ming Jiang's current strength and vision, the soul guidance device that interests him is at least level eight!

An eighth-level soul guide can easily cost millions!
A level nine soul guide may cost tens of millions, or even tens of millions!

Of course, the most important thing is that he cannot show too many assets.

Xuan Ziwen on the side heard Ming Jiang's words, patted Ming Jiang on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Go ahead. If you are short of money, I can lend it to you. After so many years in Mingde Hall, I still have some savings."

"Is Researcher Xuan Ziwen here too? Then you can come too. As for the money issue, you don't have to worry about it. It's eight o'clock in the evening at the entrance of the Mingdu Auction House. Don't be late."

Jing Hongchen warned and hung up the sound-transmitting soul guide.

The reason why he gave this special warning was because he was also a soul master and he knew that when soul masters studied things, they would subconsciously ignore many things.

He didn't want to be let go.

"Let's go, Lao Xuan, go back and wash it. We have been studying this thing for a month. If you wear this, I'm afraid you will be disliked by the staff of the Mingdu auction house."

Ming Jiang teased as he and Xuan Ziwen walked towards the shower area of ​​Mingde Hall.

Since the storage soul guide was created, things like clothes are basically placed in the storage soul guide for convenience.

Of course, there are also some girls who like to put their clothes in the cabinet for no other reason than to please the eyes.

After taking a bath, the two of them put on handsome clothes and walked out of Mingde Hall.

When the two of them came out, the setting sun had swallowed up the last trace of red on the horizon, and the stars and silver moon were already hanging high in the sky.

Looking at the bright silver moon in the sky, Ming Jiang seemed to see a beautiful and gentle face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

I didn't quite understand it when I was studying in the past, but as time goes by and I grow up, I can understand it more and more.

With the light of the silver moon and the bright lights in Mingdu, Ming Jiang and Xuan Ziwen walked step by step towards the location of the Mingdu auction house.

Xuan Ziwen looked a little absent-minded. He was holding a notebook in his hand and writing and drawing on it with a pen, looking very serious.

This move attracted frequent side glances from the passers-by around him. More passers-by looked at Xuan Ziwen than at the Huaichun girl and young woman at Mingjiang.

Of course, these looks towards Xuan Ziwen were not very friendly.

Everyone is happily shopping, but you are holding a notebook and writing and drawing, pretending to be a scholar!
Xuan Ziwen didn't know, and even if he knew, he probably wouldn't say anything.

People are inherently different.

Just like Mingjiang, just take a walk on the street and enjoy the smell of fireworks in a relaxed way.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the entrance of Mingdu Auction House.

To be honest, Ming Jiang has been in Mingdu for a long time, almost two years in total, but he has never been to the Mingdu auction house.

"This auction house"

Mingjiang stood near the Mingdu Grand Auction House, looking at this magnificent building, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Compared with the splendor of the Starlight Auction House of the Star Luo Empire that I have visited, the Mingdu Auction House is more like a crystallization of technology.

The building, which is more than ten meters high, covers an area at least twice that of the Starlight Auction House of the Star Luo Empire!
And starting from the huge metal soul guidance door, the entire external landscape of the auction house is almost inseparable from the elements of the soul guidance device. The entire Mingdu Grand Auction House looks like a huge soul guidance device. The magnificent soul guidance device fully demonstrates the aesthetics of the soul guidance device.

"The Mingdu Grand Auction House is the top auction house in Mingdu. Its scale and strength are absolutely top-notch in the entire Douluo Continent. Just the establishment of this auction house is no less complex than a nine-piece auction house. The production of super soul guide."

Xuan Ziwen said in a deep voice.

He is somewhat familiar with this place and has been here several times.

Of course, with the depth of his wallet, there was no way he could get first-class goodies at an auction of this level.

Those are all the contenders for ninth-level soul masters.

"Ah."

Ming Jiang nodded.

The difference between a country dominated by soul masters and a country dominated by soul masters is really big.

Without an invitation letter, the two of them could only sit and wait at a small stall near the Mingdu auction house.

Xuan Ziwen ordered a cup of his favorite milk tea. The sweet taste and refreshing effect made Xuan Ziwen have a cup of it almost every day.

"Ah~ the person who invented this refreshing milk tea is really a genius!"

Xuan Ziwen sighed, and then he continued to open the notebook in his hand and began to study it energetically.

Ming Jiang smiled slightly after listening to Xuan Ziwen's words.

He did not expect that the milk tea business could reach Mingdu so quickly.

While Xuan Ziwen was studying something, Ming Jiang took out a pocket watch and took a look.

Seven fifty, ten minutes to go.

Ming Jiang didn't waste it. Ten minutes was enough for his soul power to circulate in his body for a whole week.

The training time passed very quickly. When Mingjiang finished his soul power operation for a week, ten minutes passed quietly.

He opened his eyes and looked towards the door of the auction house.

Compared with the situation where there were not many people just now, at the entrance of the auction house now, nobles in gorgeous dresses are walking up the steps of the big auction house step by step, showing their invitation letters to the attendants at the door, and then bringing With almost instinctive pride, he walked into the auction house with his head held high.

Ming Jiang could understand that these people delayed coming back until the time was almost up, probably to show off their status.

Just like the items in this auction, the later they appear, the more final and noble they are.

Ming Jiang was thinking this, but his eyes saw a gorgeous carriage slowly approaching from a distance.

Yes, carriage.

If the Sun Moon Empire and several other countries on the Douluo Continent have something in common in life, then carriages should be one of them.

It's not that the Sun and Moon Empire doesn't have the ability to develop things like soul-guided cars, but it's because it hasn't conducted research in this area.

For now, even the Sun and Moon Empire is unable to truly democratize soul guidance device technology for civilians.

When it comes to soul guidance devices, the Sun and Moon Empire prefers military research, which is an order from the royal family.

Seeing this gorgeous carriage approaching, Ming Jiang patted Xuan Ziwen beside him.

"The hall master is here, let's go."

After speaking, he waved his hand and left a gold soul coin on the table.

Sit here for a while, order two cups of milk tea, and ask for a gold soul coin! Prices in Mingdu are so expensive!
What? Is the milk tea from my family?

That's fine.

"Master Hongchen Hall, you are fine!"

"I wonder what auction item Hongchen Hall Master has taken a fancy to today?"

"Hall Master Hongchen just auctioned a treasure in the Star Luo Empire a few years ago. Do you still have the money to participate in the auction?"

"Master of Hongchen Hall."

As the leader of the Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen was naturally a very popular presence among the aristocratic circles of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Of course, some people flatter Jing Hongchen, while others are unhappy with him.

In such an upper class circle, even if Jing Hongchen is the master of Mingde Hall, he will still have conflicts with others. Not every noble in Mingdu will show his kindness to Jing Hongchen.

"You don't need to worry about Earl Carl whether I have money. You should worry about whether you have enough money."

Jing Hongchen didn't look down upon the aristocratic nobles who came up to him.

Count Karl wanted to say something more, but Jing Hongchen passed him directly and waved towards Ming Jiang and Xuan Ziwen who were walking over.

"Let's go, we have something good today."

After saying that, Jing Hongchen led Ming Jiang and Xuan Ziwen into the auction house, leaving only Earl Carl with a gloomy look!

"Isn't he the master of Mingde Hall? Why are you so arrogant?"

He snorted angrily, reached out and grabbed a celebrity beauty who was well-known throughout the Ming Dynasty. Regardless of her pained look, he grabbed a handful of her plump and soft parts and followed her into the auction house.

"Master, that was..."

Ming Jiang asked curiously.

To be honest, he had never seen anyone in Mingdu who dared to show off to Jing Hongchen.

Jing Hongchen glanced at Ming Jiang and said in a deep voice:
"That's a nobleman from a branch of the royal family and a dandy. Don't ask too much about him."

As he said that, Jing Hongchen glanced at the nobleman who was following not far behind him.

If this guy didn't have a royal background, I don't know how many times he would have died!
Ming Jiang nodded without speaking, but watched as he walked.

If the appearance of the Grand Auction House is very luxurious and the power of Soul Guidance Technology can be seen at a glance, then the things inside are further manifestations of Soul Guidance Technology.

Not to mention the lighting, in addition to the crystal lanterns inlaid with gems, this light can also project a guidance route on the walls on both sides to guide the distinguished guests to the auction venue.

Moreover, all the doors in the auction house are voice-activated.

In a corridor, as long as someone passes by, the door will open.

And this is something that everyone who comes to the auction can see.

As the leader of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen naturally would not bid in the auction hall like others. Those were minor nobles and were not qualified.

Ming Jiang and Xuan Ziwen followed Jing Hongchen to a private room. The main door of the private room was purple and gold, and the door frame was covered with rare metals. Ming Jiang even felt a faint fluctuation of soul power from the door!

This simple door is actually a soul guide!

Moreover, the level of this soul guide is at least level seven!

Even though Ming Jiang has experienced a lot over the years, he can't help but be a little stunned by the specifications of this auction house.

How rich is this Mingdu auction house! Use the seventh-level soul guide as a gatekeeper!

Besides this somewhat inhumane seventh-level soul guidance gate, the most eye-catching thing is the two girls kneeling on both sides of the door.

"Dignified guests please come in."

When Jing Hongchen came over with Ming Jiang and Xuan Ziwen, the two beautiful girls who were kneeling with their backs straight bent down at the same frequency, and slowly lowered their heads until they touched the floor. Extremely humble.

And when the heads of the two girls touched the floor, the soul guidance door with a level of seven or above slowly opened.

"This"

Ming Jiang looked at the scene in front of him and frowned instantly.

He doesn't think he is a good person, but he still feels a little uncomfortable when he sees this.

Jing Hongchen seemed to sense Ming Jiang's emotional changes. His eyes flickered slightly and he said softly:

"Go in first."

With that said, he strode directly into the box.

Ming Jiang and Xuan Ziwen followed.

Xuan Ziwen's face didn't look very good either. He had been to this auction house once before, but his status as an eighth-level soul mentor was obviously not enough to get a box in this auction house.

It wasn't until all three of them entered the box that the two girls kneeling at the door slowly raised their heads, and the soul guide door slowly closed, but they were still kneeling, as if they were supposed to be kneeling there.

"Is this your first time seeing this kind of thing?"

After the soul guidance door was closed, Jing Hongchen looked at Ming Jiang and said slowly.

In front of him, a large soul guidance screen that was two meters long and one meter five wide was slowly lighting up.

"Hmm. Why would they do that?"

Ming Jiang frowned, somewhat incomprehensible.

Just open the door and insist on doing this in such an insulting way. This is completely unnecessary!
Jing Hongchen heard Ming Jiang's question and smiled softly.

"Why do you do this? Xiao Jiang, the big auction house won't do anything meaningless."

Hearing this, Ming Jiang was stunned and asked:
"What's the point?"

Jing Hongchen picked up the rare fruits in the fruit plate and threw them to Ming Jiang and Xuan Ziwen, saying, "It doesn't make sense to us, but it doesn't necessarily matter to other people."

"Xiao Jiang, how did you feel when you first came in?"

Ming Jiang frowned and said: "The soul guidance door is very luxurious, even extravagant. It is too wasteful to use a seven-level soul guidance device for one box. And the way of opening the door is very uncomfortable."

Xuan Ziwen on the side also nodded in agreement.

Jing Hongchen said:

"Yes, it's wasteful and uncomfortable. In fact, I feel the same way, but there is no other way. Nobles must find some way to show their nobility. This soul guide door, the way to open the door, and this box are actually all A form of superiority that you don’t like and neither do I, but some people do.”

"You can see this form here now, which means that there are nobles who like it, or simply the people in charge of this auction house like this form, people like them."

Jing Hongchen sighed, and at this moment, the huge soul guidance screen in front of him gradually became clearer.
