I was startled. I didn't recognize this number. Who was in Beijing and how could he know my number?
Even my father didn't know my phone number. Only a few people close to me knew it, including He Yi, Murong Mingyue, Beiming Xue, Du Thirteen, Yamete, and a few others. Lin Yixin was one of them, but I didn't know which category to put her in. The rest of the book readers looked at it normally:).
"I am Lu Chen, and you are?"
"Oh, hello. Hehe, I am a female mage from the southernmost Ice Moon City of the nine tier cities of the China server. My ID is' Luo River God of the Capital '. I think, Falling Dust, you have heard of my name?"
I stilled. Indeed, I had heard of this ID. In the later stages of Spirit of Grief, Luo River God of the Capital had appeared as the number one female mage of the China server. She stood tall in Clear Breeze City and even fought against Candle Dragon led by Candlelight Shadow for almost a year. But later, Luo River God of the Capital retired, and Candlelight Shadow naturally covered the sky.
"Of course, who doesn't know Beauty Luo River God?"
I smiled and said, "Since you called me, it must be something important, right?"
"Yes!"
Luo River God of the Capital smiled. "You should know that a 2-star Outstanding high-level staff has appeared in Floating Ice City, right?
I think, hmm, in all of Floating Ice City, there are not more than a few people who can get this scepter. Also, the only high-level map that Floating Ice City has opened today is the Devil Sealing Tower. Dominating Heaven Blade is outside Dragonfall Lake, Wind Fantasy is grinding in the forest, Dominating Knight God and the others are following Dominating Heaven Blade, and Indigo Collar has not entered the Devil Sealing Tower. Using the elimination method, it seems that the only person who can get the Purgatory Scepter today, and with a four-character ID, is you, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand! "
I stilled. This woman was terrifying. Her intelligence might be comparable to Lin Yixin!
However, I was not too wary of Luo River God of the Capital because she was Candlelight Shadow's mortal enemy, and I was also Candlelight Shadow's mortal enemy. The enemy of my enemy was my friend.
Facing the girl's interrogation, I smiled and said frankly, "Yes, the Purgatory Scepter is mine. What, Beauty Luo, do you want to bid?"
Luo River God of the Capital chuckled. "Of course. I'm already Level 78, and I've been training alone in Ice Moon City. However, the staff I have is only a Level 65 Dark Gold – grade staff. Its stats are far inferior to the Purgatory Scepter. Therefore, I must obtain this Purgatory Scepter. Moreover, this staff will only be able to display its full power in my hands in the China server!"
I laughed. That's right, Luo River God of the Capital was also a member of the China server's CGL Hall of Fame, and she was ranked near the top. She was above Candle Dragon's number one mage, God's Dance. However, because she retired too early, she disappeared from people's sight. Now that Luo River God of the Capital had returned, great waves would be stirred in the distant Ice Moon City!
Also, Luo River God of the Capital was an extremely confident girl. Her record before retiring was glorious. Her win rate against Candle Dragon's number one mage, God's Dance, was as high as 77%. Her win rate against Candlelight Shadow was a terrifying 23%. Of course, this 23% seemed low, but if the opponent was Candlelight Shadow, then it was super high. Many people's win rate against Candlelight Shadow was 0%. Those with a 5% win rate were first-rate experts, and Luo River God of the Capital with a 23% win rate was a peak expert. All of this was because Candlelight Shadow was too strong!
"Falling Dust?"
"Yes."
"Can you cancel the auction for the Purgatory Scepter?
I am willing to pay a high price to buy it! "Luo River God of the Capital's voice was very soft, close to pleading.
I frowned and said, "It's not that I don't want to cancel the auction, but the auction house has a rule. If someone cancels an auction item without permission, especially a high-rank item that has already been announced, they will be severely punished. Not only will their Reputation be reduced, they will also be unable to use the auction system for 60 days. This is a loss I cannot afford. So, Hero Luo, come to Floating Ice City and participate in the auction yourself. I will cheer for you from the shadows..."
Luo River God of the Capital smiled helplessly. "You... cheer for me? Are you shouting for me to continue raising the price?"
"Haha, what are you saying..."
"Sigh, other book friends, read normally:!"
Luo River God of the Capital smiled. "Then forget it. It seems that I need to spend 5000 gold to buy a super city teleportation scroll to Floating Ice City. In any case, I must get this scepter. Even if someone else buys it, I will find a way to get it for myself!"
I shuddered. This kind of woman really could not be provoked. Her possessiveness was too strong!
"Alright, Falling Dust, that's it!"
Luo River God of the Capital smiled. "Ice Moon City and Floating Ice City are at opposite ends of the China server. I heard that you have rebuilt Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. This time, we look forward to working together against Candle Dragon!"
"Yes, good luck!"
"Yes, 8!"
… …
After I hung up, I raised my glass and took a sip of wine. He Yi had brought this wine from the workshop, and I heard that it cost several thousand renminbi per bottle. I felt that it was too extravagant and expensive, but He Yi told me that some leaders in the country would charge fifty thousand for a bottle of wine. Compared to them, I was practically living a simple life.
Come to think of it, this world is much more nonsensical than I had imagined.
Murong Mingyue asked with a smile, "Who called?"
"Luo River God of the Capital!"
"Oh?
This woman has come out of retirement again? "
"Yes!"
Murong Mingyue laughed softly. "Hehe, it seems that Heavenblessed in the China server is becoming more and more interesting. Lu Chen, your return, Beauty Lin's strong rise, Dominating Heaven Blade's hard work, and now Luo River God of the Capital has returned. Hehe, this time, I want to see how Candlelight Shadow will be like the sun at noon. Other readers, just watch normally:!"
I couldn't help but smile. "The future of the China server can be predicted. It won't be dominated by just one guild. Candle Dragon may be strong, but they aren't strong enough to command everyone. Also, I don't plan on working with Candle Dragon. From the moment I created Bloody Mercenaries, I had a plan!"
"What plan?" He Yi asked with a smile.
I clenched my fists and said seriously, "Before the Nation Wars start, I will erase Candle Dragon from the China server!"
"Hehe..."
He Yi laughed softly and gave me a look of praise.
Murong Mingyue said, "Why does this sound like a boast?"
I shook my head and smiled. "How can one achieve great things without ambition? Dare to think, dare to do. The further you see, the further you can go!"
"Yes yes, hurry and eat!"
… …
After stuffing, I drank some wine and felt a little dizzy. But I kept thinking about the two items in the auction house. I had to go back on time and witness the big day of getting rich!
I looked at the time. It was already 11 at night. In about half an hour, the auction for the Golden Scale Bow and the Purgatory Scepter would begin. It was not hard to imagine that the news of these two items would spread through the nine main cities of the China server. Many people would spend a fortune to buy super teleportation scrolls to come to Floating Ice City.
Outside the restaurant, the cold autumn wind blew. I felt much calmer.
He Yi stood next to me and looked into the distance. She said with a smile, "Tonight is so quiet. After we go back, are you going online?"
"Yes, to the auction house!"
"Okay, I'll go too!"
“OK！”
In the end, Murong Mingyue and Beiming Xue also insisted, so the entire workshop went.
Sitting in the car, I opened the window and the wind howled.
I sat in the back and looked at the stars. I said with a smile, "The situation in Heavenblessed is becoming more and more complicated. Interesting, experts from all walks of life are gathering. We must take this chance to make a name for ourselves and make Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls an epic guild!"
"Yes!"
He Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Right, our workshop's name hasn't been decided yet. How about 'Wind and Cloud Workshop', very imposing..."
My eyes lit up and said, "Wind and Cloud Workshop seems to have been registered by a workshop in Shanghai. We need to give it another name, 'Frost Cloud Workshop'. How about it?"
"Frost Cloud?
What does it mean? "He Yi asked with a smile.
I nodded. "Frost, it means coldness and unyielding. There is an ancient saying — frost is the reason why the heavens kill!
This also means killing intent. There is a saying in Qin Feng that White Dew is Frost. There is a poem written by a great person in the Jin Dynasty. The heart is like frost, the ambition is like the clouds. The heart is in awe, the ambition is lofty. This is the meaning of Frost Cloud. "
Murong Mingyue fiddled with the steering wheel and chuckled. "Alright, the name of the Frost Cloud workshop isn't bad at all. So how about it, Eve? Let's call it the Frost Cloud workshop, and I'll get someone to certify it later."
He Yi nodded and smiled. "Okay, I have no problems."
I looked out of the window and smiled.
He Yi looked at me and was surprised. "Why are you smiling?"
"Well... actually, there is another meaning to Frost Cloud..."
"Oh, what is it?" He Yi smiled, seemingly interested.
I looked at the night sky and thought for a moment. "In ancient times, there were four great whiteness — clouds in the sky, frost on the ground, and a beauty's butt, cabbage!"
"Fuck!"
The girls blushed. He Yi sat next to me and punched me. She said with a smile, "Brat, you are getting worse!"
Murong Mingyue said, "Maybe his nature is like this. Sigh, he met the wrong person!"
… …
I gave two meanings, and it seemed that the girls liked the latter one. So the workshop was officially named Frost Cloud Workshop. At least this proved that their skin was very white.
… …
When we returned to the workshop, it was already 11: 30 pm. In a few minutes, it would be the auction house's grand auction time. Everyone returned to their rooms and went online!
Swhoosh!
I appeared in Floating Ice City's inn and sprinted out. When I arrived at the auction house, I found it was already crowded. There was no time to reserve a room.
But at this time, I heard a ding. System Notice: Dear player, because you have auctioned a high-rank item, you have obtained the right to a VIP room. Your VIP room is 001!
Very good, there is such a privilege!
I was teleported to the room at the front of the auction house. I looked down and saw the bustling crowd and the auctioneer on the stage.
