What kind of joke is this? This thing can shoot sixteen arrows at once!
If one side had this on the battlefield and the other didn't, it would absolutely be a unilateral slaughter.
Imagine, even if only a hundred people had this, they could simultaneously shoot one thousand six hundred arrows at once.
And then they could shoot two more volleys before needing to reload the arrows, making this a great weapon on the battlefield.
Whether it's a large family or the imperial family, they will definitely be interested in these three items!
If the news of these three items is promoted well this afternoon, there will definitely be many large families coming to the auction house.
However, upholding a rigorous and pragmatic attitude, the appraiser, with a solemn expression, gestured to Puppet Yu Xiaogang with a "please" gesture.
"Esteemed guest, please accompany me to our martial arts training ground to test the power of these items."
Lingyun naturally wasn't afraid of testing the goods. Since they were to be auctioned, he certainly had to show the appraiser the true function of these three items in front of him.
Only then could the other party confidently auction the items, to avoid damaging the auction house's reputation.
Lingyun nodded, controlling Puppet Yu Xiaogang and his own body to follow the appraiser's steps towards the martial arts training ground.
About ten minutes later, they walked out of the martial arts training ground, and the appraiser's expression had become elated.
"Guest, although these three items of yours cannot be considered top-tier treasures, they are still rare and valuable.
I want to ask if these items were forged by you? Do you have the forging methods? If you could put them up for auction, their value would definitely skyrocket."
Heh heh...
Lingyun twitched his mouth. The appraiser directly inquired about the forging methods?
He was thinking too much. Who would be foolish enough to sell off forging methods? Wouldn't that be cutting off his own financial path?
Lingyun controlled Puppet Yu Xiaogang to show an unfriendly expression.
"Is your Excellency being too greedy? I am only here to sell these three items, and you are already asking about my forging methods?
Regardless of whether I have the forging methods for these items, even if I did, would I possibly sell them? Do I look like that kind of idiot to you?"
The appraiser also noticed Lingyun's displeasure and immediately realized his impropriety.
When a guest brings treasures to auction, and one covets the source of the other's treasures, no one would have a good temper.
He quickly smiled apologetically to Puppet Yu Xiaogang.
"Guest, I didn't mean it that way. Actually, I meant that if these items of yours could be mass-produced...
The entire Douluo Continent's landscape might change because of them in the future, so various forces will definitely be very interested.
Perhaps these things of yours will be bought back, and major forces will arrange for people to disassemble, reassemble, and attempt to replicate them for mass production. At that time, you will be the one at a disadvantage..."
Disassemble? Reassemble? Replicate?
Lingyun sneered. If he hadn't read the original plot, he might genuinely worry about this.
But the problem is, he read the original. Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons were designed from the beginning with the issue of being disassembled and replicated in mind.
Therefore, many tricks were played with the design blueprints, making them already difficult to manufacture according to the blueprints.
To disassemble, reassemble, and then replicate them is simply wishful thinking.
In the original work, Divine Craftsman Lou Gao wanted to disassemble and reassemble the Godly Zhuge Crossbow he had purchased.
As a result, after disassembling the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, he pulled out all his hair but still couldn't reassemble it.
Finally, in order to learn the manufacturing method of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, Lou Gao even gave up his position as the president of the Blacksmiths' Association and eagerly followed Tang San to the Tang Sect.
It's not that Lingyun discriminates against the blacksmiths behind those families, but they cannot possess Lou Gao's skill.
Even something Lou Gao couldn't replicate, the blacksmiths employed by those families want to replicate? Wishful thinking, right?
Lingyun scoffed: "Don't worry, you don't need to be concerned about that. These items of mine are not so easily replicated.
Even for the simplest Sleeve Arrow, there should not be more than five people on the entire Douluo Continent who can disassemble and reassemble it.
If they really spend a lot of money to buy these and then disassemble them, then it can only be said that they are idle and have nothing better to do."
Lingyun's confident demeanor also made the appraiser look sideways, and he believed Lingyun's words.
Only with a sufficiently deep understanding of these items would one be so confident and unafraid of others disassembling them.
"Alright then, I will communicate with my superiors later and have the auction house heavily promote these three treasures to the outside world, so that all major families know about them.
How about we auction them tomorrow? This way we can achieve the maximum profit. What do you think?"
The appraiser asked in a probing tone.
Lingyun nodded slightly, agreeing to his suggestion.
"Okay, I'll leave the items with you for now. Please help me promote them extensively.
Oh, and please help me prepare three exquisite boxes to put these three items in. Packaging is very important; I came in a hurry and forgot to prepare them."
"Alright, that's no problem. After the items are auctioned off, we will charge you a 10% commission. I hope you are aware of this."
The appraiser held up a finger and solemnly reminded him.
"No problem." Lingyun nodded. Auctioning things on someone else's property definitely requires paying a commission, and 10% is reasonable.
The appraiser turned his head and waved to a receptionist who looked to be in her twenties and was cute.
The receptionist quickly scurried over to them, awaiting the appraiser's words.
"Take them to the auction hall."
The receptionist nodded and then led Puppet Yu Xiaogang and Lingyun's true body towards the auction hall.
Before officially entering the auction hall, the receptionist, just like in the original work when Tang San and Xiao Wu first entered the auction hall, gave each of them a mask.
She said it was for the guests' safety, and everyone entering to participate in the auction had to wear a mask, otherwise no one would attend to them.
Lingyun took the mask and put it on directly. Puppet Yu Xiaogang also put on a mask under his control, and they walked inside together.
Lingyun and Puppet Yu Xiaogang were arranged in the most ordinary white area, as he had bought the most ordinary VIP ticket.
After leading them to the white area, the receptionist left directly, without even the most basic professional smile, not at all enthusiastic.
However, Lingyun was used to it. In the original work, Xiao Wu had also complained about these receptionists looking down on people.
In fact, these receptionists were all slaves of the auction house, essentially soulless machines.
"Eh..."
Calming down, Lingyun actually sensed the aura of three Titled Douluos within the entire auction house.
One of them felt somewhat familiar, and two were very unfamiliar, but Lingyun couldn't be bothered to pay attention; focusing on the auction items was more important.
