It was the 2nd of February at foothold No . 3A5, Wanbao City .
As the sky was getting dark, a man whose body was shrouded in a black robe and hoodie walked into the Wanbao Auction .
Ignoring the crowded stalls in the auction and the people walking in and out, the man walked straight to the lady in uniform who was in charge of customer service .
"Hi, Sir . May I know if I can help you with anything?"
"I have a business opportunity that I would like to speak about with your boss . " The man whipped out a golden card that was half the size of a palm and showed it to the lady .
The female attendant recognized it as a VIP membership card right away . She nodded immediately . "Sure, Sir, our boss is here today . Please give me a moment and I'll get the manager to bring you to the boss's office . "
"There's no need for the trouble as long as he's here . I know how to get to his office . " The man breezed straight to the office area .
She dared not stop him . She allowed Lin Huang to go in, but she informed the manager immediately .
The man opened the door and went straight into the office when he arrived at the entrance .
The man with a ponytail, who was playing games on the Heart Network, looked up all of a sudden . He was stunned by the appearance of the man in the black robe . The moment the man removed the hood, Tang Xu could not help but exclaim out loud, "Sir?!"
"Seems like you still remember me . " The man smirked but his smile gave one goosebumps .
Tang Xu could not help but shiver . Just when he was going to say something, a manager arrived at the entrance, clearly having sprinted over and gazed at the black-robed man as he looked concernedly into the office .
"Boss, this guest…"
"I know . You may leave now," Tang Xu dismissed lightly .
After getting rid of the manager, Tang Xu stood up and studied the man before him in excitement . "Sir, are you selling something or purchasing resources this time?"
"I have a batch of some rather valuable items but I'm not sure if your auction will accept them or not . " The man plopped onto the couch comfortably .
Tang Xu poured him a cup of tea immediately . "Please do tell me more, Sir . "
"Ten demigod relics…" The man took a sip of the tea and proceeded to continue slowly, "Two god relics . "
"Two god relics?" Tang Xu was completely dumbstruck .
There had only been three god relics that appeared in the entire Division 3 throughout the past hundreds of years . However, the man before him had announced that he had two god relics as soon as he arrived . It would be odd if nobody felt indifferent hearing that .
"Would you accept them? If not, I can always look for someone else . " The man in the black robe caressed the surface of the teacup softly with his fingers while he set his eyes on Tang Xu like he was looking at a harmless little creature .
"We'll accept them! You have my word, Sir," Tang Xu assured immediately . No god relic had appeared even in Division 1 for more than 30 years . If he accepted those, his Wanbao Auction would definitely shoot to instant fame .
"Sure, tell me about your requirements . "
The black-robed man nodded in satisfaction . "Two god relics . I won't sell them for Life Crystals . I'll only trade them for items . Also, the buy-in of each relic must be two God Figurines . The proceeding bids after that do not necessarily have to be God Figurines . "
"Must the starting bid be God Figurines? Can't they bid with other items of the same value?" Tang Xu asked immediately . He found out about a God Figurine's real value after Lin Huang's lucky bid last time .
"No, it must be a God Figurine . " The black-robed man's tone was determined .
"Alright then…" Tang Xu could only accept the strict condition . It was the seller's request after all and he was just the middle-man . "Can I take a look at the two god relics?"
"Sure . " The man agreed and nodded right away . He then took out the two god relics which were a sword and a spear .
Tang Xu fell into a trance immediately . He could not take his eyes off the items, and only snapped back to his senses unwillingly after a long time .
"Shall we talk about the details now?" The black-robed man looked at Tang Xu while smirking .
…
Lin Huang had not slept for three days at the Magical Sky City's Central Library .
He had been 'staying' there ever since the Union Government sent him back to Magical Sky City . The Central Library was open for 24 hours all year long .
Apart from less than half an hour's rest in between, Lin Huang spent almost all the 72 hours throughout the library .
After all, he was only given a three-day pass with level-one reading authorization from the Union Government .
Lin Huang initially planned to bring Bloody there in order to memorize all of the useful information he could access with a level-one reading authorization using its Supreme Intelligence .
However, later, he found out that the Central Library only allowed access to humans while imperial monsters and pet monsters were prohibited . There was even a ban set for demigods whereby they were killed if they sensed a monster's aura right away . It was a sure death even if the monster that came in was on imperial-level purple-gold rank .
After learning about such a rule, Lin Huang had to give up the idea of bringing Bloody in and took the mission up himself .
For the past three days, he had used three Provisional Transformation Cards to borrow Bloody's Super Intelligence for the highest efficiency in the absorption of information .
He got the idea of using Provisional Transformation Cards in such a brilliant way from Xiao Hei .
With the help of Super Intelligence, Lin Huang obtained the memorization and analytical abilities which were on par with Bloody's . After spending some time to filter through the data, he spent the next three days memorizing over 30,000 bits of knowledge accessible with level-one reading authorization .
During the half an hour of 'rest' in between, he used his Cloning Card and Disguise Card to create the demigod-level powerhouse just like before . He used them to head to Wanbao City to auction the two god relics, which were a spear and a sword, off .
The condition of trading the god relics was very simple . They could only be traded with God Figurines . Moreover, the starting bid for a god relic had to be two God Figurines .
Although Lin Huang mentioned the acquisition of information about God Figurines, nobody suspected him .
One of the reasons was that he had the alibi of being at the Central Library when his clone appeared in the Wanbao Auction .
The other reason was that demigods had acquired God Figurines in the past before in order to remodel their Combat Souls . The demigod Lin Huang disguised as was not the first demigod to make such an odd request .
Even if the people from the Wanbao Auction found out that the man in the black robe had a 'master-disciple' relationship with Lin Huang, they would think that it was the black-robed man who wanted the God Figurine while Lin Huang had nothing to do with it . They would not think that the god and demigod relics the black-robed man possessed had anything to do with Lin Huang . After all, relics of such a level were unattainable for an immortal-level powerhouse like Lin Huang .
Naturally, the appearance of two god relics at the same time created a stir in the entire Division 3 .
Even many demigods in Division 1 and Division 2 were shocked . Such a level of treasure was extremely rare . Even Division 1 had less than ten god relics that showed up throughout the past 800 years; that number was naturally fewer in Divisions 2 and 3 .
Apart from the two god relics that Lin Huang handed over this time, Division 3 only seen three god relics in the past hundreds of years .
Lin Huang gave the Wanbao Auction the full authority to auction the god relics off while he freed his hands from the responsibility .
The Wanbao Auction set the official auction date as soon as they released the news of the god relics being available . It would take place on the 8th of March after the New Year .
On the 4th of February at 10 a . m . , Lin Huang's level-1 reading authorization expired . He then walked out of the library and headed to the long-distance dimensional portal to travel to a different division .
Although it was an exclusive passage for transcendence-levels, many of them were heading home to celebrate the New Year . Lin Huang, who had booked his ticket over three months ago, queued until past 2 p . m . and finally walked into the dimensional portal with 29 other people .
His vision recovered after a moment of being in a daze and realized that he was in the White Capital of Division 7 now .
