At this moment, the second-generation friends of Ji Lingyu were looking at him with envy in their eyes. A 16th-level SSS-class forbidden spell caster risked his life to take Ji Lingyu to level up. What kind of extraordinary opportunity was this? They had initially thought Ji Lingyu was crazy, but now they sincerely believed that it was worth following him as their leader. If they weren't too proud, they might even ask Ye Lin if he needed more subordinates. Just by following a leader, one could level up from 7th to 10th level for free. Who wouldn't be happy about such a good deal?
"Boss, wait for me. I need to talk to my dad first."
Ji Lingyu walked towards his father. The auction dinner was attended by many powerful figures, and he couldn't get anything good on his own. After getting his father's approval, Ji Lingyu felt much more confident.
"Boss, don't worry. I've got it handled! I'll make sure to get the equipment you want tonight!"
Ye Lin nodded. There were only six pieces of equipment that could be used for multiple classes, and there were no restrictions on their types. As long as you were happy, you could even wear six rings or carry six swords at the same time. It was all up to you.
For ordinary people, it was extremely difficult to gather six pieces of equipment, let alone ones that suited them. Therefore, class changers always spent a lot of money. Class changers without money could only work for those who had money. Although they were still above ordinary people, there was no real change in essence. They were just going from ordinary workers to high-level workers.
But with Ji Lingyu as a rich man, Ye Lin should not have to worry about equipment for the time being.
Tap!
At this moment, all the lights in the hall suddenly went out, and the entire dinner was plunged into darkness. But people seemed to be used to it and didn't make any commotion. They just waited quietly.
A beam of light shone on the stage in the center, and a stunning woman in a classical cheongsam with a curvaceous figure had appeared there without anyone noticing.
Her face was lightly made up, and she was breathtakingly beautiful. Every smile and frown seemed to captivate people's hearts. Many men's eyes flashed with greed.
"Good evening, everyone. I'm Qingqing, the auctioneer for tonight's auction dinner. On behalf of the Treasures Auction House, I welcome everyone's arrival and wish everyone a successful night of bidding."
The woman gave a slight bow, and her full breasts were almost spilling out of her dress, making many men's eyes widen. But no one dared to make a move, not even a single person tried to flirt with her.
After all, the Treasures Auction House was not a pushover. It was the largest auction house in the Ancient Xia Kingdom, with branches in almost every city of the Ancient Xia Kingdom. Every year's auction dinner was also organized by the Treasures Auction House.
Flirting with Qingqing would be offending the Treasures Auction House. Everyone present was a prominent figure in Qingcheng. They wouldn't do such a foolish thing for just a woman. With their status and position, getting a woman was as easy as waving a hand.
"Without further ado, just like in previous years, there will be a hundred items for auction tonight. The first fifty are skill scrolls, and the last fifty are equipment. Let's bring out our first item."
Qingqing smiled and clapped her hands. Soon, a bundle of skill scrolls was placed on a tray and brought up.
"The first item is an epic skill scroll! Fire attribute! Suitable for mage classes! The starting price is 500,000, and each bid must be at least 10,000."
As soon as Qingqing finished speaking, the hall was filled with a commotion. Skill levels were divided into common, rare, epic, and legendary. Epic skills were already extremely rare. Starting with an epic skill scroll, it seemed that the Treasures Auction House was well-prepared this year! A job changer can only hold six pieces of equipment at the same time, but there is no limit to the number of skills. This is also a reason why job changers spend a lot of money. Wealthy job changers have better equipment, more skills, and higher skill levels, so their combat power is naturally stronger.
Some experts once conducted an experiment. Under the same level conditions, a fully equipped transfigured character could easily defeat ten transfigured characters with no equipment. When I say I want to fight ten, I'm not just talking.
"Five hundred and ten thousand!"
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!" ...
The big shots at the scene quickly started bidding, and the price of the epic-level skill scroll kept climbing, soon breaking the one million mark, which left Ye Lin astonished. Here, money seemed to be just a number. Fortunately, his profession was a Cursed Spellcaster, and he didn't need any skill scrolls. As long as he leveled up, he could unlock new skills. Otherwise, this poor guy would have had an even harder time.
Of course, his profession couldn't use skill scrolls either. A Cursed Spellcaster could only cast Cursed Spells. Eventually, when Zhuge Qianxing shouted out three million, the epic-level scroll was bought by Zhuge Qianxing, and no one else bid.
Firstly, three million was already a high price. Secondly, in this area of Qingcheng, unless it was absolutely necessary, no one wanted to offend Mr. Zhuge.
"Congratulations, Mr. Zhuge, on winning the epic-level skill scroll. Next, please welcome our second item for auction, a rare-level skill scroll containing a sword technique suitable for sword-related professions. The starting price is one hundred thousand, and each bid must increase by at least ten thousand." Qingqing first congratulated Zhuge Qianxing skillfully, and then presented the second item for auction.
Although the second skill scroll was not as high-level as the first one, it was a sword technique, which immediately aroused the interest of many people. The final price settled at eight hundred thousand.
After looking at a few items, Ye Lin lost interest and leaned back in his chair, pretending to sleep. The first fifty items were all skill scrolls. Even if a legendary-level skill scroll appeared, it wouldn't concern him.
On the other hand, Ji Lingyu bought two skill scrolls he liked during the auction. His profession was the A-rank "Chengying Swordsman", and the second rare-level skill scroll was bought by him.
"Alright, all fifty skill scrolls for this year have been auctioned off. Don't be discouraged if you didn't get a skill scroll. Because what's coming next is the auction of equipment!" Qingqing smiled seductively and clapped her hands. The first piece of equipment for the night was brought out, covered with a red cloth, making it impossible to see its shape. But from its size, it seemed to be a ring, necklace, or bracelet.
Everyone stretched their necks, waiting for Qingqing's introduction. Qingqing didn't keep them in suspense and smiled gracefully, pulling off the red cloth.
"The fifty-first item for tonight's auction is a rare-level equipment! The Imperial Dragon Wish Ring! Its attribute effect is a 30% increase in mental attributes, and it comes with a passive skill: Dragon Aura Infusion. The starting price is eight million! Each bid must increase by at least one hundred thousand!"
