Chapter 85: An Inexplicable Sense of Deja Vu
🕑 Added 2025-03-10 10:09:01 +0000 UTC‘What a greedy little kitty.’
Ye Cheng had only this comment about Zhu Zhuqing. He then turned his attention to the five girls standing respectfully in front of him.
“What are your names?”
He did not hide his interest in the quintuplets. To be honest, from any perspective, the auction house was definitely spending a fortune to give away these excellent quintuplets.
It was rare to have twins, not to mention that they were all beautiful women with outstanding looks. What was even more rare was that they also had the qualifications of soul masters. And this qualification was not bad, it could even be said to be very excellent!
In addition, the auction house must have invested a lot of resources to train these quintuplets to this level at this age. Taking all these advantages into consideration, you can imagine how rare these quintuplets are.
It might happen once In hundreds of years. He would be a fool to let it go.
When they heard Ye Cheng’s question, the five triplets’ blue eyes wavered, and then the girl on the far left spoke first, “Ichika.”
Then, as if causing a chain reaction, the other four girls also spoke one after another.
“Nino.”
“Miku.”
“Yotsuba.”
“Itsuki.”
The quintuplets spoke in perfect harmony, as if they understood each other’s thoughts. When one finished speaking, another would continue, without any incoordination.
Looking at these five girls who didn’t speak or behave like maids at all, Ye Cheng was more certain of his guess. These five girls were definitely not trained as maids since childhood, otherwise their eyes wouldn’t be so smart, and they didn’t reveal the slavery in their bones like other maids. On the contrary, they gave him a feeling of familiarity. There was an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
In fact, if he used the system to check the detailed information of these five girls at this time, he would discover an interesting secret.
“Is it named with numbers? What about the surname?” Ye Cheng asked curiously.
Last name?
The five girls looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison. In fact, they had surnames before, but now, it was meaningless to use that surname in this world.
Seeing the five girls shaking their heads, Ye Cheng thought they were orphans adopted from an auction house, so he only gave them names without surnames, and did not ask any more questions.
Time passed in chatting.
During the conversation, Ye Cheng found that although the quintuplets looked the same, they had distinct personalities. Chatting with these five girls made him feel like he was chatting with girls from his previous life on Earth. It was very interesting.
Seeing the six people sitting on the sofa chatting animatedly, Zhu Zhuqing was completely unable to join in the conversation and was unconsciously left out. She could only be squeezed into the corner of the sofa like a mute person, feeling a little annoyed.
Fortunately, at this time, a bell rang in the private room, indicating that the auction was about to officially begin.
When the quintuplets heard the ringtone, they remembered their duties. They were so engrossed in chatting with this person that they almost missed their business.
Ichika, the eldest sister, stood up and said with a smile: “Let me explain the rules of our top auction to Your Excellency.” As she spoke, she gestured to one of the sisters.
Ye Cheng remembered that the girl was called Nino, the second of the five triplets. She walked to the smooth wall and pressed it gently. Suddenly, a soft halo shone on the entire wall.
The light gradually became stronger, and finally the wall gradually turned into a huge screen. Seeing this scene, Ye Cheng was a little surprised. It was really too familiar to him who came from modern society.
As if seeing his surprise, Ichika immediately smiled and explained: “This is a soul guide handed down from ancient times. It can transmit images and sounds through a special method.”
Ye Cheng nodded. Of course he knew that this thing was a soul guide device. He was just surprised because it looked too much like a projector.
At this time, the picture on the screen on the wall gradually became clear. First, an auction table appeared. The old Soul Douluo man who had left before was now standing on it. It was obvious that he was the one who would host the auction later.
Ichika introduced as a matter of routine: “In order to protect the privacy of the VIPs participating in the top auction, all the top VIPs participating in the auction will have their own exclusive rooms. Just like the room where Your Excellency is standing. Bidding and viewing of the items will be carried out in this room.
All food and drinks here are free. After the auction is successful, the items will be delivered to the room immediately. “
Ye Cheng nodded, indicating that he understood.
Seeing that he was not interested in these things, Ichika tactfully did not introduce them any further.
Soon, the old Soul Douluo man who was presiding over the auction on the screen began to speak.
“Welcome to the Tiandou Auction House’s top auction. Today, we will present a total of 18 precious items to you. The value of the items will be displayed from low to high. I hope you will like them.”
Although this auction was mainly for the three soul bones, it was impossible to only auction three soul bones. Otherwise, the others would have nothing to play with. So it was necessary to get some auction items to start with.
“Dear guests, your time is precious, so I won’t waste any more time. Our auction begins now. Now, please appreciate the first lot of today’s auction.”
As he spoke, the Soul Douluo elder made a gesture of invitation. Suddenly, the scene changed, and an item appeared on the soul guide screen on the entire wall.
The ten-meter-wide wall displays every detail of it.
This is a bracelet with eighteen gems connected to it. The whole is gorgeous and elegant.
The voice of the old Soul Douluo who is the auctioneer can be heard. “This is a precious ancient soul guide. Its function is to store items. Each gem has a space of ten meters in length, width and height.”
It must be said that the auction house really did its best for this auction. They even brought out such a precious large-space soul guide to stimulate discussion.
If Ye Cheng didn’t have a better storage ring, he would probably have taken a photo of this soul guide. After all, the space contained in this soul guide is much larger than that of ordinary soul guides.
In the end, this soul guide bracelet had a starting price of 500,000 gold soul coins and was sold for 1.6 million gold soul coins.
Then the second lot was a hairpin. As long as you input soul power, you can send out a special soul guide that is equivalent to a soul king's full-strength attack. The only drawback is that this thing has a limit on the number of times it can be used, and it can only be used nine times. After it is used up, this thing will be useless.
The starting price was 700,000 Gold Soul Coins, and it was finally sold for 2 million Gold Soul Coins.
In this way, one item after another was presented.
Ye Cheng looked at the items with great interest, and occasionally, when he saw an item he really liked, he would take a picture of it.
Time passes quietly.
Finally, there were only three lots left.
