Chapter 232: Luo River God of the Capital (2/2)
Murong Mingyue said, ”Why do these words sound like a boast?”
I shook my head and laughed. ”Those that achieve great things need ambition. They dare to think and do, they go as far as they can see!”
”Yes yes, eat up first!”
……
After eating quickly and drinking some wine, I was slightly dizzy. Inside, I thought about the two items I was auctioning off. I had to return on time, and see the day I would become rich!
I looked at the time. It was 11 at night, about half an hour left before the auction of the Golden Scale Bow. I could imagine the news on the auction of these two items must have spread through the nine main cities of the China server. Many people would have spent lots to buy a super teleportation scroll to come to Floating Ice City to participate.
I went out of the restaurant. Feeling the cold autumn breeze, I calmed down.
He Yi stood next to me and looked into the distance, saying, ”The night is so quiet. Are you going online after returning?”
”Mn, I am going to the auction house to see the situation!”
”Okay, I am going as well!”
”Okay!”
Ultimately, Murong Mingyue and Beiming Xue were also curious about my auction, so our entire workshop went together.
Sitting in the car, I opened the window, letting wind blow in.
I sat in the back, looking up at the starry sky and said, ”The situation of Heavenblessed is growing more complex and interesting. There are all kinds of experts. We need to take the opportunity and get famous, making Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls into an epic guild!”
”Yes!”
He Yi nodded and smiled. ”Right, we haven't finalized the name of our workshop. How about we call it the 'Storm workshop'. How about it, very imposing...”
My eyes lit up. I said, ”A workshop in Shanghai seems to have registered with this name. Let's use another one, how about ‘Frost Cloud workshop’?”
”Frost Cloud? Is there some meaning behind?” He Yi asked.
I nodded. ”Frost, like ice, is hard and unyielding. There is an ancient saying—frost, the time for heaven to kill! Therefore, the frost itself symbolizes slaughter. Some people say white dew is frost. Also, a mighty person of the Jin Dynasty once wrote: ‘those with pure intentions are as clean as frost, their aspirations reach the clouds’. All of this is the meaning of ‘Frost Cloud’.”
Murong Mingyue laughed and turned the wheel, saying, ”Alright, so this name is quite good. Eve, how about we settle this and find someone to make our Frost Cloud workshop official?”
He Yi nodded. ”Okay, I have no problem with it.”
I looked outside the window and smiled slightly.
He Yi looked at me, surprised. ”Why the smile?”
”Actually... the words Frost Cloud has another meaning...”
”Oh, what is it?” He Yi laughed as though she was interested.
I looked up into the sky and said, ”There are four whites in the world—the clouds in the sky, the frost on the ground, the behind of beauties, and cabbage!”
”Damn!”
The women blushed. He Yi couldn't resist punching me and said, ”You’re getting worse!”
Murong Mingyue said, ”Maybe it’s his true nature. Oh, we met a bad person!”
……
I gave two suggestions, and the women seemed to like the second one more. Thus, the matter of our workshop’s name was settled. Frost Cloud workshop. It only proved the beauties’ pale complexion.
……
When I returned to the workshop, it was 11:30 pm. The auction would begin in a few minutes . Everyone charged into their rooms and went online!
Swhoosh!
I appeared in Floating Ice City's inn and sprinted out to the auction house. There, I found a sea of people. I was too late to even reserve a booth.
But at this time, I heard a “ding”.
System Notice: Dear player, because you are selling a high-grade item, you have the privilege of a VIP booth. Your room is 001!
Very good. Seller had such a privilege!
I was sent into the booth. This was the centermost booth in the auction house. If I looked down, I could see the crowd, as well as the auction ladies.
