Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 354 - Being A Good Teacher, Making Fun Of Him

Chapter 354 - Being A Good Teacher, Making Fun Of Him

Ever since Vincent saved Ebenezer in the Arena of Life and Death, he had developed a habit.

He had become a good teacher!

Once he met a young man with good character and talent, he wanted to take the opportunity to teach and nurture him!

Although Dave believed in Gajero, he was not that kind of fanatic. At the same time, his intelligence and skills were also considered high-grade. Vincent wanted to cherish his talent, which was why he gave Dave some pointers at that crucial moment.

As for whether he could grasp the crux of the matter, it would depend on his own perception!

Vincent was very satisfied with the result. Not only did Dave understand his pointers, but he was also able to use them skillfully. This meant that he was definitely a talent that could be molded!

At that moment, Catherine also often heaved a sigh of relief and sighed, "If His Highness insists on competing with David today, I'm afraid that I'll have to take out the entire fifth floor to help His Highness to suppress David. At that time, I'll become a homeless and lonely Dark Elf!"

Dave had just figured out the stakes, and he had seen David's irrational roar with his own eyes. He was in a great mood. He looked up at Catherine and said with a smile, "With me here, how can you be alone? If the fifth floor is gone, I'll think of a way to give the ninth floor to you!"

Catherine did not show any excitement or joy on her face when she heard that. Instead, she smiled with a complicated expression and nodded slightly to Dave to express her grat.i.tude.

When Vincent saw the scene, he closed the curtains silently. He was certain that Dave did have an abnormal feeling toward Catherine. However, this feeling made Catherine feel worried and afraid. Therefore, she did not reply to Dave.

Vincent sighed softly, "The two of them are really interesting!"

Monica had developed a sense of security, so she was no longer afraid of Vincent, who had a strange ident.i.ty. She asked with a curious face, "What's interesting?"

Vincent shook his head and said, "Nothing. Tell me about the auction house. For example, how many items are usually auctioned off at the auction house, and what are the last few items?"

Monica noticed that Vincent did not answer her question. She could not help but pout in disappointment. With a disappointed face, she said, "The number of items is usually not fixed, but the final items are all top-grade treasures that can only be found by chance without exception. Once, the main trunk of the Origin Divine Tree was auctioned off here. There was also a piece of special equipment that was pa.s.sed down from the demons. It was said that Gajero had used it when he was young, and it gave off a great sensation! There are also all kinds of treasures. In short, the final item is a treasure that even the City Lord would be interested in!"

Vincent nodded. The main event of the day would definitely be that final item and before that final item appeared, it was likely for there to be another scene where Dave and David would bid with all their might.

At the same time, the fourth item was moved onto the auction stage. It instantly caused countless Dark Elves to cry out in surprise. This was because no one knew what the item was!

A two-meter-tall giant stone ball was placed on the auction stage. The surface of the giant stone was milky white and uneven. It did not look valuable at all!

The auctioneer immediately introduced the item, "Everyone, please take a look at this ball. It was found by the Dark Elves Hunting Squad outside the Black Hole from an aircraft that was shot down. Finally, it was transferred to the auction house and had successfully pa.s.sed through our inspection. There are signs of psionic energy flowing inside this stone layer. This means that there must be something sealed inside, and it has a special attribute! However, we cannot estimate its specific value. It can only be considered as an item to be auctioned off blindly. Next, everyone, please rely on your own eyes and experience to start bidding!"

As everyone was faced with an auction item of an unknown origin and use, everyone decided to wait and observe. There was not even a minimum bid available. No one knew what kind of item it was, so it was probably a good idea not to start bidding rashly.

Vincent, who was sitting in the private room, looked at the milky white giant stone ball on the stage. His eyes could not help but narrow slightly. Countless memory fragments soon appeared in his mind.

That was the ancient secret information left behind in the immortal skull. Vincent vaguely remembered that he had seen a similar scene in those memory fragments!

After a while, Vincent found the memory. At the same time, he understood the origin of this giant white ball.

Vincent opened his eyes and sighed softly, "Mother Nest Insect Egg!"

Monica heard this and looked at Vincent curiously. However, she did not ask any questions because she knew that even if she asked, Vincent would not necessarily answer her, so she might as well not look for trouble.

Vincent was not in the mood to pay attention to Monica at that time. This was because he was hesitating whether to ask Dave to buy this giant insect egg for him.

In the memories of the Immortals, there was a powerful race called the Zerg in ancient times. It was completely different from the current Zerg Race. It could even be said that they were two completely different races!

That ancient Zerg all looked like giant spiders, and in their world, there was a giant spider that could occupy half of the world. At the same time, it was also the mother of all the ancient Zerg, so it was called the mother nest!

The ancient Zerg Race was very brutal, and their abilities were very special. Their feet could cut through s.p.a.ce, and the spider webs they weaved could corrode spatial cracks.

Just like the parallel tunnels created by the Lingluo Race, the ancient Zerg Race could rely on their advantage in numbers to weave countless spider webs and corrode tunnels that led to other worlds!

Hence, at that time, many worlds were invaded by the ancient race!

Under the leaders.h.i.+p of the Immortals, several powerful races joined forces and formed an alliance army to resist the ancient Zerg Race. Finally, the alliance army invaded the ancient Zerg Race's world. They killed the mother nest and wiped out all the members of the Zerg Race. They destroyed them completely and made them disappear from history!

The giant milky-white stone in front of him was the egg that was originally produced by the mother nest, but it had yet to hatch.

The entire ancient Zerg Race had already disappeared. This egg must have gone through countless coincidences to be preserved until the present. According to the auctioneer, psionic energy could still be detected in the egg. This meant that the ancient Zerg that was nurtured in the egg was still alive!

What made Vincent excited was that although the ancient Zerg members were terrifying, they also had countless top-grade materials that had already gone extinct!

Their feet were the best material to forge weapons!

Armor that was made from their skin could withstand the storms in the s.p.a.ce-time tunnel!

Their flesh and blood could be mixed to create highly toxic raw materials, while their silk glands could be used to create top-grade magic scrolls!

As Vincent was faced with an ancient race that was full of treasures, he naturally wanted it very much. He immediately pulled open the curtain and said to Dave, "Your Highness! Didn't you say that you want to buy me a gift? I think this huge rock will do! It looks very mysterious. After buying it, there should be a good harvest!"

Dave looked at Vincent with some surprise and asked, "Are you sure you want to buy this thing? Why don't you wait a little longer? What if there are better treasures later?"

Vincent shook his head and said, "I'm not knowledgeable. I won't want all the treasures that I see. However, there are not many treasures that can make me curious. This stone is one of them. I want to get it and study it properly. I wonder if Your Highness can help me?"

Dave smiled and said, "No problem, leave it to me!"

Dave stood up and walked to the window.

"I offer 10,000 crystal coins!"

The Dark Elves in the hall who were hesitating could not help but look up when they heard the voice from the second floor. They then sighed with some relief.

The Dark Elf on the second floor must be a n.o.ble son of a prominent family. Therefore, it was very likely that he knew some secrets that ordinary Dark Elves did not know. Therefore, when no one dared to bid, he could proceed to use his own background and knowledge to make a bid first!

Everyone's mentality was the same as before. If the n.o.ble young master wanted something, they would not s.n.a.t.c.h it away from him. Moreover, the other party had bid 10,000 crystal coins right away. Clearly, this huge stone was very valuable to him. Even if the others bought the stone, they did not know what use it would have. Instead, they would offend a rich and powerful n.o.ble. It was not worth it at all!

Therefore, everyone was willing to compromise and let the n.o.ble on the second floor buy the stone.

However, there was one Dark Elf that had a completely different mentality from the others. That Dark Elf was David, who had just defeated Dave in a crus.h.i.+ng manner. However, he had a disappointed look on his face!

He came to the auction with an important mission in mind. He originally wanted to embarra.s.s Dave in the previous bidding, but he had unexpectedly fallen into a trap. It was uncertain whether his mission could be completed, and the culprit who caused all this was naturally Dave, who was hiding on the second floor!

After hearing Dave bid 10,000 crystal coins so confidently at the first bid, it was obvious that he recognized the huge stone on the stage as a treasure!

After thinking about it, David's heart was burning with the flames of revenge. He raised his hand with a fierce gaze and shouted, "I bid 20,000 crystal coins!"

"No way, it's happening again?"

"Are the youngsters nowadays so angry?"

"Can't we wait until the real treasure is brought up to compete? If they fight to buy a stone, we won't even bother who gets it!"

At this time, the Dark Elves in the hall no longer lowered their heads and remained silent. Instead, they gathered in twos and threes to discuss in low voices. However, some of the discussion was heard by David.

David only smiled gently at them because, in his opinion, the Dark Elves behind him were all idiots who did not understand his wisdom.

If it was a treasure that everyone could see the value of, then even if Dave took the initiative to bid, David might have hesitated to bid. However, if it was an item of an unknown value and Dave took the initiative to bid, this meant that this thing was definitely a priceless treasure, and only Dave could see it. As such, David would not hesitate to fight for it!

This was because s.n.a.t.c.hing a rare treasure away from Dave would only make him angry and drive him crazy. This was the scene that David wanted to see the most.

However, although everyone was speculating, none of them knew the reason why Dave had chosen to bid 10,000 crystal coins.

And the reason was that Dave did not want to appear too cheap in front of Vincent. Therefore, even if the stone was not valuable, he had to raise the price of the stone so that Vincent would remember his kindness to him.

However, Dave had thought wrong. At that moment, he stood awkwardly in front of the window, frowning as he sighed, "How could I have forgotten about that mad dog David! Why did he come out to cause trouble at this time?"

Catherine looked at Dave's back that was trembling with anger. She could not help but say to Vincent worriedly, "If His Highness Dave forcefully buys this stone for you, then he will continue to fight with David. You should just give up this gift. I will personally collect some blind auction items that the auction house cannot set a price on and compensate you as a gift. How about it?"

Suddenly, Dave turned to look at Catherine and said coldly, "Since when do you decide for me?"

Catherine's expression changed drastically when she heard that. She lowered her head silently and did not dare to speak up again.

After seeing this, Vincent could not help but walk to Dave's side. He said softly, "Your Highness, if there is a woman who knows how to manage the auction house by your side, that is a good thing! Besides, I only want this stone out of curiosity. Since it's not enough for that David to suffer a loss once, why don't you take this opportunity to play with him again? Wouldn't it be fun to turn a sad matter into a happy matter?"

After hearing Vincent's advice, Dave's mood eased up a lot. He asked softly, "Then you don't want this stone?"

Vincent twisted his neck and smiled.

"This David has been disrespectful to His Highness repeatedly. I wonder how strong he is?"

Dave could not help but snort coldly in response and say, "A little stronger than me. He is now a level 21 creature!"

Vincent smiled and nodded. He continued, "Although my strength is not high, my speed is the best. If I ever become curious about that stone again, I can just sneak into David's house and steal it from him! I think that with his level 21 strength, he is not strong enough to discover me. Even if he discovers me, he might not be able to catch up to me!"

Dave raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not expect Vincent to have such a bold idea. For a moment, he could not help but have some antic.i.p.ation in his heart. He smiled and said, "Good! Then today, let's have some fun with David first! I will see how you steal this stone back! If you can do it, I will have other rewards for you!"

Vincent nodded and said, "It's a deal!"

At that moment, Dave's worries were dispelled. He immediately turned his head toward the window and said, "Previously, you've already s.n.a.t.c.hed away my Seven Stars Flying Thunder Sword. I won't let you s.n.a.t.c.h this gem away. I offer 100,000 crystal coins!"

When David, who was sitting in the hall, heard Dave personally said the word 'gem', he was certain that the huge rock was definitely a treasure.

Yet, Dave revealed the secret of the gem in a state of panic and anger. He could not let Dave get what he wanted!

"I bid 500,000 crystal coins!"

"One million!"

"Two million!"

"Five million!"

"Ten million!"

The bidding between Dave and David soared to ten million once again. Vincent looked at the smile on Dave's face and knew that he would not be at a disadvantage, so he turned his head to look behind him with relief.

Catherine was staring at Dave. Her eyes were not filled with resentment despite being scolded earlier. Instead, she was happy and glad about Dave's current state of mind.

Vincent thought that Catherine looked roughly 20 years older than Dave. However, the elves had a long lifespan. The difference of 20 years was just like a small gap for them. Perhaps it was due to the difference in status or perhaps it was because of Dave's insidious personality, which caused Catherine to only feel fear when facing Dave. Instead, she would only show concern for him when he was not paying attention to her.

At that moment, an irritable voice was heard from outside the window. The voice startled Vincent.

"I bid 30 million crystal coins!"

Vincent turned his head in surprise and looked at David, who had already stood up in the hall. He actually offered a sky-high price of 30 million crystal coins. He could not help but sigh in his heart. This guy was really a top-notch prodigal!

At this time, Dave also knew when to stop. He turned around and returned to his seat. He opened a bottle of wine and filled it up for himself. He said contentedly, "This stone is not like the Seven Stars Flying Thunder Sword from before. If I raise the price again, David might give up, so I stopped when I was feeling good!"

Vincent smiled and nodded. He then leaned forward and said, "It's good to stop when you are feeling good. I wonder if I can ask for a drink?"

Dave held the wine gla.s.s and looked at Vincent. He then turned to look at Monica, who was sitting alone in the room. He smiled and said, "I don't have any wine for you to drink! If you want to drink, go to the small room to drink. I just brought the girl out from the fifth floor, and you're already leaving her hanging? Hurry back and accompany her!"

Vincent smiled slightly. He picked up an empty wine gla.s.s and poured himself a gla.s.s of wine. He then said, "When dealing with women, you have to know how to relax and control yourself. This girl was a little scared when I provoked her previously. Now, let her have a good rest. You can't just scare her. This will only make her more and more afraid of you. You should show your gentleness and magnanimity from time to time. Only then can you influence her from the inside out!"

After hearing Vincent's strange tone and explanation, Dave wanted to mock him. However, he suddenly stopped. After thinking about it twice, he turned to look at Catherine, who also had a complicated expression on her face.

"Vincent, you..."

Dave was about to turn to ask Vincent if he was insinuating himself when he suddenly found out that Vincent had already run into the small room. He could only put down the gla.s.s in anger and amus.e.m.e.nt.

Catherine could not help but ask softly, "Is His Highness angry?"

Dave shook his head. He then raised his hand to hold Catherine's hand that was holding the gla.s.s and said, "If it was just an ordinary subordinate, I would definitely be angry if he dared to say those words to me! But Vincent is different. I don't know why, but I can always listen to what he says. Just like what he said just now, it still makes sense to me. I should still treat a woman gently… Don't you think so?"

Catherine's eyes widened slightly when she heard that. She was already used to the secular world, so it was very difficult for her to react. However, she still blushed and lowered her head a little embarra.s.sedly. Her reaction made Dave's heart waver.
