"Yes, then I will leave first." Yu Luomian left the hall.
After explaining everything, Yu Yuanzhen could no longer hold on and collapsed suddenly in the chair, looking decadent and his eyes dull and lifeless. In an instant, he looked a dozen years older.
"Did I really do something wrong? Should the sect change its direction and stop being neutral?" Yu Yuanzhen muttered to himself.
While the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan was in a gloomy mood, the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan on the other side was holding a commendation meeting. It turned out that the 2.0 stage of the soul guide research and development had been completed, and they were making generous rewards to the clan members who participated in the research and development.
Originally, only 9 types of soul guides were mass-produced, but now 28 types of soul guides can be mass-produced. Space soul guides have also been mass-produced, but the cost is still very high, and the largest space is only 20 square meters. We must control sales, otherwise it will be worthless. It would be best to use this to start a trade war with the Spirit Hall and the two empires, cheat them, and reap their wealth.
The power of the original nine soul guides has also been greatly improved. For example, the automatic defense capability of the Extreme Somersault Cloud has been increased from the early stage of the Great Soul Master to the early stage of the Soul Master; the Desert Eagle has been improved into a new type of machine gun: [Extreme Thunder Gun].
The one who made the greatest contribution was naturally Zhuang Xingyu. Not to mention that the research data on the soul guides was originally brought by Zhuang Xingyu, even if we only count the guidance Zhuang Xingyu gave during the research and development, we would have avoided many detours.
The most important thing is that the encryption anti-theft technology of the soul guide was developed by Zhuang Xingyu. Zhuang Xingyu developed it by integrating some spells and formations from the Zhu Xian world, which have never appeared in the Douluo universe. A self-destruct program was also added. Once someone wants to dismantle the defense system, it will explode directly when the key parts are dismantled.
Zhuang Xingyu convened a meeting of the core elders and above, "The sale of soul guides this time is not only to increase the family's income, but more importantly, to tie it up with the Mission Pavilion and build the Mission Pavilion into a department that integrates intelligence, chamber of commerce, helping Douluo civilians, and maintaining peace for the human race."
"The research and development of soul guides will continue. The family will continue to increase investment and strive to develop soul guide version 3 within 4 to 3.0 years to further improve the types, quality and power of soul guides."
"For the soul guide research and development base, the guard force must be further strengthened, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering. Three different forms of security checks will be added. All personnel in the base will be checked every two hours. The second chief core elder (Zhuang Jingxi) will personally lead the guard."
"Among the 28 existing soul guides, five types of mass-destruction soul guides, such as the [Ultimate Immortal Cannon] and the [Ultimate Thunder Gun], are prohibited from being sold to the outside world and must be kept strictly confidential. This is our trump card."
"The remaining 10 types of soul guides that are for viewing, entertainment, and non-lethal purposes need to be mass-produced. The major forces in Douluo Continent like these things that show off their status. Build 6 new factories to expand production."
"The remaining 13 types of lethal soul guides should be selectively sold. Without endangering the safety of our tribe, we should do our best to increase sales. For example, we can first give some Desert Eagles to sellers at a low price or for free, so that they understand the value of these things. Don't make money by selling Desert Eagles, but make money by selling bullets, repairing Desert Eagles, etc., in the long run. Only the limitless."
"As for sales, we will first invite all the major forces to hold a soul guide device launch conference to make the company famous, and then hold a soul guide device auction. Auctions bring in money quickly, and then we can expand sales. Next, I will tell you about your specific tasks... Okay, adjourn the meeting!"
The soul guide technology has been re-mastered by the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan and has been put into perfect mass production. Once the news came out, it instantly caused a heated discussion in the soul master community. The large-scale documentary [Legend of the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan's Soul Guide Device Release Conference] was broadcast in a shocking manner.
Chapter 134 Soul Guidance Device Press Conference
Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi and other leaders of various forces once again gathered at the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan to participate in the soul guide device launch conference. However, the Spirit Hall sought to be noble, and Pope Bibi Dong still did not come. Jue Wu Douluo still represented the tribe.
Zhuang Xingyu now divides the forces on the Douluo Continent into: invincible forces, super forces, top forces, first-rate to fifth-rate forces. The only invincible forces are the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan and the Spirit Hall. The super forces are the royal families of the two empires. The top forces are Lan Dian, Qibao, Dongfang, and Huangfu. The Xingguan Sect in the Xingluo Empire is also a top force. They are not weak, and the Dai family cannot really control them.
Looking at the towering city in front of him, Ju Douluo felt a little scared, and sent a message to Ghost Douluo beside him: "Old Ghost, the current Extreme Yin Yang Leopard City is even taller and stronger than our Wuhun City. I really don't want to come here. Including this time, I have been here three times. The first two times I was beaten by them secretly, the valuables in the soul guide were looted, and even the clothes with a little value were taken away. I don't know if I can escape this time."
Ghost Douluo thought for a moment and replied, "It shouldn't happen this time. After all, this time is different from the past. They are going to open the door for business now. Before Bibi Dong came, she asked us to buy more soul guides for research to see if we can make them. We are here to give them money. We don't intend to cause trouble, so it shouldn't happen."
Ju Douluo exclaimed: "What a huge change! In addition to our Spirit Hall and the Slaughter City, the controllers of all the major forces in Douluo Continent are here! This kind of grand occasion has only happened once in decades or even hundreds of years in our Spirit Hall, and it only appears when the new pope takes over."
"And this kind of grand occasion has occurred three times in the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Tribe in just over two years. Once when Tang Hao was killed during the celebration, once when they invited various forces to view the spoils of the destruction of the Haotian Sect, and now it is happening again at the soul guide device launch conference."
"There is also the implementation of the Mission Pavilion. Many forces will come here when they have conflicts and ask the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan to mediate the conflicts and seek justice. How can they come up with so many tricks?"
Ju Douluo is very worried about the future development prospects of the Spirit Hall. Today, the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard City has surpassed the Spirit City and has become the real cultural, economic, and political center of the Douluo Continent.
Ghost Douluo interrupted Ju Douluo's thoughts, "Don't think about it, just go in quickly, the press conference is about to start. The Great Priest and Bibi Dong are not in a hurry. You and I are just workers, why worry about it? It's useless to worry, they won't listen to your advice."
"Sometimes it is better to play deaf and dumb. The more you know, but are unable to change it, the more heartbroken you will be. Anyone with a discerning eye knows where the problems of the Spirit Hall lie now, but there are too many personal emotions and interest disputes involved, which are impossible to coordinate, and the accumulated contradictions are almost reaching the limit. Either there is a thorough reform from top to bottom within the Spirit Hall, or a war is launched externally to transfer the crisis and divert the contradictions. There is no other good way." The more taciturn a person is, the clearer he sees.
……
"Thank you all for coming to our clan's soul guide device launch conference. Believe me, I will definitely give you a surprise. Without further ado, as the patriarch of the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan, I hereby announce the official start of the [Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan's First Soul Guide Device Launch Conference]!" The heads of all major forces gathered together, so naturally Zhuang Jingxing had to preside over the event personally.
Then two Soul Saint announcers from the family came up and began to explain the 23 types of soul guides that were to be sold to the outside world.
"Dear guests, please look. This is the Desert Eagle. It can fire bullets with a power up to level 50 of the Soul Master. Even ordinary people without soul power can use it. The bullets are made with the secret method of our tribe. There are bullets with power levels of 1 to 50. Different specifications have been developed according to user needs. There are bullets that can be loaded with 3, 5, or 8 bullets at a time."
"The operation is also very simple. It does not require any conditions. After a few hours of simple training, you can get started. Even a 2-year-old child can use it."
The reporter pointed to a row of beautifully crafted Desert Eagles, which were carved with dragons and phoenixes and inlaid with many gems. Even more amazingly, every time a Desert Eagle fired a bullet, the gun would emit colorful and varied special effects. Yes, they were really just special effects, which looked good but did not increase the power at all.
It is not only a weapon, but also a luxury item, which fully captures the face-consciousness of these aristocratic families.
There are two identical Desert Eagles. One is made normally and has nothing but some patterns; the other is fully equipped with special effects that are useless except for being pretty. The power and quality are the same, but the second one can be sold at twice the price.
The Desert Eagle shown above is not a bullet made of gunpowder, but a special bullet that is filled with soul power using a special method. The bullet is equivalent to an energy storage device, and the gun is an energy release device.
In fact, the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan also designed the Desert Eagle 2.0, which does not require reloading bullets, and can be launched by the soul master directly inputting soul power. The bullet loading function of version 1.0 is also added above, and both functions are available, with a maximum usage limit of 70.
But! Desert Eagle 2.0 is definitely not for sale to the public.
First of all, the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan makes money by selling bullets, which is the same as selling printers cheaply and ink cartridges at high prices in Blue Star.
Secondly, the Desert Eagle 2.0 version does not need bullets. Once it is sold, the family cannot control it and it will threaten itself. The 1.0 version is different. If you dare to go against me, I will directly cut off your bullets and the things in your hands will become a pile of scrap metal.
Then, the announcer distributed Desert Eagles to the guests, allowing everyone to personally test its power.
"It's incredible, there are such magical treasures in the world!"
"If we are both exhausted during the fight, I can just take out the Desert Eagle and win!"
"Too cool and majestic, father, I want to buy all types of Desert Eagles and collect them."
"Well, well, well, once you have a Desert Eagle and have enough bullets, even an ordinary person without soul power can have a combat power of level 50. How can this be possible? Once it is promoted, those mud-legged bastards will rebel against me. How can I control them? How can I enjoy myself?" Some people were very scared, fearing that their own interests would be affected.
The emergence of soul guides has a huge impact on the soul master's cultivation system, seriously weakening the status of soul masters. It can enable ordinary people without soul power to have the ability to kill soul masters. The destruction of the soul guide civilization in the ancient times of Douluo Continent was probably more caused by soul masters.
Some people are optimistic. "Don't worry. Although ordinary people can use soul guides, their speed, reaction ability, accuracy, and physical fitness are not as good as soul masters. In a duel between the two, the soul master will definitely win."
"Besides, such a heaven-defying treasure must be sold at a very high price. Not to mention ordinary people without soul power, I'm afraid even most civilian soul masters can't afford it! It won't threaten our status."
Ning Fengzhi on the other side had already been thirsty for a long time. He took the Desert Eagle and couldn't let it go after testing it. "What a treasure! What a treasure! If all the disciples of my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can have one, I don't think anyone would dare to say that my clan is a support-type soul master without combat power!"
The announcer continued to explain the other types of soul guides. Every time he explained one, the guests in the audience were shocked. Ning Fengzhi was especially excited. "The flying ability of the Extreme Somersault Cloud is so strong, and there is also the Extreme Crossbow... These are simply treasures tailor-made for my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"
The cost of these soul guides with large-scale destructive capabilities is not low. For example, the Desert Eagle 2.0 version can produce a lot of level 50 power, but the cost of level 70 is very high.
In fact, this is normal. Soul Saints are at least in the upper-middle level no matter which force they are in.
Chapter 135: A huge profit, the Mission Pavilion further develops
"Stop introducing yourself, Mr. Press, can we go directly to the auction? I want 30 soul guides of all kinds!"
"Yes, yes! We absolutely believe in the credibility of the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan. I can't wait to get my hands on it!"
The people in the audience were extremely eager for the soul guide device. No matter what their purpose was, they all wanted to be the first to buy a soul guide device.
Seeing that everyone was so eager to give him money, Zhuang Jingxing had no reason to refuse. "Hahaha! Thank you all for your trust and support for my clan. Since everyone has made a request, I can't keep you waiting. The soul guide auction originally planned to be held tomorrow will start early after the press conference ends."
"Announcer, please speed up your introduction immediately and don't keep the guests waiting. Auctioneer, please get ready."
Soon, all types of soul guides were exhibited, introduced, and tried out.
The first auction of Douluo Continent soul guides has begun!
The auctioneer brought up a Desert Eagle 1.0 from the backstage. "Dear guests, everyone has tried this type of soul guide just now. Its functions are unrivaled in the continent and the world! I will not elaborate on it."
"But the Desert Eagle in my hand is not ordinary! It is the first soul guide weapon perfectly produced by my clan, and it is also the first soul guide weapon to be remade in the Douluo Continent in tens of thousands of years!"
"It not only represents the great achievements and outstanding contributions of the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan in the soul guide system, but also the pride of all creatures in the entire Douluo Continent. It represents the return of the soul guide civilization that has been lost for tens of thousands of years. It has created a new profession, [Soul Guide Refiner], and pointed out a second path for the human race outside the soul master practice system. It tells us that even if we cannot become a soul master without innate soul power, we still have the opportunity to become a noble soul guide refiner and can make contributions to the human race!"
"Everyone, look again. This gun has a number carved on it by our clan leader, Immortal Leopard Douluo: (Soul Guidance Device) Desert Eagle 00000000001, which means this is the first soul guidance device produced. Every soul guidance device produced by our clan has a different number engraved on it in a special way in sequence. No one in Douluo Continent can imitate it. The number on this gun is the first one."
"As the first item in this auction, this gun also comes with 0 rounds of various types of bullets from 50 to 9 for free!"
Zhuang Jingxing offered benefits to everyone at the main seat, "From now on, all soul guides purchased from our clan will be under warranty for half a year. If there is any damage caused by the quality of the soul guide during the warranty period, you can come to our clan or the sales point for repairs for free!"
"Today is a grand event in the world of soul masters. To celebrate this great achievement, I have decided to extend the warranty period of all items sold at today's auction to three years!"
The warranty for the goods sold was the first time in Douluo Continent. Moreover, the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan was the monopoly of soul guides, with no other divisions or competitors. They actually provided everyone with a warranty, which was really full of sincerity.
"I'll offer 1 gold soul coins!" Ning Fengzhi was the first to bid.
"I will offer you 2 million gold soul coins!"
……
After just a few bids, the price soared to 55 gold soul coins, which was normal. Not to mention that this was the first auction held by the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan for the entire continent, and the first auction item in the auction, the major forces would not lower the price in order to show their goodwill.
What's more important is that it's worth the price. In the original time and space, Tang San auctioned a low-end version of Innuendo in Tiandou City. It was very powerless and not even a Soul Master could do it. There were only a few arrows in it and it could only launch sneak attacks. Once the opponent defended a little, it would become ineffective. Yet it was sold for 10,000 gold soul coins.
Today, this Desert Eagle has a power of up to level 50, is easy and convenient to use, and not only does it come with valuable gifts, it also comes with a warranty.
More importantly, this is the first soul guide that has been perfectly made in tens of thousands of years. It has a huge collection value! It can show one's status! Besides interests, the aristocratic families also fight for face!
"I offer 400 million gold soul coins!" Yu Yuanzhen directly raised the price from 55 to 400 million gold soul coins, and looked at Zhuang Jingxing and Zhuang Xingyu in front of him in a slightly flattering manner, wanting to take the initiative to ease relations with the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan.
"400 million gold soul coins for one time, 400 million gold soul coins for two times. Are there any VIPs who want to increase the price?"
When the others saw Yu Yuanzhen's behavior and thought of the killing of Liu Erlong some time ago, they all understood that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan had surrendered and wanted to resolve the conflict between the two sides.
Zhuang Xingyu nodded to him, and the meaning was very clear. As long as you behave yourself, your Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan will not be implicated because of Liu Erlong.
This is the benefit of strength! If you hit someone, they will come and apologize to you.
Seeing that the Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan had accepted the other party's offer, the other forces stopped bidding and gave Yu Yuanzhen some face. Of course, there was also the factor that Yu Yuanzhen's bid was too high.
"Four million gold soul coins three times! Deal! Congratulations to this distinguished guest for winning this treasure!"
"The next soul guide is the Extreme Somersault Cloud." The auctioneer then took out 10 specially customized Somersault Clouds. "I think everyone has discovered the difference between these 10 Extreme Somersault Clouds and ordinary Somersault Clouds! These 10 Somersault Clouds have the appearance and color of seven-colored auspicious clouds, and they have other magical uses. I'll leave some mystery. VIPs can check them out after bidding, and there will definitely be surprises."
"Also, this type of Yakuza Somersault Cloud is a limited edition! Only 10 of these will be made, no more. The auction will begin now."
When the audience heard that it was a limited edition, they couldn't sit still and started to bid, "10 gold soul coins!"
"I'm offering 11 gold soul coins, Lao Wang, don't fight with me!"
"Who do you think you are? I'm going to order it! 12 gold soul coins."
The price soared all the way and was finally bought by Ning Fengzhi, Xue Ye and others.
In fact, strictly speaking, the people who came to this auction are basically the top leaders of all the major forces. The purpose of buying these goods is not to use them for themselves. The power is not as strong as that of the soul guides of the Soul Emperor, so they don’t really need them with their status and strength.
In addition to collecting and strengthening their power, they wanted to show their goodwill to the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan, spend more money here, and see if they can get the blueprints of the soul guides. Although they know this is unlikely, it would be great if they could get the exclusive sales contracts for a few soul guides! In this way, other forces don’t have it, but they do, and the gap is immediately revealed.
Two hours passed, and the bidding at the auction gradually died down. Zhuang Jingxing had already considered the situation that the major forces did not bring enough money. "If you don't have enough gold soul coins, you can buy now and pay later. You can pre-buy first and take the goods away when you go back to get the money."
"You can also use other treasures of equal value to offset it, such as precious medicine, self-created soul skills, land, iron ore, soul bones, intelligence, etc., all are fine!"
"Our clan also supports installment payments. The down payment must not be less than 35% of the product price, and the handling fee is only 3%. It is fair to everyone. After you swear with your martial spirit and sign the contract, you can take the soul guide away in advance! I believe in your credibility!"
I believe that no one would dare to blame the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan.
The auction enthusiasm of various forces was aroused again.
In a blink of an eye, it was already night and the inventory of the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan was almost emptied. The purchasing power of big forces was still strong!
The major forces have not left yet, because the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan has started the pre-sale mode. You place an order first, and I will sell the goods to you after the production is completed.
This allows production lines to be adjusted according to market demand, ensuring efficient use of resources.
