Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Chapter 1096: Radiant Sage Suit

In the other dimension, Shenglong Star, Shenglong Royal Auction House.

“The next lot is a superb piece of equipment!” The auctioneer announced loudly on the platform. “This is a godly item! A real godly item! An unquestionably godly item! It’s not just a godly item, it’s also part of a godly suit!” Here, the auctioneer paused and waited until everyone’s curiosity was piqued before saying aloud, “Vambrace of the Radiant Sage!”

As the auctioneer finished his introduction, many Shenglong royals sitting below sucked in a sharp breath.

Bei Mingxuan chuckled and glanced at the Old Madam Hua Yueling from the Hong Family. “Hua Yueling, what do you think? You should have some opinions about this piece of equipment? Haha, I’m not afraid to tell you that I’m determined to get it.”

Hua Yueling snorted softly and did not say anything.

It was a given that they would hike up the price of the item. The question was by how much. Bei Mingxuan had made it clear that he wanted to buy it. But, it was a want, not a need. Because it was not the Bei Family who had the rest of the Radiant Sage Suit, it was the Zhu Family!

So now, if Hua Yueling really raised the price too high, as soon as the other party gave up, this useless piece of equipment would end up hers.

There was no point in getting it.

“Stop talking nonsense and get ready to bid.” Hua Yueling pounded the ground with her walking stick.

“Of course, hehe.” Bei Mingxuan smiled and waited for the bidding to start.

“Radiant Sage Suit Vambrace. Godly-level suit. Strength +120, Agility +150, Reflexes +110. Of course, the attributes increases are so-so. The key is its special effect—ability resistance increased by 10%, ability amplification increased by 10%! Attributes for four pieces: Ability resistance increased by 15%, Ability amplification increased by 20%!” The Auctioneer announced. “There’s no need to further elaborate how godly this piece of equipment is. Now, I hereby announce the starting bid for the Radiant Sage Suit Vambrace at 300 million. The bidding starts!”

“Five hundred million.” Bei Mingxuan raised his card immediately.

“One billion.” Hua Yueling was a person who spent money without a second thought. She did not even wait for other people to start bidding before directly raising the price to one billion.

“Gutsy.” Bei Mingxuan gave Hua Yueling a thumbs up. “It looks like you intend to push the price way up.”

“Do you think I don’t know what you are scheming?” Hua Yueling smiled disdainfully. “Zhu Yunzhou already has three pieces of this equipment. With this vambrace, that will make four pieces. It will increase the overall ability level by one level. Am I right?”

“Yes, you seem to have done your homework.” Bei Mingxuan laughed. “Let’s continue. Two billion.”

“Three billion.” Hua Yueling’s expression did not change.

“Four billion.” Everyone knew about the upcoming duel between the Hong and Bei families. The outcome was obvious. The losing family would be completely taken over by the winner. So, in order to increase their chances of winning, Bei Mingxuan believed that Zhu Yunzhou would definitely not mind paying for this.

“I give up.” Hua Yueling snorted softly and stopped talking.

“Aiyo, why are you not trying to outbid me?” Bei Mingxuan laughed loudly. “It’s not your style to pull back at a time like this.”

“To you, it’s a treasure. To the Hong Family, it’s rubbish,” Hua Yueling replied, then stopped talking.

...

Bei Mingxuan sat in the Zhu Family reception hall with his leg crossed, leisurely drinking a beverage and humming.

He was in a very good mood.

This morning, he was a little unhappy after hearing that Bei Yuanqing had been defeated by Hong Dali. However, he felt like he had gained something to compensate for that loss. Bei Yuanqing had been disgraced, but he managed to defeat Hua Yueling at the Shenglong Royal Auction House and buy a superb piece of equipment!

Radiant Sage Suit!

“Old Bei, why are you looking for me so urgently? Do you have good news for me?” Zhu Yunzhou entered the hall and sat down on the sofa. He picked up a can of beverage and started drinking. Looking at Bei Mingxuan, he said, “You know that I’m studying the secret manuals.”

“Hehe, I would not bother you if I didn’t have good news.” Bei Mingxuan laughed, then took out a piece of equipment from the space bracelet on his wrist. He threw it over. “I got it at the Shenglong Royal Auction House. It should come in useful for you?”

“This... this is...” After taking the equipment, Zhu Yunzhou was stunned for a while, then rejoiced. “Radiant Sage Suit!”

“Yes.” Bei Mingxuan nodded. “If I remember correctly, you should already have three pieces, right?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Zhu Yunzhou held the piece of Radiant Sage equipment in his hands lovingly. “I have the helmet, cuirass, and greaves. This is the vambrace. With this, I can have the best four-piece set attributes!”

With these four pieces of the suit, the possibility of Zhu Yunzhou winning the duel was at least 20% higher!

“Great! With this equipment, I will step all over that old man Hong Xingyu. Hahahaha!” Zhu Yunzhou laughed and said, “His main attack is his ability. The Pixel Soul Stone is indeed a very powerful soul stone. It can turn whatever it touches into pixel-like particles which can then be blown apart. Although my defensive barrier is very strong, it has no advantage against his ability. It’s different now. With this, he might not even be strong enough to break through my defense. Watch and see how I take care of him then. Hahaha!”

The Hong, Zhu, and Bei families were the top three families. They knew each other’s abilities inside out. What Zhu Yunzhou was most worried about previously was that it would be hard to deal with Hong Xingyu’s ability. Now that he had this...

“Lao Bei, thank you so much. State a price.” Zhu Yunzhou was in a good mood. He leaned back on the sofa and smiled. “How much is it?”

“There’s no need for nonsense with the relationship between our families. Four billion.” Bei Mingxuan made an OK sign and said, “Cost price. That’s the price I bought it for at the auction.”

“I’ll give you 5 billion.” Zhu Yunzhou took out his bank card and transferred 5 billion to Bei Mingxuan. He then said, “If you see any more superb equipment, remember to help me buy it. I will pay you after that.”

“No problem. Once you kill the old man Hong Xingyu, the Hong Family’s assets will be ours.” Bei Mingxuan’s eyes brightened. “All this is just spare change now. What we should focus on is the Hong Family’s fortune. Trillions of assets!”

“That’s right.” Zhu Yunzhou nodded. “Okay, I’m going to continue training and cultivating. I already made a little headway and I believe I can succeed soon, hehe.”

“Yes, go now.”

...

The Zhu and Bei families had completely merged. At the same time, in the Hong Family Manor.

“Haha, this is a great success.” Hong Weiguo, Hong Jianye, and the others were seated in the small conference room in the Hong Family Manor. Looking at Hua Yueling, Hong Weiguo laughed. “We got 4 billion out of them for a small piece of equipment. That’s not bad.”

“Well, I didn’t raise the price too high. After all, if we end up with it, it will not do.” Hua Yueling nodded. “But I still have to make sure. Are you sure there will be top-grade equipment among the equipment Hong Dali will be opening at the Tianyuan Martial Arts Stadium tomorrow night? Better than the Radiant Sage Suit?”

The Radiant Sage Suit was already one of the best sets there was. What was most important was its ability to increase the wearer’s resistance to abilities and also increase the power of the wearer’s abilities. It was much better than Hua Xiangyu’s Wings of Starry Sky.

A single piece was just average. But if one had a full set, it would be terrifying.

“Relax.” Hong Jianye chuckled. “Dali will definitely have a way. Going up against us, Dali will toy with them till they’re dead!”

...

“Phew, it’s finally quiet.” Hong Dali let out a long breath and laid down on the sofa.

Honestly speaking, people, especially men, had strong memories of their first crush. When he was in university, Fang Ziying was very popular. She had numerous suitors. He was just a poor kid who owned nothing. He had no background and no power. It was normal that she would not be interested in him.

Every dog had its day, one should not look down on a youth who was poor. Sayings like those were meaningless to Hong Dali. Before he transmigrated, he dared not even think about such possibilities.

After all, not everyone in this world had the opportunity to cheat.

“I hope she’s living a good life.” Hong Dali muttered.

There was a kind of love called letting go. Hong Dali already had five amazing people with whom he had confirmed relationships with. He would not be lacking this one. It did not matter.

“Hehe, let’s see if there is anything interesting at the Store.” Hong Dali pulled out the System menu decisively and entered the System Store. Then, he saw something in the mall that wowed him!

Hong Dali had been around and seen things. However, what was sold in this store was of a completely different level when compared to regular things.

There were four sections in the store: Attribute, Equipment, Ability, and Pedigree.

He looked at the first section, Attribute. The first thing that could be exchanged with achievement points was attribute point upper limit expansion. The attribute point upper limit expansion consumed 10 achievement points. It allowed the host’s attribute point upper limit on his original dimension to exceed 100 points, capped at 1,000. The rest were all for the increase of Strength, Agility, and Reflexes. Basically, one achievement point could be exchanged for 10 attribute points. After that, the next items were for upper limit expansion of attribute points. That would consume 20 attribute points. Raising the maximum number of attribute points to 10,000 would consume 50 achievement points.

As a prodigal, attribute points were always needed. However, they were not of much significance—the difference between added attributes and the Star Knight’s attributes was simply too big. He would think about exchanging for attribute points when he had more achievement points in the future.

As a qualified prodigal, Hong Dali’s head was quite clear.

What was most important at this stage? It was the duel between Hong Xingyu and Zhu Yunzhou three months later, of course. If Hong Xingyu lost the duel, the Hong Family would fall. How would he squander then?

Therefore, Hong Dali went straight to the Equipment section—equipment, when it was time for the duel, Hong Xingyu could wear a full set of top-grade equipment that Hong Dali exchanged from the System. Hehehe. It would definitely overwhelm the opponent!

The equipment in the store amazed Hong Dali—the whole store was full of suits! They were without a doubt, Suit Equipment!
