Chapter 198 Heavy Water Shoes

Fire Captain believed Fang Yue's explanation.

After all, it was Fang Yue's first time attending the Black Crow Auction, and in terms of experience, he didn't have the discerning eye to judge good items.

But in reality, Fang Yue wasn't talking nonsense.

The so-called "take a gamble" was just to fool the Fire Captain.

In fact, before Fang Yue bid '20g of Black Ember', Fang Yue's Analysis Eyes had already completed the analysis of the Water-Treading Shoes.

"Name: Heavy Water Shoes."

"Grade: Mortal Grade Low-Rank."

"Effect: Shoes made of special materials, capable of absorbing water."

"Description: Usually lightweight shoes, they increase in weight by absorbing a large amount of water they come into contact with. It's like having lead weights on your feet, providing leg weight training, which is slightly helpful for cultivating leg techniques and qinggong (light body technique). At the same time, based on the characteristics of the shoes, one can quickly sink to the bottom of lakes and other special environments. Cooperating with the Heavy Water Shoes in this environment can slightly improve the cultivation efficiency of water-related cultivation methods."

"Note: My shoes, slightly heavy, slightly heavy."

In short, these are a pair of shoes that can absorb a lot of water.

By absorbing water, the shoes become heavier, increasing the weight on the legs, which aids in the cultivation of leg techniques like qinggong.

As for the water-related cultivation methods mentioned later, they refer to water-based martial skills and water-based mental cultivation techniques.

Fang Yue's Water Heaven Blade Art happened to meet the requirements.

However, according to the description, it also requires sinking to the bottom of a lake, practicing the blade there, and even holding one's breath.

In short, it's not very convenient, and the main focus is on the shoes' effect on leg training.

Not to mention that he can use them normally, he can also give them to Hua Wuye, who is good at agility, as a thank you gift for the Wumu Fruit.

Anyway, they were a bargain. Even if they turned out to be useless, selling them would definitely be worth more than 20g of Black Ember.

That's right, Fang Yue's bottom line for this thing was 20g of Black Ember.

But Luo Fatty jumped out to intercept, so Fang Yue naturally wouldn't be polite. He just doubled the price and sent him out.

These Heavy Water Shoes, although not rubbish, are just ordinary goods, and definitely not worth the high price of 10 Black Stones. He wondered what interesting expression would bloom on the face of the self-righteous Luo Fatty when he found out the truth.

However, this wasn't something Fang Yue needed to worry about.

At this time, the next auction item had already been pushed out.

But no one in the audience paid attention.

After Luo Fatty left, they all seemed to be secretly looking at him.

Even the host blinked his eyes, occasionally glancing at him.

What… are they doing?

It wasn't until Fang Yue put on an innocent look and made eye contact with others.

That they awkwardly withdrew their gazes.

As long as he wasn't embarrassed, then the others were!

By the time Fang Yue withdrew his gaze, few people dared to openly look at him.

The host then began to introduce the auction item.

It was still an unremarkable 'Human Grade High-Rank', but after introducing the auction item and announcing it, the scene was eerily silent.

They seemed to be waiting for something. No one bid for a long time, but people started to frequently turn their heads to look at Fang Yue again.

Fang Yue:?

When I typed a question mark, it wasn't because I thought I had a problem, but because I thought you had a problem.

"What's wrong?" Fire Captain asked strangely.

"They all seem to be looking at me."

"Oh, they're probably waiting for you to bid."

Fire Captain had seen Fang Yue's previous actions, and somewhat guessed what others were thinking.

Waiting for me to bid?

So they really treat me as a product verification machine?

Fang Yue raised his hand.

"Pass."

Host: ??!

Everyone: !!!

Pass? He's not bidding?

Everyone was a little confused.

Some people turned their heads quickly.

Does this… mean the thing on stage is a fake?

Everyone hesitated. After waiting for a while, someone began to tentatively bid.

But there were very few respondents, which made the host anxious.

But unfortunately, if others didn't bid, the host couldn't force them to bid. In the end, this auction item was auctioned off at a lower than expected price.

And the person who bought this item stared at the host suspiciously, seeming to feel that he had lost money.

Damn it!

Selling it at this price is almost a loss, and you still look at me like this!

The host was a little angry and secretly glanced at Fang Yue.

However, that was all.

Although he was a little annoyed by Fang Yue's lack of cooperation, he wouldn't do anything to Fang Yue because of this kind of thing, not to mention that Fire Captain was sitting next to Fang Yue.

The auction continued as usual. At first, everyone hesitantly looked at Fang Yue a few more times, wanting to judge something from Fang Yue's reaction.

But soon, they found that Fang Yue basically didn't bid.

A few times he did bid, they immediately raised the price like they had been injected with chicken blood, and ultimately failed to buy anything.

After doing this a few more times, they gradually became at a loss.

Because they found that Fang Yue didn't seem to have any special vision, and the things he bought were very trendy, and he no longer had the decisiveness to compete with Luo Fatty at the beginning.

"Could it be that the first auction item was completely because that kid didn't know the market and raised the price blindly? Or is that person a shill specially arranged by the Black Crow Auction today?"

This wasn't impossible, mainly because Fang Yue was unfamiliar and his background was unknown.

As for asking Fire Captain… not to mention whether others would answer, they couldn't bear Fire Captain's temper.

The members of those merchant groups were slightly stunned, and their speed suddenly slowed down a lot.

At this time, Luo Fatty, who had rushed into the auction house, rushed towards Fang Yue with bloodshot eyes, roaring like a madman.

"You! You!!"

Only then did people notice that the frantic Luo Fatty was holding the Water-Treading Shoes he had just auctioned in his left hand, and the big axe they had noticed at the beginning in his right hand.

Like a mad bull, after approaching a certain distance, Luo Fatty suddenly jumped high, landed in front of Fang Yue, and turned around and threw the Water-Treading Shoes at Fang Yue.

"You! You! You're a liar! These shoes are fake! I bought fake goods for 10 Black Stones! I want you to pay with your life!!"

He panted heavily, his whole body trembling, like a gambler who had failed a big bet, his reason had long been overwhelmed by anger.

While speaking, Luo Fatty had already chopped his axe towards Fang Yue's head.

However, Fang Yue didn't dodge.

He just sat there calmly, motionless.

Because someone shot faster than him.

Those were a pair of extremely beautiful hands.

Gently extending two fingers, they steadily clamped the axe that was chopping over with endless anger, completely stopping the axe in mid-air, without moving!

In the next moment, two fingers gradually lit up with fine lines…

"Luo Fatty, who gave you the guts to dare to hurt people in front of me?"

Sizzle!

The all-metal axe clamped by two fingers melted into drops of molten iron, dripping to the ground.
