254: Passerby: Can the undead be used like this?

"First, the first item up for auction is the Golden Soul Bell, capable of controlling zombies. By injecting yin energy into this item, you can control those zombies active in the wilderness and fight for you..."

Listening to the Female Ghost in Qipao's introduction, Chen Ming couldn't help but wonder, "Zombies? Are you talking about... zombies?"

Chen Ming couldn't demand that the Huangquan Ghost Realm use the same term as him.

"Zombies?" Yin Qianqian wasn't sure if the zombies Chen Ming mentioned were the same as the zombies they understood.

Seeing this, Chen Ming explained, "Zombies are corpses that turn into monsters after death due to excessive yin energy. Since the corpses are very stiff, they can only move by hopping."

He tried to explain in terms Yin Qianqian could understand.

"According to what Master said, I think zombies and zombies should be the same type of ghost," Yin Qianqian replied.

"So that's it, a golden handheld bell that can control zombies? There have indeed been many similar items in movies and TV shows..." Chen Ming muttered to himself, his voice getting softer as he spoke.

This thing wasn't of much use to him, but it had significant collection value.

Maybe after returning to Blue Star, someone would fish up a zombie; the possibility was high.

Chen Ming had seen related chat records in the world chat channel before, but he hadn't looked into it closely.

"If Master wants that bell, I've also saved up quite a few huangquan coinss from running the inn over the years and would like to contribute," Yin Qianqian offered.

"Okay, if I need it, I'll definitely ask you." No matter what, her intentions were good, and Chen Ming wouldn't go so far as to suppress her with ten trillion huangquan coinss.

A moment later, the Female Ghost in Qipao, having finished detailing the Golden Soul Bell's function, announced the price, "Starting bid for the Golden Soul Bell, one hundred huangquan coinss."

"Only one hundred huangquan coinss? That's too cheap, right?" As someone visiting the Huangquan Auction House for the first time, it was natural to feel this way.

He had thought it would be at least tens of thousands.

"Cheap? Don't forget, this is an auction house. The starting bid doesn't represent the final transaction price. In short, it's not something we can casually participate in."

"I've seen this thing in movies; those corpse drivers often use it. If I can get it and take it back to Blue Star to control two zombies, I can definitely be promoted to a senior Hunter!"

"Sigh, don't even think about it at this stage. Stay longer, work more, earn more, and maybe there'll be a chance to pick up a bargain."

"Aren't you guys planning to leave?"

"If I leave without earning anything, then why did I come in?"

As everyone talked back and forth, the ghosts also began bidding competitively.

"Two hundred huangquan coinss!"

"Three hundred huangquan coinss!"

"Three hundred fifty huangquan coinss!"

...

The price increase trend wasn't obvious, with increments of fifty to one hundred.

The bidding frequency was quite high, one bid after another, quickly raising the price from the starting bid of one hundred huangquan coinss to three thousand.

The advantage of having many customers was immediately evident.

Chen Ming spat out the tea leaves in his mouth, reached out and put the teacup aside, then raised his hand and called out, "Thirty thousand huangquan coinss."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent for a moment, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The next second, it immediately became lively again.

"As expected of a major client on the fifth floor, he instantly increased the price tenfold!"

"Thirty thousand huangquan coinss! How rich is he?"

"Nonsense, if he wasn't rich, could he be on the fifth floor?"

"Sigh, it looks like I don't have a chance. I originally thought I could get it for under five thousand."

Facing the price of thirty thousand huangquan coinss, the ghosts were willing but unable.

However, the professional Hunters from Great Xia on the first floor all showed excited expressions.

"This voice, it's indeed the Undead Monarch!"

"It can't be wrong! Absolutely can't be wrong! If he's not the Undead Monarch, I'll eat shit while standing on my head!"

"I was going to say you shouldn't come here to get free food and drinks, but this voice is indeed very similar to the Undead Monarch's."

"As expected of the Undead Monarch, he suppressed the entire venue with one move."

"Isn't it normal for him to be rich when he has tens of millions of Undead he can use for work?"

"Holy cow! I've learned something. Undead can be used like this."

"Did this guy also draw a weakened version of the Undead Summoning skill? How else would he know so much?"

"I wish, but it's just a bunch of meaningless wild thoughts, don't mind it."

While they were chatting freely.

After confirming there were no more bids.

The Female Ghost in Qipao raised the wooden hammer in her hand and called out, "Thirty thousand huangquan coinss, going once!"

"Thirty thousand huangquan coinss, going twice!"

"Thirty thousand huangquan coinss, going three times! Congratulations to the guest in Sky Room Number Two on the fifth floor for successfully bidding on the Golden Soul Bell!"

Chen Ming won the Golden Soul Bell with an overwhelming advantage, unsurprisingly.

[Successfully spent thirty thousand huangquan coinss! Hundredfold rebate triggered, congratulations to the host for obtaining huangquan coinss +3,000,000!]

Within the auction city, the huangquan coinss were automatically deducted.

[Congratulations on successfully obtaining Golden Soul Bell +1!]

The treasure he bid on was also automatically sent to his system inventory, which was very convenient.

"The second item to be auctioned is an eighth-grade yin pill. After taking it, it can greatly increase ghostly energy..."

"An eighth-grade yin pill! It's comparable to the Ghost King's yin pill refined by the treasure gourd." Yin Qianqian immediately became interested.

"If you want it, I'll buy it for you?" Chen Ming asked.

"I want to try myself. If it's not enough, I'll ask Master for help." Yin Qianqian felt that she had already troubled Chen Ming enough and received enough blessings from him.

Occasionally, she also wanted to do what she could.

"Okay." Chen Ming didn't mind.

Just at this moment, in Sky Room Number One.

"An eighth-grade yin pill! As expected of the Huangquan Auction House, their scale is as grand as ever." Ghost Emperor Bai Mo's tone fluctuated slightly.

He was determined to get this eighth-grade yin pill.

The Ghost Emperor realm was not the end of his ghost life; he believed he could reach a higher level.

Before that, he had to use all available resources and seize every opportunity he could.

Bai Mo had an intense desire and strong obsession with becoming stronger.

"Eighth-grade yin pill, starting bid one hundred thousand huangquan coinss."

As soon as the Female Ghost in Qipao said this, the Hunters were instantly shocked.

"What's going on? The jump is too big, isn't it? The last item was only one hundred, and this is only the second item, directly starting at one hundred thousand?"

"Seeing how excited they are, this pill is probably worth a lot."

"One hundred thousand... How many dishes do I have to wash to earn this much?"

"The Undead Monarch shouldn't need this, right? And even if it's him, I think it would be hard for him to afford the price of one hundred thousand huangquan coinss."

"He's already awesome."

They talked among themselves.

The ghosts scrambled to call out prices.

"One hundred ten thousand huangquan coinss!"

"One hundred twenty thousand huangquan coinss!"

"One hundred thirty thousand huangquan coinss!"

...

At this price, the participants were basically guests from the third floor and above.

Guests from the second floor were very few, just a scattered few.
