Chapter 29: Soft Golden Silk Armor

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He wanted to see how the blacksmiths hired by Treasure Pavilion would react when they saw the Soft Golden Silk Armor and see if they would still be as arrogant as before.

As those thoughts played in his mind, Wei Jiaming shouted, “Uncle Wei, stop playing around and show us your stuff. Let these country bumpkins take a good look at Unique Treasure Pavilion’s latest work!”

As soon as Wei Jiaming said that, many people turned their attention to him.

The spectators of the show were shocked. They immediately widened their eyes and looked toward the center with a serious face, afraid that they would miss something.

“Latest work? Have the people from Unique Treasure Hall already brought their defensive equipment for the competition?”

“This is going to be a good show to watch. I knew those old foxes wouldn’t issue a challenge without any preparation!”

“Don’t push me. You’re stepping on my foot!”

The surrounding audience exploded like a high-pressure pot. They began to speculate what kind of equipment the people of Unique Treasure Hall would present.

At Treasure Pavilion’s entrance, Wei Ying, who was urged by his nephew, immediately made a move.

On cue, the two cultivators standing behind Wei Ying took out an agarwood box and carefully handed it to him.

Wei Ying carried the wooden box to Gao Yue and said with a cold smile, “Today, I, Wei Ying, will give you ants an experience. Watch carefully!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the lid of the wooden box.

In an instant, a burst of green light came out of the wooden box. The dazzling light almost blinded the eyes of the people around them!

“Oh, my god! It’s actually a Premium-grade piece of equipment!”

At that moment, two gray-haired appraisers who had been standing silently by the side immediately cried out in shock. Their faces expressed their disbelief.

Meanwhile, the surrounding onlookers erupted in exclamations. They had never seen a piece of equipment above Rare-grade in their lives. When they saw a piece of Premium-Grade equipment with their own eyes, they were so excited that their bodies began to tremble.

On the other hand, Gao Yue, who was closest to Wei Ying, appeared livid. His eyes were wide open as he stared at the item in the box in disbelief. His entire body froze on the spot.

It was not that Gao Yue had never seen Premium-grade equipment before. In fact, when he had been an intern in Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters. He had even seen Epic-grade weapons at auctions.

What shocked him was the fact that Unique Treasure Hall managed to produce equipment of this grade.

After all, Unique Treasure Hall had only been in Shanglin City for less than two years, and it had yet to properly establish itself.

It was impossible for its people to forge Premium-grade equipment alone. Previously, Gao Yue had thought that even if the other party was prepared, they would only bring out Rare-grade equipment.

He never thought that they would be beyond prepared for something like this. He was instantly caught off guard.

Although Treasure Pavilion also had Premium-grade equipment, the equipment that came from the headquarters was bound. The headquarters would cast a binding spell on the equipment once customers bought them.

That had been Treasure Pavilion’s rule for more than ten years, and it was also the default rule of the major chambers of commerce.

Hence, Gao Yue had not been worried about the people of Unique Treasure Hall taking out Premium-grade equipment to cheat.

Regardless of whether it was stored or auctioned, blacksmiths would bind their equipment to protect their own interests.

Therefore, both sides could only bring forth their own forged equipment for competition. In short, it was impossible to ask for external help or hire an expert to forge equipment to cheat.

That also meant the high-grade equipment in front of him had truly been forged by the people from Unique Treasure Hall. Unbound equipment would only appear if the blacksmith himself intentionally made it so!

Once he internalized all those facts, Gao Yue’s expression became unsightly.

As Treasure Pavilion’s manager, he was clear about the standards and abilities of the blacksmiths under his banner.

No matter how much the three of them worked together, it would be impossible for them to forge Premium-grade equipment. That was an indisputable fact!

Looking at the expressions and states of the three blacksmiths, even the outsiders who were watching the show understood how they felt.

Wei Ying held the Soft Golden Silk Armor in his hand. As he observed Gao Yue’s expression, the smile on his face became wider.

“What now? Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t lose to us earlier? Do you still think that you have a chance of winning? Hahaha!”

At that moment, gloom permeated the hearts of the three blacksmiths. The confidence they had before was now in the gutter.

The three of them looked at the soft armor, which was emitting green light, in Wei Ying’s hand. They felt a burning pain on their faces.

It was impossible for them to forge equipment of this level. Even if they were given another year or ten years, they would not be able to forge it, let alone now.

Right then, they could only whisper to Manager Gao, “Store manager, you can’t do this. That guy has forged Premium-grade equipment. Winning this with our ability alone is out of the question!”

“Yeah, I didn’t expect those people from Unique Treasure Hall to go to this extent. I’m afraid we can’t do anything now.”

At that point, not only were three blacksmiths giving up, but even the appraiser beside them could not help but say, “This soft armor is made of gold threads. The energy inside is dense and has reached a high tier of Premium grade. I’m afraid that not many in the entire Shanglin City can forge something like that…”

Hearing the appraiser’s old voice, Gao Yue’s eyes unwittingly twitch for a moment.

He was a little regretful. He had underestimated Unique Treasure Hall’s determination to eliminate them. However, it was already too late to say that now.

The other party had brought out Premium-grade equipment. In the entire Treasure Pavilion, there was probably no one who could forge equipment that was stronger than this, unless the headquarters’ blacksmiths could come and help… Otherwise, there was no chance of him beating the other party in terms of forging.

Gao Yue racked his brains, but he could not think of any other way to win this competition. Faced with more than ten cameras, he frowned, feeling troubled.

Just as he felt that victory was out of his grasp, one person suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was Mr. Wu, who had refined the Interspatial Ring!

He felt that in such a situation, only the special consultant, Mr. Wu, could defeat their opponent.

After all, with the latter’s talent, he could even forge equipment that was as powerful as an Interspatial Ring. Even so, Premium-grade equipment should still be a challenge for him!

Thinking of him, Gao Yue suddenly raised his head and immediately took out his phone, preparing to call Mr. Wu to come and put out the fire.

When the blacksmiths of Unique Treasure Hall noticed that those from Treasure Pavilion seemed to be blank, they immediately laughed and said, “Why don’t the blacksmiths in Treasure Pavilion have any reaction now? Weren’t they shouting fiercely earlier? Why are they pretending to be dead now?”

“Tsk, tsk, they’re really two-faced. Is there no one capable in Treasure Pavilion? Just a piece of Soft Golden Silk Armor has scared all of you until you’ve become mute!”

The ten or so people from Unique Treasure Hall, who were surrounding the main gate, had looks of disdain on their faces. The leader, Wei Ying, was also sneering at Gao Yue.
