Chapter 3357: Auction House

“Aren’t you fearless? It’s just five hundred merit points,” Mei Ziqing said with a sidelong glance.

Ning Shu and Mei Ziqing headed to the auction house.

There was a long line at the entrance.

All the task-takers in line had solid, well-formed souls.

Mei Ziqing and Ning Shu had no choice but to queue up at the back, going up on their tiptoes to see the front.

The line moved quickly—paying the five-hundred-merit entry fee was just a simple card swipe.

Ning Shu picked up a flyer from the ground and read through the information about the auction.

The final highlight was a super mysterious auction item. Ning Shu asked Mei Ziqing, “What do you think it’ll be?”

“Who cares? I can’t afford it anyway. I’m just here to watch the show,” Mei Ziqing said indifferently.

Ning Shu rolled her eyes. So boring—how could she have no curiosity at all? Like a salted fish.

Finally, it was their turn. Each paid five hundred merit points and entered the auction house.

The auction house was enormous, with many private rooms, but Ning Shu and Mei Ziqing could only sit in the back row. Ning Shu knew she probably couldn’t afford anything here—she was just here to broaden her horizons.

Each seat had a booklet listing the auction items.

Some items could be bought with merit points or faith power, while others required an exchange of soul power.

Ning Shu remained expressionless—this was the best way to hide the fact that she was a clueless bumpkin who had never seen such things before.

“Soul power—does that mean exchanging your own soul power?” Ning Shu couldn’t help but ask Mei Ziqing.

Could soul power really be used as currency just like merit and faith power?

“Of course. There are tools that can measure soul power. Everything can be traded.”

“What about personality and dignity? I don’t have much else, but I’ve got plenty of those,” Ning Shu asked.

Mei Ziqing: “Uh… maybe someone out there would be interested in buying your personality and dignity.”

The auction began, and the auctioneer was a shriveled old man with an unremarkable appearance, his skin wrinkled like old tree bark.

He was expressionless.

He seemed to be a very unappealing old man.

Yet the moment he stepped onto the stage, the entire auction house fell silent.

This old man was no ordinary person.

He walked up, raised his gavel, and knocked once. “First auction item—the heart of true love. Starting price: thirty thousand faith points.”

No opening speech, no nonsense. He immediately announced the first auction item.

This old man was really…

It was Ning Shu’s first time seeing an auctioneer like this.

“No one bidding? Then the heart of true love is unsold. Moving on to the next item…”

Only then did the crowd react and start bidding.

“Thirty-one thousand faith points!”

“Thirty-one thousand five hundred faith points!”

Ning Shu: …

This auctioneer really had personality.

The heart of true love—Ning Shu looked at the heart that was purer and more translucent than a diamond, still beating with a steady rhythm.

The old auctioneer didn’t introduce any basic information about the auction items at all, so Ning Shu checked the auction details.

Hearts of purity, such as the heart of true love or the heart of loyalty…

These were all pure forms of power that could make the soul more resilient and strong.

It was equivalent to an extra layer of reinforcement for the soul.

Ning Shu slapped Mei Ziqing’s thigh—no wonder 2333 coveted the heart of loyalty.

So that was what it does.

“Why are you hitting me?” Mei Ziqing glanced sideways at Ning Shu.

“I just suddenly remembered something.”

In the end, the heart of true love was won by a task-taker for thirty-five thousand faith points.

The old auctioneer said expressionlessly, “Congratulations to No. 45 for winning the heart of true love.”
