Chapter 912: Artworks
A low-level soul artifact, even if the compatibility is high, has a very limited effect for Wei Xiaoxiong at present. So, without much thought, he gave the low-level soul artifact sent as a compensation by Augustine Nolan to his classmate Wu Jingyue. Wu Jingyue was naturally happy, as any feelings of displeasure from being bossed around by Wei Xiaoxiong disappeared instantly.
Wu Jingyue didn’t put on any airs; he simply stored away the soul artifact. As for the 6 million, he returned it to Wei Xiaoxiong.
Upon seeing this, Wei Xiaoxiong persuaded him a little before pocketing the money, silently noting: Knowing when to advance and retreat, understanding etiquette... Wu Jingyue truly is an ideal subordinate.
After one round of the auction ended, two sales clerks from the Qingyou Shop went backstage, seemingly discussing something. During the wait, Wu Jingyue thought for a moment and asked, "Xiaoxiong, what do you think the Augustine family is doing by going to such great lengths to buy back the soul device from the Green Glaze Master?"
This is indeed a question that piques curiosity. Wei Xiaoxiong considered the reasons and with a thought said, "I haven’t heard of any younger members in the Augustine family urgently needing a soul device upgrade. However, I have heard that this branch family member from the Augustine family is quite talented in soul artifact manufacturing. I guess he plans to buy it back to dismantle and research it."
Wu Jingyue was startled: "Talent in soul artifact manufacturing?"
Wei Xiaoxiong said, "So they say."
Wu Jingyue said, "To have talent in soul artifact manufacturing? That’s quite remarkable. If the Augustine family produces such a talent, it would disrupt the balance of the main powers within the Alliance."
Speaking, Wu Jingyue murmured, "No wonder the direct line of the Augustine family has been using resources to cultivate this kid, so that’s why."
Wei Xiaoxiong slightly lowered his gaze, saying, "It’s just talent, it remains uncertain whether they’ll be successful." Then, he raised his eyes and glanced towards the display platform, continuing, "It’s unfortunate that the Mid-level Soul Device was taken by unknown individuals. Otherwise, the research value of the Mid-level Soul Device is far more important than the disposable low-level soul artifact."
Luckily... It was taken by unknown individuals.
