Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The news of Count Bruno’s death quickly spread. This kind of thing could not be kept as a secret.

“Have you heard that Count Bruno was killed? We don’t even know who the murderer is!”

“There’s such a thing? Damn… The person who killed him is such a hero. It’s really satisfying to see him get rid of evil for the people!”

“That’s right. Bruno has relied on his family background to commit evil deeds everywhere. No one has ever been able to restrain him. This is satisfying!”

Not only the people living around Bruno’s territory, but even the residents far away in the Imperial City clapped and cheered when they heard this.

Bruno had been too arrogant and despotic in the past, and had long aroused public anger.

No one felt sad for his death. They had even been looking forward to this day.

On the other hand, Fang Ping, who had personally completed this matter, did not show off too much after returning to the Imperial City.

He did not even tell Count Manstein about this. He kept it to himself.

Keeping a low profile, developing slowly, and hiding his achievements and fame was Fang Ping’s goal in this world.

In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed. During this period, Fang Ping’s life returned to peace.

Every day, other than cultivating, he would learn about the information of this world to prevent himself from encountering completely unfamiliar opponents in the future.

Fang Ping felt that it was a pity that he had never met a suitable investment target. The system had never appeared once.

At this moment, news of the frontline battlefield reached the Imperial City.

The moment they received the news, the entire city was in an uproar.

According to the news, the vampire army at the front line had been completely defeated by the orc army.

They even fled hundreds of miles back. Countless of them died on the way.

Meanwhile, the orc army advanced triumphantly and successfully entered the interior of the Vampire Kingdom.

From the border all the way to more than 50 cities, wherever they passed, there was burning, killing, and looting, and blood flowed like a river.

It was not until a duke expert rushed to the front line in the past few days that he finally stopped the orc army with his powerful personal strength.

But even so, the vampires had suffered too much in this war.

As a result, everyone in the city was worried that they would suddenly be transferred to the front line one day.

War was a meat grinder. Even a marquis could not guarantee that he would survive the battlefield.

Due to the defeat at the frontline, the situation in the city became exceptionally tense. There were even some people who were panicking.

This news made Fang Ping feel a sense of urgency.

Currently, his strength could already defeat a count, but he was still too weak.

The most powerful expert in this world was a Duke!

“I have to think of a way to increase my strength. My current strength is still too weak!”

If he wanted to increase his strength as quickly as possible in a short period of time, the best way was naturally to consume heavenly treasures or buy powerful weapons.

Hence, after asking around, Fang Ping learned that a large-scale auction would be held in this city soon.

After paying a considerable entrance fee, Fang Ping got an admission ticket and prepared to try his luck at the auction.

The night before the auction began, an unexpected guest came to Fang Ping’s house.

“Manstein? Why are you suddenly looking for me? Where have you been recently? Is there anything I can help you with?”

The two of them had become very good friends a long time ago. Even without the investment system, Fang Ping was still willing to take the initiative to help Manstein out of a tough spot.

“Haha, can’t I look for you for no reason?”

Manstein smiled and suddenly whispered into Fang Ping’s ear.

“You were the one who killed Count Bruno in his castle two months ago, weren’t you?”

Hearing this, Fang Ping was shocked.

“You can’t say that. When have I ever done such a thing?!”

Manstein immediately understood.

“I know, I know!”

Fang Ping glared at him angrily. What if someone heard him through the wall!

Then, Manstein suddenly took out a money bag. Inside were not gold coins, but purple gold coins!

One purple gold coin was equivalent to a hundred gold coins!

There were about a few hundred purple gold coins in this bag, which was equivalent to tens of thousands of gold coins!

The average income of most people in the city was only a few gold coins a year!

This was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

“What are you doing? I don’t lack money now.”

Fang Ping immediately rejected Manstein’s offer. The sum was too great for him to receive.

Manstein said with a serious expression.

“Fang Ping, I know everything you’ve done for me. Although you’ve never told me, I trust my own judgment.

“If you hadn’t appeared, I might have lost my life.

“So what’s the big deal?

“There will be an auction in two days. You should be planning to go to the auction to buy something good, right?”

Fang Ping was shocked.

“How do you know that?”

“Haha, if I said that I guessed it, would you believe me?”

“Take it. This is a token of my sincerity. Besides, don’t think that I don’t have any selfish motives. If you become stronger, I’ll be able to look for you more confidently when I’m in trouble in the future!”

After Manstein’s insistence and persuasion, Fang Ping finally accepted the money bag.

This huge sum of money instantly increased Fang Ping’s current funds by ten times.

The auction officially began the next afternoon. Fang Ping entered the venue with his pockets full.

As expected of the Vampire Imperial City’s auction, there were all kinds of good things and top-notch magic treasures.

There were even people auctioning off the blood essence of nobles that could help vampires advance!

He even saw the blood essence of a marquis here!

How crazy!

And this drop of blood essence was sold for a sky-high price of 50,000 gold coins at the auction!

Although he had seen enough of the excitement, Fang Ping still felt a little regretful.

He did not come here to watch the show, but to buy some good things for himself to increase his strength.

However, the auction was already halfway through, and there was still nothing suitable for Fang Ping to use.

This was all related to Fang Ping’s identity as a member of the Skeleton Race!

Most of the items auctioned here could not be used by the Skeleton Race at all. Many items required blood verification!

But how could a skeleton have any blood?

“I am simply being targeted by the heavens! No wonder it’s rare for experts to appear in the Skeleton Race. Cultivation is a problem. It depends on talent!”

Just when Fang Ping was disappointed with the auction and thought that he might return empty-handed today.

The auctioneer’s voice sounded on the auction stage, and a red egg appeared in everyone’s sight at the same time.

On the surface of the egg, there was a purple light indicated by the system!

“The next item is something special we prepared for this auction.

“Our appraiser is unable to determine what kind of demon beast this egg belongs to, so he’s taking a gamble. Let’s start auctioning this egg now.

“The starting price is 100 gold coins!”
