Exploiting a Loophole in the System!

When Flowing Cloud's consciousness entered the System Space, he saw a Blood-colored Scroll suspended in the void.

Roar!

At such close range to the scroll, Flowing Cloud seemed to hear the furious roars of countless beasts, shaking his mind.

As expected of a Heavenly Tier Cultivation Technique—it was truly extraordinary!

Just then, Flowing Cloud sensed approaching footsteps and immediately withdrew his consciousness from the System Space.

When he came to, he saw Ya Fei entering the private room.

With a charming smile still on her beautiful face, Ya Fei said with a smile, "Young Master, this auction has concluded!"

"Sister Ya Fei, with your abilities, you are more than capable of expanding the Mittel Auction House."

"The family made the right choice in appointing you to manage this place."

Hearing this, Flowing Cloud nodded. He had already witnessed Ya Fei's capabilities just now, and this auction could be considered highly successful.

The Golden Empress truly lived up to her reputation!

"You flatter me, Young Master!"

A faint delight rose in Ya Fei's heart at his words.

Flowing Cloud's words undoubtedly acknowledged her ability.

As the Young Master of the Mite'er Family, if she could earn his approval, she would surely be entrusted with greater responsibilities in the future.

If that happened, she would be able to achieve her goal.

Although she was somewhat excited inside, Ya Fei maintained her elegant smile.

Naturally, Flowing Cloud knew nothing of Ya Fei's little thoughts.

"Sister Ya Fei, what is planned for the next auction?"

Flowing Cloud asked Ya Fei with a smile.

He had already gotten a taste of the benefits from this auction.

If auctions like this could be held every day, wouldn't that be amazing? It wouldn't be long before I became invincible across the Dou Qi Continent.

Ya Fei was taken aback. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Young Master, the next auction will have to wait until next month."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Flowing Cloud froze, then frowned deeply.

"Why do we have to wait so long?"

Only one auction a month? What the hell am I supposed to do with that?

Flowing Cloud had already tasted the benefits brought by the auction system.

He wished he could remain at an auction at every moment.

That way, he could obtain endless treasures at every moment.

Yet Ya Fei was saying that the next auction could only be held next month.

How could Flowing Cloud possibly accept that?

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Flowing Cloud's tone, Ya Fei could not help but reveal a bitter smile on her exquisite face.

"Young Master, the Mittel Auction House has always held auctions only once a month."

"An auction is different from an ordinary marketplace. What matters is quality, not quantity. Only then can it be appealing."

"We also spent a tremendous amount of effort preparing the items for this auction."

"In a short period of time, I am afraid we will be unable to gather any appealing treasures."

Ya Fei slowly explained.

After hearing Ya Fei's explanation, Flowing Cloud finally understood.

So, holding an auction required so much preparation.

No wonder this auction had ended after selling only four items.

Wutan City was, after all, a small place. Given Ya Fei's capabilities, it had already been no easy feat for her to prepare the items for this auction.

In the short term, it would likely be difficult to find auction items of such quality.

If the quality were lowered, it would undoubtedly damage the Mittel Auction House's reputation and greatly reduce its appeal to outsiders.

Thinking of this, Flowing Cloud frowned tightly, feeling somewhat troubled.

No matter what, he could not accept holding an auction only once a month.

With the Auction Ten Thousand Times Return System, only by holding as many auctions as possible could he obtain greater benefits.

Holding an auction only once a month—wouldn't that be a complete waste of the system's abilities?

Flowing Cloud absolutely refused to do something so wasteful.

After pondering for a moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Flowing Cloud's mind.

The reason auctions could not be held frequently was nothing more than a lack of high-quality auction items.

In that case, wouldn't it be enough if he could provide such items himself?

In an instant, Flowing Cloud thought of the Profound Origin Pill, Ice Soul Sword, Sky Covering Palm, and Myriad Beasts True Scripture in his System Space!

If he used these items as the finale of an auction, that auction would definitely be appealing.

However, Flowing Cloud planned to keep the Profound Origin Pill for himself to consume.

As for the Sky Covering Palm and the Myriad Beasts True Scripture, they were far too precious, and Flowing Cloud did not want to put them up for auction.

In fact, even if Flowing Cloud wanted to auction them, no one in tiny Wutan City likely possessed the means to buy them.

Perhaps they would even attract the covetous eyes of other experts because of the treasures they possessed, bringing catastrophic disaster upon the Mittel Auction House.

Therefore, Flowing Cloud had long decided that he would not reveal these things before he possessed sufficient strength to protect himself.

Excluding those, the only thing Flowing Cloud could offer was the Third-Grade Demonic Core Weapon, the Ice Soul Sword.

Come to think of it, Flowing Cloud did not know how to use a sword, so the Ice Soul Sword would be of no use in his hands.

Therefore, he did not feel any heartache over auctioning it off.

However, the system had long imposed a restriction: items returned by the system could not trigger the return mechanism if auctioned again.

This restriction immediately gave Flowing Cloud a headache.

Although he had no use for the Ice Soul Sword, it was still a Third-Grade Demonic Core Weapon!

If it could trigger the return mechanism and receive a Ten Thousand Times Return, he might even obtain a Demonic Core Weapon no weaker than a Seventh-Grade one!

By that logic, it was as if Flowing Cloud were directly losing a Seventh-Grade Demonic Core Weapon!

A Seventh-Grade Demonic Core Weapon!

Thinking of it that way, Flowing Cloud could not help feeling a little pained.

How wonderful would it be if the system did not have this restriction?

Hm?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Flowing Cloud's mind.

If he exchanged an item returned by the system for another item, then put that new item up for auction, could it trigger the return mechanism again?

After all, if he traded one item for another, the item he received in exchange would not count as something returned by the system.

As soon as this thought arose, Flowing Cloud immediately felt that it was feasible, and a trace of excitement appeared in his eyes.

If it truly worked, he would have found a loophole in the system and gained limitless benefits.

Whether it worked or not, he would only know after trying.

Even if it did not work, he would not lose anything.

After giving it some thought, Flowing Cloud already had a plan.

He looked at Ya Fei beside him and said seriously, "Sister Ya Fei, I want to hold the next auction in half a month."

Ya Fei's lovely face froze slightly at his words, then she revealed a troubled expression. "Young Master, in half a month, I truly cannot gather suitable auction items..."

"I'll handle that."

Flowing Cloud directly interrupted Ya Fei, speaking with complete confidence.

"You only need to do your best with the arrangements. Leave the auction items to me."

"But... Young Master..."

After hearing Flowing Cloud's words, Ya Fei seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

"Sister Ya Fei, rest assured. I will not gamble with the auction house's future."

Flowing Cloud naturally understood what Ya Fei was thinking and gave her his assurance directly.

"I guarantee that this batch of auction items will not be inferior in quality to those from this auction."

Seeing the confidence on Flowing Cloud's face, Ya Fei's expression eased somewhat. She looked deeply at him, then said, "In that case, Ya Fei obeys!"
