Mass Production

Quan Yi came to the Auction House specifically to auction Bicycle.

The main purpose was to observe the bidders' reactions and to promote the Bicycle itself.

This concerns Quan Yi's next plan.

The results of this investigation also greatly satisfied Quan Yi.

High-quality Bicycle also hold a certain appeal for people in the upper class.

This gave Quan Yi some expectations for future developments.

Only thirty minutes had passed since Quan Yi's Bicycle was sold, during the two-hour Premium Auction.

Quan Yi and Huo Wu seemed uninterested in the remaining items up for auction.

After watching the bidding for two or three items, they left the Auction Center together with the other departing participants.

As they walked out of the Auction Center, Quan Yi and Huo Wu both breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Wu turned to look at the tightly closed door and said, "The inside and the outside are like two completely different worlds."

Indeed, Quan Yi now felt that his mind had become much clearer.

At this moment, Quan Yi just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

After spending the entire afternoon there, the atmosphere began to make Quan Yi feel uncomfortable.

"Let's go."

Just as Quan Yi was about to pull Huo Wu away from the Auction House, a beautiful girl in a silver dress walked towards them from the entrance.

The girl in the silver dress was not dressed provocatively.

Upon Quan Yi thought to himself, 'Just how many types of female service staff does this Auction House have?'

"Distinguished guests, Manager Zheng would like to invite you both." He then made a respectful gesture of invitation.

Quan Yi was slightly surprised, but considering that he had scheduled the Bicycle auction for the evening, he felt it was necessary to have a proper talk with him.

Quan Yi nodded in acknowledgment and followed the girl in the silver dress back to the supervisor's office.

Zheng Xiao entered the room, walked quickly from his desk to the two of them, and then apologized to Quan Yi and Huo Wu with a face full of remorse.

"Distinguished guests, I am truly sorry. I sincerely apologize to you both for this auction."

Due to my oversight, you two suffered a loss of some profits. As compensation, our Auction House will not charge you any handling fees this time.

The 120,000 Gold Soul Coin transacted have been deposited into your Savings Account.

As he spoke, Zheng Xiao stood up and bowed slightly to Quan Yi and Huo Wu.

Quan Yi reached out and quickly helped Zheng Xiao up, saying, "This is not Manager Zheng's fault. Various unexpected events can happen during the bidding process, which is beyond our control."

Zheng Xiao said, "However, this incident was all because I suggested that the two of you delay until the Premium Auction, so I bear an inescapable responsibility."

"Not charging a handling fee is simply to express my apology; please accept this."

Zheng Xiao's attitude was very sincere, and the compensation offered was also very generous.

Although the Auction House is wealthy and powerful, the handling fee of 12,000 Gold Soul Coin is not a small amount.

Quan Yi's impression of Zheng Xiao improved significantly; he greatly admired Quan Yi's professionalism.

"In that case, I will accept Manager Zheng's compensation. And this matter ends here."

Quan Yi smiled and extended his hand, and Zheng Xiao also smiled and shook hands with Quan Yi.

Accepting the apology from the Auction House, Quan Yi and Huo Wu bid farewell to Zheng Xiao and left the Auction House.

Over the next month, under Quan Yi's watchful eye, things progressed in the direction he had hoped for, and even exceeded his expectations.

According to the intelligence gathered by Quan Yi, the Prince of the kingdom had ridden that Bicycle in public on several occasions.

Even more outrageous, the Prince cleared the main road connecting the East Gate and west gates specifically to test the Bicycle's performance.

He also invited several Soul Emperor and Spirit Saint of Agility Attack System Soul Master to participate in a speed test with him.

This unique competition attracted the attention of many city residents.

With the Prince's tireless promotion, a large number of people gathered along the entire road on the day of the competition.

Initially, the people had no hope for the Prince.

Because the Saus Royal Family's inherited Martial Soul is the Scepter Martial Soul.

As Tool Martial Soul, this type of Martial Soul does not provide the same boost to the body as other Agility Attack System Beast Martial Soul.

In such a long-distance run across the entire city, they are at a complete disadvantage.

They didn't believe that something called Bicycle could bridge that gap.

However, when the Prince rode that Bicycle, crossing the entire city at a speed that other Agility Attack System Soul Master could only dream of.

People's understanding of Bicycle has undergone a dramatic change.

From then on, many people began to inquire about the origin of the Bicycle.

Even many Blacksmith Shop in the city began to imitate Bicycle.

However, Bicycle, though they look simple, are actually very complicated to make.

Tires and Bicycle chains, in particular, may seem simple, but without some knowledge and skill, the final product can be quite disappointing.

Finally, after a month of hard work, some Blacksmith Shop were able to produce pure iron Bicycle through hand forging.

The entire vehicle body, including the tires, is forged from Refined Iron.

However, the final riding experience was a huge disappointment to everyone.

Pure iron tires, which lack elasticity, wear out very easily and cannot generate friction with the ground.

Moreover, the chain and gears cannot be perfectly matched, resulting in constant problems during operation.

However, even so, this replica was bought by a wealthy man for over Gold Soul Coin.

By this time, the Blacksmith Shop in the city with a certain level of skill had keenly sensed the business opportunity.

Many companies are trying to shift their business to Bicycle production.

The Quan Family Blacksmith Shop, the underground Forging Room.

Looking at the hundred neatly arranged Iron Essence Bicycle in front of him, Quan Yi asked Blacksmith Yuan, "How many bicycles can we produce per day now?"

Blacksmith Yuan smiled and said, "Young Master, our daily output can reach twenty vehicles."

"That's right. So how much does it cost to manufacture one?" Quan Yi asked.

Blacksmith Yuan picked up the record book detailing the process, glanced at it, and then said, "One vehicle requires twenty kilograms of Iron Essence and five kilograms of Alloy materials. These two items together will cost four hundred Gold Soul Coin."

Besides, the materials needed for tires, such as Rubber and Carbon Black, are extremely cheap. Including the material consumption per vehicle, transportation costs, etc., it only costs ten Gold Soul Coin.

Therefore, the cost of each Bicycle is 410 Gold Soul Coin.

Quan Yi smiled with satisfaction.

One kilogram of Iron Essence requires ten Gold Soul Coin, plus a Rare Metal Alloy costing forty Gold Soul Coin per kilogram.

This cost is calculated based on market price. With its Steam Forging Hammer, Quan Yi can further reduce labor and time costs.

Therefore, the actual cost of this vehicle is even lower.

Moreover, the products manufactured according to strict procedures and precise Production Line, while not reaching the quality of the one the Prince purchased, are still sufficient to withstand the power of Soul King Soul King below.
