"Even if this contract is a contract from God, you won't be able to transcend it. At most, you'll gain a small portion of the power. To give a simple example, can an ant swallow an elephant whole?"
Feng Zejian finally understood.
In that case, he wouldn't be interested anymore.
Finally, this mysterious contract scroll was auctioned off for 50 billion.
In the eyes of these people, one hundred million and one yuan seem to be no different.
So casual, so incredibly casual.
Perhaps what we know as common sense in life is actually just a false deception.
The world of ordinary people is like living in a giant Truman Show.
Those things that far exceed our understanding are actually what we call common sense.
Ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of the world's wealth may be concentrated in the hands of 0.001 percent of the population.
We all live in the same time and space, but not necessarily in the same world.
Chapter 398 If the seller knows what's good for them, they'll send it over themselves if it fails to sell.
The sixth item to be auctioned is a giant egg that is two meters tall.
An X-ray image appeared on the large screen.
The emcee began to explain.
"This is an expedition team that obtained an egg from a mysterious place. It is not difficult to see from the X-ray that there is a baby dragon inside, and the baby dragon has weak signs of life."
"Although the threat is weak, it does not mean that the young dragon's life is in imminent danger. It's just that the dragon egg has not yet reached the conditions for hatching, and the dragon body is maintaining the most basic life activities."
"As long as the incubation conditions are met, the baby dragons can hatch. The starting bid for this auction is 10 billion dollars."
Sure enough, the subsequent auction items were all of increasingly high quality.
Feng Zejian was somewhat worried.
"Aunt Liu, at this rate, we might not have enough money."
Sakurai Yanagi explained calmly:
"It's true that things become more valuable as they go further down the line, but valuable doesn't necessarily mean expensive. There are some things that you could give away for free, but people still wouldn't dare to touch them."
Feng Zejian nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
After fierce bidding, the price of this enormous dragon egg was locked at 150 billion.
That number sounds terrifying.
The seventh item was a coffin, yes, a coffin.
There is also an ancient corpse inside.
The coffin was a stone coffin with dragon patterns on it.
It is obvious that this is an imperial coffin, and inside lies the body of an emperor.
The corpse of the Chinese emperor.
"I won't go into detail about this item. There's no starting price, and no minimum bid increment; everyone can bid as they please."
The significance of the corpse of the Chinese emperor is extremely profound.
Liu Bai raised the sign without hesitation.
"Ninety-nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine RMB".
This price increase wasn't just announced randomly. Nine is the number of extreme Yang, and RMB is the currency of China, not a knife. This is a deliberate way of saying it.
No one present dared to bid on the item.
Liu Bai successfully bid on the corpse of the Chinese emperor. After bidding on the corpse, Liu Bai got up and left the venue, making a point of passing by Sakurai Liu.
He left his signboard to her.
The two did not exchange a single word, but the unspoken understanding between them was palpable.
No matter how fiercely they argued before, they are still family, sisters.
At that moment, Feng Zejian understood that perhaps Aunt Liu's father had sent her second and fifth sisters to share some of the burden with her.
There is another important item at this auction.
Similarly, this is also to be on the safe side; you can't put all your eggs in one basket.
The eighth item was a painting, a lifelike ancient painting.
Or rather, it's a moving painting.
Inside is a landscape painting, or more accurately, a painting depicting the landscape and the state.
Similarly, this painting has no set price, and there is no limit to how much it can be sold.
This time, Sakurai Yanagi held up the sign.
1 RMB.
Everyone was shocked.
This price has never been offered before in the history of the auction.
But the most shocking thing was Feng Zejian.
What kind of monsters are the Liu family members?
He understood the meaning behind Sakurai Yanagi's asking price of one yen.
Liu Bai's asking price of 99999999 is a sign of respect for the remains of the Chinese emperors, while asking one for this painting is an act of contempt.
It's also a selection process; if anyone else dares to bid, it means they are the Liu family's irreconcilable enemy.
Sakurai Yanagi waited for someone to make an offer.
Even if it's only one RMB, no one dares to bid.
This painting of the land and its people was acquired by Sakurai Yanagi for the exorbitant price of one dollar.
The fact that so many forces didn't make a bid highlights just how terrifying the Yanagi family behind Sakurai Yanagi is.
Sakurai Yanagi wasn't in a hurry to leave, which meant there was something else at the auction.
The ninth item was a long black spear with a spiral-shaped tip.
It looks extraordinary, and the price is even more extraordinary, with a starting bid of 100 billion.
The gun was eventually priced at one trillion dollars.
This once again defied Feng Zejian's understanding.
"Why is this so expensive?"
Warsaw revealed what he knew.
"I've heard that this thing is an artifact of the gods. But I don't know for sure, I only heard it from my father."
If Warsaw says yes, then that's basically it.
If it's a legendary artifact, then this price isn't unreasonable.
After a brief auction lull, the auction has now reached its climax with the final lots.
This item certainly deserves to be the grand finale.
A large jade seal is carved with a dragon on top.
Just one glance was enough to excite Feng Zejian. It emanated a purple aura, an aura that could only be seen by those with the Eye of Truth.
"The bid price for this item is RMB 99,999,999."
Sakurai Yanagi sneered and stood up abruptly.
"If the seller knows what's good for them, they'll send it over themselves after the auction fails."
As soon as Sakurai Ryu left, Kaze Sawa and the others followed in her footsteps.
Even Warsaw has left.
The entire venue was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Several bold buyers couldn't resist making bids, but their companions stopped them.
Unsurprisingly, this final and most anticipated item failed to sell.
Everyone was relatively quiet in the previous suite.
Warsaw is among them.
Warsaw couldn't help but ask, "Sister, that price is clearly very cheap, why don't you just buy it?"
Sakurai Yanagi looked towards Warsaw.
“I didn’t want to tell you this originally, but since you asked, I’ll give you the honor of telling you.”
"My main purpose in coming here this time is for these three things."
"The first item was bought for just one yuan short of 100 million RMB, which was a sign of respect for the predecessors in the Emperor's Coffin. The second item was bought for one yuan, which represents our attitude."
"Do you think that price is reasonable for such a grand item as the final lot of the auction?"
Warsaw shook his head.
"It doesn't make sense, but why is that?"
"Because they were scared, but they still harbored greed and wanted to sell at this price to cut their losses. The price was changed at the last minute."
At that moment, Sakurai Yanagi looked towards the door.
"The delivery person has arrived."
The next second, there was a knock on the door.
Feng Zejian had just come out of the restroom, and since it was nearby, he went to open it.
The door opened, and there was Sigma.
Warsaw was somewhat surprised to see that it was his father.
"Father, why are you here?"
Upon hearing that it was Warsaw's father, Feng Zejian greeted him with a smile and gestured for him to enter.
Sigma patted Feng Zejian on the shoulder, which felt rather friendly.
Sigma entered the room, and a servant followed him in carrying a box.
Warsaw was a little angry that his father was ignoring him.
"Dad, I'm asking you a question, why are you pretending not to hear me?"
"Warsaw, we'll talk about it later. Dad has important business to discuss this time."
Sigma approached Sakurai Yanagi.
"Third Miss, it's been a long time."
Sakurai Yanagi nodded.
"Long time no see, Uncle Sigma."
Chapter 399 The Kidnapped Chika Fuchigami
"Haha, how have you been having here these past few days?"
Sakurai Yanagi pondered for a moment.
"Everything else is fine, it's just that some projects are affecting the children."
Sakurai Yanagi said again:
"For the sake of the children's physical and mental health, let's do some healthy activities next time."
Sigma was also somewhat helpless.
