Chapter 150 A Strong Sense of Resonance
"I bid 500,000!" VIP number 66 raised his sign and announced a price that would almost kill the game from the start.
Those people holding up signs hadn't even uttered the word "100,000" when he cut them off with a quote.
It seems the other party had calculated the money and mentality of those present, and quoted a price of 500,000 at the beginning. In addition to speeding up the bidding, it also made some timid people start to think about whether the item was worth the price.
The apparent value is indeed very tempting. As long as the descendants are filial enough and live long enough, one could become a Soul Master with a 100,000-year Soul Ring 100,000 years from now.
But 100,000 years is indeed too abstract.
Upon seeing the first bidder offer 500,000, Vice President Su was overjoyed. Although the future value of this item was immeasurable, that was only the future. Right now, it would be a blessing if it were worth 100,000 gold soul coins. This was why he hadn't set a starting price threshold. Sometimes, if you don't restrict others, they might unleash unexpected performances.
This is the valuable experience he gained from decades of working as an auctioneer at auction houses.
"Old Monster, forget about this item. Someone else will bid for it. Even if you manage to get it, it won't be worth much. You'll feel bad if you break it. We've had a good haul tonight. Let's go settle the accounts with the auction house and get ready to leave."
Xiao Yan understood perfectly well and had no intention of wasting any more time at the auction. If the price had started at 50,000 and gradually increased, he could have participated with a playful attitude. But now, the price had been driven up to 500,000 right from the start, and he was no big shot.
So there's no point in looking any further. There are quite a few people who think the same way, but most of them are in the VIP boxes. How many people sitting in VIP rooms are not discerning? If you buy this kind of thing cheaply as a collectible, it's passable. But if you buy it at a high price, it's an extremely unprofitable deal.
On the contrary, the group of nobles and gentry surrounding the stands remained seated, clearly there to join in the fun and to have something to talk about with others later, since they had seen such rare items before.
Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to leave, the others also stood up one by one. Xiao Yan took the sleeping Rolling Beast from Xiao Wu's arms and intended to put it on his head. However, at this moment, a strange sensation came from his heart.
It was a feeling of longing.
It kept nagging at his heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and lungs.
It kept going on and on, as if demons were whispering in his ear.
In his heart, he was urged not to give up.
All of this was aimed at the prized item on the stage: the Snow Wolf Beast embryo.
Xiao Yan was puzzled and looked at the ball-shaped beast he had just received. The ball-shaped beast was also looking at him with a strange expression.
Xiao Yan was certain that this feeling wasn't from the Rolling Ball Beast, so what was it—
He and Agumon simultaneously looked at the Digimon device clipped to his waist. This machine, which usually only emitted light when Agumon evolved, was now flashing its screen on and off under Xiao Yan and Agumon's gaze.
The blinking continued for an unknown amount of time, but because the private room was brightly lit, he didn't notice it at all.
Perhaps the Tyrannosaurus Rex was already giving instructions to Xiao Yan the moment the snow wolf beast appeared.
"Big brother, why are you standing there?" Tang San was already standing at the door of the private room. When he pushed the door open, the hostess opened it wide as if she knew it well. Everyone was gathered by the door, obviously waiting for Xiao Yan.
"You mean you want me to take a picture of this, and that it's absolutely necessary?"
Xiao Yan held the Sacred Plan in his hand and asked questions to himself, leaving Xiao Wu, who was standing to the side, completely baffled.
"What? Bro, didn't you say this thing was useless? Why did I tell you to film it?"
As if in response to Xiao Yan, the Tyrannosaurus Rex held in Xiao Yan's hand now shone with an even more dazzling light.
"I'm not leaving yet." After saying that, Xiao Yan sat back down and added another 30,000 to the already raised bid of 600,000.
"Oh, it seems our VIP in Box 3 still has money left after bidding on Lots 4 and 9. He's raised the bid for the Snow Wolf Beast embryo to 630,000!" Vice President Su shouted out Xiao Yan's bid. He was also wondering whether the other party could afford the price of the embryo after paying 300,000 for Heavenly Fire Refined Iron and 2 million for the Netherworld Armor, but since the other party was in a VIP box, he couldn't question him.
"Little monster, why are you so stingy? You were just saying you were leaving, how come you're sitting down now and even raising the price?"
"Brother, setting aside the price of the Netherworld Armor, you spent 300,000 on refined iron. Where are you going to get the money to buy this Snow Wolf Beast embryo?" Tang San didn't question Xiao Yan's sudden change of heart; he was just worried about whether Xiao Yan had enough money.
After all, at Chairman Shi's blacksmith association, Xiao Yan had bluntly stated that he couldn't afford a million worth of deep-sea sunken silver. Now, with this 300,000 plus his quoted price of 630,000, it's close to a million. His elder brother, Xiao Yan, couldn't possibly have that much money.
Ning Rongrong didn't say much, but obediently sat down next to Xiao Yan again. After all, her purpose in coming to this auction was decided after consulting her father. It was to get closer to Xiao Yan and improve their relationship. At that time, her father even gave her a sum of money.
"Hehe, I only have a little over 300,000 left on hand," Xiao Yan said, scratching his head sheepishly.
Ning Rongrong, standing to the side, was quite shocked. After discarding the refined iron, Xiao Yan still had over 300,000? He hadn't charged the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a single penny for the batch of hidden weapons he gave them. Although the Glazed Tile School had paid a deposit for the later custom orders, it was definitely not as much as the amount of money Xiao Yan had on hand.
Is Xiao Yan really just a recluse who studied under Master Yanxiao but has no status or background?
"Hey guys, come help me put together this. I really need it." Xiao Yan was a little embarrassed. In his haste, he had pressed the bid button. Since it was the Tyrannosaurus Rex that brought him the resonance, then this Snow Wolf Embryo must have a reason.
Now that he's come to his senses, he realizes he doesn't have that much money, and right now he can only pin his hopes on the old monster and Ning Rongrong.
Therefore, when he said this, his eyes were looking at Dugu Bo and the others.
Seeing that Xiao Yan's gaze was earnest and his tone was not joking, although no one knew what kind of change had taken place in his mindset, everyone knew that Xiao Yan really wanted to acquire this embryo.
"Big brother, I still have 50,000 here." Tang San said, taking out all his money first. Including the money Xiao Yan left for him and Xiao Wu when he went to the Northern Border, the rest was all earned by him in his spare time by blacksmithing.
"I have seventy thousand here," Dugu Bo said, handing over the money bag with some reluctance, but was met with Xiao Yan's disdainful gaze.
"What are you looking at, little monster? I'm from no sect or school, and it's not easy for me to have some savings on my own."
"Thank you, old monster." Xiao Yan's disdainful look was less like looking down on someone and more like the kind of teasing you give a friend: You're a Title Douluo, and you only have this little bit of money.
Although if everyone pooled their resources, they might be able to raise a decent amount, but so far they've only managed to raise 120,000, which, including what he already has, amounts to a mere 470,000.
It's nowhere near the 630,000 he originally quoted, not to mention that the current price has already been raised by a nobleman from the stands.
"I'll offer 700,000."
