Auction House Tricks
At an auction, when some valuable items unexpectedly sell out and the auction price fails to reach the auction house's expected target.
The auction house will then have pre-arranged staff, or shills, intervene to raise prices or buy back items, so that they can be auctioned again at a more suitable time later.
Clearly, this ugly, obese old man was a shill deliberately placed by the auction house.
At this point, the price of the Prime Cat Girl had already been driven up to three million Gold Soul Coin.
The price suddenly jumped from two million Gold Soul Coin to as much as three million, and all the bidders present fell silent instantly.
Taking advantage of the moment of silence, 'Elder Zheng' took the opportunity to preside:
"The price of Catwoman has now reached a staggering three million Gold Soul Coin!"
"Any other bidders want to raise the price? Otherwise, this Prime Cat Girl will belong to the purple-level VIP with serial number 6638!"
"Now, three million Gold Soul Coin at a time!"
Elder Zheng appeared kind and gentle as he presided over the meeting, but his small eyes actually gleamed with shrewdness.
After speaking, 'Elder Zheng' gave the bidders a little time to raise their bids, while also observing their expressions.
Moreover, 'Elder Zheng' would occasionally glance at the black-level and red-level private rooms.
It's as if it's saying, "This is Catwoman! Why aren't you big shots offering a high price for her?"
"Hmph, I refuse to believe that when you see the ugly faces of the staff I specially arranged, you won't feel a surge of love for this Prime Cat Girl and raise your bids!"
Elder Zheng thought to himself, secretly pleased with himself.
As expected, just as 'Elder Zheng' had predicted.
All the bidders turned their attention to the owner of seat number 6638, wondering who this person was who had made such a bold move as to bid three million Gold Soul Coin.
However, when they saw the master in that seat, their faces froze.
"This is so ugly!"
"Old and fat, ugly and hideous, even more disgusting than an old fat pig!"
This was the first thought that came to the minds of all the bidders when they saw the shill.
People imagined a scene where an old, ugly, and fat man was holding Prime Cat Girl in his arms.
Immediately, everyone felt a chill run down their spines; this was simply a waste of resources!
Is this acceptable?
This is simply unacceptable!
The shill arranged by the auction house knew that everyone was watching him, so he deliberately crossed his legs and even rolled his eyes, giving off an arrogant and disdainful impression.
Instantly, everyone's emotions were ignited.
"Damn it, this will allow the old man to get Catwoman, but we can't let the goddess suffer and be defiled!"
This reflects the true thoughts of the Soul Grandmaster bidders.
The Prime Cat Girl on the auction stage looked pitiful, holding the East Sea Luminous Pearl in her hands, her delicate body curled up, giving people a feeling of pity.
At that moment, she subconsciously followed everyone's gaze and looked at the owner of seat number 6638 who had bid three million Gold Soul Coin, wondering what he looked like.
However, when this Prime Cat Girl saw the shill, who was old, ugly, and fat, her face turned deathly pale, and an overwhelming sense of fear welled up inside her.
If this ugly old man wins the bid, one can imagine how miserable their future life will be.
They were reduced to playthings of ugly old men, their lives devoid of light, their future bleak.
Thinking of this, the Prime Cat Girl became frightened.
"Woo"
The Prime Cat Girl was so frightened that her body trembled slightly.
A misty layer of tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, and one tear even slid down her high, white nose and patted her chest.
The already pitiful Prime Cat Girl looked even more pathetic now, making people want to pity her even more.
At that moment, every bidder who saw the Prime Cat Girl felt an urge to protect Prime Cat Girl.
Inside the red-lacquered private room, Xue Qinghe's starry eyes trembled slightly.
Xue Qinghe really wanted to bid for this Prime Cat Girl. His desire for her was secondary; what mattered most was that he wanted to protect her!
Here lies a beauty, whose one glance could topple a city, and whose second glance could topple a nation!
However, as the eldest prince, how could he act on emotion?
Moreover, Xue Qinghe did not have this authority.
"Sigh, I just can't bear it!"
Xue Qinghe sighed inwardly, feeling utterly helpless; he could only watch as others went to bid.
Ning Fengzhi, standing beside Xue Qinghe, did not look too good at this moment.
Everyone has a love for flowers.
Furthermore, this is a living being, yet it is being auctioned off like an object. If no one rescues it, it will ultimately become a plaything.
Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi couldn't bear it.
What's the use of just being reluctant?
"We must prioritize the greater good. If this set of Spirit Bone Set falls into the hands of the Spirit Hall or the Star Luo Empire, war will inevitably break out again!"
"We must prioritize the greater good!"
Ning Fengzhi thought to himself that he should prioritize the overall situation and not act on emotion.
Thus, Ning Fengzhi suppressed his reluctance and prioritized the overall situation.
Inside another private red room, Dai Weisi's tiger-like eyes flashed, a ruthless glint in them.
"If I become emperor in the future, I will surely save all the beauties in the world from their suffering!"
Dai Weisi thought to himself, making a silent vow.
Inside the dark private room, the Patriarch Taino had already clenched his invisible fist tightly.
"How could it be an ugly old man? Damn it!"
"So old, yet still out there causing trouble for people, he deserves to die!"
On the surface, Taino remained calm, but inside he was extremely agitated and heartbroken.
At the purple level, Ye Chen was burning with rage.
"That damned old man is shameless. He thinks he's something special just because he has a few pennies?"
"You're so old, and you're still out there trying to seduce young girls? Can you even lift a finger?"
"Let go of this catwoman, let me handle this!"
Ye Chen's eyes were bloodshot with rage and hatred. He wanted nothing more than to tear that ugly old man who had offered three million Gold Soul Coin to pieces.
Seeing his grandson Ye Chen so concerned, Duke Ye was at a loss for words.
I don't know what to say, so I'll remain silent.
Duke Ye turned his head away. For some reason, Ye Chen today seemed to want someone to go up and give him a big fight.
Inside the private, dark room where Du Bai was.
Bibi Dong, the beauty in Du Bai, couldn't bear to watch any longer and felt a pang of pity.
After weighing the options, Bibi Dong sighed and decided to help the catwoman.
"Du Bai, this catwoman looks so pitiful, why don't we help her out?"
Bibi Dong spoke gently to Du Bai.
This catwoman has a long, fluffy tail.
Bibi Dong thought about what would happen if she fused with the External Soul Bone, the Fox Tail.
Every time the fluffy Fox Tail sticks out...
Thinking of the Prime Cat Girl who has become a plaything on the auction stage, and her tragic fate, Bibi Dong felt a pang of sorrow.
Goodnight, everyone!! Good morning!! Good afternoon!! Have a happy new week!!
