Seeing that someone had offered a higher price, Shen Hui smiled.

The third one sold for 190,000.

The auction for the fourth item began, and this time Shen Hui was the first to call out a bid.

"150,000!"

The number was increased from 10,000 to 150,000, and finally, some powerful forces couldn't tolerate it anymore.

"Hey buddy, what are you doing? Are you going to make an offer?"

Shen Hui retorted directly, "If you can't afford the price, then shut up."

Looking at Shen Hui's offer of 150,000, and recalling the earlier news that only five Star Core were available, he was struck by the fact that Shen Hui had offered 150,000.

This is already the fourth one.

At least there's some consolation if you don't manage to photograph them, rather than not knowing exactly how many there are.

If there are only five, wouldn't I have missed a golden opportunity?

Immediately, tensions rose among many factions.

They ignored Shen Hui and started bidding again.

However, Shen Hui raised its price significantly again.

180,000 points!

Another powerful figure couldn't help but ask, "Hey downstairs, do you have 180,000 points?"

"None of your business. If you can't afford the price, shut up and give me the item."

Shen Hui spoke indifferently, as if he didn't care about the other person at all.

However, some powerful figures couldn't resist raising the price again.

"190,000 points, it's expensive, but our organization only needs this one."

"Damn it, then I'll take 200,000 points! Send someone to exchange some more resources for points."

The fourth medal broke the previous record again, reaching 200,000 points.

Qingying, watching the price rise higher and higher in the bidding, naturally beamed with a smile.

"Next up is the fifth Star Core, starting bid is 10,000 points, bidding starts now!"

Upon hearing the name of the fifth one, everyone from the major powers couldn't help but tremble.

Is this really the last one?

This thought resurfaced in their minds; it's better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn't.

What if it's true?

But this time, right at the start, Shen Hui immediately raised the price again.

"150,000!"

This time, Shen Hui's value increased directly from 10,000 to 150,000.

No one bothered with Shen Hui anymore; instead, they continued bidding.

But just now someone shouted 170,000, Shen Hui immediately shouted:

Two hundred thousand!

"Are you here to cause trouble on purpose, you bastard?"

The powerful people angrily cursed, saying that it was Shen Hui's crazy price increases that made them nervous and caused the price to rise again from the original transaction price, and now it's happening again.

This time, Shen Hui simply ignored the other party, too lazy to waste words on them.

Although Shen Hui had already bid up to 200,000 points, this time, the organization raised the bid again without any hesitation.

Two hundred and one thousand!

Two hundred and twenty thousand!

Immediately, influential people followed suit.

"Two hundred and thirty thousand! Gentlemen, how about we take it?"

A powerful person spoke up.

"Hmph, you think you can have it? You're dreaming! Two hundred and forty thousand!"

The price soared to 240,000, which was also the price of this fifth item.

At the same time, a sense of unease arose in the hearts of everyone present: Was the auction about to end?

However, Qingying continued with a smile:

"Next, we will begin the auction for the sixth Star Core."

Upon hearing about the sixth item, some factions began to curse loudly, especially those who had just bid on the fifth item.

"Damn it! Who the hell said there were only five in total? Don't let me catch you!"

They spent so many extra points, but those weren't points; they were points they exchanged for their own resources.

At the same time, people from all factions began to wonder again: just how many of these are there?

There are more than five. How many are there? Could it be six? Seven?

A new round of bidding has begun, and this time, Shen Hui is once again the first to raise the price.

"150,000!"

"Are you out of your mind? There are more than five now, and you're still bidding like this?"

Those in power couldn't help but roar in anger.

"Mind your own business. I'm happy to do it. If you want to bid, pay a higher price than me."

Shen Hui directly mocked the other party.

At this moment, someone seemed to remember something and immediately spoke up:

"Damn! Is this guy a shill, deliberately driving up the price?"

"Damn, it's really possible. This kid really did deliberately drive up the price. If it weren't for him, those Star Core auctioned before would only have been worth 170,000 each!"

The people on the second and third floors were extremely indignant, especially those who had bought the Star Core at a high price; they wished they could tear Shen Hui to pieces.

Among the people on the first floor, some started to jeer:

"I don't think it's a shill. How could such a large All Things Auction House hire such an obvious shill?"

Someone else exclaimed, "I saw it before; the news about five Star Core seemed to have originated from him."

"I think he's just going against you powerful forces. You powerful forces should think carefully about whether you've done something wrong and offended someone, hahaha."

"They might not even have that many points on them; they're just trying to drive up the prices for you big powers."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hui immediately feigned panic and exclaimed:

"What nonsense are you talking about? I... I was just bidding normally. I have no grudge against anyone. I have plenty of points. Don't spout nonsense!"

Seeing Shen Hui's appearance, many forces already had their own ideas.

This person is deliberately causing trouble for them.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Is anyone else bidding?"

Qingying immediately asked, "If they keep making a scene, no one will bid anymore."

Shen Hui then feigned stubbornness and shouted, "You guys put up a bid! You're not just going to let the auction go like this, are you?"

"Damn it, how can this guy be so arrogant? I hope I don't catch him!"

"To be honest, I really don't believe he has that many points. Qingying, what will happen if he doesn't have enough points to bid on the item?"

Qingying also replied:

"If that happens, according to our auction house's rules, we'll try to provide something of sufficient value as collateral. If we can't, then we'll take their life as a warning."

"Okay! We won't bid; let him win!"

"Yes, I support this on behalf of our organization. We need to teach him a lesson; he's outrageous!"

Most of the factions remained silent and did not agree, but since they did not continue bidding, it was clear that they had tacitly acquiesced.

After all, Shen Hui's behavior was simply too much for them to bear.

Even Huang Lingheng and Leng Zimeng from Shen Hui's Night Organization, as well as Ye Long who had not yet declared his allegiance.

Even after finding out that Shen Hui did it, they still thought it was too despicable.

They deliberately inflated prices with all the major players.

However, Shen Hui couldn't help but burst into laughter as he listened to their words.

These people are practically giving themselves a divine assist!

Although my original intention was for them to use me as a shill and eventually stop bidding against me.

However, the result is the same now.

Seeing that no one else was bidding, Qingying had no choice but to speak up:

"Congratulations to the guest on the first floor for winning the bid for a Star Core."

Upon hearing the news of Shen Hui's successful bid, someone immediately shouted:

"Qingying, quickly check if he has any points!"

"Hehe, he's doomed now."

"Damn it, you dare to challenge us from the first floor? Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because we don't know who you are?"

"I'm sorry, sir, but given the current situation, you may need to pay the points you won in the auction in advance."

Qingying spoke to Shen Hui, and a staff member came to Shen Hui's side.

Shen Hui handed over his points card, which was then given to Qingying by a staff member.

Qingying used the instruments on the platform to check, and her expression changed after confirming it.

He spoke with a hint of caution, "This guest has enough points."

Upon hearing this, the scene fell silent for a moment.

Then everyone started to gasp in surprise.

"Holy crap! We've all been scammed!"
