A Contest of Wealth: Qian Daoliu vs. Ning Fengzhi
Ning Fengzhi with an "Oh?" sound, recalling that he was quite amazed when he first saw Tang San demonstrate the Dragon Whisker Needle.
Wearing a mask, Ning Rongrong glanced at Tang San silently, her eyes revealing a hint of appreciation.
She had heard about the boy, who was about the same age as her, who had caused a lot of surprises in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect these days.
Host: "The first item for auction is a two-kilogram Plate Crystal. The starting bid is ten Gold Soul Coin, and the bid increment is ten Gold Soul Coin. Let the auction begin!"
The VIP area on the second floor was silent, except for the ordinary people on the first floor who held up signs.
These ordinary people knew perfectly well that the big shots upstairs were mostly there for Lou Gao's work, and they couldn't compete with them.
So their goal today is metal.
The price quickly reached 80 Gold Soul Coin, and then there was no further movement on the first floor.
The host announced, "80 Gold Soul Coin per attempt..."
Just then, a deep voice came from the third floor.
"100 Gold Soul Coin."
Miles looked over, somewhat surprised.
However, at that moment, Yue Guan's voice quickly came from behind him. "One Gold Soul Coin."
Miles exclaimed "Huh?" and immediately turned around, looking surprised.
"My lord, while Plate Crystal are valuable, they are not considered rare..."
"Don't ask, just take the picture."
"Yes!"
Miles immediately raised his sign. "One Gold Soul Coin!"
As soon as the sound came out, the entire empty auction hall immediately became noisy. Everyone in the first-floor lobby and the second-floor VIP area looked up in surprise at the third floor.
Yu Yuanzhen opened his eyes in surprise. "These guys over there... are they here to throw money around?"
Inside the private room.
Lin Luo raised her chubby little hand. "Want~ Want~"
Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow. "Already won them over~"
The host excitedly shouted, "Platinum One, one Gold Soul Coin! Is there any more?!"
Tang San stared blankly at Ning Fengzhi, and even the usually composed Tang San couldn't help but mutter, "Are you crazy?"
"One Gold Soul Coin to buy Plate Crystal?"
Ning Fengzhi: "Shall we pursue them?"
Tang San immediately shook his head. "Don't chase, don't chase. Although there aren't many Plate Crystal, they're not that hard to find. Giving them... But who is this Platinum Number One?"
Chen Xin: "I saw them, they were all wearing masks, so they're probably one of the Lower Four Sects, but it couldn't possibly be the Clear Sky Sect, could it?"
Tang San: "It could also be the Spirit Hall."
Tang San remembered that this area belonged to Miles. In his previous life, Miles had spoken rudely to Xiao Wu in front of him.
"One Gold Soul Coin! Three times! Congratulations to Platinum One for winning the first item of the day!"
The host was practically going crazy with excitement.
Are the VIPs in the Platinum Zone really that extravagant today?
The host continued, "The second item is also metal, and a very precious and rare metal at that: one and a half kilograms of Blazing Sun Iron!"
Starting bid: 100 Gold Soul Coin, increments: 20 Gold Soul Coin. Bidding begins!
Yu Yuanzhen frowned again. "Why is it still metal? I won't take a picture, I won't take a picture..."
He lay back down.
Lin Luo was taken aback, but couldn't help but laugh inwardly. This time he really came to the right place; the first two metals were both mission materials.
He immediately waved his little arms, shouting, "Yes! Yes!"
Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong, both amused and exasperated. "Baby wants more."
Bibi Dong said leisurely, "Let them finish first, then we'll reap the rewards. It doesn't matter, your grandfather has money."
Qian Renxue chuckled, truly afraid that by the end of the day, they would have moved the entire Blacksmith Association to Spirit City.
It's hard to imagine what kind of expression Grandpa will have on his face then.
Tang San said seriously, "Uncle Ning, this absolutely has to be filmed."
Ning Fengzhi nodded calmly. "Don't worry, today you just need to say whether you want to bid or not, money is not a problem."
The Blazing Sun Iron was clearly more popular than the Plate Crystal; many people were taking pictures on the first floor, and even more on the second floor.
The sound of signs being held up could be heard everywhere.
During the process, Gu Rong shouted something, and the scene instantly fell silent.
Money and the Great Silence Technique!
"Two thousand Gold Soul Coin."
After the deep voice faded, no one raised their sign again.
Inside the private room, Tang San looked at Ning Fengzhi's calm and unperturbed expression, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"Having been given a second chance at life, it's definitely more useful to latch onto Ning Fengzhi, his sugar daddy. There's probably no one richer than him."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Miles ' voice came from outside.
"Five thousand Gold Soul Coin!"
Miles is crazy, no, he thinks His Holiness the Pope crazy.
When did the Spirit Hall become interested in these metals?!
He never imagined that today, everyone would listen to that little baby.
Today, all consumption is paid for by Qian Daoliu!
The host became excited again, and everyone's attention shifted from Platinum Room 2 to Platinum Room 1.
They were shocked and puzzled.
These guys have gone crazy! Are they all going after metal today?
Tang San didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly. He had just finished praising Ning Fengzhi when the Platinum No. 1 VIP room made its move.
"Uncle Ning, we need to film this..."
Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice, "Six Gold Soul Coin."
Gu Rong immediately relayed the message.
The entire venue instantly erupted in excitement, with everyone discussing loudly and speculating about the identities of the two big shots. Even Yu Yuanzhen was surprised and stuck his head out of the window.
Today was really strange.
Previously, there were only examples of high-priced bidding wars for works Lou Gao platinum suites, but I've never seen anyone bidding against metal.
Miles continued shouting, "Seven Gold Soul Coin!"
Tang San glared. "Uncle Ning!"
Ning Fengzhi a deep voice, "Eight thousand Gold Soul Coin!"
Lin Luo waved her little hand. "Yes, yes~"
Bibi Dong calmly replied, "Ten thousand Gold Soul Coin."
Miles, veins bulging, shouted, "Ten thousand Gold Soul Coin!"
The scene erupted in cheers.
Many people in the VIP area on the second floor got up from their seats and eagerly looked up at the third floor.
Many of them were familiar with Miles and could recognize Miles even through the mask.
But they were incredibly surprised; Miles was actually standing outside holding up a sign today?!
Who is he holding up the sign for?
The host shouted, "Ten thousand Gold Soul Coin per try!"
Ning Fengzhi looked up. "Uncle Gu, ten thousand—"
Tang San was so frightened that he quickly stopped them. "Uncle Ning, Uncle Ning, no, no, let's give it to them. Although the Blazing Sun Iron is precious, it's not worth spending more than 10,000 Gold Soul Coin for it."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, remaining silent.
Ning Rongrong silently looked at her father's slightly trembling arm. It was the first time she had seen her father suffer such a great injustice in the face of money comparisons.
The host excitedly shouted, "Ten thousand Gold Soul Coin! Three times! Congratulations again to Platinum One for winning the second item!"
"The next item, the third one, is the first major highlight of the day!"
The host glanced at Platinum Boxes One and Two, already imagining the scene of them continuing their fierce battle for this item.
"The third item in the auction is an ultra-thin metal soft armor personally crafted by Lou Gao, the president of the Blacksmith Association!"
Starting bid: 200 Gold Soul Coin; increment: 20 Gold Soul Coin! Bidding begins!
The first floor was completely silent; they knew they couldn't outmaneuver the VIPs.
The VIPs on the second floor didn't dare to move; they looked at the two big shots on the third floor.
Yu Yuanzhen frowned; this was not the final piece he had been waiting for, and he remained silent.
The entire third floor was completely silent.
An incredibly dramatic scene unfolded.
The Lou Gao artworks were generating a lot of buzz, but when the first one was first unveiled, surprisingly no one bothered to take pictures.
The host stared blankly at the first, second, and third floors, completely dumbfounded.
Why isn't anyone holding up a sign?
