Chapter 280: The Auction Began
“I’m sorry, I was too excited. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an item of this quality!”
Tegpus then said to Lansi.
“These are the fangs of a Demon King Beast! What price do you think is suitable?”
Lansi suddenly raised her left hand and made a wait gesture.
She took out a piece of paper and a pen and quickly calculated.
After a few seconds, Lansi said, “After some calculations, how about…”
Mike held his breath and waited for Lansi to reveal the number.
“How about two billion?”
When Mike heard this number, he was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off.
Two billion! What kind of concept was that?
Then, Tegpus said, “Lansi girl, your price is not very generous! I’ll give you another chance. Think carefully.”
When Lansi heard Tegpus’ words, she picked up her pen and paper, and began to calculate again.
Finally, Lansi spoke again.
“2.8 billion. This is all of Romon Auction’s assets now.”
When Mike heard the figure of 2.8 billion, his heart was once again shocked.
However, Tegpus still shook his head.
“Your price is still too low. For materials of this quality, we can’t negotiate without at least 3 billion!”
Lansi smiled awkwardly and said, “Business has been difficult recently. How about this? We can make this material of yours the final item for tonight’s auction. Is that okay with you?”
Tegpus thought for a moment and nodded at Mike.
Mike then said to Lansi.
“Deal!”
Lansi said again.
“But, once this thing is sold, our Romon Auction will take a 10% cut!”
“10%? How much is that worth?”
Mike said in surprise.
Tegpus said to Mike.
“Mike, trust me. Even if it’s 10%, you won’t lose anything!”
Hearing Tegpus’ firm words, Mike had no choice but to agree.
“10%?” Tegpus said to Lansi.
“I can let you take 10%, but you have to agree to one condition.”
Lansi said, “Please go ahead.”
“The condition is that you need to open the warehouse of your unsold items and allow us to choose one thing to take away.”
“That won’t do, Lord Tegpus. It’s not like you don’t know that this is just a small business. We can’t afford to lose this kind of money.”
Hearing Lansi’s words, Tegpus smiled and continued.
“How about this? We each take a step back and open the warehouse of your unsold items. Let us choose one to take away and you give us a 100 million advance purchase quota. Do you think this will work?”
Lansi picked up the pen and paper again and began to calculate.
Finally, she spoke.
“Deal, then it’s settled! I’ll take you to the VIP room of the auction now. The auction is about to begin!”
Mike and Tegpus followed Lansi up to the third floor and came to a luxurious private room with a wide view.
After the two sat down, Lansi did not forget to tease Mike again before she left.
“Mike,” Lansi whispered into Mike’s ear.
“If you want to come and play with me in the future, you’re welcome to do so anytime. I promise I’ll let you have fun, the kind of fun that makes you want to die!”
After Lansi said that, she even kissed Mike on the cheek.
Mike felt his body shake, as if his soul had left his body.
Finally, tonight’s auction officially began.
A male host wearing strange clothes walked to the center of the stage.
“Welcome, distinguished guests, to our Romon Auction. Now, the auction will begin. Are you ready?”
A violent commotion broke out below the stage!
Mike looked at the crazy crowd below the stage and felt a little uncomfortable.
“Okay, let’s go to the first item of tonight’s auction!”
On the stage, two beautiful girls dressed as bunnies were pushing a small cart covered with a red cloth as they slowly walked towards the center of the stage.
The host lifted the red cloth.
“The first item of tonight’s auction is a diamond quality breastplate! This breastplate can be used by all professions. I believe that everyone already has a vague idea of the price of the diamond quality.”
“The starting price is 10 million. Let’s start the bidding now!”
Mike quickly found out the flaw of this breastplate by looking at the hidden message.
So Mike said to himself.
“This host is really amazing. He specifically highlighted the advantages of this breastplate but said nothing about this flaw. I’m afraid that some fools will fall for it!”
Tegpus looked at Mike and said to him.
“Mike, what? Do you see the flaw in this breastplate? Tell me, let me verify if what you said is right.”
Mike said.
“It has something to do with the material of this breastplate, right?”
Tegpus looked at Mike with approval.
Mike continued to speak.
“The flaw of this breastplate is that its material is made of rare metals with an extremely high hardness level. Although it has an extremely high defensive ability, and can even be compared to a grandmaster-grade breastplate, it is precisely because of the hardness of this material that this breastplate can only be worn by people with a suitable figure! Moreover, in my opinion, the size of this breastplate can only be worn by a child who has yet to develop. An adult can not wear it at all!”
Tegpus said, “This is expected of the person that Burt took a fancy to. It is also no wonder that a guy with an eccentric character like Burt would take a fancy to you!”
After hearing Tegpus’ words, Mike thought to himself.
Speaking of eccentric, perhaps Burt was far from it in comparison to Tegpus.
Mike continued to watch the proceedings of the auction.
In the end, this diamond-quality breastplate was bought by a middle-aged merchant uncle for the price of 148 million.
“Next is our second item. This item will appear on the stage of the Romon Auction for the last time. It is this alien meteorite!
“This alien meteorite is huge. Regardless of its color, texture, or hardness, it is the best choice for forging high-tier equipment!
“The starting price is 800,000!
“Let the bidding begin now!”
“800,000!”
Mike said as he raised his sign.
The auctioneer was extremely excited when he saw Mike raise his sign.
“Finally, someone has made a bid. 800,000 going once!”
Mike and Tegpus were extremely happy at this moment.
They had not expected that 800,000 yuan would allow them to pick up such an important alien meteorite.
If the audience knew that this piece of alien meteorite that could be forged into a sword comparable to a master-level sword was sold for only 800,000 yuan, they would probably stomp their feet in anger.
“800,000 twice!”
Just as the host’s third hammer was about to smash down.
A voice sounded.
“One million.”
Mike looked in the direction of the voice. It was a strange man wearing a black robe.
Mike quickly continued to raise the price.
“1.2 million!”
The host was even more delighted.
“1.2 million going once!”
