Eating Melons and Watching the Show in a Chronicles Novel

As a member of the working class, Lin Jingyu, a cargo registrar at a port, transmigrated to the early 1970s during her lunch break.

She unexpectedly discovered that she had entered a chronicl...

Chapter 484 Ninety-five million!

"Don't make a move against her for now."

The foreigner in the black suit picked up a piece of raw beef and put it in his mouth. "Roslock was seriously injured a few days ago. If he hadn't escaped in his avatar, he would likely have died at their hands."

Easterners are the most cunning; they might be waiting for us to make another move.

To avoid falling into their trap, let's leave her alone for a while.

The foreigner in the tuxedo asked, "How is Roselock now?"

"He was almost killed."

The blue-eyed foreigner's face showed anger. "It will take at least several decades or even hundreds of years to recover."

Unless he has a special bloodline to absorb, it won't be easy for him to wake up.

"Those who can make it onto the bounty list must have some skill."

The foreigner in the black suit smirked and looked at everyone present, saying, "In the future, if you're going to make a move, you must be confident that you can hit the bullseye with one strike; otherwise, it's better not to make a move at all."

You must remember that our vampire clan is small, and it will take us several decades or even a hundred years to develop. We'd better avoid conflict with Eastern martial artists.

Otherwise, we will lose our space to live and will either disappear or go back to fight for territory.

It's better to develop quietly here and deal with the Eastern martial artists when we have the strength.

"My lord, are we not going to take revenge?"

The blue-eyed foreigner looked resentful. "So many of our vampires sacrificed themselves this time, how can we let them get away with it?"

"Mides, do you mean you want the remaining dozen or so of us to fight against tens of thousands of Eastern martial artists?"

The foreigner in the tuxedo revealed a fierce expression, "I don't think this is revenge, this is suicide. They want to wipe us all out at their hands."

"Mades, I now suspect you've betrayed the vampires, wanting to side with the Easterners, and deliberately provoking us to our deaths, isn't that right?"

"My lord, I didn't."

Medes' eyes widened as he explained urgently, "I wish I could suck all their blood, how could I possibly side with blood slaves?"

"Since you don't have any, think before you speak in the future."

A red glint flashed in the eyes of the foreigner in the black suit as he warned, "If you dare disobey our orders and arrangements, then don't ever show your face in front of us again."

"My lord, Miles wouldn't dare!"

"Don't let hatred blind you. We vampires can live for hundreds of years as long as we don't die. We will have many opportunities to take revenge in the future. There is no need to throw your life away at this time."

“My lord, Miles has remembered.”

"Revenge isn't just about fighting and killing. Think things through from now on. Reckless driving will only lead to a quicker death."

"From now on, Medes will follow the master's arrangements."

...

At that very moment.

The auction has finally begun.

Everyone found seats and sat down, preparing to attend the auction.

The auction process went exactly as Lin Jingyu had imagined.

Display the items, set a starting price, and then auction them off.

Items that make it to the auction are all pretty good.

At least at that time, people weren't so rampant in making fake cultural relics.

Of course, given the auction house's resources, the appraisers they hire must be of a certain standard.

They also won't put counterfeit goods up for auction.

If an auction house dares to put up counterfeit goods for auction, and it is confirmed that no one will participate in the auction again, it would be equivalent to the auction house damaging its own reputation.

Auction houses without credibility are doomed to fail.

There is only one auction house in Xiangdu, and it hasn't made any mistakes in the past few years, so its reputation is guaranteed.

Because everyone knows this, the powerful and wealthy in Xiangdu will not miss the good items offered by the auction house.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a raw diamond."

A pretty waitress brought out a raw diamond the size of an adult's fist.

It shone brightly under the lights.

It immediately attracted the attention of many people, clearly showing that everyone still prefers diamonds.

"The starting price for the raw diamond is 300,000, and each bid will be at least 10,000 more."

As soon as the waiter finished speaking, someone immediately called out the price:

"Three hundred and one thousand!"

"I'll give you 320,000!"

"..."

As more and more people started bidding, the price rose rapidly.

It didn't take long for it to reach a million.

It must be said that this diamond is worth at most around a million.

If the price continues to increase, then you'll end up being ripped off.

The number of bidders instantly decreased by more than half, leaving only a few rivals who seemed to be bidding against each other out of spite.

It has to be said that auction house staff love this kind of scene.

The others were happy to watch the show, quietly listening to the suckers who were shouting out inflated prices.

Of course, there are only so many fools who can get ripped off at auctions.

When the price reached 1.05 million, no one was willing to bid any higher.

So the first item was pocketed by one of the unsuspecting buyers.

Next.

This kind of situation keeps happening.

Of course, most of the time the items are auctioned normally, since only a minority of people are really ripped off.

Until.

The appearance of a crown and a scepter immediately startled everyone present.

Lin Jingyu originally intended to keep this set of items as a keepsake and bring them out in the new century.

I didn't expect this thing wouldn't fit in the dock space.

Seemingly shrouded in mystery, Lin Jingyu feared revealing her secret.

After discussing it with my two senior brothers and Elder Jun, we decided to throw this thing out first.

It's better not to be greedy for some things, or at least not to lose more than you gain.

No matter how amazing Western products are, they are all junk in the eyes of Easterners.

That's why we decided to throw it away.

"Oh my god, it's here?"
