"A bidding war?" This nearly made Huangfu Yusheng lose his noble mask and almost burst into a tirade, disregarding all decorum.
Originally, he came to test Luo Su's abilities, but unexpectedly, he ended up testing his own abilities instead.
100 million?
Are you using hundreds of millions as the unit from the very beginning? Are you really that rich or have made too much money? Is this how you burn through money?
Luckily, Su Luo didn't know what Huangfu Yusheng was thinking, otherwise she would really have to applaud him. He was right, she really was burning money!
Looking at the black pieces that were almost captured, Huangfu Yusheng, trying to appear calm, picked up the piece that Su Luo had changed to the highest price of 500 million, added a stroke in front of it, and at the same time picked up several white pieces worth 100 million and 200 million, and modified their numbers.
"Fifteen billion? Lord Huangfu has raised his highest price to fifteen billion. That's a whole level higher than Luo Su's asking price of several hundred million."
If the range from tens of millions to hundreds of millions is one level, then the range from hundreds of millions to billions is another.
A billion or so ghost money could almost govern several large bases similar in size to Noah's Base. Many base commanders present stared wide-eyed, speechless with astonishment at this bidding game.
"Over a billion? Can Luo Su handle that? This Nine Netherworld Clan member named Huangfu Yusheng is raising the price so high, does he completely disregard winning or losing the game, and is determined to prove himself?"
After all, with over a billion, they could easily spread the bids and acquire more game pieces. However, Huangfu Yusheng's stance clearly indicates that he intends to compete with the initiator of Luo City Coins, Luo Su, at the highest price. He's willing to lose face rather than lose money.
The ghost money they had worked so hard to earn from the monster dungeons was less than what they earned from this game. In their eyes, the ghost money was like free money, just a number.
"Lord Huangfu, are you... giving up?" Su Luo glanced at the bids, a sneer playing on his lips. "With just this little bit of bravado, you can't beat me."
After that, the second round of bidding began, with fifteen minutes remaining in the game.
Unlike last time, Su Luo did not bid for Huangfu Yusheng's black pieces first. Instead, he picked up his highest bid of 900 million for white pieces and waved them provocatively at Huangfu Yusheng.
"Since Lord Huangfu is willing to play, I don't mind accompanying him. However, given the price, I have other requests."
The total amount of bidding on the field has now exceeded 5 billion. 5 billion ghost money is an extremely rare thing even in the apocalypse. If it weren't for the fact that the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City has the royal family in charge, even if the Other Shore or the Yellow Springs are businessmen, it would probably be difficult for them to come up with so much ghost money at once.
"Tell me about it?"
This situation has completely exceeded Huangfu Yusheng's expectations, and the funds he prepared are almost exhausted. At such a heavy price, it would be great if he could gain more leverage.
"If I win, this capital base is mine!"
The moment he said that, the entire room fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.
The capital city base, now belonging to Luo Su?!
This, this...
The base commander of the Imperial Capital Base glanced at Huangfu Yusheng subconsciously, as if he wanted to say something, but after noticing Huangfu Yusheng's displeased expression, he quickly lowered his head and looked away.
"Base Commander, Lord Luo Su is asking you a question. Why don't you say something?" Huangfu Yusheng's icy voice slowly rang out. With each word he spoke, the air around the Base Commander grew colder, making the Base Commander's back go cold and his whole body break out in a sweat.
"Ah, this, this..." He couldn't make that decision! The base commander roared inwardly, but dared not speak the truth. He was just a puppet, yet he had to be caught between the two adults and even give an explanation. What explanation could he possibly give?
"Well... with both of you here, I, as a base commander, dare not say much. I just hope you two are happy."
Upon hearing the words of the Imperial Capital Base Chief, the other base personnel present couldn't help but frown, and some even looked at him with disdain.
Those who came here are not fools. Having come this far, they naturally know that the Imperial Capital Base is no longer the official one it once was, and it has most likely joined forces with the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City. It should no longer be called the Imperial Capital Base; to be precise, it should be the branch of the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City Imperial Capital Base.
"Heh." Huangfu Yusheng snorted coldly, cursing inwardly as a piece of trash.
Isn't this just making Luo Su a laughing stock?
"Since the base commander has spoken, he should be willing to offer the base as a prize." Huangfu Yusheng's words determined the future of the Imperial Capital Base and also served as a warning to everyone present.
Can they... ever go back?
“Alright.” Su Luo nodded, glanced at the base commander who was almost scared to death, and shook his head. “Lord Huangfu, please be more careful next time and choose a better lackey. At least, one that can bark.”
With a single sentence, Su Luo subtly mocked Huangfu Yusheng and the people at the Imperial Capital Base, instantly winning the favor of the other bases.
But considering Su Luo's current public identity, he couldn't bring himself to show any respect for this mysterious initiator of the Los Angeles currency.
With the prize of the Imperial Capital Base, Su Luo didn't hold back. With a wave of his hand, he added a number to the white chess piece worth nine hundred million, then casually put it down, as if it were just a number, as commonplace as drinking water or eating.
"Two, two billion?!"
A string of numbers flashed on the white chess piece, its exorbitant price of 2.9 billion stunning everyone.
Two and a half billion?! Huangfu Yusheng just added 1.5 billion, and Lord Luo Su directly changed one to two, making it two and a half billion, almost double that of Huangfu Yusheng!
Not only that, Su Luo also thoughtfully added a sum for his other chess pieces: 2.3 billion, 2.6 billion...
It's dazzling to look at, and a quick count shows it has already surpassed the 10 billion mark!
10 billion!
This is a major event in the history of the supernatural world that is worth telling a story about.
"Excuse me, if Lord Huangfu doesn't want to write it, I'll do it for him!" Su Luo said in a slightly playful but chilling way. After writing her own white chess piece, she picked up Huangfu Yusheng's black chess piece. This time, she showed no mercy.
1.2 billion, 1.3 billion, 1.1 billion...
In stark contrast to the white pieces, the numbers at the beginning of the pieces were intentionally fewer than those of Luo Su's own white pieces, giving the impression of deliberately writing fewer numbers to overpower one another.
You can't stand that she writes less than you, but you can't raise the price again. You can't stand it, and you can't beat her.
Finally, just after Su Luo finished writing his second bid, there was one minute left in the game.
During this time, Huangfu Yusheng seemed to have given up. Apart from showing a hint of surprise at the beginning, he made no move and watched Su Luo bid until the last moment when Su Luo once again picked up the white chess piece with the highest bid written on it...
