"What does Lord Luo Su mean by this? Does he intend to raise the price?"
"But haven't we won now? The price of 2.9 billion is the highest price we can find on the sand table."
"Who knows? Maybe they just like throwing money around and having fun."
Everyone present, including the ghosts, was captivated by Su Luo's actions, filled with confusion, curiosity, and doubt as they watched him raise the bid for the 2.9 billion chess piece to 5.9 billion!
It's more than 5 billion, more than half of 10 billion. It's unbelievable that they actually witnessed such an astronomical price!
What's even more unbelievable is that the area represented by that chess piece is just a commercial street. No matter what, it can't possibly be compared to 5.9 billion!
"Wait, what is Lord Luo Su doing?"
After raising the bid again, Su Luo did not immediately put it back. Instead, he glanced at the countdown clock with 30 seconds left, then took a step toward the center of the sand table, where the Guiming Palace was located. He reached out and could just reach it.
"Lord Huangfu, for this game, everything I bought counts?"
"You're just a mere crown prince, how can you make such a decision?"
Listen to this! What kind of talk is this? What do you mean by "mere crown prince"? Isn't he the undisputed next king of the monster royal family? As the heir to the throne, these things are naturally absolute. How could he possibly go back on his word in front of all the monsters and humans here?
Even if he were to renege, the other ghosts might agree, but Lord Luo Su himself wouldn't. Speaking of which, no one knows how many trump cards Lord Luo Su has, not even the ghosts. Whether it's Huangfu Yusheng from the Nine Nether Ghost King City or the people and ghosts invited here, this is the first time they've seen Luo Su.
His abilities, his influence, his strength—nothing is known.
Huangfu Yusheng had no reason to break ties with the other party over the territory of the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City, unless...
"Unless, I bought something I shouldn't have."
As Su Luo spoke, his right hand slowly moved downwards, accompanied by a countdown of nineteen, eighteen, seventeen... Under Huangfu Yusheng's shocked gaze, he placed the white chess piece inscribed with 5.9 billion on top of Guiming Palace.
'Ding.'
The game ended, and the chess piece's value lit up. The number 5.9 billion overshadowed the smaller number 5 billion below. Everyone looked over and discovered that there was a black chess piece in the sand table building below the Guiming Palace. It was almost invisible unless you looked very closely.
"Checkmate!"
You lost!
Huangfu Yusheng stared at the white chess pieces above the Guiming Palace, his expression heavy. "How did you know?"
"Just a guess." Su Luo chuckled, shrugged, and said nonchalantly, "I didn't expect to guess right."
That's what she said, but it was clearly a deliberate attempt to provoke Huangfu Yusheng. It wasn't just a guess; she simply felt that it was unreasonable for a member of the royal family, especially the crown prince, to be unable to come up with the money. Either it was intentional, or he had a backup plan.
As for the price tag of Guiming Palace.
It's just that Su Luo took a liking to him.
Is it wrong to buy something you like? No, it's not wrong!
"you!"
Huangfu Yusheng took a deep breath and slightly raised his hand. Just as he was about to use his skill, he discovered that there seemed to be a problem with it.
This is? !
As soon as [Red Eyes] were activated, Su Luo raised an eyebrow in slight surprise, looking at the words that appeared in his eyes.
I think, therefore I am (budget version)
Five words for talent, this is the first time I've seen it, but unfortunately there was a low-end version of the words next to it, and in the blink of an eye, this line of words was replaced by several other words.
[Idealism].
The five-word talent instantly became two words, indeed... a low-end version.
No wonder Huangfu Yusheng has no sense of crisis at all; he's an idealist. Whether he wins or loses is just a matter of his own opinion.
However, it seems that his abilities have been somewhat limited.
It's a bit... a pity.
I really look forward to Huangfu Yusheng being able to use the complete "I think, therefore I am" technique. It would be a good opportunity to try out her own "Forbidden Eye" and perfectly replicate it.
You're a believer in idealism, aren't you? So am I. We'll see whose ideas are more powerful and superior.
"Lord Huangfu, you're not trying to renege on your debt, are you?"
Seeing his abilities suddenly limited, Huangfu Yusheng clenched his hands under his clothes, then slowly loosened them. "It's just a Guiming Palace. If Lord Luo Su likes it, I'll give it to you."
"Tsk tsk." Upon hearing this, Su Luo stretched out her hand and shook her finger. "It's not a gift, it's something you gave me after losing to it."
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Yusheng waved his hand, his face cold as he prepared to leave. "Fine, you've got guts, Luo Su. If you're really that powerful, come to our Ghost King City and take them yourself. I've prepared all these things for you!"
“Okay.” Su Luo nodded, genuinely grateful for Huangfu Yusheng’s invitation. She really needed to go to the site to collect it, and while she was there, she could also take a stroll around the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City and familiarize herself with her territory beforehand. How wonderful!
"You'd better clean it thoroughly. I don't like things that other people have used. Use new bedding and utensils. If you don't have enough money, you can come to me for more!"
One sentence angered Huangfu Yusheng, who was walking up the stairs, so much so that he lost his footing and tumbled down.
Watching Huangfu Yusheng disappear from sight, Su Luo coldly patted the dust off her body and wiped her hands with a wet wipe. It seemed that she had touched something unclean, and her disgust was obvious, without any attempt to hide it.
Quiet.
It was unusually quiet.
Even without Huangfu Yusheng, the other monsters dared not act recklessly. After all, the young man in front of them had even tricked the royal family of monsters. Moreover, with the wealth he had brought out, he was fearless enough to go head-to-head with the entire Monster King City!
"Lord Luo Su, you..."
What should you call me?
Su Luo coldly looked at the human base chief who had been promoted to be a dog by the monster royal family, and sneered, "You still remember what Huangfu Yusheng just said, right?"
"Now, I am the base commander of the Imperial Capital Base."
Who could have imagined things would turn out this way? Huangfu Yusheng did promise, but now that he's gone, the position of base commander...
Before anyone could react, Su Luo kicked the base commander in the chest with such force that the sound of ribs breaking could be heard.
"I don't like disobedient dogs, nor do I like dogs that take other people as their masters."
The implication is that this is the fate of those who were promoted by Huangfu Yusheng because they sided with the Gui Clan!
"We are willing to acknowledge you as the base commander, and from now on, the Imperial Capital Base will follow your lead!"
A familiar voice, a humble tone, a respectful attitude. Su Luo looked in the direction of the voice. In her memory, the person who had always been serious and aloof in front of her was now kneeling before everyone and the monsters, bowing to her!
Beside him was a stylishly dressed, well-maintained lady who knelt beside the man, fawningly expressing her loyalty.
