Xu Lanshan truly deserves to be called the strongest person in Yandu. Whether it is his strength, level, methods, or mentality, he is unmatched by ordinary people.
In particular, his mastery of the art of ruling has reached a level of unparalleled skill.
If it were anyone else, they probably would have already revealed all their cards under Xu Lanshan's combination of kindness and coercion.
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Luckily, I'm exceptionally intelligent!"
Just then, the second item for auction was brought up on stage.
"The following is the second item in this auction: a pet cub with a potential level of Heavenly Evolution Stage 3 and a bloodline level of Heavenly Evolution Stage 5—the Megalodon!"
As Yang Meier introduced the auction items, she secretly glanced at Xu Lanshan below the stage, her voice trembling slightly.
This is a legendary figure from Yandu!
For ordinary people like her, they could only watch her on TV on a regular basis. But one day, she never expected that she would be able to host an auction with Xu Lanshan in attendance!
It's all thanks to Boss Lu!
Thinking of this, Yang Meier couldn't help but look at Lu Yuan, whose expression hadn't changed at all from beginning to end.
Sitting side by side with such a heavyweight figure, Boss Lu remained calm and composed, maintaining his indifferent expression. He was truly remarkable!
He truly deserves to be called the man who can organize such an auction!
"I can't lose either. I must host perfectly and absolutely cannot let down Boss Lu's trust!"
Yang Meier cheered herself up in her heart and put on a bright smile again.
"The starting bid for the Megalodon is also 50 million Blue Star Coins, and each bid must be at least one million higher!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of bidding erupted throughout the venue.
"Fifty million!"
"One hundred million!"
"Holy crap! Who's going to come up and bid 50 million right away?"
"It's Zhao Hun, the captain of the first squad! I heard his younger brother just awakened his water-attribute beast-taming talent. This giant crocodile was probably bought as a gift for his brother, right?"
"This brother is so amazing! I'm so envious!"
"Hmph! So what if it's Zhao Hun? I'll offer 110 million!"
"..."
After a period of intense bidding.
soon.
The second item was ultimately purchased by Zhao Hun for 330 million.
"You're too kind!"
Zhao Hun wore a victorious smile, and his words seemed humble, but his eyes revealed an undisguised smugness.
Lu Yuan quietly withdrew his gaze.
The captain of the first squad of the Divine Martial Pavilion was somewhat different from what he had imagined. He seemed quite arrogant. It seemed best to minimize contact with them during the expedition to avoid causing any further trouble.
...
As time goes by.
One item after another was auctioned off.
As everyone knows, the Divine Beast Auction House has prepared ten items for this auction, which may include cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts.
However.
The seventh item has now been brought to the stage, but it is still a pet cub, which immediately displeased the guests who came for cultivation techniques and spiritual weapons.
"Where are the cultivation techniques? Where are the spiritual weapons? I came here because of the rumors, but where are they?!"
“It was indeed at last Sunday’s auction, but I don’t know why it hasn’t appeared this time…”
"Could it be that the auction house itself released the news to deliberately lure us to the auction?"
More and more voices of doubt grew from the audience, and everyone began to speculate that the cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts were just gimmicks deliberately released by the Divine Beast Auction House to attract customers, and that they would never actually be put up for auction.
so.
When Yang Meier announced on stage that the eighth item to be auctioned was also a pet cub, their dissatisfaction at being deceived finally erupted!
"What kind of bullshit auction house is this?! So many items, and they're all still pet cubs! What would a Beast Tamer of the Earth Spirit level like me need these little things for?! Utterly disappointed, I'm leaving!"
"They promised to auction cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts, but this is all? Humph! I can't stay here any longer!"
"Let's go! This auction house is just treating people like fools, I'm never coming back!"
"Are you leaving already? Don't rush, there are still two items up for auction. What if there are cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts among them?"
"Dream on! Cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts are incredibly rare; they'd be the most prized possessions in any noble family. How could they possibly be auctioned off? Humph! What a waste of my time..."
"..."
Amidst angry shouts, people in the hall stood up and angrily walked out.
These people were all there for the cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts. As important figures who had the confidence to participate in the auction of such precious items, they were very dissatisfied with the deceptive practices of the Divine Beast Auction House and were determined never to come to this deceitful auction house again.
Some of the guests who had been watching quietly shook their heads and left as well.
Auctioning pet cubs targets only a small number of people who still need to contract and tame beasts, and it holds no appeal for them whatsoever.
Now that someone has taken the lead in leaving, these people naturally follow suit.
As many guests got up and left, the staff in the auction house were in a panic.
This was the first time they had ever seen so many guests leave an auction early.
What does this mean?
This means that these people were truly disappointed with the Divine Beast Auction House, which is why they left in anger, and it is almost impossible for them to ever set foot in the auction house again!
They finally found such well-paying jobs, are they about to face the risk of unemployment?
soon.
Nearly a third of the people in the room left the auction.
Faced with this scene, Lu Yuan remained calm and didn't even frown, which made Xu Lanshan, who was sitting next to him, show an expression of great interest.
"With so many guests leaving early, isn't Mr. Lu worried?"
"What's the rush?" Lu Yuan smiled calmly. "The best things are naturally saved for last. Leaving now is their loss, which means they are destined to miss out on the treasure."
Upon hearing this, Xu Lanshan's eyes lit up.
"Does Mr. Lu's statement mean that the good stuff is finally about to be introduced?"
"Mr. Xu, please feel free to observe."
As Lu Yuan finished speaking, Yang Meier on the stage announced that the ninth item would be auctioned next.
Unlike before, this ninth item was not a container carried up by staff, but a wooden box held in their hands.
Amidst the gazes of the crowd, some filled with doubt, some with curiosity, and some with surprise, Yang Meier smiled gently.
"Next up is the ninth item in this auction: a fourth-tier, low-grade cultivation technique—the Spirit Yang Finger!"
