Chapter 475 Peach Auction
Jin Mingjun waved his hand. "Well, it's nothing. I just think it's a waste of time to argue with these hairy-headed women."
"Ah, then what does it mean to not waste time?" Magna scratched her head, looking a little confused.
She seems to usually go shopping, buy clothes, pick out jewelry, etc., and the most she does is go everywhere to look at handsome men. Is this considered a waste of time?
Jin Mingjun pondered for a moment, thinking of his packed schedule in the Global Village: fighting monsters and completing quests, queuing up for meals at Louwailou, and finally waiting to be randomly selected to compete in two matches at the Colosseum in the evening. This would allow him to exercise his supernatural powers and make money at the same time. Only then could his life be considered fulfilling.
Compared to when she was in the Empire and went shopping for clothes, arguing with people like Patricia was such a waste of time and life.
Thinking about it this way, she began to miss her days in the Global Village. How about going to ask the Third Prince if she could take a teleportation array back to the Global Village?
However, these things cannot be revealed without the permission of the Third Prince, not even by the silly girl Magna.
She put her hand on Magna's shoulder and said with a smile, "Anyway, these trivial things are just a waste of time. You might as well go and stalk that handsome guy you like and feast your eyes on him. Oh, by the way, who have you taken a fancy to recently?"
Magna opened her mouth and blurted out, "You idiot."
Jin Mingjun: "Except my second brother."
Magna puffed her cheeks and snorted. Damn Junjun for not letting her covet her second brother. She had no choice but to pout and talk about the man she was infatuated with recently. "Well, before second brother Jin, I did have my eye on a handsome man. He's Vice President Lan of the Imperial Research Institute. He should be a colleague of your eldest brother, Junjun. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and is elegant and handsome."
After all this chatter, Jin Mingjun's infatuated heart began to flutter. Is Vice President Lan really that good-looking?
She seemed to have heard her eldest brother say that Vice Dean Lan was a true genius, but she had never heard what he looked like.
On the other side, O'Brien also went through great pains to grab a piece of peach and now, with a smile on his face, he handed the small toothpick to Luo Xian like a treasure, blushing and saying expectantly, "Miss Luo, this, this is for you."
Luo Xian was stunned as she sniffed the peach fragrance, then she took a step back, shook her head with a faint smile, and refused, "No, thanks."
O'Brien's smile froze, his expression slightly falling, but he still tried to persuade her, "I heard that this peach is really sweet and delicious. Miss Luo, don't you really want to try it?"
Luo Xian pursed her red lips, her eyes moving slightly. This sweet fragrance was indeed very tempting.
Jin Mingjin came over without knowing when, with an impeccable and gentle smile on his face, and said softly, "Cousin, since Miss Luo doesn't like it, don't force her. If you don't want to eat it, why not let me try it? I've been craving the taste of this peach for a long time."
Seeing that Luo Xian still didn't say anything, O'Brien could only force a smile and said, "My cousin is right. Since Miss Luo doesn't like it, I will give it to you."
Jin Mingjin took the peach handed to him by O'Brien and took a bite of it with peace of mind.
Magna was dumbfounded. "Didn't my second brother say he didn't want to eat it?"
Jin Mingjun blinked, not quite understanding. His second brother clearly had a lot of peaches in his hand, so why was he so interested in the small piece in cousin O'Brien's hand?
And it was obvious that my cousin gave that piece of peach to Luo Xian to show his affection.
Could it be that the second brother knew that Luo Xian had a lover, and was afraid that his cousin would foolishly rush into it, so he took direct action to cut off his cousin's love for him?
Patricia on the other side was also puzzled and her face turned red with anger.
Even the Earl's daughter, Luo Xian, was given peaches, but what about her admirers? They were slurping away like pigs, and not a single one of them even remembered to give her a piece. This was a profound humiliation for Patricia, the Imperial Rose, who had been spoiled by men.
So she also started to hate Luo Xian, who she already looked down upon because she was hanging out with Jin Mingjun.
In her anger, she didn't notice that the "poor little girl" Lolina beside her also had a very ugly expression on her face, and her eyes were full of resentment when she looked at Luo Xian.
O'Brien, clueless, didn't notice anything was wrong. He scratched his head and asked Jin Mingjin, "Second cousin, do you like peaches? How about I bid three for you? The auctioneer over there announced that the peaches will be auctioned off in ten batches, three each time. This way, my chances of getting one are better."
Jin Mingjin glanced at his silly cousin and laughed. The silly boy had asked him about the source of the fruit before, wanting to skip the middleman and buy cheaper ones. But when it came to his cousin, he was generous.
He patted O'Brien's shoulder and led him to the sofa. "No need. I can buy it myself if I want to eat. You don't have as many energy coins as I do. Besides, Miss Yun and I have some friendship. If you want to eat it, there is still a way."
Jin Mingjin leaned close to O'Brien's ear and spoke the second half of the sentence in a low voice using the space folding method of voice transmission.
It is definitely something that even those who have awakened their hearing ability cannot hear.
O'Brien's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was about to say something when Jin Mingjin looked at him and swallowed it back. Then he nodded happily and returned Jin Mingjin's look, "I understand, I understand, second cousin. I will do what I can."
The two cousins smiled at each other knowingly, then sat on the sofa and watched the auction happily. From time to time, they would join in the fun and bid a price, but they were all within a safe range and had no intention of stepping out.
The subsequent ten auctions of three peaches were very popular. The first set of three peaches was sold for a price almost the same as a bunch of grapes. The price soared to 790,000 and was won by the Garcia family.
The price of the second group of peaches dropped slightly, and the final transaction prices of the third, fourth, and fifth groups continued to decline. Until the seventh group, under Pei Yu's eloquent speech and the pressure of the limited remaining peaches, the enthusiasm of the nobles participating in the auction revived, and the final transaction price slowly rose.
The tenth group of peaches was sold at a price of 820,000 yuan, which was higher than the price of the first bunch of grapes.
It can be seen that Pei Yu is really good as a host.
The total price of ten sets of thirty peaches was 7.9 million energy coins. The shocked Yun Qimu was so happy that he almost went silly. It was so easy to make money from these nobles.
