Tang Yue knew about auctions. In their world, rare spiritual treasures were also sold in this way.
“Three million seven hundred thousand rubles.” Dongfang Yi’s voice trembled slightly. Tang Yue’s eyes widened involuntarily. She didn’t know the value of a ruble, but if it was in large denominations, three million seven hundred thousand rubles… wow.
She only has a little over 100,000 yuan now. And she knows that no one in the entire South Island Legion is richer than her.
Tang Yue's eyes darkened further. So the Russians were this wealthy, and so willing to spend money on Chinese artifacts. What did this prove?
Tang Yue's lips curled up. "Alright, then I'll wait a little longer. It's inconvenient for me to collect the money from them one by one. I'll collect the auction house's money later."
Tang Yue didn't react to the bidding; she had already finished exploring the entire White Building. She also heard from the people backstage that the auction was originally planned for three days, but due to the recent unrest in Russia, they decided to finish the auction tonight for safety reasons.
Tang Yue saw that the artifacts were now free of dirt and had been well preserved. The Russian experts were quite efficient.
A man in a black suit approached Alexander Ivanov, the wealthy man who had just made the bid. The man whispered a few words in Alexander's ear, and Alexander Ivanov immediately stood up, looking rather displeased.
However, he didn't forget his items, and within just one hour, he had spent 12.9 million rubles. He hurriedly went to the backstage area to hand over the items.
Tang Yue thought to herself, "Here it comes." But when she saw the wealthy Alexander Ivanov take a stack of papers out of his pocket, write a string of numbers on them, stamp them, tear them off, and hand them to the auction house staff, Tang Yue's expression cracked.
The staff member respectfully accepted the items and then handed them to Alexander Ivanov, the wealthy man who had won the bid.
"That's it?" Tang Yue was taken aback. Where were the rubles? She hadn't seen a single one. Forgive Tang Yue for forgetting about checks. She had her own spatial storage, allowing her to take any amount of money, so she hadn't considered how other people got their money.
But this is unacceptable! If everyone at the auction tonight writes down a string of numbers on a piece of paper, what's the point of her waiting here?
Tang Yue was a little angry. Ignoring Dongfang Yi, she used a spatial teleportation technique to appear between the wealthy Alexander Ivanov and the staff member.
The wealthy Alexander Ivanov took the box and felt that the weight was wrong. Putting aside the other items, even the Buddha statue, made of bronze, was not light. But why were these boxes stacked together so light?
The wealthy Alexander Ivanov gave the staff member a deep look, even though he had pretended to use force when he picked them up. He stared at the staff member, placed the boxes on the staff member's desk, and slowly opened them.
