"Good, very good!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Silas's eyes.
"Since you want to play, I'll show you what real wealth is!"
Without further hesitation, he slammed the price increase button in front of him.
This time, he staked all the funds he could muster!
"One million five hundred thousand gold soul coins!"
It's fortunate that he's a lone individual with no family to support, and he's accumulated some wealth over the years by touring various places; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to raise so much.
"Whoosh—"
The room erupted in chaos.
"One and a half million! My God!"
"They've gone mad, completely mad!"
"From 1.021 million to 1.5 million? No wonder he's a gambler!"
"Now it should be over, right? Who else dares to follow?"
Inside the private room where Tang San was.
Flanders opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to close it.
"Good heavens... 1.5 million..."
He smacked his lips and looked at Yu Xiaogang.
"Xiaogang, what do you mean by this picture..."
Is it really worth the price?
Yu Xiaogang frowned.
"If I had known whether it was worth it or not, would I have given it to you in the first place? We should have split it among the three of us!"
On the auction stage, DouDou was also taken aback by the sudden sky-high price.
But she was highly professional and reacted immediately, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
"One and a half million gold soul coins! This distinguished guest has bid one and a half million gold soul coins!"
Upon hearing the offer, Long Gong Meng Shu's face turned ashen.
The snake spirit woman beside him, Chaotianxiang, also sighed deeply and gently patted the back of her husband's hand.
"Old man, let it go."
The snake woman's voice carried a hint of helplessness.
“One and a half million…we can manage to scrape together that.”
"But I don't know how the family will survive the next few years!"
"It's not worth taking such a big risk."
Long Gong Meng Shu slowly loosened his clenched fist.
The allure of that ancient heritage is simply too great.
But reality is cruel!
"well……"
Long Gong Meng Shu sighed heavily, leaned back in his chair, his eyes filled with resentment and disappointment.
"We...give up."
He uttered those three words with difficulty, as if he had used up all his strength.
DouDou's clear voice rang out again.
"One and a half million gold soul coins! Is there a higher offer?"
"One and a half million gold soul coins, for the first time!"
......
A smug smile finally appeared on Silas's face.
In his view, this price was enough to crush all competitors.
This treasure map, and his bright future, are already his.
However, just when he was feeling triumphant...
Inside a private room, Xiao Wu puffed out her cheeks, her face flushed with anger.
"Damn it! That scoundrel, he just had to take it from me!"
One and a half million gold soul coins!
"Hmph, I'm angry!"
Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment; it hurt to spend so much money.
But then I thought that after this auction, I would probably have to return to the Star Dou Great Forest and wouldn't be coming back to the human world for a while.
Since that's the case...
Her small hand gently pressed the price increase button in front of her again.
On the auction stage, DouDou was about to call out a second time.
Suddenly, the numbers on the price display screen in front of her started to fluctuate slightly again.
DouDou's expression froze once again.
She blinked, then blinked again, to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
A feeling of being both amused and exasperated welled up inside me.
She cleared her throat and announced in a tone that was trying hard to remain calm, yet still carried a hint of strangeness:
"Uh... another VIP has bid, 1.5 million... and 1,000 gold soul coins!"
"puff--"
Inside the room, someone suddenly spat out a mouthful of tea.
Immediately following were bursts of coughing and suppressed chuckles.
"Another...another thousand?"
"Is this guy obsessed with the number one?"
"That's amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
"I would call it a unique skill!"
Inside the private room where Silas was.
The smug smile on his face froze at the corner of his mouth.
"One and a half million...000?"
Silas's vision went black.
He felt his blood pressure soaring at an alarming rate.
Who the hell is this?!
You did this on purpose, didn't you! You had to do it this way!
However, he really doesn't have a single gold soul coin left!
Could it be... could it be that we're just going to watch this easy prize slip away?
And in such an extremely frustrating way?
Silas's chest heaved like a bellows, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
On the auction stage, seeing that no one was bidding, DouDou proceeded with the auction according to procedure.
"One million five hundred thousand one thousand gold soul coins, for the first time!"
No one answered.
"One million five hundred thousand one thousand gold soul coins, the second time!"
Silas closed his eyes, veins bulging on his forehead, fists clenched, and finally let go helplessly.
"One million five hundred thousand one thousand gold soul coins, the third time!"
"Bang!"
The auction gavel fell crisply.
"make a deal!"
"Congratulations to this distinguished guest for successfully bidding on this mysterious treasure map for 1,500,100 gold soul coins!"
"If our esteemed guest does indeed obtain the secret treasure, you are welcome to return to our auction house for another auction!"
