Chapter 636: Being too clever (Part 3)
People gave Gu Yunting a warm round of applause. Spending 18 billion at one time was indeed a big deal and rare anywhere else.
Even if the pill recipe is refined, it is still a big question as to when the 18 billion can be earned back.
Gu Yunting also thought that he had defeated Lin Zhen, and a smug look appeared on his face.
The King of the Realm beside him said to him: "Mr. Gu, I guess Lin Zhen may not have only this one target. He should have more than 10 billion in his hands. We can snipe him once, but it will be too difficult to snipe him a second time."
"Don't worry. Before Lin Zhen came, I had already calculated his wealth. I have nearly 40 billion in my hands. It won't be a problem to snipe him a second time."
"But how can we determine Lin Zhen's goal?"
"Haha~! It's very simple. He is a warrior and an alchemist. His target is either the recipe or the technique. I have seen the techniques being auctioned here. There are two types of techniques. Lin Zhen will definitely choose one of them."
"Oh, which two?"
"One is the Five Styles of Falling Stars, and the other is the Taiyuan Sword Technique. Which one do you think he will choose?"
The King of the Realm hesitated for a moment and said, "We have also looked up Lin Zhen's information. He has always used a gun. Although the Taiyuan Sword Technique is an ancient secret book, it is not suitable for him. I guess he will choose the Five Styles of Falling Stars."
Gu Yunting laughed: "Brother, you still don't understand this cunning boy. He is the best at acting. You all saw that he can use a gun. Yes, he can use a gun, but compared with using a sword, it is far inferior. I dare to guarantee with my life that he will definitely choose swordsmanship, because his foundation in swordsmanship is terrifying even to me."
"How could that be? The information clearly shows that."
"Do you still remember those dead domain kings?" Gu Yunting suddenly asked.
Without waiting for the Realm King to answer, he continued, "Those Domain Kings were all killed by Lin Zhen's one finger. At the time, he was facing a collective attack from several people and was engaged in a close combat. It was too late to use a gun, so that was when his trump card was forced out. This guy actually cultivated the finger-flicking sword energy!"
"No way! I think I heard that this is a kind of Kung Fu called finger-snapping sword energy."
"You remembered correctly. Hua Hua Tai Sui is a master, but Lin Zhen has also mastered this skill. How deep do you think his understanding of the sword is? This person has never purchased any skills since he came to the Yuan Realm. It would be strange if he was not moved when he saw the Tai Yuan Sword Skill this time."
The King of the Realm beside him suddenly realized and admired Gu Yunting's divine calculation immensely.
If it were him, he might have been killed by Lin Zhen today without knowing it. On the contrary, Gu Yunting knew through Lin Zhen's conspiracy everywhere and was able to kill Lin Zhen for the first or even the second time.
Meeting Gu Yunting was truly Lin Zhen’s greatest tragedy.
********* There were a lot of items being auctioned this time, and the appearance of treasures one after another attracted many people to fight for them.
There were even two immortal realm warriors present, but they were fighting for a treasure called Mountain Jade. The two men also bid hundreds of billions for it, and in the end one of them won.
Now that the treasure has been found, all the immortal warriors got up and left. The higher the level of the warrior, the more precious they feel time is, and they basically will not waste time on meaningless things.
Although the immortal warrior had left, everyone felt more relaxed. After all, it took a lot of courage to compete with the immortal warrior for the treasure.
The emergence of a set of exercises has attracted people's attention.
Ancient book, Taiyuan Sword Technique! The host introduced enthusiastically that this sword technique came from a warrior in the immortal realm and was extremely powerful. He said it was so exaggerated that the people who were already extremely interested in sword techniques paid more attention to it.
"Everyone, I have already introduced this Taiyuan Sword Technique to you. Now is the time for the auction. The starting price is 2 billion, and the minimum bid increase each time must not be less than 100 million. Start now!"
Before the host finished speaking, someone directly offered a price of 3 billion.
I originally wanted to use this method to repel some competitors, but I didn't expect that someone would immediately offer a price of 3.5 billion.
Before he had even finished talking about 3.5 billion, 4 billion had already appeared.
Most of the competitors retreated directly, but the price of the sword technique continued to rise, and soon climbed to 7 billion.
At this time, Lin Zhen took action again.
"Eight billion!"
Lin Zhen had just finished speaking when Gu Yunting took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Alchemists are also warriors. I also use swords. I've taken a fancy to this sword technique book. It's worth 10 billion!"
Lin Zhenyi glared, "You said if you fancy it, it's yours? One hundred and ten billion!"
Seeing that the two people were competing again, almost everyone present stopped bidding.
One is an old-time tycoon in the medicine market, and the other is an upstart whose business has just become booming. Both are wealthy, so try not to compete with them.
The two of them exchanged views, and when Lin Zhen shouted out 15 billion again, Gu Yunting once again offered a sky-high price of 18 billion.
"Lin Zhen, if you can afford a higher price than this, then this secret book will be yours. But I have to warn you, if you bid here, you must make sure that you have that much money in your bank card. Otherwise, even if you bid a high price, the transaction will be invalidated and you will have to pay compensation."
Gu Yunting doesn’t have much money left. He just spent 180 yuan and this time he spent another 180 yuan. If Lin Zhen raises the price again, it will be difficult for him to do it.
But he was not afraid at all, because he knew how much money Lin Zhen had. This is called knowing yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
Sure enough, the price of one hundred and eighty was Lin Zhen’s Achilles’ heel. After hearing this price, Lin Zhen could no longer raise the price.
After the host called out three times, the hammer fell and the deal was done. Gu Yunting won again!
The enthusiastic people watching around applauded Gu Yunting excitedly. It turned out that the old ones are the wisest. Lin Zhen's financial resources are still far from comparable to Gu Yunting's.
Gu Yunting smiled and clasped his fists to those around him. He had made a profit this time. Not only had he severely humiliated Lin Zhen, but he also got these two things exactly what he needed.
In other words, his money was not wasted, but spent wisely.
******** The transaction amount was 18 billion, of which 900 million was paid to the auction house as a 5% handling fee, and the remaining 17.1 billion was deposited into Lin Zhen's card.
Seeing that there were already 31 billion in the card, Lin Zhen knew that he would definitely get the skills today.
The Five Styles of Falling Stars, in fact, this is Lin Zhen’s ultimate goal.
Gu Yunting's reaction was also within Lin Zhen's expectations. After all, he didn't really understand Lin Zhen, and it was easy for him to go astray under Lin Zhen's misleading.
This is called being too clever by half. A book on Taiyuan swordsmanship led Gu Yunting astray.
Although the ancient elixir formula and Taiyuan swordsmanship fell into Gu Yunting's hands, Lin Zhen was not worried at all.
What is his talent? Devouring! Depriving of memory! Searching the soul! As ancient books, the ancient elixir recipe and Taiyuan swordsmanship can only be provided to one person to learn. Once Gu Yunting learns them, the books will automatically lose their power and become waste, and can only be permanently retained in the memory of the learner.
But Lin Zhen was not afraid. Gu Yunting was the enemy. As long as he was killed, all those lost would be returned.
********** It was soon time for the auction house’s grand finale, the auction of the Starfall V.
This universal martial arts secret manual attracted the interest of almost everyone present, and the starting price of 3 billion was still being bid on with constant competition.
Gu Yunting leaned back in his chair, watching all this with a smile. He had already gained a lot today, so he decided to just watch the fun here.
Lin Zhen also joined the competition, bidding up the price by hundreds of millions, and soon the price reached 12 billion.
The main opponent competing with Lin Zhen now is the King of the Realm who is beside Gu Yunting.
This King of the Realm also took a fancy to the Five Styles of Falling Stars, but his financial resources were not as good as Gu Yunting's, with only 13 billion. When Lin Zhen called out 12 billion, he hesitated.
Gu Yunting glanced at him and said, "Brother, what are you waiting for? Keep raising the price. I don't have enough money now. Lin Zhen's main target was snatched away by me twice. This is his last hope. You can't give him a chance."
"Mr. Gu, I want to, but I only have 13 billion in my hand, which is all the wealth I have accumulated over the years. I am afraid I am no match for Lin Zhen."
"It doesn't matter. You call first and see how he reacts."
This King Kai gritted his teeth and asked for 13 billion, and Lin Zhen immediately raised the price to 15 billion!
"Mr. Gu, what should we do now?"
Gu Yunting blinked. Almost everyone knew about the feud between him and Lin Zhen. If he didn't crush Lin Zhen to death completely, someone would definitely laugh at him.
He knew how much money Lin Zhen had. If he raised the price by 18 billion, Lin Zhen would be finished.
His good friend has 13 billion in his hand, and he still has 5 billion in his hand. If he gives the support to him, Lin Zhen will gain nothing this time.
Although the money was all gone, he still had some medicine in stock. If he sold them, he would still have a lot. Let's go for it! "I'll transfer 5 billion to you, and you get this secret book for me!" Gu Yunting transferred 5 billion to his friend without hesitation.
"Mr. Gu, let's make a deal. You owed me 4 billion for many years and I didn't have the nerve to ask for it. Regardless of whether this auction is successful or not, I will not pay you back the 5 billion."
"You don't have to pay it back, just defeat Lin Zhen!" Gu Yunting also tried his best. He even forgot that he owed someone money. It was useless to regret it now. It was worth it to defeat Lin Zhen.
"One hundred and eighteen billion!" The King of the Realm beside him made an offer.
Gu Yunting looked at Lin Zhen with a smile on his face: "Lin Zhen, this book is bought by me for my friend, and it's still 18 billion. If you can raise the price, this book will be yours, but do you have any money left? Hahaha!"
Gu Yunting's generosity shocked everyone. He had spent two consecutive 18 billion yuan on bidding, and he could still do it. How much money must this guy have?
At this time, Lin Feng whispered in Lin Zhen's ear: "Boss, I feel that Gu Yunting has reached his limit. Believe me, my feeling is very accurate. He has no money left."
Lin Zhen nodded slightly and said a price that made Gu Yunting vomit blood: "One hundred and eighty-one billion!"
