"Five thousand six hundred spirit stones!"
"Five thousand six hundred and fifty spirit stones!"
"Six thousand spirit stones!"
Xue Huan's attention was drawn to the sound of bidding coming from a stall in front. She walked over and found that there was a large group of people gathered in front of the stall, most of whom were women, who were vying to bid.
She squeezed forward and found that in the center of the stall was an egg-sized purple star stone. Under the refraction of the light, it released a brilliant and noble purple glow. No matter from which angle you looked at it, it was heartbreakingly beautiful.
The stall owner sat behind the stall with his arms crossed, with a sign hanging on his chest that read "Auction of Purple Star Stone, starting price one hundred spirit stones, wins to the highest bidder."
I see.
Xue Huan only knew that Purple Star Stone was very popular, but she didn't expect it to reach this point. An egg-sized piece could be sold for thousands of spirit stones. Then how much would the purple star stones piled up like mountains in her space be worth!
You should know that a piece of low-grade spirit stone is equivalent to 1,000 spirit beads, and the purchasing power of 1 spirit bead is equivalent to one penny in the secular world, and one penny is equivalent to one dollar in modern times. In other words, a piece of low-grade spirit stone is equivalent to 1,000 yuan!
10 spirit stones are worth 10,000 yuan, 100 spirit stones are worth 100,000 yuan!
1,000 spirit stones is 1 million.
When Xue Huan converted the price in her mind, it had already reached 7,200 spirit stones, or 7.2 million.
Wow, it turns out that no matter what era it is, women’s purchasing power is so strong, and women’s love for jewelry is so crazy.
Xue Huan was so excited after hearing this that she wanted to take out the purple star stone in the space and auction it off.
But in the end I resisted the urge.
It’s my first time in the black market, so it’s better to keep a low profile.
Suddenly, a arrogant and domineering voice interrupted: "I offer 8,800 spirit stones!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a silence around them, obviously everyone was shocked by the price.
The woman in green dress and pink mask raised her chin proudly, obviously very proud of this scene.
Xue Huan recognized this woman. Wasn't she the one who had tried to steal her room at the Tianheng Inn yesterday? Although she had changed her dress today, her voice remained the same.
Wang Qiubai said to the stall owner, "I offer the highest price. Bring me the Purple Star Stone."
At this moment, a voice rang out: "Nine thousand spirit stones."
The person who made the bid was Xue Huan. It would have been fine if she hadn't met her, but since she had, she didn't mind giving this young lady a hard time. After all, she was so vindictive.
Wang Qiubai shot an angry look at Xue Huan. Xue Huan had deliberately changed her voice when bidding just now, so Wang Qiubai did not recognize her.
"You dare to bid against me?"
Xue Huan laughed: "The highest bidder wins. Why shouldn't I dare to compete with you?" Does this lady really think that the universe revolves around her and that everyone else will back off once she names her price?
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiubai felt even more disgusted and resentful towards Xue Huan. She was just as ungrateful as the bitch who had competed with her in the inn yesterday.
"Hmph, let's see who will finally get the Purple Star Stone! Ten thousand spirit stones!"
Xue Huan followed up leisurely, "Eleven thousand."
Wang Qiubai was about to bid, but the maid beside her pulled her back, "Miss, we don't have that much money on us."
Although the maid spoke softly, Xue Huan still heard it. "Tsk, you're pretending to be rich even though you have no money. It seems this Purple Star Stone is destined to be mine."
Wang Qiubai was so angry that his chest hurt. He shot poisonous arrows at Xue Huan with his eyes, wishing he could shoot her into a hedgehog and kill her on the spot.
As a young lady from the Wang family, how could she bear such provocation?
He immediately called out the price: "Twelve thousand spirit stones!"
Xue Huan heard her tone and it seemed that she had reached her limit, so she kindly said, "Forget it, since you like it so much, I'll give it to you. I don't care about a piece of purple star stone."
What does "give in" mean? What does "not want" mean?
Wang Qiubai was so angry that his chest felt like it was going to explode.
Although she is the daughter of the Wang family, her family only gave her 10,000 spirit stones for this trip. These 10,000 spirit stones are her tuition for Lingyao Academy and her living expenses!
Although she had saved some spirit stones, they only added up to more than two thousand. In one go, all the spirit stones were spent!
If it weren't for the woman with the purple butterfly mask, how could she have spent so much extra money!
Don't let her meet that bitch again, otherwise she will tear her face off!
Twelve thousand spirit stones were given away just like that. Wang Qiubai felt heartbroken, but he couldn't regret it, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to leave the black market.
There are many rules in the black market, one of which is that you are not allowed to make empty bids during the auction. If you make a bid but cannot pay, the consequences will not be good.
You will also be blacklisted by the black market and won’t be able to come in again next time.
Since the person behind the scenes was able to set up such a large black market under the nose of the Zhou family, it means that his power is definitely not small. Although Wang Qiubai is willful and arrogant, he is not stupid and dare not go against the black market.
I could only pay the money with infinite frustration.
Even the joy of getting the Purple Star Stone was greatly reduced.
She was unwilling to give up. When she took the Purple Star Stone, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a bronze fish symbol placed in the corner of the stall. Although the surface of the fish symbol was covered with rust and did not look very good, she had an inexplicable intuition that she should get the fish symbol.
"Boss, I spent so much money to buy your Purple Star Stone, you give me this fish amulet as a gift."
If her tone had been softer, the boss might have agreed. After all, he just picked up the fish token casually and it wasn't worth much. But Wang Qiubai's tone was too matter-of-fact, almost like an order to him.
The boss would be very unhappy when he heard this, it would be strange if he agreed.
"No, if you want one hundred spirit stones."
Wang Qiubai now has only a few hundred spirit stones in his hand, and he needs food, accommodation and lodging for the next few days, so he can't afford the expenses at all. He took another look at the fish talisman and had no choice but to give up.
"Humph, forget it if you don't want to give it to me. A broken fish talisman is still selling for a hundred spirit stones. You might as well just go and rob it."
The stall owner was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Wang Qiubai turned around and left with her maid, but after walking for a while, he still couldn't let go of the fish talisman. He always felt that if he didn't get it, it would be like losing something precious.
She gritted her teeth and turned back, but when she returned to the stall, the fish talisman was gone.
"Boss, where's the bronze fish charm?"
“Sold.”
“Who did you sell it to?”
"A woman wearing a purple butterfly mask." The stall owner still remembered it because it was just bought.
Wang Qiubai was furious and screamed, "It's her again! This bitch always steals my things!"
The stall owner gave her a strange look. Is this woman mentally ill? She paid for it, how can you say she's stealing her stuff?
She doesn't buy it herself, so she doesn't allow others to buy it?
Wang Qiubai pressed the issue, "Did you see where she went?"
"No."
Wang Qiubai stomped his feet in hatred, and the feeling that his treasure had been taken away became even stronger.
But there are so many people in the black market, how can she find that bitch?
