"Auntie Lin? Auntie Lin?" Seeing that the girl didn't respond after he called her twice, Chen Chu had no choice but to reach out and tap twice on the table beside the girl.
Lin Yan, who was immersed in the properties of the old man's sticker, came back to her senses and looked at Chen Chu with a little confusion.
"The auction has begun." Chen Chu motioned Lin Yan to look ahead.
Lin looked up and saw a hot beauty standing on the stage, holding a small hammer in her hand and introducing the products to everyone.
"The first lot for auction today is the Midnight Orchid. The Midnight Orchid is one of the few plants with supernatural powers that survived the space catastrophe. It has the function of regulating the Qi and relieving injuries. Although the effect cannot be compared with the energy channeling of the Wood Psychic, it is better in that it can be carried around and does not require the assistance of the Wood Psychic. It is a life-saving medicine for the Psychic to prolong the Qi and relieve pain." After the auctioneer finished the introduction, his eyes swept over the whole process, and he announced with a smile, "The bidding will start now, starting at 500,000 points, and each bid increase must be at least 10,000 points."
"Five hundred thousand."
"Five hundred and ten thousand."
…
"Six hundred thousand."
After several rounds of bidding, Ziyelan was finally sold for 600,000 yuan.
"Is this Midnight Orchid so expensive?" Lin Xi has learned a lot of information about supernatural materials in the past two days, but after all, she has only been exposed to it for a short time and still has many blind spots in knowledge.
"Midnight orchid is a specialty of the A-level sub-space Kongye City. You can only get one Midnight orchid every time the sub-space is opened, and you can't get it every time, so there are not many in the world. In addition, it has therapeutic effects, so the price will naturally be more expensive." Chen Chu knew that Lin Xi's knowledge in this area was relatively lacking, so he explained carefully.
"The auctioneer just said that the therapeutic effect of this Midnight Orchid is not as good as the energy channeling of the wood-type mutant. So how much is the opportunity for energy channeling worth?" Lin Xian asked curiously.
"You want to sell the opportunity of energy channeling?" Chen Chu knew that Lin Xi had an opportunity of energy channeling. The wood-type energy crystal that Lin Xi handed over was taken out of Zhenzi's long hair by him.
“I just want to know how many points I have.”
Chen Chu then said, "Energy channeling opportunities are rare. In official organizations, in order to get an energy channeling opportunity, you must not only pay a million points as a reward, but also accumulate a certain amount of merit. Only when you have enough merit will the official organization assign a wood-type esper to conduct energy channeling for you. There was once an esper who asked for a transfer in the forum, and the offer at that time seemed to be 2 million points."
"Am I... am I that rich?" Oh my god, it's doubled, not just one hundred yuan, but one million yuan. If she sold it outside, she would be a multi-millionaire, and tens of millions.
"But I suggest you not to sell it. This is a chance to save your life." Chen Chu suggested sincerely, "Whether you are injured in battle or the energy riots when your superpowers are advanced, you need a wood superpower to channel the energy."
Although wood energy crystals are hard to come by, it is even harder to find a trustworthy wood psychic. During the energy channeling process, the psychic being channeled must expose his meridians to the wood psychic without any defense. If the wood psychic wants to kill or cripple a psychic at this time, it will be very easy. Therefore, even if a psychic has obtained a wood energy crystal, he will not dare to easily find a wood psychic for energy channeling. In this comparison, a wood psychic with official endorsement is much more trustworthy.
"I know, I'll just ask." Lin Yan is not stupid. The opportunity to channel energy is so rare, she will not sell it casually. If she wants to sell it, she must find a suitable opportunity and offer a price that she cannot refuse.
After the first lot was sold, the second, the third, and so on followed, until the sixth lot, when the lot that the six groups of members needed was finally sold.
“The sixth lot is the Cursed Eye.”
When Lin Xi heard the words "Eye of Curse", she immediately sat up straight and stared at the big screen with wide eyes. On the big screen appeared a dark brown stone, round in shape, the size of a pigeon egg, with some special runes engraved all over it.
"The Eye of Curse is a tool for great cursers. Wearing the Eye of Curse allows one to see all curses below S-rank and avoid them in advance. If a curser wears it, it can deepen their understanding of curses. Due to its special properties, the Eye of Curse is also a tool for ascending to the Soul Locking Tower in the S-dimensional space. Wearing the Eye of Curse, even a D-rank psychic can easily enter and exit the first six floors of the Soul Locking Tower. The auction is now open, with a starting price of 800,000 points."
"810,000."
"850,000."
"900,000."
"..." As soon as Lin Xian took the sign, the points of the Cursed Eye suddenly increased by 100,000. "It increased so quickly. I don't know if the points given by the Dirty King are enough to buy it."
"How many points did the King of Dirty give?" Chen Chu asked.
"1.3 million. He said that if it exceeds that, he will..." Lin Xi suddenly stopped, glanced at Chen Chu and said nothing.
Chen Chu raised his eyebrows, and felt that it might have something to do with him, so he couldn't help but ask, "What?"
"Just...just don't do it." Lin Xi avoided his gaze guiltily.
Chen Chu was a little skeptical, because this was not the style of the guys in the group. But seeing that Lin Nan was unwilling to say more, he did not continue to ask questions and turned around to continue paying attention to the Cursed Eye on the stage.
Seeing this, Lin An breathed a sigh of relief and almost let the cat out of the bag. When she woke up in the morning, Wu Wang privately chatted with her and asked her to get the Eye of the Curse. Lin An casually asked if she would still buy it if the auction price exceeded 1.3 million. Wu Wang's answer was that if she still couldn't buy it at 1.3 million, then Chen Chu was not good enough.
Lin Xian still doesn't understand why Chen Chu is in trouble if he can't buy the Cursed Eye with 1.3 million?
"One million."
At this time, someone had already raised the price to 1 million.
"Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" The beautiful auctioneer glanced at everyone in the room and began to count down, "One million at a time, one million..."
"One million and one hundred thousand!" Lin Ying quickly raised the sign.
"One million and a half." The psychic who had just bid one million glanced at Lin Yan and added another forty thousand.
"1.06 million." Lin Yan was not willing to be outdone. She raised the price by another ten thousand in the tone of someone raising the price by one hundred thousand.
Seeing that it was Lin Nan again, the man also added 10,000 with the same momentum: "1.07 million."
This time, he didn't raise the stakes to 1.1 million in one go. He must be running out of points. Lin felt relieved and continued to raise her card: "1.08 million."
She was a little thirsty from shouting, and even grabbed a piece of watermelon to eat in between shouting.
The man opposite was furious when he saw that Lin Yan still had time to eat watermelon: "If you have the guts, add 100,000 in one go. Why are you shouting 10,000 at a time?"
Lin Yan was eating watermelon and couldn't speak. She swallowed it quickly. Just as she was about to answer, she heard a soft female voice suddenly rang out: "1.2 million."
The man who was talking to Lin Yan's face changed. Someone really added 100,000? The man lowered the sign calmly. It seemed that 1.2 million was their limit.
"Before I came here, my father specifically told me that I must bid for the Cursed Eye. Please give the White Tiger Group some face." Tang Lanyue stood in the middle of the scene and spoke to the crowd in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. Because she knew that those who bid in the front were not strong enough, and those who were really capable of buying the Cursed Eye would usually bid at the end.
White Tiger Group? Lin Yan took out her cell phone and quickly searched for information about the White Tiger Group in the internal forum.
[White Tiger Team: One of the four ace teams of the Imperial Capital's Supernatural Department. Team leader Tang Tianyuan is an S-level earth-type supernaturalist.]
"1.25 million." People were still discussing in low voices, and a powerful voice echoed in the room right after Tang Lanyue's words.
Who is this? He doesn't even give face to the White Tiger Group.
Tang Lanyue's face changed slightly. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a square-faced man in a black uniform sitting lazily in the back row, holding up a sign in his hand.
The middle-aged man saw Tang Lanyue looking at him, and chuckled and said, "Miss Tang, I'm sorry, but our Xuanwu Group also wants the Eye of Curse."
Xuanwu Group? This time, Lin Yan could guess it without checking. Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Xuanwu and Vermillion Bird. The names were so easy to associate with each other. It was definitely another trump card among the four trump cards of the imperial capital.
"Team Leader Yuan, I want the Eye of the Curse in order to enter the Soul Locking Tower to find a prop to lift the curse. The Soul Locking Tower is about to open, and we urgently need this Eye of the Curse. I wonder if Team Leader Yuan can give it to us once. After that, my White Tiger Team will do our best to help you find another Eye of the Curse. I hope Team Leader Yuan will help you." Tang Lanyue recognized the square-faced man. He was Yuan Kuan, the deputy leader of the Black Tortoise Team.
"I'm afraid not. We also have to enter the Soul Locking Tower." Yuan Kuan said.
The two were of equal status, had equal power behind them, and both wanted the Eye of Curse. The scene suddenly became quiet, leaving only the two men staring at each other. On the stage, the beautiful auctioneer also paused her work and did not dare to urge them.
Everyone else was watching the show quietly, but Lin Xi had a mission to accomplish. She had promised the King of Wu that she would help him shoot the Eye of Curse, but now she felt that she would not be able to do so. She even didn't dare to raise the card.
Lin turned to look at Chen Chu, but saw Chen Chu with his head down, scrolling through his phone, not knowing what he was looking at.
Lin Xi thought about it, silently reached out and gently poked Chen Chu's arm.
Chen Chu raised his eyes and looked at Lin Nan in confusion. Lin Nan lowered her head to type and handed the phone to Chen Chu.
[I promised the King of Filth that I would bid for the Cursed Eye, but now, can I not bid for it?]
Chen Chu didn't know why Lin Yan wanted to type, but he still responded by typing on his phone: "Shout if you want."
After reading it, Lin Yan felt relieved and raised her card decisively: "1.3 million."
With her shout, the quiet atmosphere in the field was abruptly broken, and everyone's eyes were all focused on Lin Xi.
Who is this brave man who dares to speak at this time?
Lin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, but she still withstood the pressure and shouted to the stage again: "1.3 million."
She raised the price to 1.3 million in one breath, reaching the limit of the King of Dirty and the dividing point to prove whether "Chen Chu is capable".
King of Dirty, I have done my best to be kind to you. If anyone raises the price again, I will not care.
The beautiful auctioneer finally came back to her senses and repeated Lin's offer loudly on the stage: "Number 12, bid 1.3 million, is there anyone bidding higher?"
Tang Lanyue had met Lin Yan before, and when she saw that it was she who made the offer, she subconsciously looked at a figure beside Lin Yan, hesitating and not saying anything. Yuan Kuan, however, looked Lin Yan up and down, frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Lin Nan." Lin Nan introduced herself.
Yuan Kuan searched his memory, and not only him, but also those who heard Lin Xi's name for the first time were searching their memories for memories about Lin Xi, but they found nothing. This was even more strange, because anyone who could enter the auction had a certain status in the supernatural world, but none of them had ever heard of Lin Xi.
"Which department are you from? Do you have to enter the Soul Locking Building too?" Yuan Kuan asked.
"I'm from Group 6 of Jincheng. My colleague wants the Cursed Eye. I don't know whether he can enter the Soul Locking Building." Lin Yan didn't hide it. This was an official auction. Even if she didn't reveal her identity now, it would be easy to find out later. Instead of that, she might as well say it out loud.
Jincheng Group Six, a third-level supernatural organization?
"We want the Eye of Curse." As he spoke, Yuan Kuan's aura changed, and a surge of energy surged out and expanded in the direction of Lin Xi.
This is shocking. In this world of supernatural powers where the strong prey on the weak, I am using my absolute strength to tell you that you are not qualified to compete with me.
Just when Yuan Kuan's supernatural power was about to pass Chen Chu and hit Lin Yin, Chen Chu suddenly raised his hand and swung his palm backwards casually. An even more powerful energy directly destroyed Yuan Kuan's energy and blasted it back.
After the momentum wore off, there was a loud "bang" and the chair behind Yuan Kuan was smashed to pieces by this energy.
S-rank?!
Yuan Kuan looked at Chen Chu with a horrified expression.
Chen Chu took the sign from the stunned Lin Yan and turned to look at Yuan Kuan: "1.3 million, do you want to raise the price?"
Yuan Kuan's face turned pale and blue. He was about to shock others with his power, but he was shocked by others instead. Although the Xuanwu Group also had S-level esper, they were not present at the scene. He could not snatch them even if he wanted to. Yuan Kuan could not stand up, but when he wanted to sit down, the chair under him was shattered. In the end, he simply threw his sleeves and left the auction house.
Tang Lanyue had already sat down the moment Chen Chu made his move, making her attitude clear with her actions.
Chen Chu retracted his gaze and turned to the auctioneer on the stage. The auctioneer immediately understood: "1.3 million once, 1.3 million twice, 1.3 million three times, sold."
Chen Chu then returned the sign to Lin Yan, who took it in a daze. Only then did she understand the meaning of the words in the King of Dirty's WeChat message.
It's more than OK, it's simply too OK!
