Uncle An waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Young man! Don't be so hasty in your actions!"
The people below were furious. They saw that this old geezer was very wicked, not revealing any information and causing them to miss such a momentous event.
"The product information is unclear about its functions, Uncle An. We all respect you, but your actions have really disappointed us!"
It's heartbreaking. The real heartbreak isn't from loud arguments, but from seeing countless eyes watching Uncle An with tears of hatred and gritted teeth.
An Huai is a seasoned veteran of auctions. Lilith had him preside over the auction for two reasons: first, to draw attention away from the auction, and second, to ensure that An Huai remained unmoved even when faced with overwhelming pressure.
The people below threw watermelon rinds, orange peels, and other fruits provided at the auction, but the peels were all eaten and contributed to An Huai.
An Huai still looked at the restless young people below with a cheerful and kind expression. While the servants were cleaning, An Huai was bearing pressure that he shouldn't have to bear at his age.
"Alright, alright, everyone, if we had told you beforehand, would you have believed us?"
"If we had said that, would you all have believed us?"
"People will only believe it after they experience it!"
The audience fell silent. An Huai was right. If the poster had advertised for such an outrageous five hours from the beginning, probably no one would have pooled their money, and they would have thought it was just a gimmick.
If the publicity isn't done well, very few people will come.
It simply wouldn't have achieved the same results as today!
The voices below quieted down.
But her eyes were red.
"Who knew your product this time would be so amazing, such an amazing product being advertised..."
If it's advertised, no one will believe it. If it's for tasting, think about what kind of expensive thing it is. Would the Manchu Han Imperial Feast allow people to taste it?
Royal food was always served only after the servants had tested it for poison and tasted it.
Is that something that just anyone can eat?
The person's excitement subsided.
The Eternal Duke couldn't take it anymore, and the microphone in the private room went dead.
"Uncle An, can we start the next round now?"
He's determined to win the next auction too!
Those chattering off the field are so inconsiderate!
Uncle An raised an eyebrow, shifting the blame eastward.
"How could I possibly accept such a title from the Duke? You flatter me! Let's proceed with the auction for the next item. There's still one more item, let's see who wins it!"
Upon hearing An Huai's words, everyone looked at the Duke.
This Duke must have known, which is why he directly asked for five thousand gold coins and took it so quickly!
Thinking of this, everyone glared fiercely at the Duke's box. The Duke had snatched two Group 5 boxes. Realizing this, everyone quickly returned to their seats. Just moments ago, they were united as one, but now they stared at each other, feeling as if sparks were flying.
If that's all the stuff we have, then we're all enemies!
And the biggest enemy... Everyone looked in unison towards the private room... and then in unison towards the Duke's private room.
With five minutes left before the next item was prepared, servants were clearing the table, and Uncle An had someone bring the item up. Everything was in full swing.
People who knew each other started switching seats and sitting together, whispering among themselves.
"If one person can't beat them all, can't two or three do it?"
"Everyone who just took pictures of the food is laughing, we can't be the only ones crying. I agree to cooperate! We'll split it equally later!"
"Count me in!"
The scene changed so quickly that no one expected it, and the people at the Hans Auction House were breathing heavily.
"We want to bid too! These kinds of things are rare and hard to come by! We can't miss out!"
The Marquis's daughter was filled with regret. She should have started bidding from the first set. With over a thousand gold coins, she could have easily won a set. If she had brought it back, her father would have looked at her with new respect.
What a pity...
The scene quickly became lively, impacting Uncle An. Uncle An placed the items on the auction stage, and before he even started to strike the gavel, people below began to raise their paddles.
Five thousand gold coins!
"What are you doing? You haven't even started raising your placards yet!"
"Of course! You're the only one who's worried, aren't you!"
The Eternal Duke clutched the bidding paddle. Damn it, someone else had quoted his price! But it didn't matter; the Eternal City wasn't short of money! He could still try again!
Uncle An chuckled and started hammering.
"Starting bid: 1,000 gold coins!"
"Six thousand gold coins!" Duke Eternal declared first.
Before the people below could even glare angrily at the Duke of Eternity, they immediately raised their placards.
"Eight thousand gold coins!"
Damn it! If it adds fifty minutes, the price is a bit too high. If it adds five hours, I might as well go for it. They tested it, and even after more than an hour, it still has an amplification effect. I estimate that it won't reach five hours if eaten separately, but three or four hours shouldn't be a problem. The amplification effect is not as great as eating it all at once, even if you eat it separately and then combine it.
But they could accept all of this, they could accept it very well. On the battlefield, things can change in an instant. If the health regeneration could restore +1 health every three or four hours, wouldn't that mean that as long as they had a breath left, they wouldn't die within those three or four hours?
By the way, can the buffs stack?
They turned to look at their companions who had eaten two portions.
One of his companions' hands went into attack mode, and then he mobilized his stamina.
"The increase in power hasn't decreased; my stamina and attack power are still quite good!"
"If the buff is fully stacked, wouldn't that mean consuming one unit would grant attack power, stamina, and health for three to four hours...?"
Their eyes lit up.
"Eating separately seems like a good idea. The extra time will be slightly less than five hours. Let's say three hours. One group can be divided into five portions, and five groups can be divided into twenty-five portions. That's enough to form three execution teams!"
"That's more than three execution teams!"
Special rescue missions and special operations are carried out by high-ranking pure-blooded orcs. High-ranking pure-blooded orcs have beast-like genes, and their original attack power and speed far exceed those of ordinary people. If they are further amplified...
"Three hours should be enough to hunt down the Misty City!"
"It's enough time to not only take a trip to the City of Mist, but also to bring the items out. However, the asking price is already 8,000 gold coins. Would it be worth it if it broke 10,000 gold coins?"
"Think about it, if we go in as three small teams, we can head straight for the central city. Since they are special mission teams, they will definitely take valuable items, like the Core of Crystal. At the very least, the cores inside the brains of the aliens hunted in the center will be worth several thousand gold coins. With three teams, they can break even or even make a huge profit!"
So they'll fight for even if it costs more than 10,000 gold coins!
