Ice City
Genting Tower
Luxury private room
As the auction was about to begin, Lu Zhufeng woke up the sleeping Xiao Wujie, brought him a cup of hot water that had been tested for poison, and watched as Xiao Wujie took the medicine.
This guy was delicate and weak, and had to take medicine on time every day, so this good job naturally fell to him.
To think that he, a once-renowned soldier, has now become like an old woman who spends her days serving tea and water and showing concern for others' well-being!
Oh shit!
I misspoke!
He looks like a handsome guy!
He then stayed close behind Xiao Wujie, relying on his keen intuition as a former king of soldiers, he had a feeling that this auction might not go smoothly.
In the event of an emergency, he must react immediately to protect Xiao Wujie.
Xiao Wujie, on the other hand, looked completely at ease, leaning elegantly and gracefully against the soft and comfortable sofa, wrapped in a blanket, with a hand warmer in his hand, looking quite content!
The auction outside the private room had already begun. The auctioneer in charge of the introduction was a beautiful woman with a delicate face and a tall figure, dressed in a cheongsam. Under her gentle introduction, one item after another was brought to the stage for display and auction.
Xiao Wujie watched with great interest. Apart from the final item, the forgetting reagent, he hadn't really looked into the other auction items beforehand.
It's not that he couldn't know with his abilities; after all, life is more interesting when there are unknowns.
The more you reveal, the more motivating it is.
Once you've seen everything, what's left to do?
"A bronze artifact dating back more than 3,000 years... starting bid at five million!"
"A painting by the master painter Bi Mousuo...starting bid at eight million!"
"Shares in Harbin's top ten companies, up to 10%, starting at 10 million per share!"
Upon hearing this, a gasp of surprise erupted from the audience, followed by a frenzy of grabbing.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wujie, who was inside the private room, couldn't help but secretly rub his forehead.
How the hell was this written? You can't pad the word count like this!
After the initial frenzy subsided, the atmosphere returned to calm, and the auction proceeded smoothly.
Although there was no more frantic bidding, there was no item left unsold.
Xiao Wujie also took a picture of one; it was a beautiful DK uniform.
The uniform features a deep black as its main color, accented with delicate silver trim. The fabric is a premium wool blend, offering both a substantial feel and a smooth, delicate touch.
The row of exquisite silver buttons on the chest is very stylish, serving not only as decoration but also adding to the uniform's layering and three-dimensional effect.
The trousers are also in the same dark black as the jacket, with straight legs and smooth lines.
According to the beautiful auctioneer, the designer was a madman from an island nation. The uniform started at 15 million, and Mr. Xiao immediately bid 30 million, doubling the price.
Others were also interested, but considering the price and the people sitting in the private box, they all gave up the idea of bidding. Thus, the item was sold to Master Xiao on the spot for a high price of thirty million.
Before long, a pretty young maid brought the items to the private room. Xiao Wujie treasured them so much that he even threw away his hand warmer, holding them in his hand and examining them carefully, occasionally uttering words of praise.
Little Baga's products are actually of decent quality!
Lu Zhufeng watched from behind with a blank expression.
What a pretentious, wasteful, and extravagant woman! Her walk-in closet is almost as big as someone else's villa, and she still keeps buying more!
Dressed up like a peacock all day long, who is she trying to seduce?
As time went on, the atmosphere heated up again, seemingly about to reach the climax of the event.
Sure enough, a short while later, under the eager and enthusiastic gazes of everyone, a lady dressed in a cheongsam with a curvaceous figure gracefully walked onto the stage carrying a tray.
A black cloth covered the tray, obscuring the contents, but everyone present knew what it was—the amnesia reagent.
The beautiful auctioneer on stage then introduced this final item.
"The next item to be introduced is the highlight of this auction—the forgetting reagent."
"It comes from that forbidden place in the far north, where research on the forgetting agent began three years ago."
"Their goal is to develop a universal drug that can combat any known disease and stimulate and enhance the human immune system. After three years of research and development, the amnesia reagent has taken initial shape."
"While current amnesia treatments are not yet ideal, they can still combat almost all known diseases and improve the body's immunity at its source."
"In a clinical trial of the amnesia reagent, a critically ill patient with multiple organ failure was given the reagent, which extended his life by nearly a year."
"According to tests, as long as the person is not critically ill, the amnesia reagent can extend the life of the person who receives it to the greatest extent. Healthy people can even have their lifespan extended by five to ten years after receiving the injection."
These words immediately brought the atmosphere to a climax, with many people gasping and their breathing becoming heavier.
After all, none of those present were ordinary people; the higher one stands, the more one understands the impermanence and preciousness of life.
No amount of money or power can buy a moment's stay!
This amnesia reagent is like a get-out-of-jail-free card, stealing several years of peace from the ravages of time and disease.
Who would complain about living too long? And who wouldn't want to pay money for a life-saving charm?
Despite their burning passion, many people present did not completely lose their senses, and instead secretly shifted their gaze to the upper-level private rooms.
After all, the real big shots are sitting inside.
The reason the forgetfulness reagent appeared at the Harbin auction was more because the temperature in Harbin was conducive to its preservation, but this did not affect its appeal to the outside world.
Not only were local bigwigs attracted, but many bigwigs from other places were also drawn to participate in the auction in different ways.
After all, apart from Master Xiao and a few others, the other guests in the private rooms upstairs were all from out of town. Rumor has it that even some of the top families from the capital were involved.
The beautiful auctioneer calmly glanced at the crowd's reactions and continued:
"The forgetting agent in this auction is the only known, officially certified, and publicly available sample of the drug."
"Without further ado, let's begin the auction for the grand finale: the amnesia reagent!"
"Starting price: 50 million!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone called out a price.
"Seventy million!"
"Eighty million!"
"Eighty-five million!"
"One hundred million!"
The atmosphere was very lively, with people constantly raising the price, but no one had made a bid yet in the upstairs private room.
Just then, a cold and indifferent voice came from the private room where Xiao Wujie was, instantly silencing the entire room.
Five hundred million!
