Starting bid: 30 million!
Su Tao took a breath of cold air.
For her, it was a half-sky-high price. The starting price of such a precious vacant land in Taoyang was only 50 million.
This may not even sell.
Su Tao sighed softly.
If she guessed correctly, this "Energy Borrowing Bracelet" was the work of Grandma Yu.
Borrowing power, borrowing other people's special abilities.
Even if one can only use the crystal cores of the five elemental mutants, for ordinary people, their strength will undergo a qualitative leap.
In the end times, there is no shortage of rich and powerful people, and there are also many "ordinary people" without special powers.
For example, as far as she knew, the eldest son of the Xiao family next door was one of them.
As soon as she thought of this, Xiao Wenting next door pressed the bidding button without hesitation.
The auctioneer saw the numbers on the bidding screen in the box and shouted:
"40 million federal coins once!"
There was an uproar in the audience.
Who is this rich man who comes up and adds another 10 million? How can they compete?
But there are still many rich people off the field who have joined the bidding for Shura Field.
"42 million federal coins once!"
"48 million federal coins once!"
The price was raised all the way to 68 million. Bai Jiayan's heart trembled when she heard it. She turned her head to look at Young Master Xiao and found that he had changed from his usual cynicism. His face was as gloomy as water, his eyes were fixed on the auction hammer, and he kept adding more prices with his hand.
When the price reached 70 million, he directly threw out a price of 82 million, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
The auctioneer's voice was almost hoarse:
"82 million federal coins once!"
"82 million federal coins twice!"
"Anything else?!"
"make a deal!"
“Wow—”
Xiao Wenting relaxed his body, lay back on the sofa, and a smile appeared on his face.
Being able to buy superpowers with money, even if they are not permanent, is very worthwhile for him.
Bai Jiayan was shocked and excited, and her understanding of the Xiao family's financial resources reached a new level.
I thought it was extravagant enough for Xiao Wenting to spend 20,000 federal coins to buy her a basket of strawberries.
But compared with the 80 million he just spent, it was just a drop in the bucket.
If she could marry into the Xiao family, not only would she get strawberries worth 30,000 federal coins, she might even get a bracelet worth 80 million.
Bai Jiayan showed a flattering smile and came closer:
"Wenting, when I saw this bracelet, I knew it belonged to you. Now that you've set the price, who would dare to compete with you? Wenting, you've already bought the item you wanted. If I find something I like later, you can't be stingy."
Xiao Wenting said, "It's almost the end of the story. I guess there won't be any good stuff left. I'll just give you 10 million. You can go shopping in Xindu tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Buy whatever you want."
Why ten million?
Because he only has one hundred million in liquid funds, after buying the Jieneng bracelet, he will only have more than ten million left!
The second generation of wealthy families also have financial restrictions.
In the Xiao family, his father has the final say over money, but he gives his children a lot of pocket money every month.
Whenever Xiao Wenting thought of this, he wanted to kick his father and be the master of his own house.
Bai Jiayan had no idea that he had so many twists and turns in his mind. When she heard that she could get 10 million for free, she immediately agreed happily and called him a good husband.
The auction continues.
Xiao Wenting no longer had any interest.
Of course, the main reason is that he has no money. It seems that he can only buy his dad’s wedding gift next month with some money.
At this moment, the lights on the stage were bright, the rhythm flashed rapidly, and the auctioneer announced passionately:
"The next lot to be auctioned is our grand prize, and also the last one! Please look at the big screen—a 300-square-meter vacant lot in Taoyang!"
There was silence in the audience for a moment, and then discussions broke out one after another.
Only a small number of people who had heard of Taoyang were quite excited.
But most of them were still asking each other what kind of place Taoyang was and how a piece of vacant land could become the finale treasure of the Xindu auction, seemingly more valued than the energy-borrowing bracelet of Yu the Broken Finger.
The auctioneer was very professional, and his words, exaggerated gestures, and determined expression were very convincing:
"I know that many of you here don't know much about Taoyang, but everything I'm about to say is true, without any lies or exaggeration!"
"There's a protective shield above this land. Yes, it's the gas shield that Chang Jing has been researching for over a decade without success. It can not only block any enemy, but also maintain a suitable temperature inside."
As he spoke, he showed several photos and videos of life inside Taoyang:
In an environment with a continuous high temperature of 40 degrees, Taoyang people seem to be not afraid of the heat at all. They move freely outside without any sweat.
Some younger children even wear a thin coat at their parents' request to prevent catching a cold.
The next video is about attacking the transparent protective shield. The bullet was shot into the air, but it seemed like it encountered steel armor and was bounced far away.
After playing three or four videos in a row, the auctioneer also showed Taoyang's official website, where one could see the house information at first glance, and the top title background was a very exquisitely decorated living and dining room.
Bai Jiayan burst out laughing when she saw this:
"Renting a house? Is Xindu using the auction's finale treasure as a gimmick to advertise this place called Taoyang?"
She didn't believe a word the auctioneer said.
How could a small, newly emerged corner of the world develop a protective shield that even Kyoto couldn't? It's a lie. As we all know, videos can be faked.
There are also videos showing old men and women sitting under a big tree playing chess to enjoy the cool air, children playing and fighting by the pool, young girls buying food and daily necessities from vending machines, and the mother who returns home taking fresh vegetables from the refrigerator and cooking in the clean and bright kitchen. This must be video footage stolen from the peaceful life before the end of the world!
Xiao Wenting didn't believe it either, but he always felt that something was weird and wrong.
Xindu Auction House is not so easy to buy off.
If the video and information are fake, then how much benefit did this place called Taoyang give to Xindu to make Xindu risk ruining his reputation and act as a guarantor to bid for it?
That's strange.
He stared at the screen with a frown, trying to find any flaws in the video, but found nothing.
After the auctioneer finished his presentation, he suddenly showed a group of photos of the villa:
"The client also promised to help the bidder build their ideal home here free of charge. As long as it's within five floors, any requirements can be met. Even if it's within 300 square meters, we can build an outdoor swimming pool, underground garage, fountains, and indoor and outdoor terrace gardens."
"Alright, everyone, please start bidding. The starting price is 50 million federal coins for 40 fixed crystal cores. Start!"
