Chapter 48 Auction 4, Gong Yun’s Small Treasury
"Where do I get any secret stash of funds?" Gong Yun glared.
"No matter what, I have to bring a bottle back today. It's up to you." The queen snorted.
Lan Jianghong's mental strength is declining with age. She is afraid that one day even the Pharmacist Guild will not be able to produce special-grade potions. What will happen to Yu Ting then?
The auctioneer whetted people's appetite before starting the first round of bidding.
The starting price is 5 million, and each increase in price must not be less than 100,000.
The bidding this time was obviously more frequent than for any previous item, and everyone in the venue was extremely excited.
"Five million one hundred thousand."
"5.2 million."
"Five and a half million."
"Six million."
…
"Ten million."
The price quickly reached 10 million, and people in the lobby on the first floor basically stopped bidding.
Even when the price reached over 15 million, there were still a dozen people bidding.
Everyone in the hall held their breath, watching the masters fight quietly, waiting for the final result.
Even though they are no longer useful, they are unwilling to leave.
3025: "12 million."
2134: "13 million."
4005: "15 million."
When the price reached 1,500, there was a brief silence as all parties weighed the pros and cons.
Then 3095 quoted 16 million.
Almost instantly, 4005 caught up: "17 million."
There was another silence, until 4009, who had never made an offer before, suddenly spoke up: "18 million."
In room 4002, Qu Tong watched everyone fighting with great interest. The more they fought, the happier she was.
When bidding for room 4009, Qu Tong keenly noticed that Yu Yao's face was surprised for a moment.
Qu Tong looked over curiously: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Yu Yao shook her head and quickly restrained her expression.
I was secretly angry in my heart, it turns out that no matter who you are, if you want the medicine, you have to follow the rules.
Qu Tong didn't ask any more questions, but just listened carefully to the bidding outside, calculating how much money he would have left after deducting the 5% commission and paying taxes, and what else he wanted to buy.
In room 3095, Lan Weiying looked at Lan Jianghong inquiringly, waiting for him to make a decision.
18 million is the highest price they can accept.
Lan Jianghong's eyebrows were filled with annoyance. He took a deep breath and said, "Next bottle."
"Okay." Lan Weiying responded and stopped bidding.
After a while, 4005 followed up with another bid: "19 million."
Two men were standing in front and behind the one-way glass of 4009. The man in front was wearing a long black coat with dark black and gold patterns on it. The edges were made of dark blue satin spliced with intricate craftsmanship. There were two obsidian rivets on the collar, connected by two interlaced chains. Under his brown hair on his forehead was a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which perfectly displayed his elegance and nobility.
Behind him, standing with his hands clasped, was none other than Shen Jie, the head of the E12 Star Black Market.
"Who is in room 4005?" the man asked in a clear voice.
"She is the Queen of the Canaan Empire and the commander of the Second Legion." Shen Jie replied.
The man supported his chin with one hand, as if thinking about something.
The auctioneer below had already started calling out the numbers, and Shen Jie asked, "Sir, are we still bidding?"
"No."
As the auctioneer repeated it three times, the first bottle of potion was auctioned to Room 4005 for 19 million.
Next is the second bottle.
It is still a bloody storm.
I thought that after Room 4005 bought a bottle, they would stop bidding, as they no longer had a wealthy competitor. But they seemed to have endless money and kept raising the price.
Lan Jianghong almost broke his teeth.
Seeing the price soar to 20 million again, Gong Lingyu turned around and asked Gong Yun: "Father, do you still have any money in your small treasury?"
Gong Yun glared at Gong Lingyu unhappily: "That's enough, you want to spend all my savings on the coffin, right?"
Gong Lingyu withdrew her hand and said, "This is a special-grade medicine, of course the more the better."
In the end, this bottle of potion was won by 4009 for 21 million star coins.
For the last bottle, Gong Lingyu repeated the previous operation.
Those who had failed to win the bid before were so angry that they were vomiting blood, and secretly cursed this troublemaker for coming from nowhere and having no moral principles.
The third bottle was still sold at a high price of 2,200 yuan, and the winner was a dark horse who had not bid before on the second floor.
Qu Tong was very happy. She had to thank the people in Room 4005, who helped her earn several million more.
He called a staff member and asked him to deliver a box of strawberries.
Facing Yu Yao's inquiring gaze, Qu Tong was in a good mood and handed her a box of cherry tomatoes.
"Try it. I grabbed it from an anchor store. It tastes pretty good."
"Thank you." Although Yu Yao didn't pay attention to this matter, she thanked him politely.
After taking a bite, he expressed his gratitude sincerely and asked Qu Tong for the host's live broadcast account number.
Qu Tong pushed out his live broadcast account without blushing or beating his heart, and successfully gained a wealthy fan.
Over there, Gong Lingyu took the strawberries from the door and asked in confusion: "The owner of the potion is thanking me? Thanking me for what?"
"Thank you for wanting to take care of it all." Gong Yun said frankly.
Gong Lingyu reacted and laughed: "If I could mobilize so much money, I would definitely take it all."
Gong Lingyu ate a strawberry and exclaimed.
"The energy fruit from Tongtong's house! It turns out that the master also likes to eat this."
Then he pushed the box onto the table and said, "You haven't eaten the energy fruit grown by your granddaughter-in-law yet. The taste is comparable to that of the one grown by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."
There was a hint of pride in his tone, proud that he had chosen a good daughter-in-law.
Gong Yun ate the food very considerately and gave a good review.
*
When the auction was about to end, Yu Yao left early.
So Qu Tong didn't have to wait long before Yu Yao came back, escorted by two bodyguards.
Qu Tong took the gold card that Yu Yao brought back, swiped it lightly on his computer, and tens of millions of assets were instantly transferred to his account.
Qu Tong knew that many people would be trying to find out her identity, so she did not choose the internal VIP channel recommended by Yu Yao, but let her take her through a more secluded back door of the black market.
Yu Yao understood very well, and before leaving, she said sincerely: "I look forward to working with Miss Jun next time."
Qu Tong smiled and neither refused nor agreed.
Separated by a wall, on one side is a broad and luxuriously decorated avenue, and on the other side is a dark and abandoned alley that was half-built.
Fortunately, with the help of the lights from next door, I could barely see the road clearly.
After walking for a long distance, Qu Tong suddenly stopped, his eyes turned slightly cold, and his mental power spread out silently.
Locking on the target, Qu Tong looked towards the corner of the wall not far away, and saw a corner of golden hair left on the ground.
The fluctuation of mental power was very weak, almost unnoticeable. If her breathing had not been disordered just now, she might have ignored it.
The other party didn't move, and Qu Tong didn't move either.
Qu Tong didn't move forward until he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps behind him.
There were more than a dozen people in a team, some of them were wearing black market uniforms, and the last three were wearing normal clothes.
The person in the lead was one of the people who escorted Yu Yao to give her the card.
He stopped the others as they were about to move, and stepped forward to ask Qu Tong respectfully, "Miss Jun, excuse me, did you see anyone else on this road?"
