Murong Shuli and Murong Jin sat in a private room, listening to the prices offered by the surrounding private rooms. Murong Shuli gave Murong Jin a look, and Murong Jin nodded and pressed the auction button in the room, "Twenty intermediate ores."
Twenty pieces of intermediate ores?
According to the exchange rate between ore and gold coins, one intermediate ore is equivalent to one million gold coins! So if each of the twenty ores is worth 20 million gold coins!
Are you kidding me?! Which family could possibly afford such a high price?!
When the others heard the offer, they retreated a little. The auction had now reached its climax, and naturally it revolved around a few powerful bidders. The Murong family was one of them, and there were several other families with a little fame in other cities. Seeing the Murong family's offer, they also quoted their own prices.
An Ran listened to their quotes and found that the price had risen to thirty pieces of intermediate-grade ores.
"Thirty-two pieces!" Murong Jin gritted his teeth and raised the sign again. An Ran couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw it. It seemed that the Murong family was still very confident. Could they squeeze more of the more than 30 million gold coins from the Baili family?
Wuuuuuu... An Ran felt a little regretful. She was still inexperienced and didn't know much about the background of the big families in this world!
When the other families saw that someone had quoted a high price of thirty-two pieces of intermediate ores, they couldn't help but grit their teeth and refused to admit defeat. From the initial quotation to now, only three families were still insisting on quoting, and gradually the number became two, and the price also climbed to fifty pieces of intermediate ores!
The auctioneer stood there with a smile on his face. The higher the price, the better. Fifty intermediate-grade ores. The auctioneer's eyes swept over An Ran's position. That big shot hadn't made a move yet. There was still some waiting...
"Fifty-five pieces!" someone yelled at the top of his lungs. Murong Jin and Murong Shuli's faces turned black. Nine hundred and fifty pieces... The man who had been so generous just now did not speak. They originally thought that the Murong family could get it this time, but they did not expect that there would be someone against them!
"The one who's in private room number seven, keep bidding!" The person who was bidding said in a very arrogant tone. Murong Jin's face turned ugly and he raised the sign in his hand, "Seventy pieces!" He looked at the person who had been against the Murong family, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"Tsk! You dare to bid! Nine hundred and seventy coins, this is the price you have to sell everything you have for it! I won't go crazy with you, I give up!" The man who had just provoked me cursed and angrily put away the sign in his hand.
Murong Shuli's expression relaxed. This was the limit for the Murong family. He was right. It was almost a price that would cost them everything they had... The reason why the Murong family wanted to buy this was for Murong Ze, the talented young man of their Murong family!
This young man showed his uniqueness from the moment he was born. During the talent test, he was also a rare level eight thunder magician. The entire Murong family almost tilted all their resources towards him. Unfortunately... things did not go as he wished. During a trial, he was hit by a high-level magical beast, the Thunder Sound Lightning Leopard. From then on, his strength plummeted and he was unable to recover!
When they heard there were fourth-grade elixirs for sale, their family immediately sent someone over. They had to get these elixirs no matter what and completely cure Murong Ze. After all… compared to a genius who could revitalize the Murong family, no amount of gold coins meant anything…
The auction lasted until midnight that night. These pills were bought by the Baili family, the Murong family, the Shangguan family, and two families that An Ran had never met before. An Ran smiled nonchalantly. His goal was only money. He really didn't care who got the pills!
However... what made him curious was that Jun Zichen clearly came to this auction, but he didn't buy anything. He really couldn't understand what he was thinking.
An Ran shook his head. When the president of the auction house handed him the proceeds from the auction, An Ran looked at the gold card in the maid's hand with a smile on his face. He was finally rich. These pills had created 150 million gold coins for him!
The president of the auction house looked at An Ran without a smile. This time, An Ran's elixir could earn their auction house a lot of income and fame!
"Ms. Mu, if you want to auction off your elixirs next time, remember to come to our auction house. I'll waive the handling fee next time!"
"Of course. After all, we have cooperated once and I was very satisfied!" An Ran looked at the president of the auction house with a smile. This president is indeed a businessman. He is very calculating!
After seeing off the auction house president, An Ran patted her clothes, stood up, and walked out of the auction house's VIP room. After the previous auction ended, most of the buyers had left.
When An Ran arrived at the auction hall, she was already alone. When the receptionist saw An Ran coming out, she immediately smiled warmly, "Ms. Mu, you're leaving!"
An Ran almost fell to the ground because of the sweet and coquettish voice. She turned her head and glanced at the lady standing in front of the counter. An Ran felt a chill run through her body. The waiter standing at the door blushed when he saw An Ran, and immediately opened the door for her respectfully.
An Ran's dark eyes glanced at him, and the waiter shrugged his shoulders in shame. An Ran walked out without saying a word. The waiter suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweaty forehead, "Huh... Don't make mistakes next time."
An Ran walked out of the auction house and listened to those people sighing that today's admission was not in vain. No, it should be said that it was worth it. She couldn't help but smile.
The sky outside was approaching dusk, stained with a hazy yellow hue. There seemed to be more people walking on the street. An Ran decided to go to the hotel to find her father who had come to pick her up. She slipped into the crowd. Suddenly, a figure bumped into her, looking hurried. An Ran's black eyes flashed, and she dodged at an extremely subtle angle. But what she didn't expect was that the figure still bumped into her, exactly by chance.
When their bodies collided, An Ran's body did not suffer any damage. After all, she was not an ordinary girl. Although there was no difference in appearance, with soft skin and slender limbs, her body was actually very strong under the effect of ancient martial arts!
P.S. Come on, come on, Liangye Math Class is starting! If the exchange rate for low-level ore and gold coins is one low-level ore equals one thousand gold coins, and one mid-level ore equals one thousand low-level ore, then how many gold coins does one mid-level ore equal?
Haha, the answer is one million gold coins! Did you get it right? (To be continued.)
