Chapter 520 Disguise
He was furious, but there was no use in being angry; Lu Xingchen and Chu Hongyi had formed an alliance.
Both of them are very powerful, and now it's two against one; he can't afford to mess with them.
He couldn't afford to mess with the old NPC who sold the cards.
The old man coughed and said, "Alright, let's continue bidding. 5000 gold coins for the first time..."
Lu Xingchen: "Ten thousand gold coins!"
Xuanyuan Batian suddenly looked over, his face turning cold: "You want...you..."
He glanced at the old man, then at Lu Xingchen, and could almost guess what they had just said.
Are they in partnership?
Xuanyuan Batian hesitated before saying, "Twenty thousand gold coins!"
Buying a top-tier disguise card for 20,000 gold coins is definitely a steal. Even if Lu Xingchen has some kind of scheme, as long as he doesn't suffer a loss, that's fine.
Lu Xingchen quickly replied: "Thirty thousand gold coins!"
Xuanyuan Batian tentatively asked, "Forty thousand gold coins?"
Lu Xingchen quickly replied, "Fifty thousand gold coins!"
Xuanyuan Batian frowned, looked at Lu Xingchen, and remained silent with a gloomy expression.
The old man was ecstatic: "Good, good, good, that's it! Come on, keep going, keep going, go all out, hahaha!"
Xuanyuan Batian remained silent for a long time.
Lu Xingchen just waited.
The old man got impatient first: "Young man, are you going to make an offer? I think you're the best candidate, come on, come on."
Xuanyuan Batian remained silent.
Lu Xingchen: "Fifty thousand gold coins for the first time."
The old man glared at Lu Xingchen with displeasure: "What's your hurry? Alright, it's 50,000 gold coins for the first time."
After waiting another minute, Xuanyuan Batian still didn't make a bid. He looked at Lu Xingchen, then at Chu Hongyi, and then at the old man, his expression changing repeatedly.
Lu Xingchen checked the time: "Hey, it's almost 1:30. Old man, hurry up, 50,000 gold coins for the second time."
Xuanyuan Batian checked the time and glared fiercely at Lu Xingchen.
In his eyes, this top-tier disguise card was worth more than 60,000 gold coins; he simply didn't want to be taken advantage of.
He was very unhappy with Lu Xingchen's fearless look.
Xuan Yuan Ling Yun's private message came through: "Brother, haven't you encountered the card merchant yet? My prediction failed?"
Xuanyuan Batian replied: "No, I've run into some trouble. Lu Xingchen is causing trouble again, so it might cost a bit more money."
Xuanyuan Lingyun: "Brother, we've already wasted an opportunity for cross-regional exchange. The clan said that no matter how many gold coins it costs, we must obtain the market construction order."
Xuanyuan Batian sighed inwardly, thinking that Lu Xingchen had once again gotten away with something for nothing.
He guessed that Lu Xingchen was helping the old man raise the price, getting him to pay more gold coins so they could split the profits.
Otherwise, they might have already discussed it with Chu Hongyi and are plotting something bad.
However, no matter what they are doing, he must obtain this top-tier disguise card.
Xuanyuan Batianxia made up his mind and continued bidding: "Sixty thousand gold coins."
Lu Xingchen: "Seventy thousand gold coins!"
Xuanyuan Batian: "Eighty thousand gold coins!"
The two bid quickly this time, but after reaching 100,000 gold coins, Xuanyuan Batian slowed down his bidding.
He was also playing psychological warfare with Lu Xingchen, making Lu Xingchen believe that he could give up at any time.
Xuanyuan Batian: "One hundred and four hundred thousand!"
He gave Lu Xingchen a dark look: "That's enough, Lu Xingchen. Are you really planning to spend so many gold coins to buy a card?"
He said pointedly, "Aren't you afraid you won't have money to do other things later?"
He was puzzled. Lu Xingchen's financial resources were definitely no match for his. Even if she desperately tried to obtain the top-tier disguise card, what then? Could he possibly win the bid for the market construction order?
Lu Xingchen glanced at Chu Hongyi.
Chu Hongyi gave her a reassuring look and said with a smile, "If you win the bid, I'll cover the cost."
That would be great.
Lu Xingchen: "150,000!"
