[Eighty million, ninety million...one hundred million!]
[The host has already spent 100 million on less than one-fifth of the exhibits in this auction!]
"System, it's been three days since the third task started, right? How much of my 10 billion mini-task has been completed so far?"
[So far, the host has purchased three office buildings, two apartment buildings, three large single-level apartments, three small villas, an entire garden, a whole row of shops on a commercial street, and several residential properties in Shanghai... Including the jewelry worth one yuan that was just ordered today, the host has now spent six billion yuan!]
Lin Jicheng nodded in satisfaction and continued his dominant performance at the auction.
A meticulously crafted diamond bracelet is set with dozens of diamonds that gradient from light pink to pinkish-purple and then to deep purple, and all of them are natural gemstones, making it even more precious!
Lin Jicheng didn't even bother to look at the price; he accepted it with a smile!
With quick eyes and hands, Lin Jicheng snapped up several large Australian white pearls that shone like light bulbs. Then she set her sights on other pearls that were even more distinctive, such as South Sea golden pearls, Tahitian black pearls, and baroque pink pearls. Some were strung into long necklaces, while others were set with other diamonds into huge brooches and earrings. Lin Jicheng, of course, accepted them all with a smile!
Next, diamonds of various colors flowed into the "dome" like water.
An emerald necklace that looks bigger than a bottle of Tiger Balm, a gracefully swaying "Dancer" brooch, a fierce yet quietly lurking "Cheetah" ring on the hand...
As "Dome" bought more and more items, even the most oblivious viewers, whether at the auction or in the live stream, could sense that something was amiss...
These wealthy individuals at the auction, if they and "Dome" set their sights on the same item, no matter how high their bids, would be intercepted by that powerful hand and sold at an astonishingly high price; while the viewers in the live stream, even if they had been misled by Huang Tianci beforehand, could sense the changing situation from Huang Tianci's increasingly grim expression and the increasingly eerie atmosphere of the auction...
As for Huang Tianci, his already unpleasant expression became even more contorted. Among the remaining exhibits, he did indeed take a liking to several, but as soon as he saw the "Dome" exhibit, he reluctantly withdrew his hand.
"What do you mean I've been sitting here for so long and haven't gotten the things I wanted? It's because the things I want are all very expensive, and they're always the last thing to appear!"
Huang Tianci, in a bad mood, vented his emotions to the viewers in the live stream:
"I'm just helping to liven things up because of the auction house owner! You all don't know the owner of JSD, the top auction house in the country, do you?! He's the famous collector Mr. Yi. Please pay attention, everyone, and I'll have Mr. Yi come over and say hello to you later!"
Then, Mo Xiaowei took the phone again and kept everyone in suspense during the live stream, exaggerating the incredible value of the item Huang Tianci was about to buy:
"Everything else is beneath Brother Tian's notice. Only the grand finale, the best item, is worthy of him!"
Treasures flowed like water as they were sold to various buyers. Soon, the auction was drawing to a close. Suddenly, the lights in the brightly lit auction hall dimmed, and a single spotlight shone on the host, Yi Songchun.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have witnessed a series of extraordinary treasures tonight. Please allow me to introduce the final segment of this auction—A Journey Through Time!"
"Here, we will be showcasing three of the highest quality and most valuable watches collected over the past few decades at this auction! And they will be auctioned off separately!"
"As everyone knows, the chairman of this auction, Mr. Yi, is a passionate watch collector, and this time, he has coordinated resources from various parties, bringing together the world's most top-tier resources from the past few decades—"
"Did you hear that?! What do you mean by 'the grand finale'?!"
Upon hearing the word "watch," Huang Tianci finally regained his composure:
"This is exactly what I want to buy! Those other jewelry necklaces over there are so girly and don't suit me at all!"
"That's right!"
The "high EQ" younger brother, Mo Xiaowei, also stepped in front of the camera in the live stream to try and save face:
"That 'dome' in front, even if it really exists, is just a nouveau riche who doesn't know what's valuable... He spent so much money upfront, he probably has no idea that there are even more high-value watches at the end of the auction!"
"That's right!"
Huang Tianci seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, becoming energetic again. He smoothed his heavily gelled hair and struck poses for the live stream camera. In his heart, he felt mostly fortunate.
That "dome" must not be an auctioneer with the same depth and experience as myself, who bought so many things before even reaching the grand finale, and must have already used up all my funds!
In that case, "Dome" shouldn't have the money to compete with itself for the grand finale product and everyone's attention... right?
As Huang Tianci eagerly awaited, the first product of the final stage was quickly brought up—
"An extremely rare Rolex Paul Newman Daytona, one of the rarest Rolexes in the world!"
"Starting bid: 50 million!"
"Wow--!"
The appearance of this watch once again brought the atmosphere of the entire venue to a climax, with everyone exclaiming in amazement at the watch's incredibly high starting bid!
"It's finally my turn!"
Huang Tianci could not contain his excitement at all:
"Fifty-five million!"
Sixty million!
Outside several private boxes, a blond, blue-eyed foreign tycoon was also directing his personal auctioneer to continuously raise the prices:
"Seventy million!"
"Seventy-five million!"
"Eighty million!"
Huang Tianci roared again, raising the price, and was pleased to see the pained look on the other party's face.
"Hahaha, little Karami doesn't even dare to compare his wealth with that of Young Master Huang from Beijing! I think he doesn't know his place at all!"
Huang Tianci roared wildly in the auction house without any restraint, venting and showing off unrestrainedly! The dissatisfaction that had been suppressed by the mysterious "dome" was now completely released!
"This is the style of a true tycoon! This is the true status of Young Master Huang of Beijing!"
"Eighty million once, eighty million a second time—"
Just as Yi Songchun raised the hammer high, about to bring it down—
"One hundred million!"
The resolute voice came from the "Dome"!
