Everyone spoke with great enthusiasm at this moment, all condemning the people at the auction. Xu Yuehuai looked at the dagger that was shining brightly, her eyes filled with excitement. This was the purpose of her visit. To explain the specific reason, we have to go back to before Yuan Shui fell into a deep sleep.
Yuan Shui inexplicably talked to her a lot that day, asking her to do this and that. At first, Xu Yuehuai didn't pay attention, but when she actually arrived in Cangwu City and found that what she wanted was on the stage, even the calmest person would become unsettled.
Xu Yuehuai picked up the microphone next to her and spoke into it, "One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones."
The lady on stage had already stated the price from the beginning. There was no low price for this item, and you could bid arbitrarily. Therefore, this dagger could very well be bought for a high-grade spirit stone, or even a low-grade spirit stone.
No one expected that a surprise attack would occur, with someone immediately asking for 100,000 high-grade spirit stones. This silenced those who had been clamoring that the item was useless, and they all looked towards the private room where the voice had come from, which was located on the third floor.
The people there are all rich and powerful, all of them well-known figures on the second floor, with noble status.
"What... what is this thing? It can actually be bought for 100,000 high-grade spirit stones. It looks so ordinary to me!"
"Yes, should we go with the same price?"
Those who are sitting here today are all wealthy, so there's no issue of not being able to keep up with the price. It's just that everyone is weighing the pros and cons, deciding whether or not to buy it.
In the private room, Xu Yuehuai finally spoke, and everyone looked at her. Nangong Yu opened her mouth slightly, "Senior sister, why did you buy this? It's just an ordinary dagger, nothing special about it. I just checked it."
"Senior Sister, could there be some secret about this dagger? Could you tell me how to tell if it's a treasure or not, so I can find a bargain next time?" Shi Mu stared at Xu Yuehuai with a mixture of expectation and naivety.
Xu Yuehuai glanced at everyone and said, "I just really like it. There's no particular reason. Those so-called reasons don't exist at all. Just take it in stride."
As soon as Xu Yuehuai said this, even Nangong Yu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. What kind of ordinary person could spend 100,000 high-grade spirit stones to buy someone they like?
"Two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones."
While everyone was still reeling from the shock of receiving 100,000 high-grade spirit stones, a gentle, refined voice rang out from another person in a private room on the third floor, just like Xu Yuehuai and the others.
This immediately raised the price from 100,000 to 200,000.
Those below were so shocked they couldn't speak. "What kind of monsters are these people?! Do they really not value spirit stones? Bidding up by tens of thousands!"
If it were anything else, adding 100,000 spirit stones wouldn't be a problem, but the issue is that this item isn't worth that price.
It's like you take 100,000 yuan to buy a piece of candy, and then someone else comes along and tries to take that candy from you, offering 100,000 yuan more. Anyone who sees that would be shocked!
"No, this world is surreal! Why do I feel like I'm hallucinating?"
Someone couldn't help but mutter this to themselves.
"Three hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones." Xu Yuehuai followed closely behind. Shangguan Xi felt a pang of heartache and grabbed Xu Yuehuai's hand, saying with a hint of hope in her eyes, "Senior Sister, listen to me, this is not how you raise the price. Thirty spirit stones to buy a dagger, I think this world is still a bit crazy."
Xu Yuehuai roared inwardly. It wasn't that she really liked the item that much, but Yuan Shui had specifically instructed her to buy it, no matter the cost.
She had known Yuan Shui for so long, but this was the first time she had ever seen him speak to her with such a serious expression. Since things had already come to this, she might as well listen to him and give it a try, and see what the results would be.
Most importantly, she felt that the dagger was familiar, and there was a sense that it was attracting her, which was similar to when she met Bai Ze at the auction.
"Five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones." The voice rang out again.
The auctioneer below excitedly pointed to the people in box number three, "The esteemed guest in box number three has bid 500,000 high-grade spirit stones. Does the esteemed guest in box number one want to raise the bid?"
The auctioneer felt this was the easiest item she had ever sold; she had barely finished introducing it and hadn't even said two words when the battle had already begun.
"Judging from how fiercely they're fighting over it, could this be some kind of priceless treasure? If I had known, I should have bought it much sooner!"
"Who says otherwise! But I haven't yet noticed the most unusual thing about this dagger."
...
Nangong Yu stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with an unreadable expression. Suddenly, he said, "I'll go deal with this. I think the other side is deliberately targeting us."
Xu Yuehuai stopped him from getting up and said, "Maybe they really want it? Don't be so impulsive. Let's wait and see. At most, it'll just cost a little more spirit stones."
The next second, Xu Yuehuai said into the microphone, "One million high-grade spirit stones."
Nangong Yu performed a chair-dropping act for everyone on the spot. Everyone stared at Xu Yuehuai as if he were a monster. Shi Mu's eyes widened. He had never seen so many spirit stones in all his life, and Xu Yuehuai had used up so many at once.
Everyone erupted in excitement, turning their gazes toward where Xu Yuehuai was in VIP room number one. Fortunately, the room only allowed one-way viewing, so those outside couldn't see what was happening inside.
"Whose spendthrift child is this? Spending a million spirit stones on a dagger! Even if you have spirit stones, you can't just throw them away like that!"
"This is terrifying. If this child were my child, I'd probably be furious."
"Don't you guys think there's something unusual about this dagger? If it's not something special, why would the people in VIP room number one spend a million to buy it?"
"I think you're overthinking it. What's so special about this? It's just an ordinary thing. If there's anything special about it, it's probably that the patterns on it are prettier than those on other daggers."
"Exactly, exactly. Besides, so many experts here couldn't see any difference. What does that prove?"
"But I still feel that this thing is unusual. The scions of those big families are just rich and powerful, not stupid. How could they be so stupid as to spend a million to buy something that is completely useless?"
