302 Vying for the Finale (1/2)
”You…” The old man coldly snorted before remaining silent.
But Lin Yun's words made everyone check their list of lots.
'One, two, three, four, five, six, seven…'
'Shit, including the finale, there are only seven items left…'
'Then that means…'
'Seven items, including the finale, the Star Gem…'
'Shit, that means there is nothing left in the auction for others! That nouveau riche will take over the rest of the auction!'
'That fucker…'
Many people were annoyed and angry. They wouldn't have bothered to come if they had known earlier that such an abnormal wastrel would appear in this auction. What fun was there in seeing someone going home with all the items?
And no one was including the Darkness Evil Python Skin, since it already belonged to that nouveau riche in their eyes.
After all, no one would try to upstage Lin Yun's bid of 2,000,000 golds. That was a price that made everyone despair. The auctioneer himself didn't bother stalling for another bid and only asked once before doing the countdown, slamming his hammer, and announcing that the lot was won.
The auction progressed to the Crystal Page.
It was unknown who was selling the Crystal Page, and there was no detailed information about it. When the auctioneer introduced it, he only mentioned that it possessed some mysterious power. As for its origin, he didn't have access to that information.
But this didn't affect everyone's enthusiasm for the Crystal Page.
After all, the mana fluctuations emitted by the page weren't concealed, and those astonishing mana fluctuations weren't something that any ordinary item possessed. It was a Spiritual Magic Tool at the very least, possibly even a peak Spiritual Magic Tool. Such an item would never sell for less than a million in an auction.
Not to mention...
There was a Lin Yun sitting in the auction hall.
Thus, Lin Yun directly announced his bid for the Crystal Page when it came out.
”1,000,000 golds.”
”...” Lin Yun's bid once again silenced the auction hall.
This was too disgusting.
It wasn't too high or too low, it was exactly 1,000,000 golds.
Of the more than a hundred people sitting in the auction hall, about eighty of them had set the price of that item at a million golds. In other words, once the Crystal Page reached a million, they wouldn't compete over it.
As a result, many people were disgusted by Lin Yun's bid of a million.
This feeling was similar to taking out some toilet paper just to have the lights suddenly extinguish, it was a shitty feeling.
At this time, many smart guests started re-examining Lin Yun.
Initially, everyone had thought that he was only a nouveau riche, but his current bid made them realize that this youth wasn't that simple.
How could he bid so precisely otherwise?
He bid a price that made everyone feel uncomfortable...
This kind of insight wasn't something a nouveau riche would have.
Okland didn't lack informed people. Soon, everyone got some basic information: That young man was called Mafa Merlin and had recently returned to the Merlin Family. He had been living in Thousand Sails City previously as an outcast, but apparently, his business in Thousand Sails City was extremely profitable and he held a terrifying amount of wealth.
Some people even learnt that the Merlin Family had been so eager to get him to return because of that wealth.
For some time, the auction hall became noisy as people discussed this with their neighbors.
They were all discussing this suddenly returning Mafa Merlin.
Some meddlesome ones even started talking about his rise in Thousand Sails City and speculating over whether he came to fight over the Patriarch's position. There also some who recognized Ross next to him and starting saying that Ross Merlin and that nouveau riche from Thousand Sails City had joined hands to form a powerful alliance to fight over the seat of the Merlin Family Patriarch.
At this time, the auction hall felt like a noisy food market.
They were no longer focused on the auction, but instead were all discussing the young mage...
Only a few people were truly focused on the auction.
Such as Lin Yun and Hanson Charlotte.
”1,500,000 golds…” Hanson's voice came from the private room. ”Kid, I already told you, Okland isn't Thousand Sails City. Let me see if you are capable of getting this Crystal Page…”
But...
