C133 Bidder Pen
When the rune brush came out, He Qingxue's gaze was focused on it, the gaze in her eyes seemed to be extremely passionate.
Although her mastery of Symbol Literature was much higher than ordinary people, she had never used such a high grade rune brush before.
Of course, high or low rank didn't matter to her. What she was interested in was its performance. This type of rune brush's success rate was countless times higher than normal rune pens.
It was also because of this that Charm Magician would think of ways to get a good rune pen.
"Eldest Miss, the rest of the items in the team might be able to be auctioned off using this rune brush. Why don't you try it?" At this moment, Elder Dong's voice sounded from the side.
Elder Dong had always been by He Qingxue's side, how could he not know what He Qingxue was thinking?
Upon hearing this, He Qingxue immediately retracted her gaze, and shook her head, "Elder Dong, those treasures are still useful, they cannot be used on this. I only feel that this brush is a little special, I do not like it."
Although he said he did not like it, elder Dong was still able to see through He Qingxue's feelings for it.
However, since his young miss had said so, and those things were very useful to them, he could only remain silent.
Lin Long chuckled, and did not say a word.
It was at this moment that the auctioneer's loud voice rang out from below. "Use a brush made from Dark Shadow Golden Wolf's Bristle. Add in the good smelting gold and ink and the starting price is five thousand cloud dollars!"
The starting price was only a symbolic price, so the actual transaction price was naturally not that low. It was just like the one for the < Deadleaf Palm >.
"I bid 100,000 cloud dollars." The moment the auctioneer's voice fell, someone raised the price by who knows how many times.
Of course, this did not scare off those who wanted to buy this rune brush, because the value of this rune brush was far greater than that.
"I bid five hundred thousand."
"I bid six hundred thousand."
"What does six hundred thousand? I bid one million."
At the start, there were many people bidding, but with the increase of the bidding price, the number of people bidding became fewer and fewer. Finally, there were only a few people bidding against each other.
Looking at these people's expressions, they seemed to have steeled their resolve to buy this rune pen.
When the price was raised to two million, the entire venue quieted down.
The one who called out this price was a big fatty. Seeing the situation, he couldn't help but feel proud of himself.
"Two million going once!"
"Two million times!"
Just as the auctioneer was about to call out the third time, just as the fatty thought he had finally won the rune brush, a voice rang out.
"I'll pay three million."
"Room 201's honored guest bids three million." The auctioneer's voice followed.
Upon hearing this price, the Everyone at the scene was in an uproar. They never thought that someone would directly raise the price so high, this was directly wanting to kill the fat guy.
However, thinking that the bidders were the rich and powerful ones, they felt relieved.
It was not that there were no bidders in the room before, but it was just a few shouts, causing the others to think that the people in the room had no interest in this rune brush. Who would have thought that something like this would happen?
When the fat guy heard this, his face immediately turned ashen. Although he could continue to shout out money for a while, he knew that his money was not enough to compete with others. Moreover, if he continued to bid, then this rune pen would obviously surpass its original value.
After sighing for a while, the fatty could only give up on this rune brush.
Just when everyone thought the price would be set at three million, a voice rang out. "Three million five hundred thousand."
"Room 308's customer bids: 3.5 million." The auctioneer below the stage immediately shouted out.
The one who called out the price was naturally Lin Long, he could tell that the person who called out the price was Rong Ping, Rong Ping wanted to reclaim face on the rune brush, how could Lin Long let him succeed.
Hearing Lin Long's shout, He Qingxue, who knew that Lin Long was bidding for him, quickly replied, "Sir, this rune brush is really too expensive, you can't waste it like this."
Lin Long frowned, "Miss He, after knowing each other for so long, don't tell me this young master doesn't even have the right to gift you something?"
"But …"
He Qingxue still wanted to say something, but Lin Long interrupted him, "Miss He, there's no need to discuss this anymore."
Seeing that Lin Long was so determined, He Qingxue could only close his mouth helplessly. She had experienced Lin Long's tyranny, if it were Rong Ping and the others, she could very firmly reject them.
But Lin Long had helped them so much, she really didn't know how he could put on a face and refuse.
Actually, she was very happy upon hearing Lin Long's earlier bid, but she had no choice but to refuse due to the high price of the rune. After all, this price wasn't a simple favor.
Just as He Qingxue was immersed in her thoughts, the voice of the Charm Magician below sounded again, "Room 201 guests, bid 4 million."
Evidently, in such a short period of time, Rong Ping, who was in Room 201, had raised the bid again.
"Five million!" Lin Long said without hesitation.
"Five million five hundred thousand!" Below, Rong Ping did not show any signs of weakness.
Rong Ping was naturally able to tell that the person bidding was Lin Long, so how could he give up so easily? He was the dignified Young Sect Master of the Luo Yue Sect, if he lost to Lin Long who was from a small clan, he would not even have the face to stay in front of Wu Peng.
After faintly smiling, Lin Long shouted out a price again, "Six million five hundred thousand."
There was a special rune array on the side of the room that faced down towards the floor. This kind of array could increase the volume, so people inside didn't need to shout their price to be able to hear it.
"Wow, the price directly went up by a million, obviously the price is way too high for this rune brush."
"If we buy it at this price, it won't be worth it."
"It looks like there must be a conflict between the two above. That's why I'm putting more pressure on this rune brush."
The two bidders caused a commotion among the audience.
At this time, the price had already risen to eight million, and the one who called out the price was Lin Long.
"Young master, this price is too outrageous. It's way too high above the market price." At this time, He Qingxue could not help but say.
"A trifling eight million is nothing. Back then, I spent over a hundred million just like that!"
Over a hundred million?
Hearing this, the corner of He Qingxue's and Elder Dong's mouths twitched. Although Lin Long seemed like he was bragging, they had a faint feeling that this kind of thing actually existed.
After a moment of silence, Rong Ping gritted his teeth and said, "Nine million!"
He had added a million dollars in one go because he wanted to crush Lin Long. He did not believe that the other party would have any more Yun dollars to fight with him.
Honestly speaking, this price had completely exceeded his budget. If it was really agreed upon at this kind of price, he would definitely be at a loss of blood, but, he did not hesitate to take it back in front of He Qingxue.
Previously, when he saw the portrait of He Qingxue that Wu Peng brought, he swore that no matter what, he would definitely get this woman.
At this moment, the door to Room 201 was suddenly opened. Following which, a middle-aged man in his forties who was not wearing a mask walked in.
"Who?" Rong Ping immediately turned around, and said angrily. No matter who it was, they had to completely ignore him, who was the Young Sect Master of the Luo Yue Sect, when he barged in like this.
Seeing that they were on the same side as him, his expression eased up slightly. However, he still asked in a displeased tone, "Uncle Ke, what's the matter?"
"Young Sect Master, the price is too high, it's not even worth the loss. Moreover, if this is the price, there's no way to bid for the treasure that the Sect Leader wants." Uncle Ke replied anxiously.
Originally, he was sitting down, but who would have thought that the normally calm young sect master would keep calling out prices on a piece of writing, so he hurried over to stop this from happening.
"Uncle Ke, do you want me to make the decision or do you want me to make the decision?" Rong Ping said coldly.
"Of course it's you." Uncle Ke was surprised.
"Then why aren't you getting out of the way!" Rong Ping's face was filled with anger.
"This?" Uncle Ke didn't expect that Rong Ping would completely change into a different person today, so he could only sigh and leave.
It was also at this time that Lin Long suddenly spoke up from above: "Auctioneer, can you stop for a moment?"
"Of course you can, but every pause requires you to pay one thousand cloud dollars, and it only takes half an incense stick of time." The auctioneer replied with a smile.
"No problem." Lin Long said.
"Alright, then we'll stop for the time it takes to burn half an incense stick." The auctioneer immediately said.
When they heard Lin Long say that he would like to temporarily stop, everyone in the venue started talking about it. In their opinion, the reason why Lin Long had paused to raise money was because he knew that Lin Long did not have enough.
As for Rong Ping, he immediately revealed a smile, "Brat, compared to me, you're still too lacking."
From his point of view, Lin Long admitting defeat was about the same as stopping her, he even started to daydream about how he could use this rune brush to make Lin Long feel embarrassed in front of He Qingxue when the competition ended.
When He Qingxue, who was at the top of the private room, said that she was going to stop, she, who thought that Lin Long was going to give up, immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Lin Long then called the servants in.
"Sir, what can I do for you?" The waiter said with a smile.
"Hmm, I would like to ask, can you tell me what the treasures will be auctioned off?" Lin Long asked.
He Qingxue and Elder Dong were puzzled as they looked at Lin Long, not knowing why he was asking such a question.
"During the auction, our auction house will not allow the specific treasures to be revealed. However," The attendant said with a hint of hesitation.
"But what?"
"Since you are a VIP with a gold card, you are allowed to see a type of treasure. However, you must pay one hundred thousand cloud dollars." The waiter said.
"What? One hundred thousand cloud dollars just for a look?" Lin Long who was at the side, elder Dong immediately frowned.
"My apologies, this is the rule set by our hall master." The waiter said apologetically.
Lin Long actually waved his hand, "So be it."
A hundred thousand was nothing to him.
"Then mister, which type of treasure would you like to see?" The waiter asked after passing the cloud currency on the Lin Long Gold Card away.
"Rune type." Lin Long said.0
"Please wait a moment, I'll go ask around." Then, the waiter immediately ran out.
