720: C720 Spending Money like Dirt

C720 Spending Money like Dirt

Ye Ling, on the other hand, was the least interested in the last auction item. After all, he wasn't an archaeologist, so although it was a novelty to buy something that might be alien, he couldn't think of any use for it other than being the foot of a brick bed.

However, for the system's mission, Ye Ling had to find a way to buy it.

"The final item of this auction is an artifact unearthed from a dragon tomb. Yes, you did not mishear me. It is an artifact from the Jurassic Period."

Sophia's voice suddenly became mysterious, and for a while, many people were interested.

"Jurassic artifacts? Are you sure you aren't mistaken? There was no one in that era, so where did the cultural relics come from? "

"Could it be that human civilization already existed during the Jurassic era, but we didn't know about it before?"

"Could it be someone's prank? If that's really the case, then this auction is going to be really big. "

"As for the authenticity of the relic, the Exchange had asked the most famous archaeologist in the outside world to verify it before it was exhibited." As for the authenticity of the relic, the Exchange had asked the most famous archaeologist in the outside world to verify it before it was displayed.

Sophia covered her mouth and laughed.

"It's not from Earth, is it from Mars?"

Hearing this, some people couldn't help but laugh out loud, causing the surrounding people to laugh out loud.

"Whether it's Mars or not, Sophia doesn't know." Sophia spoke with a frown and a look of distress, which made people feel sorry for her.

However, this expression didn't last for long. Sophia changed to a mysterious expression and said, "But Sophia knows that this piece of cultural relic was probably created by an alien."

"Haha, Miss Sophia sure knows how to joke around. If there are really aliens in this world, why have I never seen one in my entire life?"

Someone laughed out on the spot with a confident look on his face. He was sure that there was no alien.

The universe is endless, with alien science and technology, to reach Earth isn't something that can be done overnight. It might take 10 years, 100 years, 1,000 years, or even longer time to travel through space, but in comparison, your lifespan is only 40 years. Perhaps for some long-lived aliens, you might still be considered as a baby that hasn't stopped drinking milk. Sophia smiled and joked.

As soon as he finished speaking, the face of the person who spoke earlier instantly turned red and the surrounding people began to laugh.

"Hehe, alright, I won't joke with everyone anymore. Everyone, please take a look at the auction items."

Suddenly, the screen behind Sophia lit up again. A hexagonal object appeared on the screen. It was silver in color and covered in tiny blue lines. It seemed to be a piece of metal that was very mysterious.

Aside from the tiny blue lines on the metal plate, it was not empty. There were also many words engraved on it. It was hard to tell what they were.

"Um …" "Could it be the legendary alien script?!"

Someone in the seats exclaimed as he stared at the words on the metal board.

"Isn't it just a bunch of nonsense?"

Some people retorted.

"Glyph Devils?" "I have no experience!"

The person who spoke first, upon hearing this, could not help but snort: "I have been immersed in the study of writing for more than twenty years, regardless of the type of writing, even the most unorthodox writing in history, has its own rules. There is an intrinsic difference between this piece of metal and the Glyph of Demons, obviously this piece of metal has its own rules of writing."

"Hehe, that gentleman was right. This piece of metal is indeed carved with some kind of language. We have consulted many famous archaeologists before coming to this conclusion. As for the meaning of these words, it might take a long time to decipher them."

Sophia changed the subject, "Alright, the auction even specially gave this piece of metal a name — Secret Silver Tablet."

"The auction for the finale item has begun. The starting price is — 100 million!"

As the sound of his voice faded, a collective gasp could be heard.

The starting price was one hundred million, how fierce!0

Wasn't the exchange afraid that no one would be willing to buy an auction?

However, as it turned out, the exchange price was still a wise move. With the starting price of 100 million, it did not take long before people started to bid again and again.

"105 million!"

"110 million!"

"One hundred and thirteen million!"

… …. The rate at which the price rose wasn't too fast, because for many people present, 100 million was already a sky-high price. Many people even sold themselves for 100 million, and even if they did, 100 million was the limit for most people.

"200 million!"

However, at this moment, private room number eighteen opened its mouth. A youth with his hands on the table and eyes shining stared at the secret silver monument, as if he was determined to get it.

In fact, many people in the VIP rooms had already received the news of the finale. Although no one knew what was recorded on the secret silver monument, it was very likely that something from another planet contained some heaven-shaking secret. If it was unraveled one day, it might be able to help them rise above the eight great societies, or even the Church!

"300 million!"

Before Sophia could start counting, a cold voice sounded and raised the price. The person who bid came from private room three.

At this time, in private room three, there was a valiant looking young man with neatly combed blond hair sitting there, holding onto the Red Wine cup, his eyes staring at the screen.

If Ye Ling could see the situation here, he would definitely recognize the youth.

Owen Mercer!

It was not just Owen Meany. Beside him was a middle-aged man, the president of the Otto Society — Otto!

Although they couldn't confirm it, both of them had a feeling that this secret silver tablet must have some connection with the metal door they found in the necropolis.

So he must buy it at all costs!

"500 million."

However, at this moment, Ye Ling's calm voice came from private room number 7, causing the two people in private room number 3 to turn cold.

"Six hundred million!"

A bid was called out in private room ten.

"750 million!"

A cold female voice came from private room number six.

"One billion!"

Owen Meany snorted coldly, causing the hearts of countless people to pound violently. That was 1 billion in black coins!

However, before they could even react, an even more shocking bid resounded in the auction house.

"2 billion!"

The person who spoke was room seven, Ye Ling!
