Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1214: The Auction Begins
The Belle stared blankly before her expression turned to surprise. He originally thought that Tang Xiu was at most just the security guard of the Genesis Auction House. It never crossed his mind that he was the owner.
He's not ordinary.
The thought flashed through his mind and he immediately said weakly, “Since Mr. Tang personally took action, then I will no longer care about this little wolf child. By the way, may I have the honor of inviting you to dinner, Mr Tang? ”
Ankeanu's expression beside the belle changed before he looked somewhat humiliated. He shouted in a low voice, “Shania ..”
Belle glanced at him indifferently and lightly said, “Eating with Mr. Tang is an honor, but you can scram and hit the bed if you don't like it.”
“How is it?” shouted Ankeanu.
Silently Tang Xiu shook his head and raised his hand. “Stop, you two! I still have other things to do tonight, so I'm afraid I can't accompany you to dinner. Please leave after you both sign up. ”
Therefore, his eyes instantly turned sharp and filled with killing intent as he spoke in a heavy voice, “The Genesis Auction House has a rule that no one is allowed to fight and make a fuss here! Those who do so will tear all decency with us and no one will be able to bear the consequences if they try! ”
The short storm ended after Tang Xiu revealed his strength, but the news of the incident spread very quickly and was known to the rich people from various countries in just a few hours. Many of them then started sending their people to investigate it and finally confirmed that the owner of the Genesis Auction house was also the owner of the Magnificent Tang Corporation.
Furthermore, even the news that Tang Xiu was actually a cultivator also proliferated. Soon after, these rich people issued invitations to Tang Xiu, hoping they could invite him to dinner. It was common knowledge for anyone who cared that the main purpose of this invitation was none other than an attempt to get on good terms with Tang Xiu, so that they can get better profits and more benefits in the auction.
After Tang Xiu rejected all of them, he did not return to the Bluestar Villa Complex and remained at the Genesis Auction House. In addition to spending the past few days in cultivation, he had also refined some very good types of tools, as well, the ones were mostly accessories that had no function to help increase the strength of cultivators since the only function was for defense.
1 December.
At 6am, Tang Xiu appeared on the roof of the Genesis Auction House with Ji Chimei, who had been standing there quietly while watching the flow of people at the entrance.
The number of people attending the auction was over 2,400.
Each listed monarch could only bring one subordinate, meaning that the number of people attending the auction was over 4,800. The place itself was large enough to accommodate five thousand more people, so the number of participants was still acceptable.
“Is it time to open the entrance, my Lord?” Ji Chimei turned around and asked.
“This.” Tang Xiu nodded. “But this auction is very important, so I want you to use your spiritual senses to check everyone if they carry weapons.”
“I've checked these people with my spiritual senses and almost all of them carry weapons; some even carry magic weapons. ” Ji Chimei replied, “I think it would be rather troublesome if we forbid them from bringing weapons to the auction place.”
Tang Xiu pondered about it for a while and immediately forced a smile. “Because there's no way we can ban them from doing so, then forget about it. But if anyone dares to make trouble at the auction, kill them directly. ”
Afterwards, he pulled out his phone and dialed Hao Lei's number, saying, “Open the gate and verify the identity of the participant. Let them enter the auction venue according to their license plate. And do not forget to warn them seriously that anyone who does not take a seat according to their license plate will be removed from the auction house once they are found. ”
“Understanding!”
Hao Lei replied briefly. After hanging up the phone, he immediately appeared at the entrance of the auction house. Dozens of steadfast men then moved to control the situation and Hao Lei began to speak in a deep voice, “ Ladies and gentlemen, we will now check and verify the license plate number provided to you when you registered in advance. You can enter the auction venue after the verification procedure. Also, I want to remind you of something else. Please sit according to your license plate. If our staff finds out someone took someone else's seat, they'll take you out of the auction place. ”
In the next two hours, over 4,800 people entered the auction venue one after another. Spacious sofas have been lined with small wooden cabinets between each with drinks, fruits, and snacks already served. The auction platform itself was located on the deepest side with a height of two meters and over 100 square meters, while several large projectors played product advertisements of Magnificent Tang Corporation and Grand Fortune Jewelry.
Exactly at 8 o'clock.
“Girls, welcome to this mysterious, magical and beautiful oriental country of China. And welcome to Shanghai, East Pearl. And lastly, I welcome everyone to our Genesis Auction House and thank you for your participation in our first auction! My name is Higgert, the golden host of the Genesis Auction House and also the host of this auction.
“Yes, I am very happy at the moment because I have never held a big auction like this and I have never been the focus of attention from many super rich people around the world. Fortunately, the article auctioned by our Genesis Auction House gave me confidence and energy. Otherwise, I would have to duck down and lower my head to speak in front of a big figure like you, right? ”
A simple opening with a good sense of humor quickly won a good impression from many people. Soon after, Higgert announced that the auction had officially begun.
“Good. The first item to be auctioned was a set of precious and incomparable jewelry. Besides beautiful, this jewelry also has other effects that, well, even I am not familiar with the term “defense”. But according to our taskmaster, any guest wearing this jewelry can withstand the full blow of a Nascent Soul Stage practitioner. However, as I have said, this effect will only last three times facing a blow in such a way. In other words, having this set of jewelry was the same as having three more lives. The base price for this item is 1 billion US dollars with a bid increase of at least 50 million dollars, so without further ado, let's start the auction now. ”
Higgert then turned his head towards the beautiful staff beside him. She lifted the cover on a tray and a beautiful set of jewelry then appeared on the projector screen.
“Wow..”.
At least a third of the guests in the entire auction venue were in an uproar. They never dreamed that the first auction article of the Genesis Auction House turned out to be a magical tool made for cultivators.
In addition, it is a defensive type tool — magic tool in the form of jewelry.
The reaction of the guests made Higgert excited inwardly. To further increase the price of jewelry, she added, “Dear Fathers and Honored Mothers, even if you don't need them, are, You can give these exquisite defensive jewels to the person you care about most like your wife or child. We all know that our society is fraught with danger right now and I'm sure many of you have also watched the Final Destination movie, right? Danger and death may be all around us at all times, so please start bidding if you want to avoid that danger and protect your own life. And as mentioned earlier, each bid increase is set at least 50 million US dollars. ”
“2 billion!”
A Caucasian man grabbed a loudspeaker and shouted loudly. His eyes did not look at Higgert or glance at the others around him, but adornments staring fixedly appeared on the projector screen.
“2.1 billion!”
“2.2 Billion!”
“2 …”
Although the Caucasian man instantly doubled the price, he still could not stop the increase in the bid price. As many have realized, what Higgert said is true that having this jewelry equals having three more lives.
Prices continued to rise dramatically and the dramatic increase left Higgert flabbergasted. His heart was pounding faster and beating faster than when he was hosting his first auction.
“4 billion dollars!”
A loud voice came from the audience and a white-haired old man with a walking stick quoted his offer.
Higgert felt his scalp slightly numb. He had organized hundreds of auctions and occasionally, the money earned at the end of the auction could exceed 4 billion USD. However, the sum was the entire sum of the entire auction! What about 4 billion dollars now? It was only from the first article that was auctioned ?!
The white-haired man got up and his other hand grabbed the loudspeaker and asked, “Mr. Host, why don't you announce that this jewelry belongs to me because no one else is bidding? ”
Higgert seemed to wake up from a dream and hurriedly replied, “Your Majesty, please don't laugh at me. I'm very surprised by your amazing offer that leaves me a little confused. I hope you don't laugh at me, a poor man who never saw so much money. Well, I hereby announce that this jewelry now belongs to this man for 4 billion dollars. Please send someone backstage to complete the procedure now, sir. ”
The old man slightly smiled and nodded at the man next to him after sitting down.
Higgert calmed himself down first and then continued, The second “Article to be auctioned off is a magic weapon. It was said that this magic weapon had been used to kill some ferocious beasts and even split mountains several hundred meters high. Well, even though I think the script given to me was somewhat exaggerated, it was the taskmaster who said it to me, so I can only pass it on to everyone here. The base price for this item is 500 million dollars. Ah, right also, the person who trusted this item to us also mentioned that this spear was an extremely powerful magic weapon. ”
