Chapter 1063: Riding a Tiger, Hard to Dismount
Su Chen sat there, naturally feeling a gaze fixed on him, without a doubt, it was Song Chu's.
However, regarding Song Chu, Su Chen didn't care much, he sat there leisurely, waiting for the auction to start.
Before long, a woman in a blue cheongsam with floral patterns walked in. This woman was tall, with a lovely face, her hair styled in a bun, revealing an elegant and slender neck!
She gave off an ancient charm, as if she came out of the water towns of Jiangnan!
"Bang!"
The woman reached the front of the stage, picked up the red little gavel, and tapped it on the table, and the room immediately quieted down!
"Welcome everyone to our Tianyuan Auction House Anping Branch, I am today's auctioneer Tao Susu."
The woman charmingly glanced around the room, making those men's hearts skip a beat, then she slowly opened her cherry lips and said.
"This woman is indeed special, very skilled at capturing men's hearts!"
Su Chen thought to himself, gaining a bit more interest in this Tianyuan Auction House.
"Miss Susu, let's start quickly!"
Someone impatiently shouted.
"Looks like everyone can't wait!"
Tao Susu giggled, her body slightly trembling, then she spoke:
"In that case, let's begin!"
"The first item we're auctioning today is a Martial Technique called 'Kongming Fist', with a starting price of two billion, and each increment is fifty million, starting now!"
"Three billion!"
As soon as Tao Susu finished speaking, a voice called out, directly raising the bid by one billion.
"Three billion five hundred million!"
Immediately another voice rang out.
...
Before long, this "Kongming Fist" had already been bid up to five billion!
Su Chen listened to everyone's bids, but had no intention to participate.
Although he currently had no martial techniques, he wasn't interested in this set of "Kongming Fist."
Because truly good things only accept exchanges of resources, like spirit stones, elixirs, spirit fruits, or cultivation techniques!
These are all valuable cultivation resources, not measurable by money, and can only be exchanged with other cultivation resources!
For Su Chen, this set of "Kongming Fist" was less useful for enhancing power than a strand of star energy!
What's more, Su Chen came mainly to observe this time, without really intending to buy, and the same went for Huang Menglei beside him.
This time, Huang Zhenhua only gave her five low-grade spirit stones, the same as the three spirit stones he gave Su Chen a few days ago!
After all, this is just a small auction, and Huang Zhenhua mainly wants her to participate!
Although these spirit stones were a bit better than what Su Chen got before, they were still low-grade spirit stones, not reaching middle-grade!
Of course, although Su Chen wasn't interested, this fist technique was somewhat attractive to some second-rate forces in the Ancient Martial World, as it can somewhat enhance their strength!
After a while, this set of "Kongming Fist" was eventually bought by a young master from the Luo Family for seven billion!
The Tao Susu on stage was very happy to see the first item sold for more than three times its price, her smile blooming like flowers!
"Now we proceed with the second item, another set of martial techniques, but it's a movement technique called 'Phantom Step', with a starting price of five billion, each increment is one billion!"
Tao Susu's pleasant voice rang out again.
"Six billion!"
As before, as soon as Tao Susu finished speaking, someone placed a bid!
Upon hearing that this was a movement technique, Su Chen was moved!
The people around him still had weak strength, and in case of danger, this "Phantom Step" could enhance their speed!
So, Su Chen planned to buy this movement technique and give it to Qi Meng!
But in a daze, this "Phantom Step" had already been bid up to nine billion. Clearly, movement techniques were more popular than regular techniques, since speed is an important factor in battle!
Especially in encounters with danger, it can increase escape chances!
"Ten billion!"
Su Chen lifted his paddle and called out.
"Brother Su, are you planning to buy it?"
Huang Menglei asked upon seeing Su Chen bid.
"Yes."
Su Chen nodded and replied.
"Eleven billion!"
Quickly another voice called out.
"Twelve billion!"
"Fifteen billion!"
Su Chen's voice rang out again, raising the price by three billion, immediately attracting a lot of attention!
Although people from the Ancient Martial World also have industries and aren't short on money, they can't compare with big financial groups!
After all, what they pursue is not wealth but the enhancement of their own strength. Monetary wealth is usually secondary for them!
Seeing Su Chen bid so aggressively, many had already given up.
Firstly, the item might not be worth that much, and secondly, even though many were young masters from sects or families, the resources, including money, they could use were limited!
"Ladies and gentlemen, are there any more bids?"
Tao Susu cast a charming glance and asked sweetly, feeling very happy at this point!
If this "Phantom Step" sells at this price, it would be three times the starting price again!
Tao Susu looked around, and seeing no more bids, she said:
"Fifteen billion going once!"
"Fifteen billion going twice!"
"Fifteen billion..."
"Sixteen billion!"
Just as Tao Susu was about to drop the little red gavel, a voice suddenly called out.
Su Chen and Huang Menglei turned to look, only to see Song Chu looking at Su Chen playfully.
"Song Chu, what do you mean by this?"
Huang Menglei stood up and said immediately.
"What's the matter? You can bid, but I can't?"
Song Chu replied nonchalantly.
"You didn't bid earlier, nor later, but chose now, clearly intentional!"
Huang Menglei retorted indignantly, and others naturally noticed this as well.
"I like it, he can continue to bid if he dares!"
Song Chu glanced at Su Chen, his tone somewhat provocative.
Su Chen pulled Huang Menglei down, motioning her to sit, while a playful smile appeared on his lips!
Although his cultivation resources weren't as rich as those of the Ancient Martial World, they couldn't compete with him financially!
This Song Chu was attacking with his weakness against the enemy's strength!
"Seventeen billion!"
Su Chen casually said.
"Eighteen billion!"
Song Chu immediately followed!
"Twenty billion!"
Su Chen slightly opened his mouth and lightly said.
Upon hearing Su Chen bid twenty billion, Song Chu's heart trembled!
Because the resources his father allowed him to use this time were only twenty billion in money and ten low-grade spirit stones!
He initially bid just to annoy Su Chen, but now he found himself in a difficult situation!
Backing down now, without a doubt, would be very embarrassing!
