"115 million, going thrice!"
"Sold!"
Along with the sound of the hammer being struck, the first Death-Free Gold Medallion, which was the last item of the auction, was taken.
"Congratulations to VIP No. 017!"
Warm applause immediately rang out in the auction hall.
Bidder No. 017 was Zuoqiu Yongjie. Although everyone now knew that the Death-Free Gold Medallion was really a good thing, the competition for the first Death-Free Gold Medallion was not particularly fierce.
First of all, because the Zuoqiu Family's name was too famous, everyone had to give Zuoqiu Yongjie some face. Secondly, Zuoqiu Yongjie had tested the effect of the Death-Free Gold Medallion with his own life and even paid 50 million for it. It was reasonable for him to bid for another one.
Most importantly, there were still eight Death-Free Gold Medallions. There was no need to fight desperately for the first one.
Another reason that couldn't be mentioned was that everyone was quite afraid of Zuoqiu Yongjie's madness. If he didn't go crazy as he wished, the scene wouldn't be good.
Just treat it as coaxing a child!
However, everyone soon realized that Zuoqiu Yongjie, this "naughty child", was not so easy to coax. The second and third Death-Free Gold Medallion were all taken by him!
In fact, in such an auction, there were many tacit rules. Just now, everyone gave way to Zuoqiu Yongjie once, so Zuoqiu Yongjie should stop while he was ahead and give the following opportunities to others.
The behavior of taking all the power for oneself was not popular anywhere.
But Zuoqiu Yongjie was obviously an exception. He didn't care about the rules at all. After getting the first Death-Free Gold Medallion, he was not satisfied at all. He fiercely fought for two more Death-Free Gold Medallions and actually raised the price to more than 150 million!
And judging from his posture, it seemed that he was going to take all the remaining Death-Free Gold Medallions!
Now, many people couldn't sit still.
Different people's evaluation of the value of life was different. If an ordinary person was asked to take out hundreds of thousands or even millions to buy a Death-Free Gold Medallion, most people would not be willing to do so.
Because the "death-exemption golden medallion" was a one-time use item, it was really not worth it for ordinary people to take out their life savings and lose their ability to resist the risks of life for a small probability that they would not need to use it in their lifetime.
Illness was the first cause of unnatural death for ordinary people, not accidental injuries.
Even so, the nobles were absolutely willing to spend hundreds of millions to add a layer of insurance to their lives, especially now that Extraordinary powers were surging incessantly. No one could guarantee that they would not encounter fatal accidents.
In comparison, money was nothing. He could earn it back after spending it, but if he lost his life, he could not get it back.
Zuoqiu Yongjie's table manners were so unsightly. Was there something wrong with his brain?
The answer was obviously no. This guy had offended too many people. Adding a few more layers of insurance for himself was the wisest choice.
Moreover, even if he didn't use the Death-Exemption Medallion himself, it would still be an excellent treasure as a gift.
Thus, when the fourth Death-Exemption Gold Medallion was put up for auction, not many people gave Zuoqiu Yongjie any face or were afraid of his madness. Everyone raised their paddles repeatedly and pushed the bidding price to a new height!
"200 million!"
In just a dozen bids, the bid easily broke the 200 million mark.
"Although this Zuoqiu Clan member is a little crazy …"
Yan Donglai said to Zuo Yi meaningfully, "But without him, we will earn a lot less."
In fact, strictly speaking, Yan Donglai was not very willing to see such a scene because money was just a number to him. In comparison, the reputation of the Yan family and the West Auction House was more important.
If the bidding was too crazy, not many people would be satisfied in the end, and most of their resentment would be directed at the West Auction House.
However, in order to be on good terms with Zuo Yi, Yan Donglai did not care about the possible criticism and did not interfere at all.
Otherwise, as long as he gave the order, the experienced auctioneer would naturally control the rhythm and the atmosphere.
Zuo Yi nodded in agreement and said casually, "Then, when the auction is over, you can give him one for free. I'll make another one for you later."
Yan Donglai's breathing immediately stopped!
After a while, he asked carefully, "Mr. Zuo, did you personally make these Death-Exemption Gold Medallions?"
"Yes."
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "If you need anything in the future, you can come to me."
Although he had foreseen such a possibility before, now that he heard Zuo Yi personally confirming it, the shock in Yan Donglai's heart could not be described with words.
What did this mean?
This meant that Zuo Yi had the ability to continuously create strange items. His ability was far beyond Yan Donglai's imagination!
Yan Donglai was not a Superhuman, but he had a deep understanding of Superhumans and the inner world. However, he had never heard of any Superhuman who had the same ability.
He was simply a living money tree!
If Zuo Yi was not a powerful Class A Superhuman, Yan Donglai might immediately have some thoughts.
He could not help but ask, "Can I have as many as I want?"
Zuo Yi shook his head. "The materials are limited."
The key to the Death-Exemption Gold Medallion was the Life-protection Rune engraved on it, and the high-level Life-protection Rune required the precious Senai Mithril as the base material.
There was not much Senai Mithril left in Zuo Yi's space ring. It was impossible to use all of it to make the Death-Exemption Gold Medallion.
However, Zuo Yi had plans to buy Linjiang Town and transform it into his utopia as a Bao'er's paradise. The funds required for that would be at least tens of billions.
Therefore, he did not mind revealing some secrets to Yan Donglai, because the latter's control of the West Market was undoubtedly the best way to raise funds at the moment.
"Mr. Zuo …"
Yan Donglai hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you keep this matter a secret for the time being? If you need any funds, just tell me. The Yan family will have no problem raising tens of billions."
This was the foundation of a wealthy family. If it were the Mei family who had bought drugs from Zuo Yi, it would not be easy for them to raise tens of billions.
Zuo Yi said, "Okay."
He understood what Yan Donglai meant. He obviously wanted to use the Death-Exemption Gold Medallion as a trump card. If others knew that he could make more Death-Exemption Gold Medallions, the value of the trump card would be greatly reduced.
As the saying goes, rare goods are worth hoarding. This would not do any harm to Zuo Yi. On the contrary, it would further increase the value of the Death-Exemption Gold Medallion. Of course, he would not refuse Yan Donglai's suggestion.
In fact, Zuo Yi was much more relaxed with the Yan family in front of him.
The auction was still going on.
Zuo Qiu Yongjie was not too crazy. He gave up after grabbing four Death-Exemption Gold Medallions.
One had to know that other than the over 100 people present, there were even more people participating in the auction. Although Zuoqiu of Shanghai had a prominent reputation, he wasn't one of the wealthiest families in Great Xia. If he really incurred the wrath of the crowd, he would still have to bear the consequences.
However, because of him, the bidding price of the Death-Exemption Gold Medallion was fixed at about 200 million.
The final Death-Exemption Gold Medallion was sold for 205 million. The auction commission was calculated separately.
The total price of the ten Death-Exemption Gold Medallions was more than 1.7 billion!
"Congratulations!"
Yan Donglai reached out his hand to Zuo Yi and said with a smile, "Happy cooperation."
Zuo Yi shook hands with him and said, "Thank you. Happy cooperation."
Both sides were very satisfied.
At this moment, Yan Donglai's female assistant came over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Yan Donglai's expression changed. He immediately said to Zuo Yi, "Mr. Zuo, Zuo Qiu Yongjie wants to meet the client of the Death-Exemption Gold Medallion. Do you know about it?"
In fact, Yan Donglai could have concealed this matter and asked someone to send Zuo Qiu Yongjie away. He would not give the latter a chance to contact Zuo Yi. However, he told Zuo Yi without even thinking about it.
It was not that Yan Donglai had a problem with his IQ. It showed that he trusted Zuo Yi's magnanimity.
Moreover, Zuo Yi might not be willing to meet Zuo Qiu Yongjie.
However, Zuo Yi thought for a moment and said, "Then let him come over and meet him here. Is it convenient?"
The last sentence was asked by Yan Donglai out of respect for the host.
Yan Donglai laughed heartily and said, "Why not? I'll ask someone to invite Zuo Qiu Yongjie over now."
A moment later, Zuo Qiu Yongjie appeared in VIP room No. 1 with two attendants.
Seeing Yan Donglai, this "Zuo Qiu Lunatic" was obviously stunned. Then, he grinned and said, "Uncle Yan, I didn't expect you to be here. Forgive me for my rudeness!"
After saying that, he actually bowed to Yan Donglai in a solemn manner.
Yan Donglai did not know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly reached out to hold him and said, "You're an honored guest today. There's no need to be so polite."
Zuo Qiu Yongjie chuckled and straightened his back. He said, "Uncle Yan, since you're here, you should give me a discount. I've been a shill for you once. You have to admit it, right?"
Yan Donglai was a person who would not be taken out by his words. He said with a smile, "Yongjie, let me introduce you. This is the client of the death-free golden medallion, Zuo Yi, Mr. Zuo."
Zuo Qiu Yongjie's eyes fell on Zuo Yi. His face suddenly changed.
"Riverside Dragon King, Zuo Yi?"
