There were a lot of social circles in this event. Most of them were the Jianghu people of Dragon City.
Some of the rich businessmen and second generation rich kids were the sponsors of the Jianghu people. Some of them were just interested in martial arts.
There was also a portion of people who came purely to network and gain experience. Basically, they were all young masters and rich beauties. In their small circle, the charm of the auction could not be compared to Luo Puti, who was known as one of the two beauties of Dragon City.
Luo had already attracted a lot of attention the moment she entered the hall.
Everyone was already familiar with Luo. So, Chen became the center of gossip.
"Who is that guy?"
"I don't know him. He's obviously not from the entertainment circle."
"Could he be from another city? He seems to be quite close to Luo. Could he be Luo's boyfriend? "
Everyone was shocked.
He did not expect someone to recognize Chen.
"He's a new internet celebrity. He's pretty good at creating hype. The First Love Peach that was a hot topic on Weibo a few days ago was planted by him! Luo was on a mission in Green Vine City. I think the two of them hooked up during that time! "
"No way! He's just a country bumpkin who grows fruits. What does Luo see in him? "
"That's right! He's just a little handsome. But, in terms of wealth, power, status, and fame, any of Luo's suitors can beat him! "
"Motherf * cker! How dare this country bumpkin hit on Luo? This is intolerable! "
...
Whenever Luo Puti was mentioned, all the women would be jealous of her beauty. Whenever Luo Puti's boyfriend was mentioned, all the men would get anxious.
Luo was one of the most beautiful women in Dragon City. She and Lady Mystery from the Liu Family were known as Dragon City's Twin Beauties.
The number of people who coveted them was like a school of carps. Many people in the entertainment circle had been eyeing these two beauties since they were in junior high school.
But today, Chen managed to snatch one of the spots away from them!
It would be weird if they didn't get angry!
"Wu Jiechao is not here! If not, that kid will definitely walk out of the restaurant! "Someone said sourly.
Not long ago, there was a wealthy businessman from Hong Kong who tried to woo Luo Puti. Wu Jiechao and his men broke the businessman's leg and told him that he was not allowed to set foot in Dragon City ever again. Otherwise, they would beat him up every time they saw him.
"Should I send a message to Wu Jiechao?" Someone said as if he wanted the world to be in chaos.
"Good idea! It just so happens that I'm bored today. If Wu Jiechao comes, there will be a good show to watch! "
"Right, right, right! Send the message immediately! "
…
The fellows at the side were also people who wanted to watch a good show and didn't mind stirring up trouble. All of them gathered their strength and fanned the flames.
At that moment, Chen and Luo had no idea what was going on in the dark.
The two of them found a seat and sat down. They found the list of items to be auctioned tonight. On it were the items to be auctioned and the order of appearance.
There were five auction items in total.
The first to appear was a three-hundred-year-old wild ginseng and a four-hundred-year-old purple ganoderma. These were all very rare herbs, and it was said that some alchemists dreamed of obtaining them!
The next item to be auctioned were two martial arts manuals, Thunder Staff Technique and Wind-god's Leg Technique!
The last item to appear was a Natural Spirit Stone!
"Haha! My luck is really too good! This is my first time attending an auction, and I'm already auctioning a Natural Spirit Stone! I must get this Natural Spirit Stone! "
Chen said excitedly as he rubbed his palms together.
"Let's take a look at the starting price first." Luo held a glass of white wine and took a sip. Her movements were very elegant. She looked like a queen!
"Damn! This … How much is this … One billion? Each increment must be at least one million? This is crazy! "
Chen didn't expect that a Natural Spirit Stone could be sold at such a high price!
Chen did not expect that a Spiritual Stone could be sold at such a high price!
You are a martial artist as well. You should know how important Spiritual Qi is. " Luo said calmly, "The Spiritual Qi in a Natural Spirit Stone can increase one's combat power by one hundred within three months.
But without Spiritual Qi, one would need to train for a few years to increase one hundred combat power! Without Spiritual Qi, one would need to train for a few years to increase one hundred combat power! Don't you think it's worth it to spend one billion for a few years? "
Chen Xiaobei nodded and said, "Alright. Now that you mention it, Spiritual Stones are not that expensive. For a real elite, the amount of money that they earned in a few years is more than enough to buy a lot of Spiritual Stones!"
Luo said, "In the end, training is not just about talent. It's also about resources and foundation! Those rich and powerful families and top factions can rely on a lot of resources to turn their mediocre descendants into elite elites. This will ensure that the status of these families and factions will never decline! "
"Sigh … It seems like I won't have the chance to buy it tonight." Chen shook his head helplessly.
Even though he had two billion in his account, he would not be able to spend most of it on a Natural Spirit Stone.
After all, his assets had just shrunk not long ago. If he were to buy a Natural Spirit Stone now, he would be back to square one.
How could he surpass the Lan Family?
When he thought about the Lan Family, Chen could not help but think about Lan Mengcheng's intention to distance herself from him. He also thought about the Lan Family's unspeakable difficulties.
The reason why Chen could not get involved was because he was still too weak. His strength, wealth, and power were not enough to reach that level.
If he was strong enough, Lan Mengcheng would not have to compromise, and Xiangyu would not have to join Thunder Kirin!
I want to become stronger!
I must become even stronger!
Sooner or later, the Chen Family will become one of the most powerful families! The people around me will not be bullied anymore!
I promise!
Chen's eyes were filled with determination. The pressure from the outside world could never defeat him. It only made him stronger!
"What's wrong with you? Don't tell me it hurt your pride? "
Luo put down the glass and comforted him softly, "You are still young. I didn't bring you here to buy anything! I brought you here to broaden your horizons. I want you to know that Green Vine City is not your stage! You, Chen Xiaobei, deserve a higher and wider sky! "
Chen was stunned. Then, he smiled and said, "Wifey, you are so good to me! With your encouragement, I will definitely fly higher and further! "
"How many times do I have to tell you? Don't call me wifey! " Luo rolled her eyes. The serious and serious atmosphere was ruined by Chen in an instant.
"Puti! You are here! "
At this moment, a tall, muscular man strode over and asked in a cold voice, "Puti, who is this pretty boy?"
