"Everyone, please be quiet. Now, the auction for this Golden Chain will officially begin. The starting price is … 1 million gold coins! Each increment must be at least 10,000 gold coins. "
In the real world, 1 million was enough to buy a luxury car or a house. However, it was only the starting price for a piece of virtual equipment in the game world. Such a base price reflected the huge contrast between the different planes of any world. Before the currency exchange system was opened, the Mystic Moon world was fair. Everyone had the same starting point, it was just that they walked a different path. Once the currency exchange system was opened, the Mystic Moon world would be like the real world, gradually becoming a world for the rich. They could spend money that ordinary people would never be able to earn in their lifetime to obtain a piece of equipment that would allow them to stand above others. They could use their wealth and influence to build a huge team that they could control. They could use money to make groups of men and women bow down to them. However, people without money couldn't do all of this.
This world, or any other world, was never truly fair. Lord Fortune's starting price was shocking to ordinary people, but in the eyes of those at the top, it was just a number that they could do without.
"1.2 million!!"
"1.25 million!"
"1.3 million!"
"1.3 million!"
… …
… …
Without any suspense, as soon as Lord Fortune's starting price was announced, the bidding was like a flood. The intensity of the bidding was far greater than when the cursed earrings were being auctioned. After all, the cursed earrings could make magic players go crazy, and this Golden Moon Deities Necklace was a godly item for any profession.
The starting price was 1 million, but there were still so many people bidding. This caused the audience to sigh. In Hua Xia, there were too many rich people that they would not normally be able to interact with. But above the rich, there were also super rich people, such as …
"10 million!"
When the price of the Golden Chain was raised to 2 million, a calm girl's voice rang out from the back of the hall. Her voice was not loud, but it caused the noisy auction hall to immediately quiet down.
The person who had called out the price slowly put down the sign in her hand. An enchanting yet dignified woman appeared in everyone's line of sight. There was no one else in the whole of Hua Xia who would have the courage to directly call out a bid of 10 million.
The Loulan Queen – Li Xiao Xue!
Her bid caused many people to inwardly suck in a breath of cold air. It also made almost everyone put down the signs in their hands that they were about to raise.
Li Xiao Xue hadn't been in the virtual gaming world for a long time. In total, she had only been there for three to four years. However, in these few short years, she had made all the players come to a consensus that had never been broken. As long as Miss Li was present at any auction. As long as it was something that Miss Li liked, no one could take it away from her. In the past three or four years, there had been no exceptions.
There were many rich people in Hua Xia, but none of them were richer than the Li Family, at least for now. It was rumored that the Li Consortium controlled close to half of the wealth in Hua Xia. Regardless of whether this rumor was false or exaggerated, at the very least, it clearly showed how high the status of the Li Family in Hua Xia was.
What many players were worried about the most had finally happened … Miss Li had taken a fancy to it, and she even bid for it. And as long as she made a bid, this golden chain would not belong to a second person … It would belong to her, Li Xiao Xue. Even the Yan Huang Alliance's Long Tian Yun wouldn't be able to beat her.
"Calling out 10 million in one go. No matter how rich the family is, they can't be so wasteful! If they're so wasteful, their gold and silver mountain will be gone sooner or later. "Ling Chen rubbed his forehead as he said emotionally … he had no choice but to be emotional! This was because the 10 million that Miss Li had called out would go straight into his pocket!
10 million!!
"No, it's the opposite." Beside him, Yun Meng Xin shook her head, "Although Li Xiao Xue doesn't even frown when she spends money, she definitely won't squander. This is because she does things swiftly and decisively, and doesn't want to waste time and unnecessary words. Not only will she not waste the Li Family's wealth, but she's also a true business genius. She started managing the Li Consortium when she was 15 years old, and in the past five years, she has increased the Li Consortium's wealth by more than 5 times. It's also because of her that the Yun Family has lost the right to compete with the Li Family. "
"5 times in 5 years?!" Ling Chen couldn't help but be shocked by this number. He started to re-evaluate this beautiful, luxuriously dressed girl with calm eyes.
This woman was not simple at all.
"12 million!"
The bidding didn't stop because of Li Xiao Xue. A tall, dark-faced, middle-aged man called out a shocking price of 12 million, then nodded towards Li Xiao Xue's position and said, "I am the Black Flames Alliance's Alliance Master, Black Flames Strong Wind. I am very fond of this necklace, and I hope that Loulan Queen can bear to part with it. Our Black Flames Alliance will definitely remember …"
"30 million!"
Pu …
Ling Chen spat out the tea that had just reached his mouth.
The Black Flames Alliance was one of the ten strongest powers in Hua Xia. What kind of person was the Alliance Master, Black Flames Strong Wind? Even Long Tian Yun wouldn't ignore his words. As for Li Xiao Xue, she didn't even look at him. Her eyebrows were slightly lowered, and before Hei Yan Zephyr could finish speaking, she shouted out a "30 million" in an indifferent tone. Such a terrifying number, yet she didn't even raise her eyebrows. It was as if she was brushing off a speck of dust.
Whether it was inside or outside, everyone was in an uproar. Li Xiao Xue would never give face to anyone, and she didn't need to give face to anyone, even if it was the Black Flames Alliance's Alliance Master. Black Flames Strong Wind's expression fluctuated. He knew that he had no chance of winning against the Loulan Queen, but after staring at the golden necklace on the screen for a long time, he still didn't give up. He gritted his teeth and said, "3300 …"
"50 million!"
Hua — —
It was unknown how many players were so shocked that they gasped for air.
Black Flames Strong Wind didn't even finish his bid before he was suppressed into silence by Li Xiao Xue's three words. He sighed and sat down … This was the Loulan Queen, the daughter of the Li Family Financial Group. She rarely appeared in public, and usually didn't speak much. However, in front of people with great power and background, she was able to suppress them with just a few words. For so many years, the upper class of Hua Xia had always been thinking about which man this Miss Li, who had a beauty that could topple cities, a beauty that could topple nations, and who had so much money that she could destroy an entire nation, would fall into.
As for the Yan Huang Alliance, who also wanted the golden necklace, they didn't even make a bid. This was because even if they participated, they would only serve as foils for the Loulan Queen.
50 million, the dust settled. Apart from the Miss Li, who would spend 50 million to buy this Moon Deities Necklace? That person must be crazy.
"50 million going once!"
"50 million going twice!"
"50 million going thrice!"
50 million! Lord Fortune was so excited that his entire body was trembling. He knew that this golden necklace would definitely be sold for an astronomical price, but never would he have thought that it would be sold for 50 million. He had seen all sorts of storms in his life, and yet he was still shocked by this price. His face turned purple, "Sold … sold!! Congratulations, Miss Li! This priceless treasure now belongs to you, and I'm sure you won't regret your decision today! "
Amidst the stunned, shocked, envious, and respectful gazes, the transaction of the golden chain was officially completed … This was a transaction of 50 million yuan.
"Big brother … big brother, your heart seems to be beating really fast, are you feeling unwell?"
Shui Ruo, who had been leaning against Ling Chen, pressed her small hand on Ling Chen's chest. She could feel his heart beating abnormally, and said worriedly.
"It's nothing, it's just that I drank a bit too much tea." Ling Chen hurriedly shook his head … 50 million, that was a whole 50 million! How could his heart not beat faster! If it wasn't for his strong mental energy, he would have lost control and started screaming.
Fat sheep! Definitely a fat sheep! Even if I have to sacrifice my body, I have to become good friends with Miss Li … Ling Chen clenched his fists, and fiercely thought to himself.
He had never doubted that after this auction, the gold coins he would earn would be more than enough to pay off the loan from the Azure Dragon's mayor. However, he would never have thought that even before the Guild Creation Token was auctioned, a single gold-patterned chain would bring him 50 million gold coins. In the blink of an eye, he had become a millionaire!
"By the way, are you guys familiar with Miss Li?" Ling Chen turned around and asked the girls. Yun Meng Xin was the daughter of the Yun family financial group, Xiao Qi was the princess of the Battle Alliance, and Su 'Er was the daughter of the mayor of Beijing. All of them had extraordinary statuses. The circle of the upper class was not small, but it was not big either. They should have many opportunities to interact with each other.
"We've interacted a few times, but we're not familiar with each other. After all, the Li family's sphere of influence is mainly in the south, and we're in the north. "Yun Meng Xin said.
"Mhmm, I've only seen Li Xiao Xue once, but we haven't talked. Big brother Ling Tian, don't tell me … you've fallen in love with her? That's true, Li Xiao Xue is so beautiful, has such a good figure, and is so rich. Any man would be moved by her. "Xiao Qi moved closer to Ling Chen and said with a smile.
Ling Shui Ruo giggled.
"No, no, not at all!" Ling Chen hurriedly waved his hands, "I'm just a little curious. I'm not worthy of such a noble's daughter."
"Of course not!" Xiao Qi immediately retorted, "Big brother Ling Tian is so powerful. If one day you can defeat the Sword Emperor and become the new number 1 on the Heaven Rankings, then in the whole of Hua Xia, there won't be a girl that you can't get."
Ling Chen's mouth twitched, but he didn't reply. After a while, he picked up his communication device and quietly sent a private message …
"Gui Ya, I want all the information on that Loulan Queen, the more detailed the better. Give it to me within three days. "
Below the stage, the auction continued.
"It's already 10am, and there are already 9 unique items that have been sold. The atmosphere of the auction is so warm that it makes people's blood boil. Next, let's take a short break and listen to some relaxing music. After the break, we'll begin the grand finale of the Azure Dragon City's Central Auction House. Everyone, please don't leave. "
Lord Fortune's face was glowing as he finished speaking, and he lightly walked behind the stage. At the same time, gentle music began to play in the auction hall, calming everyone's hearts.
Everyone was well aware of what the finale was going to be. The auction hall quieted down, and it was the calm before the storm. Not a single person left. Even if someone chased them away with a stick, they wouldn't leave.
