The online auction was open for everyone to see. In less than half a minute after the auction started, the price had already exceeded 80 million.
This was much higher than the previous online estimate. However, in the eyes of the old masters of the auction house, even if the final price stopped at 80 million, it would still be within a reasonable range. Celebrities always had fans who did not lack money, or perhaps they had a management team working behind them to drive up the price.
But the current situation was that the bids were still rising!
Great-grandfather and Great-grandmother Fang had originally intended to help raise the bid, but they had not expected that once the auction started, they would not have a chance to bid. They could only watch from the sidelines.
Silver Wing's virtual projects department.
The gaming team members had not logged into the game at this time. They were all crowded in the lobby to watch the "battle."
Jinro watched the numbers jump on the screen. He rubbed his chin and smiled. "There's no place for us to shine."
In any case, the current bid had already exceeded the estimated price. That was enough. Everyone watching the auction felt much more relaxed.
The numbers on the screen were still changing. 80 million, 85 million, 88 million, 90 million...

Ming Cang's finger kept tapping on the screen.
Because he was too excited, he had lost his rationality. He did not even look at the current highest bid. As long as someone was bidding, he would raise.
Raise!
Raise again!
There were still people bidding? Raise again!
Then he realized... he had failed to raise the bid. He did not have enough money.
Only then did Ming Cang calm down. Thinking back, in the past few years, he and his wife had practically used most of their savings on medical treatment for their son. These two years, because they had found a treatment direction and had cooperated with various medical projects for reimbursement, they had saved up some money, but it was still far from what it had been. Even if they wanted to bid for the tooth, they could only watch.
Ma Xier, who was far away in Mazhou, had also stopped raising the bid. He viewed this auction as an investment. He had high hopes for Fang Zhao, so he had thought that if the estimated price had been 30 million to 50 million, he would have bid. But now, it had already exceeded his budget, so he rationally stopped.
Online, people who had been watching the auction for a long time also got excited.
"It's already 90 million!"
"This is double the average estimate of the old masters of the auction house! Can anyone explain? "
"90 million for a tooth? Is he crazy? "
"Maybe Fang Zhao's management company is hyping it up!"
"Spending so much money to hype it up? This is a big investment! "
"That's probably the price. 90 million, a sky-high price! Fang Zhao is famous again. His net worth is going to double! "
"Wow! There's a new battle! 100 million! "
The people who were discussing in the discussion section hurriedly went back to the main page. Sure enough, the bid had changed again. The bright red numbers were counted, 100 million, 100 million, that's right!
At the outpost, when the outpost team saw this bid, they broke into a commotion.
"This, this, this, this is over 100 million?"
It was unknown whose voice it was, but every word was fluttering, as if they were blown away by a hurricane as soon as they left their mouths.
Bie Liao's palms were covered in sweat, beads of sweat continuously dripping from his forehead.
Was he dreaming?
This was real?
One hundred million. The base had approved that their outpost could keep one-tenth of the money. This kind of auction, which was used for foreign planet military construction and immigration plans, did not need to pay taxes, so it was a solid ten million!
To the side, Riode was muttering something, his entire body covered in sweat. It was unknown whether it was because of nervousness or excitement, but he was not as calm as Bie Liao.
"Didn't they say that this tooth would go for 50 million?" Bie Liao turned his head and asked Kevin Lin.
"I've already said that it's just an estimate. The final price will still be based on the bidding." Kevin Lin's face was full of joy. Over a hundred million, it was worth bragging about. How should the news be written?
Leizhou.
Zaro looked at the screen proudly. "You want to fight with me?!"
That's right, he was the one who offered 100 million. He didn't even notice the ugly expression on his agent's face and the low pressure in the room. At this moment, he even wanted to sing a song.
The little assistant was shivering at the side.
However, before Zaro could be happy for more than three seconds, the numbers on the screen changed again —
110 million!
Zaro looked at the numbers and sneered. He said disdainfully, "Trash, that's all you've got!"
As he spoke, his finger quickly clicked on a button on the screen. He was so fast that his agent couldn't stop him in time.
150 million!
Zaro directly increased the bid by 40 million!
Seeing this bid, the Internet exploded again.
Although it was an open online auction, it was still unclear who had made the bid. Even so, the sudden increase of 40 million and the high price of 150 million shocked many people.
Yanzhou, Qi 'an City, Silver Wing Tower.
Duan Qianji frowned as she looked at the screen. The previous bid of 110 million had been her, but she hadn't expected the other party to jump to 150 million. Who was this big shot?
No matter who it was, this stance seemed to be telling all the bidders not to fight with him. He was determined to get this tooth.
The price had already been raised so high. Should she continue bidding?
Duan Qianji hesitated.
Because no one was bidding at the moment, a 30-minute countdown popped up on the screen.
For a moment, only the ticking of the countdown could be heard in the office.
At 15 seconds, Duan Qianji made a decision. She opened her eyes, raised her hand, and prepared to raise the bid by 10 million to test the other party's motives.
However, before Duan Qianji could raise the bid, the countdown suddenly disappeared. The highest bid had jumped from 150 million to 200 million.
200 million!
Duan Qianji was stunned. She sat up straight and leaned closer to the screen, as if she wanted to see who was behind this number.
There was still someone else?
Other than the previous bid of 150 million, there was actually someone else who directly increased the bid by 50 million, bidding 200 million!
The assistant behind Duan Qianji covered her gaping mouth with her hand. The people in the entertainment companies had an estimate of every celebrity's status and net worth. And given Fang Zhao's current status in the industry, in theory, he shouldn't have been able to command such a high price. A high price of 200 million was a losing deal.
The onlookers online were also dumbfounded.
"Two... 200 million!"
"Crazy! This bunch of people are crazy! "
"Who said yesterday that a live broadcast of eating chili would exceed 100 million? Come out! "
The old masters of the auction house were also at a loss. Anything below 100 million was actually within a reasonable range, but anything over 100 million was really not worth it.
Could it be that the bidders hadn't seen the analysis article they had provided?
That shouldn't be the case. Even if they hadn't seen it, someone who could afford such a high price would surely have a consultant by their side, right?
They couldn't understand. They really couldn't understand.
At the same time, Zaro, who had seen the bid, stood up abruptly. His chair slid across the floor with an ear-piercing sound.
The f * ck, there was actually someone even more awesome than him!
How could he … tolerate this?!
Zaro was enraged.
Seeing Zaro in this state, his agent quickly stepped forward to stop him. "Senior Master, calm down!!"
Zaro's agent yelled and pulled back Zaro's hand, which had been raised to tap on the screen. Unfortunately, he only managed to pull back one hand and not the other.
When the bid was raised, Zaro's agent turned his head to look at the screen. At that moment, he felt his vision go black.
Wastrel!
On the screen, the highest bid had risen from 200 million to 250 million. Zaro had just raised the bid by 50 million.
Zaro still had a taunting grin on his face as he faced the screen. "Let's see how you compete with me! Come on! "
Zaro's agent felt like hitting someone when he heard this.
A few assistants had already seen that the situation wasn't looking good and had hidden far away.
Zaro's agent's face was contorted. His facial features were misaligned, his cheeks were twitching, his chest was rising and falling rapidly, and his nostrils looked like they were about to spit fire.
Who was he raising funds all over the place for?!
With great difficulty, he had managed to pull in over a billion and had been hoping to bid for something useful. When the time came, he would be able to get a piece of land on planet Baiji. But now, Zaro had actually wasted over 200 million on a beast tooth!
What if he couldn't get it later on?!
I've worked so hard to raise funds and prepare materials. Who was it for? Ah? Who the f * ck am I doing it for?! Zaro's agent roared in his heart.
However, when he saw the rising number on the screen, his anger instantly dropped by half. His rage turned into relief.
Zaro's bid of 250 million had only given people time to take a screenshot before it rapidly rose to 300 million.
Zaro: "!!"
Seeing Zaro's enraged expression, Zaro's agent wouldn't let him make another move. He yelled at the assistants that had retreated, "All of you, come over here!"
The few of them joined forces to prevent Zaro from making another foolish move.
No one made a bid. The bid displayed 300 million, and the countdown began.
Many people had mixed feelings as they watched the seconds tick by. When the countdown ended, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
Finally, there were no more bids!
Finally, the first item of the auction, the beast tooth with music scores engraved on it, was sold for the high price of 300 million.
Kevin Lin once again let out a donkey's bray.
Fang Zhao also felt that it was inconceivable. This price had indeed far exceeded his estimation. Who exactly had bid for it?
According to the Inter-planetary Fund's rules, only after all the items had been auctioned off would the names of the bidders be announced. Right now, it was still impossible to know who had bid for it. There were only discussions and guesses online, and there wasn't any useful information.
Looking at the final price, Bie Liao gasped and choked on his own saliva. He hurriedly grabbed a cup and gulped down a few mouthfuls of tea to calm himself.
F * ck!
F * ck, f * ck, f * ck!
300 million!
One-tenth of that was 30 million!
How much equipment could that buy!
At this moment, Bie Liao clearly understood that their outpost had struck gold!
He just didn't know if the senior officer who had approved his application was regretting it now.
Who cares, Bie Liao thought to himself, rubbing his hands together. Anyway, this was 30 million, not a single cent less! This was all their outpost's military expenses!
The outpost personnel were happy, but there were also some people whose faces turned green when they saw the final price.
Some businessmen who had been prepared to suck up to planet Baiji's generals during this auction saw the final price of the first item and knew that this time, they would really have to go all out.
Yes, their target was the generals at the back. They really wouldn't be interested in a small celebrity's item.
But! If the first item was sold at such a high price, how much more would they have to bid to get it?
