Chapter 74 Winning the Championship
The first item auctioned was a rare antique. Such items usually don't generate much buzz and were quickly snapped up by an elderly-voiced owner.
If a customer wants to place an order, they simply need to say the amount to the machine.
Xi Yu patiently waited for the third item to be auctioned, which was the cloud crystal stone that she was determined to acquire.
Looking at the crystal on the display stand that shimmered with a faint light, a burning desire rose within her.
"Look, this is a gemstone mined from the Yinchuan Ice Vein! There's only one of its kind in the world!" Zhu Qi emphasized as he introduced it to all the guests.
"This gem is smooth and translucent. If strung on a diamond necklace, it would be the most beautiful pendant! It would also be of great value as a collector's item! This mysterious gem cannot be cut by any method; it is even harder than a diamond!"
Xi Yu was speechless. What did this guy think the precious cloud crystal was?!
"Bidding begins now! The starting price is one million yuan!" Zhu Qi rang the alarm bell, announcing the start of the bidding.
Although Zhu Qi had just said some nice things, most people weren't interested in such a gem that could only be used to please women, and only a few people made an offer.
The price had been raised to five million, and it seemed like it was about to be settled, when Xi Yu calmly made her offer.
"Ten million."
Zhu Qi immediately changed the price displayed on the screen to the latest high price of ten million yuan.
The black dog swallowed hard, silently marveling at the woman's spending power. Luckily, they had two vials of the potion up for auction, which they estimated could fetch around 50 million. Spending 10 million on a gem was still within their means.
"Ten million, is there anyone willing to offer a higher price?" Zhu Qi asked.
"Twenty million!"
Suddenly, a charming female voice raised the price by double!
Xi Yu frowned slightly, but before she could speak, another more mature female voice offered a price.
"thirty million!!"
Black Dog gasped. A seemingly useless gem had been sold for thirty million? That's insane!
But the craziness continued. The two female voices that had just made the offer seemed to be competing with each other, each adding a thousand, and the price was raised to a staggering one hundred million!
A commotion began to rise in the venue, as it was rare to see someone bid so recklessly, especially for a single gemstone.
The voice that offered 100 million was that of a charming woman. Xi Yu vaguely recognized the voice and had a hunch who the woman was.
The woman let out a proud hum, seemingly pleased that she had eliminated a rival.
"One hundred million coins at a time..."
"One hundred million coins twice..."
"One hundred million coins..."
Before Zhu Qi officially rang the bell, Xi Yu placed another bid.
"Two hundred million."
The voice was still soft and gentle, but as soon as it was uttered, the entire venue fell silent.
The black dog couldn't catch his breath and almost choked to death! He thought his boss was giving up because he was keeping quiet, but little did he know that he was actually waiting for the right moment to strike!
Two hundred million?! Where did they get two hundred million to buy a single gemstone?!
The fat man and the madman were instantly petrified and speechless.
"Two hundred million coins!! Is anyone else offering a higher price?" Zhu Qi's voice was loud, and one could imagine his excitement.
Xi Yu's asking price of 200 million was so astonishing that the other two women did not continue to bid, and she naturally won the crystal she had been dreaming of.
