Chapter 788 Ignoring The Price
Lu Yu could not help but feel a little excited when he heard Tang Lina’s words.
“Would I really get reimbursed for everything I bid for there?”
Tang Lina nodded with a smile. “Of course, you’ve helped the Star Science Chamber of Commerce wipe out our enemies. This is a small token of my appreciation.”
“Don’t worry. How can the Star Science Chamber of Commerce be short of money? You can spend as much as you want, don’t worry.”
Lu Yu nodded with a smile and accepted this card.
“We’ll be leaving now. I’ll contact you when I come back.”
Lu Yu waved at Tang Lina and got into the car.
Tang Lina also looked at Lu Yu’s back. After waving goodbye, she turned around and walked back to the company to continue her work.
The flying car rose, and the Central City could be taken in at a glance.
Soon, the car flew out and headed toward Star Ocean City.
Lu Yu and Han Xuefei chatted in the car, looking at the scenery outside as time passed quickly.
Soon, Lu Yu could see the sea in the distance and the outline of Star Ocean City. The densely packed, tall buildings looked like spikes in the distance.
“We’re here. I’ve set our destination, so we’ll land directly at the entrance of Star Ocean Theater, where the auction is held.”
The flying car quickly hovered above the theater.
Lu Yu looked down and saw the outline of the theater. The overall architectural style was like a stadium, but the design outside was more artistic than anything.
The parking lot next to the entrance was filled with all kinds of luxury cars, and it was crowded. It seemed that there were a lot of people here.
Lu Yu and Han Xuefei walked toward the entrance.
“Sir, Madam, the number of people who can enter this auction is limited. You can only enter after purchasing a ticket.”
The security guard at the door stopped Lu Yu and took out a point-of-sale machine.
“If you didn’t buy the tickets online, you can swipe your card here.”
Lu Yu took out his bank card. It was just an entrance ticket, so it was not particularly expensive.
After swiping the card, Lu Yu brought Han Xuefei in.
There were almost no empty seats in the hall, which was crowded and packed. Based on their appearance, the people sitting here were from the upper echelons of society; any clothing they wore was worth millions.
All kinds of gold, silver, and jewelry matched the luxurious decorations on them.
The emcee walked onto the stage, looked at the crowd, and bowed deeply at that moment.
“Welcome, everyone. Today, the second round of the auction officially begins!”
“Let’s get straight into it. The first auction item will be up now!”
A beautiful woman pushed a small cart over.
“The first auction item is already something of substance. This is a skill tablet of Epic grade!”
“An Epic skill tablet is extremely rare; learning this skill can instantly increase a person’s overall strength, allowing a cultivator’s strength to grow rapidly!”
“I believe none of you will miss this opportunity to increase your strength.”
“This skill is called the Dragon Elephant Earth-Shaking Fist. With a single punch, the power can destroy mountains and rivers, shocking all your enemies!”
At that moment, everyone was excited and enthusiastic about the first item.
“Wow, did they really start with such an explosive thing right off the bat?”
“Great, that’s great. I want this skill, especially when my son is an excellent boxer. It’s a perfect match!”
“Haha, I won’t let go of an Epic skill. Let’s fight for it!”
“This skill is really quite decent. I want it too.”
Everyone below the stage expressed their willingness to get this skill tablet.
At this moment, the host shouted, “The starting price is 50 million!!!”
This announcement made everyone jolt.
“50 million for a skill tablet. This starting price is fine. I bid 70 million!”
“Dream on. I’ll raise it to 100 million! I’ll put in my company’s entire quarter’s income. Come on!”
“I’ll raise it to 110 million.”
“I’ll add another 10 million.”
“I’ll follow up with another…”
The bidding below the stage was intense, and no one gave in to anyone else. Everyone was determined to get this skill tablet.
“I bid 200 million!”
Soon, the price of this skill tablet was raised to 200 million, a hefty price.
200 million was something many top entrepreneurs could afford. After all, building a private airport costs far more than that.
Moreover, this was a rare Epic skill tablet, so they would naturally not be stingy.
The price continued to rise. Han Xuefei couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you going to bid?”
“Of course I will. I’ll buy everything I can. I don’t have to save money for the Qin family.”
At that moment, the shouting below the stage slowed down.
The host picked up the microphone and asked, “230 million going once, 230 million going twice!”
At this moment, Lu Yu raised the sign at his seat and said, “I’ll follow.”
“Alright, someone has bid 240 million. Is there anyone else who wants to follow?”
For a moment, everyone went silent and did not continue raising their bids.
Many of them turned to look at Lu Yu. When they saw this young and unfamiliar face, they were weirded out. Did this person have so much money?
“I’m taking it! I’ll bid 250 million!”
A wealthy heir in a white suit raised his sign. He was a professional boxer, and this skill was all too important to him!
“It looks like the price is still going up. Amazing.”
“Damn, are we going for 300 million?”
“Impossible; that would simply be wasteful!”
“Isn’t it better to invest that 300 million than to buy a skill?”
“All of you are businessmen through and through. Taking this skill and nurturing a strong bodyguard for the family will also help the business flourish.”
“It looks like the limit will be at 250 million…”
Suddenly, Lu Yu raised his sign again. He was unhappy that someone tried to outbid him.
“300 million!”
As soon as he said that, everyone turned around and looked at Lu Yu with wide eyes.
“Is this person crazy? To offer such a price?”
“This is going to be a big loss!”
“What a loss. Simple wasteful. Why would he spend so much money to buy a skill? It’s not profitable in the slightest.”
“That’s right. This skill boasts of being strong, but it’s different in practice.”
“It’s a loss for this young man. 300 million is a bit too much for this skill tablet.”
At this moment, the emcee looked at Lu Yu. He did not believe Lu Yu had that much money, so he reminded him, “If you can’t pay after bidding, you have to pay a 10% penalty.”
Hearing this, Lu Yu was displeased.
“Stop your nonsense. I’ll pay directly!”
Seeing Lu Yu’s straightforwardness, everyone was dumbfounded.
