As the ancients said, never offend a woman, no matter who else you may offend.
Especially beautiful women
Lin Xi didn't make a bid because Du Ziteng was already dead.
Du Ziteng bought the shiny Pokémon at an outrageously high price, just to please a beautiful woman.
The auction begins for the second treasured item.
This item
It is super royal jelly produced by champion-level insectoid creatures, and is said to have effects such as beautifying the skin and prolonging life.
In any case, it was a great treasure to everyone present.
This prompted everyone to immediately start bidding.
Faced with such immense temptation, even the voices from upstairs failed to have a deterrent effect.
This prompted wealthy individuals, though not of high social standing, to eagerly bid, showing no respect whatsoever to the powerful and influential.
Ultimately, this jar of royal jelly was auctioned off to a wealthy businessman for a staggering 1.1 billion yuan.
Lin Xi was speechless. This thing was worth 11 billion?
Before the auction ended, the wealthy man sneaked out through the back door.
Clearly, they were afraid it would be stolen by some envious people.
At that time, you will lose both your money and your people.
"The item being auctioned is a stone slab,"
The beautiful auctioneer's tone was somewhat serious, though she didn't know what it meant...
"According to expert exploration, the history of this stone slab is almost equivalent to that of the universe, and it also contains enormous power."
"This is absolutely an amazing discovery!"
"Also, everyone, take a close look at the patterns on this stone slab."
"That's right, these are the runes that represent Dragon-type Pokémon."
"The purpose of this stone slab is still unknown, but it is definitely a peerless treasure."
"It even relates to the secrets of the origin of Dragon-type Pokémon!"
Listening to the auctioneer's introduction, Lin Xi immediately sensed something was wrong.
Garchomp, Dragonair's Luxury Ball is itching to get going!
Even when they were in the Milky Way, they showed a hint of interest.
Through the Eye of Detection, Lin Xi couldn't suppress a look of shock.
This stone tablet is actually the Dragon Tablet of Arceus, the creator god!
The auctioneer's words actually came true.
This item is one of the key items related to creation, that is, the origin of Dragon-type Pokémon.
Sensing the terrifying dragon-attribute power within the Creation Stone Tablet, and with the aid of his Detective Eye, Lin Xi knew that the tablet was definitely genuine.
One of the sixteen slabs of alpaca
They actually appeared here!
Moreover, it was auctioned off on the black market as an ancient, unknown item!
Lin Xi decided to acquire this item at all costs.
Lin Xi secretly glanced at the expressions of the people around her.
It turns out that others don't seem to know the true value of the Dragon Slate. That makes sense, since how many people know about things related to the creator god alpaca?
If it weren't for him
Even the world's most outstanding archaeologists
They probably couldn't guess the origin of the stone slab.
Aside from the temple families, those people should know.
Lin Xi remained outwardly calm, but secretly he was already preparing to exert his strength and buy the Dragon Slab.
"The starting price for the stone slab is 300 million, and each bid will be no less than 20 million."
The beautiful auctioneer was full of confidence in the value of the stone slab.
There's no shortage of idle, bored people among the wealthy.
Using 300 million Elf Coins to highlight the preciousness of this stone slab will inevitably attract the interest of some important figures.
A middle-aged man with a receding hairline in the hall tentatively shouted, "Three hundred million!"
A few scattered bids echoed at the black market auction; after all, everyone knew this final, spectacular auction wasn't meant for them.
The auctioneers were still hoping that the truly wealthy people in the private rooms would make the bids.
Now, when they bid, they're just making an appearance in front of everyone and showcasing their wealth.
Of course, in the black market, no one inflates their bids; everyone estimates their own worth when submitting their bids.
After all, if you accidentally bid successfully, you'd have to buy the item even if it meant going bankrupt.
Lin Xi didn't move; he wanted to see what the show was like, to see if anyone knew anything about this.
Chapter 210 Dimensionality Reduction Strike
"Four hundred million"
By this time, the people in the hall were all bark and no bite; they barely dared to shout anymore.
Seeing this situation, a man upstairs finally spoke up in extreme impatience.
"Five hundred million!" It seemed like a signal, emanating from the man upstairs.
No one spoke again from the bottom of the hall.
Instead, the people upstairs who had initially remained silent began to place bids, clearly indicating that many were interested in the stone slab.
In the eyes of everyone in the hall
The owner of this stone slab will ultimately be chosen from among these people.
Sure enough, the price of the stone quickly reached 700 million, and it's still being bid on.
This made everyone in the hall sigh once again, realizing that the people in the private rooms were truly different.
First there was the纨绔 (playboy) Du Ziteng's 800 million, and now he completely disregards money.
This truly showed these self-proclaimed wealthy individuals what it meant to spend money like water.
The competition has reached a fever pitch.
Lin Xi finally made her bid, and the first price she quoted was a surprisingly high one: "Eleven billion!"
Who is this?
Lin Xi's willingness to compete with the group in the private room upstairs completely drew everyone's attention.
At this moment, no one dared to treat Lin Xi as the legendary easy target.
This doesn't look like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
He should be a direct descendant of a large family.
"Why do I have no recollection of this boy? I wonder if we could have a conversation and gain some benefit?"
For these upper-class individuals, the most important thing is still profit.
The emergence of a new power clearly represents both an opportunity and a reshuffling of existing power structures.
For some smaller factions, Lin Xi's appearance could be an opportunity or a disaster.
Lin Xi, with his deep pockets and immense wealth, was seen by them as a newly emerging force.
Or the direct descendants of those super-powerful families.
Lin Xi's intervention caused the powerful figures in the private rooms above to pause for a moment.
They shared similar doubts: Did Lin Xi's appearance signify something?
The truly powerful and wealthy are always far more suspicious than ordinary people.
An unfamiliar force is enough to warrant their serious attention.
Amidst the intense, questioning, and ill-intentioned gazes of the crowd, Lin Xi remained calm and composed.
Just kidding, the heir of the Lin family, the most powerful family in another world, would be intimidated?
Regardless of what people speculated about Lin Xi's background
