章節 1714: Chapter 167: Bidding for 600,000 (Seeking Subscriptions)_1
Xu Xiaoyan asked, "Gu Yue, is the item on the display that important to you? It looks just like an ordinary stone!"
Ye Xinglan also nodded, "Mhm, even the strong figures at the auction couldn't identify it; it's probably just a gimmick."
Xu Lizhi chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, Gu Yue, don't be fooled. That thing is just a scam to get your money!"
At those words, Gu Yue simply smiled faintly, "It's alright, I just want it as a collectible!"
The usually silent Xie Xie looked at Gu Yue with a somewhat complex gaze...
Because he could also feel that within the stone on the display, it was as if there was a giant dragon roaring...
And the reason Gu Yue's complexion turned so poor was probably closely related to it...
As they were discussing, the female auctioneer mustered a smile, "So... the starting bid for this auction item is five hundred thousand, let the bidding start!"
After her words fell, not a single bidder called out a price, but rather, a buzz of discussion started...
"Tsk, this thing is useless and it's still priced at five hundred thousand! What for? Is the auction treating us with disdain?"
"Exactly, to think they would even bring such an item to auction, no one will play the fool!"
"Just a broken stone, it's going to be a pass. Quickly move on to the next item!"
"Only an idiot would buy it, hmph! The auction is really not taking us seriously anymore!"
Hearing these words, the female auctioneer's expression turned quite ugly...
It was obvious that at this rate, the auction item was going to be passed over...
However, it seemed in consideration of the auction, one of the patrons casually said, "Five hundred and ten thousand!"
Seeing this, the auctioneer finally took a breath of relief, "Bidder number fifty-six bids five hundred and ten thousand, does anyone else want to bid?"
Although the price was somewhat lower than expected, as long as it wasn't passed over, it was enough!
"Six hundred thousand for the first time, six hundred thousand for the second time..."
Just as she was about to finish, Gu Yue raised her hand, "Six hundred thousand!"
The auctioneer's face brightened immediately and she quickly announced, "Bidder number sixty-four bids six hundred thousand!"
"Six hundred thousand once, six hundred thousand twice, six hundred thousand three times, sold!!"
"Congratulations to guest number sixty-four for purchasing this mysterious stone for six hundred thousand!"
The other bidders, upon seeing this, couldn't help but snort in disdain...
"What a foolish kid, bidding six hundred thousand for such a worthless stone!"
"Looking at them, they must be descendants of some clan or family, spending six hundred thousand on such rubbish; their brains must be waterlogged!"
"Tch, you can tell from the auctioneer's face that she's still dissatisfied with the price, but having someone willing to bid on a broken stone gives the auction house face!"
Xie Xie clicked his tongue, "Geez, Gu Yue, you actually spent six hundred thousand on that broken stone! I... I feel the pain just by watching."
Xu Xiaoyan teased, "Why are you in pain? It's not your money being spent, and besides... if anyone should feel the pain, it should be Gu Yue herself."
Xu Lizhi murmured, "But... the way the others just looked at Gu Yue, it was as if they saw a sucker."
Ye Xinglan waved her hand and said, "Lizhi, you can't say that. That stone can block Soul Power perception, it surely can't be that simple. For Gu Yue, it's not bad to have it as a collectible."
Of course, if it were her, she definitely wouldn't spend six hundred thousand on such a broken stone!
In response to this, Gu Yue wasn't annoyed, but felt fortunate to have purchased it for a lower price...
She then activated her communicator, and once Tang Wulin answered, she said, "Wulin, I really want something, it might need about six hundred thousand, can you come over sooner?"
And on the other side, Tang Wulin naturally gave a firm reply, "No problem!"
These 600,000 were almost all he was worth!
But for some reason, driven by his trust in Gu Yue, he didn't refuse!
Of course, the most important thing was that he also really wanted to know what Gu Yue had spent so much money on!
Gu Yue's complexion had a few more hints of rosiness, "Thank you."
Xie Xie looked at Gu Yue with complicated feelings in his eyes and clapped, "One minute, and the man spent 600,000 for me! I've learned, I've learned!"
...
Elsewhere, once the dishes were all served, Mu Xi hugged the menu, staring pitifully at Tang Wulin and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the dishes are all ready!"
Made awkward by that gaze, Tang Wulin tried to speak, "Well... Sister Mu Xi, why don't you sit down and have a meal too?"
Little did he know that she was waiting for that very invitation, and without any politeness, she sat down and patted Tang Wulin's shoulder, "Wulin brother is indeed the nicest to me! I haven't cherished you in vain before!"
Tang Wulin forced a smile, "Heh... hehe."
Cherished him?
He remembered being mocked the first time he met Mu Xi...
Mu Chen covered his mouth to cough, "Mu Xi, mind your surroundings!"
His daughter's personality was becoming more and more cheerful!
Mu Xi pouted, "Tsk... stingy, if it weren't for Wulin brother's words just now, I probably would have had to stand and watch you all eat, right?"
Mu Chen glared at her fiercely before saying to Tang Wulin, "Wulin, to tell you the truth, I am very pleased. Due to certain events a while back, I had to leave Shrek City and couldn't teach you myself."
"But you haven't disappointed me, reaching level 6 blacksmith at such a young age."
Tang Wulin scratched his head and said modestly, "You flatter me. I was able to break through to a level 6 blacksmith so quickly thanks to the help of both teachers!"
By his side, Mu Xi was stunned, exclaiming in surprise, "Eh? Eh? Eh?? Wulin brother, you can't really have reached level 6 blacksmith!"
Immediately after, she looked at the badge on Tang Wulin's chest...
And sure enough, the level 6 blacksmith badge was emitting a brilliant glow...
After seeing it clearly, she said with a bitter face, "How could this be... you were only a level 2 blacksmith back then, and in the blink of an eye, you've left me so far behind!"
Tang Wulin blinked, "Sister Mu Xi, don't make such a sorrowful face, haven't you also reached level 4 blacksmith?"
At these words, Mu Xi's face darkened, "Are you suggesting that you're mocking me?"
After so much time, she had only broken through from level 3 to level 4 blacksmith, while Tang Wulin had leaped to level 6 blacksmith!
The gap between them was painfully obvious...
Mu Chen, whose speech was interrupted by Mu Xi again, eventually opened his mouth but swallowed his words...
He sighed inwardly, "Ah, it's all because I was too indulgent with Mu Xi."
But Tang Wulin seemed to have remembered something and stared intently at Mang Tian, "Teacher Mang Tian, I have a question for you!"
Seeing the expression on his face, Mang Tian guessed what it was about immediately and sighed, "You want to ask about your parents, right?"
Tang Wulin said eagerly, "Yes, now that I'm a level 6 blacksmith, can you tell me where my parents are?"
Mang Tian shook his head, "I'm sorry, Wulin, the time is not right, I can't tell you!"
