Chapter 203: Impulsive Spending

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He Run was like a deflated ball once he saw what happened. Only despair and unwillingness were left on his face.

The rest of the audience members were also dumbfounded when they saw the ticket printed out.

He could spend ¥10,000,000 so easily. Wu Mo’s financial resources were even more impressive than that of most company CEOs.

He had a total of nearly ¥15,000,000 in savings in one bank card. Everyone present felt that they would not be able to gather so much money in a short time.

The shock that Wu Mo had brought to them was truly too massive. In the entire capital, those who could achieve the same as him were basically people they looked up to—the small group at the top of the pyramid.

“Thank you, Sir, for your support of Treasure Trove Pavilion.” The petite maid bowed to Wu Mo and spoke with a smile.

Wu Mo waved his hand, and the two beautiful maids immediately turned and left.

“I’m really getting away with it this time. I spent nearly ¥15,000,000 in an hour. I won’t be visiting such places again.”

Touching the smooth surface of his silver ring, Wu Mo’s heart ached.

There was basically no place in the Research Department that required him to spend money. He had finally gotten used to that feeling, but the moment he stepped into Treasure Trove Pavilion, he almost ran out of money.

Even though the Amethyst Boots were something he liked, he still could not afford to buy them at such a high price.

He had been a little impulsive with his spending.

As Wu Mo thought about it, he sighed and subconsciously raised his head to look around. He realized that everyone around him was looking at him, and their eyes were filled with fear.

“Uh… It seems I’ve been misunderstood again.”

Wu Mo turned around and looked at the platform.

The commotion in his surroundings gradually died down as the 49th auction was still in progress on stage.

The 49th exhibit was a small copper furnace.

Its exterior was exquisitely decorated with a golden dragon carved on the surface. The dragon’s whiskers and claws were completely visible. Meanwhile, the golden dragon’s eyes were wide open, and it had a ferocious look on its face. Its domineering aura permeated the entire place as if it was about to rush out of the furnace.

The furnace was also covered in cloud patterns small. It had small handles, and there were ten fire vents on its surface. Although it was small, it had all the essentials!

It was obvious that this furnace had been specially prepared for high-level blacksmiths.

While the space inside the furnace was not large, the upper limit of its temperature was close to 3,000 degrees. Among all the manmade cauldrons that Wu Mo had seen, it was considered very good.

“This is the Golden Dragon Cloud Cauldron. It has a maximum temperature of 2,950 degrees, and it can adjust its temperature up to 20 degrees. Its 10 fire vents ensure precise control of the temperature inside the furnace. It has all the necessary functions.”

Elder Yao Shan carried the copper furnace onto the platform and introduced it with a smile.

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Wu Mo, who was not far away. He seemed to be asking if there were still any bids for the cauldron this time.

With his sharp eyes, Yao Shan could tell that the young man who had spent almost ¥15,000,000 was definitely the son of a general in the mayor’s faction.

He could tell that the young man was a blacksmith based on his preferences. In that case, a good cauldron would be immensely attractive to every blacksmith.

Therefore, Yao Shan believed that the mysterious young man would continue to participate in the auction.

However, his guess was destined to fail, because Wu Mo’s need for the furnace had been reduced to the minimum.

The system’s own forging space was equipped with a Premium-grade furnace. Not only did it have 14 fire ports that could be controlled, but the temperature threshold could also be adjusted accurately to about 10 degrees.

Most importantly, the furnace could be upgraded in the future. As long as he could break through to the realm of a six-star blacksmith, he would definitely be able to upgrade it to Epic grade.

Once that happened, there would not be many manmade cauldrons in the entire capital city that could achieve an equally powerful effect.

Moreover, there was a two-meter-tall furnace in the Interspatial Ring on his finger that could melt the materials. This already satisfied his needs.

However, when the other blacksmiths saw the Golden Dragon Cloud Cauldron on stage, their eyes almost popped out. Good furnaces were very rare even in the capital.

A handcrafted furnace would require powerful forging skills. Unless one had reached seven stars, it would be difficult to complete.

Therefore, most of the blacksmiths lacked a furnace of excellent quality.

As a result, the many blacksmiths in the audience were waiting for Elder Yao Shan to begin the bid. Those who wanted to buy the furnace would definitely cause a bloodbath during the auction.

With so many people in need, the high-quality furnace would definitely be able to sell for a higher price than usual.

“The 49th item, the Golden Dragon Cloud Cauldron. will start at ¥200,000.”

Elder Yao Shan saw that everyone was getting impatient, so he quickly picked up the small gavel and hit it.

The next second, the blacksmiths fought to be the first to bid.

Right then, the He family patriarch, He Run, finally regained some of his spirit.

The grandfather and grandson from the Qin family, who were sitting in the first row, remained silent. It appeared that they did not think highly of this Premium-grade furnace.

“I bid ¥6,000,000!” the old man in plain clothes shouted.

However, less than five seconds after he finished speaking, someone else placed a higher bid.

Being part of the blacksmiths’ livelihood, the furnace had a stronger audience than the previous auction items.

Among those bidding, some were bosses of companies who wanted to use this Premium-grade furnace as their company’s equipment to increase their production.

Their voices rose and fell, while Wu Mo sat quietly in his original position. He only wanted to see what the last item would be.

Going off the current starting price, the final item’s starting price would definitely exceed ¥6,000,000.

As for whether it was equipment or materials, he had no idea.

The audience members who had no business bidding were also waiting for the final moment to come in hopes of gaining some knowledge.

In the blink of an eye, a few minutes had passed. At this point, the price of the cauldron had already reached the ¥8,000,000 mark.

There were only three to five familiar faces left who could still participate in the bidding.

“I’m afraid the price of this high-quality furnace will exceed ¥10,000,000.”

Wu Mo’s eyes drooped slightly as he silently made an estimate in his heart.

The price of a good furnace was indeed not low, but if it was placed in the auction house, it could reach a higher price. Treasure Trove Pavilion’s plan was really good.

With only one and a half minutes left, the price of the Premium-grade furnace exceeded ¥10,000,000 as Wu Mo had expected.

The Qin family did not intend on participating, so the present highest bidder was He Run, the representative of the He family.

At this moment, He Run was like a mad dog protecting its food, staring with blood-red eyes. If anyone dared to step forward and snatch his “food,” he would tear off that person’s flesh.

He still had that confident look on his face from earlier.

The one who had caused him to have such a mental breakdown was Wu Mo since Wu Mo had attacked twice to snatch his treasure.
