Next on the auction block were items that were of little consequence to Zhu Bufan.

Of course, it was also because Zhu Bufan had no intention of purchasing anything, so he wouldn't bid, except when Yuwen Cangxue started to bid, Zhu Bufan would chime in once or twice.

But even just once or twice caused Yuwen Cangxue to spend a lot more money.

This infuriated Yuwen Cangxue so much that she really wanted to barge into the VIP room 106 right away to beat up Zhu Bufan, but she couldn't. Even though her Yuwen Family was quite influential, Yuwen Cangxue didn't have the guts to cause trouble within the Huadu space.

The Huadu space might seem unremarkable on the surface, but!

The energy of this Huadu space was beyond the imagination of ordinary people; even those from first-rate families wouldn't dare to make a scene here, let alone their Yuwen Family, which was only a second-rate family.

Yuwen Cangxue, she swore, once the auction was over, she would definitely meet and teach this man who dared to compete with her Yuwen Cangxue a lesson. She decided she would give him a good punishment.

If possible, she would kill Zhu Bufan on the spot.

"Next up, the item we are going to auction is quite special, of course, I'm not just saying that on my own!" Zhou Xin said.

"And..." As soon as Zhou Xin had finished speaking, a disdainful noise arose from the crowd.

Because during the entire auction process up to that point, hadn't Zhou Xin always claimed that the item being auctioned was very special?

"It's true, I'm not lying to you. We don't know what this object is called. It's just a disc, and there are four needles within it, the needles are entirely golden-green, constantly emitting a bluish-green light. We've had many appraisers and checked many ancient books, but we still can't figure out what it is, that's why I said it's special!" Zhou Xin, seemingly sensing the dissatisfaction of the bidders, hastily explained.

"Oh…" However, as soon as Zhou Xin had finished speaking, a chorus of 'oh' sounded, clearly indicating that the crowd still didn't believe her.

"Alright! I won't explain any further, let's bring out the item!" Zhou Xin seemed somewhat embarrassed.

At this moment, Zhu Bufan was showing signs of restlessness.

Because Zhu Bufan already felt a strong connection and particularly intense eagerness, impatiently urging him to acquire that item immediately.

Zhu Bufan knew, the item being auctioned this time was the Divine Needle.

A disc with four needles inside it meant that these four needles were undoubtedly the Divine Needles that Zhu Bufan sought to collect.

As soon as Zhou Xin had finished speaking, Zhu Bufan knew that this disc was an item he must have.

"Zhu Bufan, what's wrong with you?" Dongfang Weimei, feeling the change in Zhu Bufan, immediately asked.

"I'm fine, but I might need to borrow money from you later, Miss Dongfang, if that's alright!" Zhu Bufan responded.

Dongfang Weimei was taken aback, but she instantly understood.

"You want to bid for this auction item?" Although Dongfang Weimei had pretty much guessed it, she still asked.

"Yes!" Zhu Bufan nodded.

"This item is very important to you!" Dongfang Weimei asked again, "Your restlessness is related to it, isn't it?"

Zhu Bufan continued to nod, offering no further explanation to Dongfang Weimei.

"Okay!" Dongfang Weimei didn't pursue further questions but readily agreed to lend money to Zhu Bufan.

"Thank you!"

"Yeah!"

The disc was quickly brought up; this time, the disc wasn't pushed out on a cart but was directly handed to Zhou Xin by a staff member.

Moreover, unlike the previous auctions, where they magnified the object for the bidders to carefully examine on a large screen, this time it was merely held by Zhou Xin standing in the center of the stage.

"Although we don't know the name of this disc, our appraisal confirms that it is a very ancient object, and its value is extraordinarily high. We can't make sense of it, so we put it up for auction, hoping that someone destined will recognize and make good use of it!"

Zhou Xin said.

As soon as Zhou Xin had spoken, a wave of scornful noises arose from the surroundings.

"An item you don't know the name of is being auctioned? That's clearly trying to dupe us! This time, I won't bid!"

"Right! You don't know the name, yet you claim it's very valuable, that's clearly a big trap!"

"Exactly, exactly, whoever bids is a fool!"

...

The surroundings were buzzing!

Zhou Xin heard the noisy chatter and felt quite embarrassed.

Actually, she was also perplexed; the object was just a disc that looked like a clock. Where did it look valuable?

If it were her, Zhou Xin would honestly not bid either, but she had been instructed to sell it, and as an auctioneer, she had no choice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our Huadu space's auctions have never cheated anyone. Even though we don't know the name of this item, it's definitely a great treasure that hasn't met its destined owner yet. Alright, the bidding for this item will start now! Starting price: ten million, each bid increment must be at least one hundred thousand!"

Zhou Xin cleared her throat as she spoke.

Why did she clear her throat? Because she herself didn't feel confident; an unknown item was starting at ten million, and each increase in the bid was not to be less than one hundred thousand.

What concept was this? This was clearly swindling money!

And indeed!

"What? The starting bid for this item is ten million? And each bid must increase by no less than one hundred thousand?" Someone immediately started to raise objections, "Isn't this called swindling money?"

"Yes, it's clearly extortion, isn't it?"

"It's just too crooked! Really, I'm so disappointed!"

...

For a moment, not a single person came forward to bid.

Zhu Bufan also didn't bid.

Zhou Xin looked puzzledly at Zhu Bufan, his lips moving as if preparing to ask something, but ultimately he didn't say it.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Weimei just smiled:

"The reason he hasn't put in a bid is because the item is too unpopular, and there's probably something tricky about it!"

Zhou Xin suddenly realized something and had a moment of enlightenment.

Zhou Xin, seeing that she had set the price but not a single person was bidding, was extremely embarrassed and, of course, a bit worried.

Because, as an auction host, failing to sell an item could mean a commission loss or even a penalty.

So she was quite concerned.

"I bid ten million..." Just as Zhou Xin, the host, was worrying, a sudden voice rang out.
