"What the f*ck! That kid over there just earned a crapload of money! I'm so jealous right now!"
"Ain't that right? Two thousand Spiritual Stones is equivalent to the savings of a hundred-year-old ancient faction! All that kid does is spend eight billion to beat all of them! His luck is amazing!"
"Not just luck! You have to know that none of us here possess the skill to unlock that treasure chest even if we can get our hands on it! A golden opportunity like that will only be reserved for people that come prepared! The focus here should be the way that kid unlocked that treasure chest!"
"You are right. Hundreds of people have tried to unlock that treasure chest but he is the only one that manages to unlock it successfully! I have to give him that!"
...
While everyone was staring at Chen Xiaobei in an impressive and jealous manner, Chen Xiaobei put on a smile and said, "Auctioneer, I have managed to unlock the treasure chest. According to the deal that we just made, please announce that I have bought this treasure chest!"
"This…"
Gulped, the auctioneer looked at Damien unconsciously.
"Why are you looking at me? Everyone here is powerful and influential people. And they are our witnesses as well! There's no way that I will break my promise in front of everyone! Just announce it!"
Speaking in a casual manner, it seemed like Damien did not really care about the two thousand pieces of Spiritual Stones. Upon seeing that, the crowd could not help but compliment Damien for being a gentleman. Even Chen Xiaobei changed the way he looked at Damien. He felt like this person was an honest man. He would definitely get to know him better if he was given the chance.
At that moment, only the follower of the Blood Descendant knew that the reason Damien acted like a gentleman was not because he did not care about the two thousand pieces of Spiritual Stones. To Damien, Chen Xiaobei was just a piece of walking dead meat. All those Spiritual Stones would be kept by Chen Xiaobei temporarily.
"Okay! Since you guys can stick to the deal, I hereby announce that the second item is sold at eight billion dollars! Sold!"
Once the hammer landed on the table, the deal was sealed. Earlier, the original owner of the treasure chest assigned Focker to help him to sell it to any potential buyers. That was why the owner would take the largest cut from the eight billion dollars and the remaining money would go into Focker's pocket.
Knowing that he could not evade the bill, Chen Xiaobei completed the transaction in an honest manner. Within the blink of an eye, eight billion dollars was deducted from his bank account. However, Chen Xiaobei did not regret his decision at all! Spending only eight billion dollars to buy something that cost around three hundred billion dollars was definitely the best decision that he had ever made in his life. And Spiritual Stones were the thing that Chen Xiaobei needed the most right now. As the saying goes, 'money is just a series of numbers'. And Spiritual Stones meant a lot to Chen Xiaobei.
It could increase his combat power and activate certain Spiritual Items to boost his overall strength! In other words, Chen Xiaobei's decision made him earn more than three hundred billion! That was definitely a moment to be remembered!
If he was given another opportunity like this, Chen Xiaobei would not hesitate to spend all his money on it even if the item cost eighty billion! After completing the transaction, the treasure chest was sent backstage. Immediately, Chen Xiaobei asked Hades to prepare a car to cover up what he was about to do. In the car, Chen Xiaobei kept the treasure chest and all the Spiritual Stones into his personal treasure chest.
The moment Chen Xiaobei returned to the auction hall, the crowd was still discussing the way Chen Xiaobei unlocked the treasure chest. Even Zhang Xiaoshen could not help but keep on asking Chen Xiaobei about it. All Chen Xiaobei told him was that it was his personal secret. Even if Chen Xiaobei explained to them, no one would believe in him as well. Other than the group members of Red Envelope Group, no one knew that he was given a Primordial Ancient Bug, Twelve Wing Golden Cicada by the Prime of Tongtian.
Earlier, Chen Xiaobei hid the Twelve Wings Golden Cicada beneath his palm. No one would believe that a bug could do what explosive and acid could do. The metal crunching sound that the crowd heard earlier was the sound of it eating through the treasure chest. Still, the little guy was still hiding in Chen Xiaobei's front pocket.
"I still want more! The Phoenix Rune Enigmatic Silver is damn hard to come by on this planet. Please give me more…"
Of course, it was speaking in Zoolingualism and its voice was extremely soft. Only Chen Xiaobei could hear it talking. The Phoenix Rune Enigmatic Silver that Twelve Wings Golden Cicada mentioned just now was the material that made the treasure chest. Chen Xiaobei's curiosity was piqued by it but this was not the right time to think about it. The third auctioned item was about to be presented in front of everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Next, we are going to send out the most epic item of the night! I believe that most of us here have been waiting for that item for a very long time! Let me present you with the ten-thousand-year-old Ambergris!"
The moment the auctioneer finished talking, two sexy bunny ladies brought out a tray that was made of pure gold with the Ambergris on it. Immediately, the crowd grew restless.
"Look! Look over there! It's the legendary item that can increase one's combat power by three thousand instantly! By consuming that item we could save ourselves by a few decades of time! That is just incredible!"
"Well, all you can do is think about it! Considering that it is some super rare item, do you really think you can afford it?!"
"Nope… I can't afford it… Definitely not…"
Soon, the crowd grew silent. Most of the people in the auction hall were not equipped with enough capital to purchase anything that was being auctioned tonight. At most they were just the audience with no right to comment on the item!
"It seems like everyone knows the benefit of consuming this piece of thousand-year-old Ambergris perfectly well! Let's get to the point right away! The starting bidding price of this piece of Ambergris is three thousand Spiritual Stones! Each bid that you make must not be less than ten Spiritual Stones! The bidding officially starts now!"
Immediately, no one dared to say a single word after the commencement. Taken aback, most of the people were taking in mouthfuls of breaths. Though they knew that this piece of Ambergris was not going to be cheap, none of them expected that it would be so expensive.
Three thousand Spiritual Stones was an obscene amount of wealth for regular factions. Not even an ancient faction like Tidal Faction could come up with so many Spiritual Stones! To put it bluntly, those underdeveloped countries would not be able to afford to buy this piece of Ambergris even if they emptied out their vaults!
*Cough*
*Cough*
"It seems like there is no one else can afford to buy this piece of Ambergris except for me! Where is the challenge? I can't believe that I managed to acquire such a rare piece of treasure in such an easy manner!"
"You want a challenge, right?!"
Immediately, a mocking voice could be heard from the back row.
"I bid 3,010 Spiritual Stones!"
