Pokémon: Master System.

Xia Yu's pupils dilated when he saw the black stone.

He never expected to see something like this at this auction.

【Dark Stone】: The form Zekrom took after his physical body was destroyed. It is said that it awaits the arrival of a hero.

(You can go to the top of the Dragon Spiral Tower in the Secret Realm to summon Zekrom)

Chapter 404 Bidding

"We don't know the specific function of this item, but the large number of Electric-type Pokémon it carries is beneficial to all Electric-type Pokémon. It may accelerate their growth or even improve their potential." After briefly introducing the Dark Stone, the host began the bidding: "Starting price 0, minimum increment 10."

In his eyes, the Dark Stone was just a simple electric-type item, and it would be good if it could fetch a price of over a million.

Xia Yu remained calm and composed, sitting on the sofa and carefully observing the situation at the auction, without making any hasty moves.

Not only Xia Yu, but everyone else attending the auction felt the same way.

Many people are cautious about the unknown. Although they have a lot of money, they know that money doesn't grow on trees, and they are not fools.

I certainly wouldn't rashly act on something so unknown, lest I become a sucker.

A good ten seconds passed without anyone making a bid. The host started to get a little nervous and began to push the Dark Stone hard.

"Does nobody want to buy this prop?"

"For just 100,000 yuan, you can bring this item, which is full of Electric-type energy, home and help your Electric-type Pokémon grow."

"Moreover, this prop is exquisitely crafted, as if it were man-made, and may have other unknown effects."

…………

Seeing that the dark stone was about to fail to sell at auction, the host vigorously promoted it.

"Help me take a picture of this prop." Seeing this, Xia Yu knew it was time to act, so he turned to Sylvia and said.

"it is good."

Just as Sylvia was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from box number 3: "10."

Once the first person made a bid, a second person quickly followed, and the price climbed steadily until it reached 50.

Starting from 500,000, the rate of price increase begins to slow down.

"80."

"80... is there anything higher?"

"Ten million times."

"Twice 80 million."

…………

Seeing that no one else was bidding, Xia Yu nodded to Sylvia beside him, indicating that she could start bidding.

“90.” Sylvia’s voice rang out, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

"90."

"The VIP from box number 16 has offered 90. Is there anyone offering a higher bid?"

"Ten million times."

"Twice 90 million."

…………

"100."

Just as Xia Yu thought he was about to get his hands on the Dark Stone, a loud voice came from VIP box number 3.

Xia Yu frowned and looked at VIP room number 3. He took a deep breath and felt a sense of unease, but he still maintained a calm expression on his face.

"one million!"

"One million at a time."

"One million twice."

…………

"Keep going. Don't stop, always stay 100,000 ahead of him."

“One million one hundred thousand.” Sylvia nodded and continued bidding.

"One million two hundred thousand." The voice came again from VIP box number 3.

"One million and three hundred thousand."

"One million and four hundred thousand."

"1500000."

…………

What happened before their eyes caught everyone off guard. They all thought it was just an ordinary prop, but they never expected it would cause two VIPs in the private room to start fighting over it.

This caused everyone present to turn their attention to the dark stone and begin to carefully examine this inconspicuous black rock.

This dark, unremarkable stone must have something special to attract the attention of VIPs in two private rooms. Especially now that its price has already surpassed two million and is still climbing at an alarming rate.

"Two million two hundred thousand."

…………

"three million."

The VIP in VIP room number 3 was getting impatient with the price increase of 100,000 each time. He didn't want to continue haggling and directly raised the price to 3 million.

This caused everyone to start whispering and discussing in hushed tones. Three million was an extremely expensive price, enough to buy many good props.

Spending such a large sum of money to buy such a prop means either the two are foolish and have too much money, or this black stone is truly a treasure.

Xia Yu's gaze fell on the dark stone, and at the same time turned his attention to VIP room number 3.

More than the price, Xia Yu was worried that the people in Box 3 also knew the value of the Dark Stone.

If Xia Yu were to find out, she would have to be prepared for a major financial loss.

At that point, it won't be a matter that can be solved with just a few million or tens of millions.

…………

"Continue." As Xia Yu's voice rang out, Sylvia bid another 310 million.

"Three million one hundred thousand."

"five million."

The voice from VIP box number 3 rang out again. This time, he was no longer satisfied with increasing the price by 100,000 each time, and directly offered 5 million.

On the one hand, it was to save time, and on the other hand, it was to put pressure on Xia Yu and scare him away.

“Five million one hundred thousand.” Sylvia’s voice rang out again, still only one hundred thousand higher.

"The VIP in box 16 has bid 5.1 million. Is there anyone who bid higher?" The host was also surprised that this mysterious prop would cause two VIPs to fight over it, and his voice was filled with excitement.

He can earn a lot of commission from just this one deal.

"Six million."

"The VIP from Box 3 has offered six million."

"Six million and one million!"

…………

"Ten million."

The practice of only increasing the price by 100,000 each time thoroughly angered the VIP in Box 3. His voice was filled with undisguised rage as he loudly announced a price of 10 million.

Ten million is an outrageous price. With that much money, you could buy many rare items and high-quality Pokémon.

No one would be foolish enough to spend ten million to buy an unknown item; it's obvious that this black stone is not simple.

Hearing such a high price, Sylvia hesitated and dared not make another bid. She turned her gaze to Xia Yu, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Keep going! I didn't tell you to stop, you don't need to stop."

“Ten million one hundred thousand.” Sylvia took a deep breath and quoted a price of ten million one hundred thousand.

…………

Sylvia glanced at Xia Yu, who had remained extremely calm since the start of the auction.

He would simply pass up an auction item if the price was too high, and would never waste money on something.

This was the first time Xia Yu had ever bid so recklessly, regardless of the cost.

She was also very curious about what kind of prop this black stone was.

…………

"boom!"

Upon hearing Xia Yu's offer, the VIP in VIP room number 3 grew increasingly grim. His gaze was fixed intently on Xia Yu's room, almost tangible, as if he wanted to tear Xia Yu to pieces.
