Bind to the collection system, I became a national treasure

A few minutes later, Xiao Rui returned to Bai Xi with a strange look on his face, holding the auction number plate he had processed and the auction staff.

"what happened?"

Seeing Xiao Rui's strange expression, Bai Xi asked curiously.

"It's nothing, miss. Your number plate is 666. We can go in and take our seats now." Xiao Rui shook his head and gestured to Bai Xi.

Bai Xi was also stunned when he heard this: "Six six is ​​a lucky number, why would they give it to us?"

"You might be better off asking Mr. Lu. The staff said he booked the number for us yesterday."

Lu An?

Now Bai Xi finally understood why Xiao Rui's expression was so strange. She was not a fool, so she could naturally understand what Lu An meant by the questions he asked during the last family dinner, but her answer was actually very obvious.

We can be friends, but I don’t feel anything when we’re lovers.

But she didn't expect Lu An to help her arrange the rest of the things. Forget it, just consider it as she owes Lu An a favor.

Bai Xi shook her head and did not stay at the venue entrance for too long. She directly asked the venue staff to take them to their seats.

Their position was in the middle area, facing the auction table, with a wide view. They were neither too far forward nor too far back, just the right position.

The seats in the central VIP seats are all independent single sofa chairs. There is a smaller round table in the middle of each seat, which is filled with many candies and snacks, as well as a wine list. Paid wine service is also provided for guests here.

Bai Xi and the other two sat down in turn. Bai Xi sat in the middle, with bodyguard Hong Xiu on his left and Xiao Rui on his right.

"Miss, this is the auction brochure for the jewelry auction. You can take a look. The item currently being auctioned is number 47. As for the bronzeware auction, the on-site staff will deliver it to us before the next auction begins."

After Xiao Rui sat down, he handed the auction brochure and the bidding number plate to Bai Xi.

After Bai Xi took it, she put down the number plate and flipped through the catalog. The content was similar to the one Lu An sent her, except for a few more items. She must have sent them for auction this week.

According to the information on the auction manual, the start time of the World Jewelry Auction is 3 pm. Now that most of the time has passed, it is the climax moment when the blockbuster items will be on display.

“Dear guests, the next item to be presented is lot number 48.

The 'Animal World' ring, weighing 44.84 carats, is a masterpiece crafted by Chopard's master jewellers and features a mix of Colombian emeralds and diamonds.

Starting price: HK$500,000! Each bid must be no less than HK$50,000. Bidding begins now!

As the previous auction item was successfully sold, the next item was immediately presented by the venue staff. With the auctioneer's passionate voice as the background sound, the large LED screen behind the auctioneer began to scroll and play real photos of the item.

The dazzling design immediately attracted the interest of many wealthy ladies, who began to place bids.

"55 million!"

"60 million!"

"70 million!"

......

Bai Xi took a look and showed no interest. Ever since she saw the jewelry styles left by her ancestors in Huachang Studio last time, she now felt that these so-called master designs were all empty talk.

However, the mission still had to be completed. With a thought, the mission panel appeared in front of her.

Monthly Mission 4/4: Collect 3 different types of jade jewelry.

[Grade requirements: Collection grade]

[Current progress: 0/3]

【Countdown: 239:57:58】

[Task Reward: Suzhou and Hangzhou Jiangnan Garden Villa, 1 million RMB]

Jade itself is a precious jewel. If the quality of the jade is amazing, such as the glass-type imperial green, it is easy to reach the collection level.

Bai Xi flipped through the pages. Before coming here, she had already locked onto a few items that happened to be the highlight items, but they had not been put up yet.

She picked up a pen, made a simple mark on the manual, and then handed the auction manual and bidding number plate to Xiao Rui.

"Here are some jewelry I want. Please take pictures of them for me."

"Okay, miss." Xiao Rui took the manual and flipped through it, taking a deep breath. He wanted to remind her, but he looked at Bai Xi who was driving other people to the auction with great interest.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He suddenly remembered that his boss was the kind of person who casually spent 100 million to buy antiques, not to mention that this time he was going for bronzes. For her, these were indeed not even worthy of her bidding in person.

......

As the jewels were auctioned off one by one, the heavyweight pieces that Bai Xi liked were quickly presented under the protection of several venue staff. Xiao Rui looked at Bai Xi and knew it was his turn to appear, so the following scene occurred.

......

"Congratulations to VIP No. 666 for successfully bidding on a pair of natural red jadeite carved "double ring" earrings for HK$200 million!"

......

"Congratulations to VIP No. 666 for successfully purchasing a Bulgari necklace inlaid with natural Burmese jadeite beads and diamonds for HK$500 million!"

......

"Congratulations to VIP No. 666 for successfully bidding on a Burmese natural jadeite bracelet with a full green color for HK$1200 million!"

......

Under Bai Xi's instructions, Xiao Rui raised her bid frequently, and without exception, all the heavyweight jewelry that came on stage were taken into her pocket.

This almost shopping spree successfully attracted everyone's attention. In addition, her position was in the center of the VIP seats, which made the three of them the focus of the whole audience.

"What's the story behind number 666? Many of these pieces are being auctioned at a premium. Are they here to cause trouble?"

"Impossible. Every bidder has to pay a deposit. The organizer will give the bidder an amount equal to ten times the deposit based on the deposit amount. They bid so much and no one came out to stop them. This only proves that the deposit they paid was extremely high.

In my opinion, this must be the daughter of a wealthy mainland family coming to Hong Kong."

"Oh, I didn't buy any of the jewelry my wife likes. I don't know how to explain it to her when I get home..."

"Who says it's not? Just treat it as a fun event. The bronzeware show is the real highlight!"

......

Just as everyone was discussing and secretly speculating about Bai Xi's identity, the last item of the auction, which was also the most important finale, had already been auctioned.

“Dear guests, distinguished guests, the next item to be presented is lot number 60.

A set of natural "Imperial Green" jade jewelry, including diamond rings and earrings, has bright colors and exquisite carvings on the bottom. The true meaning is seen in the details. A complete set of Imperial Green jewelry is hard to come by!

Starting price: HK$10,000,000! Each bid increment must not be less than HK$100,000. Bidding begins now!

As soon as this piece of jewelry came out, Bai Xi instantly felt that the atmosphere on the scene became lively, and the detailed picture on the big screen began to scroll.

The vibrant green of top-grade jadeite is like the tip of a lotus just beginning to emerge, symbolizing thriving and restraint.

The design and craftsmanship from the masters make the whole set of jewelry particularly fashionable and not outdated.

It looks really good.

Bai Xi was really interested now. He sat up, looked at Xiao Rui, and motioned him to give him the number plate.

The auctioneer on the stage was bidding passionately. Although the auction had been going on for more than two hours, his emotions and state were still extremely full. For this finale item, he even used all his strength to incite the bidders on the scene to actively participate.

"VIP No. 1069, bid 2000 million Hong Kong dollars. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher? This is a rare treasure that only comes once in decades!"

"2000 million Hong Kong dollars a time!"

At this time, Bai Xi raised the number plate in his hand and said calmly:

"3000."
