I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Compared to the bloody world in the apocalypse, the real world is filled with peace.

In the banquet hall on the top floor of Kyoto Hotel, the auction of rare Chinese medicine is still going on. Unlike the killing in the end times, the auction here is more of a game of money.

Although this kind of game is not as cruel as swords and guns, the risks involved are also huge.

Not long after the auction began, Mr. Shen left under the protection of Xu Li, Ding Kai and others. After all, with his status, he was able to attend this event of the Chinese Medicine Association, which was considered very supportive, and it was impossible for him to stay longer.

Originally, because of Mr. Shen's presence, the entire venue was heavily guarded. Many people were sensitive to the tense atmosphere, and everyone was cautious in bidding at the auction.

After Mr. Shen left, everyone felt the heavy atmosphere in the air suddenly loosen up, and everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they felt a little puzzled by their own behavior, most people didn't think too much about it, let alone Mr. Shen's identity. They just thought that they might be too nervous.

Only a very small number of people like Sun Xiaoyan, who knew Mr. Shen's identity, guessed that in addition to the obvious security forces, there should be other masters nearby in this venue.

However, when there is no danger, these lurking masters will not show up, but will just watch silently. But if something happens, they will strike with great force.

At this moment, the auction just entered the stage of bidding for the top-quality purple ginseng.

Soon, the female host spoke up, "Next, we're going to start bidding on the final herb: the three-hundred-year-old, top-grade purple ginseng! Before we begin, we'd like to invite the renowned doctor, Mr. Qi, to personally appraise this exceptional purple ginseng!"

The main reason why Qi Weili came to the scene today was because he promised President Mu of the Chinese Medicine Association that he would identify this top-quality purple ginseng on the spot.

After all, this kind of top-quality purple ginseng is too rare. If there is no authority to identify it, many people will have concerns, which may affect the auction price of this purple ginseng.

At this time, after hearing the female host's introduction, Qi Weili walked up to the stage and took the top-quality purple ginseng from the etiquette lady.

After carefully examining it, he said, "Everyone, in my humble opinion, the actual lifespan of this top-grade purple ginseng should be around 360 years, or even longer. It's the best of the best, so please rest assured!"

After hearing Qi Weili's appraisal results, everyone present exclaimed in amazement!

For a moment, everyone at the scene was talking about it, but at the same time, many people who were interested in participating in the auction frowned slightly.

You know, there seems to be little difference between a 300-year-old purple ginseng and a 360-year-old purple ginseng, but in fact, there is still a big gap.

Originally, if Qi Weili had not explained, everyone might have bid for about three hundred years, and then everyone would have gotten some advantage, but now, I'm afraid they would have to pay a lot more money.

Sun Xiaoyan originally attended this auction just by chance and didn't think much about it. But when she heard that Qi Weili could actually tell the actual age of this top-grade purple ginseng, it seemed that he really had strong attainments in traditional Chinese medicine.

At this time, the female host smiled and said, "Master Qi is a well-versed scholar of ancient and modern times, and a renowned medical expert. A few days ago, Master Qi cured a leukemia patient, which can be considered a medical miracle. I'm sure everyone has heard of this. So, with Master Qi's appraisal, everyone can rest assured about this top-grade purple ginseng."

After Qi Weili returned to his seat, the female host said, "Next, we'll start bidding on this 300-year-old, top-grade purple ginseng. The starting price is 8 million, and each bid must be no less than 1 million. Everyone can raise their paddles now."

The female host smiled and stood aside after she finished speaking.

……

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a middle-aged man in the back seat raise a sign and shout, "Sixteen million."

Everyone was astonished when they heard this. The price of this three hundred year old top quality purple ginseng doubled on the first bid. It seemed that the final transaction price of today's grand finale auction would be very impressive.

Many people looked at the middle-aged man. At first glance, most people knew him. He was a Chinese medicine merchant named Meng Changhe.

This is a Chinese medicine dealer who likes to speculate. He knows very well that if he keeps bidding up the price of this top-grade purple ginseng, it is likely to end up being 20 or 30 million, so he simply doubles the price to scare other people. This way, he might even be able to make a quick buck.

"Seventeen million." A young man in the venue also raised a sign and shouted.

Meng Changhe saw that his plan to steal the chicken had failed, but he didn't want to give up. He gritted his teeth, glanced at the man, and raised his sign again: "Eighteen million."

"Twenty million." Soon, another newcomer joined the auction and spoke up.

"Twenty-four million."

Meng Changhe's face was a little gloomy. The reason why he wanted to participate in the auction was because of some special reasons that forced him to raise his bid.

The price of twenty-four million is not low for this top-grade purple ginseng. After all, the role that one ginseng can play is limited. This price makes many people want to give up.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "I'll give 30 million!"

Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound and found that the person who made the bid was Sun Xiaoyan, who was sitting next to Mr. Qi. She had no intention of participating in the auction.

But just now, she suddenly discovered that Meng Changhe would subconsciously glance at Takahashi Masayoshi every time he made a quotation, as if he was watching Takahashi Masayoshi's movements.

At this moment, Sun Xiaoyan suddenly had an idea. Perhaps this man named Meng Changhe was probably Takahashi Masayoshi's agent.

Since he had already fallen out with Takahashi Masayoshi, why should he give him face? Besides, Sun Xiaoyan was also a medicine maker and had some ideas about this purple ginseng, so he made an offer.

When someone suddenly called out 30 million, almost everyone was shocked, especially Meng Changhe, who was stunned and then looked at Takahashi Masayoshi.

At this moment, Gao Qiao Zhengyi's face turned pale. He didn't expect that Sun Xiaoyan would actually compete with him at this time. Perhaps because he was anxious, he didn't need Meng Changhe to bid. He directly took the sign from Sun Xuan beside him, raised it and said, "Forty million!"

Takahashi Masayoshi is a veteran in the business world. He knows very well that at this moment, one cannot get too hung up on the price. Once the consumption starts, there is no telling how high the price will be!

Moreover, he felt that Sun Xiaoyan would never buy it at first glance. He must have known that he really needed this top-grade purple ginseng, so he deliberately made trouble for him and tried to raise the price to disgust him.

Therefore, Takahashi Masayoshi was ready to bid 40 million in one go, making Sun Xiaoyan afraid to follow!

After all, this purple ginseng itself is not worth such a high price!

However, contrary to Gao Qiao Zhengyi's expectations, Sun Xiaoyan raised the sign again and said calmly: "Fifty million!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene. A purple ginseng that was more than 300 years old was actually auctioned for 50 million. Even in Chinese currency, everyone was stunned.
