"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient." Shopkeeper Ning reached down and pressed down, signaling the guests to calm down. Before he could finish his words, he said, "For this final item at auction tonight, each guest will only have five chances to bid. Please consider carefully, otherwise your chance will be gone."

It would have been fine if Shopkeeper Ning hadn't said anything and no one knew about it. But now that everyone knows, no one is willing to raise the price first!

The atmosphere in the Heat grew a bit colder again. With only five chances per player, wasn't it obvious that they would hold back until the very end and use their ultimate move?

However, everyone seemed to have forgotten one thing: bidding... in the end, it was all about financial strength...

"The starting price for this stone is one million taels of gold. Each bid must be no less than five hundred thousand taels of gold. Bidding will begin after the gong is struck. Interested parties, please come early."

After observing the expressions of the guests, Manager Ning announced the auction rules. As a result, many guests who did not have enough money were filtered out based on this rule alone. As for the remaining guests who could participate in the auction, they were basically people with strong financial resources and power.

"So, this is... gambling on stones?"

Jiang Fugui had heard of gambling on stones, but had never participated in it herself, so she turned back to look in Gong Yulinxu's direction, seeking confirmation: "Third Young Master, is that so?"

Gong Yulinxu's expression remained calm: "Yeah, that's right."

Jiang Fugui, who saw gambling on stones for the first time, became even more interested. When she shifted her gaze away from the big stone, she wished she could go to the display table below to watch it up close.

The big stone was moved out of the box by several servants. Jiang Fugui stared at it for a long time, but couldn't see any difference in it. He couldn't help but complain in his heart: Isn't it just an ordinary stone?

"Betting on stone in Dafengyue became popular five years ago. If you win, you can become rich overnight; if you lose, you will go bankrupt overnight. You can't see anything special about the seed material stone; it all depends on luck. If you are not an expert, it is best not to even touch the surface."

Gong Yulinxu stood up at some point and walked behind Jiang Fugui. He looked through the top of her head and looked down at the stairs.

Hearing the noise behind her, Jiang Fugui instinctively wanted to turn around, but before she could turn her head halfway, she felt a big hand behind her twisting her head back into place.

For a moment, Jiang Fugui was inexplicably frightened and didn't dare to move anymore.

If the Third Prince had twisted her head just now with even a little more force, she would probably have heard the sound of her neck breaking.

Jiang Fugui felt resentful in his heart. He was so careless that he was almost killed by the Third Prince...

As the incense stick burned out, no one bid. Manager Ning kindly reminded them, "Everyone, if no one bids, the auction will end in half an hour. If you want to bid again, you'll have to wait three years."

At this moment, someone shouted to Shopkeeper Ning, "Shopkeeper, open your mouth and see. Otherwise, who would be willing to bid higher?"

Shopkeeper Ning waved his hand and politely declined, "The boss has instructed that only the final buyer of this stone has the authority to request on-site stone cutting. Before that, no cuts can be made, and after the transaction is completed, there is no going back on the deal."

In other words, it’s a blind gamble!

Some people hesitated for a while and then gave up. The risk of blind gambling is too high. If you spend a lot of money to buy a prize but nothing comes out in the end, you will lose a lot of money!

In this way, another group of mentally unstable guests were excluded.
