Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.

A personally signed Tomb Raider Talisman has been bid up from a starting price of one million to two billion.

What is this concept?

It not only broke the world auction record several times over, but also inadvertently gave the name 'Captain Chen' a huge boost in global prestige.

But the 2.8 billion is far from over; the auction is still raging with tension.

In the live stream, this was also used as a gimmick, and the number of viewers surged, making it the number one spot on the traffic chart.

It was truly unexpected that the finale of this auction would be such a grand climax.

[Two billion? Someone really offered two billion for a tomb-raiding talisman? This world is absolutely insane!]

[They're really stupid and have too much money!]

[This is hilarious! Someone as rich as you, do you think they're not as smart?]

[Exactly! This tomb-raiding talisman is definitely something special! If I hadn't missed the deadline for paying the deposit, I would have already gone up and tried to acquire it.]

[Dude upstairs, you really know how to act cool!]

I bet my life that every fart Captain Chen ever lets out in a plastic bag will be worth a hundred million!

Chen Yibai sat in the private room, listening to the auction bids while watching the comments in the live stream, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Although Chen Yibai knew in his heart why it was auctioned for such a high price.

However, this move unexpectedly boosted his commercial reputation, something Chen Yibai never anticipated.

After another hour of intense bidding, the price was driven to a new high: 3 billion!

What does 3 billion mean?

Auction commissions alone have reached 300 million, breaking the Asian auction transaction record.

Some domestic archaeological departments are probably secretly delighted, because the auction house had previously stated that all the commission from this "treasure hunt talisman" would be donated to domestic archaeological departments to support the development of archaeology in China.

Three billion! This is also the price Chen Yibai wanted.

When the price reached 3 billion, no one raised their paddle to bid any lower.

This was also within Chen Yibai's expectations.

After all, the 3 billion was all agreed upon in advance, and the act could end here.

"The current price is three billion... Is anyone else bidding?"

"Thirty billion the first time... thirty billion the second time..."

The female auctioneer swung her small gavel, repeatedly asking questions in both Chinese and English, while the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

"Thirty billion for the third time..."

Keng!

With a resounding thud of the auctioneer's gavel, the deal was finalized, and the 3 billion yuan was sold!

"Congratulations to the telephone bidder from outside the venue for winning the bid for Captain Chen's personally signed tomb raiding talisman for three billion..."

The female auctioneer's voice was high-pitched and tinged with excitement.

No! He should be very excited! It's just that out of professional ethics, he didn't fully show it.

After all, for an auctioneer, to have the honor of presiding over the auction of such a world record-breaking item is a tremendous professional honor and a highlight of their career.

Without exaggeration, this is the pinnacle of professional skill globally.

There has never been anyone like him before, and it is unlikely that anyone will ever be able to surpass him.

The entire auction lasted seven hours before finally concluding successfully.

With the final "treasure hunt talisman" as the grand finale, the total transaction price of the entire auction approached 10 billion.

To be precise, this should be Yan Tianjiu and Chen Yibai's 'private collection auction'.

"You've gone to so much trouble... It really was Yan Tianjiu's good grandson who spent so much money..."

Chen Yibai got up and left the private room with a smile. Before leaving, he gave each of the pretty waitresses in the room a tip.

Unbeknownst to Chen Yibai, Yan Tianjiu was also in a great mood, handing out tips to the waitresses in his private room.

That's right!

The mysterious buyer who ultimately won the Tomb Raider Talisman for 3 billion was not one of Yan Tianjiu's own people arranged beforehand.

Instead, it was a real, mysterious buyer who helped pay for the order, saving himself 3 billion!

This was a result that Yan Tianjiu never dreamed of, so Yan Tianjiu's mood at this moment was not just good, but so good that he could fly!

However, the fact that someone is willing to pay 3 billion for him is mainly due to Chen Xiaowei's fame and influence.

What Yan Tianjiu didn't expect was that Captain Chen's reputation would be worth 3 billion!

After the auction ended, the final payment was credited to the account according to procedure, and there were no unexpected events.

In particular, the mysterious tycoon who bid 3 billion for the Tomb Raider Talisman completed the transaction in full the very next day.

As agreed, Yan Tianjiu immediately gave the 3 billion to Chen Yibai.

After sending away these 3 billion, Yan Tianjiu could say that he had finally gotten rid of this plague god.

At the same time, Yan Tianjiu was also working hard to help Chen Yibai with the unfinished building project on Canglong Peak.

This was mainly because Yan Tianjiu wanted to completely sever ties with Chen Yibai, so he handled the matter very efficiently.

Less than ten days had passed.

Through Yan Tianjiu's connections, he successfully helped Chen Yibai take over the unfinished luxury housing project on Canglong Peak and also helped him contact a construction company.

As Chen Yibai specifically instructed, it has not yet been announced who took over the unfinished Canglong Peak project.

After about half a month of preparation, the abandoned Canglongfeng project officially resumed construction and was renamed 'Longteng Manor'.

Of course, Chen Yibai came up with the name. Although it's a bit tacky, that's exactly the kind of tacky style he wanted!

Following the official reconstruction of Longteng Manor, and with the overwhelming news coverage from various media outlets, it undoubtedly became another highly explosive news topic.

In the comment sections of various news pages, almost half of the comments are negative, based on knowledge of the history of this unfinished building.

For example: "Another fearless sucker has appeared..."

"Dragon Soaring Manor? How about changing it to Dragon Soaring Mortuary..."

"Buying a house here isn't about wealth, it's about whose birth chart is the strongest!"

"Even if they gave me money, I wouldn't dare live there!"

"I hereby declare that the owner who took over this unfinished building will definitely not survive until the Chinese New Year this year!"

"Let's all guess what the consequences will be for this person who takes over?"

"Is that even a question? It's definitely either bankruptcy, a car accident, or maybe a sudden medical checkup reveals a terminal illness or something..."

I have to say, these netizens are really venomous!

This reflects the current social reality. To sum it up in one sentence: people prefer watching bankruptcies to watching people get rich...

In response to these negative news reports, the relevant departments in Lingang City naturally took action in conjunction with the cyber police to protect the city's image and interests.

But no matter how much you try to control and delete comments, how can you possibly keep up with the sheer volume of comments posted by the vast online community?
