Miler, who has a system for giving up
Chapter 18 Participating in the Auction
A sense of desolation welled up in Ye Dongjun's heart. He thought he had sorted out his emotions, but now he realized that the tranquil lake in his heart was still being stirred and was difficult to calm down.
He was filled with remorse, blaming himself for missing the chance to say goodbye to me, and worried that this missed opportunity might have a negative impact on their budding friendship.
However, Ye Dongjun was not discouraged. He told himself that he could not give up so easily. So he resolutely took action and actively explored various ways to find out about my situation.
Whether he inquired from others or observed personally, he didn't miss any opportunity to find clues. He firmly believed that with enough effort, they could definitely become close friends who could talk about anything and share their innermost thoughts.
After returning home, I ate dinner, washed up, and lay on the bed thinking about everything that had happened that day. It seems like life is all in a circle, and it was such a coincidence to meet them.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, my little cutie appeared. "Ta-da! My little cutie is here! Hehe, congratulations, Master, on successfully slacking off all day! Here's a reward of 'slacking off coins'. Master, how about we hold on for another 10 minutes, sign in, and then go to sleep? That way, we'll get even more 'slacking off coins'!"
I listened to my little cutie and persevered for 10 minutes, not a second more. Just past 12:01 a.m., I listlessly called out, "Little cutie, sign in. No need to announce it. I'm going to sleep now. I'll check it myself tomorrow." My voice grew softer and softer until I finally fell asleep.
I slept until 9:10 a.m., the latest I've ever slept. It seems that bringing people back and forth into my medicinal field is quite taxing on my mental energy.

Wow, looking at my character panel, the stats were very satisfying. So I clicked the close button and exited the interface. Just then, my phone suddenly beeped; there was a new message in the group chat.
When I opened the email, I found that Sikong had sent me a location message, while Han Heng had sent me an invitation to an auction at 6 PM that evening. He also said that he had prepared clothes for me and would pick me up at 5 PM, then we would have dinner together before heading to the auction.
Han Heng said that if I took a fancy to anything at the auction, Sikong could pay for it; otherwise, Sikong would feel bad. I replied with an "okay" and a smiling emoji.
Afterwards, I put my phone aside, set an alarm, and immersed myself in my cultivation again. At five o'clock in the afternoon, Han Heng arrived downstairs on time. He was dressed in an exquisite black suit, looking handsome and dashing.
I put on the dress Han Heng had prepared, went downstairs, and got into his car.
"Beautiful lady, please fasten your seatbelt," Han Heng said with a smile, then started the car. Sikong sat in the back, so I had to sit in the front, otherwise my dress wouldn't fit.
We went to a high-end restaurant and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.
Afterwards, our group arrived at the auction venue. The atmosphere inside was lively, bustling with people, filled with tension and anticipation. Everyone wore excited expressions, their eyes fixed on the stage.
As the host introduced the items, one by one, precious auction items were brought onto the stage and displayed to the audience. These items included exquisite works of art, rare antiques, and unique collectibles, each eliciting gasps of amazement and admiration from the audience.
However, despite the excellence of all the items, I couldn't find anything that truly captivated me. My gaze swept over each exhibit, and I silently prayed to find a treasure that would truly move me.
Just then, the auction's grand finale—an ancient sword—was finally presented. As the staff slowly carried it onto the stage, the entire hall fell silent, all eyes fixed on the sword.
The sword's blade gleamed with a cold light, and its hilt was inlaid with jewels, making it exceptionally magnificent. More importantly, it exuded a mysterious aura, as if concealing boundless power, seemingly calling out to me.
A thought struck me, and without hesitation, I raised my paddle and joined the bidding. The price soared, and the competition was fierce. But I didn't give up, resolutely continuing to raise the price. Finally, after a fierce contest, I successfully won the sword at a high price.
After that, everyone downstairs left, leaving only a few people in the private rooms on the second floor. Just then, a new host was introduced on stage, and the auction started again. To be precise, this was the key part of the auction we were going to attend.
The host started a new round of auctions, and one item after another, many of them were unfamiliar to me—plant-based elixirs. Han Heng and Sikong Feng were explaining to me what each one did, but I realized they weren't as good as the ones I won in the lottery.
The host excitedly announced the final item up for auction: an ancient book radiating a mysterious light. It was said that this book recorded long-lost cultivation methods and magical techniques.
My eyes lit up; I'd always been interested in ancient cultivation methods. I was determined to obtain them, no matter the cost.
I could feel the atmosphere around me growing more tense; the cultivators in each private room were all eager to make their move. Bidding cries rose and fell, and prices continued to soar.
I gripped the number plate tightly in my hand, my eyes fixed resolutely on the ancient book. No matter what, I had to get it!
The bidding began, and the atmosphere became intense. Others also recognized the value of the ancient book and kept raising the price.
I gripped my bidding paddle tightly, raising the price higher and higher each time. My competitors were not to be outdone, but I would not back down.
Finally, when the price soared to an astonishing figure, the room fell silent. Sikong Feng, noticing my obsession with the ancient book, glanced at me and then shouted out a price that shocked everyone.
The host announced the sale, and I successfully acquired this precious ancient book. I carefully took the book, feeling a powerful energy flowing through my hand. This ancient book will become a valuable asset on my cultivation path; perhaps the secrets it contains will change my destiny.
My haul today is an ancient sword and an ancient book.
Sikong Feng bought a bunch of plants, all of which I had never seen before. After the staff delivered the auction items, Sikong Feng tossed me the ring containing the plants and said, "You help me plant these. I'll pay you a labor fee and a planting fee. If they mutate or improve when we harvest, I'll pay you double. If they turn out badly, it's on me, not yours. I just transferred 100 million to you as a service fee. I'll settle the rest when we harvest the plants."
I was speechless. "I haven't even had a chance to thank you yet. Why do I need to pay for the two things you helped me with today? There's no need to give me so much for planting. I can just keep an eye on the plants for you when I have time. How can I accept so much?"
Han Heng then spoke up for Sikong Feng, "Little Lele, it was agreed that he would pay for those two. Let's keep things separate. It's normal for him to pay you for your work. Don't worry. Let's go, I'll take you home, it's getting late."
Han Heng's words were like a key, unlocking the lock in my heart. I understood that Sikong Feng's actions were not to curry favor with me, but out of respect and gratitude.
And so, it was another perfect day. After saying goodbye to them and getting home, I saw in the group chat that Ye Dongjun was saying again that the two of them didn't include him in their games.
Back home, I took out the ancient sword and books I had stored in the warehouse and called out to my little cutie, "Little cutie, come out quickly and help me see what these two are? Also, see if they can be the same as the secret manual I drew. Can you instill them into my head? There are some parts of this text that I can't understand."
"Here it comes, Master! You've hit the jackpot! That's right, Master's luck today is exceptionally good. It's not surprising at all." After looking at the two items, the little cutie seemed to be comforting herself.
Hearing her say this made him even more anxious. "What do you mean? Stop comforting yourself, give me an analysis!!!"
"Master, you're incredibly lucky! This is the Ancient Sword of the Desolate Court! It's the sword of the ruler of the Great Wilderness, who governs all the gods! Furthermore, this ancient book contains many lost immortal techniques, such as time-space magic, allowing you to travel back and forth through time and see every aspect of the past clearly. Also, you can only see the past; you can only change the future, provided your strength reaches the immortal realm."
"Master, you should try using your spiritual blood to bind yourself to someone. If that doesn't work, try using your divine sense. After all, not everyone can obtain these two things."
I first tried the blood oath, but there was no response. In the end, I used my divine sense to explore, and that's how I successfully recognized them. This is because both of them have spirits. The initial blood oath didn't move them. It was only because my divine sense was more profound and gentle than that of ordinary cultivators that they were willing to recognize me as their master.
After recognizing its master, the ancient sword, which had been covered in rust, shed its outer layer, and waves of sword intent swept over it. It truly lived up to its reputation as the sword of the Lord of the Great Wilderness.
The ancient book entered my body automatically and was nourished by the spiritual energy within me. I felt a slight change; it became somewhat new from its dilapidated state.
Then I planted all of Sikong Feng's plants in my premium herb garden. After I finished, my little cutie gave me a reward—a few "play-it-and-go" coins. I have to go to work tomorrow; I need to get my driver's license and car sorted out. After all, I'm a multi-millionaire now, hehe.
I just couldn't stay awake any longer tonight. I couldn't wait until midnight to check in, so I quickly said to my sweetheart, "Goodnight, sweetheart. See you tomorrow," and fell asleep immediately.
My little darling, seeing that I've fallen asleep, has quietly left.
