Ever since the "Godly Rich System" came along, I've been trending on social media eve
Chapter 101 1 million
Lin Xi glanced around and was surprised to find that there were even villas inside...
The auction officially begins.
A refined-looking middle-aged man strode briskly to the host's position.
"Welcome everyone to the Treasure Pavilion Auction. I am your auctioneer today, Mingyu. I believe you all already know the list of items for today's auction. So without further ado, let's begin."
Lin Xi looked at the expressionless man in front of her and sighed inwardly. No wonder he had such a powerful background.
A young woman in a cheongsam gracefully walked up the steps carrying a tray with an exquisitely crafted gift box on it.
Another young lady, wearing gloves, opened the gift box, revealing the jewelry inside.
“Wow, it’s beautiful.”
"Really like."
"This is the Pure White Dream Necklace. This jewelry set consists of a diamond crown and a necklace. The entire necklace uses a total of 200 carats of diamonds. The diamonds with different facets, combined with the multi-layered structure, make this necklace dazzling and beautiful."
As Mingyu introduced the event, the atmosphere in the arena heated up again, especially among the women.
"The starting price is now 200 million, and each bid must be at least 50 higher. Bidding begins."
"Two million." A well-dressed woman quickly raised her sign.
“300 million,” another woman retorted.
"500."
A loud male voice rang out, and the girls who were bidding all turned their attention to it.
"What, can't I buy it as a gift for my girlfriend? If you like it, just raise the price," the boy said in a nonchalant tone.
"550 million." The elegant woman raised her paddle again and shouted. This was her bottom line; she would give up if it went any higher, since the price was far too much.
Mingyu watched the scene of prices increasing without any reaction.
"Host, charge! Head towards our goal!" the system shouted in the space, its face full of fighting spirit.
Seeing that no one else was bidding higher, Mingyu shouted, "550 million once, 550 million twice..."
The sophisticated woman felt confident of victory and smiled.
"550 million..."
"1000 million." Lin Xi raised the sign at the last moment and called out calmly.
"Hiss, they're asking for double the price right away. I wonder which company they're from. Don't they know there will be serious consequences if they can't pay?"
"Who knows? Who would spend so much money on a necklace worth millions?"
"Let's see how she handles it in the end."
"1000 million once, 1000 million twice, 1000 million three times, sold! Congratulations to this lady for winning our Pure White Dream Necklace." Mingyu uttered this exciting sentence in a completely flat voice.
The sophisticated woman could only angrily bang on the table, saying nothing more. After all, it was normal for the highest bidder to win; she could only wait for the next one, as it was just the beginning.
The crowd stopped discussing and quietly waited for the next item to be auctioned.
"Next, the second item for auction is this pair of earrings called 'Moonlit Dream.' These earrings feature a silver moon-shaped design and are set with pure sapphires. The sapphires have a unique velvety blue color. The two earrings set with sapphires weigh 26.66 carats and 25.88 carats respectively. Each sapphire is like a cascade of moonlight, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The starting price is 1500 million, and each bid must be at least 100 million. Let's begin."
Mingyu introduced them in a calm tone, but the crowd was still overwhelmed by the beauty of the two sapphires.
"This would be a perfect birthday gift for my mom; she'd love it."
"It's so dreamy, I'll give it a try too."
The heads of each family didn't raise their eyes, since it was an ornament worn by a woman; at most, they would call out to their family members.
"2000 million." A middle-aged woman immediately raised the price by 500 million. Judging from her classical and elegant attire, she clearly had a fondness for gemstones.
"3000 million." Another middle-aged woman held up her sign, looking at the previous woman with a defiant expression. "Meizhen, this isn't good enough. Why only add 500 million? You should double it."
The person called Meizhen had a peaceful expression and was not angered by her words. She calmly raised the sign and said, "3500 million."
The provocative middle-aged woman held up her sign with a disdainful look, "4000 million."
"What, didn't you want to add it?"
Meizhen did not make a move.
The man next to her leaned over and said gently, "What's wrong? If you like it, just buy it. It's okay. Or I can help you take a picture."
He was about to raise his hand when she stopped him and shook her head. "No need, I don't really like it that much. Let her take it."
The man squeezed her hand back, "Don't hesitate to like what you want in the future. Money is meant to be spent, isn't it?"
"Mmm." Meizhen nodded sweetly.
The middle-aged woman, who had been looking arrogantly in their direction, suddenly turned pale and looked at the man next to her who was resting with his eyes closed. She was so angry that she didn't say a word.
“4100 million.” A young woman’s voice came through.
The middle-aged lady who was still bidding didn't raise the price any further, as if she was deliberately trying to antagonize Meizhen.
"4100 million for the first time, 4100 million for the second time, 4100 million for the third time. Okay, congratulations to this lady for successfully bidding on Moonlight Dream."
The woman was overjoyed, her face beaming with excitement. After all, this was a birthday gift she had bought for her mother, whose favorite gemstone was this kind of gem.
"Okay, next up is the third item in the collection."
As soon as Mingyu finished speaking, a screen was brought in.
A brocade screen woven with gold thread depicts a scene of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix. The birds' feathers are vibrant, and the phoenix is noble and magnificent. The silk threads shimmer brilliantly in the light, a truly breathtaking sight.
Lin Xi also fell in love with it at first sight; it would look nice to have this at home.
"As you all have already seen, I won't go into details. The starting price is 1300 million, and each bid must be at least 50 higher. Let's begin."
"1500."
"1800."
"2500."
"3000."
.......
Finally, Lin Xi and everyone else had finished calling out their names.
"6000."
As Lin Xi raised her paddle, the crowd lowered their hands from bidding, though some persisted.
"6300."
"6800."
Lin Xi, somewhat impatient, raised his sign and said, "1 million."
"What? One hundred million? That's a huge price increase?"
"Is this genuine wealth or just empty boasting? This far exceeds its true value."
As soon as these words were uttered, the crowd began to murmur among themselves, and even Mingyu, who had been expressionless the whole time, raised an eyebrow.
