Chapter 369 Bidding For The Dracaena (1/2)
”45,000!”
”46,000!”
”48,000!”
The price of the first dracaena had risen to 48,000 in less than a minute. Lin Huang only managed to ask Leng Yuexin to call out a price once at 40,000. Not long after, the price soared. Obviously, dracaena was an item that was in high demand.
”The bid has reached the price of 48,000. Is there anyone that will place a bid for a higher price?” Kong Hao called out.
”48,000 is a relatively high price. Are you sure you want to continue?” Leng Yuexin looked at Lin Huang skeptically.
”Yes, I’m sure!” Lin Huang was determined and nodded vigorously. Despite the increase in price going beyond his expectations, he had no idea how long he had to wait if he missed the chance of getting the dracaena. He did not want to wait any longer to unlock Charcoal.
”What is the maximum price that you’ll pay for a dracaena?” Leng Yuexin then asked.
”100,000!” Lin Huang went mad.
Leng Yuexin was stunned. She did not ask anymore and pressed they keys on the machine to bid.
”55,000!”
When Kong Hao shouted ”48,000” twice, he originally thought that it would be the final price. Unexpectedly, someone from VIP room 3 called out a price that was 7,000 higher. The price had now risen to 55,000.
”The bidder from VIP room 3 has placed a bid of 55,000!”
n.o.body continued to challenge the bid.
The normal price for a dracaena would normally range from 35,000 to 45,000. It was rare that it would be sold at a price that was higher than 50,000. This was also the reason why when the price had reached 48,000, many of them were reluctant to place a higher bid. It was not worth it. The price had now increased to 55,000 and had completely exceeded the regular price of a dracaena. Of course, n.o.body would want it since there were still 11 of them, so they wanted to keep their options open.
”55,000, going once!”
”55,000, going twice!”
”55,000! Sold!”
The auctioneer repeated the price three times. n.o.body interrupted him this time. The bid for the first dracaena was then won by Leng Yuexin.
”Congratulations to the bidder in VIP room 3. You have successfully won the bid for the first dracaena at a price of 55,000 Life Crystals!” The auctioneer clearly knew that the person in the VIP room was the eldest daughter of Leng family, so of course, he was polite to her. ”Now, let's start bidding for dracaena number 2. The starting price is 30,000 Life Crystals as well. The price increment is 1,000 higher for each bid. The bidding now begins!”
”The person in VIP room 3 places a bid for 55,000 Life Crystals!”
As soon as Kong Hao announced the opening for the second dracaena, Leng Yuexin, who was in the VIP room, directly placed a bid for 55,000. The voice of a woman was immediately heard in the hall. ”The way she places her bid, how can others still bid?!” It was the privilege granted to those who were in the VIP room.
As soon as her voice was heard, many of the royal members were stunned. Soon after, the people who were interested in buying the dracaena started berating the bidder for spoiling the market.
Even Kong Hao, who was experienced, was stunned for a moment. However, he quickly recovered from his thoughts.
”It seems like it’s a must for the bidder in VIP room 3 to get the dracaena,” Kong Hao feebly joked. He then announced, ”The bidder from VIP room 3 offers 55,000 Life Crystals for the dracaena. Is there anyone who's willing to place a higher bid?”
In fact, n.o.body did. The price had exceeded many of the people's expectations.
Soon, Leng Yuexin won the bid for the second dracaena.
In the VIP room, Lin Huang gave her a thumbs up. 55,000 was a price that was acceptable to him.
As soon as the third auction started, Leng Yuexin called the price of 55,000 again without hesitation. The woman's voice piped up again and the royal members who were interested in buying the dracaena looked upset.
”It seems like she's going to bid for all of them. However, she's too naïve if she wants to buy all 12 dracaenas at a price of 55,000 each,” snorted an unfriendly-looking middle-aged man who was wearing a hat.
