” 1100 Gold coins”
Before most people could even realize the bidding had started, the bid had already increased by 100 gold coins.
”1110 gold coins,” Ning bid as well, but his voice was quickly drowned in other bids of higher value. Ning then decided to keep quiet and wait for the number of people bidding to lower.
It didn't take long for the price of the item to double as the bid reached 2000 gold coins. Only then did it even remotely slow down.
It took a bit longer for the bid to reach 2100 gold coins when there were only 3 people bidding. 2 people were from the VIP rooms on the upper floor and 1 of them was from the hall below.
”2-2160 gold coins,” the guy on the hall below hesitated for a bit before increasing the bid. It didn't seem like he had much more money to bid.
”2170 gold coins,” one of the people from the VIP room bid. He could hear a young man's voice, but couldn't see anyone there.
”2180 gold coins,” a much elderly-sounding voice shouted from the VIP room.
The man on the ground lost all hope seeing the two of them instantly increase the bid and decided to drop out.
”2190 gold coins,” the younger man in the VIP rooms bid.
”2200 gold coins,” the older man bid.
The back and forth went on for a bit longer until the older man started hesitating.
”2450 gold coins,” the older man bid after nearly 5 seconds, instead of the instant bid he was doing a bit ago.
”2460 gold coins,” the young man didn't hesitate at all.
The old man deliberated for a bit and bid, ”2480 gold coins.”
”2490 gold coins,” the young man once again bid instantly.
The old man didn't bid any longer. There was silence for a bit and then he finally spoke, ”Sigh, alright you win. I don't want that spear anymore.”
”Thank you, Elder,” the young man spoke from inside the VIP room. ”Haha, since there are no more bidders, I think we can proceed to the next item,” the man said.
Niya on the stage nodded and said, ”going 2490 gold coins, Once.”
”Going 24— ”
”2500 gold coins.” Ning decided to finally step in and bid.
The audience was a little surprised that someone from the lower hall was actually bidding so high.
”2510 gold coins,” the young man bid without hesitation still.
”2520 gold coins,” Ning wasn't stopping either.
