Chapter 148: The Auction (4) (1/2)
Once more, Wenren Yu felt shivers and shook his head. He felt that the woman was bad news.
”101 gold coins!”
101 Gold coins?
Lin Yun looked at his brother with a sigh. He truly wondered whether his brother had learned anything from watching the people in the auction house just now. Increment of 1 gold coin would only irk these people when the item was already priced at quite a high price.
”110 gold coins!”
”116 gold coins!”
”130 gold coins!”
”140 gold coins!”
”150 gold coins!”
”167 gold coins!”
The price continued to increase as more and more people bid. But looking at the bidders, one would be able to see that these people were all only Body Training Stage Cultivators. Granted, for those at high rank, this herb didn't possess much value. They were only watching the warm up that was specifically prepared for those who didn't have much money but wished to participate in the auction.
”200 gold coins!”
The price increased and Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows.
”201 gold coins!”
This time, even Wenren Yu was speechless. He looked at Lin Xiao while wondering whether this man would want to bid the herbs or not. Can't he just increase the price by a great margin if he truly wanted the herb?
Why did he increase by 1?
Sure enough, some people already continued the bidding and the war didn't end so quickly.
”210 gold coins!”
”240 gold coins!”
”250 gold coins!”
”255 gold coins!”
The increment began to decrease as time passed. The original price for Dragonfly Grass in the market was around 250 gold coins to 300 gold coins depending on the quality of the grass. While they have faith that the quality of the grass in the auction house was good, not everyone was willing to throw so much money.
Many had already stopped bidding and only those who truly wanted the herb continued.
”260 gold coins!”
”265 gold coins!”
”270 gold coins!”
”271 gold coins!”
When Lin Xiao bid for the last, several people were looking in their direction, wondering where this idiot popped out from. But since the increment lately was only 5 gold coins, he didn't really attract that much attention.
Only some people who were sitting nearby looked at him in confusion since they had already heard him increased the price by 1 three times.
Sui Wenyan held the urge to strangle Lin Xiao. She felt a bit embarrassed because Lin Xiao only increased the price by one. Sometimes, the small increment sounded as if they were poor or they were so thrifty.
She disliked the thought.
However, Lin Xiao kept a straight face and just waited for more people to bid. However, the other people who were bidding paused for a moment. They turned to look at Lin Xiao before continue to bid.
”275 gold coins!”
”280 gold coins!”
