ch 299 - Crazy Bidding; The Cheng's Trump Cards (2)
“The auction will now begin officially. The Cheng’s is providing 6 shares of mystical water, each share is 2 cubic liters. Starting bid is 50 mystical stones!”
As soon as he finished talked, the grumbling from the attendees started again!
“Why is it only six shares? And only 2 cubic liters a share? How can we compete for that?”
“The starting bid is 50 mystical stones? How can we compete with those from prominent families? This is too difficult!”
“That’s not enough. Didn’t you prepare anything for us with no affiliation?”
“It looks like we won’t be getting any mystical water!”
“…..”
The unaffiliated individuals weren’t the only ones that were disgruntled, even those from the large families weren’t looking much happier. In addition to the Top Nine Sects, there were also the Top Seven Families. Yet the Cheng’s were only providing six shares of water, that would certain create some issues.
At this very moment, everybody turned to look at Cheng Biyuan. All of them asking him about it wordlessly.
Of course Cheng Biyuan got the meaning of the looks but he could only laughed bitterly on the inside, “The amount was not a decision of mine. All the quantities today were determined by my daughter!”
Ugh!
Everybody was speechless. Once again it was the mysterious, hard-to-encounter Cheng Xiao Xiao again!
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
Old Man Ying banged the gavel against the wooden board again. Piercing look coming from his eyes, his body filled with qi that rolled out in waves. A strong invisible force made put pressure on everyone’s breathing. Inside the canopy quieted down.
“If you want to buy anything, speak with your resources. Otherwise, get the hell out!” Old Man Ying was very being very aggressive. He didn’t care for these people and was starting to get quite annoyed with all the interruptions.
Everybody who were getting goosebumps dare not speak anymore. One by one they quieted down.
“Hrm!” Hrmphed Old Man Ying disdainfully. “Okay, starting the bidding of the first share of mystical water!”
“Sixty mystical stones!”
“Sixty-five mystical stones!”
“Eighty mystical stones!”
“One hundred mystical stones!”
“……”
“Two hundred fifty mystical stones!”
“Two hundred sixty mystical stones!”
“…..”
