Chapter 1171 - Auction Part 2 (2/2)
What if the legendary Subway Line 0 was discovered one day? The buyer would be able to go directly or they could sell the card to someone and generate a great return.
Of course, considering the risks involved, even those interested in biding didn’t have a high price set in their mind.
“Eleven hundred!”
“Twelve hundred!”
“Five thousand!”
Five thousand crystals!
Everyone gasped the cool air and cast their sights on VIP booth 001 who raised the price to five thousand.
What kind of person was willing to spend five thousand crystals to buy a small card?
Even the auctioneer in the middle was shocked by the wealth displayed by the buyer of VIP booth 001.
As soon as the auctioneer regained clarity, he immediately shouted.
“Five thousand crystals once!”
“Five thousand crystals twice!”
“Five thousand crystals…”
Wan Peng smirked and leaned back against the chair. To be honest, Ding Liwei and he both had one of these ID cards. The reason why he spent this money was to prevent someone else from receiving the “ticket” to Subway Line 0.
There were enough people interested in Subway Line 0. The last thing he wanted would be to have another unstable factor.
Five thousand crystals, worth it…
“Ten thousand crystals!”
Wan Peng’s smile froze and his face gradually turned gloomy.
“Twenty thousand!”
There was a commotion in the auction hall.
The card was actually bid to a price of twenty thousand crystals. The host felt that the palm of his hand that held the wooden hammer begin to sweat.
“Ahem, twenty thousand crystals once…”
“Fifty thousand.”
VIP booth 076 again raised its placard.
Wan Peng’s expression turned even more gloomy.
The host looked at him hesitantly, asking him if he was going to bid more, but she saw that Wan Peng just waved his hand and then spoke a few words to the middle-aged man next to him.
The middle-aged man nodded and left the room.
Wan Peng looked outside and stared at the VIP booth numbered 076. He gnashed his teeth and thought in his mind, Don’t let me know who you are. Don’t ever think about Line 0, otherwise, you can go die!
The fifty thousand crystals bid pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
“Fifty thousand! VIP booth 076 is bidding Fifty thousand! Is there a higher price? If not, Fifty thousand, once, fifty thousand, twice, five thousand thrice…”
On the platform, the auctioneer shouted three times, and the wooden hammer smashed down.
“Deal!”
Just like this, with an astronomical price of fifty thousand crystals, this mysterious ID card was collected by Jiang Chen in VIP booth 076.
fifty thousand crystals to buy a card was certainly considered wasteful. The same price could purchase a customized power armor on Pingan Street!
The people in the hall turned their eyes to VIP booth 076. They all wished to know the mysterious buyer.
However, apart from a faint illusion, they could not see anything. They could only look at the unidirectional light-transparent glass and dream of the magnificent wealth.
In VIP booth 076, the beautiful host next to Jiang Chen was flushing with excitement.
For every item Jiang Chen purchased, she collected a small commission. Although this ratio was very small, she could receive fifty crystals on the fifty thousand crystals purchase. It was almost the equivalent to her basic salary of one month.
Conversely, if Jiang Chen didn’t buy anything without even bidding once, and the hotel would punish her. Precisely because of this, she was so anxious when Jiang Chen seem disinterested.
The beautiful host with her charming smile gazed at Jiang Chen. Her watery eyes were full of passion.
Since Jiang Chen already purchased what he needed, he didn’t want to stay further and stood up.
“There is still half an hour left of the auction. Do you not want to stay, sir?” The host asked.
“I already bought what I needed. Send the item to my room after.”
Jiang Chen shook his head and left the room.
