822 Increase the Price by Folds (1/2)
”What the f*ck?! Who called two billion? Is he out of his mind?”
”The other only increased the bid by one million. Then he jumped in and raised it by one billion?! He is insane!
”Look! Look! That's him! That's the guy made the bid!”
...
The audience's gaze turned to Chen Xiaobei again. However, having been slapped by Chen Xiaobei earlier, they quieten down – not daring to throw insults at Chen Xiaobei.
The ones who were with Chen Xiaobei, on the other hand, were unnerved.
”Xiaobei, what are you doing?” Lin Xiang who was very troubled asked, ”Everyone said that the box is a useless piece of junk. Why did he bid… At such a high price?! Isn't that a waste of money?”
Lin Caoyin shook her head and said, ”Mr. Chen is not an ordinary man. I don't understand what is he trying to do but he can definitely afford this. We don't have to worry about anything.
Lin Xiang was not even in the slightest bit relieved to hear this.
She was a thrifty woman – when they were shopping for clothes, she even advised Chen Xiaobei to be more careful with his spending.
How could she have any peace of mind seeing Chen Xiaobei splurge on a box that nobody wanted?
Just then.
Zhang Xiaoshen shrieked, ”Hey! What the hell are you blindly calling out? What do you know about the box? How could you bid two billion on it?
”Of course, there are treasures inside!”
Chen Xiaobei smirked. He had already seen the contents of the box with his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes.
”Oh please drop the act!” Zhang Xiaoshen frowned and said, ”The box is made of a very special material! Even if you had the latest gadgets, no one would be able to detect what's inside the box! How is it possible that you know what's inside?”
”I have eyes that see through it. That's how!”
Chen Xiaobei laughed.
”Hey, how old are you? Why are you still cracking this kind of jokes? Why don't you just say that you are a god?” Zhang Xiaoshen did not believe anything that Chen Xiaobei said.
”Mm, technically, this ability to see through things is actually an ability of a deity.” Chen Xiaobei said, straight-faced.
”What the heck! Can't you be serious for a moment?”
Zhang Xiaoshen was so mad you could only see the whites of his eyes. ”I was merely helping you! This is for your good. If you are not going to listen to me, I shall leave you be!”
Chen Xiaobei smiled and did not reply to him. Sooner or later, Zhang Xiaoshen would know if Chen Xiaobei was just bluffing him.
Whispers could be heard from the people in the first row.
”That kid is retarded!” Hikari Okazaka suddenly spoke. He laughed manically. ”Spending two billion dollars on a crappy box that cannot be opened is like throwing money into the sea! How stupid! Hahaha…”
Demonic Fox had yet recovered from the previous shock. She was still racking her head, trying to figure out what Chen Xiaobei was doing.
But she was more certain than ever that Chen Xiaobei would never do anything stupid!
She had never believed in anyone like that before. Just like believing in herself, she knew that Chen Xiaobei was going to give the audience a second wave of shock really soon.
”Hikari-san! Raise the bid! I'm sure that there is something extremely valuable in that box!” Demonic Fox said without as much as batting an eyelid.
