School flower's personal master

Chapter 13012

There's no other reason than that his family has readily available refining methods that can ensure the extraction of the deep-cold properties.

For him to further enhance his strength, the addition of this Deep Cold property is even more crucial.

However, if it falls into the hands of someone else, whether they can successfully extract the Deep Cold properties is unknown, and its value is completely incomparable.

Just as Young Master Wu was about to make a bid, Lin Yi's voice came from VIP room number five: "Eighty coins."

The entire room fell silent for a moment, and even the auctioneer on the stage was stunned.

"Eighty coins? Are you sure it's eighty coins, VIP in Box 5?"

To be honest, for a seasoned, top-notch auctioneer, this reaction was really unprofessional.

But it's no wonder he reacted this way; everyone present had the same reaction.

"Eighty coins? You must have misheard me. Eight coins is more like it."

Lin Yi repeated calmly, "Eighty coins."

The entire audience erupted in cheers.

Although the scale of this auction is far beyond the norm, this is only the first item. The atmosphere hasn't even warmed up yet, and it's already been increased to such an exaggerated level. Isn't that a bit much?

In the lobby below, the group of customers who had just been eager to compete immediately fell silent.

Just kidding, even if they sold themselves, they wouldn't get such an outrageous price as eighty coins!

Suppressing his shock, the auctioneer said excitedly, "Alright, box five bids eighty coins. Any higher bids?"

Box number six.

Young Master Wu gritted his teeth: "He really said eighty coins? Is this guy crazy?"

The value of the Ancient Ice Soul is certainly not low, after all, it may grant a person a special trait, which to some extent can achieve an effect similar to fusing with immortal divine equipment.

Ultimately, however, this process is far too cumbersome and complex, and its reliability remains questionable.

If it were to end up on the market, it would be worth at most ten coins.

Even if today's occasion is special, the most I can get is twenty coins.

How could it possibly be inflated to eighty coins all at once?

That's the price of a genuine Immortal God-tier item!

No matter how good this Ancient Ice Soul is, it still can't compare to a true immortal divine weapon.

Young Master Wu stared intently at Lin Yi, a look of suspicion on his face: "Could this person be deliberately trying to mess with me?"

No matter who it is, they would inevitably think from this perspective.

After all, the price of eighty coins is really outrageous.

At the same time, the eyes of everyone in the other private rooms were also looking Lin Yi up and down.

Lin Yi was already a mysterious figure in their eyes, and he made such a big move right from the start, so they naturally had to be even more wary of him.

Fortunately, while they were somewhat tempted by this ancient ice essence, they were not determined to obtain it.

Moreover, they all knew that this was already something that Young Master Wu had reserved, and if they jumped out to raise the price, they would inevitably offend the Wu family.

The auctioneer was still asking, "Any other VIPs willing to bid higher?"

His gaze, however, swept toward VIP room number six.

As a top auctioneer, he is well aware of the core potential clients for each item.

At this moment, Young Master Wu found himself in a difficult situation.

The Wu family is indeed very wealthy; they raised a full three hundred coins as bidding funds just for this auction.

But these three hundred coins are family funds with a clear bidding target, and they are not something that Young Master Wu can move around at will.

If too much is consumed on Ancient Ice Soul, it will inevitably affect the subsequent auctions.

Even Young Master Wu dared not imagine the consequences of failing to win the bid.

Young Master Wu was furious: "That kid is just here to cause trouble, isn't he? He's asking for an exorbitant price; it's questionable whether he even has eighty coins!"

An old man beside him corrected him, "Young master, the auction rules stipulate that each bid cannot exceed the amount of chips in hand. If he doesn't even have eighty coins, it will be considered an invalid bid, and the auctioneer will give him a public warning."

Young Master Wu laughed in exasperation upon hearing this: "So, according to you, he really wants to use eighty coins to snatch a piece of Ancient Ice Soul from me?"

The old man nodded silently: "Young master, why don't you give up for now? The family mission is more important."

Young Master Wu gritted his teeth: "Give up my ass! The word 'give up' doesn't exist in my dictionary!"

After saying that, he shouted, "Eighty-five coins!"

The entire audience erupted in another uproar.

The auctioneer's eyes lit up with delight: "Box number six has bid eighty-five coins. Any higher bids?"

His gaze then turned to VIP room number five.

As the organizer of this auction, regardless of Lin Yi's reasons for suddenly raising the price, the higher the final price, the better. He couldn't wait for Lin Yi to fight to the death with Young Master Wu.

As a result, Lin Yi remained as steady as a rock, showing no intention of continuing to bid.

Young Master Wu said provocatively, "Go ahead and yell? Why don't you keep yelling?"

The old man behind him hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

If Lin Yi had continued bidding, there would still have been room to salvage the situation. But now that Lin Yi has stopped, it means that this Ancient Ice Soul is probably really going to be stuck in their hands.

As expected, no one else made a bid.

The auctioneer happily announced: "Box number six, eighty-five coins, once, twice, three times, sold!"

Young Master Wu looked at Lin Yi with a cold smile, his face revealing no trace of smugness.

Using 85 coins right off the bat just to bid on an Ancient Ice Soul seems like a huge loss.

The key issue is that this would completely disrupt the entire bidding process, and it's uncertain whether we'd have the financial resources to acquire any desired items that come up in the future.

Young Master Wu naturally understood this principle.

He's not the kind of brainless, good-for-nothing playboy.

But in the end, even if other items are successfully bid on, they are used by other family members.

This Ancient Ice Soul was the only item he had already reserved for her. From his personal perspective, he could ignore all the other items, but he absolutely could not accept the Ancient Ice Soul.

Little did he know, his reaction was entirely within Zhang Baiyu's plan.

Catfish are most afraid of making a misstep. Zhang Baiyu, after verifying information from multiple sources, determined that this Young Master Wu was determined to obtain the Ancient Ice Soul, which is why he devised this plan.

As it turns out, Zhang Baiyu's reputation as a super strategist is indeed well-deserved.

"Next is the second item for auction, please take a look."

The auctioneer on stage was clearly more enthusiastic, speaking with increasing energy and becoming extremely persuasive.

When it came time to give the price, their eyes kept glancing towards Lin Yi's No. 5 private room.

Not only him, but all the other customers in the room were also waiting for Lin Yi's reaction.

Although the first item was won by Young Master Wu, Lin Yi's arrogant bid clearly showed that he was a tough guy with deep pockets in their eyes.

Once the fight begins, it will inevitably turn into a fierce battle.

As it turned out, it wasn't just the second incident; it happened five times in a row. Lin Yi remained as steady as a mountain, showing no intention of speaking.

"Is it just a paper tiger?" (End of Chapter)
