Chapter 571
“Hey! What kind of reaction is that?”
Lin Ran was displeased at the situation.
Lin Ran scratched his head in embarra*sment.
“It’s better to say such things in private, the whole thing is quite embarra*sing!”
“Embarra*sed? You’d be embarra*sed too?”
Ling Sa laughed.
“I wasn’t embarra*sed when I saw you buying the hairpin just now, say! Who did you buy this hairpin for?”
“Of course it’s for you!”
Lin Ran said busily, following which he pointed to the hairpin and said.
“Look! The colour of this hairpin matches your clothes, so it must be for you!”
“BullSh*t!”
Lindsay said in disbelief.
“I don’t know you men yet, that’s why you said it was me when I asked you now, if it was any other woman, it would have been bought for someone else!”
“Say! Besides me, how many other women do you have outside?”
Ling Sa said as she moved a few points closer, her eyes staring straight at Lin Ran, with the intention of killing him if he hid one.
“Stop it, I can’t have any women!”
Lin Ran said awkwardly, his cold sweat immediately came down, he thought that Lin Ran was also considered to be invincible in Tanjiang City, but every time he was defeated in a relationship issue, it was really true to the saying, since the ancient times, heroes have difficulty with beauty!
“Hey, hey! The auction has started!”
Lin Ran suddenly pointed to the big screen and said.
Only to see on the big screen, inside a ring-shaped building, the saucy host had already walked up to the middlemost stage with a microphone.
“Don’t digress, who knows if you’re watching the pretty host or if you’re seriously watching the auction!”
Ling Sa gave Lin Ran a blank look, with contempt in her eyes.
Lin Ran was also helpless, he had wanted to buy it for her, how come at this moment he said it out loud, this nee-san was disbelieving instead.
“This is really bought for you, but it wasn’t bought by you, it’s also considered to be returned to its original owner!”
Said Lin Ran pointed to the big screen and said.
“Well, now start watching the auction, you do not look at them a few also to see right, do not affect others, moreover, you do not want to revenge?”
“Revenge?”
Ling Sa sniffed and asked afterwards.
“What do you mean!”
“It’s that Yue Bu ah, he hasn’t left, we’ll have a good time with him later on!”
Lin Ran laughed.
“How do you want to play?”
Linran wondered, that Yue Bu didn’t even know where he was now, how could he play.
“Just watch, I said this is just the beginning!”
Lin Ran smiled mysteriously, followed by whispering something to Li Sheng at the side, and soon Little Li, who had led the way before, came over.
“Sir Lin, the code name for the room where Sir Yue Bu is is Zero Thirty!”
Little Li whispered, and then walked away.
“Zero Thirty? Interesting!”
A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Ran’s mouth at his words.
……
This auction house of Li Sheng’s was all about a security, even if it was a lively auction, usually the big shots would not appear, they were all in their private rooms, watching through the big screen.
As for those who went to watch live, most of them would also wear masks. After all, those who could make it to the private rooms were all very powerful, and as for those of them who were small forces or casuals, they would have to make do with a bit of aggravation.
“Everyone! I am the host of this auction, code name Li Wu!”
The beautiful host smiled as soon as she came on stage and introduced herself, but the code name was a pang of dissatisfaction that Wang Yifeng heard.
“Li Sheng, how come you have a code name for this host, Li Wu, I think you should call her Cuihua, this beauty is too shabby to be called Li Wu!”
Looking at the beautiful host’s graceful figure, Wang Yifeng felt that the name was too awkward.
“Mr. Wang has no idea, almost no one in this auction house uses their real names, especially us staff, the young master uses one, two, three, four as code names for good memory, so it’s convenient to remember!”
Next to him, Butler Li explained with a smile.
Wang Yifeng, however, did not care which one, and laughed.
“I don’t care about that, come! You tell me the name of this little beauty secretly, fat master I am also generous, it is still possible to reward a few tips if you are happy watching!”
“No need Mr. Wang, they are all from our Li family, they all have their salaries paid by Mr. Li Sheng, and their turn is also an annual salary!”
Butler Li laughed.
“Annual salary?”
Wang Yifeng frowned slightly at his words and followed with a tentative question.
“Annual salary ….. More ….. How much!”
“One million!”
Butler Li said blandly, as if he was talking about a very ordinary matter.
“What? Just this crappy host job is a million a year? Holy Sh*t, ask Lord Li Sheng if he’s still short of people!”
Wang Yifeng looked like a wealthy man, one million was really big money to him, this guy usually tastes good and is lazy, although he already has true qi, but he doesn’t even think about making money, every day he eats and drinks from Lin Ran, not to mention one million, he doesn’t even have ten thousand on him.
“Mr. Wang is joking!”
Butler Li laughed.
Wang Yifeng, however, said solemnly.
“Didn’t say small! Didn’t say small! I am serious …..”
“Seriously your head, the auction is starting, in nonsense I’ll sell you!”
Before he finished a sentence, he was interrupted by Lin Ran next to him, Wang Yifei saw that he had gone a bit too far with his bullSh*t, and only then did he collect his mind and look up.
On the big screen, the beautiful host had finished her polite speech and took out the first item, which was a good ancient tripod-like vessel, the whole body was very exquisite, but the colour was a little worse, a little black.
“The first auction item, the Nine Elements Heavenly Cauldron, is a cauldron used by the ancient pill refining master Hua Tuo, the fragrance of medicine inside it is pungent, for those who know how to refine medicine, this is a priceless treasure!”
“All right, the starting bid for this lot is $50,000! Each bid must not be less than one thousand, now the bidding begins!”
As the beautiful host’s voice fell, the sounds of one offer after another rang out at once.
“There are so many people in here who know how to make pills?”
Wang Yifeng couldn’t help but ask when he saw this.
Li Sheng shook his head and laughed.
“I’m afraid that there isn’t a single person in here who knows how to make pills, alchemy is a very profound discipline, how could these mediocre people know how to!”
“Then they are so crazy!”
Wang Yifeng wondered.
Li Sheng smiled at his words.
“That’s because our Li family out of hand, not a single fake piece is a fine product, so these people you look very enthusiastic, in fact, many are second-hand dealers, buy back to the hand!”
“Holy Sh*t! Then why don’t you raise the price? Let these second-hand dealers make money for nothing!”
Wang Yifeng was even more puzzled.
“Existence is reasonable, after all, a lot of our goods still depend on these second-hand dealers to provide them!”
Li Sheng laughed.
And just as the two of them were talking, the original price of fifty thousand had been raised to one hundred thousand, and the code name of the last offer, which Lin Ran remembered very clearly, was the code name of none other than Zero Thirty Yue Bu.
“Brother Lin Ran is also interested?”
Seeing Lin Ran with a smile tacked onto the corner of his mouth, Li Sheng asked with a smile.
“I’m not interested in buying, but I’m interested in playing!”
Lin Ran laughed, followed by gesturing for Xiao Li next to him to come over and whisper something in his ear, and soon just heard the beautiful host on the big screen speak.
“The bid of our friend with the code name 942-1 is 150,000! Is there any higher!”
“Holy Sh*t 150,000! Ranzi you’re crazy!”
Wang Yifeng said busily when he saw this.
But Lin Ran laughed.
Rushing to the side, Xiao Li said.
“Reveal the news that this code name is me to Yue Bu, and everyone else present! Also reveal his code name too!”
Said Lin Ran as he glanced at the crowd and laughed.
“The good show has just begun! Just watch!”
Chapter 572
“What do you want?”
Wang Yifeng asked busily.
“You’ll find out later!”
Lin Ran laughed.
……
In box zero thirty, Yue Bu slammed his fist directly onto the chair next to him with a bang, his face grimacing with anger.
“Young master, or else forget it, this broken tripod is only worth 100,000 yuan, 150,000 is not worth it anymore!”
Next to him, an old man stroked his beard and persuaded, he was the guest secretary of the Yue family, known as the ghost calculator, and the guard responsible for Yue Bu Sheng’s safety this time.
“Old man Ghost, as you can see, that kid is deliberately calling my bluff! It would be fine if I didn’t know that this code name was him, but now almost the entire auction house knows that this code name is him and the code name for Zero Thirty is me, so if I don’t call his bluff, wouldn’t I be slapping my own face!”
Yue Bu said angrily.
He had never dreamed that Lin Ran would come up with such a move.
And he himself had previously scolded Lin Ran for being poor and how rich and wealthy his family was, but if he were to call it quits now, he would really be laughed off.
“Is there a higher price?”
The beautiful host asked with a smile as she stood on stage.
And offstage, others were already buzzing with excitement, one shouting out.
“Where’s zero thirty? Why isn’t it coming out? Afraid?”
“What zero thirty, that’s Duke Yue Bu, right, and that nine four two one is Duke Lin Ran, right!”
“Holy Sh*t really? Does that mean that Duke Yue Bu is scared?”
“What kind of gentleman is that? You’re not afraid of being laughed at. I think it’s more like an eunuch!”
These people were used to being idle, and their words were more and more unpleasant.
“Raise the price for me, two hundred thousand!”
“My lord!”
Seeing this, Ghost Pearl wanted to persuade him, but Yue Bu stopped him by waving his hand.
“I have it in my heart, old Ghost, I won’t delay this big event!”
“That’s good!”
Only then did Ghost Beadzi nod his head and not say anything.
“Zero thirty bid at two hundred thousand!”
The beautiful host immediately got the message and shouted out.
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately boiled over, one after another shouting that Duke Yue Bu was awesome, Duke Yue Bu was awesome …..
However, this boasting lasted only three seconds before the beautiful host spoke up again.
“Nine forty two one bid at three hundred thousand!”
“Wow!”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the room, these people had become smart where they didn’t know that the actual price of this tripod was only around 100,000, yet now it was directly speculated to 300,000, this price was simply going to be a loss.
“B*****d!”
Inside the box, Yue Bu was so angry that he crushed the cup in his hand with a slap.
Lin Ran was deliberately targeting him, and from the very first piece, if this was a straightforward admission of defeat, he, Yue Bu, wouldn’t have to bid on the items that followed!
“Raise your bid! Four hundred thousand!”
Yue Bu said angrily.
“Nine forty-two one offers five hundred thousand!”
“Sh*t!”
Yue Bu couldn’t hold back any longer and kicked over the table in the room.
“My lord, damage to the item is subject to compensation at the price!”
Next to him, a maid immediately stepped forward and said, infuriating Yue Bu so much that he wanted to kill someone!
“F**k! You want to play, I’ll play along! Raise it to seven hundred thousand directly to me!”
Yue Bu said angrily.
The staff next to him immediately pa*sed the message on.
“Zero-thirty offer! Seven hundred thousand! There could be a higher bid!”
“Holy cao! It’s F**king crazy, offering 700,000 for a broken tripod, spending money like water!”
“Who can help it? We don’t understand the world of the rich!”
“Do you think that 9.4.21 will raise the price?”
“It’s hard to say, whoever buys it at this price will lose money, as long as they’re not stupid, they won’t raise it again!”
The crowd was chattering, but Yue Bu was staying in the box, he was also apprehensive, he was really afraid! After all, he had other things to buy this time, so he couldn’t spend all his money on gambling with Lin Ran, and even if he was willing, the ghost beads next to him would definitely not be willing.
He said he was here to protect him, but in reality there was also a reason for him to come and spy on him, lest he mess things up.
“Good no one’s raising their bid! Now count down, three, two, one! Sold!”
As expected, Lin Ran wasn’t raising his bid, and as the beautiful host’s hammer fell, this first lot was finally sold, for seven hundred thousand dollars!
“Ranzi! Why aren’t you raising the price?”
On the side, Wang Yifei asked, he was watching with great interest, why did Lin Ran suddenly stop.
“You’re too stupid, that Yue Bu is not an easy marker either, if Lin Ran keeps adding more, who knows if he’ll suddenly stop!”
On the side, Ling Sa explained with a smile.
“Not so much, could he still guess what’s in Ranzi’s mind?”
Wang Yifeng wondered.
“That would depend on the heart game!”
Ling Sa laughed.
Lin Ran didn’t listen to either of them and just laughed.
“Don’t be in a hurry, this is only the first lot!”
As he spoke the second lot was brought out, it was a very ancient bow, but it was quite badly damaged, and although one could see that it was extraordinary, after all, there were too few people who could repair it, and in the end it only sold for the lowest price, during which neither Yue Bu nor Lin Ran spoke.
“Alright, next is the third lot, the Nourishing Qi Sandalwood Incense!”
As the host opened his mouth to introduce the third lot, the entire auction hall was immediately abuzz with excitement.
Nourishing Qi Sandalwood Incense, as the name implied, was a sandalwood incense that could nourish Qi, but this nourishing Qi did not refer to nourishing health, but could put the cultivator in a state of nourishing Qi all the time.
The Feng Shui realms are divided into: Bone Touching, Face Reading, Qi Watching, Heaven Seizing, Creation and the legendary Ultimate Realm!
This Qi nourishing sandalwood incense is for those who are in the Faceting Realm leading to the Qi Watching Realm.
It was very difficult to cultivate this true qi in Lin Ran’s body, so it was extremely important to cultivate this sandalwood incense.
Of course, there was another possibility that it would also need to be used, and that was that after breaking through the Qi Watching Realm, the true qi in his body was unstable, and he would also need this Qi Nourishing Sandalwood Incense to fix it.
“That’s it! This is exactly what I need, as long as I buy it, I can just wait for the last lot!”
Looking at the Qi nourishing sandalwood incense in the host’s hand, Yue Bu’s eyes instantly went red, this item was exactly one of his goals this time.
“Nourishing Qi Sandalwood Incense, offer 300,000! Each increase must not be less than one thousand, now begin!”
As the host’s voice fell, at once Yue Bu made his first bid.
“Zero thirty bid at five hundred thousand!”
“Wow!”
As soon as this price was out, it instantly stunned the entire auction hall, raising the bid by two hundred thousand directly, this ……
“Holy Sh*t not giving us a chance at all!”
“Yes, this Yue Bu is really not something!”
“I need it too, I want the F**k out of it too! I only have half a million!”
Voices of discontent rose from the crowd, but soon they froze.
Only to hear the beautiful host laugh.
“Nine forty two one bid, eight hundred thousand!”
“Eight ……. Eight hundred thousand, this thing is only worth half a million, right? On a normal day it would only go for a maximum of six or seven hundred thousand, is this guy crazy!”
“I don’t think it’s madness, this is deliberately aimed at Yue Bu!”
“Yue Bu is miserable, 800,000 for this sandalwood incense, plus 700,000 for the Nine Elements Heavenly Cauldron just now, this is really a loss to his grandma’s house!”
“Haha, that’s right, it’s a huge loss! However, we still have to see if this Yue Bu will raise the price or not!”
