Chapter 55: Auction 4

Views:

"175 million! VIP No. 17 bids 175 million US dollars! 175 million US dollars for the first time, 175 million US dollars for the second time, and 175 million US dollars for the third time,"

The beautiful auctioneer held up a small hammer in her bare hands and knocked it down with a bang.

"Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully winning this lot!"

The huge snake skin did scare everyone present, but many of the wealthy people wanted to pursue excitement after getting tired of airplanes, yachts, beauties and luxury cars.

Bungee jumping, skydiving, surfing, wingsuit flying, many of the participants in these activities are often wealthy people with some assets.

While many ordinary people are busy making ends meet, they have become tired of the life that most people dream of and are turning to seek higher levels of excitement.

Hunting is a common activity for many wealthy people in the Federation. They usually take a private plane from the Federation to the African savannah to hunt a few lions and have a professional photographer take a refined photo. The cost is only tens of thousands of dollars.

They then post on Twitter or Moments, as if doing so can prove that they have conquered these fierce beasts.

As a result, many deputy positions have emerged on the African savannah. Some experienced hunters often do not hunt directly when they find some scarce prey.

Instead, it marks its location, looks for customers, and lets them experience the thrill of capturing their prey with their own hands.

This is much more profitable than simply selling prey.

Near the hunting grounds, some people would prepare specimens of the prey captured by these wealthy people and let them take them back to their villas and estates for collection.

It can be said that on the African grasslands, a complete industrial chain has been formed around the wealthy people who come here to hunt.

Lions, cheetahs, elephants, rhinos, these overlords of the African grasslands are just collections for many wealthy people to prove their strength.

A unique piece of giant snake belly skin is undoubtedly the best collection for them, and it is an item that they can hang in their own reception room to show off.

This is much better than lion skin or reindeer head.

As wealthy businessmen raised their placards, the auction price of the giant snake's belly skin rose steadily, from the reserve price of 2 million US dollars to 175 million US dollars.

When the price rose to this level, many people at the auction were immediately deterred from buying.

One hundred million U.S. dollars is a luxury even for a billionaire to buy a piece of snake skin that is simply used for decoration.

Finally, the snake skin was bought by an Arab with a white cloth wrapped on his head for 175 million.

Many people cast jealous yet accustomed looks of regret.

With a piece of cloth on my head, I am the richest person in the world.

These tycoons who made their fortunes from oil are making lavish purchases all over the world. Others work hard for their entire lives, but cannot earn as much as they do by just digging a few shovels.

There is no comparison and no way to compare.

… …

"boss!"

Skye came up to Tang Song and hugged his arm, looking curious.

Tang Song Gang clearly showed great interest in snake skin, but did not participate in the auction of snake skin.

Others may not know, but Sky knows the wealth of his boss.

If we really calculate the cash flow, our boss can easily come up with hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.

Not afraid of this Arab at all.

Of course Tang Song was interested in this snake skin. He used his spiritual sense to examine the snake skin and found that its toughness and degree of integration with the essence of heaven and earth were both good.

It can be used as material for refining magical instruments.

In his memory, there were several powerful magical weapons made of the skins of exotic animals and monsters.

One of them was especially the Five Yin Bag. He had always wanted to refine one to carry things with him. He spent half a year in New York collecting most of the replacement materials.

Some time ago, he even received a piece of the essence of an alien blood god.

Used to replace life-stained blood.

Now what is missing is a main carrier, and this piece of snake skin is just right for making the bag body.

(Five Yin Bags, ranked seventeenth in the 72 methods of the Heshan Sutra, good at collecting,

The Five Yin Black Evil that was bred was specifically capable of collecting the flying swords and magic weapons of both the good and evil sects, and could also refine the flesh and blood of all living beings.

The more flesh and blood of living beings that are refined, the greater the power and the wider the internal space.)

The Five Yin Bag can be said to be a magical tool with great room for growth, and most importantly, it is also a storage magical tool.

This piece of snake skin was an opportunity that almost came to Tang Song's hands, so Tang Song naturally couldn't miss it.

The reason why he didn't follow and film was of course because he was sure that the Arab could not take the snake skin away.

Tang Song's spiritual consciousness had been locked on the young Arab who was dressed like a dumpling skin. Seeing that he had no intention of leaving the venue, he turned his attention to the auction table.

The items bought at the auction are usually delivered after the auction ends.

Of course, if any guest wants to leave early, he or she can also find the organizer and pay the full amount in advance, and the organizer will allow the guest to leave early with the auction items.

… …

"The following item is a dose of serum. According to the seller, this serum can greatly improve the user's physical functions and prolong life!"

At the auction table, the beautiful auctioneer entered the password, opened a silver briefcase, and took out a glass test tube from it. Green liquid was distributed in a spiral shape in the test tube.

"Secondary Super Serum, starting price: 5 million US dollars!"

There was an uproar in the audience when they heard the words of the beautiful auctioneer. For the rich, only by living a long life can they continue to enjoy their current wealthy life.

Just like the kings of every dynasty in ancient times all visited immortals and sought advice in order to achieve immortality.

Today's wealthy people spend a lot of money on biotechnology in order to prolong their lives.

From organ transplant surgeries to replace hearts and lungs, to injecting young people's spinal cord fluid, and the research and development of cryogenic hibernation technology, it can be said that the current level of science and technology and means are enough to make those ancient kings dumbfounded.

The driving force behind all this are the increasingly aging vested interests, and those who stand at the top of the pyramid will want to stay there forever.

But time is often the fairest, and it treats everyone fairly.

Even billionaires cannot escape the natural law of birth, aging, sickness and death.

It is human nature to fear death.

A dose of serum that can prolong life. As soon as this auction item was put on the market, many people in the audience raised their auction cards.

"10 million!"

"15 million!"

"25 million!"

"40 million!"

… …

There was an endless stream of people raising placards, and the price of the serum soared all the way, quickly rising from the base price of 5 million to 60 million, and there were still more than a dozen people raising placards at this price.

Before the auctioneer even had time to call out the first price, the current price was exceeded and quickly reached 80 million US dollars.

"Hill, can this serum really increase human lifespan?"

In the northeast corner of the auction, a burly white man looked at the woman next to him with some curiosity.

The man had short brown-red hair and arms that were slightly longer than others. His suit jacket could not hide the muscular lines on his back.

"I don't know. I haven't been injected with this serum. Commander Fury has been injected with it. You can go ask him!"

The woman called Hill by the men was wearing a high-collared blue-gray coat. She had brown hair, a heroic face, and a pair of sapphire eyes, which made her particularly eye-catching.

"Forget it!" The man spread his hands, "Just pretend I never asked!"

The man knew exactly who his superior was, the king of spies who doubted everything.

He didn't want all the secrets that he had been secretly investigating to be dug up again.

"Captain Fury is not the only one who has been injected with this secondary serum. From what I know, there are more than a dozen people!"

Hill looked at the auction booth and glanced at Magneto standing aside with the corner of his eyes.

That was their mission goal this time. Of course, the order given by Director Nick Fury was only to monitor and investigate secretly.

"This serum is a replica of the super serum used by Captain America. This serum can slightly improve the physical fitness of normal people.

But the effect is much worse. Although the side effects are not serious, you need to inject a dose of stabilizer every once in a while, otherwise the effect of the serum will disappear!"

Hill raised his lips slightly and said in a mosquito-like voice:

"According to the scientific department's experiments, this serum does not extend lifespan. On the contrary, because it stimulates the regeneration of human functions, it will affect cell activity!"

(Thank you all for your monthly tickets, I also want to update more. Whenever the baby cries, I have to change diapers and feed him. I really have to squeeze in time and write it bit by bit on my phone.)
