Tang Ling is a person who likes to be in control.
He doesn't like unplanned deviations in his behavior, although he also has uncontrollable madness in his heart, which will make him take incredible extreme risks.
But the main premise of risky behavior is because of 'desperate situation'.
But does an auction count as a desperate situation? Tang Ling hated himself very much at this moment. He had thousands of reasons to support his rationality and told him not to continue.
On the other hand, as if being pushed by something, he kept up with the numbers that kept beating on the big screen again and again.
This feeling of not even being able to control one's own behavior is really frustrating
Tang Ling clenched his fists, feeling the stinging pain from his nails, but reached out again and made another bid.
By this time, the number on the screen had changed to eight million sources, but judging from the frequency of number changes, many people had no intention of giving up.
This shows what? This shows that the auction for this set of albums is far from over.
The final situation should be that the remaining few most determined bidders are engaged in the final pursuit.
"Dear guest, the price you have paid has exceeded your current payment ability and credit limit."
Just when the number for this set of albums changed to 8.6 million, Tang Ling received the reminder.
"Really?" At this time, Tang Ling's eyes were red, but his expression was exceptionally calm.
In fact, after he made a big purchase and exchanged a batch of universal energy stones for transportation back to the base, he only had 800,000 resources on his membership card.
However, Tang Ling had a sub-high-end membership card with a huge capital limit.
That's why he could follow the bidding to reach more than 8 million sources.
Although, the auction house would not be so foolish as to think that people who can participate in this level of auction will have all the money on their membership crystal cards.
But at this point a reminder is appropriate.
"Yes. Distinguished guest, do you want to continue to participate in the auction? If you want to continue to participate in the auction, please provide new proof of assets, or" the pleasant female voice answered Tang Ling's question in a tone that would never change.
Tang Ling didn't say anything, but took out a test tube and a small box from the backpack he was carrying.
"These serve as proof of assets. New lots will be added later. If the auction fails, they will be used as collateral."
This was a very common behavior in the auction house. Tang Ling didn't need to say anything as he heard the system say 'ok'.
In less than ten seconds, staff appeared outside Tang Ling's egg and completed the handover with Tang Ling.
It has to be said that Auction House Zero was very efficient. After only half a minute, the system gave Tang Ling a reply. The items he mortgaged brought him a credit limit of 30 million yuan.
If Tang Ling's items fetch a higher price at auction, the price difference will be made up for Tang Ling.
This amount had to be said to be very high, but Tang Ling didn't feel excited at all.
Because this time he mortgaged the remaining eight drops of Poseidon's Tears and the skin given to him by the owner of the desert island to hold Poseidon's gifts.
The price of Poseidon's Tears is transparent because it was auctioned just now.
One drop is only about one million sources. The amount of eight drops may be higher, but it will not exceed 10 million sources.
The really expensive thing is the skin. How can the skin of a super-level ferocious beast be cheap? ! Tang Ling had every reason to believe that this animal skin would even set off a new auction climax.
Originally, Tang Ling was not planning to sell it. In his plan, he wanted to transform the animal skin into a pair of soft armor or something that could be worn next to the body.
Tang Ling gave the soft armor he got in the Hell Cliff challenge to Fatty casually. The soft armor was a bit useless for Tang Ling and it couldn't meet Tang Ling's needs anyway.
But as if destined, Tang Ling didn't take out the animal skin to transform it before participating in the auction. His original plan was to transform it when he had enough money, so he had to wait until the auction was over.
But what I didn't expect was that I would use this highly practical animal skin as collateral and then auction these useless album pages
Tang Ling rubbed his brows tiredly, and numbly continued to increase the price.
If you still can't buy this set of albums even with this mortgage, then you don't have to worry about it. After all, haven't you already been bidding with all your strength according to your inexplicable instinct
The price of this set of albums is still rising. From a numerical point of view, this increase is already a bit crazy, because the low price was only 3 million yuan, and now it has risen to 11 million yuan.
The host's expression was obviously excited. Tang Ling had every reason to believe that the host was excited not only because of the current price, but also because of the appearance of a new super beast skin.
But it's not without good news. Although the price is crazy, the increase has obviously slowed down. According to Tang Ling's judgment, two-thirds of the bidders should have stopped bidding.
When the price reached 10 million and 5 million yuan, the number changed again much slower.
By this time, there should be only three or four people left competing with Tang Ling.
When the price reached 18 million, there was only one person left, and it was that person who paid the price of 18 million.
Tang Ling may have been a little numb from the stimulation. At this time, he quoted the price of 20 million yuan in one breath.
If he still can't suppress that person, he will increase the price by five million, five million, and stop after reaching thirty million anyway!
Tang Ling had no intention of overdrafting any amount, because that would really affect his plan for the genetic medicine.
"Twenty million sources, the first time." At this time, the host dropped the hammer for the first time.
He didn't say anything inflammatory, but just used a slightly hasty tone. After all, the big shots here didn't like to be led by others.
No one raised the price.
"Twenty million sources, the second time." After waiting for a short time according to the standard time, the host dropped the hammer again.
Tang Ling's clenched fists became sweaty.
Finally, after waiting for a while, the host finally gave the third blow. After all, Tang Ling thought he had obtained this set of album pages at a high price that he could not have imagined before.
After announcing the deal, Tang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on his seat a little weakly.
Only now was his heart filled with an inexplicable feeling of regret. Why? Why am I so insistent on bidding for this set of albums
Just because of the previous reason? But the fact is that this set of albums has been scattered all over the world for a long time, and does the Star Council also have a large part of it
Tang Ling shook his head, too lazy to think, while the auction continued.
**
Although the base has become busy, the uneasiness in Bi'an's heart has not been diluted by this busyness.
She was still in the corner where she was reading on the deck before, watching from a distance as the transport ship from the Sochi black market transported boxes of supplies packed in boxes to the base.
Dongyang was in charge of these trivial matters, because there was no one else on the base except Tang Ling's closest companions, so everyone started to get busy moving these supplies back to the cabin.
"It seems that he is successful." Bian'an held his chin, not caring at all about what these supplies were. Just that the things he bought on the black market had arrived, which meant that everything was going smoothly for Tang Ling.
The temperature difference in the Ziyue era was huge. By this time, waves of cool night wind had begun to blow on the sea. The wind was mixed with the familiar fishy smell of the sea and a trace of inexplicable water vapor.
No one cared about this, but the other side frowned slightly and turned his head towards the direction where the night wind was blowing, looking at the distant sea behind him.
Tonight. It was an exceptionally clear night. Not only was the starry sky brilliant, but the sea was also very calm. Even if there was some night wind, the wind was gentle and did not cause any waves.
"But" Bian'an stood up, with a rare hint of worry in her eyes, and her originally vague uneasiness became real.
Although she saw nothing now.
In my ears, busy people are still discussing, 'Are these things going to be moved to the Harvest? Can Harvest fit it? 'Such a question.
On the other side, he suddenly became restless.

"Cai Wuzhu. Are you sure you don't want to come with me?" Standing on a rock, Wu Chanzhu looked at the girl in front of him who had the same blue hair as him and a face as beautiful as an elf under the moonlight. He frowned and asked again. once.
"Haha, together?" Facing Wu Chanzhu's inquiry, the girl known as Cai Wuzhu raised her eyebrows slightly, with disdain in her eyes.
If Tang Ling were present, he would think that this girl looked very familiar, because she looked exactly like Samuel, even though the girl looked petite and did not have the rare tall figure of Samuel.
"Yes, let's go together. Is there any problem with this?" Wu Chanzhu shook the trident in his hand, and a light mist surrounded him. During the simple conversation with Cai Wuzhu, the mist changed before his eyes. It became thicker, and in the distant sky, a wonderful scene could be seen.
A large amount of mist gathered there, and the mist surged like a tidal wave, flowing rapidly towards the rocks where Wu Chanzhu and Caiwuzhu stood.
It was impossible to see what was behind the gathering mist, but one could hear the sound of violent churning of sea water and bursts of shuddering roars.
"Of course there is a problem. For your great love, you obeyed that woman in everything. But I have my own will." Facing Wu Chanzhu's question, the disdain in Cai Wuzhu's eyes became even more intense.
"I'm doing it for the mermaid tribe." Wu Chanzhu argued, but in the night, you could see that his face turned red.
"It's also for that woman." Cai Wuzhu glanced sideways at Wu Chanzhu and chose to ignore the fog that was gradually becoming thicker around her.
"Well, the premise is also for the mermaid tribe. Moreover, my feelings are pure, you can't laugh at them." Wu Chanzhu still did not give up his defense. He looked at Caiwu Zhu and said: "I believe you don't want to accept the tribe. Because we grew up together, no one knows better than us that we are brother and sister and it is impossible to become a couple according to the arrangement within the clan."
"Cai Wuzhu, I have always regarded you as my sister."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Cai Wuzhu rolled her eyes. Not only did she look similar to Samuel, but her personality was also somewhat similar.
"I want to say, as brother and sister, shouldn't you?" Wu Chanzhu didn't seem to be a person who was very good at words.
"I'm sorry, even if we have deep feelings, I will not act with you. Are you afraid that the guy in the fog is beyond your control and cannot meet the expectations of that woman, so you need my help? I Again, I have my own will." Cai Wuzhu rejected Wu Chanzhu again.
"But clan elders?" Wu Chanzhu wanted to say something else.
But Cai Wuzhu had already jumped into the water with a 'pop' at this time, and a few seconds later a head emerged from the water: "Don't try to use the clan elders to suppress me. Wu Chanzhu, you know I hate this kind of restraint very much. ! You may not accept it, otherwise why don’t you become my partner honestly?”
When Wu Chanzhu heard these words, his face changed and he started to stutter again: "Is it difficult for you to think about it?"
"Dream. No one likes me, and I won't like a fool like you who lacks intelligence and is easily taken advantage of. You will be taught a lesson, but I don't intend to control you or persuade you. So, don't try to restrain me. "After saying this, Cai Wuzhu swam away into the distance.
Wu Chanzhu's veins suddenly swelled: "Sama is not a liar. You are full of prejudice against her because she is a human being. You have no idea how good Sama is."
"I just want to remind you that the devil's fog is not that simple. Otherwise, how could a devil's flower like the Seven Lotuses be nourished?! Don't think that everything is the same as usual in the death fog area." Facing Wu Snake Cai Wuzhu didn't want to respond to his thoughts at all, but just reminded Wu Chanzhu.
"I know, this is the most important battle for the mermaid tribe, me." Wu Chanzhu once again tried to explain something to Cai Wuzhu, but Cai Wuzhu had already swam away far away. On the dark sea, there was nowhere else. There is her shadow.
Looking at the slightly turbulent sea, Wu Chanzhu sighed softly.
The colorful dance beads hidden behind another reef not far away said bitterly: "Then Sama is really so kind and likes you so much, why would he let you do such dangerous things in the death fog area?" ?”
"I wish you good luck, Wu Chanzhu."
"And I'm going to find that Tang Ling." As she spoke, Cai Wuzhu raised her right hand, holding a piece of clothing in her hand.
The fragments of clothing were obviously Tang Ling's. If Tang Ling were here, he would even be able to recall that this was a piece of tattered clothing that he changed into after escaping to Xuanshi Island.
At the same time, I will also be curious, how did it end up in the hands of a mermaid? What's the use of holding a piece of her own rags
**
The sea breeze was still blowing, blowing up the thick black hair of the other side, just like blowing the heaviness that had turned into sadness in the other side's eyes.
"Bian, you have been standing here for almost half an hour. Did something happen?" After hesitating for a while, Dongyang finally decided to ask Bian.
Although according to the habits on the other side, this may not necessarily have any results. Because the other side will never say anything that he is not sure or unsure about.
Sure enough, the other side is silent.
Dongyang opened his mouth, but still didn't decide to give up.
Because the other side rarely has emotions, but at this time her anxiety was almost felt by even West Wind. Not only that, the other side also suddenly ordered the base to increase its power and sail towards a certain coordinate in the southwest. According to the plan, that coordinate point is where the Harvest will eventually arrive.
They will return to the Harvest again at that coordinate point. But the key point of the plan is for everyone to return to the Harvest, which means they have to wait until Tang Ling comes back.
Now that Tang Ling has not come back, if he does this, then Tang Ling Dongyang knows that no one cares about Tang Ling more than Bian An, and if he suddenly decides to do this, something serious must have happened.
The reason why Dongyang can become the leader of the four sons in the southeast and northwest is that he is definitely not a brainless and simple-minded person.
"Is it because of the fat man?" Dongyang decided to ask from the side.
After all, Fatty's condition is very weird. It has been more than two hours since he was in coma, and there is no sign of waking up. Even though he was given two tubes of the best energy potion luxuriously, this is beyond what the other side said. My body is overdrawn.
"No, Fatty is fine, he will wake up." Bi'an denied Dongyang's statement.
"Ban'an, please tell me. I'm already starting to feel uneasy." Since it wasn't the fat man's problem, Dongyang also became inexplicably anxious.
He decided not to beat around the bush with the other side, he needed an answer.
"It was Tang Ling's order before he left." Bi'an looked into the distance, towards the direction where the night wind was blowing, and frowned again.
I have chosen to stay away in time according to my own feelings. But why is the strange smell of water vapor in the wind blowing stronger and stronger
Bian'an's talent and instinct are very special. She knows that she has definitely not chosen the wrong direction. This is definitely the direction to stay away from.
"Before Tang Ling left? Did you leave a message? What made it so serious?" Dongyang raised his eyebrows. If Tang Ling had given special instructions to the other side before leaving, wouldn't it be serious
"It's the Devil's Mist. Tang Ling said that once you find the Devil's Mist appearing, stay away immediately." Bian'an no longer concealed Dongyang.
"Ah? But" Dongyang was very surprised. The death fog area that he had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared.
That is the place where the most important Seven Lotus stamens are located, why should we stay away? Now only the netherworld fish has been found, and there is no news about the once easiest resource to find, the mutated three-color sea beads. In this case, do you still have to give up the seven lotus pistils
In addition, isn't it said that in this resource season, mutated three-color sea beads will only appear when the devil's fog forms a death fog area
Bi'an did not answer Dongyang's question, because Tang Ling did not give any detailed explanation to Bi'an before leaving. He just firmly said to stay away, and also mentioned some ways to deal with emergencies.
For some reason, Bian An could feel the uneasiness coming from Tang Ling's heart from the moment Tang Ling ordered her.
But now, this uneasiness has become real in her heart!
Don't wait for me to update. My jet lag is so messed up that I can't deal with it now. I still hope everyone has a good time difference. This is just this chapter today, I haven’t made up any word count I owe. The final climax of Storm Voyage is coming, I have to write it well
