"Lin An? Lin An?" Seeing that the girl didn't respond after he called her twice, Chen Chu had no choice but to reach out and tap twice on the table beside the girl.
Lin Yan, who was immersed in the attributes of the old man sticker, came back to her senses and looked at Chen Chu a little dazedly.
"The auction has begun." Chen Chu motioned Lin Ping to look ahead.
Lin Yan looked up and saw a hot beauty standing on the stage, holding a small hammer in her hand and introducing the products to everyone.
"The first lot today is the Midnight Orchid. Midnight Orchid is one of the few plants with supernatural powers that survived the catastrophe of the subspace. It has the function of regulating the Qi and relieving injuries. Although the effect cannot be compared with the energy channeling of wood-type supernaturals, it is better in that it can be carried around and does not require the assistance of wood-type supernaturals to take it. It is a life-saving medicine for supernaturals to prolong their Qi and relieve pain." After the auctioneer finished the introduction, his eyes swept over the whole process, and he announced with a smile, "The bidding will start now, starting at 500,000 points, and each bid increase must be at least 10,000 points."
"Five hundred thousand."
"Five hundred and ten thousand."
"Six hundred thousand."
After several rounds of bidding, Ziyelan was finally auctioned off for 600,000 yuan.
"Is this Midnight Orchid so expensive?" Lin Xi had been studying a lot of information on supernatural materials in the past two days, but after all, she had only been exposed to it for a short time and still had many blind spots in knowledge.
"Midnight Orchid is a specialty of the A-level subspace Kongye City. You can only get one Midnight Orchid every time you open the subspace, and you can't get it every time, so there are not many in the world. In addition, it has therapeutic effects, so the price will naturally be more expensive." Chen Chu knew that Lin Xi's knowledge in this area was relatively lacking, so he explained carefully.
"The auctioneer just said that the healing effect of this Midnight Orchid is not as good as the energy channeling of wood-type mutants. So how much is one energy channeling opportunity worth?" Lin Wei asked curiously.
"You want to sell the opportunity of energy channeling?" Chen Chu knew that Lin Xi had an opportunity of energy channeling. The wood energy crystal that Lin Xi handed over was taken out by him from Sadako's long hair.
"I just want to know how many points I have."
Chen Chu then said, "Energy channeling opportunities are rare. In the official organization, if you want to get an opportunity for energy channeling, in addition to paying a million points as a reward, you also need to accumulate a certain amount of merit. Only when you have enough merit will the official organization assign a wood-type psychic to channel your energy. There was once a psychic who asked for a transfer in the forum, and the offer at that time seemed to be 2 million points."
"Am I... am I that rich?" Oh my god, it's doubled, not just one hundred yuan, but one million yuan. If she sells this outside, she will be a multi-millionaire, and tens of millions.
"But I suggest you not to sell it. This is a chance to save your life." Chen Chu suggested sincerely, "Whether you are injured in battle or the energy riots when your superpowers are advanced, you need a wood-type superpower to channel the energy."
Although wood energy crystals are rare, it is even rarer to find a trustworthy wood-type psychic. During the energy channeling process, the psychic being channeled must expose his meridians to the wood-type psychic without any defense. If the wood-type psychic wants to kill or cripple a psychic at this time, it will be very easy. Therefore, even if a psychic obtains a wood energy crystal, he dare not easily find a wood-type psychic for energy channeling. In this comparison, a wood-type psychic with official endorsement is much more trustworthy.
"I know, I'll just ask." Lin Yan is not stupid. The opportunity to channel energy is so rare that she won't sell it casually. If she wants to sell it, she must find a suitable opportunity and offer a price that she can't refuse.
After the first item was auctioned, the second and third items followed, and it was not until the sixth item that the six groups of members finally got the items they needed.
"The sixth lot is the Cursed Eye."
When Lin Xi heard the words "Cursed Eye", she immediately sat up straight and stared at the big screen with wide eyes. She saw a dark brown stone on the big screen. It was round and the size of a pigeon egg, with some special runes engraved all over it.
"The Cursed Eye is a tool for great curse masters. Wearing the Cursed Eye allows one to see all curses below S-level and avoid them in advance. If a curse master wears it, it can help deepen their understanding of curses. Due to its special properties, the Cursed Eye is also a tool for climbing the Soul Locking Tower in the S-dimensional space. Wearing the Cursed Eye, even a D-level psychic can easily enter and exit the first six floors of the Soul Locking Tower. Bidding starts now, with a starting price of 800,000 points."
"810,000."
"850,000."
"900,000."
"…" Lin Yan had just picked up a sign when the Cursed Eye suddenly increased by 100,000 points. "It increased so quickly. I don't know if the points given by the Dirty King are enough to buy it."
"How many points did the King of Dirt give?" Chen Chu asked.
"1.3 million. He said if it exceeds that he will..." Lin Xi suddenly paused, glanced at Chen Chu and said nothing.
Chen Chu raised his eyebrows, and intuitively felt that this might have something to do with him, so he couldn't help but ask, "What?"
“Just… just don’t do that.” Lin Yan avoided her gaze guiltily.
Chen Chu was a little skeptical, because this was not the style of the guys in the group, but seeing that Lin Yan was unwilling to say more, he did not continue to ask, and turned around to continue paying attention to the Cursed Eye on the stage.
Seeing this, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief and almost let the cat out of the bag. When she woke up in the morning, Wu Wang privately chatted with her and asked her to take a picture of the Cursed Eye. Lin Yan casually asked if she would still buy it if the auction price exceeded 1.3 million. Wu Wang's answer was that if she still couldn't buy it at 1.3 million, then Chen Chu was not good enough.
Lin Xi still doesn’t understand why Chen Chu can’t buy the Cursed Eye with 1.3 million
"1000000."
At this time, someone had already raised the price to 1 million.
"Is there anyone who wants to bid more?" The beautiful auctioneer glanced at the people in the room and began to count down, "One million at a time, one million..."
"1.01 million!" Lin Xi quickly raised the sign.
"1.05 million." The psychic who had just bid one million glanced at Lin Yan and added another forty thousand.
"1.06 million." Lin Xi was not willing to be outdone. She raised the price by another ten thousand in a tone of raising the price by one hundred thousand.
Seeing that it was Lin Yan again, the man also added 10,000 with the same momentum: "1.07 million."
This time, she didn’t raise the amount to 1.1 million in one go. She must be running out of points. Lin Yan felt relieved and continued to raise the sign: “1.08 million.”
She was a little thirsty after shouting, and even grabbed a piece of watermelon to eat in between shouting.
The man opposite was furious when he saw that Lin Yan still had time to eat watermelon: "If you have the guts, why don't you add 100,000 in one go? Why are you shouting 10,000 at a time?"
Lin Yan was eating watermelon and couldn't speak, so she swallowed it quickly. Just as she was about to answer, she heard a soft female voice suddenly rang out: "1.2 million."
"Before I came here, my father specifically told me that I must bid for this Cursed Eye. Please give the White Tiger Group some face." Tang Lanyue stood in the middle of the scene and spoke to everyone in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. Because she knew that those who were bidding in the front were not strong enough, and those who were really capable of buying the Cursed Eye would usually bid at the end.
White Tiger Group? Lin Yan took out her phone and quickly searched for information about the White Tiger Group in the internal forum.
[White Tiger Team: One of the four ace teams of the Imperial Capital's Supernatural Department. Team leader Tang Tianyuan is an S-level earth-type supernaturalist.]
"1.25 million." Everyone was still discussing in a low voice, and a strong voice sounded in the middle of the room right after Tang Lanyue's words.
Who is this? He doesn’t even give face to the White Tiger Group.
Tang Lanyue's face changed slightly. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a square-faced man in a black uniform sitting lazily in the back row, holding a sign in his hand.
The middle-aged man saw Tang Lanyue looking at him and chuckled, "Miss Tang, I'm sorry, but our Xuanwu Group also wants the Cursed Eye."
Xuanwu Group? Lin Yan could guess without checking this time. Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Xuanwu, Vermillion Bird. The names were so easy to associate with each other. It was definitely another trump card among the four trump cards of the imperial capital.
"Team Leader Yuan, I want the Cursed Eye so that I can enter the Soul Locking Tower to find a prop to lift the curse. The Soul Locking Tower is about to open, and we urgently need this Cursed Eye. I wonder if Team Leader Yuan can let us have it once. After that, my White Tiger Team will do our best to help you find another Cursed Eye. I hope that Team Leader Yuan can help us." Tang Lanyue recognized the square-faced man. He was Yuan Kuan, the deputy leader of the Xuanwu Team.
"I'm afraid not. We also have to enter the Soul Locking Tower." Yuan Kuan said.
The two were of equal status, had equal power behind them, and both wanted the Eye of Curse. The scene suddenly became quiet, leaving only the two people staring at each other. On the stage, the beautiful auctioneer also paused her work and did not dare to urge him.
Everyone else was watching the show quietly, but Lin Yan had a mission to accomplish. She had promised the King of Wu that she would help him take pictures of the Cursed Eye, but now she felt that she couldn't do it. She even didn't dare to raise the sign.
Lin Xi turned to look at Chen Chu, only to see Chen Chu looking down at his phone, not knowing what he was looking at.
Lin Xi thought about it, silently reached out and gently poked Chen Chu's arm.
Chen Chu raised his eyes and looked at Lin Yan in confusion. Lin Yan lowered her head to type and handed the phone to Chen Chu to look at.
[I promised the King of Dirt that I would bid for the Cursed Eye, but now, can I not bid for it?]
Chen Chu didn't know why Lin Yan was typing, but he still responded by typing on his phone: "If you want to shout, shout."
After reading it, Lin Yan felt relieved and raised her sign decisively: "1.3 million."
With her shout, the quiet atmosphere in the field was suddenly broken, and everyone's eyes were all focused on Lin Xi.
Who is this warrior who dares to speak at this time
Lin Yan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, but she still withstood the pressure and shouted to the stage again: "1.3 million."
She raised the price to 1.3 million in one breath, which was the limit of the King of Dirty and the dividing point to prove whether Chen Chu could do it.
King of Dirty, I have done my best for you. If anyone raises the price again, I will not care.
The beautiful auctioneer finally came back to her senses and loudly repeated Lin Yan's offer on the stage: "Number 12, bid 1.3 million, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"
Tang Lanyue had seen Lin Yan before, and when she saw that it was her who made the offer, she subconsciously looked at a figure beside Lin Yan, hesitating and not speaking. Yuan Kuan, however, looked Lin Yan up and down, frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Lin Yan." Lin Yan introduced herself.
Yuan Kuan searched his memory, and not only him, but also those who heard Lin Yan's name for the first time were searching their memories for Lin Yan, but they found nothing. This was even more strange, because anyone who could enter the auction had a certain status in the supernatural world, but no one had heard of Lin Yan.
"Which department are you from? Why do you have to go to the Soul Locking Tower?" Yuan Kuan asked.
"I'm from Jincheng Group 6. My colleague wants the Cursed Eye. I don't know whether he can enter the Soul Locking Tower." Lin Yan didn't hide it. This was an official auction. Even if she didn't reveal her identity now, it would be easy to find out later. So she might as well say it out loud.
Jincheng Group Six, a third-level supernatural organization
"We want the Cursed Eye." As he spoke, Yuan Kuan's aura changed, and a surge of energy vibrated out and expanded in the direction of Lin Xi.
This is a deterrent. In this world of supernatural powers where the strong prey on the weak, I am using absolute power to tell you that you are not qualified to compete with me.
Just when Yuan Kuan's supernatural power was about to pass Chen Chu and hit Lin Yan, Chen Chu suddenly raised his hand and waved his palm backwards casually. An even more powerful energy directly defeated Yuan Kuan's energy and blasted back.
After the energy passed, there was a "bang" sound, and the chair behind Yuan Kuan was smashed to pieces by this energy.
S-level?!
Yuan Kuan looked at Chen Chu in horror.
Chen Chu took the sign from the stunned Lin Yan and turned to look at Yuan Kuan: "1.3 million, do you want to raise the price?"
Yuan Kuan's face turned pale and blue. He was about to use his power to intimidate others, but he was intimidated by others when he turned around. Although the Xuanwu Group also had S-level psychics, they were not at the scene after all, so he couldn't grab them even if he wanted to. Yuan Kuan couldn't stand up, but when he wanted to sit down, the chair under him was broken into pieces. In the end, he just threw his sleeves and left the auction site.
Tang Lanyue sat down the moment Chen Chu made his move, making her attitude clear with her actions.
Chen Chu retracted his gaze and turned to the auctioneer on the stage. The auctioneer immediately understood: "1.3 million once, 1.3 million twice, 1.3 million three times, deal."
Chen Chu then returned the sign to Lin Yan, who took it in a daze. Only then did she understand the meaning of the sentence in the King of Dirty's WeChat message.
It’s more than OK, it’s amazing!
