BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1101 - This Prodigal
Chapter 1101: This Prodigal
The bidding began and the price hit 1.5 million in an instant. At this time, it was uncommon for anyone to bid higher—after all, this weapon could only be sold for over two million.
“1.8 million.” At this moment, a rich man bid 1.8 million. “If there are no higher bids, I want this piece of equipment.”
“1.8 million! 1.8 million! Anything higher?” The host asked loudly.
No one bid higher—the profit was not significant. There was no need to offend anyone over it, right?
“Congratulations, Sir. You got this Taohua Soul Subduing Sword for 1.8 million. You can earn one million if you sell this on the market. You’re in luck. It’s like money falling from the sky!”
The first godly item had been sold.
Several godly-level pieces later were found to be superb artifacts. The better ones had a market price of three to five million. The cheaper ones were 200,000 to 300,000. The expensive ones were put up on auction, the cheaper ones, priced at about ten thousand, were given out—everyone was happy.
Finally, Hong Dali had the last purple glow godly-level equipment left. He took a deep breath and took off the button with a snap.
It was a pair of steel sabatons? When the glow subsided from the surface, the appraiser was dumbfounded.
“This... this... this...” The appraiser took over the shoes and looked up, down, left, right for a very long while. Finally, he shouted with a hoarse voice, “Radiant Sage Suit Sabatons! Radiant Sage Suit Sabatons!”
“What?!” Hearing that this piece of equipment could actually be obtained through treasure gambling, everyone was flabbergasted!
Bei Mingxuan was stunned. Hua Yueling was stunned. Ye Wuyou and the chiefs of the other families were stunned as well.
A pair of vambraces was just sold at the Shenglong Royal Auction House. Now a pair of sabatons?!
“Get it. We must get it!” Bei Mingxuan contacted the family head of the Liu Family, Liu Mingyi. “See those sabatons? If Hong Dali puts it up for bidding, we must get it no matter how much it costs!”
Hua Yueling narrowed her eyes. “The Bei Family will definitely want those shoes. It’s just whether Dali will sell them or not.”
At this moment, all the chiefs of the big families all had their attention on the Radiant Sage Suit sabatons.
They were chiefs of big families, after all. Zhu Yunzhou already had four pieces of the Radiant Sage Suit. Now that a fifth piece had appeared, he was sure to buy it. After all, although it belonged to the same suit, the effect was different. This Radiant Sage Suit was forged by a master craftsman of the Shenglong Royal Family. The attributes were very powerful. Even among the purple glow godly-level equipment, it was considered one of the highest-end suits.
The host had a brief conversation with Hong Dali and then shouted, “Everyone, I have sought Young Master Hong Dali’s opinion just now. Young Master Hong Dali has decided to...”
He paused for a while, then continued, “sell this Radiant Sage Suit sabatons!”
Sell it! Hong Dali actually said to sell this pair of sabatons!
Bei Mingxuan was momentarily stunned, then he held his stomach and laughed out loud. “Hahahahaha. Hong Dali, you’re good, indeed. You are the Bei and Zhu Families’ lucky star! You’re actually selling it!”
Hua Yueling was clearly briefly stunned. She frowned and thought for a while, then mumbled. “He actually chose to sell them? Doesn’t he know that Zhu Yunzhou has this suit?”
Thinking up to this point, Hua Yueling was about to ask Hua Xiangyu to inform Hong Dali. But after she thought for a while, she finally decided not to. “Forget it. Anyway, it’s just the fifth piece. There won’t be any full suit attributes. Sweetheart Dali should still know that Zhu Yunzhou has the Radiant Sage Suit though. I need to let him know when this ends.”
Since she had decided, she was in no hurry to step in. She arranged for a few people to raise the price against the Bei Family.
“Alright, ladies and gentlemen.” The host said, “Radiant Sage Suit sabatons, starting bid of ten thousand. Anyone who is interested may start bidding.”
This was a superb piece of equipment. One of the highest-end suits among purple glow godly-level equipment. Although the starting bid was ten thousand, people would naturally not be naive to think that it could be bought for just ten thousand.
“One billion.” As the Bei Family’s lackey, Liu Mingyi was the first to put up his card.
“1.5 billion.” On the other end, one of the chiefs also raised his card. Everyone looked over to see that it was the chief of the Wang Family. They shared a rather good relationship with the Hong Family. It seemed he had received instructions from Hua Yueling.
Bei Mingxuan had given the death order for the Radiant Sage Suit sabatons. He must have it. Hence, Liu Mingyi followed up without a word. “Two billion.”
“2.5 billion.” The Hong Family continued to raise the bid.
“Three billion.” There was no hesitation in Liu Mingyi’s part.
“Four billion.”
“Five billion.”
The price was raised to five billion in an instant. The audience was stunned. This was too scary. The price went up to five billion in just a few bids?
At this price, the person over at the Hong Family finally shook his head. “I give up.”
“Good!” Bei Mingxuan slapped his thigh fiercely and laughed. “With these sabatons, with just a little more luck, we will be able to gather all six pieces of the suit. By then, we will be mighty, hahaha!”
It was no wonder Bei Mingxuan was so happy. The Radiant Sage Suit was one of the top few among godly-level suits. It was much more powerful compared to Hua Xiangyu’s Wings of Starry Sky.
At present, when the date of the challenge came, Hong Xingyu would definitely be wearing the Wings of Starry Sky suit. Originally, Zhu Yunzhou did not have any particularly good equipment to deal with. With this Radiant Sage Suit, things would be completely different.
Now that all the godly-level equipment had been unsealed, the host announced. “Alright, dear ladies and gentlemen, I believe today’s event has been quite satisfactory for everyone. Clearly, we still have many pieces of equipment yet to be unsealed. Hence, Young Master Dali announced that the unsealing convention will continue the day after tomorrow at the same time!”
“Yes! Hahahaha! Great! I’ll come again, then!””Yes, there are good pieces of equipment to get and it’s exciting to watch. Anyone who doesn’t come is stupid!””I must be early, then. Hahahaha. It feels too good!”
The audience’s eyes lit up. Those who did not manage to get any equipment all rubbed their palms in anticipation of the second event 2 days later.
The audience then left the arena with contentment and waited for the event to continue two days later.
Those who got equipment had even postponed all activities the day after in order to come again!
...
“Haha, Master Bei, I did not let you down. I managed to get the equipment.” Liu Mingyi chuckled and entered Bei Mingxuan’s VIP room. He placed carefully the pair of Radiant Sage Suit sabatons on the table and smiled. “Five billion is not considered a very high price, the important thing is that this is a very good piece of equipment.”
“Hehe, good job.” Bei Mingxuan picked up the sabatons and looked at them carefully, then he said contently, “With this pair of sabatons, Old Zhu is only short of one piece to gain the full attributes of the suit. If all six pieces are put together, the chance of winning will increase by a whole level! The attributes of this Radiant Sage Suit are quite powerful. This is money well spent!”
Six pieces of Radiant Sage Suit would greatly improve the resistance to abilities. Facing Hong Xingyu, whose attacks were mainly dealt with using his ability, this effect was extremely important.
“As long as the Zhu Family has a use for it, it’s good.” Liu Mingyi quickly took the opportunity to fawn on them. “Take this pair of sabatons as my sponsorship to the Zhu Family. When the Zhu Family wins, don’t forget me.”
“Ah? How can we accept it, hahahaha!” Although he said that, Bei Mingyi had no intention to pay. “Alright, it’s set, then! When Old Zhu wins, we won’t forget you! Compared to these five billion, the benefits will be more than appropriate! At least I know that there are several big companies worth hundreds of billions under Old Zhu. When the time comes, he might give you one of them.”
“I will thank you in advance, then.” Hearing that, Liu Mingyi grinned from ear to ear.
What was five billion? As long as Zhu Yunzhou won the challenge and gave him one of his companies worth hundreds of billions each, this transaction would be worthwhile!
...
In the Hong Family’s VIP room.
“They indeed bought it.” Hua Xiangyu sat beside Hua Yueling as she pouted and said, slightly depressed. “Great-grandmother, I’ll nag at Big Brother Dali when he returns tonight. How can he sell such a good piece of equipment? He even let the Bei Family have it. It’s too maddening.”
She shared the same thinking as the other members of the Hong Family. Hearing that, the other family members began discussing. “Exactly, this Hong Dali is too hateful! He actually sold such a good piece of equipment!””Yes. Fine if he sold it, but he actually sold it to the Bei Family! Zhu Yunzhou owns five pieces of the suit now. Another piece and our chief will be in danger.””This prodigal, I’ll definitely give him a beating when I see him!”
“This kid Dali.” Hua Yueling frowned, then she thought carefully and broke into a smile. “Hahaha, Yu’er ah, if I’m not wrong, he’ll send someone over before you look for him.”
“Ah?” Hua Xiangyu was briefly stunned. She did not understand what Hua Yueling meant.
Just then, a guard came to report. “Reporting to Old Madam, Ye Family’s Ye Wuyou requests for an audience.”
“Haha, indeed!” Hua Yueling laughed and said loudly, “Invite him in!” She pounded her walking stick on the ground. “I have something important to discuss with him. The rest of you may return to do whatever you need to do.”
