Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 714: Chapter 714: National Demon Sprite (5)

”Don’t fight.”

With these words, several people left one after another.

Chuzheng patted his shoulder, ”Be more polite next time, don’t cut in line.”

The man: ”...”

The sensation of someone squeezing that inner core just now made the man dare not retaliate, and he dejectedly went to the back, never daring to utter another word.

The Monster Qi on Chuzheng’s body had retracted quite a bit and didn’t seem as formidable as Yu Su had felt before, so to the man, Chuzheng appeared to be just a Xiao Yao. Little did he know how terrifying she could be.

-

Chuzheng sat in a private room on the second floor, with a booklet by her side.

Yu Su and two followers stood next to her.

”Why don’t you sit? Why stand there?” Standing and swaying made her head spin.

”I... may I sit down?” Yu Su pointed to himself.

He was still in disbelief even after sitting down, followed by excitement.

To think that the boss would let him sit on an equal footing with her.

If Chuzheng knew his thoughts, she could probably only respond with a roll of her eyes.

Chuzheng casually flipped through the booklet, the front of which listed the auction rules, while the back showcased all the items for auction today.

Not just this auction house, but the items from other auction houses were also listed here.

They really went all out to uncover potential clients.

Chuzheng turned to the last page, where she finally saw the inner cores.

There were neither too many nor too few inner cores for auction today, exactly three.

Each of the three inner cores was marked with a year and from what kind of demon...

”There’s even a Hundred-Year Inner Pill.” Yu Su was surprised: ”Nowadays, it’s tough to see century-old Great Demons alive.”

”Are century-old ones rare?”

”Not really,” Yu Su shook his head: ”Thirty years ago, when everyone awoke, the century-old ones were at the bottom rung, but after that great battle, those demons either died or were injured. They haven’t dared to show themselves easily in these thirty years. Now, most demons have only cultivated into being in the last thirty years.”

”Wasn’t it forbidden to turn into spirits after the founding of the country?”

”...” Yu Su coughed: ”The thunder that lasted three days and three nights thirty years ago gave many things spiritual intelligence. With diligent cultivation, it’s quite easy to transform.”

They couldn’t explain the reason for that thunder calamity.

But that thunder calamity indeed brought benefits to both humans and demons.

The previous host had not woken up thirty years ago but instead awoke thirty years later...

Why was that?

Could it be due to oversleeping?

”Did all demons awaken thirty years ago?”

”So I’ve heard.” Yu Su, being a newbie demon, also heard about things from thirty years ago from others: ”However, many Great Demons didn’t participate in that great battle and chose to live in seclusion. Otherwise, humans would have no say, and it would have been our demon’s world by now.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Quite an idealistic view.

But for thousands of years, the natural law has prevailed, the Immortals have become history, and humans still exist, proving that the ultimate winners are humans.

Yu Su said the thunder calamity of thirty years was a gift.

But Chuzheng did not think so.

She felt more like they were supplements for humans...

”These inner cores must be very expensive.” Yu Su said: ”A century-old one, ah, there will be so many people vying for it.”

Chuzheng dropped the booklet, her voice calm, ”I’m not short of money.”

Yu Su: ”...”

That’s the boss for you.

The second floor offered a view of the situation below. After sitting for a while and noticing the growing crowd below, Yu Su immediately went to the one-way glass to look down.

The glass was one-way, so he wasn’t worried about being seen by the people below.

Once the seats were filled, the auction officially began.

”Thank you all for attending today. I see quite a few new faces; it seems everyone is very interested in the inner cores at auction today...”

The Auctioneer began with a humorous and witty opening.

He quickly riled up the atmosphere below.

”As you may have seen in the introduction, among today’s lots, there is a Hundred-Year Inner Pill. Therefore, our auction method today is to package them together; all three inner cores will be auctioned off as a bundle.”

”What?”

”How can we even get a chance at it now!”

”Auctioning all three together, how are we supposed to bid!”

”I’m letting go of the century-old one, can’t afford it, but the other two, I could still give it a shot.”

”What does this mean!!”

When the Auctioneer finished speaking, an uproar erupted from the crowd below.

Although there had been bundled auctions in the past, those were for larger quantities.

Today, there are only three.

This item isn’t available every day, once today is over, who knows how long you’ll have to wait, and those who intended to bid on the other two are surely not willing to let that opportunity slip by.

”The rule is set like this, please don’t get agitated.”

The auctioneer soothed the crowd.

It took some effort to calm down the audience.

Of course, the rules remained unchanged.

The auction house is an autocracy.

They do whatever they want.

Capriciously.

”The starting bid for the three inner cores is three million.”

A starting bid of three million isn’t high, in fact, it’s quite low.

But this is just the starting price!

How high will it eventually go afterward, who knows.

Hundred-Year Inner Pills are hard to come by these days.

”Three million five hundred thousand!”

The first to bid was someone from below.

Even if they knew their chances were slim, they still wanted to try, in case by some fluke it landed on them!

Auctioneer: ”Three million five hundred thousand is valid.”

”Three million six hundred thousand.”

”Three million six hundred thousand is valid.”

Each bid must be increased by at least one hundred thousand.

”Three million seven hundred thousand!”

”Three million seven hundred thousand is valid.”

”Four million!”

...

The people below, whether out of spite or something else, started to drive up the price one after another.

The price soared up like a rocket instantly.

Chuzheng rested her chin in one hand, not looking at the stage but at the opposite side.

There are a total of ten rooms on the second floor like this one, and even more on the third floor...

Those with real purchasing power are all in these rooms.

”Boss, aren’t we going to bid?” so much money, having been a Demon Sprite for so long, he had never seen so much money.

”It’s just getting started, why the rush.” The boss, of course, would only make a move at the end.

Could one not be anxious?

With this momentum, would they be able to snatch it?

”How much was the highest bid in the past?” Chuzheng started chatting with Yu Su.

Yu Su replied weakly: ”A Hundred-Year Inner Pill, the highest bid I’ve heard of was thirty million...”

Only thirty million.

Chuzheng shook her head.

Yu Su: ”...”

What did it mean when the boss shook her head?

Was that too expensive?

-

Third floor private room.

Li Xiaoyu stood in front of the window with her arms crossed, her seductive face pale and somewhat unhealthy in appearance.

Li Yan stood behind her, his arm wrapped in gauze and hanging around his neck.

Hearing the escalating price below, he couldn’t help but worry: ”Miss, will we be able to secure this inner core today?”

”No matter how much it costs, you have to win the bid for me.” There was a flash of ruthlessness in Li Xiaoyu’s eyes: ”I need to recover from my injuries as soon as possible.”

”Yes.”

Li Yan paused: ”I just saw people from the second miss’s side, she must be here as well.”

Li Xiaoyu scoffed: ”She thinks she can compete with me, let’s see if she has the capability.”

The Li Family is large and wealthy, but they have no sons, only two daughters.

Yet these two daughters are at odds with each other.

By this time, the second floor had already started bidding.

The second floor operates by turning on lights, and the price is directly displayed on the glass screen outside the rooms.
