Chapter 152: Getting What You Want
Li Ding only added 500,000.
When his slightly trembling fingers completed the number on the small square box, the words 42.5 million immediately appeared on the crystal plate in front of him, and Li Ding looked at the flashing green characters in a trance, but the characters disappeared in a moment.
The characters on a window on the third floor on the left showed 44 million, and the other party directly added 1.5 million. Stunned for a moment, Li Ding looked at Gongshui in surprise, but saw him motioning to let him look at the other side, turned his head and Li Ding found that on a window on the second floor opposite, the price had become forty-five million.
Li Ding's fingers froze there, because he found that the window was the No. 8 private room where the Water Blue Sword was photographed before, and he didn't know if he should increase the price again, but at this moment's hesitation, the characters on the window on the third floor on the left showed the words 46.5 million, and it was directly added by 1.5 million.
With every price increase, the crowd in the audience will let out a burst of exclamation, which will also make Li Ding's heart beat violently. However, what Li Ding didn't know was that someone was as shocked, anxious, and even angry as him.
In the private room on the third floor opposite, a black-faced bearded man with round eyes and thunderous roar, and a beautiful woman half-lying on the soft couch opposite him, although there was also a little anger in her eyes, she tried her best to maintain a due calm.
"Damn*, I don't believe it yet, and he'll follow another 1.5 million. The bearded man said furiously, his eyes staring viciously at room eight on the second floor.
"What if he really follows? He can't add any more, there is only 50 million gold coins in the crystal card. The beautiful woman said with a hint of languidness in her voice.
"Hmph. The bearded man slammed his fist on the crystal plate of the window, but for a moment, his expression froze.
Because on the window of another private room on the second floor opposite him, the price suddenly showed forty-seven million.
"Damn*, it's this one again, if he hadn't raised the price indiscriminately, the price wouldn't have gone straight to 40 million, you have to know who watched me kill him. The bearded man said angrily.
"Gusang City is mixed, and the masters of the hidden world abound, maybe people really want it? Don't make trouble for yourself, although it is rare to see such a local martial art as Lei Jian Jue, it is an ominous thing after all, you must know if someone coveted this martial art to destroy Leijiabao back then. The beautiful woman said.
"But I finally met one, and I was not reconciled. The bearded man glared at the woman.
"The Thunder Arrow Technique is indeed suitable for the cultivation of the realm, but this martial art has disappeared for so many years, and there must be something hidden when it suddenly appears, it is good to be able to get it, and if it cannot be obtained, it is not forced. I don't know who will put it up for auction at this time, and I can't tell if there is any conspiracy behind it. The beautiful woman said with a gloomy face.
"Is that still going to be added?" asked the bearded man, with a fierce look in his eyes.
The woman thought for a moment, nodded lightly, and said, "The last two can only be stopped if the price exceeds 51 million." ”
"Hmph. The bearded man snorted heavily, turned and sat down at the table, his fingers resting on the small box.
Here, when Li Ding gritted his teeth and increased the price to 47 million, he was nervously staring at the private room on the third floor and the No. 8 private room on the second floor opposite. However, if Li Ding knew that the bearded man on the third floor just regarded him as a troublemaker, he might have laughed bitterly.
Silence, strange silence, Li Ding could clearly hear his heartbeat, he didn't know if Xiao Dan was as nervous as him at this time, but he knew that Xiao Dan would never let him waste such an opportunity.
On the high platform, Miss Zhong also watched without saying a word, at this time she didn't need to say much, everyone knew that the silence was full of gunpowder, and in this case she was just a spectator. However, for Li Ding, what he experienced was not only surprise and nervousness.
"...... Uproar"
Amid the exclamations from the audience, the words 48 million were displayed on the window of room 8 on the second floor.
Li Ding's hand shook slightly, but the bearded man in the private room on the third floor was red-eyed and shouted, but the bearded man finally didn't dare to directly increase the price by 1.5 million, and soon the words 49 million appeared on the window in front of him.
However, when the bearded man angrily added a million gold coins, in the No. 8 private room on the second floor, which many people cared about, the mysterious buyer was extremely calm.
"It's forty-nine million!" said a figure hidden in the shadows in a hoarse male voice, as there was no palm light in the eighth private room.
"Give it up, the price is far more than it's worth. A woman's voice rang out in the shadows.
After a moment of silence, the hoarse male voice said: "Add two more, if the other party insists on wanting it, let it be given to him for the time being." ”
"What do you mean......" the woman's voice wondered.
"What do you say? I haven't lost my hands on anything I fancy to it. The hoarse male voice said sinisterly.
Li Ding won't know all this, he only knows now that he must get the Thunder Arrow Trick since he has already started. Maybe Li Ding was still scared that he almost swiped four million gold coins in his hand a moment ago, but at this time he had completely calmed down.
Stimulation, as Tong Gongshui said before, Li Ding already felt that the process of raising the price was like a battle, and it was more terrifying and exciting than the real battle, so he had to calm down and keep a clear head.
Gongshui has been smiling faintly, acting calmly, and this confidence comes from his unfathomable strength, but also from his heroism of throwing thousands of dollars.
Li Ding also watched confidently, he kept a sober mind most of the time, and understood that this confidence was given by others. But no matter what, Li Ding knows that only with this self-confidence can he get what he wants today.
Fingers lightly swiped the small square box on the table, and the characters in front of Li Ding's window became 49.5 million, and then he first looked at the No. 8 private room on the second floor, and vaguely felt that the people in the No. 8 private room were his last opponents.
It was also true that when the figure of 49.5 million appeared, the bearded man in the private room on the third floor was about to add another million, but the young woman stopped him in time.
"There's no point in adding more, it seems that you think the talent who spoils the situation is inevitable, so let's wait and see a good show. The beautiful woman had already stood in front of the window, looking motionlessly at the private room where Li Ding was.
The green characters in front of his window lasted for a while, and Li Ding's already calm heart couldn't help but get nervous again, he really hoped that the characters would remain at 49.5 million, but this matter would not be smooth sailing because of his thoughts.
Five and a half million! When the window of the No. 8 private room on the second floor lit up this number, Li Ding only felt his heart sink violently, but he immediately increased the price to 51 million.
Fifty-two million! Li Ding seemed to have completely forgotten his true identity, gritted his teeth and swiped his fingers, and he stared intently at the words 52.5 million flashing in front of his window.
There was silence again, but everyone had already noticed the anomaly, and the private room on the third floor seemed to have given up on the price increase, so everyone's eyes were on the two windows on the second floor.
The words 52.5 million were still flickering, and for a moment it seemed that even Miss Zhong had forgotten her duties and stared at the private room where Li Ding was in a daze, because such a price had exceeded the resemblance of everyone present.
Li Ding's forehead was already soaked with sweat because of nervousness, and his left hand became numb because he was holding the corner of the table too hard.
"Knock ......"
The dull sound of drums woke everyone in the room, and when the 52.5 million characters had been flashing for a while, the people in the backstage of the auction hall finally couldn't help but remind someone in this way.
High in the auction hall, in a hidden corner where even a white lantern could not be reflected, a chubby shadow said in a low voice to the other shadows: "This girl is smart, but unfortunately she still owes some heat." ”
"I'm sorry, it's a kind of remediation, and I ask for your forgiveness. A timid voice replied.
"Is there a way to set up the content of the martial arts?" asked the chubby shadow.
"This ...... The seller has placed a special vitality lock on it, we dare not act rashly, and the identity of the seller is ...... So......" said in a timid voice.
If Li Ding could hear this voice, he would definitely be extremely surprised, because this voice was clearly very similar to Master Zhong's voice. The chubby shadow didn't say anything more, and disappeared into the darkness with a few other shadows.
However, to Li Ding's delight, as the drumbeat slowly disappeared, Miss Zhong's voice suddenly sounded: "Five two and a half million, five thousand two and a half million, are there any friends upstairs who want to increase the price?
Miss Zhong's voice has also become no longer delicate and pretentious, every word is extremely clear and sonorous. Three times in a row, when Sister Zhong asked for the third time if anyone had raised the price, the shocking drum finally sounded again.
"Knock ......"
With the vibration of the drum gradually weakening, Li Ding's hanging heart finally landed, and it was only then that he realized that his whole body was soaked with sweat. In just half an hour, Li Ding seemed to have experienced an unusually stimulating battle, and he only felt physically and mentally exhausted at this time.
"Congratulations, you got what you wanted. Gongshui smiled and held out his hand, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Suddenly, Li Ding realized that it was more than 50 million gold coins, and the hand that was about to be stretched out immediately stopped in mid-air, and said in a trembling voice: "Total...... Big brother, I really ...... Did you shoot it?"
Gongshui's smiling expression remained unchanged, and his right hand suddenly reached out to touch a ring on his left hand, and after a red light, a golden card appeared in his hand.
"This is a crystal card, the money houses of the seven countries within the Nine Desolations can be used, and there is just a deposit of 100 million gold coins in it, which is more than enough to buy the thunder arrow. Gongshui handed the crystal card to Li Ding and said.
"100 million!" Li Ding's hand shook violently, and his eyes looking at Gongshui naturally gave birth to a trace of gratitude. He didn't understand whether Gongshui had any purpose in doing this, but he knew that even if Gongshui really had any purpose, he was powerless to resist.
Looking at the shiny crystal card on the table, Li Ding didn't reach out to take it after all. After pondering for a while, the only thing that the excited Li Ding said was the word "thank you". (To be continued.) )
