Chapter 124: 【124】Container Blind Box_1
However, Gao Pengfei soon made a sorrowful discovery.
He had used all his strength, his face turning a flushed red, while Tang Feng still stood there as if nothing was amiss.
What kind of monster is this kid?
He started to doubt himself and was about to let go.
But just then, a sudden burst of strength erupted from Tang Feng’s hand.
“Ah…”
A sharp pain shot through Gao Pengfei’s hand, his fingers feeling as though they were being crushed by machinery, about to be pulverized.
“Young Master Gao, what’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Tang Feng asked with an innocuous smile.
“Let… let go.”
Gao Pengfei’s face was twisted in pain, his body curling up as if he were a shrimp tossed into hot oil.
Xu Xinling couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.
She was very familiar with Gao Pengfei’s character and had guessed his intentions the mont he offered his hand to Tang Feng.
However, she didn’t intervene.
Because she was well aware of Tang Feng’s strength, Gao Pengfei’s actions were nothing but self-inflicted embarrassnt.
Sure enough, the guy had kicked an iron plate.
Song Lele, on the other hand, was sowhat puzzled.
She didn’t understand Gao Pengfei’s nature and didn’t know that Tang Feng knew martial arts, thinking that their handshake was rely a polite gesture.
Only now, seeing Gao Pengfei’s pained expression, did she realize they were secretly competing.
It looked like Tang Feng had gotten the upper hand.
The four bodyguards Gao Pengfei had brought with him reacted quickly, ready to rush over to help.
Tang Feng had co to play the container blind box ga today and didn’t want any major conflict, so he casually let go of Gao Pengfei.
“Ahss…”
Gao Pengfei’s hand had been pinched into the shape of a chicken claw, trembling with pain.
“You little bastard, you…”
He was about to continue causing trouble.
That’s when he heard Xu Xinling rebuke him, “Gao Pengfei, if you continue to make a scene without reason, don’t bla for being rude to you.”
Gao Pengfei might be arrogant with others, but he was very fearful of Xu Xinling, so he glared at Tang Feng resentfully and kept silent.
“Tang Feng, are you alright?”
Song Lele and Xu Xinling asked almost in unison.
“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Tang Feng moved his fingers to show that he was unhard.
But the two girls were still very worried, checking him over and over again.
This made Gao Pengfei even angrier, smoke practically coming out of his seven orifices.
Earlier it was physical hurt; now, it was ntal anguish.
He was the one truly hurt, so why was there not a single person concerned about him?
Tang Feng gave him a deep look.
This was a small lesson for him, hopefully enough to make him rember.
If he still didn’t take the hint and dared to provoke again, Tang Feng wouldn’t mind teaching him a more profound lesson.
As the commotion ended, a group of port workers approached.
A man with a big beard, dressed in a work uniform, walked in front of everyone with a gaphone, “Welco everyone to today’s container blind box event.”
The previously noisy crowd instantly quieted down, all attentively listening to Da Huzi speak.
“Many of you are probably already familiar with the ga’s rules, but I still have to explain the procedures. These containers have been sitting in the port unclaid, and as per regulations, they will be dealt with by the docks…”
The people who ca to participate in the container blind box ga were already well-versed in these rules.
But there were also first-tirs like Tang Feng, who listened intently.
“To be honest, even I don’t know what’s inside these containers. I can only provide so data regarding volu and weight for your reference.”
“This event will have twenty containers up for auction. Bids must start at no less than ten thousand, and the highest bidder takes it…”
Da Huzi took a full fifteen minutes to explain the rules and then led the crowd to a large container.
“Now, we are auctioning container number 01. Container 01 is 6058mm long, 2438mm wide, and 2438mm high… The container weighs seventeen tons, and the starting bid is fifty thousand!”
Tang Feng was surprised by the starting bid.
This ga really wasn’t for the average person to play.
The starting bid was already fifty thousand, who knew what price it could fetch in the end.
But on second thought, the container held seventeen tons of goods. Who knew what was inside?
If he unearthed so treasures, he could make a fortune right away.
While others didn’t know what was in it, he did.
He imdiately activated the scanning system and scanned the container.
Soon, information about the items inside was laid out before him.
After viewing this information, his lips curled into an involuntary smile.
“The auction starts now!”
Da Huzi shouted through the gaphone, addressing the crowd.
Soone imdiately made a bid, “One hundred thousand.”
Da Huzi called out enthusiastically, “One hundred thousand, this gentleman has bid one hundred thousand, is there anyone offering a higher price?”
“One hundred and fifty thousand.”
He had barely finished when another bid ca in.
“One hundred and fifty thousand, this lady has bid one hundred and fifty thousand, is there any…”
“Two hundred thousand.”
“Two hundred and fifty thousand…”
Tang Feng couldn’t help but marvel at these wealthy bidders.
By the event’s rules, each bid only needed to exceed the previous by ten thousand, yet these people were raising it by more than fifty thousand each ti.
Indeed, the world of the rich was beyond his understanding.
“Five hundred thousand.”
The price had just gone up to three hundred thousand when a crisp voice suddenly sounded in Tang Feng’s ears.
It was Xu Xinling who had called out the bid.
She had increased the price by a whole two hundred thousand.
Tang Feng turned to look at her and whispered a warning, “Miss, think twice about this.”
Xu Xinling didn’t seem to care, “It’s all for fun; what matters is to enjoy ourselves, right?”
Tang Feng was speechless; she really was quite a spendthrift.
“Five hundred thousand, this beautiful lady has offered five hundred thousand. If no one continues to bid, container number 001 will belong to her,” Da Huzi continued to tempt the crowd with his gaphone.
And sure enough, his words had an effect.
Imdiately soone followed with a bid of “five hundred and fifty thousand”.
