Chapter 028: Lin Xuan’s Wealth Is Like a Golden Mountain!
“300 stones!”
After Lin Xuan announced this price, the room fell silent. Every person present turned to look at him. Everyone was shocked by Lin Xuan’s bidding. Just a mont ago, the price was only 150 stones—and now, he had doubled it to 300! Even Liu Ziming on stage tensed and stared in his direction. After all, that bracelet was his! In other words, Lin Xuan was practically paying him money!
“300 stones! Is there anyone willing to offer more?”
“310 stones!”
At that mont, a woman’s voice called out. Judging by the tone—almost through gritted teeth—it was clear that she really adored that bracelet. Unfortunately, re adoration wasn’t enough; one had to have the ans.
“400 stones!”
Lin Xuan casually raised the bid. In an instant, the room fell completely silent, and everyone could feel the awe-inspiring power of Lin Xuan’s wealth! No one dared speak. All that could be heard was Liu Ziming’s exclamations from the stage:
“First bid—400 stones!”
“Second bid—400 stones!”
“Third bid—400 stones!”
“Sold!!!”
“Congratulations to Participant No. 92! You have won our first item tonight, ‘Dream Butterfly’s Love’!!!” Liu Ziming shouted at the top of his lungs.
Imdiately, he walked over to Lin Xuan with the bracelet in hand. At the sa ti, he silently prayed that this guy really had the ans—he hoped it wasn’t just empty talk! Lin Xuan took the bracelet, checked it without finding any issues, and then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, waved his hand toward the open space in front of him. In the next mont, 400 stones appeared on the carpet as if by magic.
Liu Ziming’s eyes lit up. After counting and confirming the amount, he happily stuffed the stones into his backpack. Only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted. At the sa ti, he glanced at Lin Xuan, noting that the man seed unfamiliar.
“He must have been referred by a friend,” Liu Ziming muttered to himself before returning to the stage to continue the auction.
“Is there anyone else who wishes to exchange items?”
“!”
As soon as those words fell, a tall man stepped forward from the crowd. He ascended the stage and presented his auction item—a battered dagger. After a brief introduction, under Liu Ziming’s hosting, the bidding for the dagger began.
In no ti, over a dozen people engaged in fierce competition.
anwhile, on the other side, Lin Xuan noticed that the item on offer wasn’t sothing he needed, so he lost interest. He turned to Ailiya and handed her the bracelet, saying, “Here, this is for you.”
Ailiya was clearly taken aback. “For ?” she asked.
Lin Xuan nodded. “Of course. Otherwise, why would I go through the trouble of winning it?”
Even when Liu Ziming had first presented the bracelet, Lin Xuan had noticed that a glimr of fondness appeared in Ailiya’s eyes. That was why he had bid so confidently.
“Th-thank you!” Ailiya managed to say, touched and delighted as she accepted the bracelet.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan smiled and patted Ailiya’s head affectionately.
The auction then continued in an orderly manner. As ti passed, one item after another was sold. Many participants managed to exchange for items they were satisfied with. Even Lin Xuan succeeded in winning three items—a stamina potion, an elental staff, and a skill book.
Stamina Potion (Low Tier):Slowly restores stamina over 10 minutes upon consumption.Frostbound Staff (Low Tier):A wand crafted by the elves that can instantly launch an ice spear at a target, though it needs recharging once its energy is spent.Haste (Low Tier):A skill docunted in the book that, by consuming stamina, can increase walking speed.
Of these three items, Lin Xuan favored the Frostbound Staff the most. With this staff, he undeniably gained an additional ans of attack. He also liked the skill book—it boosted his speed, and he learned it imdiately. The stamina potion, anwhile, was stowed in his backpack for ergencies.
After a while, as Lin Xuan saw that the good deals had mostly been taken—everyone was busy exchanging stone for wood and wood for stone—he took advantage of the lull and stood up.
“Is there anyone else who wants to exchange items?” Liu Ziming called out.
At that mont, Lin Xuan’s voice rang out, “!”
Hearing soone step up, Liu Ziming quickly looked in that direction. To his surprise, it was the very man who had just bought the bracelet. Liu Ziming rembered Lin Xuan very well. Although he had only participated in bidding four tis, each ti he successfully won an item—and every ti, his formidable financial power left everyone in the room gasping, as if a golden mountain were bearing down on their heads, rendering them silent!
“Judging by this man’s wealth, he must have sothing truly valuable!” Liu Ziming thought to himself. In fact, almost everyone who saw Lin Xuan step onto the stage made the sa assumption. After all, Lin Xuan’s financial prowess was so overwhelming that an ordinary item wouldn’t warrant such an extravagant display from a tycoon.
“Next, we’re going to auction the 86th item.”
“Participant No. 92, please co up and introduce the item!” Liu Ziming announced.
Everyone turned to look at Lin Xuan, eager to see what treasure he was about to offer…
