“1,000,000.” Hong Dali raised his auction plate right after the auctioneer finished speaking.
Tang Muxin curiously asked, “Dali, why do you even want to buy this? What can it be used for? You don’t even need it.”
Her question aroused the attention of those sitting around them. Everyone kept their ears pricked up and held their breaths, hoping to hear the great prodigal’s answer.
“This seems to be fun to play with!” Hong Dali’s eyes were shining, glaring intensely at the set of technology. “Even though I’m unsure of what it actually is, it seems to be very valuable and powerful. I will just purchase it first!”
The people that heard it had their jaws dropped.
Even when he had no idea what it was, he wanted to buy it to play with it. What a prodigal! He was obviously just trying to purchase it no matter what, not even considering if it was worth it or not.
At this moment, Hong Anbao felt troubled in his heart. Should I try to raise the price higher? If I raise it only by a bit, it would be so embarrassing. However, if I raise it too high, what would happen if this wastrel gave up suddenly? I would then have wasted around five million… My company only brings about an annual income of 40 million. If something were to happen, I would have wasted one and a half months’ worth of income and effort in running the company. Thinking of this, Hong Anbao sighed helplessly. Keep calm, I must keep calm! This brat has his parents spoiling him, giving him however much pocket money he wants. But I’m different. I must hold back! In the end, he decided not to raise the price further.
On the other side, Liu Mingxin quickly raised his plate. “1.2 million.” He then touched his chin and pondered. This set of technology is quite high-end, but my company has no use for it. To be realistic, I too do not know what it can be used for. Well, I will just raise a little before stopping. There’s not much meaning in competing with Hong Dali in terms of squandering. He has parents who spoil him, and it’s said that his parents give him hundreds of thousands or even millions in one go. The main point is to make him spend more money anyway. If he were to give up the bidding halfway, I will lose big.
Liu Mingxin had always been a calm and collected person and was considered a model pragmatist. Unless it was something that he really must get, he would not be setting his determination to purchase it. This was also similar to how he employed people in his company. Everything was considered from a realistic point of view and not just the academic qualifications of the applicants—which explained why his game company kept expanding and achieving stellar results.
“1,500,000!” Hong Dali did not consider much. As long as he felt it was fun, he would buy it. He never considered the value besides purchasing the item.
“1,700,000.” Liu Mingxin once again raised the price, while thinking inside:Let’s stop at this. It’s enough to know what sort of person he is, there is no need to be too overconcerned over this matter. Hong Dali himself is not a bad person. However, it’s a pity that we’re of different stands. If we were to become friends, it would definitely not be a bad thing. Aii, a pity, a pity.
“2,000,000!” Hong Dali raised his plate once again.
“I give up.” Liu Mingxin stopped decisively. This technology was indeed high-end. However, the problem lied in its usefulness. Thus, it could be considered as just playing around.
“2,000,000 going once! 2,000,000 going twice! 2,000,000 going thrice!”
“Sold!”
The auctioneer, Su Lei, knocked the hammer to signify the end of the bid.
Finally, the auction was coming to an end. Hong Anbao used 2,600,000 to purchase a brand new prized sword, while Liu Mingxin did not manage to buy anything. Hong Dali, who was the happiest, walked away with a bright smile on his face while saying, “Haha, it was really a good decision to come today. My house’s Samoyed finally has a toy, and I managed to gift Sister Nianwei a set of earrings. Lastly, the set of technological equipment purchased also seems to be pretty good, haha!” How could he not be happy? After sneaking a peek at the system window, he realized he had squandered over 4,000,000, which could be used to redeem 40 attribute points!
“You’re really hopeless… buying it without even knowing what this thing can do.” Tang Muxin said with a smile. “Go home and play with it, and see if you can find out what it can be used for.” After a successful squander battle, Liu Mingxin’s attention turned to Hong Anbao. From now on, Hong Anbao would not be too concerned about Hong Dali, and Hong Dali could be a happy prodigal. In fact, it was quite good to think about it like this.
“Sister Nianwei, the earrings you’re wearing look beautiful on you.” Hong Dali looked from the left and right, and the more he looked, the more he liked it. After taking two more steps, he took a sniff and became slightly depressed. “It’s a pity, I didn’t find something that suits you, Xinxin. I originally wanted to find you a suitable gift, but I couldn’t find it. The previous ones were too cheap and not interesting enough.”
“Aiya, I have no need for these.” After listening to what Dali said, Tang Muxin felt slightly embarrassed. “There’s no need to sulk over it, there will be plenty of chances in the future.”
“Alright, then. When I see something in the future that suits you, I will definitely buy it for you.”
Li Nianwei, who stood beside them, smiled and said, “Young Madam looks good in whatever she wears. However, her bag seems to be slightly not up to standard. Why not purchase a better bag for her? Bags are essential accessories for girls.”
“Good idea! That’s settled, then!”
The group of people talked and laughed while they walked out. After exiting the elevator, just outside the famous Jin building, Tang Muxin suddenly exclaimed. “Sister Blood Consort, why are you here?! Were you really the person at the auction house?”
Sister Blood Consort?! The student in our class who never turns up for lessons?
Hong Dali curiously peered over and was shocked momentarily at what he saw.
The girl was about the same age as himself, and her blue hair was tied with two ponytails that drooped till below her hips. She had a slim figure and a slightly flat chest. Wearing a bell-sleeved shirt with a short skirt and black stockings, she looked very youthful and pure.
Her pair of eyes were big and clear, and though she was expressionless, it was not able to cover her beautiful face. If she were to be rated, if Tang Muxin scored a full 100 points, this girl whose nickname was “Sister Blood Consort” would have scored 99.5 points at the least.
However, this was not the reason that shocked Hong Dali.
The girls at his side, such as Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei, were both stunning beauties who were flawless in every aspect. Thus, Hong Dali was able to resist the temptation of beauties easily. What caused him to be shocked was the makeup that Sister Blood Consort had on. Hong Dali blurted out a name: “You’re Hatsune? Hatsune Miku?”
The Hatsune Miku who sang the famous Leek Song on Earth? Hong Dali vigorously rubbed his eyes.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Lin Chuyin.” Sister Blood Consort, Lin Chuyin, slowly walked forward and reached out her hand expressionlessly towards Hong Dali. “Where is the Virtual Reality Projection technology?”
“How can you speak to Young Master like this?” After hearing how Lin Chuyin spoke, Hong Dali’s lackeys became agitated. One male lackey rushed up, preparing to take action. “Why do you think Young Master should give it to you just because you want it?”
“Stop it!” To everyone’s surprise, Tang Muxin stood in front of Lin Chuyin and angrily shouted at the male lackey. “Dali has not said anything, stand down!” Her voice was filled with 30% anger, 30% panic, and 40% worry, causing everyone who heard it feel inexplicably weird.
