Chapter 1296: Chapter 1295: Fierce Auction
In their manor’s view, this is worth twenty million.
"Six hundred fifty thousand once, is there anyone offering a higher price?" Mr. Feng was also very nervous. If there was no one, then Chen Tianlong directly obtained this Dong Race West Suburb Mineral Treasure Map, hitting the jackpot.
"Seven hundred fifty thousand."
Suddenly, another voice sounded, and everyone was amazed, turning to look in the direction of the voice, only to see Lei Laowu raise his hand and speak.
"Lei Laowu, what are you trying to do?" Lao Feng frowned. Does this person have a death wish? At such a critical moment, he still dares to provoke Chen Tianlong. After just one move, his meridians could be completely severed, yet he dares to fight against him, if not seeking death, then what?
Lei Laowu, in a fit of anger, was young and hot-blooded, never considering the consequences of his actions, so he began to contend with Chen Tianlong out of spite.
He felt that, in terms of force, he could not win, but in terms of financial power, he had to win back.
He couldn’t believe Chen Tianlong could actually kill him, could he?
"Hehe, I’m not trying to do anything, I just want to buy a map, so what, Uncle Lao, do I need to consider who my opponent is before buying something?" Lei Laowu said defiantly.
"Sigh... alright, I don’t want to get involved in your affairs, handle the trouble you cause yourself." Lao Feng truly felt that he had brought the wrong person. How did he end up going out with such a brainless person?
"Yeah, Uncle Lao, don’t worry about it, I know what I’m doing." Lei Laowu said, self-assured.
Lao Feng laughed bitterly. If the Lei Family hadn’t given them benefits, and Master Lei hadn’t asked him to take care of Lei Laowu as much as possible, he wouldn’t even give him a look, he’s a complete fool, deserving to have all his meridians shattered in a single strike.
"Eight hundred thousand."
Chen Tianlong obviously frowned as well, wondering what Lei Laowu wanted. He absolutely couldn’t believe that someone from the Capital City would come all the way to look for a mine, and an outsider wouldn’t know anything about this local situation.
Only this fool, Lei Laowu, was shouting recklessly. Smart people would see that no locals from Guiyang were bidding, indicating that this place is very tricky, rumored to have already been occupied by rulers.
"Nine hundred thousand." As soon as Chen Tianlong finished speaking, Lei Laowu added another hundred thousand, causing the people present to start gossiping. Anyone with eyes could see that Lei Laowu was opposing Chen Tianlong.
As for why Chen Tianlong wanted to buy it, people were not too clear, but they guessed it wasn’t for mining or treasure hunting.
They guessed correctly. The reason Chen Tianlong wanted this map was because he heard the words "Dong Race West Suburb." Yan Zheng had previously told him that pure Energy Stones could only be found there.
So if he wanted to slip in unnoticed, he had to have a terrain map, otherwise, blindly searching would lead him nowhere near the pure Energy Stones and he’d also get lost.
It’s known that the Dong Race West Suburb mountain range is over two hundred square kilometers. Finding an Energy Stone cave there is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But with this map, he could see the mineral distribution, and then friends could think of ways to inquire, maybe even learn the location of the pure Energy Stone origin.
"One million."
After taking a deep breath, Chen Tianlong added another hundred thousand, wanting to see what Lei Laowu was up to.
"One million five hundred thousand."
"Wow....."
Lei Laowu seemed to be playing, as soon as his voice fell, people couldn’t help exclaiming, knowing he wanted to challenge Chen Tianlong.
"Lei Laowu, enough is enough, or I really won’t be responsible for you later." Lao Feng was truly afraid he would anger Chen Tianlong. If this kid came over in a fury and took action against Lei Laowu and him at the same time, they’d be doomed.
"What are you afraid of, he’s not some kind of demon or monster, do I, Lei Laowu, really need to worry so much just to buy something?" Lei Laowu was still fearless.
"Sigh..." Lao Feng had completely given up on him, letting him fend for himself. If anything happens later, he would just tell his father straightforwardly.
Chen Tianlong pondered for a moment, realizing that Lei Laowu was deliberately challenging him, but then, a new plan formed in his mind.
"Three million."
Chen Tianlong directly doubled the price to see if Lei Laowu would follow. If he kept doing so, it was almost certain that he didn’t care about the price and was just throwing a fit, calling recklessly.
"Four million."
As expected, as soon as Chen Tianlong spoke, Lei Laowu shouted without a second thought.
At this point, Chen Tianlong wasn’t frustrated but was rather secretly pleased. He now had no desire to buy this map but aimed to obtain it through other means, for instance, letting Lei Laowu buy it first, and then discreetly taking it from him.
After a bout of competition, the happiest ones were Mr. Feng and Manor Master Yanci. Originally, they thought they were at a loss, but did not expect a twist with Lei Laowu’s appearance, restoring their hope.
"Wow, the Dong Race West Suburb Mineral Treasure Map’s auction price has soared to four million, is anyone else bidding, hurry up."
Mr. Feng shouted excitedly.
Tan Xianglan looked at Chen Tianlong, somewhat puzzled, asking, "Hey, Chen Tianlong, what are you doing? Is such a broken map worth so much money?"
Although Tan Xianglan wasn’t very concerned about money, it couldn’t just be spent like this. Starting at several million, and this Chen Tianlong doesn’t seem that rich. If she really married him and ended up in debt, wouldn’t it be disastrous?
"Hehe, why so tense, it’s not your money."
Chen Tianlong said breezily.
"Hmph, who says it’s not my money, if I become your wife, your money would naturally be mine, your stuff is mine, and mine is still mine. Lalalala."
Tan Xianglan said very domineeringly.
"....." Chen Tianlong was speechless for a moment, thinking that with such clear statement, who would dare marry her?
"Five million....." Chen Tianlong chuckled, then directly shouted.
"Six million...."
"Seven million..."
.....
"Fifteen million."
After a while, the bidding reached fifteen million, causing everyone present to widen their eyes.
"Hey, Chen Tianlong, that’s enough, stop bidding, if the other guy stops bidding, you’re screwed," Tan Xianglan quietly warned Chen Tianlong.
Chen Tianlong smiled and ignored it, Tan Xianglan pouted, a bit angry.
At this moment, Lao Feng seemed to notice something fishy, directly telling Lei Laowu, "Laowu, enough, if you stop now, Chen Tianlong will have to pay fifteen million for this thing, which means you’ve won."
"Oh? Like that, huh."
After hearing Lao Feng’s words, Lei Laowu felt it made some sense, so he took a deep breath and calmed down a lot. He was actually planning to shout up to twenty million.
With the current price, everyone present began discussing, thinking that Chen Tianlong had really lost out this time, while Yanci was somewhat worried.
If Lei Laowu was the one who bid fifteen million, he would definitely take it without hesitation, but if it was Chen Tianlong, he would feel a bit embarrassed.
