This auction is just a small-scale auction, and most of the items are not expensive. There were no items worth hundreds of millions or tens of millions. Muyang had been waiting for his jade pendant to appear, but it hadn't appeared in the early stages. It should have been put at the end as a finale item.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, the next item, No. 62, is a circular hollow-carved flower jade pendant, with a diameter of 10 cm and a total weight of 108 grams. The material is top-grade Hetian white jade, very close to sheep fat jade."

  The jade pendant sent by Muyang finally appeared, and the auctioneer was enthusiastically explaining it.

  "Everyone knows that the annual output of Hetian jade will not exceed 20 kilograms, and high-quality jade materials are becoming increasingly scarce. The price of first-class seed material is between 120,000 to 140,000 yuan per gram. Such a heavy and perfectly carved jade pendant is extremely rare."

  "According to our auction house's appraiser, this jade pendant should be the work of a Yangzhou carving master. Although it cannot be confirmed whether it is the work of a certain master, its exquisite craftsmanship and beautiful patterns all show that it comes from a famous family. If you buy it back and confirm that it is the work of a certain master, the value of this jade pendant will increase several times."

  "Just in the first half of this year, a Hetian jade master's work was auctioned off for over 10 million yuan, while works by jade carving masters such as Weng Weimin and Lian Qingyun can fetch over 500,000 yuan for even a small pendant."

  "Alright, now let's start the auction, starting price is 15 million, and each bid increase must be at least 10 thousand."

  As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone started bidding, but it was just the starting price of 15 million. However, very quickly, another person raised their paddle.

  Even at the price of jadeite, this pendant is worth more than 1.5 million, so whether it's a masterpiece or not, the material alone is worth bidding for.

  There were about ten bidders, but they were also much more popular than the previous items, after all, jade and stone, especially top-notch Hetian jade, are still very popular in China, so there would naturally be more people bidding.

  After several rounds of bidding, some people dropped out, and in the end, only two people were left, slowly grinding away, adding one or two million at a time, probing each other's bottom line.

  Muyang felt a thread of disappointment, it was clear that the situation where many people would fight over it and in the end one person with a big head and big hands would come out and buy the jade pendant at a high price with overwhelming momentum was unlikely to happen.

  In the end, the transaction price still reached 2.45 million. To say that such a small jade pendant can be sold for 2.45 million, Muyang is already very satisfied.

  The entire auction didn't take long, but it wasn't until noon that it ended. After the buyers settled their accounts and completed the formalities, another hour had passed. Mu Yang was planning to go on a trip with his roommate today, so he thought he could get everything done today and have an easier time spending money while traveling. So he waited patiently, preparing to receive the money after they finished.

  Huanhai is indeed a big company, one of the best domestic auction companies in China. The speed is unparalleled, and by 2 pm, they notified Muyang that he could go to the company at any time to handle the formalities.

  Mu Yang didn't delay, took a taxi and came to Hanhai again. After verifying the documents, the money was directly transferred to Mu Yang's account, of course, he also paid 10% of the fee.

  Now that we have money, Mu Yang looked at the string of numbers displayed on the bank ATM screen and felt a great sense of accomplishment. He also had more confidence. As the saying goes, "Money is a man's courage", having money in hand makes one feel at ease, it's just this principle.

  Withdrew 20,000 yuan in cash from the ATM. Going to the dam soon, so I need to bring more money. Some friends said, "You have a card, where can't you go?" But that place is really too remote, and the scenic spots are far from the county town. There aren't many entertainment projects there that support card payments. If you want to play well, it's better to prepare cash honestly.

  The phone rang, and after Mu Yang answered it, Zhu Wanli's voice came through.

  "Where's Mu Yang?" Zhu Wanli was getting anxious.

  "I'll take the money and go back right away. By the way, has your sister come to our school?" Mu Yang said while hailing a taxi with one hand.

  "She had no classes in the afternoon and had already prepared everything and came over, right here in our dorm."

  "Cheng, you contact others and tell them to gather in the dormitory if nothing's wrong. I'll let the driver go to school now," said Mu Yang.

  "Alright, let's both get ready."

  Muyang hung up the phone and called his second uncle's company driver, asking him to drive to Beiwai immediately. He himself took a taxi back to school.

  Everyone met in the dormitory again and chatted for a while. The car arrived, everyone got on board and set off directly to the grassland.

  "Yangzi, this car is really good, Benz business class. It's obvious that the interior has been renovated, and it even comes with a refrigerator and wine cabinet." Zhou Feng looked around the car and felt that it was indeed very nice.

  "I didn't expect it either, I was originally going for the Golden Cup." Mu Yang explained without showing off in front of his roommate.

  "This is even better, we are also basking in your glory, the car is comfortable, and there is a dedicated driver, this is what tourism is all about, this is what enjoyment is." Zhou Feng said with a big smile, and everyone burst out laughing.

  Everyone chatted for a while and then started hugging their girlfriends or chatting or resting, Mu Yang could only chat with the driver.

  Walk from the mouth of Tuanhe River to Fengning County, and then rush to Baochang Grassland from Fengning County. Mu Yang and others had booked a farmhouse in advance, so they checked in directly that night, and the tour activities officially started on the second day.

  In the morning, Zhou Feng wore an outdoor suit and came out. Zhu Wanli joked that he must have overdone it last night, wearing such thick clothes, but unexpectedly, it was really cold outside, and Zhu Wanli's body trembled with coldness. In the end, they had to go back and put on more clothes before feeling comfortable.

  "Old Zhu, you've lost face now." Peng Cheng didn't miss the chance to rub it in.

  "I gave those clothes to my wife, otherwise I would have frozen like that." Zhu Wanli retorted.

  The first project was horseback riding. With the help of their husbands, the women finally got on the horses. Most people were riding for the first time and didn't dare to ride fast, so they just let the horses walk slowly.

  The sky here is a deep blue, crystal clear as if there are no flaws at all, making people feel relaxed and happy when they see it. Unfortunately, the grass on the prairie has just sprouted tender shoots, unable to show the true beauty of the vast grassland, but revealing another kind of majestic atmosphere.

  At night, drinking and singing, roasting whole lamb over an open flame, everyone sits together, talking about their future ideals, life, and pursuits. How many of the boyfriends and girlfriends from college will truly become lifelong partners in the end? No one knows what will happen next, but at this moment, they are happy.

  In three days, we played all the projects that could be played, and everyone was satisfied with their trip. As for regrets, there were some, that is, Muyang could only watch others being affectionate, while he himself could only play alone.

  After May Day, Muyang was really busy for a while, busy with the organization and publicity of the English debate competition, busy learning, busy preparing for the Japanese level one test, and busy with the approaching final exams.

  More than half a month had passed when Muyang suddenly found himself missing Xia Kejun. This feeling of longing was quite strange.

  Muyang always felt that the world was illusory, and he also defined it as unreal in his mind. Sometimes he would even deliberately try to forget about the system's world and live a normal person's life for a few days.

  He told himself that he was playing a more realistic RPG game and shouldn't get too engrossed, or else he might not be able to pull himself out.

  But now his feelings told him that he was getting more and more obsessed with it, and had developed emotions for the person he knew was an illusion, which were different from those he had when he was with other girlfriends.

  For Xia Kejun, he now has a heartfelt thought, he is very certain, that is to miss her, although he can return to Xia Kejun's side in an instant, but he hasn't gone back for this period of time, or rather, intentionally hasn't gone back, and yet, he has developed a strong feeling of missing her.

  Could it be that I've fallen for Xia Kejun myself????
