Chapter 41: Ten Million Dollars!
Lin Tian snorted in his heart: "It's easy to say, but how can I be so lucky to always have so many martial artists' losers for me to absorb their internal energy? This time, being able to absorb so much internal energy is also a stroke of luck. In the future, it won't be easy to have such an opportunity again, and there are many places where I need to use my skills! However, I'm also content with what I have. Even if things go slowly, they'll still pass just like before when I was an ordinary person." "Hehe, Master, you've come to realize this, that's good. With the Star Ring and the unparalleled martial arts left behind by the old master, it's only a matter of time before you become a strong practitioner. Being too impatient will only ruin your mood and have a negative impact on your future training!" Xiao Ling said.
"Hmm!" Lin Tian nodded slightly and opened his eyes.
……
"The diamond up for auction is an extraordinary one, weighing 95 carats, with a color grade of D and a clarity grade of FL. The round-shaped diamond has ideal cutting proportions, making it a rare high-quality diamond that excels in weight, color, clarity, and cut. This diamond has immense collectible value. If you're a jewelry collector or looking to give a gift, get ready to place your bid! The starting price for this diamond is $1 million, with each subsequent bid increasing by at least $100,000!" Auctioneer Wang Qi shouted loudly.
"Two million dollars!" The first bidder directly raised the price by one million, and such a bid did not make others feel strange, because everyone knew that it was absolutely impossible to buy such a precious diamond for just one million!
$2.5 million, $3 million, $3.5 million... The price quickly exceeded Xiao Ling's estimate of it. "Master, humans are irrational animals, sometimes they will spend much more than the original value to buy something under a mentality of not giving up!" Xiao Ling said in Lin Tian's mind. Exceeding $6 million, there were still three people bidding, each unwilling to give in, and the price continued to rise.
"Kobayashi, you're really lucky this time, after this, you'll make a fortune!" Left Guoqiang said with a smile. "Uncle is joking, this little money of mine can't be seen in Uncle's eyes!" Lin Tian smiled and said. Left Guoqiang said: "Little Lin, you and Yunfei are roommates, I'll have to trouble you to take care of him more in the future, if Yunfei can learn from you, he will definitely benefit a lot!"
"I and Lao Si are good brothers, we will naturally help each other out. Uncle can rest assured on this point. As for Lao Si learning from me, Uncle, you're really overestimating me! It seems like there aren't many good points about me that others would want to learn from!" Lin Tian Dao said.
At this time, one of the three people had already bid up to $10 million, a price that was already outrageous, and the other two did not bid again!
"Alright, one billion dollars once, one billion dollars twice, one billion dollars three times! Sold, congratulations to that gentleman, you successfully bid on a precious and extraordinary top-grade diamond!" The auctioneer exclaimed loudly. Upon hearing the diamond was sold for one billion dollars, Lin Tian's heart also slightly stirred with excitement, but this excitement quickly dissipated as he thought about the countless precious gems scattered all over the Starfield, one billion dollars was really nothing!
Zuo Guoqiang saw that Lin Tian was so calm and his evaluation of Lin Tian rose a few more points in his heart!
VIP area, Zuo Yunfei smiled and said: "Old Fourth has made a fortune this time, and when the time comes, he will have to let go of his blood, $10 million, which is more than 60 million yuan!" Zhou Yao curiously asked: "Zuo Yunfei, did Lin Tian bring this diamond for auction?"
If Lin Tian had just come to the auction with him instead of as a super VIP, Zuo Yunfei wouldn't have said much to Zhou Ya and the others. One million dollars was nothing compared to that super VIP status. There weren't many people in the entire auction hall who could take out one million dollars, but most of them were just ordinary bidders who hadn't even obtained a VIP identity. Nodding his head, Zuo Yunfei smiled strangely: "Zhou Ya, with Old Three's status, it should be enough to match you! Heh heh, last time the hero saved the beauty, I thought the hero would be unable to match the beauty due to identity issues and become a tragedy. Now it seems... Heh heh!"
Zhou Yao angrily said: "Zuo Yunfei, what nonsense are you talking about? I'll let Wan'er deal with you properly!" Zuo Yunfei puffed out his chest and said: "For the sake of Lao San's happiness, I can only sacrifice myself! Nangong classmate, you shouldn't be involved in this matter, should you?"
Nangong Yu'er smiled and said, "Join in? How could I not join in?!" Zuo Yunfei's face changed slightly, "Lin Tian may seem like a wooden head, but he saved Sister Yao last time, so he should be okay. For Sister Yao's happiness, I'll put up with you this time and stand on the same front line as you! Ah, Sister Yao, don't tickle me!" Nangong Yu'er exclaimed, but Zhou Yao had already reached her hand into her waist, the two having known each other for a long time, Zhou Yao naturally knew that Nangong Yu'er was afraid of being tickled!
Many people around looked over here, Zuoyunfei coughed lightly and said: "Image, pay attention to image, be a lady!"
"When did I say I was a lady?" Nangong Wan'er hummed, but still stopped the fight with Zhou Yao. "There is an expert watching us!" Mu Rong Xue, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them and looked to the right front, where the vampire beside Prince Saudi was standing. Mu Rong Xue's gaze met that of the vampire, and the two engaged in a brief confrontation, five seconds later, the vampire retreated, his strength far inferior, but a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Murong Xue furrowed her brow, this fight came out of nowhere, and said in a low voice: "Be careful, that guy doesn't seem to be human!" "Not human? Murong sister, that person looks gloomy, could he be a zombie or something?" Nan Gong Wan'er asked curiously in a low voice. Zhou Yao was just an ordinary person, listening to them made her feel scared, and her body trembled slightly!
Murong Xue shook her head: "No, it should be a Western vampire, not very strong, but to become a super VIP, the power behind is not trivial. Just now he showed a hint of hostility, we need to be more careful!" This can be considered as Murong Xue's longest speech in these days, Zhou Yao and others didn't think much of it, but Zuo Yunfei was slightly surprised, thinking that the so-called "Ice Beauty" Murong Xue is not as unapproachable as he imagined!
"Yao Mei, don't worry too much. With the power of our several families, they won't dare to do anything to us easily. Besides, Left Country Father is also here!" Qin Ke patted Zhou Yao's shoulder and comforted her. Zuo Yunfei chuckled: "And Lin Tian is also here, at a critical moment, he'll come and be the hero who saves the beauty, haha!"
Zhou Yao's face turned slightly red: "Zuo Yunfei, you're talking nonsense again! Qin Jie, Murong, can't you help me out?"
(Brothers, shamelessly asking for collection again, hehe!)
