Chapter 76: Lightnosla! Hello, My Lord! (3/5, requesting data)

"Gentlemen, ladies, the long-awaited auction is now officially starting!"

With an order from the host on the stage, today’s auction officially started, and the audience was also more than half full.

"Today’s first auction item, this is from..."

"Today’s second auction item..."

"..."

No matter how impassioned the host’s speech was, Biscuit still slumped on the sofa, a pair of wine-red eyes somewhat distracted.

She was fantasizing about the scene of her appreciating that top-quality ruby; it must be a great scene.

Machi and Shizuku were flipping through the manual, looking at the dazzling array of auction items inside, somewhat dazzled.

Here, the types of auction items were strange, including but not limited to jewelry, antiques, game consoles, ingredients...

But they all had one thing in common, and that was that they were worth a lot!

Only with sufficient value was one qualified to appear at the Dream Auction.

As one auction item after another was sold, it finally came to the top-quality ruby that Biscuit had been looking forward to for a long time.

"The next auction item is exceptionally beautiful and very rare."

"This is an extremely rare ruby, and both its transparency and clarity are top-quality!"

The host lifted the white cloth, and a ruby about the size of a fist was lying quietly on the tray underneath.

Under the illumination of the lights, the bright red luster inside the ruby was clearly seen by everyone.

Just at a glance, Biscuit, who had seen countless gemstones, determined that this was a genuine high-quality ruby.

"The starting price is 10 million Jenny, and each increase cannot be less than 1 million Jenny."

As soon as the host finished speaking, someone raised three fingers and faced the host with the back of their hand.

This meant an increase of 5 million Jenny, which was also the second highest gesture for increasing the price at the Southern Piece Auction.

The Southern Piece Auction, also known as the Dream Auction, had a unique way of increasing the price.

Through different gestures, it represented Jenny ranging from 10,000 to 5 million.

Besides that, the most special gesture was to give a thumbs up, which meant increasing the same amount as the previous person.

Bang!

"15 million Jenny!"

Seeing this, the host knocked once and announced loudly.

Biscuit in the private room had an unchanged expression and raised a thumb, which the host could see completely through the transparent window.

She was determined to win this ruby and went straight up with the highest increase.

Using this gesture had another subtext, which was to tell others that she was determined to win this auction item.

Advising others not to fight hard with her, so as not to waste more time and money.

Bang!

"20 million Jenny once!"

"20 million Jenny twice!"

Finally, after some competition, Biscuit bought this ruby at the cost of 300 million Jenny.

And this was about the real value of this ruby.

But for Biscuit, as long as she could buy the gemstones she liked, she was willing to spend more money.

After all, money could be earned again, but if the gemstones were missed, it would be hard to get them.

Seeing Biscuit spend 300 million Jenny casually, Machi was a little envious, and at the same time suddenly felt that she didn't seem to be that rich.

At least she couldn't take out 300 million Jenny by far.

"Hehehe... ruby..."

On the other hand, Biscuit didn't feel bad at all and was still fantasizing about how to appreciate the gemstone after getting it.

Inside the party hall,

Luo Ge looked at the man with a humble and cautious expression in front of him and felt surprised.

He didn't expect that the main owner had not appeared yet, but someone he didn't expect, but seemed to be in reason, appeared.

Standing in front of him at this moment was a middle-aged man about thirty years old, combing a big back head that conformed to the current gang trend.

His hair was still pitch black, there were not so many wrinkles on his face, and he had a square face that looked upright.

The visitor was named Light Nostrade, the head of the Nostrade family in the original work.

But he was currently just a third-rate gang head in the local area.

A few years later, after his daughter Neon awakened the Nen ability with divination effects, he gained the appreciation of many big shots.

Relying on his daughter’s ability, this family grew to the level it later reached.

Light showed a flattering smile, stood in front of Luo Ge, couldn't help but lower his head by half, and handed out his business card.

"Hello, my lord, I am the head of the Nostrade family, my name is 'Light'."

It was called a business card, but the business card between gangs was not a business card in the simple sense.

The business card was not an ordinary piece of paper, but a mezzanine paper shell similar to a wallet, with his main information written on the outside.

This information included name, current territory, business operated...

And the middle of the mezzanine was used to put money.

This was an unspoken rule for gangs to deal with each other; if it was a gang of the same level, there was no need to put money.

If a lower-level gang took the initiative to get to know a higher-level gang, then they needed to put money in the mezzanine, and the specific amount was decided by the individual.

The more money put in, the more sincere the lower-level gang was; it was said that many gangs would directly put bank cards in it.

Casually taking the bulging business card, Luo Ge didn't even have the idea of looking at the money inside, but was a little curious about Light’s approach.

The outside world generally knew that the head of the Eila family was Zhu Di, not him.

He believed that many people present felt that between him and Zhu Di, Zhu Di was the dominant position, and he was more like a bodyguard.

Then he should have handed the business card to Zhu Di, not him.

Perhaps a few gangs knew the inside story, but he didn't think Light had the qualification to know the inside story.

So...

Was it judged by eyesight?
