Chapter 1100

It seemed everyone's enthusiasm wasn't very high.

After all, it was already considered the market price now, with a minimum bid increment of 100 gold coins per round; bidding any higher would make the price too steep.

But for Zhao Chi, this was a necessity, so paying a bit more was worth it.

The host began the second confirmation.

Zhao Chi raised his hand again.

The host's delight was written all over his face as he laughed loudly: "Good! I saw it! Our distinguished guest L0024 has raised the bid again — 4,900 gold coins! We're almost at 5,000 gold coins! Is there any chance today we'll break through 5,000 gold coins?"

The beastman in the diagonally forward seat turned his head in fury: "Fuck your mother, are you looking to die?"

His voice was so loud that it made everyone turn their heads.

Zhao Chi was utterly shocked.

Not because of being cursed out, but because he was shocked that this beastman would actually insult another bidding distinguished guest right at the auction, in front of all the VIPs?

This was outrageous.

It was extremely unbefitting of his status.

Could he be some nouveau riche?

Gu Qing narrowed her eyes at the beastman, while Qi Yue stared coldly at the beastman.

Zhuang Ya nearly stood up, but she knew that without Zhao Chi's order, she couldn't act rashly — she had to follow Zhao Chi's lead now.

The beastman said: "Damn it, try raising the price one more time!"

Damn!

At worst, he'd return to the territory immediately and forget about it.

Zhao Chi immediately roared: "

"What the fuck do you think you are? Tired of living, you stupid beastman? You broke-ass piece of trash, what are you even doing at an auction? If you have no money, get the hell out!"

Of course Zhao Chi had no prejudice against the poor — this was merely to hit back at the beastman.

The beastman was stunned for a moment.

His expression was one of shock and bewilderment.

All the surrounding VIPs scattered away.

After all, they were all people of status — getting caught up in this would be far too undignified.

That was exactly why Zhao Chi was puzzled: this beastman seemed to care nothing about face or dignity.

Two seconds later, the beastman came back to his senses.

"What the fuck did you just say!?"

He roared as he stood up.

Furious and aggressive.

Zhuang Ya also sprang to her feet: "She said you're a stupid piece of shit tired of living — can't you understand human speech? You lowlife trash!"

Since Zhao Chi had cursed him out, Zhuang Ya could now speak up too.

Qi Yue and Gu Qing also stood up — one ready to draw her blade, the other ready to shoot web-silk.

From the opposite side seats, several beastmen also stood up, all looking like they were no pushovers.

The beastman's eyes visibly reddened.

At this moment, the staff all crowded over.

The host said with a hint of anger: "Mr. D016, you should know the auction rules. Even though you're a D-level VIP, you cannot violate them. I'm giving you one warning now — if you interfere with or threaten other bidding guests again, we will have you removed and report you to the Public Security Bureau to hold you accountable."

Immediately after, the host said to Tang Ruan: "Young Lady L0024, even if someone provoked you, you shouldn't have engaged in direct confrontation — that's for us to handle here. Your subordinates also need to be kept in check. I won't give you a warning this time, but I hope you can trust us a bit more next time."

The staff beside them had spiritual power fluctuations rising from their bodies, and spiritual techniques were already gathering.

Zhao Chi nodded and sat down.

The beastman looked like he was about to explode with rage, but he also restrained himself and sat down, then raised his hand.

The host inquired: "Mr. D016, are you placing a bid?"

The beastman said, extremely displeased: "Obviously!"

The host nodded: "Mr. D016 bids 5,000 gold coins!"

At this moment, the beastman turned his head again.

Though he said nothing, he stared fixedly at Tang Ruan.

Zhao Chi also said nothing.

After all, he only had 5,148 gold coins — he could only raise his hand one more time.

Facing the beastman's threatening gaze, Zhao Chi could only think he looked like a retard.

What — you think if you glare at me, I won't dare raise my hand?

What a feeble-minded idea.

Zhao Chi smiled at him, letting him watch helplessly as he raised his hand.

The host nodded and smiled at Zhao Chi in approval.

"Excellent! Distinguished guest L0024 has raised the price to 5,100 gold coins! Any other bids?"

The beastman laughed.

A vicious, teeth-gritting laugh.

Zhao Chi already had no more gold coins to bid with.

Yet the beastman didn't raise his hand again either.

The host said: "5,100 gold coins, second call — anyone else bidding?"

"2 Racial Gene Expansion Stones, currently at 5,100 gold coins — the price isn't high, there's still some room. Anyone raising their hand?"

The beastman still did not raise his hand.

He was just breathing very heavily.

From behind, one could tell he was about to explode with rage.

The other VIP guests in the ring around him all silently changed their seats, moving away from this violent, crude beastman.

Zhao Chi found it utterly baffling.

If you can't afford it, don't buy it.

An auction belongs to whoever bids the highest.

You don't even know that, and you still came to an auction?

Does he really think the name of the Emerald Stone Society is that useful?

Now he's about to work himself to death over it — isn't that just being a lunatic?

"Very well, 5,100 gold coins, third and final call — sold!"

Bang!

With the fall of the wooden gavel, the ownership of those two Race Expansion Stones was sealed.

It seemed that beastman only had 5,000 gold coins.

Still, 5,000 gold coins was no small sum — he was indeed a VIP after all, and did have some financial muscle.

The host smiled as he looked at Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi didn't quite understand that smile.

Perhaps the host also couldn't stand that beastman?

Now that Zhao Chi had won the bid, was the host a little pleased too?

It was indeed possible.

After all, everyone enjoyed watching the "bad guy" fail.

Soon, a staff member came over and asked Zhao Chi to sign.

Zhao Chi signed the two characters "Zhao Yu" in a grand, open manner.

Bold and vigorous strokes.

With none of a woman's graceful, delicate handwriting — instead, a restrained yet flamboyant style.

At this moment, the system prompt popped up:

【You have successfully bid 5,100 gold coins to win Lot No. 6 of "Gude Auction House" — 2 "Race Gene Expansion Stones." Please proceed to the VIP transaction room after this auction concludes to collect your purchase.】

Done!

Only the last lot remained.

It was that Mountain Giant race bloodline, going for as much as 20,000 gold coins.
