Chapter 134

~8 min read 1,444 words

Just under the questioning of netizens and some of the audience at the scene.

The emcee began to display the first auction item of the day.

As expected, the first item was the Snake-Eyed Copper Fish!

The copper fish was placed in a glass container, and the same clerk who had delivered the Sky Lantern earlier held a long bamboo pole to hook the glass cover onto it.

Then it was steadily delivered to each guest for close-up viewing.

An auction is like this, it emphasizes "eye-testing."

You can only watch from a close distance; whether you can buy a genuine item depends entirely on your eyes!

And the clerk's hand was very steady; for guests further away, the bamboo pole had been extended by several sections, but the clerk's hand didn't shake at all.

At this time, the emcee said: "Bosses, the goods are moving now, you all better watch closely, if you miss it, there won't be a next time!"

The Snake-Eyed Copper Fish was thus viewed by everyone in the venue.

Many people were disappointed after seeing it up close.

Apart from the fine craftsmanship, this copper fish really didn't seem to have much value!

Although the scales on the fish were distinct, it didn't warrant a starting price of 10 million!

Many people felt that the Crescent Hotel's pricing was inflated and were already preparing to withdraw from the auction.

Yin Yin Nanfeng saw this situation from above and smiled at Zhang Lin: "Look, this is a businessman."

"No matter how rich they are, they still have to weigh things when doing business."

"Even I think this Snake-Eyed Copper Fish isn't worth 10 million, but the seller insists on setting it this way, and there's nothing we can do."

"If you reveal the secret now, I guess these people will just leave after watching the excitement."

Zhang Lin replied: "Then they can only sit until the end, this secret will only be told to the person who wins the bid."

Just at this moment, the emcee announced: "Everyone watch closely, I won't introduce this Snake-Eyed Copper Fish too much."

"This copper fish is something that has been in the news, originating from the Mirror Palace in Wofoling, Guangxi."

"Mr. Zhang Lin, who tells stories at Sancheng Garden, said that there is a big secret on the Snake-Eyed Copper Fish."

"However, this secret, Mr. Zhang can only tell the person who wins the copper fish!"

"Now the bidding begins, the starting price is 10 million, and each increase is not less than 100,000!"

Hearing this, the whole venue was in an uproar.

Many people didn't start ringing their bells but started shouting.

"What do you mean? You Crescent Hotel?"

"That's right, Mr. Zhang said before that he would tell the secret before the auction, why has it changed now?"

"Yes, if it's only told to the person who wins the copper fish, then what are we here for today?"

"Damn it, isn't this making us run for nothing?!"

"Let Mr. Zhang come out and explain to us what's going on?"

The noise in the hall was particularly loud, but the emcee was also someone who had seen the world.

She immediately said: "Everyone, this prerequisite was set by my Crescent Hotel and has nothing to do with Mr. Zhang."

"Soon, Mr. Zhang will be telling stories at the Crescent Hotel and is an employee of my Crescent Hotel."

"If you are dissatisfied, you can ask our boss directly, don't look for Mr. Zhang."

"Also, although Mr. Zhang will tell the secret to the buyer who wins the copper fish, the Crescent Hotel does not restrict the buyer's decision."

"Perhaps some generous boss will let Mr. Zhang tell the secret in public after winning the copper fish, wouldn't you all profit from that?"

Hearing this, the guests in the venue hadn't had time to react.

The Chen family son-in-law Ye Fan suddenly said: "Everyone, my Sky Lantern was lit for this Snake-Eyed Copper Fish!"

"As long as I win the copper fish, then the secret inside, I will let that..."

"What's that person's name again? Sigh, it doesn't matter!"

"Anyway, I will let that stinky storyteller tell the secret in public!"

"Everyone just sit at ease and wait for me to win the copper fish!"

After Ye Fan said this, everyone looked at him in shock.

Then they turned their eyes to Yang Lu!

Because this time it was Yang Lu dueling with Ye Fan, and Ye Fan agreed to reveal the secret after winning the copper fish, what about Yang Lu?

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, as if forcing her to make the same promise as Ye Fan.

But Yang Lu just looked at everyone with a smile.

Then she said slowly: "Mr. Ye is generous."

"However... let's see if you can win it first."

This was mocking Ye Fan for being arrogant; the price hadn't even started being called, and he thought the item was already his?

Yang Lu's sarcasm instantly infuriated Ye Fan.

He glared at Yang Lu and said viciously: "Then Leader Yang, just wait to be outbid!"

After all the guests in the venue verified the Snake-Eyed Copper Fish, the emcee announced the start of the auction.

Suddenly, the sound of bells in the venue became chaotic!

Everyone looked at Sheng Sheng Sheng Man beside the emcee, as they had been informed earlier.

Sheng Sheng Sheng Man was responsible for recording the bids for the entire venue.

Those who hadn't seen Sheng Sheng Sheng Man's ability wanted to see how she would distinguish this pile of messy bell sounds.

But after one round of ringing, Sheng Sheng Sheng Man accurately reported the number of times each person had rung.

The emcee accumulated the price based on what Sheng Sheng Sheng Man said.

After just one round, the bidding for the Snake-Eyed Copper Fish had soared to 50 million!

At this moment, the netizens watching the livestream were all spamming the barrage, saying they didn't believe it at all.

[This is impossible!]

[I also think it's impossible, I didn't hear anything, just a piece of bell ringing, and this young lady can actually distinguish it accurately?]

[Don't know if it's true or false, let's see the reaction of the people at the scene first!]

[Too eerie, if she can really hear it, it's simply not a human ear.]

[Almost as soon as people rang the bell, she reported the price accurately, I really suspect she's just making it up.]

Although the netizens watching the livestream were extremely skeptical, the facts proved that Sheng Sheng Sheng Man didn't mishear a single bell sound.

All the buyers in the venue stared wide-eyed at the results.

And the bidding details reported by Sheng Sheng Sheng Man were all correct without a single error!

More than half of the people in the venue looked at Sheng Sheng Sheng Man in shock.

But the emcee's actions didn't stop, and she immediately announced the start of the second round of bidding.

The starting price for this round of ringing was 1 million!

Instantly, the venue became chaotic again, and bells rang everywhere!

Which bell rang first, which rang later, how many times it rang, and where it came from, Sheng Sheng Sheng Man heard it all clearly.

After a while, the price was raised to 100 million again.

At this moment, the number of people ringing bells in the venue had significantly decreased.

A Snake-Eyed Copper Fish not even worth 10 million being called to 100 million is already a ten-fold premium.

Many people directly put down the bells in their hands and stopped joining the fun.

As for those who still had the strength to raise the price, they wanted to give it another shot.

At this time, many people who entered the livestream room after hearing the news hadn't seen the first half.

They only saw text livestreams online, the price was soaring extremely fast, and the Crescent Hotel even brought out a "clairaudient" to report the bids.

Many people couldn't bear it anymore and secretly watched the livestream at the risk of being fired by their bosses.

[Where are we, where are we? Can any brother summarize it!]

[It's already at 200 million, now it's halftime.]

[Anyway, there are no more than ten people still participating in the bidding.]

[Damn, 200 million? What are they calling for? Whoever buys it at this price is a sucker!]

[Pfft! This is just the beginning, these are the remaining big shots who don't care about money competing, there are still two people who lit Sky Lanterns later, what are you afraid of?]
