Chapter 117: This Is Clearly a Greenhorn

Luo Yingying pointed at the ten property deeds in the two attendants' hands: "The ten shops on Back Street were originally established by the ten major sects of the Changheng Star Domain."

"Now that the ten major sects are downsizing their assets, they have been left vacant."

"Everyone knows that these ten shops have superior geographical locations; otherwise, they wouldn't have been favored by the ten major sects."

She took out a property deed directly: "The auction begins now!"

"Shop Number Ten, starting price ten million Low-grade Spirit Stones, please place your bids!"

She made it sound nice.

In reality, everyone knew that the ten major sects looked down on this godforsaken, remote place and left because they disliked the low returns.

Furthermore, the Tianshan Sect had not purchased any shops, so one shop had always remained vacant.

As soon as her voice fell, the big fatty sitting in seat number five immediately called out: "Fifty million Low-grade Spirit Stones!"

The crowd was instantly in an uproar, all looking over in unison.

Lu Tianyu also looked at the pot-bellied fatty.

The fatty was covered in rolls of fat, his facial features seemingly distorted by the flesh, and his two small eyes were darting around.

This person had suddenly raised the price to fifty million, looking very much like he was determined to win.

Luo Yingying was also slightly stunned.

The price of the shop was surely more than fifty million Spirit Stones.

Once a shop is bought, it is owned for life, and business is a long-term profit; it would all be earned back eventually.

Her original target price was eighty million to one hundred million.

But after this fatty's reckless bidding, it might not reach that price.

And the facts were indeed so.

Seeing the fatty's determination, the crowd did not make any more bids.

Since the fatty was bent on getting Number Ten, it was better to grant him a favor and let him not participate in the competition for other shops or drive up the prices.

The fatty's big mouth split open, revealing a simple and honest appearance.

Lu Tianyu shook his head slightly.

This fatty looked simple-minded, but he was actually very shrewd; he would surely stir up some trouble later.

However, he was not in a hurry to bid, preferring to watch the situation first.

His favorite number was 'five', and he wanted to wait until Shop Number Five went up for auction before making a move.

Luo Yingying smiled helplessly: "Fifty million Low-grade Spirit Stones, going once!"

"Fifty million Low-grade Spirit Stones, going twice!"

"Fifty million Low-grade Spirit Stones, going three times!"

"Congratulations to this gentleman for obtaining the ownership of Shop Number Ten, please come up to the stage to complete the transaction!"

At this moment, she regretted setting the starting price so low.

After the transaction for Shop Number Ten was completed, Luo Yingying directly took out the property deed for Shop Number Nine: "Shop Number Nine, auction begins!"

"Starting price ten million Low-grade Spirit Stones, each increment must be no less than ten million, please place your bids!"

But as soon as her voice fell, the big fatty in seat number five immediately raised his number plate and shouted at the top of his lungs: "One hundred million Low-grade Spirit Stones!"

The fat on the fatty's face trembled, and his small eyes darted around.

The crowd was instantly dumbfounded!

What is this damn fatty trying to do?

You have already bought one shop at a low price, do you still want to buy a second one?

This is going a bit too far.

Others gave you face and didn't compete with you for Shop Number Ten; you should be grateful and not compete with us for the second one.

But the problem arose again.

One hundred million Spirit Stones was the maximum price for Shop Number Nine; bidding any higher would be a bit much.

Should they bid or not?

Not bidding felt quite unwilling!

They never would have imagined that the damn fatty would pull such a stunt.

The fatty watched the expressions of the crowd, thinking to himself, how can you clowns fight me?

Lu Tianyu knew the damn fatty would stir up some trouble, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

However, he had no intention of bidding yet; he would just watch the show.

But just then, Guo Zhuying's voice transmission sounded in Lu Tianyu's mind: "Young Master, Shop Number Nine has always been vacant; in my opinion, it is more suitable to buy this shop."

"The other shops have already been fitted out, and we would have to tear them down and redecorate."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianyu was immediately moved.

Naturally, he wanted to decorate the shop according to his own wishes, and his original plan was to renovate after buying.

But if he could encounter a shop that hadn't been decorated, that would naturally be the most suitable.

Since the damn fatty bid such a high price all at once, he must know that Shop Number Nine is worth one hundred million.

As for Shop Number Five, it wouldn't be a pity to give it up; the number doesn't represent anything.

Thinking of this, Lu Tianyu immediately raised his number plate: "One hundred and ten million Low-grade Spirit Stones!"

Swish, swish, swish~

The crowd's gazes all swept over in unison.

Many of those gazes were extremely unfriendly.

This brat has made a move again; he really has no eyes!

They were all here for the shop; the other items were just things they bought in passing.

This kid doesn't buy other items, yet he insists on participating in the competition for this shop.

Could it be that he doesn't think he has offended enough people yet?

He is clearly just a hotheaded fool!

Since you have placed a bid, then go ahead; it would be best if you fight the fat guy until you are both battered and bruised, with no strength left to participate in the contention for other shops.

In any case, the later shops are better, so there is no need to rush to make a move.

Only the man in the silver robe looked calm, while the rest of the people revealed expressions of disdain.

Especially Tian Shiguang, who had a face full of coldness.

He thought to himself, "Keep acting cocky, kid; soon enough, all your things will be mine."

The gaze Luo Yingying directed at Lu Tianyu was also somewhat unkind.

She represented the Liuli Sect and knew that Lu Tianyu had offended their great benefactor, Tian Shiguang.

However, as the auctioning party, she could not take a stance for now, but once the auction ended, she would make her move.

The fat guy clearly did not expect Lu Tianyu to make a move; after being slightly stunned, he immediately increased the bid: "130 million Low-grade Spirit Stones!"

He increased it by 20 million all at once, wanting to make Lu Tianyu retreat in the face of difficulty.

But Lu Tianyu did not even blink: "150 million!"

He directly added another 20 million.

150 million Low-grade Spirit Stones was merely 150 Top-grade Spirit Stones; he still had that much spirit stone wealth.

The spirit stones inside the storage ring of the Black Bone Ancestor, whom he had wiped out, were quite numerous, and added to the spirit stones he obtained from the Nether Sect, he was not lacking in spirit stones at all.

Since he had decided to make a move, he would see it through to the end!

Upon hearing this, the fat guy was stunned again, but he still raised his paddle to increase the bid: "170 million!"

"180 million!"

"200 million!"

"210 million!"

When the price reached this point, the fat guy finally stopped bidding.

He felt that increasing it further would be inappropriate, so what harm was there in letting Lu Tianyu have it?

Luo Yingying, however, was blooming with joy inside.

This silly kid actually bid 200 million; it seems he has quite a lot of spirit stones on him, and after slaughtering him later, she would surely be able to divide up some of them.

"210 million, going once!"

"210 million, going twice!"

"210 million, three times, sold!"

Lu Tianyu went on stage to complete the transaction for Shi Hao Dian Pu and finally let out a sigh of relief.

The purpose of attending this auction was to obtain a shop, and now he had achieved his wish.

He did not participate in the auction for the subsequent eight shops.

What was inconceivable was that the fat guy continued to make moves as always, luckily obtaining two more shops.

Moreover, he participated in the bidding for every single shop, making the other participants gnash their teeth in hatred.

Luo Yingying's crisp and melodious voice rang out: "The shop auction has ended; the last three precious items are now up for auction!"

"The first item is: the Nether Sacred Fruit!"
