Chapter 282: Chapter 58 Stop Comparing When You Have No Money
Gaoling Family?
Mu Fan’s mind suddenly flashed, Loga Star… Shelly… Gaoling Sen!
Right, Gaoling Sen had indeed claimed to be from the Gaoling Family of Blue Capital Star.
The family of little fatty Harry’s mother.
This was the biggest support for Harry’s ability to come to Blue Capital Star!
The man who had now stood up claimed to be from the Gaoling Family, so he must be from the same family as Gaoling Sen.
What a coincidence!
To encounter someone from the Gaoling Family here, though I don’t know exactly who from the Gaoling Family he is, the tone of his speech indicates that his status within the family must be high.
Murmurs spread throughout the venue, indicating the name Gaoling Family certainly carried significant recognition in at least Zhongjing City of Blue Capital Star.
“Harryson, raise your bid!”
“How can I, bro? This is the Gaoling Family. My dad’s business is downstream from theirs, and I don’t want to offend Gaoling Ze, the second young master of the Gaoling Family. His status is too high.”
“I’m really not willing to give up.”
“There are many who are unwilling, but we really don’t stand a chance… Alright, I’ll come down and console you.”
“20,000 for one night!”
“Fine, even 50,000 would do.”
Finally, the complaints around him ceased.
And the assistant next to Beishan Xinyue finally brought down the small hammer.
“Sold, congratulations to buyer number 5 for successfully acquiring the first item of this auction.”
Beishan Xinyue, with her charming and alluring eyes, looked at the standing Gaoling Ze and spoke with a magnetic and seductive voice, “Xinyue wishes Young Master Gaoling Ze a happy life in advance.”
“Ha ha, well said, it would be an even greater honor if I could have the privilege of inviting Miss Xinyue to join me for dinner.”
“Unfortunately, the auction house has been really busy lately, I truly apologize, Young Master Gaoling.”
“Alright, this auction has kicked off on a high note, and those who didn’t succeed in bidding shouldn’t be disheartened because here at Star Curtain, it’s our tradition to make our esteemed guests always look forward to the next item!”
Beishan Xinyue, with her enticing appearance and elegant demeanor, gently waved her hand. This time, the lights didn’t dim, and another item was pushed onto the stage.
It was very small, very small!
It was brought on stage by an old man in a tailcoat holding a tray.
What was this?
A red satin cloth covered the tray, arousing countless thoughts.
Beishan Xinyue looked at the audience’s focused attention and smiled slightly, “A 2,700 square meter villa at Blue Moon Bay in Zhongjing City. For those unfamiliar with Blue Moon Bay, it is the top residential area for the wealthiest on Blue Capital Star. Among the top fifty richest people on Blue Capital Star, 27 reside here…”
Some guests who were new to Blue Capital Star gasped in awe.
This was truly a land worth its weight in gold!
“The starting bid is 15 billion Star Coins, with each increment not less than 10 million. This is the residence of the former Finance Minister of Blue Capital Star, who, due to his promotion, has entrusted our establishment to handle it, and I need not say more about how good this opportunity is.”
“18 billion!”
“19 billion!”
…
Hearing these numbers, Mu Fan had already become numb… If it weren’t for Black’s repeated requests, he probably would have left long ago.
300,000, it felt like you could only buy a small Miluo here, and the kind without juice…
When Beishan Xinyue finally said “congratulations to the distinguished buyer number three,” people turned their gazes toward the quiet figure sitting in the first row.
This auction really was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
“The third item, a Grade-S Mecha Chip from the Mogomodo Laboratory—Sky Jump First Generation.”
“Certified by the Interstellar Mecha Association, it increases the performance of mechas with engines of sixth generation or higher by 5%-15%, with the improvement rate increasing as the mecha level increases. This S-grade chip is the third sold on Blue Capital within two years, with a starting bid of 15 million and each increment not less than 1 million.”
This auction item caught Mu Fan’s interest, but upon hearing the price, Mu Fan instantly gave up.
15 million, and that’s just the starting price!
What the hell!
Mu Fan now simply closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat.
Every extra second here felt like torture.
He just hoped to quickly reach the item called Heart-locking Grass, bid on it, and then leave.
“If I can’t get this, I’m outta here…”
As Mu Fan closed his eyes, twenty meters behind him, a young man with a tuft of white hair, suddenly lit up with excitement.
“Sky Jump First Generation! This is a first-generation chip with a 25% expansion capacity! Should I bid on it?”
The people nearby looked at White Hair Slut Man with disdain, thinking to themselves, with that flamboyant demeanour, there’s no way he could afford a 20 million Star Coins chip!
Sure enough, ten seconds later, the price had soared to 22 million. It had surpassed the price of a typical B-Class adventure Mecha!
But as everyone knew, anything from Star Curtain was a premium product, and many in the audience were from high-tech corporations.
Everyone deeply admired Star Curtain for securing chips from the Mogomodo Laboratory, a Mecha research lab established in collaboration between the Federation and Hinchlo.
The auctioneer was Osido Morris, a former professor from the Dawn Academy’s Department of Dynamics.
Mogomodo’s products were definitely top-tier commodities among the interstellar!
“22 million, anyone else?”
“24 million,” the bidder on the holographic screen changed to number 5.
That was just Gaoling Ze, now snuggling with a scantily clad Jigu clan slave girl, grinning as he gazed at the auction stage where Beishan Xinyue stood.
The Gaoling Family, was known for their deep pockets.
Ah, was this guy going to buy it again?
Just as everyone thought the dust had settled,
“26 million, buyer 541.”
Huh? Who’s this?
So far back in the bidding.
While everyone searched, the person next to White Hair’s jaw dropped. Had he seen it wrong just now? This flamboyant guy next to him seemed to have just bid, pushing the price up incrementally, each increase pounding on his heart.
Damn you, are you here to mess around?
With that kind of money, you should be sitting in the first 500 seats.
With your wealth, you should be in the first two rows!
Unfortunately, he didn’t know that this was White Hair’s first time at a Star Curtain auction; had he known seats in the first two rows were reserved for billionaires, he would’ve opted for a close-up view of Beishan Xinyue’s long, sexy legs.
“28 million, buyer number 5.”
“29 million, buyer 541.”
“30 million, buyer number 5.” At the same time, Gaoling Ze stood up and called out to the back, “My friend, please give Gaoling Ze some face; we wouldn’t want to hurt feelings.”
The sultry-eyed woman in his arms turned heads in the front rows.
Such a temptress!
Jigu women are all top-notch!
Mu Fan opened his eyes and saw the state of Gaoling Ze; his skin was overly pale, likely a sign of physical frailty, inadequate energy and blood circulation.
“40 million.”
Then a cheeky voice rang out, making Mu Fan suddenly look back. He was all too familiar with this voice.
“Why the hell should I give you face? Are you handsomer or more flamboyant than me? Even the chick you’re holding is sassier than you!”
The auction hall lights timely cast upon him.
Under the soft light, a figure in a flashy studded leather jacket, his white hair standing tall, and an excessively garish purple eyeshadow announcing his bold demeanor, the whole person seemed like he had just walked out of a dye shop.
People nearby had almost shrunken into the adjacent seats.
Damn, where did this joker come from?
Beishan Xinyue, for the first time, showed a startled expression as she gazed at this grand figure across the hall.
Seeing Beishan Xinyue’s gaze, White Hair raised his eyebrow suggestively and continued arrogantly: “Don’t compete if you’re broke. Hurry up, I’m here to clean up, running on a tight schedule.”
Pfft~
Beishan Xinyue covered her mouth, accidentally laughing out loud.
