Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 240: Chapter 239: Fooling Wei Qun

Chu Linfeng stopped practicing and his first reaction was to press the ten-thousand button on the table ten times, which meant he bid directly at a hundred thousand Star Stones.

This move once again left Wei Qun speechless, and the auction stage once again flashed a yellow light.

Ling’er looked up at Chu Linfeng’s VIP Room No. 3 and said, ”Room No. 3 has already bid a hundred thousand Star Stones, is there anyone willing to bid higher than a hundred thousand Star Stones?”

This voice felt like a thunderbolt on a clear day, leaving everyone dizzy. The base price had just been announced as one ten thousand Star Stone, and this guy directly made a bid of a hundred thousand Star Stones, truly a local tycoon.

The starting Great Rejuvenation Pill was directly purchased with five thousand Star Stones, and nobody thought much of it. Bidding up a few thousand Star Stones in a VIP room was normal, but raising the bid by ninety thousand was something everyone found hard to accept.

For a while, everyone began to talk, especially those eyeing the Li-Fire Sword who harbored deep resentment towards Chu Linfeng, feeling he was not giving anyone else a chance and completely ignoring everyone’s sentiments.

All the blame was directed at Chu Linfeng’s VIP Room No. 3, and many people even started cursing, intensifying the atmosphere to a climax.

”Everyone quiet! Everyone quiet! If no one bids higher than a hundred thousand Star Stones, then the owner of this Li-Fire Sword will be the guest in VIP Room No. 3,” Ling’er said at this moment.

The atmosphere quieted down significantly, and then suddenly a voice called out, ”I offer a hundred and ten thousand Star Stones for the Li-Fire Sword. Please, everyone, show mercy; I really need a fire attribute weapon.”

”A guest has bid a hundred and ten thousand? Is there anyone willing to bid higher than a hundred and ten thousand?” Ling’er continued to ask.

Suddenly, a green light flashed on the auction stage, leaving everyone puzzled as they looked at VIP Room No. 4. At this moment, Ling’er said, ”The guest in VIP Room No. 4 has bid a hundred and fifty thousand Star Stones. Is there anyone willing to exceed a hundred and fifty thousand Star Stones?”

(Earlier it was forgotten to explain, this was Xiao Xiao’s oversight. There are a total of seven VIP rooms, each with a different colored light when a button is pressed, divided into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple.

The buttons pressed display data on the auction stage, so it’s possible to see the bidding data.)

It had already reached a hundred and fifty thousand Star Stones, a number beyond the reach of many. After all, an upper grade Spirit Sword wasn’t worth this much, causing many hopefuls to give up.

The person who had bid a hundred and ten thousand was immediately dissatisfied and shouted, ”Who is opposing me? If I find out, I’ll make you regret it. Damn, I badly need a weapon and yet you’re contesting it.”

Wei Qun looked at Chu Linfeng and asked, ”Xiaotian, they’ve already offered a hundred and fifty thousand, won’t you bid?”

”No rush, I’ll wait to see if anyone else bids. If indeed there’s no one else, we’ll talk then. For now, the attention is on VIP Room No. 4, do you understand?” Chu Linfeng smiled.

His earlier actions had already attracted some attention, and he had to restrain himself. He knew the adage of ”the shot striking the bird that sticks out” well.

Everyone speculated on who was in VIP Room No. 4, as there were only a few families in Xuanwu City capable of entering a VIP room, and with a thorough investigation, it wouldn’t be hard to find out.

While everyone was discussing whether VIP Room No. 3 would increase the bid, the auction stage lights flashed red, indicating VIP Room No. 1.

”VIP Room No. 1 offers two hundred thousand Star Stones, is there anyone willing to exceed two hundred thousand Star Stones?” Ling’er asked.

”Hehe, they couldn’t hold back, interesting.” Chu Linfeng chuckled.

”Do you want to increase the bid?” By now, Wei Qun had already considered Chu Linfeng a genuine tycoon, his earlier worries having vanished.

”No hurry, let’s wait a bit. I might not even need this sword, but if I can draw hatred from these people, it would benefit my future auctions.” Chu Linfeng chuckled.

Wei Qun didn’t quite understand Chu Linfeng’s meaning. Just as he was about to ask, VIP Room No. 4 made another bid.

Ling’er quickly said, ”VIP Room No. 4 offers two hundred and fifty thousand Star Stones. Is there anyone willing to bid higher than two hundred and fifty thousand Star Stones?”

Nobody expected today’s last auction item would reach such a sky-high price, leaving everyone astonished.

”I’ll play along with him, Brother Wei, increase by one thousand!” Chu Linfeng chuckled.

With a puzzled glance at Chu Linfeng, Wei Qun walked to the button and pressed it to add one thousand.

”Twenty-six thousand Star Stones from VIP Room No. 3!”

”Thirty thousand Star Stones from VIP Room No. 1!”

”Why did you only increase by one thousand this time?” Wei Qun asked.

”If I raise it too much, I’m afraid others won’t follow. Wouldn’t I be at a loss? This Li-Fire Sword is at most worth a hundred thousand Star Stones; it’s already fetched so much more, it should be enough.” Chu Linfeng chuckled, indicating he was ready to give up.

”Are there any guests willing to exceed thirty thousand Star Stones? Is there anyone willing to exceed thirty thousand?” Ling’er asked three times, and when no one increased the bid, she continued, ”The Li-Fire Sword goes to the guest in VIP Room No. 1. Today’s auction is over. Tomorrow will be an auction with Wenqin and Pingwu, featuring very precious items. Guests should prepare sufficient Star Stones to purchase better items.”

Following this, people naturally moved on to exchanging Star Stones for items. Chu Linfeng didn’t have enough Star Stones and could only sit in the VIP room awaiting someone to address the matter.

”Xiaotian, why don’t you go get what you bought?” Wei Qun asked, seeing that Chu Linfeng was still there and hadn’t moved.

”I don’t have Star Stones, why?” Chu Linfeng smiled.

This statement startled Wei Qun to the point of sitting on the ground, looking at Chu Linfeng in shock, he asked, ”You really don’t?”

”I already said I don’t have any, why don’t you believe me? I’m just waiting here for someone to handle this.” Chu Linfeng maintained an appearance of complete calm.

”Dear Lord, you kid really screwed me this time. Pretending to be rich without Star Stones, now it’s over, my dream of going to the Imperial City to become an Imperial City Guard is shattered.” Wei Qun said, looking deflated and worried.

”What are you worrying about? Without Star Stones, you can’t buy it anyway. Are you so spineless? How can you be so scared over such a minor issue?” Chu Linfeng said.

”With my elderly mother at the top and my wife and children at the bottom, I was counting on becoming an Imperial City Guard to support my family, and you’ve ruined everything.” Wei Qun said, feeling like crying but unable to.

”Don’t worry, if I say no problem, then there’s no problem, trust me.” Chu Linfeng felt it was time to stop, lest this guy really be spooked to death by him.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, a sound like a sharp blade that made Wei Qun shiver.

”Master, may I come in?” Ling’er’s voice came.

”Come in!” Chu Linfeng chuckled.

Ling’er walked in, holding a red bottle containing the Great Rejuvenation Pill. She approached Chu Linfeng and said, ”This is the Great Rejuvenation Pill you won!” and handed it over to him.

”Hmm, good! Bring me some food later, I won’t be returning tonight; this identity needs to be kept secret.” Chu Linfeng chuckled.

”Does the master have any other instructions?” Ling’er asked respectfully.

”That’s all. If you want, you can ask your Master to come over and have a chat. Just say I asked.” Chu Linfeng smiled.

”Then I will take my leave and convey your words to our Master,” Ling’er said before closing the door and leaving.

At this moment, Wei Qun was looking at Chu Linfeng as if he was a monster. It was a while before he spoke, ”How can we not be in trouble? You even asked the Master to come over, who are you really, Xiaotian?”

”Haha! I am who I am. I told you it’d be fine and you didn’t believe me. Do you believe now?” Chu Linfeng chuckled.

”Believe! Believe!” Wei Qun replied in fear, his heart once again clambering higher in intrigue over Chu Linfeng’s mystery...
