Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2389: Chapter 2390: Fierce Bidding War

”What’s going on? Could it be that this piece of scrap metal has some special quality? Otherwise, why is there suddenly such fierce bidding?” someone exclaimed anxiously.

Many others stood up abruptly, staring intently at the metallic component on the stage, faces showing deep contemplation.

It was previously mentioned that those present here aren’t simple folk, among them are many seasoned treasure hunters, yet even they couldn’t discern anything special about this metal component.

Si Mingqi looked equally bewildered.

He initially thought this item just seemed a bit odd, and that’s why he raised his paddle to bid. But he never expected the person in the box to be so aggressive, directly adding one hundred Spirit Crystals.

This might not be a huge sum, but it’s not something an ordinary person could afford.

He soon calmed down and resolutely decided to raise his paddle again.

Since those in the box are willing to pay such a high price for the metal component, it confirms that it indeed has exceptional value.

Si Mingqi was determined not to fall behind.

But just as he was about to raise his paddle, another paddle suddenly rose in a separate box.

A green paddle.

As soon as this paddle was spotted, the auctioneer’s voice surged with excitement, shouting, ”The esteemed guest in Box No. Seven has directly increased the bid by five hundred Spirit Crystals. Is there any further bidding?”

The venue instantly fell silent.

If anyone thought one hundred and twenty Spirit Crystals were a bit extravagant, then the direct increase by five hundred stunned many.

Including Si Mingqi, who was completely baffled.

Who is making the bid now?

Inside the box, initially calm and awaiting successful bids, Mo Changhong sat up straight, eyes peering through the glass window towards Box No. Seven.

”A direct increase by five hundred, obviously aiming against us! But who is this person?” Mo Changhong grumbled with displeasure.

Truthfully, the price of six hundred and twenty Spirit Crystals far exceeded her expectations.

She believed that such a piece of scrap metal was only worth at most one Spirit Crystal.

Moreover, even as the Shopkeeper of the Medicinal Workshop, pulling together several hundred Spirit Crystals at once was quite difficult.

Hence she hesitated.

But at that moment, Xue An, sitting beside her, suddenly raised a paddle.

A light purple paddle.

The auctioneer’s voice trembled slightly.

”This esteemed guest in the box has raised the bid again, and this time directly increased by one thousand Spirit Crystals. The total is now one thousand six hundred and twenty Spirit Crystals. Is there any further bidding?”

The room erupted in a tidal roar of astonishment.

”Heavens, what is happening today? A piece of scrap metal has sold at such a high price?” someone exclaimed in disbelief.

”More than that, I am curious about who are the people in these two boxes. Clearly, they aren’t ordinary folk with such grand gestures!”

And this price made Si Mingqi and many others who were eager to bid initially, all flag down.

No doubt, the price was simply too outrageous.

Outrageous enough for them to dismiss their own thoughts.

Si Mingqi chuckled bitterly, even if the item is odd, he had to abandon it.

After all, the Si Family’s financial authority wasn’t in his hands, and solely relying on his savings was impossible to afford more than a thousand Spirit Crystals. Even though the Si Family’s prestige could allow some overdraft at Tianhe Auction House, Si Mingqi understood clearly.

If he really dared to spend a fortune to buy this piece of ”scrap metal.”

Then when he returns home, the Family Head and Elders Council would definitely demand a perfect explanation from him.

If the item had no real use, he’d be left holding the baby.

Additionally, the bidding didn’t seem to be over yet, and he couldn’t predict the final price it might reach.

Indeed.

A cold snort was heard from Box No. Seven, and someone raised another paddle.

The same light purple paddle.

The room fell dead silent, startling even the auctioneer.

He had thought that selling the item for over a thousand Spirit Crystals was astronomical.

Yet he hadn’t expected the person in Box No. Seven seemed determined to win the item, directly adding another thousand Spirit Crystals.

The current price has now reached two thousand six hundred and twenty Spirit Crystals.

This price could purchase a complete set of Alchemy Armor.

Even the auctioneer couldn’t help but lower his voice.

”Current bid is two thousand six hundred and twenty Spirit Crystals. Any further bidding?”

To him, the auction was certainly over.

Indeed.

The box that began the bidding fell silent.

The auctioneer secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, it was over.

Who would have guessed such an explosive item would appear at this seemingly ordinary auction?

Yet this item alone is enough to provide him a hefty commission.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the auctioneer’s face.

But just as his smile barely surfaced, a dark green paddle suddenly rose from the box that started the bidding.

Upon seeing this paddle, the auctioneer’s gavel dropped with a thud.

Because this paddle represents the highest bid level at this auction house.

Its appearance meant a ten thousand Spirit Crystal increment!

At this point, all eyes were drawn to the deep green paddle.

Sudden shocks arose, alongside incomprehension and contemplative silence.

Inside the box, Mo Changhong was also startled upon seeing the paddle in Xue An’s hand.

”What are you doing? Weren’t you just about to give up?”

Initially, Mo Changhong thought Xue An was planning to withdraw when he showed no reaction. Little did she expect him to raise a bid again, and such an insane increment.

Xue An smiled, ”Sorry, I was delayed because I couldn’t find this paddle just now!”

Mo Changhong: ”....”

”The... current bid is from Box No. Two, bidding... bidding twelve thousand six hundred and twenty Spirit Crystals. Any further increase?” the auctioneer called weakly.

This price, let alone on this planet, is considered exceedingly high across the entire Tianhe Auction House.

The crucial point is that the purchase is of an item, a piece of ”scrap metal,” whose significance none can fathom, making it even more perplexing.

Many eyes turned towards Box No. Seven, as it had been competing with Box No. Two.

Si Mingqi was no exception, analyzing the whole scenario.

Who among the two boxes is Mo Changhong?

Meanwhile, inside Box No. Seven, a young man crushed the wine cup in his hand fiercely.

”Damn, dares to bid against me like this, find out who the person in that box is!”
