Douluo Dragon King: My strategy system is not right

Chapter 52 Help to take it
Wu Zhangkong was also a little dazed, but when he met the boy's decisive eyes, he still took the card.

The capital verification was a quick matter. It was handed over to the nearby waiters, who quickly took it to the backstage, quickly counted the assets inside, and then sent it back immediately.

"Hello sir, your assets are qualified and you are eligible to participate in the next auction. Please pay attention to the auction time, it will start immediately."

After the waiter returned the card, he slowly stepped back to a nearby location.

Lin Ci took back the card and carefully examined the item on the stage called "Absolute Ice Crystal". Ordinary things really couldn't attract his attention.

It's just that the aura this thing produces is very attractive. I can't say attractive, but it should be said that it is familiar.

Tang Wulin whispered, "Brother Ci, that thing doesn't seem to be of much use to you. And it's too expensive. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

Lin Ci just shook his head, his eyes still fixed on the ice crystals on the field.

Wu Zhangkong didn't ask why, but simply asked, "How much money have you prepared?"

Lin Ci said seriously: "Fifty million federal coins."

"Fifty...fifty million!" Tang Wulin was shocked, as if he thought there was something wrong with his ears.

He could hear these words clearly, but when they were put together, he seemed to not recognize them.

Wu Zhangkong frowned slightly: "Maybe not enough."

As an ice-attributed spirit master, he had heard of this ice crystal during his time in Shrek City. However, each one had been auctioned in Mingdu for tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. Tiandou City had never auctioned this item before, and since it was the first time, the price was bound to be very high.

"Let's wait and see." Lin Ci was not sure in his heart. When he agreed to be Leng Yaozhu's disciple, the other party gave him 50 million federal coins.

He didn't have any more money on him at the moment, but he was determined to get this thing.

Soon, the auction of this ice crystal officially began.

"Absolute Ice Crystal, starting price is 15 million federal coins, and each bid must not be less than 5 million federal coins."

The female auctioneer made the final decision, and the content of Absolute Ice Crystal began to appear on the large screen behind her, with the initial price below it.

"Twenty million!" A noble lady in a gorgeous fur coat was the first to bid. Beside her stood a young ice-attribute soul master, his eyes full of desire for the Absolute Ice Crystal. This must be a younger generation in the family who had an ice-attribute martial soul.

Although she was the first to speak, the voices in the VIP room on the second floor soon raised the price.

"Twenty-five million!"

"thirty million!"

"Thirty-five million!"

The amount continued to climb to 35 million, and the voices in the field became weaker at this time. For some people in the field, 35 million was considered a considerable number.

Lin Ci no longer hesitated and said directly: "Fifty million!"

Lin Ci's shout of "Fifty million" instantly shattered the brief silence. Everyone's eyes were fixed on him. This sudden increase in the price to fifteen million was hard not to spark curiosity.

The noble lady in the gorgeous fur coat frowned, with a hint of unwillingness in her eyes, while the young ice-attribute soul master beside her had a look of loss on his face.

Obviously, with their ability, they cannot afford 50 million to buy this absolute ice crystal. It would be a waste of money.

"This gentleman bids 50 million federal coins! Is there a higher bid? This is an extremely rare Absolute Ice Crystal, which has immeasurable benefits for ice-attribute soul masters. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to encounter it again!"

Apparently, the auction house is still not very satisfied with the current price and believes that the price can be raised even higher.

Lin Ci stared intently. It was obvious that if anyone raised the price, he would have no chance of winning. After all, he only had 50 million, a total all-in. The auction hall was silent for a moment. Just as the auctioneer was about to call out her first bid, a slightly hoarse voice rang out from the VIP room in the far corner of the second floor: "Fifty-five million."

Lin Ci slowly withdrew his gaze, now there was nothing he could do.

Tang Wulin looked at Lin Ci with some concern and whispered, "Brother Ci, this..."

Wu Zhangkong also shook his head slightly, signaling Lin Ci to consider carefully. Even if he could come up with another ten million, the price of this ice crystal wouldn't remain at this level; it would definitely go up.

"It's okay. If I can't get it, then I can't get it." Although he was a little unwilling in his heart, Lin Ci still calmed his mind and suppressed the irritability in his heart.

He took the ice crystal. Just as Tang Wulin said, it really didn't help with cultivation, but he just wanted to confirm something. After all, that familiar feeling wouldn't come out of nowhere; it definitely had a reason.

Although Lin Ci stopped bidding, the competition for the ice crystal continued. The auctioneer's voice rang out again, "This distinguished guest has bid fifty-five million. Is there a higher bid? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will allow an ice-attributed spirit master to achieve a complete improvement in their cultivation talent!"
Lin Ci couldn't take it, but his eyes were still fixed on the stage, as if he wanted to engrave every detail of it in his mind. He could only see it as much as possible in this way to see if he could feel anything.

Just as the auctioneer was about to shout "First Time", suddenly, a crisp voice came from another VIP room: "Sixty million!"

This voice was the first to be heard in the bidding for this ice crystal. No one had participated in the bidding before.

The owner of the hoarse voice didn't seem to expect that someone would suddenly show up. After a moment's silence, he raised the price again: "Sixty-five million."

The owner of the crisp voice responded without hesitation: "Seventy million!"

The rest of the process was almost the same. Every time the hoarse voice hesitated to raise the price, it would be immediately suppressed by the latter's decisive price increase.

The former didn't stop talking until 80 million federal coins were paid. Meanwhile, the Absolute Ice Crystal was successfully captured by the person who came from behind.

Nothing else could arouse Lin Ci's interest. Soon, the auction ended and the three of them left the Tiandou Hotel.

Tang Wulin sighed with emotion, "Brother Ci, I didn't expect that neither of us could get what we wanted. What a pity."

He failed to get the dragon scale fruit, while Lin Ci failed to get the ice crystal. They were both really unlucky.

Lin Ci was just about to say something when suddenly, a fat figure came in front of Wu Zhangkong. He said something, but before leaving, he placed a jade box in the other person's hand.

Before Tang Wulin could ask, Wu Zhangkong put the jade box in his hand.

Inside was the dragon scale fruit that Tang Wulin had been looking forward to.

It turned out that the person just now was from the Tang Sect, and he had obtained the Dragon Scale Fruit for Tang Wulin. Of course, the credit was now on Wu Zhangkong.

Later, Tang Wulin will return to Wu Changkong.

Tang Wulin looked at Lin Ci a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, Brother Ci, I got pregnant accidentally."

Lin Ci: “…”

What a careless mistake...

But Lin Ci had no choice. He wasn't from the Tang Sect. They had no obligation to help him. Furthermore, the two items were priced completely differently. There was no comparison.

Just as they were about to leave, three more people came towards them from a distance. The leader was a woman.

The woman saw Lin Ci, walked straight up to him, and said with a smile: "You must be Lin Ci, right? This is for you."

Just as she finished speaking, the two people behind her lifted the red cloth they were carrying, revealing a crystal clear crystal.

It is absolute ice crystal!
