The VIPs in the dozens of private rooms sat up straight, their eyes fixed intently on the screen.

Everyone knew in their hearts that the last item in the auction would definitely be extraordinary.

A woman carried the last item to the stage, still covered with a red cloth.

Behind her were two masked men, each carrying a long object wrapped in cloth on their backs.

The two have one thing in common.

His eyes were cold!

Even through a screen, the sight of the two people looking into each other's eyes sent chills down many people's spines.

Inside VIP Box Number One.

Lin Shu stared at the screen with great interest, about to speak, when the door to the private room opened and Liu Yun, who had been away for some time, walked in, smiling and saying, "Sister Lin, I'm back."

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Sit down."

After Liu Yun sat down, she took the initiative to say, "The auction is about to end. After it's over, let's go out for a late-night snack together."

"Want some late-night snacks?"

Lin Shu's smile held a strange undertone. "We'll see."

Liu Yun was taken aback, keenly sensing that something was amiss with Lin Shu's words.

Lin Shu took out her phone from her pocket and dialed Duan Ya's number. "The auction is about to end. It's time to come back."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Liu Yun didn't think much of Lin Shu's phone call. She looked at Lin Mo and An Youyu, and finally smiled at An Youyu.

"Young Fish, are you older or younger than Lin Mo?"

"A few months younger."

After answering, An Youyu added, "However, I'm already an adult."

She's not a child!

The girl's little thoughts naturally did not escape Lin Mo's sharp eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Liu Yun continued, "Did you two go to university?"

"I just finished the college entrance exam this year."

"Oh?"

Liu Yun became interested, "Which schools did you apply to?"

“National Tsing Hua University.”

Hearing An Youyu's answer, Liu Jun was very surprised, "Tsinghua University? Tsinghua University's admission score is... insane. Besides Tsinghua University, what other schools did you apply to?"

An Youyu blinked. "That's all."

"what?"

Liu Yun was taken aback. "The application form...can't we fill in four schools?"

"Correct."

"What about the other three schools?"

Chapter 275 Borrow some money!

The other three schools?

Under the lights in the private room, An Youyu's eyes were like two clear pools. "Sister Yun, I filled in Tsinghua University for all four schools on the application form, and Lin Mo did the same."

Liu Yun: "..."

Did you fill in Tsinghua University as one of the four schools?

Is it okay to fill out university application forms like this?

Lin Mo also noticed the doubt in Liu Yun's expression and laughed as he echoed, "Sister Yun, what Xiaoyuer just said is true. Our application forms only list Tsinghua University as our school, and this was agreed upon by my mother and the school teachers."

Upon hearing this explanation, Liu Yun couldn't help but look at Lin Shu.

Lin Shu smiled and said, "If the children are confident, it's only natural for me, as their mother, to support them. Isn't that a perfectly normal thing?"

"Normal? What's normal about it?"

Liu Yun secretly slandered him.

No matter how you look at it, this behavior seems rather unreliable.

However, considering Lin Shu's personality, it's not so hard to accept. There's nothing this Miss Lin wouldn't dare to do.

Just then, a sound came from the screen.

"I'm sure everyone is very curious about the last item up for auction, so let me unveil it for you."

The young auctioneer lifted the red cloth, revealing a bright red fruit on a wooden stand, its vibrant color almost like a special effect. "This fruit was unexpectedly obtained by Qing Yaoxu in the misty mountains of Fire Continent. Its specific effects are currently unknown."

"After being examined by our Qingyao Xu professionals, we discovered that this fruit contains a special energy that is beneficial to the human body. It can help martial artists improve their combat power and even achieve advancement. Therefore, we named it the Advancement Fruit."

"Having heard this, I believe everyone understands the preciousness of the Advancement Fruit. Alright, without further ado, the starting bid for the Advancement Fruit is one billion, with each bid increasing by no less than one billion. Now, I hereby announce that the bidding for the final item of this auction has officially begun!"

Inside VIP Box Number One.

Hearing the introduction coming from the screen, Lin Mo and his mother exchanged a glance, their faces showing amusement.

An advanced fruit?

Ah--

Qingyao's trick of deceiving everyone was quite clever, but... it wasn't very clever...

Lin Shu tossed her hair and asked Liu Yun with a smile, "Xiao Yun, I've never heard of this 'Advanced Fruit' before, but since it can enhance a martial artist's combat power, it must be a rare and precious treasure. What do you think about me bidding for this Advanced Fruit?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yun's expression changed slightly. "Sister Lin, the Advancement Fruit is indeed a rare and precious treasure, but it is too expensive, and no one can be sure whether there will be any unpredictable side effects after taking it."

"Of course, if Sister Lin really wants to bid, there's no harm in giving it a try. But if the final price is too high, you don't need to push it too hard. After all, rare and precious materials are scarce, but you can still buy some if you have the money. What do you think?"

As she spoke, Liu Yun had already adjusted her mindset, and her expression returned to normal.

Life is like a play!

This was An Youyu's only thought at that moment.

After listening to the conversation between Lin Shu and Lin Mo, she knew very well that both Lin Shu and Liu Yun were putting on a good show.

In front of such an expert, all a novice like her could do was stay quietly.

"I am air, I am air..."

Lin Mo heard the girl's soft mutterings, and the smile in his eyes gradually deepened.

He coughed lightly and looked at Liu Yun with a very sincere gaze.

“Sister Yun, I’ve only recently started learning martial arts and my progress is very slow. Since this advancement fruit can enhance a martial artist’s combat power, it must be even more useful for a newbie like me who has just started learning martial arts.”

As he spoke, he looked at his mother again, "Mom, haven't you always been bragging about how rich you are? Now it's your turn to show off. Come on, let your son experience your wealth."

In terms of acting skills, he, who has lived two lives, is in no way inferior to Lin Shu and Liu Yun.

"Mom has plenty of money."

A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Shu's eyes at her son's help.

Despite the unexpected turn of events, she will definitely take this role!

Liu Yun was dumbfounded. "Um... Sister Lin, the starting price for this advancement fruit has already reached one billion. The final price will probably be terrifying. Of course, you can try, but you must not get carried away."

"rest assured."

Lin Shu's face was full of indifference. "Xiao Jun, when have you ever seen me get aroused?"

"Many times..."

"..."

Lin Shu rolled her eyes at Liu Yun and took out the bidding device on the table to play with it.

After the auction for the advancement fruit began, the atmosphere became inexplicably cold. Even though the advancement fruit could enhance a martial artist's combat power, the starting price of one billion made many people hesitant.

Behind the auctioneer was a huge screen displaying fifty numerical codes, each corresponding to one of the fifty private rooms in the Qingyao Xu brochure.

There is a three-minute timer at the top. If no one bids within three minutes, the item will be considered unsold.

If someone makes a bid, the three-minute countdown will restart.

In the blink of an eye, half of the three-minute countdown had passed.

In the past, when this situation occurred, the auctioneer would try to highlight the advantages of the item to prevent it from going unsold. However, this time, the auctioneer made no such comment.

Two minutes into the countdown, the auctioneer chuckled and said, "It seems that no one is really interested in this advancement fruit. Well, when I first saw the starting bid for this advancement fruit, even I thought it was a bit too high."

This statement conveys another layer of meaning.

Don't take pictures, it's not worth it!

"Inflated?"

Lin Shu raised the bidding device in his hand and said to Liu Yun in a joking tone, "Xiao Yun, I just like expensive things."

Liu Yun's lips twitched. "Sister Lin, you can't say that. When buying things, you should always consider whether they are worth the price."

"Was it worth the price?"

Lin Shu laughed, “That’s not right, at least not to me. Expensive things only have one drawback, which is that they are expensive, and cheap things only have one advantage, which is that they are cheap.”

"The more expensive this advancement fruit is, the more I like it."

Liu Yun's expression was stiff.

What the hell!

This understanding is quite similar to Lin Shu's!

Seeing that Liu Yun remained silent, Lin Shu pointed at her son and said, "Xiao Yun, you may not know, but I raised this child in poverty from childhood to adulthood. I only recently confronted him about it."

"B-and then?"
