Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Sure enough, upon seeing the price, Young Master No. 999 slammed his fist on the table, breaking it in two.

He didn't bid again; the previous offer of 11 billion was already his limit.

"12 billion once, 12 billion twice, 12 billion three times! Congratulations to VIP number 6 for winning the final item of this auction!"

Auctioneer Sasha brought down the gavel!

With this, all 100 lots in the auction have been sold.

Many people couldn't help but stretch, as they felt a bit sore from sitting for too long.

"The successful bidders are now invited to proceed backstage for the transaction. Other VIPs may relax in the lounge, where tea, snacks, and other private leisure facilities are provided!"

Sasha smiled and said, "Thank you all for your support of this auction. I'm Sasha, the auctioneer. See you next time!"

After finishing her speech, Sasha bowed to the audience and then gracefully departed.

Everyone stood up; those with auction receipts prepared to pay, while those who didn't win went to the rest area.

They did not intend to leave immediately.

Because if someone can't pay or changes their mind at the last minute, the offer will go to the previous bidder.

Stay a little longer, you might be able to snag a bargain!

Moreover, the free private leisure facilities are quite appealing; since we're already here, those with the energy should definitely try them out.

Ye Chen managed to acquire a copy of "Folk Prescriptions" this time, a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, a mutated Tian Shan snow lotus, a stone that resembled the inner core of a giant snake, and a set of shuttle needles!

Total: 20204000.

Just enough to use up a few gold bricks!

Ye Chen sighed. If everyone had been this crazy when the wild ginseng was auctioned off, he probably wouldn't have gotten a single thing.

2000 million is not even a fraction of what people are getting at auction now.

It can only be said that everyone cares about different things, and not everyone is so fascinated by century-old wild ginseng.

Maybe they have it at home, or maybe they don't eat this stuff at all?

Everything is governed by the law of cause and effect.

Young Master No. 999 stared at Ye Chen with sharp eyes for a moment, seemingly trying to remember his appearance.

However, Ye Chen was wearing a mask and had disguised himself, so it would be impressive if Ye Chen could recognize him!

Young Master No. 999 was very confident, not even wearing a mask, and stood out so brightly and calmly in the crowd!

Ye Chen calmly met his gaze. This guy had also bought quite a few good things, including a vajra and a Bagua bronze mirror...

What would it be like if the person who wanted to steal the treasure ended up having the treasure stolen from them instead?

Finally, Young Master No. 999 snorted coldly and walked ahead of Ye Chen.

Ye Chen followed the group backstage, where a lady in a cheongsam greeted him.

"Hello, esteemed guest, please have a seat here and show your credentials!" The lady in the cheongsam gave off a very friendly vibe.

Ye Chen handed over his five tickets.

The young woman in the cheongsam bowed and accepted the gift with a slight smile: "Okay, please wait a moment!"

The lady in the cheongsam scanned the five tickets one by one on the computer. After a moment, she smiled and said, "Hello, VIP No. 998, you have bid on five items: a copy of 'Folk Prescriptions,' a century-old wild ginseng, a mutated Tian Shan snow lotus, a giant snake's inner core, and a set of shuttle needles. Please verify the information!"

Ye Chen glanced at the screen, the price was correct, and nodded.

"Okay, everything is correct. The total is 20204000 yuan. How would you like to pay?" The lady in the cheongsam maintained her smile.

"I brought all the cash, but what about my belongings?" Ye Chen patted his suitcase.

"Yes, sir. The item has been sent over and will arrive shortly. Please wait a moment!"

Soon after, two waiters brought over the food, along with a backpack.

Ye Chen checked and confirmed that the items were indeed the ones he had bid on, then put them all into his backpack!

He bent down, opened the suitcase a crack, reached inside, and put the extra gold bars into his storage ring, leaving only 22!

Why 22 dollars instead of 21 dollars? Because we need to have 1 dollar left over, so there's a surplus!

Ye Chen then opened his suitcase, took out the gold bricks, counted 21 in front of the lady in the cheongsam, and held the remaining one in his hand.

"Here are 21 pieces, each weighing 1 kg. According to your stated price, that's 2100 million. That should be enough, right?" Ye Chen said calmly.

Upon suddenly seeing so many gold bricks, the young woman in the cheongsam was momentarily stunned, but she quickly recovered and nodded, "Yes, esteemed guest, please wait a moment!"

She called out to the people behind her, and immediately a male staff member jogged over; he was probably the one specifically in charge of verifying the gold bars.

He scanned each gold brick with the instrument and weighed it.

Just to be on the safe side, he cut open each gold bar to inspect it, and finally nodded and spoke:

"It's definitely 24K gold, and the weight of 21kg is also correct!"

The lady in the cheongsam performed a series of actions, then smiled at Ye Chen and pushed a piece of paper towards him:

"VIP No. 998, please keep this invoice and certificate safe! Also, please provide your name and payment method so our finance department can give you change of 796000!"

Ye Chen accepted the invoice and certificate, but did not provide his name or payment method.

"Keep the change, consider it a tip. Now can I take my things?"

With that, Ye Chen stood up, picked up his backpack, and turned to leave.

The cheongsam-clad young lady was left completely bewildered.

tip?

A tip of 79? Does anyone tip that much?

Are you kidding me? Don't lie to her!

Only after Ye Chen disappeared from her sight did she stand up, both shocked and excited, and jog inside.

Ye Chen was already making a profit from the gold price, and since he didn't want to leave his information, he didn't want the change!

Ye Chen glanced in the direction of number 999. He was still processing the formalities. After all, it was a sum of over 100 million, so it probably wouldn't be done so quickly.

Ye Chen noticed that his gaze kept drifting in a certain direction.

Following his gaze, Ye Chen saw an elderly man with white hair who was about 70 years old.

Judging from the appearance, this old man should be the number 6 who won the Spirit Milk at a sky-high price of 12 billion.

Is number 999 setting their sights on someone?

Holy crap, that's interesting. If they can't win the bidding, they'll make up for it offline?

This young master number 999 has quite the ambition; he wants everything he sets his sights on.

Ye Chen took a deep look at the back of Young Master No. 999, then turned around and "left" gracefully.

Young Master No. 999 frowned as he looked at the window where Ye Chen had just handled his business, and immediately looked around, seemingly trying to find Ye Chen.

But Ye Chen has already left, so he definitely can't find him.

"groove--"

Young Master No. 999 cursed under his breath and urged the young lady, "Are you done yet? Hurry up, you're so damn slow!"

......

Ye Chen left the auction venue openly and honestly. After going to a secluded place, he put all the items into his storage ring and then took an invisibility pill.
