Desert Island Infrastructure: Claiming the System Brings Many Blessings

Qin Chuan raised his hand.

"150,000."

Same old trick, just jump the price up directly.

Someone in the hall laughed. Everyone understood the style of this human male's actions today; it could be summed up in two words: brutal.

"150,000 per time..."

"Two hundred thousand!"

A voice came from the direction of the Medusa tribe.

Qin Chuan looked in the direction of the voice. The one bidding was not the Naga deputy chieftain, but another Medusa woman. She wore a deep purple robe, had a cold and beautiful face, and sat upright.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand." Qin Chuan didn't hesitate.

The Medusa woman glanced at him: "Three hundred thousand."

Qin Chuan muttered to himself, "Why do these snake people always have to compete with me for everything?"

"Three hundred and fifty thousand."

The entire room fell silent for a moment.

Buying a bottle of Moon Dew for 350,000 yuan is beyond the normal range.

The Medusa woman hesitated. She turned to look at the Naga, who gently shook her head.

No one raised the price anymore.

"350,000 once... 350,000 twice... 350,000 three times! Sold!"

Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Three hundred and fifty thousand. Expensive. But worth it.

The host clapped his hands loudly on stage: "Ladies and gentlemen! All eight rounds of auction are now over! Let me give a summary!"

She took out a piece of paper and began to read it aloud.

"First round, Submerged Snowflake Beef King Meat, 200,000, Seller: Mr. Qin Chuan of the Human Race."

"Second round, Flying Tuna King, 420,000, sold to: Naga Deputy Chief of Medusa Clan."

"Third round, a ten-thousand-year-old dry firewood, 250,000, sold to: Mr. Qin Chuan of the Human Race."

"Fourth round, King-quality Civet Musk, 380,000, sold to: Deputy Chief of the Medusa Clan's Naga."

"Fifth round, top-quality mare's milk wine, 250,000, sold to: Mr. Qin Chuan of the human race."

"Sixth round, 100-year-old Crystal Spirit Valley, 50,000, successful bidder: Mr. Qin Chuan of the Human Race."

"Seventh round, Overlord's Pearl with Tears, 150,000, Seller: Mr. Qin Chuan of the Human Race."

"Eighth round, Overlord-stage Moon Dew, 350,000, Seller: Mr. Qin Chuan of the Human Race."

After the host finished reading, he looked up, his expression somewhat incredulous.

"Eight rounds of auction, Mr. Qin Chuan of the Human Race won six rounds! Total spending: 1.25 million food coins!"

All eyes in the room once again turned to Qin Chuan.

This time, it wasn't just curiosity, but also shock.

A human, at a food expo where all four races gathered, snapped up six top-quality ingredients in one go.

Such a level of spending is something that even the noble classes of various ethnic groups cannot match, let alone ordinary merchants.

On the Medusa tribe's side, the Naga deputy chieftain's gaze lingered on Qin Chuan for a long time. Her dark golden vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and her lips were tightly pursed, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Several Medusa tribesmen nearby whispered a few words in her ear, but Naga did not respond. She only glanced at Qin Chuan one last time before looking away.

Qin Chuan felt the weight of that gaze, and a chill ran down the back of his neck for a moment.

But he didn't care.

"Let's go shopping in the lobby." Qin Chuan stood up and dusted off his pants.

Lu Yao quickly followed: "Master Qin Chuan, the main hall is over at the dock. I'll take you there."

Diana also stood up and followed behind.

The three of them came out of the audience seats and walked through the crowd toward the hall.

Along the way, many people looked at Qin Chuan. Some were curious, some were envious, and some were scrutinizing.

A young man from the Civet tribe shouted to his companion by the roadside, "That human bought up all the good stuff today! So extravagant!"

A centaur veteran took a sip of his drink and said, "Money talks."

Qin Chuan ignored him and kept walking.

The expo's main hall was located in a stone building next to the dock. The hall was spacious and contained dozens of stalls, each piled high with various ingredients.

Qin Chuan started shopping as soon as he entered the door.

First stop: Diving Snowflake Beef.

One serving of the standard meal costs 10,000 food coins and weighs 10 kilograms.

Qin Chuan walked to the front of the stall and glanced at the remaining quantity on the shelf. There were probably more than seventy servings left, and someone had already come to buy them.

"I'll take them all," Qin Chuan said.

The Medusa businesswoman behind the stall paused for a moment: "Sir, here, each person is limited to a maximum of twenty items."

"Alright, then twenty servings will do!"

Qin Chuan took out the receipts from his spatial ring, counted out 200,000 yuan, and placed them on the counter.

The businesswoman hurriedly counted the receipts, then carried the twenty portions of Wagyu beef off the shelf one by one.

Qin Chuan directly used his spatial ring to collect them, and they disappeared one by one before his eyes.

The onlookers were stunned.

Is this person a wholesaler?

The second stop: Flying Tuna.

The standard meal costs 30,000 meal coins.

Qin Chuan glanced at the shelf; there were still more than thirty portions left.

I did a quick calculation of my savings and made a mental decision.

"Give me twenty portions. Six hundred thousand."

Another pile of receipts was slapped onto the counter.

The stall owner was so happy he couldn't stop smiling.

The third stop: a piece of dry firewood.

One serving of the standard meal costs 10,000 meal coins.

Qin Chuan did not hesitate this time.

How many?

"Fifty portions left."

"all."

Five hundred thousand was spent.

The spatial ring has started accumulating goods like crazy again.

The fourth stop: civet musk.

The standard version costs 10,000 food coins.

Qin Chuan bought ten portions. One hundred thousand.

He wasn't sure exactly how to use civet musk, so he bought some to test the waters first.

The fifth stop: Prey Quality Mare's Milk Wine.

The standard version costs 5,000 meal coins.

How many?

"Eighty jars."

Qin Chuan pulled out 50,000 yuan: "Ten jars, please."

The main problem is the poor quality; it didn't have much effect on me, so I bought it for the girls to try.

The sixth stop: Crystal Valley, ten years ago.

Two thousand food coins per pound.

Qin Chuan bought 100 jin (50 kg). 200,000 yuan.

The seventh and eighth stops are the regular versions of Pearl Tears and Moon Dew, respectively.

The regular version of "Pearl with Tears" costs 10,000 each, and Qin Chuan bought ten, totaling 100,000.

Moon Dew (regular version) costs 10,000 yuan per bottle.

Qin Chuan walked to the stall and glanced at the neatly arranged white porcelain bottles on the shelf.

How many?

"Thirty bottles," said the mermaid businesswoman behind the stall.

"I'll take them all. Three hundred thousand."

The businesswoman's eyes widened: "Sir, you're buying thirty bottles of Moon Dew all by yourself?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No...no."

Three hundred thousand was slapped on the counter. All thirty bottles of Moon Dew were stored in the spatial ring.

Lu Yao stood behind, watching Qin Chuan's back, her mouth slightly open.

She's really seen something new today.

How much did Qin Chuan spend in total from the start of the auction to the end of his shopping spree in the hall?

Auction item: 1.25 million.

Shopping spree in the lobby: 2.55 million.

Including the auction items, the total expenditure was 3.8 million food coins.

He had less than seven million left in his pocket.

Qin Chuan originally planned to use the money he earned to buy Star Stones and build a legendary castle.

But it seems that we should put the Star Stone aside for now.

These ingredients are the most important right now.

Consuming these items will increase your energy level several times over. Once you're stronger, you'll be able to earn money much faster, and then you can buy Star Stones later.

"Let's go." Qin Chuan turned to Diana and Lu Yao. "That's a wrap."
