Douluo Continent: Transmigrated into Tang San's Younger Sister and Became a God with Two Martia

Chapter 42 Winning the Mysterious Gift

"Although soul bones are precious and difficult to measure in monetary terms, they still need to be measured when necessary. You should know that 15,000 gold soul coins is not a small amount; an ordinary person might not earn that much in a lifetime," Shi Ye explained to Tang Nian in a low voice.

Tang Nian nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

In the end, this soul bone was auctioned off for 20 million gold soul coins.

The hostess quickly brought out the second item for auction. Judging from the shape of the cover, the item was not large, and the cover was almost glued to the cart.

"This is the second soul bone, the Flaming Horn Skull."

As he spoke, Fu Bai lifted the covering and took the item from the cart onto the auction stage.

It was a skull glowing red, attracting the attention of most people. Everyone present knew how precious the skull was.

Auctioneer Fu Bai smiled and said, "This is the head bone of a five-thousand-year-old soul beast. It can give the user a flame-like horn that can withstand high-temperature flame attacks. This horn also has a special ability: it can release the power of flames to form a fireball. This soul bone is especially suitable for fire-type soul masters."

"Starting bid: 10,000 Gold Soul Coins. Each bid must be at least 100 Gold Soul Coins higher. Let's begin."

"15,000 gold soul coins."

The price quickly soared to 30,000 gold soul coins.

Tang Nian recalled what Shi Ye had said earlier: an ordinary person could never earn this much money in a lifetime.

She asked with some curiosity, "Why haven't I seen you buying soul bones, Shi Ye?"

Shi Ye lowered his voice and whispered, "These soul bones are just small fry. Okay, they're all coming up later."

Tang Nian quickly connected the dots to the mysterious gift that Fu Bai had mentioned, and realized that Shi Ye must have come for it.

"Did you bring enough money?" Tang Nian asked with a pained expression after a pause. "You saved my brother and me, after all. If you don't have enough money later, I'll lend it to you. But let me tell you first, I don't have much saved up either."

Tang Nian secretly gambled away all this money at the Soto City Great Soul Arena without Flander's knowledge. She didn't have the ability to see through things, and since she was responsible for both wins and losses, she didn't save much.

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Xiao Tang Nian."

As she listened, Tang Nian felt sleepy. She closed her eyes, leaned back on the stool, her eyebrows relaxed, her breathing light, and slept soundly.

Shi Ye stared at her, and the corners of his lips gradually curved into a small smile.

He reached out to a hostess, asked for a blanket, and gently laid it on Tang Nian. The latter smacked her lips, completely unaware.

Shi Ye turned his head and continued to look intently.

……

"One million gold soul coins."

A cold, clear voice came from the night, and Tang Nian woke up abruptly.

"One million two hundred thousand gold soul coins." A powerful voice rang out.

Tang Nianchao looked at the auction stage, which was covered with a red cloth, and could see that there was a square box inside.

"What's in there?" Tang Nian asked curiously.

"That mysterious gift."

In the brief moment between their conversation, the auction price had already reached two million gold soul coins.

Just as Shi Ye was about to raise his sign, Tang Nian stopped him, saying, "That's two million gold soul coins, no small sum. I don't have that much money to give you."

Shi Ye smiled and patted Tang Nian's hand to reassure her, then raised his bidding paddle, "Three million gold soul coins."

The deep voice was clearly also interested in this mysterious gift, and continued, "Three and a half million gold soul coins."

Shi Ye raised his hand, "Five million gold soul coins."

The deep voice hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "Six million gold soul coins."

Shi Ye narrowed his eyes, a determined glint in them, because he knew that the man wouldn't be able to bid much longer.

Shi Ye raised the sign, spoke, and all the movements were done in one smooth motion: "Ten million gold soul coins."

The auction room fell silent instantly.

The auctioneer did not reveal what was on the auction stage, only saying that it was a mysterious gift, and very few people knew the inside story.

Most people couldn't understand why the two were fighting over the mysterious gift, since no one knew what was inside.

Those who attend this auction are all either wealthy or influential, or have some kind of family background. But even the richest people don't act like this. There have been instances where the final mysterious gift at an auction is not as good as the first item.

Not many people are willing to take this gamble with the auction house.

Auctioneers earn income by taking a commission from the items auctioned. For example, if an item costs one hundred to produce and sells for two hundred, the auction house will take ten percent of the total amount as a commission, while the auctioneer will take one-thousandth of the one hundred that exceeds the cost.

Ten million gold soul coins are not common, and can earn extremely high commissions.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

After several inquiries went unanswered, Fu Bai began the final three rounds of bidding.

"Ten million gold soul coins per time."

"Ten million gold soul coins twice."

"Ten million gold soul coins three times."

The hammer fell, signifying the success of the auction. "The mystery gift belongs to VIP number one. Thank you for your generosity."

With the successful auction of the last mysterious gift, today's auction has come to an end.

Afterwards, the hostess led the two to a more luxurious room in the back.

On the platform in the very center lay a golden torso bone, its entire body gleaming with golden light, dazzlingly bright.

Auctioneer Fu Bai slowly walked in, a smile on his face. He looked at the two of them respectfully and said, "This is the mysterious gift you two have won, which comes from the torso bones of a 90,000-year-old golden dragon."

"It can release dragon breath, suppressing the aura of other soul beasts and soul masters of the same type. Furthermore, this soul bone can grant the ability to fly, consuming only physical strength and not soul power."

"If the soul bone evolves, it will have the ability to regenerate severed limbs and be reborn from the ashes. Moreover, it is only the torso bone of a 90,000-year-old soul beast. It is said that when it was only one step away from the 100,000-year mark, it was taken by several titled Douluo-level experts. It can be said that this torso bone is extremely rare. You two have bought a treasure."

Tang Nian was also surprised when she heard about the effects of the soul bone. She tugged at Shi Ye's sleeve and said, "You really hit the jackpot."

Fu Bai smiled at the two of them and said, "Then I won't disturb you any longer." She paused and pointed to the door on the other side of the room.

"There are five paths leading out of this door. You can choose any one. Our auction house will not expose your whereabouts. Of course, if you want to absorb soul bones here, we can give you six months. After you finish absorbing them here, someone will come to clean this room after six months." After saying that, Fu Bai withdrew.

Tang Nian watched her leave and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect this auction house to be so humane."

Shi Ye's lips curled up almost imperceptibly. "Do you like this torso bone?"

It's been a while since I asked for votes!
