Chapter 30: Three Thousand Years Ago
Chapter 30: Three Thousand Years Ago
Charlie's harmless appearance made Stanley unable to refute. He was so angry that he flushed. After
a while, he said,
"In the beginning, you clearly said that you want to get the hairpin. Why did you suddenly not want it?
What the hell are you shouting if you can't afford it?"
"The hairpin is not worth two million."
Charlie said lightly. Stanley almost burned up.
Everyone knew that the hairpin was not worth two million.
A shit hairpin, the starting price of five hundred thousand was already too much. Now, it had reached
two million. It was Stanley himself who increased the price.
"We are friends. Don't hurt our friendship. Bro, I take a step back and let you get the hairpin. I think
Miss Phoebe must be very happy, right?"
Charlie said with a smile.
Phoebe panicked.
She had just been with Stanley. They didn’t have sex yet. But Stanley spent more than two million
dollars on her now. Wouldn't Stanley torture her to death at night?
"...Two million, three times. Congratulations to young master at No. 108, for winning another auction
item."
The hammer knocked down.
Stanley's face was pale and his fat body was trembling constantly.
He wanted to get back at Charlie, but in the end he was the one who lost the most. He wasted two
million in vain.
Stanley glared at Phoebe fiercely. Phoebe shrank her neck, not daring to breathe.
Isabella patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked quietly, "You did it on purpose!"
"Of course, he wants to set me up? No way."
"But what if Stanley stop raising price? If we can't afford to pay, we're screwed up. It is said that Scarlet
Auction House has an extraordinary background. Malicious raising price will be severely punished."
Isabella still had some lingering fears.
"It's all right."
Charlie looked at the high platform.
After this small episode, the atmosphere in the hall had obviously risen a lot.
As Kaleb said before, after the jade hairpin, the next stuff were expensive and rare. For example, a set
of paper seal was being auctioned.
Ten luck seal, ten safety seal, and ten wish seal.
The richer people were, the more they believed in these things.
This set of paper seal was taken by a big local tyrant for three million dollars. A single piece of paper
seal was worth 100,000 dollars.
Gee, so rich.
"Hey, is the local tyrant stupid? Three million to buy some shit paper." Isabella couldn't figure it out.
Charlie shook his head slightly and said, "That paper seal does have some effect. It's not the waste
paper as you said."
"Huh? Can it really help you ward off evil spirits and keep you safe? Stop kidding. You just read too
many novels. How can there be any monsters and ghosts?" Isabella looked contemptuous.
Charlie did not explain.
He could also draw paper seal. What he drew was better than the auctioned set, and the effect was
better.
Ordinary warrior did not know these methods. Those who could draw paper seal were called warlock.
This was another story.
"Everyone, be quiet."
At this time, the old man on the high platform said, "The auction is coming to an end. Next is the
second auction item to the last. The seller entrusted us that this auction item is not measured by
money. The seller requires that the buyer has to use the same valued stuff to exchange it!"
Wow!
There was a lot of discussion in the hall. The rule was rare.
"Open it up and take a look. What treasure it is?"
"Yes, quickly!"
The old man laughed and said, "Well, everyone, please look carefully."
The round stuff on the exhibition table was wrapped in gray cloth. As the cloth was opened, it gradually
revealed its true face.
It was a stone plate. It looked like a hexagonal stone plate, but now it was missing a corner, just having
five corners. The stone plate had some used marks and some grooves
The only characteristic was that it was full of vicissitudes and had a feeling of simplicity.
"This is……"
Suddenly, Charlie was shocked. He couldn't calm down. His face was full of incredible.
He was too familiar with this stone plate.
Three thousand years ago, Xia Yu's control of the water was not smooth. Seeing that Xia Yu was so
concerned about common people, he spent a lot of energy to depict a hexagonal stone plate and
handed it to him.
For what?
To suppress water monsters.
Because of suppressing the source monster, Xia Yu later dug a canal to remove the flood. Otherwise, if
the water monster caused trouble, even if digging thousands of canals, it would not solve the problem.
"Three thousand years, I didn't expect to see it again."
Charlie sighed, he shouted, "I want to exchange."
The sudden voice frightened Isabella. She glanced back, "What are you talking about?"
Charlie ignored her, stood up and shouted again, "Host, please communicate with the seller. I can give
him what he wants, which will definitely satisfy him."
The old man saw that no one was interested in the stone plate. Now there was one who was willing to
exchange it, he would naturally not refuse.
"Wait a minute. I'll send someone to ask the seller."
"Okay."
A servant left in a hurry, and soon came back. He talked to the old man.
The old man replied, "This young man, the seller has agreed. When the auction is over, please meet
him in the backyard alone. I can't give you the stone plate now."
"Okay."
Charlie sat down, extremely happy.
Isabella began to pinch him again, yelling at him fiercely, "What are you doing? That stone plate is the
second to last. Although I don't know what it is, it must be precious. Maybe it is some cultural relics.
What do you have to exchange? Your life?"
"Don't worry. I have my own ways. Look, the last is coming!"
Isabella was successfully distracted.
The last auction item appeared directly. It was a thousand year fungus.
"Everyone has also seen that this is a thousand year fungus. You should know how precious it is.”
The old man swept around and said loudly, "There is no reserve price. There is no limit to increase the
price, and each increase should not be less than 100,000."
Boom!
Suddenly, the atmosphere of the venue reached its climax.
Charlie thought. thousand year fungus was a good thing. Since it could grow for a thousand years, it
would undoubtedly contain pure Reiki, which was of great use to his recovery.
In Tiandi Room No. 2.
Sidney had been paying attention to Charlie. Seeing Charlie tapping his left index finger on his arm
three times, Sidney understood, and then immediately said, "Eight million!"
Damn it!
This price really scared everyone.
"The man in Tiandi Room No. 2 is worthy of being a big shot! Eight million!"
"For most people, this thing is useless. It is not an elixir. You can’t become immortal after eating it. It is
only suitable for people who are deficient in energy. It is indeed precious but also very useless!"
"It seems that this thousand year fungus is bound to be won by the big shot in Tiandi Room No. 2."
After Sidney shouted, a clear woman's voice resounded throughout the venue, "Ten million."
Another big shot in Tiandi Room No. 1! Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"Thirteen million." Sidney continued to raise the price.
"Fifteen million!" A cold voice came from Tiandi Room No. 1.
Sidney frowned and glanced at Charlie. Seeing Charlie didn't stop, he shouted again, "18 million!"
Hiss.
Everyone in the ordinary seats took a breath. Although it was a thousand year fungus, 18 million was
too much.
Isabella's heart thumped, "This is the rich man. Such a Ganoderma lucidum is worth the total assets of
the Hunt Family. It's terrible!"
Charlie smiled without saying a word.
There was a lot of discussion in the venue. It quieted down soon.
"Anyone else?"
The old man yelled, then picked up the hammer.
At this moment, the lady in Tiandi Room No. 1 finally said, "Twenty million. This stuff is useful to me.
Please give me."
Sidney frowned.
Since she could sit in Tiandi Room No. 1, her status was naturally extraordinary. She should not be
local in J City, but probably from Jinling.
His father was only the richest man in Z City, not the richest man in Jinling.
However, thinking of Charlie, Sidney was fearless, and said categorically, "Sorry girl, I also need it
urgently. 25 million. If you continue to raise the price, I’m in!"
"You!"
The woman was extremely angry, and finally said angrily, "You won."
The old man didn't even say anything. He knocked the hammer, "Congratulations to the sir in Tiandi
Room No. 2, for getting thousand year fungus."
In the venue, everyone took a breath.
Charlie was a little anxious. He got up and left, "Isabella, you go back first. I have something to deal
with."
"You can’t get rid of me!"
Isabella held Charlie tightly. The two came to the backyard.
The gray-haired old man came and said with a smile, "Sir, may I have your name?"
"Charlie."
"Mr. Charlie, come with me. The seller has been waiting for a long time."
With twists and turns, they came to an antique boudoir.
The gray-haired old man turned and said, "Sorry, only this sir can go in alone. This lady, please wait
outside."
Isabella was helpless. This was Scarlet Auction House. She didn't dare to lose her temper.
Charlie opened the door and then closed the door with backhand.
There was a scent in the room. A woman with black outfit was sitting on the table.
She looked cold. She was tall and had deep breath. Charlie was surprised that she was a warrior.
"Don't fudge. Take it out."
The woman was very decisive. She drank her tea and looked at Charlie coldly, "You said that I would
be satisfied with it. If I am dissatisfied, you will be at your own risk."
