Even without investigating Zhou Yan's identity, they could guess that the forces behind him were definitely not simple.
After all, who else could afford such a large sum of liquid capital and so many materials, if not an ordinary person?
Unfortunately, they would never guess that Zhou Yan was indeed an ordinary person.
Next, it was the Soul Crystals, and this time the quantity was thirty thousand, which was also the last batch of eight-star Soul Crystals.
Before the auction even began, they started to boldly guess, would this batch of materials be bought by the person in booth number six again?
When Zhou Yan saw these materials, he immediately shouted, "One hundred and thirty billion spirit coins."
"Whoosh!"
Everyone was speechless again. They had expected Zhou Yan to compete, but they didn't expect him to bid so quickly.
Some people in the audience were like they had eaten sour lemons, and were a little displeased. Did this person not intend to let anyone else bid?
"Friend, you've bought enough, can't you leave some for others?"
"Yes, the first few items were all bought by you. Are you planning to buy everything that follows?"
"Even though you are rich, you have to give us some opportunities."
"I can't stand it, one hundred and thirty-one billion." someone said angrily.
Zhou Yan directly sneered, "Isn't an auction about whoever bids higher wins? If you have the strength, you can compete with me, one hundred and forty billion!"
Zhou Yan thought those people were very amusing. An auction was about who offered the highest price, right? If anyone had the ability, they could compete with him fairly.
The premise was that their funds were more abundant than his.
But was that possible?
"Your financial strength is astonishing, I give up."
"This value exceeds our expectations, we'll let you have it."
"We can't compare, we can't afford it, I give up."
......
Everyone gave up, and these materials once again fell into Zhou Yan's hands.
In booth number one, belonging to the City Lord's mansion, seeing this situation, they asked curiously, "Who is in booth number six? Their financial strength is so astonishingly abundant."
"This much wealth is nothing, our Du family's wealth is much more than theirs!" Du Xun didn't know who was in booth number six, but when he heard the City Lord praise the other party's astonishing financial strength, he immediately compared them to his own family.
The City Lord heard this and sneered in his heart, showing great disdain for Du Xun. If he weren't from the Du family, he probably wouldn't even have one-tenth of the other party's wealth, and he still had the nerve to compare himself to the other party.
But the City Lord still said on the surface, "The Du family from overseas is also an alliance force, similar to the alliance on the Soul Continent. If the other party were a single person, then naturally they couldn't be compared to the Du family."
"However, Canglan Continent is so vast, there are many forces much larger than the Du family. You can't underestimate them."
"Uncle-in-law is right, but I still don't think they can compare to our Du family." Du Xun was always conceited like this, in his pig's brain, everyone he met and everything he encountered was inferior to his family.
After all, his life had always been like this.
"Does the City Lord need to investigate?" a nearby guard asked.
"Why ask so much? If I had to investigate the identity of every person who came in, wouldn't I be exhausted? As long as they don't cause trouble in the city." The City Lord quickly shook his head, not thinking much about it.
......
After the eight-star Soul Crystals were auctioned, the next item was not materials, but a spiritual artifact.
When this spiritual artifact was placed on the auction stage, everyone's attention was once again drawn.
"This auction is so strange, there are so many good things. It seems to be well-prepared."
"Indeed. I've been here so many times, and this is the first time I've encountered such a situation. Fortunately, I came."
"A spiritual artifact long sword, fierce competition."
Spiritual artifact-level long swords were the most widely used and sold the best. Coupled with the auctioneer's embellishments when introducing this spiritual artifact, it made even more people interested in this weapon.
The starting price for this spiritual artifact was ten billion spirit coins.
As soon as the auction began, the price steadily rose, quickly breaking through two billion, three billion, and reaching four billion.
"This sword is quite good," Diao Chan said.
"Buy it if you like it," Zhou Yan said directly, "Fifty billion!"
Everyone: "(￣┏Д┓￣°*)"
This seemed to be expected, and yet it was also unexpected.
If they couldn't see the people in the booth, they would probably have sent their greetings to Zhou Yan's family with their eyes.
"Hmph, this spiritual artifact, this young master also wants it." In booth number one, Du Xun saw his cousin-in-law's alluring demeanor and immediately understood. He said, "Fifty-five billion!"
"Sixty billion!" Zhou Yan said without hesitation. But hearing this voice, it seemed a little familiar.
"This voice seems to be that surnamed Du, but I'm not sure," Diao Chan said.
"Who cares who it is? How can they win against us?" Zhen Mi said.
Indeed, upon hearing Zhou Yan's unwavering bid of another five hundred million spirit coins, Du Xun became a little angry and shouted, "Sixty-one billion!"
"Sixty-five billion!" Zhou Yan shouted.
Du Xun: "Damn it, daring to compete with this young master, seventy billion!"
"Eighty billion!" Zhou Yan shouted directly.
Du Xun: "I'm so angry (艹皿艹)!"
After thinking about it, a mere spiritual artifact long sword had already exceeded eighty billion, which made Du Xun hesitate. Then, ignoring Du Mei's secretly pained expression, he smiled and said, "It's just a broken spiritual artifact, let him have it if he wants it."
"Hmph!" Du Mei could only sulk in her heart, not daring to let the City Lord find out. She planned to vent her dissatisfaction to Du Xun that night!
"...Eighty billion for the third time! Congratulations to our friend in booth number six for successfully bidding on another item. It's truly astonishing. I didn't expect this friend to have already consecutively bid on the fifth item in this auction. I truly look forward to other friends being able to stop him..."
The auctioneer on stage was fanning the flames. The higher the price auctioned, the higher his commission, and the greater his reputation. Naturally, he would work very hard to conduct this auction well.
The people below were not fools; they understood the auctioneer's actions, but they also had to have the financial resources.
The sixth auction item was a complete set of diamond-level defensive armor. This set had six pieces: helmet, armor, gauntlets, greaves, boots, and belt.
The starting price was two hundred million spirit coins.
The appearance of this set was quite good, and since many people could afford it, there were quite a few participants.
However, everyone in booth number six heard a voice again: "Seven hundred million spirit coins!"
Is this guy really planning to buy out the entire auction?
