Everyone was speechless, all looking towards the private box from which no one could be seen.
Seven hundred million spirit coins was already the top price for seven diamond-grade equipment. Anything higher would not be very cost-effective, especially since Zhou Yan had already bought so much. Even if they bid more, the other party would unhesitatingly add a bit more, and it would still be bought by him in the end.
It was just a set of diamond-quality equipment, so they did not continue to compete with Zhou Yan, and instead prepared for the next item.
Zhou Yan once again acquired the entire set of diamond equipment. Afterward, the auction proceeded to another batch of materials: eight-star quality soul stones.
The first batch was also ten thousand in quantity, and the price was the same as before, starting at one billion.
These materials were of the same quality, so their prices were naturally similar. As the starting bids were announced, others began to increase them by one hundred million at a time.
Zhou Yan was very direct, bidding forty billion from the start. If anyone else bid, he would immediately bid forty-five billion spirit coins, making everyone else gnash their teeth in hatred, yet utterly helpless against him.
"This guy, no one is buying anymore."
"It's not worth it. Everyone is not a fool, so naturally, they won't bid anymore."
"This guy is too rich."
This auction, naturally, was once again won by Zhou Yan.
For the next two batches of materials, others finally did not want to give Zhou Yan any more opportunities and began to compete with him. However, for Zhou Yan, who was not short of money, how could they possibly compete with him?
It was merely a matter of spending a little bit more spirit coins, what a big deal.
Although others were very reluctant to give way to Zhou Yan, looking at prices that were already several times higher than the market rate, they ultimately chose to give up.
The other party could afford it, but they couldn't afford to be hurt!
In the end, these materials were still bought by Zhou Yan, leaving others both envious and helpless. They also wished they could bid so recklessly like Zhou Yan, but their funds were insufficient.
As the auction progressed, Zhou Yan began his auction show. No matter how much others bid, Zhou Yan would always offer a higher price.
Others realized that their participation in this auction was merely to highlight the uniqueness of Private Box Number Six.
Because in this auction, they had hardly any part to play. Every item auctioned had nothing to do with them; they were simply there to make up the numbers.
This was simply a personal concert by Zhou Yan, and they were just ticket-paying audience members.
Wait! They were here to compete for auction items, not to watch how Private Box Number Six conducted its bidding!
"This item has a starting bid of fifty billion."
"I'll take it for two hundred billion."
"This one starts at one hundred and eighty billion!"
"Does anyone have a higher bid for two hundred billion?"
"This one for two hundred billion!"
"Let's go with five hundred billion."
......
They wanted to stop Zhou Yan from competing, but after looking at their wallets, they helplessly found that they simply did not have the strength to stop him.
Watching Zhou Yan bid and bid and bid, completely disregarding money, and then looking at their own insignificant little bits of spirit coins, they felt like complete paupers.
The happiness of the rich only left the poor to watch them buy things with utter helplessness.
"This guy is so rich, where the hell did he get it from!"
"I thought I was quite wealthy, but compared to him, I feel so poor!"
"I felt quite impressive with my hundreds of billions, but his funds are countless times mine!"
"Holy crap! How much money does he have to splurge on!"
......
Countless people looked speechlessly at Private Box Number Six. If their gazes could penetrate that box, Zhou Yan would have already been pierced through by a thousand daggers.
"This bastard, how much money does he have? He must have spent trillions of spirit coins!"
In Private Box Number One, Du Xun could no longer hold back as he watched Private Box Number Six continuously bid.
Even as a member of the overseas Du family, he could not possibly have trillions in liquid capital to use. Yet, look at the person in Private Box Number Six, who never hesitated when buying things.
If you dared to bid one hundred billion, they would bid five hundred million more. If you increased your bid by five hundred million, they would casually add ten billion to surpass you. Would you dare to follow?
It was fine if you dared to follow, but what if they suddenly decided not to bid anymore? Who could afford to lose such a massive amount of funds?
This was over ten billion spirit coins, not a small sum of a few hundred million. Who dared to gamble with such enormous capital?
Even Du Xun dared not. What if he kept following, and then the other party gave in? Who would be the unlucky one?
"I didn't expect such an important figure to come to Shangyang City. It truly surprises me!" The City Lord of Shangyang City had gone from astonishment to shock, then to dumbfounded, and now to numbness.
"With so much money, if I could connect with him, wouldn't I be well-off for the rest of my life?" Du Mei was scheming in her mind.
"Husband, we must get to know this person. His status must be extraordinary, and we cannot miss this opportunity. If we miss it, we might miss a lifetime."
Du Mei coquettishly advised the City Lord in his ear, pressing her body against his. What man could resist such a demeanor? At least Du Xun felt a surge of heat in his lower abdomen and decided that tonight he would engage in thirty rounds with this distant cousin.
Du Xun believed his combat strength was formidable. Thirty rounds was his limit, and he also believed that no other man could surpass him.
"Don't worry, I will definitely make a good connection with such a person." Even without Du Mei's reminder, the City Lord of Shangyang would absolutely not give up the opportunity to befriend him.
Someone who could casually produce trillions in liquid capital, what background and status could they possibly have if not an ordinary person?
Zhou Yan: Stop guessing, I'm just a normal person.
"Someone, go wait outside Private Box Number Six. Be extremely respectful. After the auction ends, I will personally pay a visit. We must not let him feel my hostility. Also, make sure those who don't have eyes stay away from him."
The City Lord of Shangyang began to issue orders to his subordinates. Not only did he arrange for people to prevent others from approaching, but he also wanted to ensure the other party's safety. He wanted to be friends with him, as this matter would only bring benefits and absolutely no harm.
"My husband is doing the right thing." Du Mei quickly planted a kiss on him, making the City Lord very happy.
Because of Zhou Yan's grand gestures, many people were indeed waiting for him, wanting to befriend such a figure.
Whether it was to make friends with such a huge financier or to have him invest in some projects, it would bring immense benefits.
But with the intervention of the City Lord of Shangyang, those people were all driven away.
Furthermore, the City Lord of Shangyang dispatched sufficient manpower to protect Zhou Yan's safety, hoping to gain his favor.
Unfortunately, the City Lord of Shangyang still had no idea that the person in Private Box Number Six was Zhou Yan, who had a conflict with Du Xun.
