C108 – Rune Card Auction

On the one hand, she could choose to eliminate herself on the field; on the other hand, she would be hacked out of the game by He Yishu’s sword in front of all the onlookers. No matter which of the two choices was made, it would be very difficult for Elisa, as both choices were extremely humiliating.

 

 

But on the contrary, she still had to make a choice right now; otherwise, things would only become more difficult and worse as time went on.

 

 

Just when Elisa was caught in a dilemma, He Yishu once again spoke in a relaxed tone.

 

 

“Since you don’t want to chat with me and you’re not going to eliminate yourself, I’ll just have to say something interesting.” He Yishu’s tone was very lighthearted. It was true that abusing scum could make people physically and mentally happy. “Do you still remember what you did before when you purposely insulted me in front of Adrian? At that time, you and I had never met before, yet you were so hostile towards me; should I say that I’m too good and provoke jealousy, or should I say that you’re too careful?”

 

 

These words made Elisa think of the scene in a certain previous match. At that time, when she saw He Yishu recount certain past events one by one, Elisa thought that it was because his opponent was so weak that he was publicly humiliated by He Yishu.

 

 

When things really came down to her, Elisa realized the humiliation and powerlessness of being in such a situation!

 

 

This kind of humiliation wasn’t only because He Yishu publicly put forward the past, but also because Elisa herself was forced to understand that the incident brought her own humiliation; the double humiliation overlapped together, almost making Elisa want to explode.

 

 

He Yishu, however, as if that were nothing, continued to speak: “Later we finally met formally, but in the end, the first time you met me, you deliberately provoked me for the sake of your family’s interests, and you were even in my flat.”

 

 

“Enough! Don’t continue to talk nonsense!” Since the matter He Yishu brought up involved the reputation of the Brandt family, Elisa had to open her mouth to stop him.

 

 

“Huh, you’re finally willing to open your mouth?” He Yishu wasn’t annoyed, after hearing Elisa speak, he even asked with interest, “Then are you able to tell me why the Brandt family secretly installed surveillance equipment in my flat at that time?”

 

 

Elisa didn’t even have time to stop him. He Yishu had already finished his sentence; obviously, he had prepared to do this. Thinking of how she had just tried to stop him in anger, expecting that she could cover up the situation made Elisa’s face burn with pain.

 

 

She definitely couldn’t let He Yishu continue; otherwise, not only she, but the entire Brandt family would lose face in front of countless people!

 

 

Thinking this way, Elisa finally made up her mind, and with a heart full of humiliation, she chose to eliminate herself before He Yishu spoke again.

 

 

The system then announced the result of the match. He Yishu wasn’t surprised by Elisa’s maneuver, but did she really think that by doing this, she would be able to shut his mouth?

 

 

If Elisa really thought so, then she was truly too naive.

 

 

At the moment before they were about to be teleported out of the map, He Yishu smiled lightly and spoke, “Although I didn’t invite the Brandt family to my auction, seeing as you took the initiative to surrender to me, I can give you a chance to participate. What do you think?”

 

 

He Yishu’s words were clearly a deliberate attempt to humiliate Elisa as well as the Brandt family, but apart from Elisa herself, who had correctly comprehended the gist of it, everyone else who heard these words had all thought the wrong way.

 

 

Their focus wasn’t on whether or not the Brandt family had been invited, but rather on the fact that Rune Card Big Brother was actually going to hold an auction!

 

 

Although this form of auction wasn’t unique to the rune card world, as a rising star in the rune card world that was noticed by millions of people, when these words came out of He Yishu’s mouth, naturally, the vast majority of people directly positioned it in the aspect of rune cards.

 

 

So what kind of rune cards would He Yishu, as a rune card big shot, be auctioning off at the rune card auction?

 

 

The answer was, of course, only one, and that was Han! Characters! Rune Cards!

 

 

As for the matter of abusing the scum, with the Han character rune cards in place, who would care about those scum? Just let them perish on their own!

 

 

Thus, He Yishu’s casual remark about abusing scum before the end of the match turned out to not play any role in abusing scum but instead caused an uproar on the internet due to a deflected angle.

 

 

Onlooker #1: Crap! Rune Card Big Brother is actually going to hold an auction? Is this for real or not?

 

 

Onlooker #2: That’s what he said himself; of course it’s true, and I guess it’s an auction for Han character  rune cards, isn’t it? It’s exciting to think about it!

 

 

Onlooker #3: I also feel very excited! But, as a member of the lower class who knows he can’t possibly afford to buy a Han character rune card, what am I so excited about? I should be in tears right now!

 

 

Onlookers #4: Hold on tight upstairs; I’m also… But Rune Card Big Brother is not an ordinary person after all; do you think his auction will also be like the previous Han character rune cards teaching course? Directly letting everyone sign up and then selecting from the list? If that’s the case, I think we might still have a slight chance of being able to participate in Rune Card Big Brother’s auction.

 

 

Onlooker #5: The big guy is finally willing to sell his Han character cards. I’m so excited! You guys have no idea how miserable I felt every time I saw a big guy using his Han character cards so generously, but I couldn’t get a single one for myself!

 

 

Onlooker 6th: Upstairs+1, every time I see the big shot casually using Han character rune cards in various ways, I have the illusion that these symbols and cards are definitely not real. However, the fact is, no one in this world except him has such cards! This contradictory mood has been entangled deep in my heart, and now it is finally about to be broken!

 

 

Onlooker #7: I’ve been dreaming every day about when I’ll get a Han character rune card, and now the chance has finally come, and just when I was feeling excited, I suddenly realized a more serious problem: I seem to have no money.

 

 

Onlooker #8: I’m begging the big guy to see me! I’m your brainwashed fan; I’ve bought every kind of rune card in your shop more than once, and I’m very, very rich, kneeling down and begging Big Brother to give me a chance to participate in the auction!

 

 

Onlooker #9: Burn the rich show-off party upstairs!

 

 

Onlooker #10: Burn the rich upstairs!

 

……

 

 

He Yishu didn’t know that the virtual network had already created a life-and-death duel between haters and the rich show-offs because of what he had just said, and after leaving the competition, he continued to discuss the auction with Adrian.

 

 

Although it was true that talking about it on the field was mainly for the sake of abusing the scum, He Yishu definitely didn’t do it completely on a whim.

 

 

A few days ago, Adrian had told him that the preparations regarding the auction were almost done, and the next step was to officially send out the invitations.

 

 

In addition, Adrian also told He Yishu that this time the Ministry of the Army directly arranged the auction venue to be in the Ministry of the Army, a very lofty place to hold formal banquets, which could be said to be showing He Yishu respect.

 

 

He Yishu, of course, was very satisfied with this; he couldn’t help but hug and kiss Adrian again and again. The result was that he was dragged to bed by Adrian.

 

 

Back to the topic, on the matter of who to invite, Adrian also gave his own suggestion: “In addition to the Brandt family, as well as a few families that are on the same front as the Brandt family, I think that all the other big families can join the invitation line.”

 

 

“That’s fine, anyway; my purpose is to make money; as long as they don’t have any grudges against me, there’s no reason for me not to invite them.” He Yishu nodded. Although it was important to properly organize this auction, what He Yishu cared most about was making money.

 

 

Adrian very much liked He Yishu’s money-obsessed look and immediately wrapped his waist and kissed the corner of his lips: “Apart from these big families of the Rune Card world, whoever else you want to invite, you can do it according to your own preferences.”

 

 

“Let me think about it; let’s first pull over those students who were selected by me to participate in the Han character rune card lectures; I’ll get familiar with them in advance.” He Yishu leaned in Adrian’s embrace and counted with his fingers, “There’s also those people on the virtual network; although there’s not a lot of communication in normal times, their support for me also plays a pretty big role. We can give criteria and select some from the people who signed up for the lectures to participate in this auction.”

 

 

In fact, their support was secondary, the main thing was that there was certainly no lack of rich people among these people. He Yishu, of course, still hoped that his rune cards could be sold at a high price.

 

 

“Okay, I’ll listen to you on all of this.” Adrian had no objections at all to this matter, but he still reminded him, “But since we’re going to send out the invitations, we need to determine the exact time the auction will be be held now.”

 

 

He Yishu rested his chin on  his palm and thought about it. After this period of time, he had already prepared the textbook of Han character card more or less. As for the school’s course, because of the dean’s personal guarantee, he didn’t need to worry at all. “The recent period of time is fine; help me decide which day you think is suitable; I can’t think of a day that is the most suitable.”

 

 

“Okay, and we also need to determine the specific process of the auction. As the finale of this auction, Han character rune cards must not appear too early. Therefore, before the rune cards, some of them need to be used as inspiration.” Adrian really liked the feeling of being relied on and needed by He Yishu. “Based on your strength, of course, you can also make some less powerful cards, but this opportunity is very suitable to bring you closer to some card families. Therefore, my father’s suggestion is to invite some other families to join this auction.”
