C112 – Two and a Half Billion
by UntamedS“Another special attribute of this Han character card is that it can permanently boost the user’s mental energy!” The host said the correct words in an excited tone.
Next, the entire banquet hall was silent for several seconds before someone came back to their senses and asked rhetorically with a trembling voice, “Are you sure that it’s the user’s mental energy that’s being boosted, and not the producer’s?!”
“I’m sure!” The host said on one side while finally displaying the complete test results of this Han character rune card.
Looking at the data displayed on the virtual screen, everyone held their breath in unison, their gazes sweeping over the item from top to bottom, and when they saw that the second special attribute of this Han character rune card clearly stated that it could permanently raise the mental energy of the rune card user, everyone again inhaled a breath of cool air in unison!
This was simply too incredible!
A rune card being able to permanently increase the user’s mental energy was something they had never heard of and didn’t even dare to think about!
But now, this rune card was right in front of them; it was so close to them, yet it felt like an illusion.
Was there really a rune card with such a heaven-defying effect in this world?
As the situation in front of them was too unbelievable, someone couldn’t help but blurt out, “Are the test results you provided sure to be accurate?”
The person who spoke up was sitting very close to He Yishu, and He Yishu immediately glanced towards that person and said with a smile on his face: “As the producer of this Han character rune card, I’m actually not sure if the test results provided by the Military Department are accurate or not, so if you have any doubts about this, I would suggest that you don’t take part in the bidding of this rune card later on. ”
These words caused the other party’s face to turn red, and the other party obviously realized that his questioning just now was quite unreasonable; immediately bowing his head in apology, he spoke first, “I’m sorry, I was just too shocked, I didn’t mean any harm.”
He Yishu raised an eyebrow and didn’t say anything else.
The host on the stage once again read out the data of this Han character rune card one by one, and then paused for a moment in a slightly reluctant manner before continuing, “The starting price of this Han character card is one million credits, and the bidding will begin next.”
As soon as the host’s words fell, someone immediately shouted out a figure: “Five million! I bid five million!”
The first bid directly raised the bidding price from one million credits to five million, so it was obvious how strong everyone’s interest in this Han character rune card was!
The next bidding process was even more intense.
“Six million!”
“Seven million!”
“Ten million!”
“Thirteen million!”
“Fifteen million!”
“Seventeen million!”
“Twenty million!”
……
Listening to these numbers continue to add up, He Yishu’s face finally showed a very obvious smile. This was money that was about to come into his pocket.
But after a few minutes of effort, the price of this Han character card had been raised to one hundred million. If expressed in Arabic numerals, it would be one, followed by eight zeros. He Yishu counted with his fingers, feeling extremely pleased.
However, although after 100 million, there were still people following the bidding, the number of competitors obviously reduced. After all, many people’s economic strength was limited, so even if they wanted to get this Han character rune card, they also had to consider if they could afford it.
As such, many of the people present wore pained expressions, obviously very reluctant to part with this Han character card.
“One hundred and twenty million!”
“One hundred and twenty-five million!”
“One hundred and thirty million!”
“One hundred and fifty million!”
“Two hundred million!”
As soon as this number came out, the banquet hall was obviously silent for a split second. With two hundred million credits, this number was obviously very shocking.
The host silently sucked in his breath, feeling very sorry for the fact that he was about to part with this Han character card: “Now someone has already raised the price to two hundred million credits, so there is still…”
“Two hundred and fifty million! I am determined to win this Han character card!” Someone aggressively interrupted the host’s unfinished words.
By this time, even those who had held out were already a bit overwhelmed, and if it continued to add up like this, even if they were able to come up with the money, they’d obviously grit their teeth to take it out.
Unfortunately, the attraction of the Han character card was too great; even if that person’s momentum was very sufficient, there were still people who followed and called out the price. “Two hundred and sixty million!”
“Two hundred and seventy million!”
“Three hundred million!”
This figure made almost everyone silently suck in a breath of cold air, and at the same time, a complex emotion called hatred of the rich silently welled up in their hearts. Why didn’t they have three hundred million? Why was the world like this?
And when someone added the price to four hundred million, they couldn’t even hate the rich anymore and directly looked lifeless; four hundred million was too far away from them; they didn’t even dare think about it.
Indeed, comparing oneself to others could be infuriating. Initially, they thought they were already very wealthy and might actually be able to buy a Han character rune card to take back. However, when they compared themselves to certain people… Forget it, they still couldn’t compare.
A few moments later, the host dutifully opened his mouth: “Four hundred million credits for the first time! Four hundred million credits for the second time…”
“Four hundred and ten million!”
“Five hundred million!”
This figure left everyone dumbfounded. Looking at all the rune card auctions in history, there had never been such a high price!
“Five hundred million for the first time, five hundred million for the second time, five hundred million for the third time,” the host’s hammer struck heavily, but his voice seemed extraordinarily sad because this Han character card already had a owner: “Sold!”
A fierce applause rang out in the banquet hall, and although the vast majority of people were extremely regretful, such an atmosphere still mobilized the surging passion in their hearts.
After inviting the guest who had successfully gotten this Han character card to go to the backstage to sign the relevant agreements, the host let out a long breath and adjusted his tone, saying, “Everyone need not feel regretful, because Mr. He has prepared a total of five Han character cards for this auction, so there is still more than one chance to obtain a Han character card!”
As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately became more enthusiastic, and some people even couldn’t help but cheer loudly.
Although He Yishu, who was sitting below, wasn’t as excited as these people, a smile had also crept onto his face. Five hundred million credits—that was a lot of money.
“Happy?” Adrian came to He Yishu’s ear and asked in a low voice. The corner of his lips also secretly kissed He Yishu’s earlobe gently.
He Yishu nodded repeatedly, the corners of his mouth almost grinning behind his ears.
Adrian let out a low laugh and continued, “If I say that the final auction price of these next four talisman cards will only be more than 500 million and will never be less than that, won’t you feel happier?”
“Really?” He Yishu’s eyes slightly widened; there was clearly a stream of light flashing through his eyes. He thought that 500 million was already the upper limit for the auction of Han character cards; could the next transaction price still be higher than that?
Adrian nodded. “Of course, there were a few family patriarchs who contacted father before, but at that time they wanted to buy a Han character card privately.”
“They offered the price of 500 million at that time?” Rich people were different; they were willing to pay such huge sums of money just to buy a single Han character card.
“Their upper limit was four hundred million,” Adrian shook his head, and seeing that the brightness in He Yishu’s gaze dimmed a bit, he immediately added, “But at that time, they didn’t know that the Han character card you produced could also enhance the user’s mental energy. In this case, adding one hundred million credit points will be very cost-effective for them.”
These words caused He Yishu’s eyes to sparkle once again: “If each rune card is 500 million, then if all five rune cards are added together, wouldn’t that be 2.5 billion? My goodness! I’m going to be so rich.”
“Yes, and you were already rich.” Adrian’s words had just reached the halfway point when He Yishu cupped his face with both hands and kissed him fiercely.
After kissing, He Yishu said with a strong voice, “My dear, I am rich now; I will support you in the future!”
Looking at the starlight in He Yishu’s eyes, Adrian’s heart softened, and he came close to He Yishu’s lips and kissed him, softly responding, “Okay, I’ll leave everything to Xiao Shu in the future.”
The people sitting in front of and behind He Yishu and Adrian had all their attention on the Han character card auction, but these two people suddenly acted this, almost causing their eyes to go blind, and they almost couldn’t see what the Han character card on the stage actually looked like.
As Adrian said before, after the four cards, each sold for no less than 500 million credits, the second was 530 million, the third was 570 million, the fourth was 550 million, the fifth was 580 million.
At this point, the auction finally came to a successful conclusion, and He Yishu happily ran to the backstage to collect the money.
The buyers of the Han character cards were several big Rune Card families, so they paid very quickly, and even took the initiative to pull He Yishu to ask if there were other Rune Cards that could be sold, even if they weren’t Han character cards.
In response, He ‧2.5 billion net worth ‧Yi‧True Landlord‧Shu smiled and said, “If you want to buy non-Han character cards, you can directly go to my shop on the virtual network to buy them, as for Han character cards, I have no intention of continuing to sell Han character cards for the time being.”
The patriarchs of the several major rune card families felt regret in their hearts while silently sighing in relief, taking out a half a billion at a time was fine for a family like theirs, but if they continuously took out so much, even they, would definitely not be able to afford it.
As for the other reason they breathed a sigh of relief, it was because now He Yishu only sold five rune cards, which meant that even though there were thousands of rune card families, only five of them owned Han character cards, which was obviously extremely favourable to their position in the rune card world.
After earning so much money at once, He Yishu’s whole body was almost floating. Before leaving the military department, He Yishu directly contacted Qiao An: “Qiao An, are you free today? I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”
Adrian, who was standing beside He Yishu, frowned less happily. He had thought that today he would be able to spend a nice two-person moment with He Yishu, but who knew that He Yishu would directly contact Qiao An.
However, Xiao Yishu liked to share with his friends when he was happy; it was also an understandable thing, so Adrian could only hide the jealousy in his heart first.
Qiao An heard that He Yishu’s tone wasn’t quite right and asked, “Did something happen?”
“Of course it’s a good thing.” He Yishu’s voice was filled with laughter.
Qiao An was silent for a moment then he hesitantly asked, “Can I… bring Zheng Juncheng over with me?”
Listening to his tone, it seemed that there was significant progress between Qiao An and Zheng Juncheng.
“Yes, you can choose the place; after you think about it, send me the location, and Adrian and I will go there directly.” He, Yishu, was still very happy. Seeing his smiling face, Adrian couldn’t help but reach out and scratch his nose.
