At 10: 00 PM, the door to the lounge was opened. Baird and the others walked out, but did not see Mr. Locke, who was wearing sunglasses.
"Chen Yang, what do you think of the stones in the garden? Is there anything good there? " When Baird came over, he immediately asked Chen Yang about the results of the inspection.
Chen Yang pointed to a few pieces randomly. The results were mixed, and Baird was silent this time.
Immediately afterwards, this area was cleared. Only those with special invitations could stay in the gambling den after the inspection.
The venue was set up like an auction, leaving about a hundred people behind.
A man in a black suit, probably in his fifties, walked out of the stage. He was in high spirits and wore gold-rimmed glasses.
After he got on the stage, the scene had completely quieted down. Everyone's eyes were focused on the person on the stage.
"Welcome to the Underground Kingdom. I am the host of this stone gambling auction, and I believe an old friend of mine knows me. My name is Obispi, and I preside over every stone gambling auction here."
After the introductions, there was no applause or any other activity. Obispi was not embarrassed. This was something he was used to.
"There's something different about the stone this time. The stone was personally inspected by a team of experts and they are all extraordinary items."
Hearing this, the people in the audience started to discuss in whispers, including Baird and Uriah.
Chen Yang also went over to Wu Ming and said, "It seems like the stone in the garden is just a scam. The real treasures are only taken out now."
"Young master, is there any danger?" Wu Ming asked with a serious expression.
"Maybe, but that's after we go out." Chen Yang said in a mocking tone. He wasn't worried about any danger. Instead, he wanted to test his own strength.
"For the stone auction, the starting price is 1 billion, and every time you raise the price, you have to increase it by 50 million, and all the stones you get must be opened on the spot." Obispil continued.
This price was not cheap. Moreover, this was the price of each piece of rock. It was unknown what kind of high price they would get.
"There are a total of ten stones for this auction. Let us take a look at the first one."
Next, he used the cart to push up the first stone. This stone was shaped like a ingot, with a circular drum shaped like a ladder in the middle of its two pointed tips.
Chen Yang immediately opened his eyes when he saw this rock. He found that the things inside this rock were really not simple. There was a piece of naturally formed Jade Water Jade in the shape of a ingot.
The material of this jade was on par with the Vert Empire, and it was also in such a shape, so its value was far from what one billion could take. Many merchants, in order to amass wealth, could not imagine the value of this stone.
"Alright, the starting price is one billion, and each increment is not less than 100 million!" As soon as he finished, someone raised the plate in a hurry.
"1.2 billion."
The price was directly increased by 200 million, and some people raised their tags, unwilling to fall behind.
"2 billion!"
This wasn't even considered the cap, there was someone directly raising the price to 5 billion! These were all US dollars.
Chen Yang calculated the price in his heart and smacked his lips. The price of this piece of jade is at most 3 billion. This is just foolishness. If he were to raise the price this high, even if he meant well, he would at most get 5 billion.
"Alright, five billion going once!"
Oblivion Lisbon struck the first blow, his eyes scanning the people in the room.
Just as he was about to put down the second hammer, someone else raised the price.
"5.1 billion!"
This person had only increased the price by a hundred million.
The man who just called out 5 billion glared at the man in warning and continued to raise the price.
This time, this person did not continue with the bid. This natural gem shaped jade was auctioned off by this person for a price of 5.2 billion!
He didn't even hand over the stones. A few stonecutters came up with tools to clear the stones. Someone in charge of collecting the items went up to the auctioneer and swiped his card.
As the rock crumbs flew into the air, the stone was opened. The jade-green water stood in a circle the size of a fist. It was extremely beautiful and exquisite.
A staff member wearing gloves and a tray cleaned the jade and delivered it to the buyer. He was happily reading it, and many people in the crowd looked at him with envy.
Very quickly, after cleaning up the scene, the second rock also came up. This time, there were two fist-sized Vert Empire s inside, it was really something extraordinary.
However, Baird and the others did not make any moves. It was as if they were waiting for something.
Seeing Chen Yang's gaze on him, Baird smiled and said, "Chen Yang, if you have anything you like, you can bid for it. Of course, it's with your own money."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "I feel that since everyone invited me to participate in such a stone auction, there's nothing that can be used of me."
"Mr Chen, that's indeed the case. Because we've found an even more powerful person, you can take a rest and take a look." Baird said at this time that he didn't need him at all.
Chen Yang shrugged helplessly. He felt that something was wrong. If he wasn't needed, it was very likely that he would be attacked as soon as he finished his business here.
Wu Tie didn't show it on his face. He turned his head and pretended to discuss the stone on the stage with Wu Ming, secretly warning Wu Ming to be alert that something dangerous might happen.
The second stone was sold for seven billion dollars, and the person who got it was also very happy.
Following that, they auctioned three different pieces of jade for four billion, 9.2 billion, and 7.3 billion, all of which were special breeds not inferior to Vert Empire s.
The owners of the other two stones weren't so lucky. The value of the stones they had won was very low. They were so embarrassed that they directly left the stage.
"The last three stones that were auctioned were filled with uncertainty. It could be that the item was jade, or that there was nothing inside." Aubrey said with a serious look on his face.
People in the audience were also discussing nonstop. Baird and the other two people were focused on the stage, as if they had been waiting for something like this.
A stone the size of a teapot was brought out, but it was in the shape of a square block.
"This rock might sell for something, so the starting price is ten billion dollars! "Every bid is no less than five hundred million, no more than that!"
The crowd burst into an uproar. None of those stones had reached ten billion, so the starting bid for these three stones was already ten billion!
This price made some people feel scared, especially those that had just been auctioned off.
Baird directly called out a price: "11 billion!"
Originally, he thought that no one would compete for such a high price. Unexpectedly, the moment Baird finished his sentence, a competitive voice rang out.
"1.5 billion!"
"13 billion!"
"14 billion!"
In the eyes of these people, money was just a number, they had no specific concept of it.
Chen Yang's interest was piqued. What treasure did these people spend so much money on?
