ALL NOVEL Chapter 78: Money, Spent More and More
"The starting price for the Dragon and Phoenix Harmony Hairpin is five hundred thousand! Each bid must increase by no less than ten thousand!"
After a round of introduction, the old man shouted loudly.
This Dragon and Phoenix Harmony Hairpin has a long history, is made of expensive materials, and is exquisitely beautiful, not falling into clichés.
Whether for collection or to wear out, it would give people a sense of pride!
So many of the noble ladies present were quite tempted.
Soon, they began to place bids.
"Five hundred and twenty thousand!"
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Five hundred and eighty thousand!"
...
The price kept rising.
And Long Haotian could no longer hold back.
Most of the other bidders were noble ladies.
As a man, it felt somewhat awkward for him to participate in their bidding.
But he couldn't care about that anymore.
Now he just wanted to get that item as soon as possible!
"Eight hundred thousand!"
Long Haotian raised his head and said loudly.
From a price of less than six hundred thousand, he instantly jumped to eight hundred thousand, surprising many people.
They all looked over at him, only to find that the one calling out the bid was a man in a security uniform, causing them to frown.
Who let the security guard in?
And how could a small security guard, whose monthly salary barely reaches 320.0, have the audacity to make such bold claims?
Mu An also shook his head slightly.
Others might not understand, but he definitely did!
If the protagonist wasn't deliberately dressing so casually in a formal setting, how could some inconspicuous guy present himself to be slapped in the face by him?!
But with him here today, Long Haotian's show-off was destined to fail!
After all, when it comes to who has more money, he truly wasn't lacking, even having more than enough to spend!
"Eight hundred and ten thousand!"
A noble lady couldn't stand it anymore and coldly called out a bid.
If such an item were to be won by a mere security guard, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to everyone present?
"Ninety thousand!"
Long Haotian didn't hesitate to raise his bid.
"Ninety-one thousand!"
The noble lady hesitated for a moment but still placed a bid.
"One million!"
Long Haotian continued to raise the price significantly. It was as if he was telling everyone that he was determined to win this auction item!
Meanwhile, Lin Tusheng, the young master of the Lin family, was starting to panic.
One million was not a small amount!
If Long Haotian were buying something cheaper, he might have been able to ask his parents to help him out under the pretense of being a lifesaver.
But clearly, this price was far beyond his expectations!
"Brother Long, isn't this price a bit high? How about we... change to another item for the auction?"
Long Haotian scoffed, feeling even more disdain for him. The young master of the Lin family couldn't even come up with a million?
"Don't worry! You don't need to pay this small amount; I can afford it myself!" Long Haotian said casually, as if it were just pocket change to him!
"Brother Long is indeed deep and unassuming!"
Hearing that he didn't have to pay, Lin Tu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately gave him a thumbs up. On the other side, the noblewoman who was competing with Long Haotian for the price chose to give up. Although it was somewhat uncomfortable for her to see someone dressed like that win the item, the price of over a million clearly exceeded the value of the pair of hairpins!
Everyone wasn't foolish; the money they earned didn't come easily. There was no need to waste so much money just for pride! "The current highest bid for this pair of dragon and phoenix hairpins is one million! Is there anyone willing to bid higher?" The old man on stage was almost unable to contain his laughter. After all, as an auctioneer, he naturally wanted to encounter more big spenders like this!
"One million, first call!" "One million, second call!" "One million, third..." Just as the auction was about to conclude, a lazy voice interrupted. "Two million!" Wow—he raised it by a million directly! That was essentially doubling the price! Spending two million for a pair of hairpins? Who was this prodigal son?!
The crowd couldn't help but exclaim. But upon seeing who placed the bid, they felt it was quite reasonable.
"I was wondering who was so extravagant, throwing out millions in a blink; turns out it's Young Master Mu, so it's fine!"
"It seems Young Master Mu has taken a liking to this item and wants to buy it for his fiancée! Spending lavishly just to make her smile! Truly the style of the Mu family young master!"
"Oh, I can only say that being Young Master Mu's fiancée is really too fortunate! If someone were to give me a gift worth over a million, I would definitely be so moved I'd cry!"
"Pfft! Don't think I don't know you have millions yourself! You'd cry? You're just after his money! And there's more! Pfft! You're shameless! You're despicable!"
Listening to these envious whispers, the cold Lin Zichan's pretty face couldn't help but flush a little.
She didn't expect this guy, who usually seemed so unreasonable, could win a girl's heart so well!
So, should she accept this gift when the time comes? And what kind of expression should she have when accepting it?!
For a moment, her heart felt a bit nervous and flustered.
[Thinking this item was specially bought for her, Lin Zichan felt a bit more anticipation and confusion, emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Designated Item Cashback Card*1]!"]
[Lin Zichan developed complex feelings towards you, favorability +1+1+1+1+1... emotional fluctuation +16, congratulations, you have received the reward [Golden Outside, Rotted Inside: Switch Card*1]!]
[Designated Item Tenfold Cashback Card*1]: For a designated item purchased, receive ten times the money back!
[Golden Outside, Rotted Inside: Switch Card*1]: Stealthily switch a designated item, leaving behind an indistinguishable imitation! Distance limit: fifty meters!
——————
"Actually, you don't need to spend such a high price to buy a gift for me! It's too extravagant!" After hesitating for a long time, Lin Zichan finally spoke softly. Mu An: ??? What is this woman talking about? Who said this was bought for her? How self-important! This was clearly just his way of countering Long Wang!
However, the emotional rewards he received from her were quite nice! [Golden Outside, Rotted Inside: Switch Card*1] could be used to play tricks on people! [Designated Item Tenfold Cashback Card*1] was like a large zero-cost purchase plus reverse money-giving on-site!
——————
So sometimes, Mu An really felt troubled! He clearly wanted to spend money, but the more he spent, the more it increased!
'Where can a prodigal spend? Who understands, family!'
On the other side, Long Haotian was furious.
That rich second-generation from the Mu family was messing up his good fortune again!
He was so close to winning, but now, due to the sudden price increase from the other side, he had no choice but to spend even more money to compete?!
