Villain: I Pick Up Rewards Next to the Female Lead

"Two million one hundred thousand!"

"Three million!"

"Three million one hundred thousand!"

"Four million!"

...

Long Haotian gritted his teeth, his breath becoming heavier.

He had developed a bit of murderous intent towards Mu An.

If it weren't for the other party's interference, he would have secured this pair of hairpins for one million!

Now the price had reached four million, and the other party was still raising it by a million as if money meant nothing!

The scene was reminiscent of his earlier bidding war with that noblewoman, only now the roles had reversed!

The guests present couldn't help but discuss among themselves.

"Four million! My God, for his fiancée, Young Master Mu is really extravagant!"

"Buying a pair of hairpins for four million is already an astronomical price! Those company executives whose companies aren't even worth four million might be crying! It just shows that people's joys and sorrows are different!"

"If you ask me, that security-looking guy is really too clueless!

He still wants to compete with Young Master Mu on price; what capital does he have?

He's just a little dog!

He probably doesn't even have that much money and is just pretending to be impressive!"

Hearing a series of belittling comments about himself, Long Haotian became even angrier, his face growing increasingly frightening.

After returning to the country, he had limited liquid funds, only five million.

He thought that would be enough to handle most situations requiring money.

But he never expected that today, just the money for bidding on one item might not be enough!

"Long... Brother Long, if it really doesn't work, let's just give up? After all, it's just a pair of hairpins!"

"And losing the bidding to Young Master Mu isn't embarrassing at all!"

Lin Tu struggled to swallow some water, wanting to persuade the other party to give up.

But how could the furious Long Haotian listen to him?

"No! I refuse to believe he has that much money!"

"This time, I'm bidding... five million!"

Unlike before, when he only added ten thousand to Mu An's bids, this time he went all in and raised it by a million!

This was all the money he had on hand!

He couldn't believe it!

He was the dignified Dragon King, the favorite child of the heavens; how could he lose to a spendthrift?!

But reality was destined to disappoint him...

"Ten million!"

It was still that lazy voice.

But it was the most impressive statement made in the most relaxed tone!

When this price was announced, everyone in the room was left speechless, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Because this time, Mu An didn't just add a million; he jumped straight to ten million!

Ten million!

To put it into perspective, there might not be many companies in the country with a market value over ten million!

And now, ten million was just being used to buy a pair of hairpins?

This world was too crazy!

Everyone couldn't help but have the same thought.

At this point, Long Haotian's performance looked like that of a powerless, furious clown.

Trying to fight against gods with the strength of an ant!

People cast scornful and sympathetic glances at him, as if saying:

'Why pick a fight with Young Master Mu?'

'Your entire fortune might not even compare to his monthly allowance!'

Long Haotian clenched his fists and stood up, glaring angrily at Mu An.

This time, he was finally done holding back!

"Are you kidding me? You bid ten million for a pair of broken hairpins?"

[The Dragon King protagonist is about to be driven mad by your unreasonable bidding, especially with the idle chatter of those onlookers making him feel utterly humiliated, failing to show off and instead getting slapped in the face. Protagonist's luck -1000, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation Years +50]!]

"Whatever the bid is, it's my preference!"

"Anyway, all the money from the auction will be donated to charity!"

"I'm just a person with too much money and nowhere to spend it, and I like doing charity, is that a problem?"

"If you can bid higher, then do it; otherwise, stop talking nonsense here!"

Mu An remained composed, not in the least bit anxious.

He even found it a bit amusing that the Dragon King was so easily rattled.

Where were they now, and he was already losing his cool?

- [Exactly! Trying to act tough without money? Hilarious!]

- [Go back to being a security guard! Maybe his previous bids were just for show! He probably doesn't have that much money at all!]

- [Of course! How much money can a guy in a security uniform have? I don't even know who let him in! Being with him at the auction is just bad luck!]

Faced with the crowd's accusations and mockery, Long Haotian's face turned red with anger.

If he had money, would he be this furious?

He would have long used his wealth to slap these people's faces!

On the other side, the old man with white hair was still diligently conducting the auction.

His hands were trembling with excitement.

This was the most expensive item he had ever auctioned off!

"Ten million, first call!"

"Ten million, second call!"

"Ten million, third call!"

"Transaction successful! Congratulations to Young Master Mu for acquiring this pair of dragon and phoenix hairpins!"

As he spoke, he jogged over to deliver the wooden box containing the hairpins, looking very respectful.

Long Haotian naturally couldn't stop any of this.

Unless he directly intervened and snatched it, he could only watch helplessly as the hairpins fell into Mu An's hands.

But if he dared to act, he would undoubtedly offend all the wealthy and powerful people present.

Then it would be extremely difficult for him to develop in Long Country in the future, which would go against his original intentions!

'Just wait!'

'Young Master Mu, huh?'

'You'll soon regret going against me!'

As if he thought of something, Long Haotian smirked wickedly.

[Designated Item Tenfold Cashback Card*1] used successfully, congratulations, you have received a cashback amount of +100 million!]

——————

A small target achieved effortlessly!

Mu An was in a good mood.

He played with the exquisite dragon and phoenix hairpins, a slight smile on his lips.

If all went well, he could earn another emotional reward with this!

And sure enough...

"Actually, you didn't have to bid for such an expensive item for me!"

Lin Zichan bit her cherry lips, her eyes filled with complexity as she spoke.

But Mu An immediately looked at her with a dumbfounded expression.

Who said this was for you?

"Haven't I said it before? I have too much money and nothing to do, so I bought it for myself!"

Lin Zichan: ???

Too much money and nothing to do? Bought it... for himself?

"So this isn't... for me?"

Lin Zichan's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

"Although your identity is my fiancée, you don't like me, and you haven't created any value for me."

"Do you really expect me to spend ten million on you? Aren't you being a bit unrealistic?"

"Or do I look like a big fool?!""Mu An couldn't help but chuckle.

Lin Zichan opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately fell silent.

(??ˇ?ˇ??)

"After learning that the gift wasn't for her, Lin Zichan felt disappointed, wronged, and angry. Clearly, she didn't dislike him at all; in fact, she had developed quite a fondness for him and was trying hard to fall in love with him!"

[Lin Zichan's complex emotional fluctuations +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Blue Star Song: I Really Like You]!]

"Clearly, you took action except for the last step, yet you still can't see her changing feelings!"

[Lin Zichan truly felt your indifference, her resentful emotional fluctuations +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Collector's Edition: Lin Zichan's Bathing Photo Album (Like It or Not)]!]

.....

A perfect two-in-one hairpin!

Once again, enjoying the emotional reward!

Mu An's mood improved even more.
