*Dong! Dong! Dong!*
Midnight was finally here. And that marked the very first day of the Lunar New Year! Focker had prepared a massive firework show for them. The colorful bright light that came from the firework managed to light up the whole night sky.
According to tradition, the adults were supposed to give out red envelopes to the younger one. Little Fire Boss, NeZha, Hong Haier, Wenyuan, and Murong Xiaobei were given many red envelopes. Without a doubt, they felt really happy about it. Though Chen Xiaobei's age was similar to theirs, he became the one that gave out the most number of red envelopes. All the red envelopes that he gave out contained a bank card with 8,888,888 inside it.
Do not ask why! With the money that he owns, he can do whatever he pleases!
Finally, the Lunar New Year Eve came to an end. Everyone went back to their room to have a good sleep with a joyful heart.
During the second day.
Almost everyone slept until noon. Wonderful lunch was served to them once they woke up. After having their lunch, they brought in the mood to enjoy the facilities on the island – like they were living in paradise. This was all thanks to Chen Xiaobei. However, he himself did not even have the time to go and relax.
"How long till the auction?" asked Chen Xiaobei.
"Half an hour! People have started to enter the auction hall."
"Okay. I think I should head in as well. I'm curious what kind of people will attend such a high-end auction!"
The more powerful people came to attend this auction, the more valuable the Ambergris became!
"Actually, you don't have to rush it! The ten thousand years old Ambergris was arranged to be sent out last! There are two more items being auctioned off before it! You might need to wait for some time before the Ambergris is presented to potential buyers."
"Oh right! I have meant to ask you, what are the other two items that are about to be auctioned off? I believe that they are no ordinary items since they are valuable enough to be auctioned together with my Ambergris!"
"You are right! Though the other two items are not as valuable as Ambergris! They could still be considered as one of those really rare items in this world! A lot of people are actually here to buy them!"
"The first item is a thousand-year-old white jade Ganoderma! The second one…"
"What?! Are you sure it's a white jade Ganoderma? And it's one thousand years old?"
Before Focker could finish his sentence, Chen Xiaobei went ahead and interrupted him.
"I'm pretty sure! Before I send anything to the auction, I will ask a professional to check on them! I will never allow myself to make any silly mistake! If not, my reputation will be at stake!"
"This is great! This is really great! I have been looking for this item for so long! I have never thought that I can cross path with this white jade Ganoderma on Paradise Island!"
"Master, why are you so happy about it?"
This white jade Ganoderma is one of the main ingredients to concoct the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill! And this is exactly the item that I need the most right now!"
"Eh? Something doesn't add up… Regarding the medical ingredient that you ask me to find last time, I don't see white jade Ganoderma being written on it!"
"You are right! I did not write white jade Ganoderma! Instead, I wrote a thousand-year-old Ganoderma! But a white jade Ganoderma can replace the thousand-year-old Ganoderma! And the effect of the pills will be boosted by folds!"
"But I know that white jade Ganoderma is extremely rare! That is why I didn't write it on the list!"
"No matter what I need to get my hands on it today since I finally found the item that I wanted for a long time! Oh right! What is the starting bidding price of the white jade Ganoderma?"
"Five billion dollars!"
"What? That is so expensive!"
Five billion dollars is equivalent to thirty-two billion yuan! That is more than the total wealth of the Lan Family! And this was only the starting bidding price! In other words, the price would increase if there were a lot of people bid for it! That was completely beyond Chen Xiaobei's expectation. But, he knew that it was only logical that it had such a high price tag on it since it was extremely rare!
Considering that its medical value was extremely high, those who needed it would not value it with money. Chen Xiaobei would not hesitate to get it since he had a lot of money with him. Even if he was asked to use all his money to trade for it, he would definitely say yes to it with no questions asked. The only thing that he worried was the money inside his account might not be able to fight off some of the fearsome potential buyers. Immediately, Focker was smart enough to know that Chen Xiaobei's worry.
"No way! I have actually attracted a lot of attention for bringing my family to come to your castle to celebrate the Lunar New Year! Your family is going to come and look for me if I ask you to pay for it!"
"Err… Master! You are right! When it comes to money, my family is always very sensitive about them… Transactions that are more than billion will be monitored by some specialists!"
"That is why I cannot use your money! Actually, you don't have to worry too much about it! Billions of dollars and thirty-nine billion yuan should be enough to buy out the item, right?"
"The money that you have with you is more than the starting bidding price by a fold! If I'm not mistaken, that should be more than enough!"
"Okay! Sounds good to me! What is the second item that is about to be auctioned off after the first item? You did not finish your sentence just now."
"The second item is a mysterious box that from an ancient pyramid!"
"Mysterious box? Why is it mysterious?"
"After the professional checked on it, they are sure that this mysterious box was one of the items that Pharaoh brought with him when he was being mummified and buried! Until now, no one can open that box! The entire box was made of some special metal! And there is a keyhole above it! Countless locksmiths have tried their luck on it but none of them could unlock the box!"
"There were even people tried to use dynamite to blow it open! And there were people tried to pour acid on it! None of these methods work so far."
Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei's curiosity was piqued.
"From the sound of it, this box is really mysterious! I should bid on it in case the item inside is extremely rare!"
"I wouldn't recommend you to do that! The starting bidding price is one billion dollars! It's not cheap at all! And you didn't even know what is being stored inside the box! You can't even make sure that you can unlock the box! I'm afraid you can't sell it after you buy it!"
"Other might not know what's inside! But I will know! We will see! There could be some rare treasure inside the box!"
*Dong! Dong! Dong!*
