The auction for the final energy gem, which had been expected to be the highlight of the auction, ended in such a short period of time. This was something that even the organizers had not expected.
Lan Jue's face was as calm as ever as he sat there. His expression was as calm as ever.
He only glanced at the front row.
At this moment, the person in the front row who had previously bid had already quietly stood up, bent over, and quickly walked to the side.
He actually left the auction house just like that.
The old auctioneer's heart trembled. Of course, he knew why that person had left.
This kind of thing was not uncommon in auctions.
Today's situation was already very peaceful. In some small auctions, there would even be situations where threats were made.
If he was strong enough, even the auction house would not dare to offend him.
"Next up is the final item of today's energy gem auction, which is also the highlight of today's auction.
At the same time, it was also the highlight of the auction.
I believe that all the distinguished guests have seen it from the name list.
The final item of the day is an s-grade power gem from Planet Lir, the Tear of the Sea God. "
Pushing the cart onto the stage, inside the crystal cover, a strange teardrop-shaped gem appeared.
This gem had a dreamy blue color, and the strange color gave off an exceptionally mysterious feeling.
A faint halo was emitted from it, but there were no powerful energy fluctuations. Instead, it made people feel as if their bodies and minds were being cleansed.
No matter what kind of negative emotions there were, they would naturally disappear after feeling that pure aura.
Lan Jue's eyes flashed, and she immediately returned to normal.
"How much funds can we mobilize?" Xiu Xiu, who was beside Lan Jue, asked in a low voice.
Xiu Xiu gestured to him.
Lan Jue nodded and didn't say anything else.
The old auctioneer on the stage said, "Everyone knows.
If a planet could produce an S-rank energy gem, then it would be worth it.
In that case …
It could be called the Gemstone Planet.
Planet Lyr is fortunate enough to receive such an honor, and the reason is because of this five-carat Tear of the Sea God in front of you.
Even the museum we are in is named after it. "
"The Tear of the Sea God is known as the purest energy gem in the world. Not only does it purify itself, it also purifies others.
Wearing it at all times could expel distracting thoughts and negative emotions.
The possibility of mental interference was greatly reduced.
At the same time, the Tear of the Sea God can also … "
The old auctioneer tried his best to introduce the items on the stage, but there was no reaction from the audience.
After the auction of the Sea God Pearl, their enthusiasm seemed to have disappeared.
"Alright, let's start the auction.
The starting bid for the largest Tear of Neptune in history was 400 million Eastern Alliance coins.
Each bid must not be lower than 5,000,000 Eastern Alliance coins. "
The audience was silent.
Four hundred million wasn't much to an S-grade power gem.
The best S-grade energy gems were priceless treasures.
However, the Sea God's Tear's almost useless ability was because its existence lacked value.
Simply put …
Its greatest effect was actually to purify the impurities in other energy gems, making them of higher quality.
However, the Tear of the Sea God also required a huge amount of energy to be used.
It did not emit energy by itself.
This was one of the reasons.
Secondly, the higher the grade, the better the impurities. Almost all known S-grade energy gems were free of impurities.
Under these circumstances, the Tear of the Sea God was so valuable, so how could anyone be willing to accept it?
This was the third year in a row that the Tear of the Sea God had been put up for auction.
The first two times had been rejected.
Time ticked by, and the auctioneer's expression grew more and more helpless. He knew that the Tear of the Sea God would be rejected again.
According to the rules, if an item was rejected three times in a row, it would not be allowed to be auctioned again.
The first time the Tear of the Sea God had been auctioned, the starting bid had been 600 million Eastern Alliance coins.
This time, it had been reduced to 400 million.
It had already been reduced twice.
In fact, it was already lower than the cost price.
The seller, who had hoped to make a fortune with it, could only endure the pain.
Even so, it did not gain the approval of more people.
"400 million." Just then, the dignified voice from before rang out once more.
The auctioneer snapped out of his daze. If the previous item had caused him to feel negative emotions, then this time, it was like hearing the sound of nature.
"400 million. Mr. 570 bids 400 million.
Is there any higher bids? "His voice grew louder.
However, his question seemed to be just a formality. He only waited for half a minute before continuing to shout three more times!
Bang! The hammer fell.
"Sold!"
The most expensive auction item in the history of Planet Lir had been successfully sold.
The winning bid was 400 million Eastern Alliance coins.
Lan Jue instantly became the center of attention. The total amount of money they had spent today had reached 500 million Eastern Alliance coins!
Su He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Are you really a teacher?" he asked in a low voice.
Lan Jue smiled. "I have a small shop. If you ever come to Skyfire Avenue, please come to Skyfire Avenue.
My shop is called Zeus Jewelry Shop. "
Two teams of security guards quickly entered, separating Lan Jue from the others. They escorted them to the VIP area to complete the transaction.
And it was one of a kind.
When Xiu Xiu had paid the full amount, they received a VIP card from the Lyr Auction House.
At the same time, a private car quietly passed through the underground tunnel to send them away. The entire process was done in the most secure way possible.
Lin Guo-guo held the Neptune Pearl in her arms, while Xiu Xiu held the box containing the Tear of Neptune.
Lan Jue and Su He sat in the front row, while Xiu Xiu, Lin Guo-guo, and Ya Xiu sat in the back.
This extended verti-car was large enough to seat eight people.
"Xiu Xiu, your boss is spending so much money. As his assistants, aren't you going to warn him?
It looks to me like he made all these decisions on the spur of the moment! "Ya Xiu couldn't help but whisper to Xiu Xiu.
Xiu Xiu smiled. "The boss must have his reasons for every decision he makes, and every decision he makes is the right one."
Lin Guo-guo laughed. "Sister Ya Xiu, just pretend we've been brainwashed by the boss."
Ya Xiu shook her head helplessly. She didn't know what else to say.
Power gems weren't something that could be easily measured.
Su He and Ya Xiu took Lan Jue and the others back to the hotel, then took their leave.
They agreed to meet the Bookworm again the next day.
"Guoguo, come to my room," Lan Jue said to Lin Guo-guo.
Lin Guo-guo was taken aback. She blushed. "Boss, it's broad daylight. I don't think that's a good idea."
Xiu Xiu's expression froze, and her brows furrowed.
Lan Jue smacked her on the head in exasperation. "What's going on in that little head of yours?
Xiuxiu, come along too. "With that, he turned around and left.
Lin Guo-guo stuck out her tongue in pain. Xiu Xiu covered her mouth and giggled.
The two girls followed Lan Jue to his room.
Xiu Xiu closed the door, then stepped forward. "Boss, please keep this Tear of Neptune."
"Just keep it," Lan Jue said. "We'll have to hand it over to the Skyfire Avenue committee when we get back.
We owe them a big favor, and we'll have to return it.
This Tear of Neptune might not be of much use to others, but in our hands, it might prove useful.
Guoguo, give me the Pearl. "
"Oh." Lin Guo-guo handed the pearl to Lan Jue. Lan Jue stowed it away in her interspatial pocket.
The other items they bid for would be sent directly to their designated address by the auctioneer.
There was no need for them to bring it back.
Lan Jue's hand flashed, and a crystal box appeared in her palm. It was the strange, wriggling piece of metal.
Lan Jue carefully placed the box on the table, then turned to Lin Guo-guo. "Guoguo, you have a Psychic Discipline. Try and see if you can communicate with it."
Only then did Lin Guo-guo understand why Lan Jue had called her. She nodded, and her eyes instantly turned golden. Her gentle Psychic Discipline slowly probed the metal in the crystal box.
Lan Jue looked at Lin Guo-guo intently. The golden light in Lin Guo-guo's eyes became stronger and stronger, and the surface of the metal in the crystal box also had a layer of silver halo, making the blue light inside look unusually bright.
Lan Jue narrowed his eyes. The electric field inside the metal didn't strengthen.
It was still in the same state as when he had probed it earlier.
After a quarter of an hour, the golden light in Lin Guo-guo's beautiful eyes gradually faded.
She shook her head at Lan Jue. "No, boss.
I tried to communicate with it in many ways, but there was no response. I also couldn't feel its Psychic Discipline.
However, one could vaguely feel the purity of its own nature.
There seems to be a strange energy inside it that is resisting my Psychic Discipline.
I can't really see the internal structure of it.
I just feel that it is very gentle, as if it can tolerate everything, but it is also very tough and has its own bottom line. "
Lan Jue frowned and thought for a moment. "If Guoguo can't communicate with it with her Psychic Discipline, then it means that this metal either doesn't have Psychic Discipline, or it is not an intelligent life.
Either that, or it had hidden itself too deeply.
Okay, you guys go back first. I will try again later. "
"Boss, that's it!
What are we eating tonight? "Lin Guo-guo giggled.
Lan Jue said, "You guys go eat tonight. I want to study this metal. It may be very important to me."
"Oh." Lin Guo-guo pouted her red lips, but still got up with Xiu Xiu and left Lan Jue's room.
Asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes.
