"This friend, how about selling me your Thousand Black Magic? I can exchange it for something else."

A man suddenly tried to suggest from the side.

"No need, I just want that dagger."

The man in the black robe refused without hesitation.

"What if I exchange it with a better dagger?"

The man said somewhat unwillingly.

"A better dagger?"

The man in the black robe turned his head to look at the man.

Unfortunately, before the man could speak again, the beautiful auctioneer on stage coldly reminded:

"You should know the rules here, you are now trading with us, no matter who you are, you must abide by the rules here."

The man turned his head to glance at the beautiful auctioneer, then smiled wryly and said apologetically:

"Sorry! I got too excited for a moment."

After speaking, he no longer mentioned the trade and silently sat back down.

"Okay, this Thousand Black Magic can be exchanged."

The beautiful auctioneer also did not pursue the matter further, turned her head to lightly nod at the man in the black robe.

Before long, a beautiful hostess took the black box to exchange it with the man in the black robe for the Thousand Generals' Head.

"Next, we are auctioning this, a fine piece of Imperial Green Jade, starting price is eight hundred thousand US Dollars, and each bid must not be less than twenty thousand US Dollars."

The beautiful auctioneer let someone directly place an ostrich egg-sized raw stone of jade on the auction platform.

"What a pity, they only accept cash here. Otherwise, I would definitely bid on this piece of jade."

Zhou Hanyun's eyes shone as she looked at the raw jade stone, with a look of disappointment.

"If you like it, just bid boldly!"

Yang Yan said softly beside her.

"You brought money? How much did you bring? I didn't see you carrying any bags!"

Zhou Hanyun asked suspiciously.

Zheng Feng, listening from the side, didn't react much to Yang Yan's previous words.

Because just now, he faintly felt that Yang Yan, whom he had initially overlooked, was anything but ordinary.

How could an ordinary person know the secrets of the Hidden World?

Even for him, it's all hearsay.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes today, he would have found it hard to believe.

Since Yang Yan was so confident, he must have his methods.

"Don't worry, if you like it, go for it, funding will definitely not be a problem."

Yang Yan said confidently.

Zhou Hanyun hesitated for a moment, then gently nodded.

"One million nine hundred thousand, one million nine hundred thousand the first time, one million nine hundred thousand the second time, one million..."

"Two million!"

Just as the beautiful auctioneer on the stage was about to drop the auction gavel, Zhou Hanyun shouted her bid.

Seeing Zhou Hanyun's bid, although Zheng Feng was somewhat worried, catching sight of Yang Yan's determined face, he said nothing.

"This beautiful lady has bid two million US Dollars! Is there more?"

The beautiful auctioneer waited for ten seconds, saw no one else bidding, and raised her gavel again:

"Two million the first time, two million the second time, two million..."

"Two million one hundred thousand!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

This piece of Imperial Green, if given to a skilled carver, the jewelry set crafted could easily exceed three million US Dollars, so there is still great potential for appreciation.

Zhou Hanyun couldn't help but glance at Yang Yan.

She feared that Yang Yan might not have prepared enough cash.

"Shout freely within the value!"

Yang Yan said softly.

She suddenly brightened up and shouted another price:

"Two million eight hundred thousand!"

She raised it by seventy thousand US Dollars in one go, already quite close to the top price for this Imperial Green.

The value exceeds three million US Dollars, but it also has to be sellable.

Emerald jade isn't as widely favored, popular mainly in Huaxia and Southeast Asian regions.

So, compared to other jewelry, sales channels are somewhat limited.

Two million eight hundred thousand is somewhat high already.

However, Zhou Hanyun wasn't looking at how much she could profit but hoped to find a flagship piece that could quickly make the newly opened Zhou's Jewelry famous.

"Two million eight hundred thousand the first time, two million eight hundred thousand the second time, two million eight hundred thousand the third time!"

Bam!

As the auction hammer struck, the beautiful auctioneer passionately announced:

"Sold! Congratulations to the beautiful lady for winning this piece of Imperial Green."

The hostess in charge of this lot immediately brought the Imperial Green to Zhou Hanyun.

According to the rules here, payment should also be made at this time.

Zhou Hanyun did not reach out to take it but turned to look at Yang Yan.

What he never expected was that Yang Yan smiled faintly:

"Sorry, we didn't bring cash."

As soon as Yang Yan finished speaking, the auction room fell silent, and eyes filled with ridicule and even schadenfreude turned towards him.

"Is he tired of living, daring to mess around here?"

"What a pity for that beautiful lady. Let's see if we can negotiate with the auction house to buy that woman back."

"Might as well hold another bid. I find her quite appealing too!"

...

"Sir, are you joking with us? This joke is not funny at all!"

The beautiful auctioneer stared intently at Yang Yan and spoke softly.

"Haha, I'm not joking with you. We really didn't bring cash. How about I trade this thing, and you compensate me with money, does that work for you?"

Suddenly, a stone appeared in Yang Yan's hand.

The stone was only the size of an egg, pitch-black, looking no different from the pebbles by riversides.

After Yang Yan took out the stone, the beautiful auctioneer's eyes lit up.

She couldn't maintain her composure, quickly running down in her high heels.

"May I have a look?"

The beautiful auctioneer, now cautious, asked.

"Feel free."

Yang Yan said indifferently, handing over the pitch-black stone.

The beautiful auctioneer held the stone in her hands, examining it from multiple angles, occasionally letting out a sigh.

Finally, she reluctantly returned it, awkwardly saying:

"Sir, we can't afford this stone, we don't have that much cash. How about we exchange it for something else?"

Yang Yan merely smiled:

"I didn't bring cash, but in the upcoming auctions, I might be interested in some items."

Hearing this, the beautiful auctioneer's eyes brightened, and she quickly said:

"That's simple! Although we don't accept credit cards, only cash here, no one carries such a large sum, transactions are done using exchange tokens."

"I'll have someone bring a hundred million US Dollars' worth of tokens, and if you fancy anything, you can bid directly with tokens. As for the rest, we can discuss it later, does that work for you?"

The beautiful auctioneer said with extreme respect.

"Hmm! That'll have to do for now."

Yang Yan nodded, then continued:

"So, can we settle the account for this jade later?"
