Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Sold

Upon hearing that, Qian Luobing took a deep breath, finally raising her paddle and calling out.

"12,100,000!"

The auctioneer, Malam, was a bit surprised. He then chuckled and said,

"The lady bids 12,100,000! Do I hear a higher bid?"

Seeing Qian Luobing bid again, Ainiluo raised her paddle and shouted,

"13,000,000!"

Qian Luobing frowned slightly and looked at Long Ming.

"Bid whatever you want. I’ll cover whatever you need," Long Ming said in a hoarse voice.

"13,100,000!"

Qian Luobing raised her paddle and continued bidding.

When Ainiluo saw Qian Luobing matching her, she grew annoyed and was about to raise her paddle again.

Just then, Buxheli, who was beside her, quickly grabbed her arm and said,

"This Mechanical God is good, but bidding any higher isn’t worth it."

"I don’t care! I have to win today! She already has me beat in other ways. If I let her get this Mechanical God, how can I show my face in the future?! 13,500,000!" Ainiluo shouted, immediately raising her paddle.

"13,600,000!"

Qian Luobing continued to match the price.

She was determined to win this Mechanical God. People with powerful backgrounds had channels to purchase good Mechanical Gods.

But for people like her from a Little Civilization, there were no such channels.

Of course, this was a method used by the older civilizations to suppress the newer ones and maintain their own status.

"14,000,000!" Ainiluo spat viciously.

Hearing this price, Qian Luobing turned to look at Red Ghost, who was sitting beside her.

Although she was putting up the bulk of the money, Red Ghost was lending her the rest.

But Red Ghost came from the same civilization as her. Even if he was quite skilled, he shouldn’t have that much money under normal circumstances.

She was a little worried about bidding more than he could afford.

But to Qian Luobing’s surprise, Red Ghost showed no reaction whatsoever.

Qian Luobing immediately raised her paddle and shouted,

"15,000,000!"

The entire venue was instantly in an uproar.

"My god!"

"15,000,000!"

...

Ainiluo exploded with rage when she heard Qian Luobing’s bid. Just as she was about to raise her paddle, Buxheli quickly held her down.

"Don’t be impulsive!"

"Let go of me!"

"Calm down. The price is too high."

Buxheli held Ainiluo down firmly, terrified she would keep shouting bids.

Just then, Malam, the auctioneer, shouted excitedly,

"15,000,000 going once!"

"15,000,000 going twice! Any higher bids?"

"Sold! Congratulations to this lady for winning the Third Generation Mechanical God, Blazing Wing."

...

CLAP CLAP~

The venue immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Seeing the gavel finally fall, Buxheli secretly breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Ainiluo’s hand.

"Buxheli, didn’t you say you had plenty of money and I could buy whatever I wanted?" Ainiluo questioned him angrily.

"That price is too high! It’s just not worth it!" Buxheli tried his best to explain.

"You’ve disappointed me so much!"

Furious, Ainiluo stood up and left.

"Ainiluo!"

"Ainiluo, listen to my explanation!"

...

Seeing Ainiluo leave in a rage, Buxheli didn’t even care that the auction wasn’t over. He hastily got up and chased after her.

Qian Luobing turned to Long Ming and said,

"Thank you!"

"You’re welcome. Give me your payment code."

"Okay! Just transfer me 3 million."

Qian Luobing immediately raised her wristband.

"Transferred."

Long Ming raised his wristband, scanned hers, and transferred the money directly.

"Let’s exchange contact information. I’ll pay you back later," Qian Luobing said calmly.

"Mm."

Using Red Ghost’s account, Long Ming sent a friend request to Qian Luobing.

Qian Luobing immediately accepted it.

Just then, the auctioneer, Malam, shouted with great excitement,

"Everyone, next up is the grand finale of tonight’s auction: the Fourth Generation Mechanical God, Hunter!"

KCHA~

The auction stage behind Malam suddenly split open.

A circular metal platform rose up, and on it stood the Fourth Generation Standard Mechanical God, Hunter.

"As you all know, Mechanical Gods are rare enough, let alone a Fourth Generation model. Although this Hunter is just a standard entry-level model, it’s still far beyond what a Third Generation Mechanical God can compare to. Furthermore, this one was taken down by decapitation, so the damage is minimal!" Malam explained to the crowd.

"Whoa, a Fourth Generation Mechanical God!"

"If only someone would gift me one."

"Lady, you may be pretty, but you should stop daydreaming!"

"Even nobles would have a hard time getting their hands on a Fourth Generation Mechanical God like this. I hear the manufacturing process is incredibly complex."

...

The crowd broke into discussion.

Jiang Huai and the others also spoke with faces full of envy.

"Miss, it’s a Fourth Generation Mechanical God!"

"Mm, we’ll have one in the future!"

Qian Luobing’s eyes were filled with determination.

Long Ming couldn’t help but give Qian Luobing a second glance, but he didn’t say anything.

Malam began excitedly, "I’m sure you’ve all been waiting eagerly. The auction will now begin, with a starting price of 70,000,000 Star Coins!"

When the crowd heard this price, they all gasped.

"Wow, that’s so expensive!"

...

Just then, the bid light for VIP Room 3 lit up, and the price instantly shot up to 80,000,000!

The venue instantly erupted.

"Who is that rich? They raised it by 10,000,000 right off the bat!"

...

Long Ming was also very surprised.

Then, the bid light for VIP Room 1 also lit up, and the price immediately soared to 95,000,000!

Following that, the other VIP rooms also started bidding one after another.

"96,000,000!"

"97,000,000!"

"100,000,000!"

...

Listening to the bids from the VIP rooms, Qian Luobing and her group grew increasingly silent.

Long Ming, on the other hand, was secretly hoping the price would go even higher.

’The money I have on hand isn’t nearly enough to bid, and I can’t sell those Sharp Gold Stones right now. The biggest sum of money I can get at the moment is from this Fourth Generation Mechanical God.’

In the end, VIP Room 1 bid 130,000,000, and the other VIP rooms stopped bidding.

"130,000,000 going once!"

"130,000,000 going twice!"

"Sold!"

...

CLAP CLAP

The crowd burst into thunderous applause.

"Thank you all for attending this auction. Next, we ask the winning bidders to please proceed to finalize their purchases. As for our other guests who were not successful, please don’t be discouraged. We hold an excellent auction every half-month, so please feel free to come again...." the auctioneer, Malam, announced to the crowd.

Long Ming immediately got up and left.

Qian Luobing watched Long Ming’s departing figure, her cool eyes flickering slightly.

"Miss, what exactly is that Red Ghost trying to do?"

"He didn’t bid on anything at all. Instead, he just lent us money?"

"Isn’t that a little too kind?"

...

Jiang Huai and the others asked warily.

"I don’t know. Once we have the funds, we’ll just pay him back. The war between civilizations has already begun, and the situation is becoming more and more unstable. Let’s secure our weapon first," Qian Luobing calmly told Jiang Huai and the others.

"Yes!"

Jiang Huai and the others all nodded in agreement.

...

Long Ming left the auction hall and entered the main lobby, where he was met by the sight of the charming Betty.

She was chatting and laughing with a few elegant men.

When Betty noticed Long Ming, she ended her conversation and walked over with a smile.

"Mr. Red Ghost, were you satisfied with the auction price?"

"It was acceptable."

"The money will be deposited into your account within twelve hours."
