Ultimate Scheming System

Chapter 440: Is He Really Showing Off His Prosperity Here?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ten million?

All at once, all the people in the audience were dumbfounded.

Isn’t it insane?

Why did he bid for a magical artifact with ten million low grade Spirit Stones without even waiting for the introduction, and even without knowing the level of the artifact?

He is just making trouble, right?

Everyone looked towards the room of Xu Que in mute amazement.

Now only lunatics who sought death could make trouble in the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce.

The woman who was wearing the court dress was also stunned at this moment.

After hosting so many auctions throughout her life, today she had broadened her horizons again! An auction could be used to show off one’s prosperity!

No, it seemed it was not only for showing off his prosperity; it was also for bickering!

Liu Yun’s face was quite gloomy.

This was the perfect definition of slapping someone in the face!

Just now he had made a bid of one million and said some sarcastic words. Then the next moment, Wang Sicong had made a bid of ten million right away.

His face looked as if it had been slapped, which was painful and shameful!

The more Liu Yun thought about it, the madder he got. His family could be considered one of the richest families in the Imperial City. He had never expected to be humiliated like this in today’s auction, and it made him feel quite embarrassed.

"I don’t believe he is truly able to offer ten million low grade Spirit Stones. This guy must be a troublemaker!" Liu Yun shouted immediately as he stood up.

His words also resonated among many participants of the auction.

None of them had ever seen an auction participant as dominant as Xu Que. It seemed like the Spirit Stones were just numbers in his mouth. His arbitrary bidding was too outrageous!

From one million to ten million low grade Spirit Stones, his bids for ordinary magical artifacts were impenetrable. This would be unacceptable even for the emperors of the five nations!

Some people of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce also started to become doubtful.

Before, people with the jade invitation cards were treated as distinguished guests. As long as the jade invitation card was produced, the chamber of commerce would never inquire about any personal information of the holder.

However, they were now bothered by the current situation!

Why did the guy use ten million low grade Spirit Stones to buy an ordinary magical artifact?

It is extremely irrational!

It was okay if the guy in private room 3 was really wealthy; otherwise, it would make a fool out of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce if a guy who didn’t have enough Spirit Stones to pay had managed to buy all the auction pieces.

"Zhuang, send someone to check out the guy in No. 3 private room and investigate his background." Finally, an old man was sitting in the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce delivered a message to the lady who was wearing the court dress.

"As you wish!" the woman who was wearing the court dress replied without turning a hair. Then she opened her red lips to deliver the message to one of her maidservants, asking her to perform the investigation.

The maidservant nodded her head slightly; then carrying the White Pearl Golden Hairpin, she sent it to Xu Que’s room on the second floor.

Everyone fixed their eyes on that maidservant and watched her enter the private room of Xu Que.

Everyone was wondering whether the guy in that private room could really produce so many Spirit Stones!

After all, ten million low grade Spirit Stones was really a big number.

Many people in the building could afford this price. However, they would rather die than spend ten million low grade Spirit Stones on an ordinary magical artifact.

Therefore, at this moment, a lot of people thought the guy in that private room on the second floor was absolutely a trouble-maker.

"Humph! That guy is doomed!" Liu Yun snorted coldly, his tone full of sarcasm.

"If he can’t provide over ten million Spirit Stones, he will be deemed as a malicious bidder. His punishment will range from cultivation deprivation to a death sentence according to the rules of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce!"

...

A moment later, the wooden door of that private room opened suddenly.

After that, the maidservant ran back to the hall in a flurry, taking that jade plate. She nodded at the lady who was wearing the court dress slightly.

Everyone was shocked and didn’t know what was happening.

What’s going on?

She just entered that room for a short while; why did she ran out in a flurry?

Could it be that the guy in No. 3 private room has a formidable background?

Whoosh!

At this moment, the blind in No. 3 private room on the 2nd floor was drawn aside suddenly.

Wearing the human-skinned mask and a white robe, Xu Que appeared gracefully before the eyes of everyone.

Standing there poker-faced, Xu Que pretended to be aloof as he glanced over all people in the hall majestically.

Everyone was stunned.

The guy in No.3 private room was a young man!

He was so young, handsome and elegant! He looked nothing like a pushy rowdy brat!

"Humph! Your Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce is too snobbish! You really don’t think I can afford the price of just ten million Spirit Stone?" At this moment, Xu Que snorted coldly.

Whoosh!

The next moment, he took out ten best grade Spirit Stones from his storage in the System, which floated in his palm.

Ten best grade Spirit Stones were equal to one thousand high grade Spirit Stones, or one hundred thousand middle grade Spirit Stones, or ten million low grade Spirit Stones!

"Gasp!"

All at once, everyone gasped.

Holy shit! This guy really has ten million low grade Spirit Stones!

But is he mad? Why did he state such a formidable price for an ordinary magical artifact?

"See? I can definitely afford the price I state. If you doubt me again, you will have problems!" Xu Que said coldly; meanwhile, he heard the System’s notifications about his successful tough-acting.

The hall was in silence!

No one dared to speak a word again!

In particular, Liu Yun’s face was red all over. He could find no place to hide himself for his shame.

After seeing Xu Que, the lady who was wearing the court dress was stunned slightly. It seemed that she hadn’t expected the person in the private room to be so young and handsome.

When she came to herself, she immediately explained with a smile, "What Lord Wang said is right! I worried too much and I am really sorry about that. I hope Lord Wang will be magnanimous enough to forgive my rudeness."

Xu Que waved his hand, "I promised to someone that I will not make trouble here. So let’s just forget it and I will accept your apology as if I am making a new friend."

"It is my great honor to be a friend of Lord Wang!" said the lady who was wearing the court dress in delight.

Everyone was jealous of Xu Que. The reason that this lady was the auctioneer of the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce was not only her charm arts, but also her beauty.

It would be much easier to develop a closer relationship with such a gorgeous woman after making friends with her.

For this, Xu Que was admired by many male cultivators in the hall!

However, Xu Que bragged with a sneer, "Not to mention honor. When I want to make friends with others, I never concern myself with how wealthy they are. Anyway, none of them are wealthier than me!"

His words widened the eyes of everyone in the building and almost made them spit blood.

Damn! This guy is really showing off his prosperity here!

You don’t care about how wealthy the one who you are going to make friends with is; just because you are always wealthier than them, right?

What the hell! How wealthy can you be?

No matter how wealthy you are, can you be wealthier than the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce, which is the No. 1 chamber of commerce in the five nations?

However, when everyone settled down, Xu Que started to speak again.

His face was full of impatience and boredom. He urged, "Since there are no more questions, let’s just proceed with the auction! How about this? Just place all auction items on the platform. Anyway, I, Wang Sicong, will buy all of them!"
