With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

When Lin Fan's eyes fell onto the seed, he had used his Appraisal Eyes on them like he had done with every single item that had been brought out.

That was what he had used to determine whether he would bid on anything and so far, it hadn't led him wrong.

However, the description that he got for this seed was something that he never expected.

[Mysterious Seed]

A mysterious seed of unknown origin that will bloom into something amazing when grown under the right conditions.

"Something amazing"

That was Lin Fan's first time seeing the word amazing being used by his system.

This was a system that had been created by a god and even when he looked at items made by other gods, the system had never used the word "amazing".

For the system to use this word now, it must really be something amazing.

So Lin Fan made the decision that he would buy it.

He just hoped that it wouldn't be too expensive…

And his hopes were answered by Mei Mei.

Seeing that she was losing the crowd, Mei Mei immediately moved on to the price of the seed. She gathered herself after being at loss as to what to say and then said in her usual confident voice, "The starting price for this item will be a hundred gold coins and each increment must be ten gold coins. Please don't miss out on your chance to own this amazing item, place your bids now!"

But after her voice fell, all that she was met with was silence.

There was not a single person that was interested in this seed, so no one had made a bid.

Even the people who had been her biggest fans didn't make a bid for this seed. After all, even if they were her fans, buying something like this wouldn't do anything for them. It was better to save their money for bigger items that would bring them benefits that could also impress her.

Mei Mei just silently waited for a single bid, but seeing that there wasn't any person that was going to make a bid, all she could do was stand there with a smile on her face. However, that smile became more and more awkward as time passed.

She even considered using the people that the One Martial Chamber of Commerce had planted in the crowd for such an occasion.

She knew that if she did this, it would hurt the One Martial Chamber of Commerce's reputation, but if she didn't do this…with the current situation, they would lose more reputation if they allowed this to continue.

This was why she had told her dad not to add this weird seed to the auction list…

But before she could give the order, there was a bid that suddenly cut through the room.

"One hundred gold coins."

It was a bid that came from one of the private booths on the first floor.

This was the bare minimum bid, but to Mei Mei, it was like a saving grace since this was at least an actual bid. With this, they would be able to get rid of this seed and move on with the auction without too much damage.

So as soon as Mei Mei reacted, she went to raise her gavel to start the count, but she couldn't even get her words out before another bid came in.

"One hundred and fifty gold coins."

This wasn't a bid from one of the people the One Martial Chamber of Commerce had planted, this was another actual bid which was why Mei Mei was surprised when she heard.

Not only her, even Lin Fan was surprised when he heard this bid.

He had seen the atmosphere of the crowd when the auction for this seed had started, so he was caught off guard by the fact that someone else had wanted to bid against him for this seed.

But still, that didn't mean that he was willing to let this seed get away. So after coming back from his shock, Lin Fan immediately said, "Two hundred gold coins."

When the person who had bid against him heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes to look in Lin Fan's direction. But even if he did look at Lin Fan, he didn't do anything else other than walking away in the end.

Seeing that this other person wasn't going to make a bid, Mei Mei quickly gave the three count before selling this seed to Lin Fan.

The girls who had been in the room with Lin Fan were surprised to see him using their money on something like this, but they could see the determined look in his eyes when he made that bid. Since that was the case, he must have had his reason for making this bid.

…

After that person who had bid against Lin Fan left the crowd, he secretly made his way to the stairs that led to the second floor.

Since everyone was distracted by what was happening at the auction, he was able to smoothly make his way to the second floor before entering one of the VIP rooms.

The person who had been sitting in the center of the room looking over the auction had been staring at Lin Fan's private booth ever since he had made his bid. Even after this person came into the room, he didn't turn away from Lin Fan's booth to look at him.

That person that came in came up to the person who was sitting in the room and after he was behind that person's chair, he immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed to him. After a long silence, he finally said, "Young master Ye, I'm sorry for my incompetence. I was unable to get the item that you wanted."

This man was one of the people that young master Ye had placed in the crowd to make secret bids with.

Seeing that young master Ye didn't say anything, the man didn't dare say a thing.

In fact, he had wanted to make another bid, but he had suddenly received a mental order not to make a second bid. While he was unwilling, he knew better than to disobey these orders.

And since he wasn't able to get the item that young master Ye wanted, he knew that his only option now was to come here and beg for mercy from young master Ye.

He had already heard about what happened to the people who disappointed young master Ye and he had no intention of becoming another body count.

But he wasn't able to say a thing since young master Ye never said a thing.

The servant who had been standing on young master Ye's side glared at this man who was kneeling on the ground before turning to young master Ye to say, "Young master, should we send someone to secure the item that you wanted?"

After hearing this, the man on the ground immediately said, "Young master Ye, I'm willing to personally go and get the item that you wanted. I promise that…"

But before he could finish his words, he felt a chill suddenly fall onto him.

Young master Ye sitting there had finally turned his eyes to look down at this man on the ground, but the look in his eyes was anything but good.

This was a look that was so cold that it could freeze anything that it looked at.

After looking at this man for a bit, young master Ye finally said in a cold voice, "Do I seem like such a petty person? If I can't win an item, then I'll go and hunt down the person who took it from me to steal it back?"

Everyone in the room felt a chill run down their spine when they heard this.

The man on the ground quickly said, "No, no, no, young master Ye, you are a truly great person. It was this lowly one's fault for overstepping my bounds!" As he said this, he kept slamming his head on the ground in a kowtow.

Young master Ye looked at him with those cold eyes for a bit before finally waving his hand and saying, "Scram."

The man on the ground acted like he had just been pardoned as he kowtowed one more time before saying, "Yes, yes, I'll scram now. Thank you, young master Ye."

Without even hesitating a single second, he immediately ran out of the room without even looking back once. It was almost as if he was afraid that if he hesitated for even a single second, he would be dragged back in and executed on the spot.

The room was silent for a few seconds after that person left, but then the servant asked, "Young master, why did you stop him from bidding the second time? I'm certain that we wouldn't have lost in terms of funds."

Young master Ye didn't say anything at first, but then he said in a slow and deep voice, "It's not good to draw too much attention to ourselves at a place like this. The others don't know what we're planning to do, but they do know about the people that we've planted. If we draw too much attention to ourselves just for this one item, it would be detrimental to us."

At this point, the servant knew better than to suggest sending someone to take the item, so he just stood there on the side silently. However, he was surprised to hear what his young master said next.

Young master Ye had turned back to looking at Lin Fan's booth and he said in a bemused voice, "Send someone to find out who the person in the booth is. He feels like someone that I could be interested in."

All the servant could say in response to this was, "Eh?"

But still, he organized everything for his young master.
