Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1424 - 1223: Playing Dumb to Outsmart the Wise? (Part 2)

However, precisely because of such a reason, everyone looked at the person next to them with hostility, fearing the other would make a move.

Of course, when some relatively wealthy people saw those super business tycoons, their hearts immediately sank halfway.

Finished, how could people like us be a match for them? But they still held a glimmer of hope, fantasizing that they could stake their entire fortunes to compete,

while the other party wouldn’t dare to put forth their entire wealth; they might even be reluctant to put out too much money, lest it affects their business?

Thinking of this, everyone started getting eager. Thus, after the man in black took out his phone and connected with Lin Yi, there was no need for much introduction; it directly drove everyone mad.

They are now as though injected with adrenaline, each waiting eagerly for the bidding to start immediately, and soon after, they didn’t have to wait long, the man in black spoke up.

"Presumably, by now, everyone has seen the magical features of this phone; that’s right, this thing is truly amazing, capable of seeing and hearing over long distances,

even from a thousand miles away, you can speak and see the other party. Such a marvel is hard to come by, I assume Zhong Weirui already has a mental estimate, right?

Alright, now, let’s begin the auction.

Let me first say, the starting price for this phone is one silver, now everyone can bid, each increment must not be less than one silver."

As his words fell, the venue instantly went crazy, initially plunging into a terrifying silence, followed by an explosion. No one expected the starting price to be merely one silver,

how could they not be shocked? They knew the value of this item; everyone was aware, and each had a suitable price in mind, at least from past sessions, but the starting price of just one silver made them feel like dreaming, somewhat unreal?

This was because they’d never participated in such a form of auction, making them momentarily unable to accept it, thinking they might seize a great deal.

In short, upon hearing the starting price of one silver, their hearts were all undoubtedly shocked, flashing immensely.

One might say, initially they fantasized if it were possible to acquire this item for one silver, what a situation that would be?

Absolute bliss.

But after a moment of quiet, as a voice emerged, it suddenly brought them back to reality, where someone suddenly shouted from the crowd, "I bid one silver."

As soon as this voice sounded, everyone turned to look at him. Upon seeing this was just an ordinary clothed peddler,

all at once, everyone displayed disdainful expressions, looking at him like a fool, thinking, good for you, daring to bid one silver, essentially mocking him, so the second person spoke up,

and the price he shouted was even more surprising – this guy simply added one silver, bidding directly two silvers, and the bidder was none other than another peddler beside him.

This instantaneously resonated with them, indeed, while these tycoons were calculating internally, these fellows began bidding first.

The reason being they saw a glimmer of hope, with such a low starting price, it meant everyone had a chance, making them particularly excited while bidding during the winter holidays, also silently hoping others wouldn’t bid further, hoping they could acquire this thing with just a few silvers,

however, such anticipation was soon interrupted by a tycoon’s bid. As prices rose silver by silver, when it reached fifteen silvers, a mismatched voice suddenly rang throughout the venue, causing the snatch to instantly plunge back into silence.

This person was indeed a tycoon sitting on the second floor.

Openly bidding a price that made the peddlers below despair.

"I bid five thousand silvers."

Though just a few simple words, this voice instantly silenced the scene, everyone looked at each other, unable to resist drawing a sharp breath,

especially those fiercely competing peddlers below, who jumped in fright upon hearing this, with their eyelids involuntarily twitching,

good heavens, these truly wealthy people, thinking they wouldn’t bid, didn’t expect they were waiting for this moment to act,

and the price directly soared from over ten silvers to five thousand silvers, such a price gap was simply too great, or rather absolutely beyond their expectations,

soon they recovered from the shock, understanding that not only them but the tycoons below saw the marvel of this item, the topmost super tycoons also observed it. Who wouldn’t desire such a fantastic item?

Therefore, how could it be transacted at merely tens of silvers? Upon realizing this, they felt relieved, albeit still regrettable and unwilling, yet more so desiring to see how high the item’s final price would be.

Definitely, with such thoughts, these peddlers now hoped for the price to fly high, even to astronomical levels,

because in everyone’s heart, there lay a small idea, since they couldn’t have it, others shouldn’t easily obtain it either, at the very least, let them pay a hefty price.

Thinking of this, the onlooking peddlers began involuntarily to fuel the auction, and right after the five thousand silvers shout, in a quiet venue, the first winter holiday peddler came to his senses, surprisingly gathering courage from somewhere, boldly extending his hand and shouting into the crowd.

"I bid ten thousand silvers."

As these words fell, everyone’s gaze instantly turned towards him, upon realizing he was a small trader, they couldn’t help but be astonished, this guy, a mere trader, could really have so much money?

How could it be possible? Does he really have ten thousand silvers? Even selling all his assets wouldn’t be worth that much, would it?

Does he even know how much ten thousand silvers are? Such a figure is astronomical, but regardless, the opposing party announced such a price, thus, the people in the venue couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath once more; of course, this was because they were all unfamiliar with what a shill is.

Precisely due to this, with such a price announced, the people in the venue thought the peddler was exaggerating, imagining he has a massive fortune, just mingling amidst the low-tier crowd.

Upon realizing this, the tycoons became anxious, their eyes slowly turning red, hearts growing restless, thinking they must prevent this item from falling into others’ hands.

Upon recognizing this, they quickly started raising their hands to bid, and the price soared, soon reaching twelve thousand silvers.

That’s twelve thousand silvers, an amount adequate to sustain the livelihood of citizens for generations without exhaustion.
