The auction for a miraculous phone begins with an astonishingly low starting bid of one silver. Initially, small vendors engage in a bidding war, but a tycoon's sudden bid of five thousand silvers shocks the crowd. A seemingly ordinary trader then makes an even more audacious bid of ten thousand silvers, escalating the tension as the tycoons prepare to outbid each other.

Chapter 1425: Chapter 1224: Royal Bank

But now this high price of twelve thousand taels was called out directly, how could it not shock the crowd around?

Even though everyone around was a wealthy person, they could not help but feel shaken and excited.

There’s no way around it, this amount of money is just too much. As soon as it was spoken, it immediately dismissed the group below, and they dared not speak up, nor had the courage to do so again.

After all, their combined wealth wasn’t even ten thousand taels.

Let alone taking all that money out to buy a mobile phone.

To put it in a non-exaggerated way, if the price of ten thousand taels were put in a later age, it would be a sum close to ten million. How could such a price not awe people?

It’s not just any parent who could afford this. Anyone who hears it would be moved.

And now, calling it out so casually, as if money were not money, would be understandable if it were for purchasing a property, but right now buying a mobile phone is somewhat shocking.

Of course, in their eyes, this phone is far more powerful than real estate. This is the artifact of the Immortal, able to achieve omnipresent hearing, how could ordinary houses compare?

Yet, they were still astounded. The moment the voice was heard, the place fell into a silence.

Of course, this silence only lasted a short time before being broken by another voice from a private room on the second floor, shouting not long after.

I bid fifteen thousand taels. This made the people below gasp instantly. Really? Just now, twelve thousand taels was already quite a lot, yet suddenly fifteen thousand taels sprung out, without giving them time to react. How could this not shock people?

But that gasp of shock hadn’t finished when another voice sounded again, steadily calling out a bid of eighteen thousand taels.

And in the time following, before everyone could react, voices successively called out, shooting the price from twelve thousand taels up to a sky-high price of fifty thousand taels.

Goodness! This is fifty thousand taels, a full fifty thousand taels, even when purchasing property before, several thousand taels would suffice. But now they bid ten thousand taels. It’s due to their different social statuses.

The wealthy who previously bought those properties were just small fortunes, but now, these are the true big tycoons.

The reason they hadn’t bought the properties at the time was because they were waiting, waiting for the better ones to sell, not those distributed to the commoners.

However, this item is different; it’s genuinely good stuff, and they absolutely have no reason to let it go.

That’s why they immediately began to bid, and the competition among these big players is incomparable to ordinary people, with bids of tens of thousands of taels right from the start!

Soon the sky-high price reached fifty thousand taels, and this wasn’t the end, just a slowing of the bidding speed. Moreover, each new bid wasn’t less than a thousand taels, which left the crowd below feeling deeply powerless, especially since at the start they were bidding vigorously, with a thousand taels being a limit.

Initially, they added ten taels each time, or even more. Adding a hundred taels gave them a sense of pride, even a feeling of being unrivaled.

But now they understand what it means to be ants. In front of these big figures, their wealth is even less than ants, and this deeply struck them.

Of course, despite being struck, a thought rose in their hearts: keep raising it, don’t let the price stop, why is no one bidding anymore?

Quickly continue to shout out, the higher, the better.

If the price reaches a hundred thousand taels, that would be best. At least you can’t get the item, but neither should anyone else get it easily.

Soon the prices continued to be bid up, quickly reaching one hundred thousand taels. Once this high price was called out by a wealthy person, an immediate silence fell over the place, with no one else speaking, only sounds of gasps.

Obviously, this price had reached its peak, and these people dared not bid again, or they simply didn’t think the price could go any higher.

It would be something they could accept. In short, now only one wealthy man with a large belly remained standing there, showing a pleased smile, as if he had predicted that the mobile phone would be his in the next moment.

He was even thinking in his mind that this time he might have the chance to talk to His Majesty, how could this not make him excited, feel awed?

However, just when everyone thought the mobile phone had found an owner, when all eyes were on the pavilion, suddenly a voice arose from the crowd below, and it was not someone else, but the very person who had first bid, who now shouted at the top of his lungs.
