Chapter 375 Harpy Girl
Chapter 375 Harpy Girl
"As you can see, this harpy girl has a stunning appearance; she's a beautiful and pitiful creature. Moreover, she's a harpy-type card spirit used by one of the legendary saviors. Best of all, her attack power is only 500 points. If you'd like to try a more brutal role-playing style, you can have a lot of fun with her."
Juxiang smiled and opened her palm, pointing to the harpy-like girl in the cage; her gaze was fixed on an item being appraised.
The harpy-like girl cowered in a corner of the cage, terrified.
"Distinguished guests, please rest assured that all staff members at Bai Xiang Ge are women. Therefore, this harpy girl has never been touched by a man. Moreover, we promise that all our female merchandise consists of pure and flawless virgins."
Upon hearing Juxiang's words, the perverts in the audience let out excited and sinister laughter.
"As you all know, Kalings are generally very stubborn, especially the female Kalings. When they feel their chastity is threatened, they will decisively choose to self-destruct."
"So we went to great lengths to capture them, and the prices were correspondingly high. The first item up for auction, the harpy girl, has a starting price of 100 million yuan, bidding rules 258, with no upper limit!"
"One million yuan? That's a bit high," muttered a man wearing an elephant-head mask.
"What is 258?" Lingyi quietly asked Dixing beside her.
“An unbalanced bidding rule,” Di Xing whispered to Ling Yi. “Taking 100 million as an example, the next bid would be 120 million, then 150 million, then 180 million, and then 200 million.”
"That complicated?"
"There are many intricacies involved in auctions; it's not something just anyone can do. For example, this bidding ladder system incentivizes bidders by setting different costs for each stage of the bidding process."
"This is only a two-star normal monster after all. It's not worth spending 50 to buy it," Di Xing and his companion overheard the horse-headed man say to the deer-headed man beside him.
"But her attack power is only 500 points, even without orders, she can force it, hehe," the deer-headed man chuckled lewdly.
“But precisely because of this, she’s easy to ruin,” the horse-headed man still hesitated.
"That's true, but I can afford 120 million."
So the deer-headed man decisively raised the sign in his hand.
Juxiang said happily, "Mr. Lu has offered 120 million yuan. Does anyone else want to bid?"
A man wearing a crocodile-head mask held up a sign.
"150 million! Mr. Big Spender offers 150 million."
"Damn it, you're trying to take it from me?" the deer-headed man roared, immediately raising his sign.
"180 million! Oh!? 200 million!" Seeing the crocodile-headed man immediately raise his sign, Juxiang shouted excitedly.
"Damn it!" the deer-headed man cursed, preparing to raise his sign again, but the horse-headed man beside him quickly grabbed his hand.
"Are you crazy? That normal monster isn't worth that much money at all!"
"What's so special about it? The bid is only 20 more now, it's a steal!" The deer-headed man shook off the horse-headed man's hand and abruptly raised his bidding paddle.
"220 million! Mr. Lu has bid 220 million! Anyone else want to bid? Anyone else want to bid?" Juxiang asked excitedly.
"220 million once! 220 million twice!"
"2.2 million...2.5 million! Mr. Rat bids 2.5 million!"
"What?!" Mr. Deer, who had thought he was sure he could win, slammed his fist on his leg in dejection.
“还有没有人要出价?如果没人出价的话这个娇俏可人的卡灵就要归鼠先生所有了哦!250万一次,250万2次...280万!天啊,陆先生出价280万!”
The deer-headed man finally couldn't resist raising his card again.
Watching the heated scene at the auction, the harpy girl in the cage was terrified and on the verge of tears. The crowd below looked at her with the eyes of predators, as if they wanted to pounce on her and tear her apart. She could only try to hide her head in her knees, seeking a tiny bit of reassurance.
Just then, Di Xing calmly raised the sign.
"Oh? A new customer, Mr. White Bone, recommended by Mr. Clown? Mr. White Bone offered 300 million!"
However, Di Xing shook his head and pointed to his own sign again.
Juxiang leaned forward, straining to see the numbers on the sign.
The sign was slightly larger than usual, with the words "500 million" written in large letters at the top!
Juxiang gasped, but she forced herself to remain calm and said...
"Mr. White Bone, this doesn't conform to the bidding rules."
Di Xing raised his sign again, which read, "What does it matter? Anyway, this bidding increment won't go over 500 million."
Then he raised the sign again: "I'm saving everyone's time."
Juxiang was the auctioneer and also a cadre, possessing the authority to make on-the-spot decisions. Although Di Xing's move was irregular, it instantly raised the auction price to 200 million, leaving her with no reason to refuse.
Then she smiled sweetly and said, "Since this is Mr. White Bone's first time attending our auction, we'll grant you some special privileges. This is a one-time exception, okay?"
After saying that, she even winked at Di Xing.
Then Lingyi, who was next to Di Xing, immediately became unhappy and pinched Di Xing's thigh hard.
Di Xing winced in pain behind his mask, inwardly cursing: "Damn it, we only met today, why are you already jealous?"
"However," Juxiang said with a smile, "500 million is no small sum. This is your first time attending an auction. Would you mind showing us your ability to pay?"
Di Xing calmly took out a black card, and immediately a maid came over with a card reader, respectfully took the black card, and swiped it on the machine.
Then the maid's eyes widened immediately, "Two...two hundred million!?"
All the beast masks present cast surprised glances at Di Xing.
Di Xing's face beneath the mask was filled with smugness. Although one hundred million of the two hundred million was his chamber of commerce's registered capital and couldn't be used, it was perfect for showing off.
Furthermore, he certainly didn't dare deposit his money in the Leppard family's bank, but instead deposited it in a reliable independent bank that Ai Xiao had recommended to him.
The maid hurriedly handed the black card back to Di Xing.
Juxiang hurriedly bowed to Di Xing, "I apologize, Mr. White Bone, but this is Juxiang's duty, so I apologize for any offense."
Di Xing then held up another sign that read, "It's alright."
Seeing that Di Xing remained silent and instead used a sign to convey his message, Ju Xiang clicked her tongue inwardly: What a strange person, but at least he's a rich strange person.
The reason Di Xing didn't speak was because he sensed a familiar scent here.
He'd smelled this just today—it smelled like he'd fallen into a pile of hamburgers—and yet he'd run into people from the Duel Academy here!
