Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?
Chapter 202 - Ten Million

After all, if one were to bid for the item, one would have to pay in person. It was indeed not worth it to spend nearly ¥10,000,000 on a piece of incomplete equipment and also to involve the Qin family's lack of funds in the future.

"Alright..."

The young man could only sigh dejectedly after getting a clear rejection from his grandfather.

The other party had raised the bid by such a large amount in one go, clearly wanting to take the boots for himself. Furthermore, he was being such a hothead.

Even if the young man increased the price by another ¥100,000, he might not be able to obtain the item.

When the crowd in the auction hall saw that the youth from the Qin family no longer spoke, they immediately understood that He Run would probably be the final winner in the bid.

Even first-class families had to deal with this seriously since large families did not necessarily have too much money to spare. Most of their money would go into cash flow and be used for the expansion of the family business.

Therefore, everyone was sure that He Run would have the last laugh.

As for the mysterious young man, he had been eliminated in advance and could no longer do anything.

"Click, tick... tick."

There were only 30 seconds left for the auction of the Amethyst Boots and only 10 seconds left before the bidding would stop.

The entire auction hall had quieted down, and everyone's eyes were on He Run.

His tensed heart immediately relaxed because he knew that these once Legendary-grade Amethyst Boots would soon be his.

He had the last laugh in this bidding!

However, just as he was fantasizing about what it would feel like to wear these shoes, which were once Legendary equipment, a familiar voice that was as clear as a stream rang out in the auction hall.

"Fortunately, the final price is within my expectations. I... bid ¥10,000,000!"

Wu Mo raised his head, revealing bright and determined eyes. There was even the ghost of a smile at the corner of his mouth. He sounded as if he was talking about something insignificant.

The scene made the audience in the auction hall widen their eyes in disbelief. They stared at the young man who was sitting in their midst with confidence.

"Ten million?"

"Ten million!!"

It was a number that most of the people present could wrap their heads around.

Even the boss of the company, or a first-class blacksmith family, would replace it difficult to gather such a large sum of money in a short time.

However, the young man sitting in the middle of the third row had directly uttered such an unfamiliar number.

There was the six-star blacksmith elder in cotton clothes and the Qin family's core member, Qin Yue, the representatives sitting beside him, He Run, and Elder Yao Shan who was standing on the stage.

At this moment, their mouths were slightly agape as they stared at Wu Mo in disbelief.

The expression in his eyes seemed to be saying,"...I didn't hear you clearly. Can you say that again?"

Clack.

The clock on the platform entered the last 25 seconds of the countdown. Right then, He Run suddenly snapped out of horror.

His face turned purple, and he looked at Wu Mo as if he had seen a ghost!

He never expected someone to bid ¥500,000 higher than his highest price.

His feelings of happiness and pride had disappeared without a trace, leaving only shock and fear.

"Three seconds to the end of the Amethyst Boots' auction, two seconds..."

Elder Yao Shan, who was on the stage, also reacted. He looked at the timer, which was about to stop, and immediately gave them a friendly reminder.

Now, it was not that He Run did not want to bid, but he had completely lost the will to compete.

The ¥500,000 that Wu Mo threw out at the end was the last straw that broke his back. It magnified the panic and uneasiness hidden in the depths of his heart.

In the end, he could no longer remain calm.

Kringggg!

The long ringing of a bell resounded, signaling the end of the bidding.

The people who had been in shock returned to their senses at the same time.

"F*ck, could this person be the mayor's son? He actually has the guts to bid ¥10,000,000. This is simply unbelievable!"

"It's preposterous. I thought He Run would have the last laugh. I didn't expect it to be the young man who bought the graphite powder."

"I must be going crazy. Epic equipment being sold for such a high price? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Who would have thought that the young man would have the last laugh? The He and Qin families are certainly feeling somewhat ashamed."

The crowd was so shocked by the scene that they almost jumped up.

He Run, who had been enjoying the crowd's attention, was now a little embarrassed.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his facial features became distorted, and his expression indicated that he was even more unwilling to give up.

If he had lost to the Qin family under such circumstances, he would have still found it acceptable. After all, the Qin family was the head of the three great blacksmith families, and their financial resources were even more robust.

However, he could not accept losing to a young man in his early 20s.

"Ten million going once, going twice..."

Elder Yao Shan was also incredibly excited while standing on the stage.

"Alright, congratulations to the young man for winning the Epic-grade Amethyst Boots for ¥10,000,000. Let's give him a round of applause!"

Since the outcome had already been decided, Yao Shan did not wait for time to be up before he announced the winner.

Then, the most beautiful maid standing behind the elder took the gift box with the boots and walked straight to Wu Mo.

Another person walked over with a card-swiping machine in hand.

Everyone's eyes followed the beautiful maidens before they finally turned to Wu Mo.

He Run stared at Wu Mo too, wanting to see if he could produce that much money.

Although the consequences of placing a false bid in the building were very serious, He Run still grabbed onto this life-saving straw. He felt that the young man might not be able to produce so much money.

If that happened, the item would go to the second-highest bidder according to the rules of the auction.

Some of the other audience members in the auction hall also had the same intention. They felt that the young man was too young and could not produce so much money.

After all, he had already spent ¥4,600,000. No amount of wealth could allow him to spend that much!

"Sir, please appraise the equipment before you make the payment," the beautiful maid standing at the side gently said in Wu Mo's ear.

Hearing her melodious voice, Wu Mo's move instantly improved. But compared with the others who inadvertently revealed lecherous expressions, he was a better gentleman.

"No problem," he said.

Wu Mo took the gift box and used the system's appraisal function again. Once he determined that the attributes and value were the same, he immediately stored it in his Interspatial Ring.

There was a limit to what the human eye could see, and even the best appraiser was not as reliable as the system.

Wu Mo took out a private bank card from Shanglin City and the maidservant beside him accepted it instantly.

Then, Wu Mo entered the password in front of everyone.

Di di di di zi...

A green light flashed on the card reader, and it swiftly printed out a white ticket.
