With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods
Chapter 74 Auction (2)

Everyone was surprised to hear this voice coming from the second floor.

However, Mei Mei was the first one to recover as she said, "We've just received a bid for two thousand gold coins for this Fire Python King beast core. Is there anyone else that wants to make another bid?" As she said this, she also looked at the person who had been the previous top bidder.

This previous top bidder didn't look at her, nor did he look up at the second floor where this voice came from. This person just lowered their head after being stunned by this voice that suddenly came from the second floor, as if he was scared of drawing attention.

Mei Mei naturally knew the reason for this, so she didn't waste any time to finish her three counts and sell this item to the person on the second floor.

After all, it was very unlikely that there would be anyone else who would bid after a bid came from the second floor.

…

In a VIP room on the second floor.

There was a cute girl who leaned against the arm of the young man sitting on the couch who asked, "Why are you wasting money on something like this? If you really want it, you can just get some mercenaries to replace one for you or replace a cheaper one through the Merchants Guild."

The young man gave a shrug before saying, "We're already here, so why not?" Then after narrowing his eyes, he added, "I can sense something special from this beast core, so perhaps it'll be something special."

The cute girl looked down at the Fire Python King beast core on stage and couldn't help knitting her brows as she said, "I don't feel anything special from it at all."

The young man patted the cute girl on the head before saying, "Don't worry about it, most people won't be able to sense it."

The cute girl pouted her lips when she heard this and just sulked for a bit before saying in a more serious voice, "Don't forget what we're here to do. If you waste all our money like this and don't get the thing that dad wants, don't blame me if he punishes you."

The young man just said with a relaxed smile, "Our Yao Yao is the cutest."

The cute girl couldn't keep the angry look on her face anymore after hearing this. She gave a soft snort before turning her head while a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. She also muttered to herself, "You only have that sweet mouth of yours."

The young man just looked at her with the same smile.

After a while, the cute girl suddenly leaned in closer and allowed herself to rest there in his embrace.

It was at the same time that there was a knock on the door before one of the servants opened it to reveal a staff member who carried a box over.

The staff member took a step in before kneeling down and presenting the box while saying, "Young master Sheng, here is the item that you bought."

The young man who had been called young master Sheng just waved his hand at this staff member without answering this. The staff member handed the item to the servant who had been on the side.

As for the money for this item, naturally they didn't dare ask them for it, but there was no need since all of these VIPs had their own way of paying for the items. After all, their families had businesses with the One Martial Chamber of Commerce, so they could take care of matters like money directly.

After the staff member left, young master Sheng suddenly knitted his brows before waving his hand at one of the servants on the side.

The servant immediately came forward, falling onto one knee behind him as he asked, "Young master, what is your command?"

Young master Sheng didn't even bother looking at this servant as he asked, "Where is my package? It still hasn't arrived yet?"

When the servant heard this, he couldn't help trembling. However, he still said, "There was a problem that happened during the transport and we are still currently investigating this matter. Young master, if you just give us a bit of time, we will…"

Before he could finish, young master Sheng had already raised his hand to cut him off before he said, "I don't care what problems you are facing, I've already ordered this item over two months ago." Then his voice turned cold as he said, "I'll give you a week and if you can't take care of it by then, I'll take your daughter as recompense."

The servant immediately looked up when he heard this and he said in a trembling voice, "Young master Sheng, a week is just too short. Please, just give us another month, I promise that we'll replace your package."

Young master Sheng gave a cold snort before saying, "Am I the young master or are you the young master? A week, that is all."

The servant was about to say something else, but young master Sheng waved his hand and said, "Get him out of my sight."

The guards on the side came over to take the servant away, making sure to cover his mouth so he didn't disturb young master Sheng. However, there was a look of despair in his eyes since he knew that he wouldn't be able to accomplish the task that young master Sheng gave him in time…

As for young master Sheng himself, he just picked up some grapes from the side and started feeding the cute girl in his embrace as he said, "Yao Yao, are they good."

The cute girl just gave a nod as she ate more of the grapes he fed her.

For the two of them, it was as if that servant had never existed…

…

The auction atmosphere became a bit cold when the bid from the second floor came for the first item. After all, the people that were on the second floor were all people with special identities, so if they were going to compete with the first floor bidders for the normal items, there was no chance for the first floor bidders to get anything.

However, after the first item, there wasn't another bid that came from the second floor.

There were several more items that were brought out, but there were only a few that caught Lin Fan's attention.

After several dozen items, all he bought were a few pills that would help with his cultivation and a special rock that could help gather spiritual energy.

Of course, even with how common these items were, they were still quite expensive.

Tian Tian had told Lin Fan to prepare around five thousand gold coins, but because of Yue Lan's store, Lin Fan was able to prepare double that amount, so he had plenty of money to use.

Still, even with that much money, he was only able to buy these few items, leaving around a thousand gold coins for himself.

There wasn't much else left in the auction for him as far as Lin Fan could tell. He had even seen a few people on the first floor standing up to leave.

It was clear that the auction for the normal people was about to end. What would follow next should be the auction for the people on the second floor.

Since that was the case, it was better if he didn't stay.

However, before he could leave, there was something else that caught his attention.

Mei Mei started out as normal, but when it came to introducing the product, her voice couldn't help becoming a bit hesitant as she said, "The next item that we have up for auction is a bit…special."

With a nod to the staff member on the side, the item was brought up to the stage.

Based on the size of the cart that was used to bring up the item, it clearly wasn't that large of an item. Then when it was brought to the center of the stage, Mei Mei lifted it up to reveal what the item was.

Everyone was surprised by this since this was something that they didn't expect.

In the center of the pillow that the item was placed on, there was a tiny seed.

It wasn't anything special since it didn't release any spiritual energy and there was nothing special about its appearance. No matter how one looked at it, this was nothing more than an ordinary seed.

Why would the One Martial Chamber of Commerce auction off something like this?

This just didn't make sense at all.

Even when Mei Mei introduced this item, there wasn't much that she was able to say about it since there wasn't much information that she had received.

Mei Mei looked at the seed and then introduced it with a smile, "This is a mysterious seed that was discovered by the appraisers of the One Martial Chamber of Commerce. It is a seed that contains an unknown plant…but the appraisers of the One Martial Chamber of Commerce are certain that this isn't an ordinary plant."

This was all she could say, but it was better than the description that she was given which just said "mysterious plant seed".

Of course, no one in the crowd was fooled by this.

Even though this seed was unlike anything that they had seen before, they knew that it wouldn't be anything special. These were just empty words that were being said by the One Martial Chamber of Commerce to try and sell this seed.

But there was someone that had been stunned the moment that they saw the seed.
