Chapter 1776: Shall we increase the stakes?
The old man laughed and said, "Lord Ye is indeed farsighted."
"Indeed, if you pay a higher deposit, you can learn more about the auction items in advance."
"With a deposit of five trillion, you can know 50% of the auction items in advance."
"With a deposit of ten trillion, 70% of the auction items can be known in advance."
"With a deposit of 20 trillion, you can know all the auction items in advance."
The old man added, "But correspondingly, the minimum bidding amount will also increase. For example, a five trillion deposit would require bidding on an item worth at least 500 billion, ten trillion would be one trillion, and twenty trillion would be two trillion."
"This is to ensure the success rate of the auction and prevent people from maliciously paying high deposits but not bidding."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuyun couldn't help but think to herself, "This is practically forced buying and selling..."
But on second thought, the rule is actually quite reasonable.
The authority of the auction will be damaged if everyone pays a large deposit but does not bid.
Moreover, for truly powerful buyers, acquiring treasures worth hundreds of billions is nothing special.
Just then, a sarcastic voice came from the side:
"What, is a trillion-dollar deposit causing you trouble?"
Ye Chuyun turned her head to look.
A young man dressed in a brocade robe and with a jade belt around his waist was seen walking towards them, fanning himself with a folding fan.
He had a handsome face, but there was a hint of frivolity in his eyes. Behind him were seven or eight powerful guards, each of whom was at the peak of the Heavenly Rank.
"It is Young Master Huoyun from the Heavenly Fire Realm."
"The Heavenly Fire Realm is a world of Earth-level power, a truly great force."
"I heard that he is Master Shiyun's nephew, the most favored, and usually arrogant and domineering."
"Master Shiyun has the cultivation of half-step Nirvana. With him as his backer, this Young Master Huoyun always looks down on people. But no one dares to provoke him."
"Does this Young Master Huoyun have some kind of grudge against Ye Chuyun? Why is he attacking her right from the start?"
"Heh, this Young Master Huoyun is notoriously jealous. Doesn't he immediately get jealous when he sees Ye Chuyun, who is more outstanding than him?"
"There are plenty of people more talented than him; it's impossible to be jealous of them all."
"You know what, it's said that this Young Master Huoyun was really jealous of them all, and even compiled a booklet about it."
"Oh My God....."
The crowd whispered.
Young Master Huoyun walked to the registration desk, glanced at Ye Chuyun sideways, and sneered, "So what if you're from a low-level world? Even if you have talent, you still don't have money."
"He hesitated for ages over a few trillion in margin, it's laughable."
As he spoke, he snapped his folding fan shut, took out a storage ring from his pocket, and casually tossed it onto the registration desk.
"Old man, register me. Five trillion in deposit!"
Wow!
The whole place was in an uproar again.
Five trillion!
It's four times more than Ye Chuyun's trillion!
The old man quickly took the storage ring, scanned it with his divine sense to confirm that it was correct, and then a smile spread across his face: "Young Master Huoyun is indeed generous. I will process it for you right away."
Young Master Huoyun proudly raised his head, glancing at Ye Chuyun out of the corner of his eye.
He seemed to be saying: See? This is what a real rich person is like.
His guards behind him also burst into laughter.
"Young master is mighty."
"Someone from a mere low-level world dares to put on airs in Tianxu?"
"You dare to flaunt a trillion? Our young master casually has five trillion!"
The onlookers echoed their sentiments.
"As expected of Young Master Huoyun, he is very generous."
"Although Ye Chuyun is talented, she comes from the New World and is far less wealthy..."
"Let's see how he responds now?"
All eyes turned to Ye Chuyun.
Ye Chuyun seemed not to hear the taunts.
He looked at the old man and asked, "Is it alright if I increase the margin now?"
The old man was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Of course, you can add more at any time."
"Okay." Ye Chuyun nodded, then took out another 40,000 God and Demon Crystal Cards from her storage ring.
Wow!
The crystal cards cascaded onto the registration table like a waterfall, instantly forming a small mountain even larger than before.
Adding to the previous 10,000, there are a total of 50,000 God and Demon Crystal Cards.
Five trillion God and Demon Coins!
"I'll also increase it to five trillion," Ye Chuyun said calmly, then looked at Young Master Huoyun.
"Young master, would you like to add a little more? Five trillion doesn't seem like much."
Young Master Huoyun's face immediately froze.
The guards behind him stopped laughing and stared wide-eyed.
The crowd of onlookers fell completely silent.
No one expected that Ye Chuyun would actually follow along.
And they followed it so easily and casually.
It was as if five trillion God and Demon Coins were really just a small amount to him.
Young Master Huoyun's face turned pale and then red.
He just took out five trillion, which is actually all the liquid funds he can use.
He had to beg Master Shiyun for a long time before he finally got permission to show off at the auction.
Now that Ye Chuyun has followed Wu Zhao, if he doesn't follow, he'll lose face big time.
But if we go ahead with it, what about the money?
Young Master Huoyun gritted his teeth and took out another jade pendant from his bosom.
This was a life-saving item given to him by his mother, containing three protective divine abilities of Nirvana Realm experts, making it priceless.
"This protective jade pendant is worth at least three trillion!" Young Master Huoyun slammed the jade pendant on the table.
"Adding the previous five trillion, that's a total of eight trillion. Ye Chuyun, if you can keep up with me, I'll kneel down and call you grandpa today!"
The crowd stirred again.
"This is a life-saving treasure that can withstand attacks from Nirvana Realm cultivators."
"Young Master Huoyun is really going all out."
"Eight trillion, can Ye Chuyun still keep up?"
All eyes were on Ye Chuyun.
Ye Chuyun smiled.
He shook his head slightly, then took out another 30,000 God and Demon Crystal Cards from his storage ring.
When the 30,000 Divine Demon Crystal Cards were piled up on the registration table again, the entire place fell silent.
Thirty thousand God and Demon Crystal Cards, worth three trillion.
Adding to the previous five megabytes of crystal cards, the total is eight megabytes.
"How about it, can we increase the stakes?" Ye Chuyun looked at him with a half-smile.
"You...you..." Young Master Huoyun pointed at Ye Chuyun, his fingers trembling.
His face was as pale as paper, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Eight trillion is his limit.
No, it should be said that eight trillion has already exceeded his limit.
That protective jade pendant was a life-saving item given to him by his mother. If he were to use it to pay off a debt, he would be scolded to death when he got back.
But now the arrow is on the string and must be fired.
If he backs down, how will he survive in Tianxu?
Just as Young Master Huoyun was caught in a dilemma, a hearty laugh came from outside the crowd.
"Brother Huoyun, why are you getting into a fight with someone here?"
The crowd parted, and a young man in a blue robe walked slowly towards them.
He was playing with a white jade abacus in his hand, the beads clinking together with a crisp sound.
