Luo Chen did not need to worry about his cultivation resources.
“So, a divine pet egg will be auctioned at the auction house?” Luo Chen asked casually.
He could duplicate the pet egg with his powers, but not the soul contained within the egg. It would just hatch into a dead embryo. Therefore, the only way that Luo Chen could get the divine pet egg was by duplicating money and winning the auction.
“How did you know? Who told you? Five pet eggs will be auctioned this time, but I don’t know the eggs’ grades. It depends on your luck. If it’s a divine pet egg, it probably has already been sent to the imperial capital.”
Zhao Ling Er smiled.
“What?”
Luo Chen was stunned for a moment. There was no way to know the grade of an egg visually. He quickly searched through the black-clothed man’s memories again. Apparently, one of his allies had entered the auction and won the bidding for an egg. However, the bonding was unsuccessful and he suffered a backlash before dying.
His ally was already at king-level. Logically, that meant it was a divine pet egg.
Once he had died, the pet egg was immediately returned to the auction house.
The black-clothed man had no more funds to bid for the pet egg again. That was why he decided to kidnap Zhao Ling Er for ransom money.
“I see. Take me to your warehouse.”
Luo Chen planned to duplicate the items in the Wan Long Chamber of Commerce’s treasury.
“Do you need money?”
Zhao Ling Er thought that Luo Chen’s goal was to exchange the treasures for money.
…
Sky Fire Auction House.
There was a sea of people and it was really chaotic. Rich and poor people were present. Even if some of them were not bidding, this was a good way to kill time.
The poor people stood at the back, while the rich people had their own private rooms. Most of the items being auctioned actually belonged to the rich people.
Luo Chen looked at the door of the auction house and was shocked. It was huge.
“Follow me. Our family has a private room in the Sky Fire Auction House!”
Zhao Ling Er informed Luo Chen and took the lead.
They went to the second floor. There were more than thirty private rooms.
As Luo Chen stepped into the private room, a gong sounded, indicating that the auction started. It seemed that they had arrived right on time.
A person dressed in green stood at the center of the auction stage. Next to him was a sexy woman holding a jade plate. The jade plate was covered by a black cloth and beneath it was the item that was going to be auctioned.
The man in green explained the auction process.
When the black cloth was lifted, everyone began to shout loudly.
The first item was a long sword. Its blade emitted a purple light and attracted everyone’s attention.
“A level 31 laser sword! It will definitely surprise your opponent during battle! Now, the bidding starts at 1,000 gold coins!”
“1,010 gold coins!”
“1,020 gold coins!”
“1,030 gold coins!”
…
Each person shouted louder than the other. The hall was extremely noisy. Some people’s voices were drowned out. In fact, no one knew who was calling out the price. When the bidding reached 4,000 gold coins, it finally became quieter, making it more obvious who placed the bid. The speed of the bids also gradually declined. There were a few times when the action was about to be finalized before someone bid a higher price. In the end, the laser sword was sold for 4,500 gold coins.
After the laser sword was auctioned off, another item covered in black cloth was brought out. Luo Chen felt really nervous.
“The second item is a pet egg. It’s very likely to be a high-grade egg or even divine if you’re lucky! Bidding starts from 3,000 gold coins!”
The auctioneer announced excitedly.
“30,000 gold coins!”
Just as the auctioneer finished speaking, a voice could be heard coming from upstairs. Everyone below was speechless.
Shortly after, chaos ensued.
“Who is it?”
“Must be an idiot. Ten times the price? Really?”
“I think the voice came from the Wan Long Chamber of Commerce’s room.”
The people below chattered non-stop. Zhao Ling Er’s face instantly turned red. She could hear everything the people were saying.
“Hey, why are you just standing there?”
Luo Chen urged the auctioneer.
“Oh! I’m sorry!”
The auctioneer counted to three. Then, he shouted cheerfully, “The pet egg is sold for 30,000 gold coins!”
“Moving on to the third item!”
Similar to before, an item covered in black cloth was brought up to the stage. Coincidentally, it was also a pet egg.
“30,000 gold coins!”
Luo Chen shouted almost immediately. Based on what Zhao Ling Er said, there would be a total of five pet eggs at this auction. Needless to say, Luo Chen had planned to bid for all of them.
“Not again!”
“Is he ever going to run out of money?”
“Of course he would!”
Luo Chen’s bid caused another commotion. The people below had never seen such a wealthy person.
“Going once, twice, and it’s sold!”
Everyone looked in Luo Chen’s direction. The auctioneer noticed that the pet eggs were fetching a high price, so he ordered the next one to be brought out.
However, this time, the first bidder was not Luo Chen.
“4,000 gold coins. I’m the second son of the governor of Sky Fire City. Sell it to me.”
“30,000 gold coins!”
If it was anything else, Luo Chen would not have caused such a ruckus. He could not let anyone else obtain the divine pet, not even the city governor’s son.
“Tsk!”
The audience below instantly fell silent. Something was definitely about to happen.
“Fine! 31,000 gold coins!”
The young city governor’s son refused to back down.
“40,000 gold coins!”
Luo Chen shouted without even thinking.
Money meant nothing to him since he could just duplicate them.
“41,000 gold coins!”
“80,000 gold coins!”
“80,000 gold coins?!”
“Master… we don’t have enough money to compete!” said an old man.
“D*mn him!”
The city governor’s son was embarrassed. He roared, “Zhao Ling Er, I can’t believe you gave that country bumpkin so much money. I’m going to have a word with your father..”
