Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

At this point, Su Lei could only sigh. “This is all I can do for you!” He then resolutely held the hammer and continued, “2,600,000 going once. 2,600,000 going twice. 2,600,000 going thrice!” The hammer finally went down. “Deal!”

2,600,000, that was 2,600,000! Had it been a normal person, 2,600,000 would have been enough to spend for multiple lifetimes, and there would probably still be some left over. Even for a rich family, it would also have been enough for a lavish two to three generations.

But the words had already been said. In front of so many people, he could only hold it in!

Unfortunately, he did not dare to exact vengeance. If Hong Dali withdrew again due to whatever reason, he would have had to commit suicide!

Liu Mingxin, who was at the side, couldn’t help but shake his head. That Hong Dali was too unpredictable. Simply playing around was fine, but he shouldn’t go too far. Had Hong Anbao not charged ahead in front, Liu Mingxin felt that he would have been the depressed one—who would have thought that Hong Dali would withdraw due to that reason?

Tang Muxin laughed till her abs almost materialized with her eyes squinted in the shape of a crescent moon. Li Nianwei at the side also couldn’t help but chuckle. Whoever wanted to cheat Young Master Dali would be akin to jumping off a cliff. Young Master Dali would even give a hard kick from behind to help with the fall.

“Speaking of which, playing with blades and swords is indeed not a thing for a prodigal like me. Lucky I didn’t get it.” Hong Dali beamed with delight.

Meanwhile, at the front, Hong Anbao seemed like he was about to spew blood.

The next item up for auction, which was the second highlight of the auction, was a secret piece of jewelry.

“The next item up for auction is a piece of jewelry from the Tang Dynasty.” Su Lei once again activated his eloquent tongue, but this time, he learned first to introduce the item. “This piece of jewelry is oriental and valuable. Both its workmanship and material quality are considered top notch. Its name is the Dark Gold Earring!”

At this time, the attendant who was by the side carried a wooden tray forth, on top of which also lay a piece of red cloth.

“Everybody, please take a look!” Su Lei was about to unveil the red cloth when Hong Dali directly shouted, “500,000!”

What the heck, not again! Since this had already happened once, this time Su Lei was quick to respond and immediately unveiled the red cloth. “The Dark Gold Earring’s starting bid is 150,000, but Young Master Hong Dali already bid 500,000. Does anyone else want to bid?”

This earring looked decent indeed, and its actual price was at about 800,000. Hence, this time, many people cooperated and bid.

“600,000!”

“700,000!”

“800,000!”

Liu Mingxin was about to raise his sign and bid 1,000,000 when Hong Dali resolutely bid: “1,200,000!”

Liu Mingxin helplessly shook his head and put his sign down.

The crowd started to give up—God knows whether Young Master Hong Dali wanted that item or not…

The final result was clear without any doubt. This set of Dark Gold Earrings was sold to Hong Dali at the high price of 1,200,000 yuan.

“Dali, why did you buy the earrings? You can’t wear them anyway.” As the auction for this item ended, Tang Muxin half curiously, half intentionally probed.

Hong Dali sniffled and said, “Didn’t you hear the name of these earrings? It’s Dark Gold, Dark Gold! This is definitely something valuable. When I’m on my game, those Dark Gold equipment stats are really strong. There’s a saying, Dark Gold quality items are trustworthy.”

Tang Muxin immediately collapsed in laughter. They both had already planned to squander big time even before they came. This Hong Dali was really talented at doing so…

Having said that, Hong Dali immediately turned around and asked Li Nianwei, “Sister Nianwei, I noticed that you still don’t have earrings. Here, these earrings are for you. Hehe, Dark Gold equipment are precious, they’ve quite a few additional stats!”

Li Nianwei gently smiled and replied, “Alright.”

Her goddess-like smile instantly charmed all the guys nearby.

Liu Mingxin covered his face. I treated Hong Dali as a rival. But… forget it, take it that I was wrong. Next time we’ll just let this clown squander as he deems fit. Pitting against him will only reduce my own intelligence.

Although Hong Anbao had lost 2,600,000, at this moment, he didn’t feel so depressed and instead thought, This prodigal, fine, let him squander big time. I assume that those old fogeys in the family will not simply let him squander his family’s entire assets away. It would be good if I can get even 10% of his family’s assets. Having thought so, he felt much better.

Of course, Hong Dali was even more pleased—this was the effect he wanted!

“Ladies and gentlemen, next up is our last item up for auction. I have to say this. This item is very incredulous.” At this moment, the auction was about to reach its end. The auctioneer Su Lei cleared his throat and introduced. “This item, in reality, is a technology, a marvelous technology!”

Having heard Su Lei’s introduction, the crowd immediately got really curious.

“Technology, what kind of technology can be up for auction?”

“You’re not fooling around with us, are you? That can’t be just a single copy. Once it gets copied, the entire world will have learned it already.”

“Yeah, yeah, technology is not something unique.”

Before arriving, everyone was curious about this item while browsing the auction handbook. Naturally, they had to clear this doubt when the time came.

It was natural that everyone felt it was strange. One had to understand that, strictly speaking, a technology could be infinitely duplicated. Especially in such an auction. Since a copy of technology was being auctioned, the creator would definitely have had created a copy. Even if there wasn’t a copy, the creator himself was as good as a copy, as he could fine tune it and put it up for sale again anytime.

“Everyone be quiet, quiet!” Su Lei gestured and waited for the crowd to quieten, before solemnly continuing, “Strictly speaking, this technology, exactly as everyone has mentioned, has all the reasons as to why it should not be apt for auction. However, this unprecedented technology is indeed a highly advanced one. However, the creator has used up his entire funding and has no choice but to put it up for auction in exchange for funding. As to how much it can fetch, this is up to you all, no obligations.”

Noticing that the crowd did not have any objection, Su Lei cleared his throat and solemnly continued, “This technology is named Virtual Reality Projection. Everyone, please watch the demonstration.”

Immediately, an attendant dressed in a blue, tight-fitting outfit with black nodes scattered all over walked up the auction stage. Subsequently, another two attendants carried a gigantic television screen up as well.

Very quickly, everyone knew what this technology was.

When the television screen was switched on, the attendant in the tight blue outfit started to perform all kinds of movements. Simultaneously, a simple 3D figure on the screen actually began copying and performing the exact same movements.

After a minute of demonstration, the attendants left the stage, and Su Lei loudly said, “I believe everyone now understands the general idea of this technology. Then, this Virtual Reality Projection technology, nodal projection outfit, working principle, and manufacturing method will start at 500,000. The auction starts now.”
