Chapter 461 - 0463: Obtaining the Secret Manual
Chu Ge didn’t continue speaking with Zhao Wuji because he heard the auctioneer downstairs had just brought down the gavel.
The auctioneer said, "Congratulations to the esteemed guest in VIP room number four on the second floor for winning the wooden fish with a bid of ten million."
Subsequently, several individuals came up and carried the display cabinet straight down.
Everyone was puzzled; wasn’t there one last auction item? Why were they taking the display cabinet down?
The auctioneer was also at a loss; this was not something she had been informed about beforehand, right?
Just as the auctioneer stood there dumbfounded, a man dressed in a black suit suddenly walked up, took the microphone directly from her hand, and said: "I am very sorry, ladies and gentlemen. Due to the eavesdropping incident that occurred earlier, we will be conducting a secretive bid for the last auction item. This means that without showing any actual item, everyone will write down the price they are willing to pay from their hearts. Ultimately, the owner of the auction item will make the selection, and it won’t necessarily be the highest bidder who wins. As for the selection criteria, the organizers have unanimously decided to keep it confidential."
The man in the black suit finished speaking, handed the microphone back to the auctioneer, and then turned and left the stage.
The auctioneer stood on stage, somewhat speechless. Today was probably going to be the most unforgettable day in her career as an auctioneer. So much fucking drama!
Quickly regaining her composure, the auctioneer announced, "Alright, just a little interlude. Now, let us proceed with the auction of the tenth item."
The auctioneer turned around out of habit to look, only to find nothing behind her. Quickly turning back, she gave a faint smile and said to the audience: "The tenth item is a book. As for the price, you will need to write down how much this book is worth to you on a piece of paper and submit it to the delivery box. If there are people in the hall who also wish to bid, please come this way, write down the price in your heart, and place it into the delivery box in front of the stage."
