Chapter 489 – Adding 100 Million from the Start

The Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing was the tenth item to appear in the auction. It didnt have much information on it like the goatskin map from earlier, resulting in the auctioneer just reading off the description since he didnt know anything about the item or have any experience with it in an auction.

But the auctioneer added something to his description, something Fatty Lai had requested beforehand. Requests like that from the seller were usually fulfilled as long as it wasnt too much trouble.

The next item is a Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, one of the three provided by the Miracle Doctor Guan Company! Each pill has a starting price of one million yuan, and will be auctioned in three separate instances. The auctioneer then paused due to the sudden uproar from the crowd.

Very few had heard of this Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing before, and it was the first time any of them had heard about the Miracle Doctor Guan Company. What sort of company was that? What sort of pill could this Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing be?

And wasnt the one million starting price a little too high, especially when it was the price for just one pill? Would anyone make a bid?

No one here lacked money, but no one was willing to take that risk either.

Especially when it was a pill with completely unknown origins. No one would go for it.

The uproar died down, seemingly within the auctioneers expectations. Similar things would always happen in the annual auctions, and he wasnt very surprised as he continued his introduction, The Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing is capable of expelling all toxins within the body! As we all know, through consumption of food there will inevitably be unwanted toxins that gather in our bodies. Some may be expelled constantly, but some stay inside. The longer we live, the more these toxins pile up. What this pill achieves is a body cleansing effect that expels all those toxins out of the body, renewing and extending it for a longer life!

The Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, starting price of one million! Bidding is now open! The auctioneer was prepared for the item to be left out of the auction. If no one was going to bid for the first one then both the second and third ones wouldnt have any bidders either, and theyd carry on to the next item.

Due to the last item, an antique vase that had quite a competitive bid for it, the auctioneer didnt think theyd be able to finish the auction on schedule. He wanted to save time wherever he could.

The Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing might not have been common knowledge among the participants, but some people were aware of what it was. Liu Tianyi knew about it, as did Miracle Doctor Kang!

The only concern was whether or not it was real. Miracle Doctor Kang was worried that it was the same pill that Xiaobo had provided, something that wasnt genuine.

Heh, Miracle Doctor Guan? Isnt that clearly a rip off of your name, Elder Kang? Xiao Ji said a little mockingly to Miracle Doctor Kang, who wasnt sitting far from him. This must be a scam.

Hed only just received the invitation, but while his father received a golden one every year, theyd only received the red invitation card this year! It was a three day card, but it was clear that the Xiaos didnt enjoy the prestige they once did.

Miracle Doctor Kang frowned, as if he realized something, but was unsure.

Miracle Doctor Guan This Miracle Doctor Guan wasnt Guan Xuemin, was it? He remembered that the person with Xiaobo seemed to have a good relationship with Xuemin. Could the real owner of this pill actually be Xuemin himself?

As Miracle Doctor Kang pondered, a man stood up and made his bid.

100 million! Fatty Lai raised his bid board.

Huh?! All the participants burst into an uproar, including the auctioneer who stared blankly at Fatty Lai. Hed been an auctioneer for the Yus for almost a decade, and never had he seen a situation like the one before him today!

Can Mr. 183 please repeat your bid for confirmation? I didnt quite hear it. It was an embarrassing thing for the auctioneer to say something like that, but he didnt care anymore. It was simply too absurd, something that absolutely defied logic. He simply didnt believe that Fatty Lai would bid 100 million, especially right from the get-go. He was convinced hed heard it wrong.

But Yu Haitian, who was sitting under the auction stage, frowned slightly as the auctioneer struggled in his confusion.

The Yus might be the hosts, but they did attend the auctions. Haitian was currently sitting with a middle-aged man, and if one looked closely theyd see an earpiece in the mans ear.

Buying the pill he provided himself? Could he be trying to raise the price?

Because of that, even if people wanted to carry out that strategy theyd have to take very high risks. If it were a success then itd be a win-win: the host would receive a hefty profit, and the seller would get the sum they wanted!

Of course, they could still back out of buying the item after completing the bid, but they would still need to pay a twenty percent fee for compensation!

In other words, there was no escaping the twenty percent, and this resulted in a very small amount of people actually raising the price of the item they were trying to sell.

And what Fatty Lai was doing by throwing out 100 million for the first bid looked like a complete joke!

But as perplexed as Haitian was, he kept his silence and didnt say anything.
