(Thank you for the 10,000 reward from 'Zan Xing Sui Yue Duan Tian Ya' and the reward from 'tanzit'! I am very grateful for your support!)

Looking down from the VIP room's glass window, Wuyan suddenly felt a sense of 'standing at the peak, looking down at the small mountains'—a strange sense of superiority.

Those noisy people who also came to the auction, except for those sitting in the VIP rooms like Wuyan and his group, were all sitting in the wide circular rows of seats below. From the VIP room, almost everyone could be seen.

Regardless of what Wuyan felt, Chrysanthemum and Miku were chatting and laughing, occasionally reaching out to grab fruits from the plate on the table, treating the VIP room of the auction like a KTV VIP room, only lacking a microphone in their hands.

Xiaolilin, on the other hand, was like Wuyan, stretching her head to look at the 'scenery' outside the glass window. The difference was that Wuyan just tilted his head to look, while she pressed her whole face against the glass, squishing her round, chubby face flat.

Wuyan chuckled, turned his head, and continued to observe the three women's behavior. He was afraid he couldn't help but comment, and the consequence of over-commenting would definitely be a shock, even though he wasn't afraid of electricity anymore...

Soon, Wuyan noticed a small white gadget on the table! Picking up this thing that looked like a remote control, Wuyan flipped it a few times and smiled.

Chrysanthemum and Miku also noticed the thing in Wuyan's hand. Although they seemed to be doing their own things, their attention was actually on Wuyan for various unspoken reasons...

"What's wrong with this thing that looks like a board eraser?" Almost simultaneously, Chrysanthemum and Miku came to Wuyan's side, watching him fiddle with the 'board' and smile mysteriously, and asked curiously.

"This... " Wuyan held it up and explained with a smile, "Well, there's nothing wrong with it, I'm just curious."

"Curious?" Two question marks appeared above the two women's heads, their beautiful big eyes staring at the gadget in Wuyan's hand, but they couldn't see what was so curious about it.

After looking for a long time and still not seeing anything special, the two women were puzzled. Miku even pulled a face, coldly snorted, and said unhappily, "Can you stop being cryptic? Just say what you want to say. Dragging it out, are you even a man?"

Her fierce words made Wuyan's hand tremble violently, almost dropping the thing onto Xiaolilin's head, who was curiously watching. His mouth twitched, and he squinted his eyes at the unhappy Miku, feeling like flipping a table.

If you doubt whether I'm a man, come and check it out yourself, using yourself as the price...

Of course, he could only shout this in his heart. If he shouted it out loud, he wouldn't dare even with a hundred lives...

How could he forget that neither of them was patient...

Looking at the equally unhappy Chrysanthemum, Wuyan felt helpless. Indeed, in front of these two tsundere girls, trying to be mysterious was just not worth it.

"This thing should be a bidding crystal board..." Wuyan decided to stop beating around the bush.

"Bidding crystal board? From the name, I can guess its function," said Miku, who had just told Wuyan not to drag things out, now wearing a mysterious smile, making Wuyan inwardly bleed.

The president also helplessly shook her head, took the so-called bidding crystal board from Wuyan, and hesitantly said, "Indeed, the name is quite self-explanatory. It's used for bidding during the auction, right?"

"Right!" Wuyan took the bidding crystal board back, raised his hand holding it, and explained, "If you like something and want to bid, just say the price to it, and the auctioneer will receive it. I don't know exactly how they 'receive' it, but that's how it's supposed to work."

Chrysanthemum and Miku nodded in understanding but soon became puzzled again.

"Isn't this your first time at an auction? How do you know so much?"

Faced with the two women's questions, Wuyan just pointed to a small booklet with 'Auction Instructions' on the cover, smiling without a word, everything unspoken.

This time, even Xiaolilin joined Chrysanthemum and Miku in their awkwardness.

Amid the playful banter, the lights in the auction hall suddenly changed, drawing the attention of everyone. At the center of the lowest level, a well-dressed old man suddenly appeared, standing there.

The old man stroked his not-so-long beard, chuckled a couple of times, and despite being watched by so many people, he showed no signs of nervousness or discomfort, his face calm. It was clear he had experienced such scenes many times.

Looking around the crowded hall, the old man's smile widened, and his hoarse but not unpleasant voice, speaking with a light touch, could be heard by everyone.

Of course, as the auctioneer of such a large hall, he must have some skills to handle those 'bad-tempered' clients.

Moreover, this was the only supply town leading to the Giant Beast Forest, the only place where magical beasts were produced, and this auction hall was the only one in the town, so it was not simple at all.

At least, in the eyes of Wuyan, Chrysanthemum, and Miku, the old man's level was clearly displayed as 65, a 7th-grade level!

"Welcome, old and new patrons, we meet again. Today, I will be hosting this auction. Let me tell you, there are quite a few good items today, and the final item is absolutely not simple. Please look forward to it..."

Seeing the people's emotions stirred by his words, a glint of indescribable light flashed in the old man's eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Alright, let's not waste your time. Let's go straight to the first auction item!"

The old man picked up the wooden hammer on the round platform. As he did so, the crystal ball on the platform emitted a dazzling light, forming a projection above it. A fruit that looked like an apple appeared in the projection.

The old patrons were already used to this scene, but the first-timers watched with some surprise, and faint exclamations could be heard, just like in Wuyan's VIP room, where Xiaolilin also let out such a sound.

"The first item is this! The Violent Red Fruit! Those who know it should be aware of its effects. Yes, it significantly increases the user's strength for a short time! For first-time users, it can also increase the amount of battle aura or magic power. This is a very rare drug that can even save lives in critical situations!"

He struck the wooden hammer heavily twice, quieting the somewhat noisy atmosphere in the hall. The old man, experienced in his role, said, "Starting bid is 1000 gold coins! No upper limit! Start bidding!"

As his voice fell, the scene Wuyan imagined of people shouting prices did not appear. Instead, the hall remained quiet, with only some small discussion and the sound of people bidding through the bidding crystal boards.

On the projection of the crystal ball, a row of numbers appeared below the image of the Violent Red Fruit.

According to the instructions, the numbers in front represented the sequence number of the bidding crystal board, while the numbers behind represented the bid amount!

The sequence number of the bidding crystal board in Wuyan's hand was 007!

A sequence number that filled Wuyan's heart with the urge to comment!

As time passed, the items and numbers on the crystal ball's projection were constantly updated, and the old man's hammer frequently fell, one item after another being bid on and won.

Among these items were not only drugs like the Violent Red Fruit, but also weapons, armor, potions, high-level magical beast materials, gems, minerals, and all sorts of strange things, one after another, almost dazzling the eyes of Wuyan and his group.

Some items even made Wuyan, who had a system, feel the urge to bid!
