Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 378 Artworks

"Next item, lot number 4, a beautiful jade disc from the era of the Final War!"

Di Xing looked at the jade disc and thought: It seems the information on Qiao Ke's computer was correct; this auction also sells artwork.

"This jade disc is carved from spirit jade and is a symbol of the user's status. Lot number 4 is larger than any jade disc seen on the market, suggesting that the user was of very high status."

"Ah, that's Gongshu Xiong Shu's jade disc," Baili Jinghong's emotionless voice echoed in Di Xing's mind.

"Huh? Could it be that they dug this up in Dulun at dusk?"

"Please look at these exquisite patterns, this ingenious carving, and this soft luster (patina) formed over the long years."

This is absolutely a rare work of art. The starting bid is 20 yuan, with a bidding rule of 258, and no upper limit!

"20 yuan?" A man wearing a pangolin mask muttered to himself, resting his chin on his hand. "There are quite a few jade discs like these that ancient warriors carried. They usually start at 10 yuan. This one is quite large, so starting at 20 yuan is reasonable. If I win the bid and resell it, I should make a good profit. Sure enough, I can find a bargain here."

Although being crammed together with this disgusting group of people was extremely uncomfortable, the pangolin-man mentally added this thought before preparing to raise his bidding paddle.

However, Di Xing preemptively raised his sign.

"22! Mr. White Bone has offered 22!"

"What? Shouldn't that weirdo only be in heat with female Kalings?"

The pangolin-like man was furious. Di Xing hadn't raised his paddle for either of the two beautiful girls; he'd thought Di Xing was the kind of pervert only interested in pretty girls like Kaling.

Although he wasn't as rich as Di Xing, he still wanted to compete!

So he decisively raised the sign in his hand.

"25! Mr. Pangolin has offered 25!"

However, before he could put his sign down, Di Xing raised it up again.

“28万！白骨...哦！30万！穿山甲先生出价30万！32万！白骨先生立马加到32万！”

Damn it, this guy seems determined to get it! After weighing his options, the pangolin man decided to give up.

"Congratulations to Mr. White Bone for successfully bidding on his second item!"

Di Xing then held up a large sign that read, "I want it now!"

So Di Xing swiped his card to pay and took the jade disc into his hand.

Di Xing played with the jade disc, feeling the passage of time within it, and smiled contentedly.

"Next item for auction: Kaling [Mermaid Princess], four-star, water attribute, attack power 1500, defense power 800."

The staff brought in a large water tank. The mermaid princess with golden hair was curled up inside, her red fishtail trembling with fear.

"This is a top-quality specimen we went to great lengths to capture. It's said that even the fluids from her entire body have healing properties. Starting bid: 200 million."

Upon hearing this, a greedy glint appeared in the eyes of all the beasts present, and then they all looked at Di Xing with apprehension.

However, this time Di Xing showed no intention of raising his paddle.

Now the beasts in the room had no more worries and began frantically raising their paddles. In the end, the Little Mermaid was auctioned off for a high price of 750 million.

"Then, the next item up for auction is a uniquely shaped piece of fairy jade."

"Great! It's my item!" Tang Si exclaimed excitedly. "That's a treasure I found after going through countless hardships; it's sure to fetch a good price!"

"Host, that was clearly marked on the map for you by me using my last bit of energy."

"But I'm the one who got this. I almost lost my life trying to get it."

A staff member pushed a small cart onto the stage. On the cart was an object about the size of a bucket of noodles, covered with a yellow cloth.

Somewhat awkwardly, the staff lifted the yellow cloth, revealing a piece of... well... a jade shard with a curved and coiled shape.

"This, this..." The deer-headed man suddenly stood up, pointing at the fairy jade, speechless for a moment. Tang Si looked at his reaction with great pride. Of course you've never seen such a high-end item before, have you?

After catching his breath, the deer-headed man finally shouted, "Isn't this a piece of shit?"

"Well, in short, this fairy jade is shaped like poop."

Juxiang said somewhat awkwardly, then quickly added, "Although this piece of spirit jade isn't very well-shaped, it's huge! Such a large piece of spirit jade is very rare. And its starting bid is only 1 yuan, with each bid increasing by 1 yuan. If all else fails, you can buy it, break it up, and use it as is."

"100 yuan? Are you kidding me? A fairy jade of this size can sell for nearly 1 million yuan on the market!"

"Everyone here is someone of importance, who would buy a poop-shaped spirit jade? No matter how big it is, it's not good enough!" The deer-headed man sat down angrily.

Sure enough, everyone in the room was furious, and no one raised a sign.

Then, Di Xing silently raised his sign.

Juxiang felt as if she had been granted a pardon. "20,000 yuan! Mr. White Bone has offered 20,000 yuan! Anyone else bidding? 20,000 yuan once, 20,000 yuan twice, 20,000..."

Tang Si stood up angrily, "Young master, I'll offer 1000 million!"

"Oh, Mr. Green Turtle has offered 1000 million!"

"Host, are you crazy?" the system roared. "We sold it to earn money to bid on that silver-haired girl! How could you spend your own money to buy it?"

"How can I sell my stuff so cheaply? Besides, you don't understand, I'm a shill; it inflates the value of my item."

Then he looked at Di Xing expectantly, only to find that Di Xing had already put the plaque away and was watching him with an air of amusement.

Tang Si froze instantly.

"Ten million once, ten million twice, ten million three times, deal!"

Juxiang, as if on high speed, immediately brought down the auction hammer.

He didn't care whether Tang Si's bid was in accordance with the procedures. This item was practically going to go unsold; selling it for 1000 million would be the best outcome. Although the buyer might not pay, if they didn't, their deposit would be forfeited, and they'd have to pay a 1% penalty on the bid. So, they weren't losing money.

"Host, you're such an idiot!" The system was speechless; it was beginning to regret listening to the big system.

In the past, large systems would say: "Find a somewhat dim-witted person to be the host, so you can easily manipulate them."

"But it's so stupid, I really can't handle it," the system lamented, on the verge of tears.

"Mr. Green Turtle, would you like to pay now?"

Tang Sisheng shook his head dejectedly and slumped into a chair.

Then Juxiang waved her hand dismissively at the staff, signaling them to quickly push away this...elf jade. "Now, next item..."

A girl dressed in tattered clothes was pulled up. Her messy gray hair hung down her back, her gray eyes were cloudy, and although her features were delicate, they were lifeless.

"This is!?" Upon seeing the girl, Bai Chen, wearing a hamburger mask, became excited.
