Chapter 643: Chapter 637: The Spending Spree March – Part 2
“Jasmine Davis?” Finn Lewis raised an eyebrow, looking at Dunn Monty.
Dunn Monty nodded, “It should be.” Finn Lewis looked confused, suddenly wondering if this woman was here for this object.
She must be incredibly wealthy, showing her determination to possess this item. It seems that the ambitions of this pirate boss are not small. What would she do with this item when she bought it? It was quite obvious.
Jasmine Davis abruptly raised the price to two hundred thousand. The bidding cooled a bit until the auctioneer announced the price for the second time at five hundred thousand. Then, a voice interrupted Jasmine’s bid: “550,000!”
“550,500.” Jasmine Davis followed up without hesitation, only adding an extra 5,000 star credits this time.
Finn Lewis was quite taken aback. This woman, how should I put it…
“600,000!” That same voice once again raised the bid by 50,000 without any hesitation.
“600,500!” Jasmine Davis followed again.
“650,000.”
“650,500.”
Listening to the bids outside, Finn’s face was strangely distorted. This bidding method didn’t seem like Jasmine’s style.
“Bloody Peach Blossom?” A bass voice echoed, the voice of the man competing with Jasmine.
“What, you can’t beat me so now you’re resorting to threats?” Jasmine’s seductive voice sounded.
“Not at all. I’m just curious when you came into so much money?” The bass voice asked in a weird tone.
“If you don’t want to follow, fine. It’s none of your business when I came into money.” Jasmine retorted sharply.
“700,000. You better give up. With the state of your pirate group and your ramshackle ships, I doubt you’ll have any territory left in the Hexa Sector in a few years. Even if you buy this item, it will only keep you around for a little while longer. Though, I wouldn’t mind giving it to you if you lie on my bed.” The bass voice nonchalantly declared.
“I’d rather have a fling with a synthetic human than with you. Go play with yourself. And 700,500! I may not be able to buy it, but I won’t let you get it easily.” Jasmine lashed back.
Squinting his eyes, Finn thought this was a fierce battle to overhear. He picked up some discreet information from the conversation. It seemed that Jasmine’s group, the Bloody Peach Blossoms, was not in a good place.
The bass voice clearly didn’t care about this amount of money. Although Jasmine had raised the price, the other party seemingly didn’t care. In the end, Jasmine was just playing with him.
“1,000,000.” Finn suddenly chimed in.
The appearance of a stranger’s voice interrupted the bickering between the two. Jasmine and the bass voice was silent for a while. When the auctioneer was about to announce “one million for the third time”, the bass voice piped up again: “1,050,000.”
“1,500,000.” Without a second’s hesitation, Finn raised the bid by 500,000.
“1,550,000. This one is mysterious, which brother is this?” The bass voice called a price, then asked.
“2,000,000.” Finn did not answer, he just announced his bid.
As soon as Finn quoted his price, the simulacrums in the hall instantly started chattering. Finn could even feel the surprised and strange atmosphere in the surrounding rooms. Don’t ask him how he knows, he just sensed it.
“2,050,000. This is my final bid. If the gentleman wants it, it’s all yours.” The bass voice called the price.
“2,050,500.” Finn calmly quoted a new number.
“Pfft”, a crisp laugh sounded. This voice was obviously Jasmine’s, “Ha ha, Heibear Lincoln, did you mean what you said or not?”
Finn was stupefied. This Jasmine really knew how to provoke people. Although he was unsure about the bass voice’s expression, Finn guessed he would definitely not take Jasmine’s words lightly.
Finn thought if it were himself, he’d probably be pissed off by now. But wasn’t this woman just causing hatred towards herself? Although Finn didn’t worry much about it.
“2,060,000!” The bass voice quoted another price.
“3,000,000.” Finn raised the price by a full one million. Finn’s bid even silenced Jasmine – clearly, she was startled. This was absolutely throwing money around.
This time, the man named Heibear Lincoln didn’t continue. Apparently, this price was beyond his capability. In fact, it was probably beyond anyone’s. 3 million is far beyond the actual price of this system, because even some mid-tier, brand-new battleships aren’t priced so high.
3 million star credits is no small amount for these space pirates.
Following the item’s sale, the meeting venue seemed to regain its tranquillity. As the auction went on, a new auction item appeared on the middle-aged man’s stage, “Gene Repair Liquid, ten bottles in total, one course of treatment. It can cure most cases of genetic collapse diseases unless it has reached the advanced stage. Besides, it can also extend the lifespan of the user. The repaired genes will be fully functional like those in a normal person.”
“We all know that, for Genetic Collapse Diseases, besides the specific Gene Repair Liquid, no other methods work, including the Life Rejuvenation Liquid which can replace all the cells in a body. The Life Rejuvenation Liquid only remodels a person’s genes, not cures them. Our starting price for the Gene Repair Liquid is 300,000, with each increase no less than 10,000.” The auctioneer introduced this medicine in detail.
Finn Lewis was apparently listening, but in reality his attention was elsewhere. It was on Montgomery Tian, because when the Gene Repair Liquid was displayed, Finn could sense a significant fluctuation in Tian’s mental state. Although he was standing expressionless, his emotions and physical signs clearly showed that he was excited.
Finn started to understand his own mental sensing ability. It was undeniably linked to the Icarus Insect Species. Moreover, as the Icarus Insect Units strengthened, Finn felt that his sensing ability seemed to enhance.
The price of such a drug in auction can vary wildly. It can be high or low. Once it lands in the hand of a person that needs it, its price can go sky-high.
“350,000.” Finn raised the bid by 50,000, announcing his number.
