No one in the room mocked the two bidders anymore.

Instead, their eyes filled with enthusiasm as they looked at the high-grade map.

“550 gold!”

A player could no longer suppress the curiosity in his heart and blurted out a bid.

“Damn it, you outbid me before I could even make a bid!”

“600 gold!”

“650 gold!”

“1000 gold!”

…

Watching this fierce competition, the auctioneer on stage could hardly contain his joy.

He had prepared for the map to be unsold, reckoning its value to only be around 200 gold.

Unexpectedly, a dark horse emerged halfway through the bidding process, significantly inflating the value of the map.

In just a short amount of time, the bidding price had already soared to 1500 gold!

The auctioneer was no longer concerned about the changes in the bidding prices.

He felt as if spring had arrived for him.

After this auction, could he qualify for the promotion to a senior auctioneer?

Would fame and honor not be rolling in?

From then on, couldn’t he say that he had reached the peak of his life?

However,

In private room number three, Shuxin was sulking, feeling too ashamed to face Su Ran.

She had never expected that Han Siying could ignore her message and continue to compete with her.

What had gotten into Han Siying that made her so stubborn?

“What’s wrong?”

Su Ran looked at Shuxin, saw her guilty expression, and laughed.

He said to Shuxin, “You guaranteed that you would bid for this map for me.

Keep bidding and crush them!”

“You…”

Seeing Su Ran taking pleasure in her misfortune, Shuxin got angry.

She glared at Su Ran and said grumpily, “I’m out of money.

I can’t afford it anymore, okay?

If you want to laugh, then laugh.

This is all I have!”

“I never intended for you to buy it in the first place.

You’re just showing off!

Watch and learn how I’m going to turn this situation around!”

Su Ran chuckled, picked up the bidding machine, and without any hesitation, entered a series of numbers and pressed confirm.

“The VIP in private room number three has bid 10,000 gold!”

The auctioneer, who was ecstatic beyond belief, shouted at the top of his lungs, spewing all the air out of his lungs.

He was so excited that he nearly fainted.

Su Ran’s bid, like a thunderclap reverberating through the heavens, stunned everyone in the room.

Even Shuxin was shockingly looking at Su Ran.

She had not expected Su Ran to be so generous, bidding without a care in the world.

She was disgusted and stomped her feet, wondering how he could be so reckless!

“Overturning Water, have you gone mad?

Anyone can overturn the heavens if they have the money!

What’s the point of you doing this?

That’s a hundred grand!

None of you throws money around like this!

If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation today, I will admit that I have misunderstood you!”

Seeing Shuxin in such rage, Su Ran just shrugged it off and smiled.

He said to Shuxin, “Don’t rush, the real show is yet to come.

My bid just gave momentum to the auction and baited the others.

Trust me.”

“Fine, if you end up getting this crappy map, we will part ways and be strangers from now on!

You rich folks, I can’t afford to keep up with you!”

Seeing Shuxin so frustrated, Su Ran didn’t provide any explanation, instead he turned his focus to the auction stage.

Meanwhile, the whole auction house was buzzing.

The players felt as if their perspectives had been completely refreshed.

“Did I hear wrong?

10,000 gold?

This VIP is ridiculously rich, isn’t he?”

This high-grade map must have some special qualities!

I bet the guy who sold it is now regretting his decision.”

“Regret my ass!

A hundred thousand yuan just fell into my lap, wouldn’t I be over the moon?”

“I’ve never seen what 10,000 gold looks like in my life.

It’s true, comparing oneself to others is infuriating!”

…

However, while the players were all busy discussing, Shuxin Natural stood up and coldly said, “15,000 gold!”

“Whoa!”

All the players gasped in surprise.

They all looked at the striking beauty with shocked expressions, forgetting to even breathe.

The whole meeting room suddenly fell into absolute silence.

As for the auctioneer on stage, he was so happy that he was at a loss for words.

He felt as if his soul had left his body.

“So this Shuxin Natural is the real tycoon!”

“She’s beautiful and rich, where can you find such a perfect woman?”

“‘Crane That Doesn’t Dance’ is so lucky to have found such a top-tier girlfriend.

It’s so enviable!”

“Why are all the good women someone else’s girlfriend?

It’s so annoying!”

“Shuxin babe, this bro is strong and fit, without any bad habits.

I’m great at all kinds of positions, please sponsor me and take me with you!”

“‘Crane That Doesn’t Dance’, are you there?

This dude is trying to steal your girl!

Come out now or I’m going to steal her too!”

“Hahahaha!!”

All the players burst out laughing, easing the previous tense atmosphere.

Even the players who once called Shuxin Natural an idiot had unanimously changed their tune and began to compliment her.

“See, I knew it.

She doesn’t care about a few thousand gold pieces.”

Su Ran chuckled and said to Shuxin, “See for yourself, did you misunderstand me?”

“I suppose you do have a point!”

Shuxin heaved a sigh of relief and finally put her heart at ease.

The hundred grand was saved.

She reckoned that if she stayed with Su Ran, who was ‘Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’, for too long, she would eventually get a heart disease!

But, what got into Siying?

She unexpectedly threw tens of thousands just for the sake of obtaining this broken map?

However, since she’s not short on money, even if she throws away a few hundred grand, it wouldn’t matter much.

She probably doesn’t treat it as a big deal.

As for Su Ran, he had already given up on bidding and turned his focus back to Shuxin Natural.

A faint smile crept up his lips.

He felt relieved and fortunate that he chose to gamble on the situation.

He cozened 20,000 gold coins from Han Siying using the Lava Greatsword, a rare item, but she always felt a lingering frustration.

Today, she came with a vengeance!

Su Ran merely expressed his determination by bidding 10,000 gold, and successfully baited Han Siying.

“The bid is already at 15,000 gold!

Is there anyone else?”

The auctioneer didn’t want to let the lively auction atmosphere cool down.

He promptly shouted and kept his eyes on private room number three, hoping that the VIP would counter with a higher bid.

However,

Unexpectedly, private room number three went completely silent.

They seemed to have given up on bidding.
