Chapter 284: 60: Sudden Competition

Chapter 284: Chapter 60: Sudden Competition

Known as the interstellar gold valley, Hinchlo possessed the wealthiest Panpublic Bank in the interstellar realm!

An unobstructed payment voucher across the Federation, Empire, and Outer Domain Galaxy!

A Centurion Black Gold Card from Hinchlo with a billion Hinchlo gold yuan overdraft limit!

And the exchange rate between Hinchlo gold yuan and Federation Star Coins was 1:5!

A fifty billion limit…

No wonder White Hair had such confidence.

...

This time, Natello’s face turned uncertain.

“Let’s put an end to this farce, a floating car worth at most twenty million. I am Youshi Jun, my friend, let it end here,” he said.

Nearly half of the people present were from Zhongjing City, and the mention of “Youshi Jun” made them choke up even more.

The seven families of Blue Capital from Zhongjing, led by the Youshi Family!

The political landscape of Blue Capital Star might change, but seated in Zhongjing, the Youshi Family had stood unshaken for one hundred and twenty years!

They had intricate connections with both chambers of the Federation and the military high command.

“Youshi Jun… this…”

Those who knew waited to see what he hesitated about,

While those unaware waited to see what he could possibly say.

Meanwhile, Mu Fan was pondering how to cling to White Hair’s powerful influence… Should he really do it? It felt so embarrassing.

As the youth was still bitterly contemplating a breaking strategy, White Hair suddenly revealed a brilliant smile: “Deal, I’ll give you the eighty million! As long as it’s not that self-proclaimed underground car king.”

Waving his hand and once again saucily lifting his chin, White Hair’s electrifying gaze hit Beishan Xinyue hard this time.

Possessing a Centurion Black Gold Card from Hinchlo, could this young man truly be so unprincipled!?

You!

Seeing Natello’s changing expressions, for some reason, Gaoling Ze felt a dark pleasure inside.

It turned out he wasn’t the only one humbled.

Today seemed like an encounter with a mad dog, but…

With a smile tugging at his lips, Gaoling Ze called over an aide and whispered a few instructions; the aide hurriedly left.

On the streets of Zhongjing, I, Gaoling Ze, shall play along with you first.

The auction hammer fell, and the ludicrously priced car went to Buyer No.1, Youshi Jun.

Mu Fan glanced at White Hair, who wore a friendly smile, then turned away.

Too much to handle, still hurting the eyes.

Two more auction items sold at high prices, each inadvertent lean or turn from Beishan Xinyue igniting saliva and keeping the atmosphere as fiery as before.

Mu Fan looked down at his wristwatch; an hour had already passed.

The Heart-locking Grass still hadn’t appeared on stage?

“Mu Fan, be alert, your target should be coming up next!”

What?

So soon!

Mu Fan quickly concentrated, listening to the woman on stage.

“The next item for auction is quite special, a relic of an A-grade interstellar explorer; this comes from an exploration of an untouched original mini-planet twenty-three light-years from Blue Capital Star. This great explorer unfortunately contracted an unknown virus aboard the return spaceship. The single-pilot spacecraft eventually returned automatically to the Space Port, thus becoming this relic commissioned for auction by the Explorer Association, and the proceeds will go to his widow.”

“So, this is also the only charitable item in this auction. The items are mostly plants; among them are two unknown plants and two unidentified minerals, as well as a notebook from the explorer about his journey on that planet. Noteworthy is that these plants still retain their biological activity.”

After finishing, Beishan Xinyue took a pair of sterile white gloves handed by an assistant, and a large glass sphere was brought onto the stage.

Some soil with several plants of different colors scattered within, and two minerals lay beside. A notebook within an air bubble was placed next to the glass sphere.

“The explorer specialized in biology and geography, and the auction house has preserved these items as much as possible. No biological toxins or abnormal microbes have been detected, though unknown elements cannot be excluded, and the auction house holds no responsibility.”

“The current items include five plants in total, two unknown minerals, known plants include two stalks of Heart-locking Grass, one Water Primrose, one Purple Flame Ganoderma, three Moon Emotion Flowers, and two stalks of Hundred-year-old Mutant Wood Ginseng.”

“All these items start at 200,000, with each increase no less than 10,000.”

Charitable items, indeed? But seeing Beishan Xinyue’s cautious demeanor, everyone hesitated to make a move.

What if they carried unknown biological toxins?

“Star Map relic?”

In the second row, a person draped in a light-gray long robe and wearing a dark-gold mask suddenly looked excitedly in that direction.

His right hand involuntarily tightened, leaving five finger impressions on the metal armrest!

That mineral full of rock chips, the faint yellow Mica flowers interwoven with the blue-purple base pattern, crafted a natural view.

In the eyes visible through the mask, the image of that mineral had been indelibly etched onto his pupils.

Today’s items, he must have them!

Following Pell Chamber of Commerce to Blue Capital Star, I actually had this kind of harvest!

I believe when I go back and hand it over to Lord Knight, I will definitely receive immense praise.

This is a Star Map Relic containing infinite possibilities!

Those races from the Outer Domain wouldn’t know the huge price they’d have to pay to get it back.

Now it’s being called an unknown mineral by these humans.

Ridiculous…

Hehe, it’s mine now!

Although most people didn’t make an offer, a few guests with extremely strong curiosity still placed their bids.

It wasn’t much money, just for fun.

“250,000! Guest number 138.”

“350,000! Guest number 210.”

Just two bids, and Mu Fan was stunned!

That was already beyond his budget…

“Black, what do we do, I don’t have enough money.”

“Have you clung to White Hair’s coattails yet? Didn’t you see such a big financial backer?”

“I…”

“What ‘I’, go on!”

Mu Fan, speechless, pulled out his Sky Communication.

He found a contact named “Yin Shuai” and hesitated before finally pressing it:

“This is Mu Fan, at 173, lend me some money, I want to bid on this.”

After sending it, Mu Fan felt like he had fought a battle, completely drained.

On the other side, White Hair, who was yawning, felt his Sky Communication vibrate and took it out.

Hmm?

Original T-Rex!?

Mu Fan was there too!

Hahaha, then he must have seen my heroic stance just now!

173?

Putting on his visor, Yin Shuai and Mu Fan saw each other clearly, about twenty meters apart.

Then White Hair dialed Mu Fan’s Sky Communication.

On the other end, Mu Fan answered and looked into Yin Shuai’s eyes.

“Alright, I’ll help you. If it’s under 5 million, no worries; if it’s over 5 million, you owe me one condition afterward.”

“What condition?”

“Save my life!”

White Hair’s serious tone was shocking, his voice stable without any trace of levity but utmost seriousness.

It was the first time Mu Fan saw White Hair so serious.

“Okay!”

Although he didn’t know how big the dangers here were, Mu Fan still nodded.

Seeing the young man nod in front, White Hair smiled, and his voice lightened up in the Sky Communication, “Just kidding! How could someone as handsome and dashing as me encounter danger?”

“My journey is the vast universe! But alas, I’m understaffed, so I need companions. In my lifetime, I want to build my own warship! Hahaha! Someday I’ll appoint you as Vice Captain!”

Mu Fan, speechless, held his Sky Communication and watched White Hair.

But at that moment, his heart was suddenly touched by White Hair’s bold and unrestrained declaration, and thoughts about future blueprints instantly expanded.

“Go ahead and bid, I’ve already submitted my buyer amount linking permission.” A second later Yin Shuai’s voice came through.

“Mhm, thank you.”

Putting away the Sky Communication, Mu Fan saw White Hair make an OK gesture.

“400,000, buyer 173.”

“480,000, buyer 302.” After Mu Fan placed his bid, not far away a girl whose face turned bright red excitedly pressed her padd to place a bid.
