"You want it?"
"Mm-hmm."
By now, the bidding outside had reached 100,000 gold coins. Dugu Qianye pressed the bidding button and exclaimed, "200,000."
A stir went through the crowd downstairs. The price had doubled in an instant! For a bead whose nature was unknown, an offer of 200,000 was made.
"300,000." A light went on in a second-floor room.
"500,000." Dugu Qianye raised the bid.
The place outside fell eerily silent; everyone was stunned by Dugu Qianye. Although 500,000 gold coins wasn't a lot, for a bead with an unknown origin, there was completely no need for such extravagance.
"500,000. Is there a higher bid? 500,000 once, 500,000 twice, 500,000 thrice." Qu Yaoyao brought down the gavel and declared, "Sold, the bead now belongs to the friend in room number one on the third floor."
