Tang Ming quickly raised his hand and directly called out:
"Two hundred and seventy million."
Seeing his determined look, the faces of the three people from the Zhao Family turned grim.
"Big brother, that person’s look seems like he’s determined to get it. Competing further with him will only drive up the price of this Heavenly Yin Scorpion Frog Egg, which isn’t advisable."
Zhao Shuxin shook her head gently.
"Who the hell is that guy? He’s already spent billions before, and now he’s competing with us again. Isn’t he afraid of going bankrupt?"
Zhao Taiyi’s face darkened, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"Let’s try calling again, and if it doesn’t work, we’ll think of sothing else. After all, we only brought three hundred million."
The woman who hadn’t spoken yet slowly raised her hand: "Three hundred million. If soone bids higher, we Zhao Family will give up."
Up on the stage, Die Cai was already overjoyed inside. A single Heavenly Yin Scorpion Frog Egg was auctioned to a high price of three hundred million. Although this item was rare, it shouldn’t be worth so much money. Her commission as the auctioneer for this was also quite terrifying.
"Three hundred million and one yuan."
Hearing the woman’s words, Tang Ming smiled and shouted.
"Ahem, sorry sir, the price incrent for this item is five million each ti."
Caidie quickly and speechlessly reminded him.
"Is that so? Then three hundred million and five million."
Tang Ming smiled awkwardly and quickly corrected himself.
Afterward, the Zhao Family people did not speak again, but each of them stared at Tang Ming with venomous eyes.
Since soone chose to give up, Die Cai didn’t hesitate. She quickly struck the hamr three tis, pointed to Tang Ming, and announced: "Congratulations to this guest for buying this Heavenly Yin Scorpion Frog Egg for three hundred million and five million."
"Dear, it seems you’ve gotten yourself into trouble again."
Feeling the gaze of the three Zhao Family mbers, Su Xiaoxi worriedly reminded him.
"No need to worry, just ignore them."
Tang Ming casually pouted, already eager to consu the Heavenly Yin Scorpion Frog Egg to enhance his cultivation.
Tang Ming had bought two items in total, including the previous Star-falling Iron. Both were sky-high priced, totaling more than five hundred million. This made him the biggest spender at this auction.
With such a young and wealthy tycoon, many in the crowd started speculating about Tang Ming’s identity and background.
Zhou Hai and Octopus Head also began to take Tang Ming seriously. With considerable strength and the ability to spend so much money, accompanied by a beauty like Su Xiaoxi, this person undoubtedly had a strong background and allies.
Octopus Head was powerless to investigate Tang Ming, but Zhou Hai was different.
Feeling suspicious, Zhou Hai imdiately called for soone to investigate Tang Ming’s identity. Beginning with the invitation, he found out that it was provided by the Su Family. However, no other information about Tang Ming’s na, background, or cultivation could be found.
Because he couldn’t figure out Tang Ming’s origins, Zhou Hai had to temporarily abandon his plans for revenge. At least until he could discern the opponent’s identity and background and find a good opportunity, he wouldn’t make a move.
The auction ended. Though most items were valuable, the Star-falling Iron and the Heavenly Yin Scorpion Frog Egg bought by Tang Ming were undoubtedly in the top three of the price list, earning significant attention even at the Martial Arts Conference.
As the guests left, Su Xiaoxi, holding Tang Ming’s arm, said with satisfaction: "Dear, although there were so ups and downs at this Martial Arts Conference, we did gain quite a lot. Let’s head back to the hotel, pack up, and go ho?"
"If only we could have gotten our hands on that ridian-restoring scroll, then I’d say it was a real success."
Tang Ming grumbled discontentedly.
"The base price of that item was so low, it’s obviously useless. Yet, there’s soone willing to pay so much for it. Truly foolish."
Su Xiaoxi laughed carelessly, then held Tang Ming’s arm and returned to the hotel.
Back in their room, Su Xiaoxi started packing the suitcase, ready to head ho, while Tang Ming sat on the sofa, playing with the two special boxes on the coffee table. One contained the Heavenly Yin Scorpion Frog Egg and the other the Star-falling Iron. Combined, they were worth several billion.
"Generally, hotels require checkout by noon. It’s quite rare that this Sun and Moon Resort Hotel allows an extension to 5 PM."
Su Xiaoxi placed the purchased items into the suitcase and sighed.
"Hehe, fifteen thousand a night. If such a pricey hotel weren’t user-friendly, it would be truly absurd."
Tang Ming chuckled coldly. This hotel barely managed to thrive due to the Martial Arts Conference. Once it was over, people wouldn’t even pay ten thousand a night to stay here. Now that the Martial Arts Conference was over, many started leaving. Only a fool would still stay here.
"That’s true; perhaps the room rates will drop tonight."
Su Xiaoxi nodded, understanding that just one day’s operation of the hotel might have equaled a year’s worth of business.
"Oh?"
Tang Ming suddenly spotted a special hotel flyer on the table and exclaid, "Turns out there’s an afternoon tea in the executive lounge. We could have so food before leaving!"
"No need, right?"
Su Xiaoxi looked at Tang Ming speechlessly: "The Martial Arts Conference is over, and everyone’s busy heading ho. Especially those who participated in the auction, they’re afraid their purchased items might attract trouble. You were the biggest spender at the auction and still want to go eat? Are you not afraid soone’s out to rob you?"
"The items are in my hands. Who has the guts to take them?"
Tang Ming smiled proudly, then eagerly grabbed the two boxes and rushed out, shouting without looking back: "I’ll wait for you at the restaurant. Having spent so much, I won’t let the Sun and Moon Group profit a di more."
"Hey..."
Su Xiaoxi wanted to say sothing, but Tang Ming had already disappeared, making her angrily scold: "What a glutton, only knowing how to eat. It seems nothing else matters!"
Unlike others eager to leave, Tang Ming carried the two boxes into the buffet restaurant and began feasting. The restaurant was almost empty, with only him and Su Xiaoxi present. No one else seed to care about the al as much as he did.
As it was tea ti, the restaurant prepared small snacks. Fortunately, the place wasn’t crowded; otherwise, the food wouldn’t be enough to fill Tang Ming’s teeth.
After Su Xiaoxi finished eating, she started fetching food for Tang Ming. Despite finding his gluttony annoying, she agreed with his viewpoint that no one should benefit from this rip-off hotel. At fifteen thousand a night, it was truly a scam.
