"How have I never heard Lu Xun say this phrase?" Lu Yiyao burst out laughing. "If it wasn't Lu Xun, it was Zhou Shuren who said it, anyway, one of them must have said it!" Zhang Menglong joked. "Good lord, I, Zhou Shuren, have cursed all the way from Hundred Grass Garden to San Wei Study!" "Old gentleman, will you continue to bid?" Zhang Menglong asked. "Forget it, I'll let you have it!" the old man sighed. In VIP Room 3, there was an elderly man nearing the age of ninety. He was almost bald, and his body slumped in his wheelchair as though completely paralyzed, with a man in his fifties standing behind him. "Father, aren't you going to contend for it a bit more? As descendants of the Spanish Royal Family, we have a reason to retrieve the things our ancestors lost!" "Hehe, when the kingdom was destroyed and we were thrown out, no one remembered that we were royals!" the old man said with a melancholy laugh, "I have tried just now, at least I have done a little of my duty, don't forget, our real purpose here isn't that item!" "Father, the money we brought should be enough!" "No, you underestimate the appeal of that item," the old man replied, "This time, not only us but many other countries have sent representatives here, and even many from the Second World of humans. Even if we did manage to snatch it, it would be hard to leave this place!" "But father," the middle-aged man's face was full of doubts, "does something like that really exist in the world? Something that can give one hundreds of years of life, it's just too incredible." "Vast Thousand Worlds abound with wonders, and before we encountered that incident, we didn't even know there was such a thing as the Second World, right?" "That's true," the middle-aged man nodded, "I hope it really has such miraculous effects!" "Hehe, I don't even hope for hundreds of extra years, just getting rid of this state of living death. Even if it's just for 10 years, it would be worth it!" ... After three rounds, still no one had offered a higher bid. "Congratulations to the gentleman in VIP Room 0, 'Mr. Eater,' for successfully winning this set of art pieces," Emma joked slightly, "Additionally, this set of utensils has yet to have a name, and you've won the rights to name it!" "Then call it 'Eating Soul'!" Zhang Menglong blurted out without even thinking. "Hahaha!" Wang Ling was nearly bursting with laughter, "It sounds like someone hammering on a coffin board. I bet you ten bucks, if Charles V knew you named it 'Eating Soul,' he would climb right out of his grave to deal with you!" "Butler!" Zhang Menglong immediately called his butler, "Don't make too much for lunch tomorrow, just three dishes and a soup with two bowls of rice will do. Let's use my newly bought 'Eating Soul' to serve it. I want to see if a two billion dollar set of bowls makes the food taste any better!" The butler picked up the phone completely baffled. Meow meow meow? What the heck is he talking about? "Not much, just over sixty billion or so, about a dozen items, see for yourself!" Zhang Menglong moved the smart tablet in front of Wang Ling. "Are you sick? That's not how you're supposed to use money!" Looking at Zhang Menglong's shopping list, Wang Ling wanted to take a knife and kill Menglong. Almost none of these items were useful. "Why did you buy this dinosaur fossil?" "To ward off evil spirits!" ... "And this meteorite?" "They say this piece of meteorite is especially hard!" "So?" "It can be used to crack walnuts." "I'm...," Wang Ling's mouth twitched, perhaps this was the simple joy of the rich. ... "Exactly how much money does this Huaxia man have?" "Don't know, but I feel like he could buy everything at the auction today." "Have you guys heard? Zhang Menglong recently went to Qingqiu Country and withdrew hundreds of millions of billions of Qingqiu Currency from their bank, all in cash!" "Isn't that equivalent to several hundred billion US Dollars?" "Then why the heck are we even having an auction?" "No wonder he shops at the auction as if he were browsing a street market..." Unlike these wealthy individuals who came purely for the excitement and to see the world, some people's faces turned quite ugly and they even grew extremely nervous, as they had come with a special purpose and were interested in only one thing! But if the trend continued, it was very likely that Zhang Menglong would purchase that item, and perhaps even a country might not have the financial power like Zhang Menglong! However, this didn't affect Emma in the slightest. The organizers just informed her that her first commission had been credited, totaling nearly 320 million Euros! Now, she only hoped that Zhang Menglong would go crazier! "Coming up is the thirteenth auction item, from a country with a long history and splendid culture, it is Huaxia!" At that moment, every Huaxia person present changed their expression; indeed, the rumors were true, and this auction really did feature items from Huaxia! ...
