Chapter 210: Bidding
With the initial high bid not working, Sage held off. If he started bidding too furiously, it might draw attention. From the previous rounds of bidding he knew he didnt have many funds in comparison. The worst thing he could do right now was to get some rich guy interested. Theyd probably buy it just on the off chance it was something good.
Thankfully, nobody else seemed interested and the auctioneer started asking for any other bidders. Just before she called for a third time, Sage put in a bid for twenty one thousand. The minimum increase. The other VIP booth raised their price to thirty thousand. Sage let the auctioneer call another two more times. Then he did it again, raising to a thousand over the other booth. He had no idea if it was a good tactic or not, but he was taking his time between bids to make it seem like he wasnt sure.
Jin Shih popped a green colored berry, with small dimples on its surface like a strawberry, into his mouth. Then he looked at the stage again, Its just a seed. Does it have some special use we dont know about?
The other bidder raised the price to thirty two. Sage took this as a sign they didnt want to waste their money. Sage raised the price to fifty thousand and looked over to Jin Shih, Not really. I just want to try and grow the tree so I can research it.
The other VIP booth didnt bid again. Sage wasnt sure what happened, but a few moments later he won the auction. He was feeling quite excited, even letting a smile show on his face. Cui Shufen frowned over at Jin Shih, Youre so mean.
Then she apologized to Sage, Im so sorry. Jin Shihs rival is over in that booth. He just wants to bid up all the prices for anything Jin Shih tries to buy. Stonesap Tree seeds usually only sell for 20-30,000.
The auctioneer worked to rile up the crowd, getting some cheers and jeering.
Perfect! Its time for you to step up. Our next sets of items are mysterious. None of our experts have been able to identify them. Each of them defies the natural order is some way, which is why we have taken them to be treasures of some sort. We have no idea what they are, so nows the time to gamble! Are they treasures or trash, time to find out.
Then she walked over to the revealed lump of clay, This is our first mystery item. It looks like failed pottery, but is remarkably immune to any special senses weve turned upon it. All we know is that theres something inside, but the outer shell is hard to crack. If we try to break the clay by force well destroy whatever is trapped inside. So, who thinks they can crack it open? The bidding starts at 50,000.
The crowd had been getting excited at the idea of treasure trapped in a sort of magic safe. That is until the auctioneer mentioned the starting bid amount. Immediately, many who had risen to their feet in excitement sat back down. Nobody wanted to gamble such a large amount on a longshot. The auction house wasnt one to take a loss. They wouldnt be selling mystery items without first trying all they could to determine the true value of an object. This wasnt a treasure hunting hall that auctioned off ancient piles of trash because it was too expensive to sort through it.
Sage was hoping nobody would bid. Then he could wait and see if the auctioneer would lower the price before he bid. Unfortunately, he was out of luck. After the second call someone in the leaf seats lifted a hand and bid the minimum. At that point it was like theyd been given permission and more people started to join in the bidding. Sage had wanted to just yell out 100,000 as soon as he heard the starting price, but he was terrified it would show how valuable the item was. Now, as the bidders pushed the price up to 90,000 he was wishing he had.
He touched the large yellow seed and the colored leaves under the booth displayed a number: 120,000.
