26: The auction is over and the Jiujiantang Villa is acquired
While everyone was chatting, the auction officially began.
Since all the auction items were the same, there was no need for introductions; the first holy dragon descends started the bidding.
Generally speaking, a normal auction would save the highlight items for last, with the beginning items being appetizers, but this auction was different; all items were the same, so the competition for the first holy dragon descends was the most intense.
Qing Jie bid 300,000 Douyin coins.
Heavenly Book bid 800,000 Douyin coins.
Laoye bid 1,200,000 Douyin coins.
....
Soon, this first holy dragon descends was raised to over seven million Douyin coins, and those bidding were basically max-level tycoons; only they could bid so wildly.
Li Youqian had originally given up on the first task, but the system's voice suddenly rang out.
“Ding, a system task has been issued: bid for the first holy dragon descends. Reward: system level up by one level, one million in cash, and one hundred million Douyin coins.”
“Task failed: Host’s dingding shortens by 5cm.”
“Holy cow, the system actually has tasks? And this punishment is too severe!”
“18-5 = 13, although it's not short, it's definitely not as good as 18!”
“No more talking, I'm snatching it! What's more, there are so many rewards; winning the bid means earning.”
He didn't believe that ninety million Douyin coins couldn't win a holy dragon descends?
Im Really Rich bid 10,000,000 Douyin coins.
(75) Qing Jie: “Good heavens, where did this rich person come from, directly adding to ten million Douyin coins.”
(75) Laoye: “Still the young people have drive; I can't do it, I'm old.”
Although they said it was awesome, they still raised the price.
Beyond Dreams bid 15,000,000 Douyin coins.
Heavenly Book bid 16,000,000 Douyin coins.
Laoye bid 18,000,000 Douyin coins.
Im Really Rich bid 30,000,000 Douyin coins!
Li Youqian watched them constantly adding little by little, so he simply overturned the table and directly added to 30,000,000; firstly, to save time, and secondly, to deter many people.
After all, this was just the first item.
To be honest, Li Youqian's move did startle quite a few people; thirty million Douyin coins was three million, and spending three million to buy the right to use a limited-time gift, in many people's eyes, was purely crazy.
If Li Youqian didn't have the system, he would definitely curse this person as an idiot, right?
Unfortunately, that idiot was himself.
Mu Zhi bid 30,500,000 Douyin coins.
Shadow bid 31,000,000 Douyin coins.
Li Youqian didn't expect anyone to follow! This was three million!
But after thinking about it, he was relieved; whoever could bid for this first holy dragon descends would definitely gain a large wave of fans and attention.
Why do rich people keep spending money on gifts? Isn't it just for face?
Im Really Rich bid 40,000,000 Douyin coins.
As soon as this price came out, the public screen instantly exploded, even more so than when he had just bid thirty million.
(75) Mu Zhi: “Brother, is it really necessary? This is just a limited-time gift.”
(75) Qing Jiu: “As expected of President Qian, so powerful.”
(75) Fu Chen Shijian: “Holy cow, is this brother getting carried away?”
(75) Qing Jie: “This ID is not mistaken at all; he really is rich.”
Although these people had all spent tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, they had all spent it on streamers.
In an auction like this, if it wasn't for competing for first place, the price generally wouldn't exceed ten million Douyin coins, after all, rich people aren't fools; on the contrary, they are very shrewd.
Live streaming is their hobby, that's right, but spending so much money for a limited-time gift is simply not worth it.
(63) Im Really Rich: “Haha, it's mainly because you brothers and sisters are letting me have it; my little strength is not enough to be seen.”
(63) Im Really Rich: “I started being a streamer because I had nothing to do at home, and this event is also a very good opportunity for exposure, which can help me gain some fans.”
So that's how it was; many tycoons suddenly understood after reading Li Youqian's bullet comments. The first person to win the holy dragon descends can indeed quickly break into the circle and gain a lot of fans.
Except for those tycoons who set their accounts to not allow strangers to follow, other tycoons basically had several million followers.
(Although the number of tycoon fans is not very large, it is not small either.)
(75) Laoye: “Since that's the case, I'll let this first one go.”
(75) Heavenly Book: “I'll let it go too.”
(75) Mei Niang: “Hehe, since you all let it go, then I'll let it go too. Rich little brother, let's play together sometime~”
.....
The top tycoons all gave way, so the remaining rich people and small bosses naturally wouldn't compete, let alone that they couldn't win anyway.
(63) Im Really Rich: “Thank you all for yielding. If you need my help in the future, just let me know.”
User Im Really Rich leveled up to 64, 65, 66, 67, 68.
Ultimately, the first holy dragon descends was acquired by Li Youqian for 40,000,000 Douyin coins, and his account level also reached 68 as a result.
After following the tycoons, Li Youqian exited the auction.
He had already obtained the auction item, so he naturally wouldn't violate the auction rules.
“Congratulations, Host, for completing the task; the reward has been issued.”
“Due to the large amount of emotional value obtained by the Host in the auction, the system has directly upgraded to Level 5.”
System Level 5? This was truly an unexpected surprise!
“System bro, where's my upgrade reward?”
“Don't make noise, it's being prepared. Who the heck knew you'd level up twice?”
“Now, here are two options for you.”
“One. One Tangong Villa (with fifty years of property management fees included).”
“Two. One Jiujiantang Villa (with fifty years of property management fees included) + 100,000,000 RMB.”
“Holy cow, System, how did you become so generous?”
As a native of Modu, he was familiar with both of these villas.
The first is Tangong, the most well-known luxury residence in Modu, and the second, Jiujiantang, is also one of the top five luxury residences in Modu.
Regardless of which one, the price is several hundred million; Tomson Riviera pales in comparison to them.
This kind of thing is not like a Maybach, which, at a mere few million, wouldn't attract attention at all.
This is something worth several hundred million! Isn't the system afraid he'll be captured and interrogated?
“You, stop talking nonsense, just tell me if you want it or not!”
“You don't need to worry about safety; it won't be traced back to you.”
“Hurry up and choose, don't dilly-dally.”
Li Youqian thought it over repeatedly and still chose the second option.
Tangong was good, but it was too eye-catching, while Jiujiantang received much less attention.
What's more, Jiujiantang also came with 100,000,000 RMB. With this 100,000,000, many of Li Youqian's dreams could be directly realized!
“Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Jiujiantang B. A dedicated person will contact you for property transfer.”
“Great, I finally have my own house!”
However, Li Youqian thought of another problem and instantly became less happy.
“Damn it, I just rented a villa!!!”
