If that's the case, then he absolutely couldn't let Shi Liang succeed.
"One hundred million!"
Qin Chen chuckled and spoke again.
Wow!
This time, the crowd erupted in shock, vibrating with disbelief.
One hundred million, that's one hundred million.
One hundred million middle-grade true stones, that’s not a small amount for a Martial Emperor. Is it worth it just for a companion?
"Could it be this kid is new to the Taigu Residence and doesn't know the rules here? A companion is just a companion; is he thinking too much?"
"In the past, the price for a first companion was around ten to twenty million, and now this has multiplied several times!"
"Rich and extravagant, the people from the Xuanyuan Empire are indeed wealthy."
The crowd was astonished, whispering among themselves.
"I'm offering two hundred million!"
Shi Liang gritted his teeth, almost shouting.
"Five hundred million!" Qin Chen raised the bid directly, without the slightest hesitation.
There was no way; he had nothing else but money.
"Pfft!"
The crowd was utterly speechless.
What a prodigal, this is simply too wasteful.
"Hey, is that Shi Liang still going to raise the bid?"
After Qin Chen made his offer, he didn’t forget to provoke the other party, especially emphasizing the word "Shi."
Everyone was dizzy; this guy was simply a madman.
However, although this person was from the Xuanyuan Empire, which had overwhelming strength, he was still on the territory of Guhua City. Was he really not afraid of being attacked and lying dead in the streets?
Still too young, not knowing how to hold back.
Shi Liang's forehead was bulging with veins. Although he came with a mission and several hundred million middle-grade true stones were not much for an imperial-level force, spending so much on just a companion was a bit excessive.
"You’re ruthless. It's just a companion; what's the harm in letting you have it?" Shi Liang snorted coldly, pretending to be generous and claimed to give it to Qin Chen. "No money is no money; why talk about giving?" Qin Chen scoffed, "What a joke about the three major forces of Guhua City, just a bunch of paupers. But I suppose it’s true, what top forces can come out of a small Guhua City? Taking out one or two hundred million middle-grade true stones is probably their limit."
Once Qin Chen said this, Shi Liang's face turned even uglier. He almost couldn’t hold back from raising the bid again, but in the end, he still restrained himself.
These days, the three major families of Guhua City were competing fiercely, trying to become the sole force in this city. Consuming so many middle-grade true stones on such a trivial companion was not worth it at all.
"Kid, if you have the ability, just keep being arrogant."
With a cold snort, Shi Liang suppressed his anger and stopped bidding.
"Five hundred million, the Young Hero is indeed bold, you open my eyes indeed. Dear guest, please wait in the room; we will send the person over shortly."
The voluptuous woman smiled, while the elegant woman beside her kept glancing at Qin Chen's loft, her beautiful eyes sparkling, evidently curious about the young man who spent five hundred million on her.
Next, the auction continued.
However, those remaining didn’t bid as high as Qin Chen. The prices offered were not astonishing, mostly in the millions of middle-grade true stones, and the expensive ones sold for just around ten to twenty million, merely to show some interest.
Soon, this batch of women left, and on the high platform, a group of dancers appeared again, purely entertainers, singing and dancing in harmony.
Of course, those who wanted to have companions in the Taigu Residence would be arranged, just not in the form of an auction.
"I guess that lady will be here soon; I wonder how much she knows about the Piao Miao Palace."
Qin Chen silently drank, watching the beautiful dancers on the stage, lost in thought. Suddenly, he heard soft footsteps behind him. Before he could turn around, a supple body, as if boneless, pressed against his back. A shiver ran through Qin Chen as blood surged within him.
