Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 819 - : Start the Auction
Chapter 819 -819: Start the Auction
Qin Hao squinted his eyes upon hearing those words, low-grade Mecha?
The large screen displayed a video of the Dark Mecha performance test. Qin Hao looked closely; it wasn’t much worse than low-grade Mechas on Earth. Of course, if it were a one-on-one battle, Earth Mechas would definitely have the advantage.
Almost everyone present saw this kind of Mecha for the first time and were deeply shocked by the strength of several powerful families. It was terrifying.
Though it’s not big, its destructive power was astonishing, especially against battleships. It was like a battleship killer.
Members of the Bai Family, the Du Family, and the Ji Family saw it and their eyes lit up. They came here precisely for this item.
The host laughed and said to the crowd, “The starting bid for the Dark Mecha is ten billion star credits. Each bid increment must be no less than twenty million. The auction starts now.”
“Eleven billion.” The Bai Family Head immediately called out.
“Eleven billion five hundred million.” Someone on the first floor called out next, a foreign merchant.
Many people sitting in the first-floor hall were foreign merchants or people passing through this place. Do not underestimate these people; among them might be someone with extensive connections.
Although local families were strong, they wouldn’t easily provoke those foreign merchants.
Bidding for the Mecha was very intense, quickly escalating to fifteen billion star credits. By this time, fewer people called out bids, but there were still about ten individuals.
As the price climbed ever higher, fewer people bid. When the price reached twenty billion, only members of the Bai Family, the Du Family, and the Ji Family remained.
The three families were determined to win this Mecha, competing fiercely.
The Ji Family were the City Lords of Jiangchuan City. This powerful item could not be allowed to fall into the hands of other families within Jiangchuan City.
The price kept soaring, nearing the thirty billion mark, causing great pressure on the three families.
Though their family assets were considerable, their liquid funds were limited, with many other expenditures requiring funds. Now it came down to who had more liquid assets.
Ultimately, the Dark Mecha was auctioned to the Du Family for thirty-five billion. The faces of those in the Bai Family and the Ji Family boxes turned a bit ugly.
After concluding the transaction, the host continued: “The next auction item is sure to be liked by everyone, the Elf Clan Princess. I won’t say much; the promotional ads said it clearly. The Elf Clan has only seven princesses; this is the sixth princess. In the entire galaxy, there are just a few, and all are captivatingly beautiful.”
Elf Clan’s sixth princess, Jiao Rou, rose slowly from beneath the auction stage. She was unshackled, looking weak and delicate, dressed in pink, making her seem even more fragile and captivating. Her breathtaking beauty invoked a strong protective urge.
Many people held their breath upon seeing the Elf Clan’s sixth princess, Jiao Rou. She was the most beautiful woman all present had ever seen.
The host smiled and said, “She’s truly breathtakingly beautiful. Even I am deeply moved and wish to hold her protectively in my arms. Rest assured, this Elf Clan princess is absolutely authentic and untouched by anyone. If she has been touched, our auction house will compensate with ten times the auction price.”
That statement was what most concerned everyone. If she had been touched, her price would significantly drop, causing many to lose interest.
…
“Starting bid is ten billion star credits. In the entire galaxy, there are only a few Elf Clan princesses, making this one extremely rare. It is said that the fleets of Divine Wind Group on the Elf Clan’s original planet were destroyed and many Elves were rescued. Hence, Elf Clan beauties’ prices will keep rising, especially the incredibly rare Elf Clan princesses.”
This news shocked everyone. The Elves controlled by Divine Wind Group were rescued?
This starting bid is already alongside the Dark Mecha, but Mechas can be produced in large quantities, while the Elf Clan princesses are few and can’t be publicized like Mechas.
Thus, in terms of rarity, the Elf Clan princess slightly outranks, which is why she is being auctioned after the Mecha.
“Ten billion five hundred million,” someone on the first floor called out.
“Eleven billion.”
“Eleven billion eight hundred million.”
…
This time, the number of bidders on the first floor was even greater than for the Mecha, indicating the strong attraction of the sixth princess Jiao Rou.
Bai Family Head Bai Xingbo also liked her and instructed his men to bid, “Fifteen billion.”
Du Zilong from the Du Family also liked her but did not bid again due to the high price and limited liquid funds.
The Ji Family bid, “Sixteen billion.”
Many more foreign merchants on the first floor were bidding. They had money; they just didn’t find anything they liked initially.
Numerous powerful individuals were on the first floor.
The price was slowly approaching twenty billion. Qin Hao had not bid yet; Luna looked at him, her eyes filled with concern.
“Twenty billion,” came a bid from the Ji Family’s box.
“Twenty-one billion,” a middle-aged man on the first floor countered firmly.
Many recognized him as a member of the Zhou Family from the Radiant Kingdom, whose strength surpassed that of the Bai Family and Du Family, though such cross-national comparisons hold little significance unless the strength is vastly superior.
“Twenty-two billion,” the Bai Family continued bidding.
“Twenty-two billion five hundred million,” someone from a box on the second floor couldn’t sit still and had to bid.
Generally, those bidding later hold greater power, with earlier bids just warming up.
“Twenty-two billion seven hundred million.”

Qin Hao pressed a button on his seat and said, “Thirty billion.”
His voice spread throughout the auction house through the speaker system, shocking everyone, who all turned to look.
Even many people in the second-floor boxes focused their attention on Qin Hao.
Thirty billion? He raised it to thirty billion in one go, showing the bidders up.
Du Zilong and Bai Xingbo saw Qin Hao’s face and were momentarily stunned. This was the man who had crippled both their sons’ legs!
The host looked a bit excited, “Thirty billion first call. This gentleman is quite impressive. Any higher bids?”
“Thirty billion two hundred million.”
The middle-aged man on the first floor continued bidding.
Those in the second-floor boxes quickly followed, “Thirty billion five hundred million.”
Nearby Qin Hao, a fat man was momentarily stunned upon seeing him, “Damn, why is he here too?”
“Brother, do you know this person? Where is he from?” someone nearby asked curiously.
After all, someone able to call out thirty billion in one go must be of significant stature.
