Reborn as a demon, I became a totem as a full-time mage

Chapter 146 The Auction Begins

On the evening of August 8th, Lingling and Wang Yu, who had just woken up from catching up on their sleep after traveling most of the night yesterday, packed up, got dressed, and put on masks.

Then they each walked out of the room, met at the elevator entrance, and went directly to the hotel's underground parking lot.

There, a black Audi with license plate number ending in 855 was parked.

After showing a special invitation printed with a golden dragon pattern, surrounded by gold threads, and with an overall black velvet background to the man in a black suit who was standing respectfully next to the Audi car, the two of them successfully boarded the car and headed to the mysterious underground auction. Meet the special car
"Dear sir and madam, the venue is a bit far away from here. The car is equipped with champagne, red wine, ice cream, etc. You two can take whatever you like."

After Wang Yu and Lingling boarded the car, the driver in black turned his head and bowed slightly.

"Let's drive!" Lingling said coldly in a thicker voice.

"My pleasure~!" The driver in black bowed respectfully again after hearing this, then stopped talking and concentrated on igniting the car and driving.

The black Audi sped along, circling along the road, and finally stopped in a shabby-looking warehouse area on the outskirts of Hangzhou.

As night falls, everything is dark. In this inconspicuous corner, a mysterious underground auction is being held as scheduled.

Soon Lingling and Wang Yu took the elevator again to the third underground floor under the guidance of the man in black, and then he quietly retreated.

Wang Yu followed the instructions on the invitation letter and knocked on the door in front of him three times. Then the door slowly opened, revealing the scene inside.

The auction venue is a huge circular space with dim lights and an ambiguous orange-red glow.

The walls are covered with famous paintings and antiques, exuding an ancient charm.

The venue was crowded, and the distinguished guests all wore masks, chatting in low voices with the people around them, and exchanging mysterious glances with each other.

The wonderful combination of Wang Yu and Lingling, one big and one small, did not attract too many people's attention.

In the center of the auction table, a capable female auctioneer was sitting upright, waiting for the auction moment to arrive.

The female auctioneer is not dressed as charmingly as in the TV novels, but is dressed in formal clothes, giving people an extremely professional and reliable feeling.

Wang Yu and Lingling randomly found a seat in a corner and sat down. After a while, a waiter came forward and handed them an auction catalog.

The catalog lists a variety of precious items, including powerful magic tools, natural and earthly treasures, rare cultural relics, valuable jewelry, rare works of art, and more.

Each item is assigned a mysterious number, indicating their identity at the auction.

Wang Yu was surprised to find that his own auction item was placed at No. 10 from the bottom.

This shows that there are at least ten items worth over [-] million in this auction.

"As expected of Old Man Bao, this is a big fight!!!"

According to the time shown on the invitation letter, there is still half an hour before the auction officially starts.

So Wang Yu quietly looked around while enjoying the exquisite desserts on the table.

As for Lingling, she had obviously participated in such occasions several times. She was not interested in everything around her, so she lowered her head and continued to fiddle with her phone.

Just looking at it, Wang Yu suddenly found someone who looked a little familiar.

No, it should be said that he was someone who had a similar impression of someone in his memory.

It was a handsome blond man wearing a white suit, chatting with three or four elegant girls around him.His eyebrows are long, his nose is high, and his lips are slightly thin, revealing a noble temperament.

The white suit is tailored to fit, and every fold on the clothes is just right. It seems to express the craftsman's exquisite skills. It is much more stylish than Wang Yu's casual casual clothes.

There is a brilliant diamond on his tie, which exudes charming light, and there is an exquisite platinum ring on his slender finger, which shows his taste and status.

Although he wore a black mask on his face, his face was covered so that no one could see his true face.

But just from his elegant and calm steps and conversation, no one would doubt the amazing appearance under the mask.

"This eye-catching hair color, this sultry temperament, this kind of calm and composed behavior despite being surrounded by beauties, and even the ability to make a few teasing remarks, it all looks like Zhao Manyan."

Wang Yu guessed that as the second son of the Zhao Group, it was normal for him to participate in such an auction.

"Forget it, we'll find out if he's that turtle grandson on the day he enters school."

Wang Yu gave a bad laugh, immediately looked away from the blond man, and continued to deal with the ice cream in front of him.
After a while, the auction bell rang and the auction officially began.

Under the dim light, people's eyes were drawn to the central exhibition stand, where the first auction item was placed.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the first one is so heavy, it's a bit of a luxury to use this to warm up~"

Although Wang Yu already knew the order of the auction, he was still a little stunned.

The female auctioneer announced in a deliberately low voice: "Everyone, what is displayed in front of you now is an extremely rare blue and white porcelain vase from the Tang Dynasty, which has a history of thousands of years."

The body of the blue and white porcelain bottle presents a charming blue color and is surrounded by exquisite cloud patterns, exuding an indescribable classical atmosphere.

The crowd in the audience immediately became commotion, raising their number plates to express their interest in this treasure.

"The starting price is 500 million! Each bid increase must not be less than 50." The auctioneer said in a deep voice.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the auction venue became tense.The wealthy and antique collectors waited with bated breath for the bidding to begin.

"550 million!" A mysterious man wearing sunglasses quickly raised the number plate in his hand.

"Six million!" A gorgeously dressed lady followed closely, showing her determination to win.

"750 million!" An old voice directly added 150 million, just to make the beautiful young woman in his arms smile.

"800 million!" Another big boss took action
The atmosphere at the auction became more and more enthusiastic, the bidding prices soared, and those buyers with strong financial resources joined the battle one after another, refusing to give in to each other.

Finally, after a fierce competition, a mysterious rich man bought this blue and white porcelain vase at a high price of 1200 million.

The auctioneer banged his gavel and announced that the deal was done.

The moment the deal was concluded, there was loud applause from the audience.

Upon seeing this, the masked rich man who just took the photo picked up his wine glass and stood up to salute everyone. Everyone present agreed, and the scene became completely lively.

Then the female auctioneer began to introduce the auction items one by one. Her voice was full of temptation and was irresistible.

The distinguished guests raised their special auction signs one after another and competed to bid. The entire venue was filled with a tense and warm atmosphere, like a battlefield.
