Chapter 365: Chapter 363 Live Synchronization

Mr. Yu acted mysteriously, with his two sons by his side, even better at pretending; their expressions revealed nothing, although the three of them hadn’t seen even a shadow.

The father and sons all smiled without showing their teeth, nodding their heads. Yu Zeling even pointed at the appraising area and said, "We’re in a hurry."

The people nearby politely stepped aside and let the trio from the Yu Family pass.

However, someone with sharp eyes saw the small box in Mr. Yu’s hand and, with a bit of insincerity, said, "Such a small box, could it be rare gemstone jewelry?"

"Who knows? Brought over so late, it might not be something very generous."

"Let’s go, I’m still waiting to see the Chi Family’s sculpture."

"You guy, you must have come just for that!"

"So what if I did? It’s not like I’m not paying!"

Several people looked down on the small item Mr. Yu was holding, or maybe it was the auction items today. Although everything had already been appraised, the specifics weren’t known, but rumors were always heard.

The Chi Family’s sculpture was currently very popular and had caught the attention of many sculpture enthusiasts.

A good sculpture was something one might encounter but could not seek.

It was said that last month, the most exquisitely perfect wooden sculptures had entered the interstellar market, the final works of a top master, but unfortunately, they had not been seen.

Today, many people had come to the auction with the purpose of seeing these wooden sculptures.

Today’s auction was said to be organized for charity, but in reality, it involved taking ten percent of the auction proceeds, eighty percent of which would go to charity and twenty percent would be the auction fee.

People attending the auction had begun to enter the hall, taking their seats and waiting for the auction to start.

On the other side, the trio from the Yu Family walked out of the appraisal area, dazed and with glazed eyes.

Just outside, at the entrance of the hall.

Yu Zeming pinched himself hard and mumbled with a blank stare, "It doesn’t hurt, it must be a dream."

"Let go! You’re pinching me!"

Yu Zeling shook his arm, pinched Yu Zeming’s face harder, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts! It really hurts!"

Yu Zeming massaged his cheek, still not quite believing, and turned his head to Mr. Yu, "Dad, you saw it too, right?"

Mr. Yu nodded, hands behind his back, and pointed inside the hall, "Let’s go inside."

Yu Zeming, admiring the walking figure of Mr. Yu in front, said, "Dad’s still the coolest, so calm."

"Really? Didn’t you notice Dad walks with a limp?"

"What?"

Yu Zeming took a closer look and then realized he said, "I didn’t notice at all; I was about to walk the same way."

After this incident, Yu Zeming finally snapped out of it and was suddenly all puffed up and strutting vigorously.

"Bro, let’s go!"

"Blind them with our brilliance!"

Yu Zeling, unusually not disagreeing with Yu Zeming, did agree it was enough to blind them.

What Chi Family sculpture? They’re not even worthy to carry our shoes!

The two brothers walked out proudly, and many people who recognized them inside thought the trio from the Yu Family must have been stimulated somehow.

The elder walked with a matching limp, and the younger ones looked somewhat off too.

When the Yu Family members settled down, before they had a chance to speak, the auction began.

Meanwhile, Shutong Nian and Fu Yunhe were also watching this auction.

Small wooden house, in the usual place where they watched live broadcasts in the kitchen.

At that moment, Fu Yunhe had set up a large virtual screen in his usual broadcasting spot, and for the first time, he sat with the observing group for food and drink to watch the auction.

"Come on, Xiao He, this big peach is for you. You’re our hero, managing to make this auction visible—amazing!"

Nian Shutong openly praised Fu Yunhe for the first time.

Fu Yunhe took the peach given by Nian Shutong with a bit of pride and said, "It’s just a small thing, a small thing."

In fact, such auctions were not supposed to be public, but there were always one or two cameras around. If anything valuable were lost or damaged, it wouldn’t have been a small matter.

He had used these cameras to connect to the auction’s microphone and turned it into a live-streamed event.

Everyone was here now, including Lin Mu, who had been invited by Nian Shutong.

She gave Lin Mu a peach-flavored lollipop and said, "This will make up for it."

Lin Mu simply thanked her and kept it, accepting Nian Shutong’s invitation to watch the auction without any refusal.

"Everyone, help yourselves to some fruit."

Nian Shutong brought out a lot of peaches, strawberries, and grapes and placed them all on the table.

The table now also had popcorn, a plate of braised beef, some roasted sweet potatoes, and washed cucumbers.

Everything was well-prepared.

When everyone saw Yu Laosan and his group enter, the auction began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. Welcome to our annual charity auction event. Every item auctioned today will retain ten percent of its final price..."

The host, who was also the auctioneer, briefly explained the rules, and the auction officially started.

"The first item, donated by Madam Chuan Weibao from the Chuan family, is a piece of jewelry. Please have a look."

Under the camera, a bracelet resembling a diamond shone brilliantly in the light.

The camera then focused on Chuan Weibao, who was wearing an evening gown. She nodded slightly at the camera, smiling.

After viewing the item, the bidding began.

"The opening bid is One Hundred Thousand Star Coins, and each bid must increase by no less than ten thousand Star Coins. Let the bidding begin."

Bidding started, and someone immediately made an offer.

"One hundred twenty thousand Star Coins."

"One hundred thirty thousand."

"One hundred fifty thousand."

...

"Two hundred ten thousand, first call, second call, third call, sold."

The first bracelet was sold for two hundred ten thousand Star Coins, a good start indeed.

Next, many items from different families, some in personal names and others in family names, mostly comprised jewelry, books, calligraphy, and rare ores that could repair Mechas.

Items in personal names were a bit cheaper, and those in family names were more expensive.

Currently, the highest auction amount was fifty-seven million Star Coins, for a copied ancient book.

Nian Shutong looked at the copied book and fell into thought.

Had she missed too many opportunities to make money?

Real ancient books were not even needed here, just copies would suffice.

If she were to use her skills in creating forgeries, making them look old, she could be making a fortune in no time!

This idea remained in Nian Shutong’s mind and was not discarded.

Such items shouldn’t be brought out frequently, as they would seem less valuable, but when she needed money someday or wanted to trick someone gullible, they could prove useful.

The auction continued.

Slowly, it approached the conclusion, and the auctioneer holding a wooden box said to the crowd, "This is the third last item of today’s auction, and it’s very precious."
