Many of the snacks that Xing Mo bought were ones unique to Vermi, such as a pink juice, a soft and springy dessert, and some fragrant and delicious exotic animal meat. Xing Mo deliberately bought a little of each, filling the entire table.
Lin Luo cheered and rushed over, picking up snacks and feasting on them.
Seeing Lin Luo eating happily, Xing Mo was equally happy himself.
“Brother Xing, it’s delicious! You try it too!”
“Okay…”
After the two of them had eaten all the food they bought, Lin Luo became full and sleepy. With his slightly bulging stomach, he laid down on the sofa and quickly started snoring.
Xing Mo bemusedly carried him onto the bed and took a nap with his arms around him.
********
It’s one thing to not want to attract attention, but they couldn’t simply stop bidding for the sake of getting out of the limelight, right? Earning money or not aside, Lin Luo was reluctant to give up the points that were able to be obtained after cutting the stones…
In desperation, he could only bite the bullet and continue to participate in the open auction.
On the fourth day of the auction, Lin Luo took away another two pieces of jadeite which revealed a piece of sunny green ice jade and a boxwood leaf green hibiscus jade worth 7 million. Fortunately, on this day, someone had won a piece of jadeite at a jadeite stall outside the open auction that had revealed a glass type jade which diverted the attention of the masses for him. Unfortunately it also made the people who came to participate in the open auction much more enthusiastic.
Every day they walked along the road, there was a feeling of people everywhere.
Since the first time Lin Luo used his ability to turn into his beast form in order to to avoid others’ attention, the two became more adept in putting it to use. He even let Xing Mo hide him and secretly used his beast form to go to the hidden bid area to see the jadeite a few times, which was very clever.
Soon it was the last day of the open bidding. This also meant that the hidden bidding was about to end, so Lin Luo had to finish placing his bids on the hidden bidding lots.
Lin Luo filled in the number of the hidden bid jadeite that he was looking at on the electronic bid sheet, and after careful consideration, filled in the appropriate price according to his own estimate.
Because of his special ability, Lin Luo was able to see the energy color in the aura of the jade inside the jadeite and make a rough estimate based on that. Although it was not entirely accurate, it would at least be close. For those pieces that had exteriors that looked good, it was estimated that there would be other people who would bid highly on them too. The price he filled in on the bid sheet was based on the price estimated by himself, with a reduction of 30% to 40%, so as to ensure that he would still turn a profit.
As for those jadeite with average looking exteriors, the competition was not expected to be too great, so the price he filled in was lower.
The only special thing was that piece of carbonized jadeite. Just in case, Lin Luo directly filled in the price of 20 million.
Most people may not have been able to discover the special features of this piece of jadeite, so in terms of the exterior of that piece of carbonized jadeite, this was a very high price.
To his surprise, he met Andre in front of the hidden bidding box.
“Andre? Are you here to bid too?” Lin Luo looked at the electronic bid sheet in Andre’s hand in surprise, and was very curious why he, a jadeite merchant, would also participate in the hidden bidding auction.
“I’m here to block the bid.” Andre didn’t hide it, but directly explained his purpose.
“Block the bid?” Lin Luo didn’t quite understand the meaning of this word.
It turned out that jadeite merchants would also participate in bidding in order to prevent their jadeite from being sold at a price lower than their ideal price. This way, other people would have to bid higher than the merchants themselves if they wanted to buy the jadeite.
“So that’s it!” Lin Luo nodded vigorously, and then he suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked anxiously, “Andre, what is your general price for carbonized jadeite?”
Lin Luo worried that the Federation’s and Empire’s prices and gambling standards may be different. In the event that the Federal jadeite merchants value carbonized jadeite more than expected and filled in a high price to block the bid, it would be bad.
“It depends on how they look? The few pieces of jadeite I brought this time are all of the best quality in my hands, so I filled in the price of no less than 10 million. But this time, I am not the only Federal jadeite merchant who came to bid. I think the price they filled in would be higher than mine.” Andre paused and said, “Why? Do you have any carbonized jadeite that you are interested in? Then I suggest you fill in the price higher.”
“Thank you, Andre!!” Lin Luo hurriedly took out a few more electronic bid sheets, quickly filled in the new prices on them, and then threw them into the bid box.
Fortunately, he met Andre. If the bid had been blocked by the merchant because the price was too low, then he would really cry to death.
If it weren’t for the fear of standing out too much, he really wanted to fill in 100 million directly. Even if it was a loss, he was willing to take it.
He must take that piece of carbonized jadeite one way or another. He really couldn’t take any risks with that piece of jadeite…

After gathering the seven-color jades, a “goddess” with colorful hair, colorful eyes and colorful skin came slowly in colorful clothes: Stupid mortal, did you call me? Come on, do you want me to make you as beautiful as me, or three thousand harems like me?
