Chapter 647 - 647 Frantic Bidding
647 Frantic Bidding
After thinking for a moment, the leader of a country slowly stood up and solemnly said, “We offer six hundred billion!”
Huh? Six hundred billion?
At this moment, everyone present was shocked.
Wu Mo also sized him up with a strange look.
Six hundred billion would indeed give them the initiative to win.
After all, in the last compet.i.tion, three hundred billion was enough to win a seat.
However, the situation this time was completely different. There were only five seats this time, which meant that the intensity of the compet.i.tion would be doubled!
However, the development of the matter exceeded expectations. When this person confidently reported six hundred billion, he thought that he could enjoy the fruits of others’ labor.
As soon as he sat down, another person shouted, “I bid eight hundred billion!”
What the h.e.l.l?!
Eight hundred billion? Wasn’t that crazy?
The people present were instantly speechless.
They all knew that in the second auction, only the bald man’s bid reached eight hundred billion. Moreover, he was superior to the others since he was leading by more than two hundred billion.
But this time, the third auction had just begun.
In less than two minutes, a bid of eight hundred billion had appeared. How could the others have a fighting chance?
Immediately, this price made the leaders of many countries give up the idea of competing.
They had originally planned to shout, but after they heard the price… they could not help but smile bitterly. They realized that it not be destined for them.
“Oh, my G.o.d. It’s over. It’s completely over. How can we compete with such a high price?”
Everyone had a melancholic expression on their faces.
They felt that China’s bidding this time was really too much.
With only five seats, how could the other countries compete?
Moreover, why couldn’t China expand this dome to a further place?
What if most of the countries were protected and then charged a certain fee?
Every country had this thought in their minds, that the weak were in the right.
They felt that since their country was weak, China had the obligation and responsibility to protect them.
However, they neglected the research and development of this dome device, which consumed a lot of Wu Mo’s time and energy.
Now that the bid of eight hundred billion was out, it immediately raised the price to a whole new level.
Everyone was silent. They carefully observed the reactions of others.
At this moment, another person stood up and shouted,”I bid 850 billion!”
The price had suddenly risen by fifty billion.
The atmosphere on the field suddenly became heated.
Everyone understood that this bidding was like a compet.i.tion between experts.
This meant that those countries with slightly weaker strength had no chance of competing at all.
They could only act as spectators.
Wu Mo sat on a high spot, his face expressionless, but his eyes revealed a high interest in this matter.
He originally thought that the total profit of five seats would be lower than ten seats.
This meant that it would be very difficult to break the record of trillions this time.
However, he did not expect that there would be a bid of eight hundred billion at the beginning of the auction.
It seemed that the total price of the five seats this time would set a new record.
“Mr. Wu, it looks like your prediction was quite accurate. The five seats have made all the countries go crazy.”
At this moment, an officer beside Wu Mo whispered.
Wu Mo nodded and said, “That’s normal. I told them that this would be the last auction, so of course they would go all out.”
At this moment, another country made a terrifying bid.
“I bid one trillion!”
The price jumped up again and hit the one trillion mark. The other countries were all dumbfounded.
Heavens!
One trillion?
What was going on?
Everyone smiled bitterly and chose to give up completely.
Moreover, not many compet.i.tors could accept this one trillion bid.
The remaining people looked at each other and chose to bid the moderate price of nine hundred billion.
After all, although this one trillion was high and mighty, it was still a small amount.
However, he could only get one seat at most. There were still four seats left.
We won’t fight with you. Let’s fight for the last four, okay?
Seeing this, Wu Mo started to yawn.
Because these people were bidding against each other, the price was hovering around nine hundred billion.
Finally, Wu Mo reminded everyone, “There are only a few moments left before the auction ends. Make a decision as soon as possible!”
The moment Wu Mo said this, the tense atmosphere in the hall was cut out.
Everyone was on guard against the hidden contenders, in case they suddenly advanced at the last moment and swept away their victory.
In order to stop this conspiracy, everyone had to increase their original bid by hundreds of millions.
This was the only way to calm them down.
Finally, the bell rang.
Wu Mo announced the official end of the auction and began to calculate the bids from various countries.
The list of the top five was gradually released. Without a doubt, the first place was the country that had bid one trillion!
They actually paid such a huge price for half a year of dome protection. What a terrible deal!
The national leaders laughed internally and looked down on the foolish guy.
They felt that a price of 1 trillion to buy such rights was simply too expensive.
However, everyone had their own ideals. How could they understand the decision of that country?
Wu Mo announced the top five names, and the leaders of the five countries were ecstatic.
It was as if they had caught the last bus.
This feeling was even more satisfying than the previous two election victories. It felt like an endless sense of accomplishment pervaded his heart.
“Haha. That’s great! Finally, our country is protected by the dome. We don’t have to worry about the invasion of alien civilizations anymore!”
These leaders clenched their fists, and they were filled with joy.
This was the last transformation of the dome.
Therefore, it attracted countless viewers to watch the live broadcast.
“Look over there! The dome is starting to change shape again. This will probably be the last time!”
“Ah! It won’t change shape anymore. I have to see how it does it!”
“Sigh. What a pity! I heard that our country lost. I’m afraid we’ll have to be careful with our mining plans on Eternal Sun.”
Some countries were happy, while others were sad.
The people of the countries that won the election were naturally very happy.
They felt that their country could mine as they pleased on Eternal Sun.
Next, he would definitely receive the blessing of great luck.
The people of the countries that lost the election were worried. They were anxious about the future of their countries…
“Look! The dome is changing shape!”
At this moment, the huge dome device slowly transformed, and its high joints spread out one by one in all directions. They were as sharp as blades.
Then, the dome device gradually expanded and enveloped the five countries in the distance at the same time!
Then, it slowly descended and formed a complete internal structure.
At this moment, the dome device completed its initial transformation.
However, the news from Eternal Sun’s base was shocking.
