Chapter 74 They Were All Stunned“Oh my goodness.
“These people were crazy.”
Even Lin Beichen was also shocked.
The fierce and crazy bidding didn"t stop until the price increased to 70 gold coins.
Xiao Xiao, a cute and piquant girl from the Royal National Junior College, got this last badge at the sky-high price of 70 gold coins. When she signed the loan contract, she blushed probably out of excitement or anxiety about her large loan.
So far, all ten Star Badges had been sold out.
Lin Beichen got a total of 380 gold coins.
It was a huge sum of money in Cloudy Dream City.
It was equivalent to RMB 3,800,000 yuan.
To emphasize, the reason why the author did not write 3.8 million was definitely not to meet the required word count.
If you don"t believe that, think about it carefully. Looking at the four zeros behind the number of “380”, do you feel more shocked? Do you feel satisfied with your life?
“Huh, is this over?”
“No, I haven"t bought one yet.”
“Have I missed the super opportunity of entering the main draw? No, why didn"t I try my best to bid just now? I"m so stupid.”
“I regret it…
Those who didn"t get the star badges came to themselves at this time, regretfully thumping their chests and stamping their feet.
The bidding just now was too crazy.
Especially when they bid for the last one, many of the students were like gamblers whose eyes became red because of losing money. They were completely crazy. They shouted their bids at the top of their voices, but it was too late. They just watched the last chance slip away.
Yue Hongxiang stood quietly behind Lin Beichen.
She looked absolutely not calm.
Seeing that everyone was frantically bidding for the badge, she also had desire in her heart.
A small badge was enough to completely rewrite many people"s fate.
Especially for a girl like her who came from a poor family.
If she could have a chance of entering the main draw of the Talent Battle, her life would be rewritten.
With such a resume, she would have more choices when she graduated in the future, whether she would enter a higher education inst.i.tution for further study or find a job in the society.
What"s more, for the boys and girls in the North Sea Empire, it was a supreme glory.
But, she had no money.
She couldn"t afford a badge at the lowest price of ten gold coins, let alone partic.i.p.ate in the bidding.
Because she was poor, she didn"t even buy the White Jade Bone Setting Ointment. She partic.i.p.ated in the preliminary with the still wounded wrist, so she was excluded from many teams. She couldn"t find any partners and had to hold on silently.
But even so, Yue Hongxiang didn"t ask Lin Beichen for the badge by right of the slight tacit understanding which had been developed between Lin Beichen and her in the tent.
Because she was the only one who knew how difficult it was for Lin Beichen to find the ten badges.
She knew that Lin Beichen had a tough time in digging up the badges these days. He didn"t even have time to eat and sleep, so every day, he appeased his hunger with the wild fruits and wild vegetables she picked. Taking a closer look, she could notice that in the past ten days, Lin Beichen had almost lost a lot of weight.
What could she rely on to ask for the things that others had worked so hard to get?
Girls should love themselves and be self-dignified.
With a faint smile on her face, Yue Hongxiang felt happy for Lin Beichen.
However, there was a question coming to her mind—
Lin Beichen had auctioned off all ten badges at a time. Didn"t he maintain some for himself? Or didn"t he want to enter the main draw of the Talent Battle?
Ling Chen looked calm and indifferent.
Except that she was surprised for a moment to see that Lin Beichen took out ten Star Badges at a time, she didn"t say anything about the auction at other times, no matter how busy the auction was.
With an overbearing CEO"s personality, she indeed was as cold as a snowy mountain.
At the same time, Wu Xiaofang and Mu Xinyue"s faces clouded.
Both of them had also partic.i.p.ated in the bidding just now.
Unfortunately, their bids were not compet.i.tive at all and were then overwhelmed by those of other students.
Wu Xiaofang was still okay, because he knew that he had offended Lin Beichen so badly that there was no chance for him to ease the tension. Therefore, although he was desperate and regretful, there was nothing he could do about it.
Mu Xinyue felt as if 10,000 Tie"e Ants were gnawing on her heart. The feeling of regret was like a vine that crazily twined around her whole body and mind.
She regretted it.
She really regretted it.
If she had not been so determined to break up with Lin Beichen and abandoned him mercilessly that day, Lin Beichen would love her ardently and a.s.sent to her every proposal. As long as she mentioned it, Lin Beichen would definitely be glad to give her ten badges, wouldn"t him?
What should she do now?
Lin Beichen would never sell all the badges at a time. After all, after he entered the main draw, the best way to solve his dilemma in Cloud Dream City was to get a Talent Token. He must keep at least one or two badges.
“If now I beg him, give him a glimmer of hope and become friendlier to him, maybe I can ask him for one or two of the badges he secretly keeps.
“Although he seemed to be ruthless before, it must be because he could not get me that he hated me.
“As long as I"m willing to make a little substantial sacrifice, I"ll definitely be able to retrieve everything, right?
“After all, I"m the girl who Lin Beichen first loved.
“As for Ling Chen…”
Over the past few days, Mu Xinyue had observed that Lin Beichen had been avoiding this proud princess. There must be no chance of romance between the two of them.
Gradually, an idea came into Mu Xinyue"s mind.
She pondered, a.n.a.lyzed, and weighed in her heart.
“Ahhhhhhhh, oh my G.o.d! I missed such a good opportunity. Please give me another chance. I won"t miss it…”
A student was deeply immersed in regret, looking up to the sky and crying out in sorrow.
Many students with empty hands felt the same.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
“Hey, in fact, you don"t have to pray to G.o.d. It would be better if you pray to me. We just finished the first round of the auction of the star badges, and you were so enthusiastic that I was almost moved to tears. Therefore, in order to thank the new and old customers for their pursuit of the star badges, after struggling hard with myself, I decided to take out ten more badges for the second round of the auction. Let me tell you, such an opportunity is really scarce. It"s the last chance, and I"ll sell my cherished badges. You will be benefited if you buy it…”
As he said this, everyone else was surprised to see that Lin Beichen took out another ten star badges from his arms.
Mu Xinyue was stunned.
Shen Fei was stunned, too.
Li Tao was stunned, too.
Tao Wancheng was stunned, too.
Yue Hongxiang was stunned, too.
Even Ling Chen, the Daughter of Destiny, was stunned, too.
The students… were all stunned.
