Chapter 76 Please Be A Decent PersonThey must continue to partic.i.p.ate in the bidding.
Because if they didn"t strengthen and consolidate their advantage in the number of badges, it was very likely that they would be overtaken by others, and thus all their previous investments would be in vain.
After the fourth round of the auction was over, Lin Beichen was going to laugh like mad.
This batch of badges had brought him a total of 1,100 gold coins.
Plus the gains in the previous three rounds, 40 badges had brought him a total of 2,660 gold coins.
Or he could say that the total sum was RMB 26,600,000 yuan.
This was definitely a number that made Lin Beichen feel dizzy.
And he still kept 40 badges in his hands.
After thinking for a while, Lin Beichen continued his crazy auction.
He took 20 out of the remaining 40 badges in one go…
Seeing that, the other students were going through a complete nervous breakdown.
They had been out of their minds.
They had no brains to think about why such a situation could have happened.
They were just instinctively taking part in the bidding, and kept raising the bids.
The scene was almost out of control.
“Wait a minute. 2,000 gold coins. I"ll pay 2,000 gold coins for the eight badges in your hand.” Li Tao, who had been silent all the time, could no longer remain calm. He planned to take a great gamble and said loudly, “I never offended you, and I even invited you to team up with me again and again. Lin Beichen, you don"t have to refuse my gold coins. If you think the price is not high enough, you can tell me the price that satisfies you. I won"t absolutely d.i.c.ker over the price with you.”
It could be said that Li Tao was very sincere.
Lin Beichen laughed.
“That"s right. You never offended me,” said Lin Beichen.
Li Tao was delighted to hear that.
But immediately, Lin Beichen looked serious, and firmly and decisively added in an unprecedentedly solemn tone, “But you offended Ling Chen, which is much severer than offending me. If for no other reason, your sneak attack on Ling Chen has decided that we can only be enemies in this life, instead of friends. Therefore, I will not give you any Star Badge even if you give me the Cloudy Dream City, or even the North Sea Empire, let alone gold coins!”
Li Tao froze.
All of a sudden, the uproar around quieted down.
Shen Fei s.h.i.+vered in shock. He stared at Lin Beichen with a strange light in his eyes, as if he wanted to entirely memorize this sc.u.m"s face and expressions so that they could be deeply imprinted in his mind.
In Mu Xinyue"s heart, a certain heartstring that she had thought did not exist was also touched fiercely at this moment.
She looked back in a trance. There was something coming to her mind. She could see the flattery and envy on those faces, and also hear the oaths of countless men who had repeatedly expressed their willingness to give up everything for her… But when she thought about it carefully, among these people, there seemed to be only one who really did everything he promised at all hazards and did not require her to pay back what he had done for her.
That was the previous Lin Beichen.
But now, it was this person who treated another girl with the same determination as he had treated her.
At this moment, she lost something forever that she had once owned.
She had thought that she would not care about it at all.
But now, a feeling of quiet, great pain in her heart seemed to tear her whole body apart.
Many female students, at this moment, also looked at Ling Chen with an undisguisedly jealous look.
Ling Chen, the youngest daughter of the Cloudy Dream City"s governor, the peerless genius who was second only to Lin Tingchan in history, and also the most beautiful girl in Cloudy Dream City, deserved to be envied by people of her age.
At this moment, she had owned another one enviable thing.
Ling Chen herself just kept silent and did not say a word.
A touch of unnatural sentiment flashed in the depths of her heart.
She just quietly stood by Lin Beichen. Her white and exquisite face, which was as delicate as a suet jade, was calm and tranquil. She seemed to be far away from, but near the young man who spoke those surprising words.
In the end, Lin Beichen sold out all the remaining 20 out of the 40 badges and got the receipts for loans of 1,800 gold coins—because, in the later stage, only those who were expected to enter the main draw partic.i.p.ated in the bidding. Some students, who could not enter the main draw even if they had bought one or two badges, took the initiative to give up, so the sum of gold coins was not as much as he had imagined.
But Lin Beichen was very satisfied.
The sale of 60 Star Badges had brought him a total of 4,460 gold coins.
There was no doubt that this was the greatest fortune Lin Beichen had ever seen since he came to this world.
Even for some large-scale mercenary groups and large-scale chambers of commerce in Cloudy Dream City, their net profits for one year might not be able to reach this number.
For Lin Beichen, this fortune meant that he could fully charge his phone 446 times.
Even if 100% of the battery could be used up per day, this fortune was enough to support the power consumption for 446 days.
Since he came to the world, the problem of power consumption of the cell phone, which had been the sword of Damocles hanging above Lin Beichen"s head, had finally disappeared temporarily.
“Lin Beichen, do you have any more badges? You must have some, right?”
“I want it. I want it!”
“Give me some now!”
Some of the students became red-eyed and panted. They stared at Lin Beichen and shouted at him without satisfaction.
“The auction is over.”
Lin Beichen"s cold and ruthless words shattered the fantasy of these poor students.
The next second, he took out four more badges, turned around, and handed them to Yue Hongxiang under the scorching gaze.
The latter froze.
“Are… Are they for me?”
The bookish and cla.s.sical girl was completely at a loss.
Lin Beichen smiled and said, “Of course, come on. Take it. These days, if you hadn"t picked some wild fruits and vegetables for me every day, I would have starved to death. As the saying goes, little help brings much return. You can consider the four Star Badges as my payment for the meals.”
Yue Hongxiang completely froze.
She didn"t expect that she could exchange some wild fruits and vegetables she picked every day for four Star Badges.
It was as if she exchanged a few pieces of wild gra.s.s for the same amount of gold bars.
“But… It"s too… too much. I… I can"t…”
The girl stammered out her thought.
Lin Beichen forcefully placed the four badges into her hand and said, “We"re cla.s.smates, and don"t be so polite. Do you know the top three things which can strengthen our friends.h.i.+p? They are…” He opened his mouth and almost blurted out the answer of sleeping with prost.i.tutes together. Fortunately, he suddenly reacted and immediately shut up, saying, “In my heart, the value of those wild fruits and vegetables is much more than gold coins. Only fools will buy badges in gold coins.”
Others: “…”
“We beg you to be a decent person.
“We just paid gold coins for the badges.
“Even if you really think so, you shouldn"t say it out bluntly.”
Yue Hongxiang held the four Star Badges helplessly.
