"Fine. But don't make any ridiculous sky-high bids. Make sure you bid just a little higher than the previous bidder," Severin agreed in the end.
"Five million and sixty thousand!" a woman stood up in the hall below and raised the bid by en thousand high-grade spiritual stones.
It was Megan's first time participating in an auction, so she was understandably a little excited. She was very much looking forward to stealing the show, especially in a place where the bidding price would attract the attention of many people.
She smiled and then shouted, "Five million and seventy thousand dollars!"
Sure enough, many people looked at her as soon as she placed her bid.
"The bid came from VIP Room One! They're finally making a move."
"They did not seem that interested even though the first two items were very valuable. I suppose this third-grade low-rank spiritual herb has attracted their attention."
"Tsk, tsk. Those women up there are super-hot. Do they all belong to that man? Well, maybe that older one isn't, but the rest should be his."
"Five million and twenty-one thousand dollars!" Megan remembered Severin's advice to avoid increasing the price too much, so she reminded herself to bid only 10,000 more than Jeremy's bid.
Jeremy was a little stunned. He grimaced at Megan and said loudly so everyone could hear him, "Oh, I guess the people in VIP Room One don't have that much money. They seem to be bidding in increments of ten thousand because they have a limited budget! Hahaha!"
Megan immediately glared at Jeremy. "What's it to you, anyway? The rule was to bid in increments of at least ten thousand, and I'm abiding by those rules perfectly! You don't need to be such a busybody!"
"Hehe, just admit that you're poor. I won't waste my time with you. I'm bidding six million spiritual stones!" Jeremy raised the bid by several hundred thousand to show his dominance.
