Chapter 1224: When the Water Is Too Clear, There Are No Fish
As the passionate music blares!
The elevating platform in the center of the auction hall rises sharply, with the lights focused on it!
Pang Badi, wearing a python-leather suit, sunglasses, chewing on a cigar, and holding a golden microphone!
He raises his hand and shouts!
✧*｡(๑▀ᗜ▀)°⋋✧*｡
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Baihua Grand Competition!"
"Gold Pang Badi extends the highest respect to all present!"
"The whole venue! Cheers, screams? Oh yeah~"
As Pang Badi roars with his tongue sticking out, the atmosphere group planted throughout the venue starts screaming wildly! Shouting!
There are even those crying, fainting—such people are usually paid extra!
The atmosphere is instantly heated up, and enthusiastic applause rings out in the venue!
Jiang Nan's eyes twitch! Good lord, Pang Badi knows how to stir things up, huh?
There's even an atmosphere group?
Luo De raises an eyebrow: (๑◔ٹ◔ิ๑) "Brother Pang? My Lan Bing came here for the grand finale treasure. What exactly is the treasure, making it so mysterious?"
"Give us a hint?"
As soon as Luo De speaks, many people chime in, joining the fun!
Pang Badi laughs heartily: "I guarantee with my character that this grand finale treasure will exceed everyone's expectations!"
"If I give away the secret, it won't be fun anymore. Everyone here today is doing me, Pang Badi, a favor, and I will ensure you don't leave empty-handed!"
"Come! Bring out the bonuses! For a good start!"
As he speaks, he snaps his fingers!
The next moment, countless white paper sheets fall from the ceiling of the venue, densely packed, floating down like snowflakes!
Under the light's reflection, it looks extremely shocking!
[$̲̅(̲̅๐･᷄ὢ･᷅)̲̅$̲̅]×1,000,000
Flutter flutter~
Gasps erupt from the crowd!
=͟͟͞͞(꒪口꒪‧̣̥̇) "Damn? What's this being scattered? Sigh—dollars? It's dollars!"
∑(°口°๑) "Oh my god! A rain of money? Baihua is insanely generous? This move must be over a million dollars, right?"
✧*｡٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و✧*｡ "Haha! Brother Pang is awesome! This bonus is way too solid!"
As the money rain falls, the atmosphere in the venue reaches its peak!
However, no one reaches out to pick it up—after all, who among those present doesn't have some status?
Even if they pick it up, how much can they get? It's mainly about losing face! Not worth the two cents!
What matters is the vibe!
Jiang Nan is shocked! Before the auction even starts, he's already throwing away millions of dollars?
٩(˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅๑)۶ "Baihua is awesome! I'm blowing this up! Thanks for the money rain, Boss Pang!"
(๑•̌▿•̑๑) "None of you are picking it up? If you're not picking it up, I'll take it!"
Saying that, he stands on a chair with a pacifier in his mouth, snapping his fingers wildly!
Void black holes bloom above the auction hall, controlled by Jiang Nan's suction power!
The just-falling money rain is all sucked into a clump!
Jiang Nan opens a space wormhole, grabbing large handfuls of dollars and stuffing them into the alternate dimension!
He can barely keep up himself, and Lan beside him turns her little hands into blurs, also helping stuff money into Jiang Nan's alternate dimension!
(•'益'•۶)۶[$̲̅(̲̅･᷄ὢ･᷅๐)̲̅$̲̅]
In this moment, the entire venue falls silent. The just-heated atmosphere dissipates completely!
Pang Badi's eyes twitch—who does things like that?
Just scattered a million dollars, and he's swiped it all!
[From Pang Badi's Resentment Points +1000!]
The money rain hasn't even hit the ground yet!
Luo De beside him looks disdainful—this guy really doesn't care about grabbing the pacifier in public!
After all, he's the boss of Pugongying. With that kind of status, he still picks up money?
Yao Hong covers her face—weren't they supposed to boost Pugongying's reputation?
This is even more embarrassing!
Why is he so eager to pick up money?
Tu Na sneers: "Pfft—country bumpkin! Never seen money before? Attending an auction like this? You embarrass me! Have some shame!"
Jiang Nan flips Tu Na the middle finger!
凸(ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅)凸
"Y'all have face, I don't, huh? Hey—hit me then? Dead dog!"
Tu Na: (ꐦ｀益´) "You..."
[From Tu Na's Resentment Points +1000!]
However, many people's eyes redden. If Jiang Nan does it like this, he's still making a good amount!
A million dollars is still a decent sum! Why didn't I think of that?
If there's a next time, I'll throw away my face too!
Pang Badi laughs loudly: "Brother Jiang is quite skilled, but my Baihua Grand Competition isn't just about one bonus!"
"Everyone, get hyped up for me!"
The next moment, the ceiling rustles, and a bunch of golden objects fall in sheets!
Exclamations: (*ﾟﾛﾟ) "Sigh—gold coins? It's gold coins? Must be tens of thousands, right?"
At this moment, many people in the auction hall start thinking actively!
That's worth quite a bit. Since Jiang Nan doesn't care about face, why should we?
Go for it!
Jiang Nan, his eyes full of excitement, raises his arm and shouts!
٩(๑ʘ̆ヮʘ̆)۶ "Baihua is the best! Thanks, Boss Pang, for throwing coins! Such a coin-throwing boss—I've never seen this in my life!"
"Haha, today I'm really seeing the world!"
As he speaks, he raises his hand and releases a space wormhole. The gold coins falling from the ceiling don't miss a single one—all fall into it!
They land on Jiang Nan's head, and then he sticks the space wormhole right next to the alternate dimension's entrance!
Perfect transition—all the thrown coins go into Jiang Nan's pocket!
(◦థжథ)σ "Pfft—"
Liu Hua can't hold it in, shaking like a vibration mode, laughing nonstop!
Qian Ben Ying gives Liu Hua a hard knock on the head!
(ꐦᵒ̴̶̷̥́皿ᵒ̴̶̷̣) "Hold! Hold it back! Don't laugh! You'll blow our cover!"
Liu Hua quickly picks up her knocked-off hat, covering the exposed antenna hair!
(ﾉ)ж(ヾ) "No—he... pfft—coin-throwing!"
Not just Liu Hua, many in the venue start laughing!
Pang Badi's forehead bursts two veins!
(ꐦʘ̆益ʘ̥̆ꐦ)
No need to guess—this guy is cleverly insulting me!
[From Pang Badi's Resentment Points +1000!]
Took my coins and insulted me in the process?
But he can't fault Jiang Nan—he is indeed thanking...
Yet, why does this money feel so unjustly spent?
[From Pang Badi...]
What's the point of hyping the atmosphere? Let's just start!
This guy is just a troublemaker! But with Jiang Nan's momentum, he can't escape it!
Pang Badi laughs loudly: "I see you all are getting impatient, so let's start directly. Alpha, the stage is yours next!"
Saying that, he walks directly to his exclusive seat!
Jiang Nan grins slyly—if I can't beat you openly, I'll annoy you to death!
And I'm earning resentment points—this life is getting more and more interesting!
Alpha, in her starry gown, rises on the lift!
On it is a Spirit Pearl rich in spiritual energy!
"Starlight-level Island Turtle Spirit Pearl! I won't say much else—you all have discerning eyes!"
"Starting bid: 30 million dollars!"
Everyone's interest is piqued—starting with a Starlight-level Spirit Pearl?
That's packed with value!
As soon as Alpha finishes, Jiang Nan immediately raises his paddle!
(｡ﾟωﾟ)ﾂ "One million dollars, plus 30,000 gold coins!"
Pang Badi, who just drank some beer to soothe his throat, sprays the entire mouthful onto his own pants!
Pfft ꉂꉂ(˃᷄ε˂᷅|||)
Coughing violently!
[From Pang Badi's Resentment Points +1001!]
You damn—
Using the money you just picked up from me to bid on my treasure?
What's the difference between that and stealing from me directly?
Might as well just give it to you for free!
Yao Hong is stunned—Boss Nan Shen is too skilled, isn't he?
However, Jiang Nan's bid isn't too advantageous and is quickly surpassed by others!
It's eventually won by a fat middle-aged man for 128 million dollars!
The second item appears, and as soon as the starting bid is announced!
(͡°͜ʖ͡°)۶ "One million dollars plus 30,000 gold coins! The ones I just picked up! All in!"
Pang Badi: !!!
Do you really have to emphasize that again?
Don't I have any face?
For the next dozen or so items, no matter what appears, Jiang Nan must shout!
Whether it's useful to him or not—it's all just picked-up money anyway, so spending it doesn't hurt at all!
But as Jiang Nan's bids are all those same ones, the people around start looking at Pang Badi differently!
They can't help but whisper!
"Hehehe—the boss of Baihua really shot himself in the foot!"
"As the saying goes: when the water is too clear, there are no fish; when a man is too shameless, he is invincible! Every time Jiang Nan bids, it slaps Boss Pang's face!"
"Haha, this move is savage. Let's see if Boss Pang is willing to give it for free!"
At this moment, Pang Badi's resentment points are being farmed like crazy!
This Jiang Nan is here to cause trouble!
(ꐦ⚆益⚆ꐦ) "Tsk—go! Just give him something random so he can spend those damned things! Don't let him bid again!"
Alpha receives the order, and at this moment, on stage, a Starlight-level War Rhino Spirit Pearl is being auctioned!
Starting bid: 50 million dollars!
Jiang Nan shouts as usual!
ᕕ(๑¯ิٹ¯)۶ "I bid the one million dollars I just picked up, plus 30,000 coins Boss Pang threw!"
Pang Badi: I just ~%?…;#*’☆!
[From Pang Badi's Resentment Points +1000!]
Before anyone else can bid, Alpha slams her little hammer rapidly, creating afterimages!
She hastily says, "Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the treasure!"
Whether it's enough or not, we'll make up the difference ourselves!
A lady quickly delivers the Spirit Pearl to Jiang Nan, and Jiang Nan hands over all the money he just picked up!
He's almost dying of happiness—doesn't this mean he got the Spirit Pearl for free?
And it's a Starlight-level War Rhino Spirit Pearl? Perfect for Wu Liang!
I'm such a genius! A genius that breaks through the sky!
Yao Hong bites her lower lip, looking at Jiang Nan with admiration!
This Starlight-level Spirit Pearl was hard-earned from a scam!
If I had this skill, why would Pugongying not prosper?
As the items' quality gets higher and higher, the atmosphere in the venue becomes more and more lively!
Suddenly, a bundle of scallions appears on the lift...
Everyone is stunned!
Damn? There really are scallions?
