Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'

Chapter 1049 553: The Gamble Saint of a Thousand Souls

Song Qianhun's offer had already approached fifty million, Jin Shunying couldn't hold on any longer; her mind was about to collapse.

She raised her hand and said, "Forty-seven million one hundred fifteen."

This was the last price she could accept. Even though it wasn't her money, she couldn't say a higher number; otherwise, she felt she'd lose her mind.

Song Qianhun raised his hand again: "Sixty million."

Jin Shunying scratched her head and laughed.

He didn't even say fifty million, he directly said sixty million.

The boss had indeed advised her to secure it no matter what.

The boss also indeed said not to look back lightly.

But this time, she had to look back; she truly felt her mind was already at the breaking point.

She needed to check the boss's attitude, at least to confirm if the boss's mindset was still normal. If the boss went insane and didn't acknowledge it afterward, it was Jin Shunying who made the offer, and her life would be completely shattered.

Jin Shunying slowly turned her head back, staring at Li Banfeng's seat for a long time.

Where was the boss?

Where did the boss go?

Why was the boss missing?

Jin Shunying trembled all over, almost crying out loud.

He's gone, what am I supposed to do?

Where am I going to find sixty million?

Isn't my life ruined?

The host on stage, Chi Huiyi, shouted loudly, "Sixty million once."

Jin Shunying's vision blurred, and she found it hard to breathe.

"Sixty million twice!"

Jin Shunying felt her scalp almost tearing apart, grabbing out a tuft of her own hair.

"Sixty million three times!"

Jin Shunying closed her eyes, feeling as if she fell into an endless abyss.

"Congratulations to this gentleman, please serve the dish!"

Gentleman?

Why call me gentleman?

Jin Shunying raised her head, realizing something.

The sixty million bid wasn't hers; it was from the man behind her.

The man spent sixty million, he bought something, what does it have to do with me?

In a state of intense nervousness, Jin Shunying experienced cognitive dissonance, nearly scaring herself to death.

Seeing that the Wounded Demon Fiend had already been sold, Jin Shunying breathed a sigh of relief, the stone in her heart also settled.

If the boss asks later, she'll just tell the truth, saying she got scared and didn't dare to offer again. If he's angry and wants to hit her, she'll accept the beating, but if he fines her, she definitely won't have it!

While Jin Shunying was still lost in thought, Chu Zikai, with the Lost Soul of Shui Yongquan, approached Song Qianhun, intending to follow the rules to a side hall outside for the transaction.

With such a large amount and big business, the blond elder responsible for protecting Chu Zikai naturally had to follow.

Having closed a sixty million deal tonight, the host of the ballroom, Chi Huiyi, was also very excited, as by the rules, she would receive a substantial commission.

Seeing Song Qianhun rise slowly, his steps hesitant, Chi Huiyi dared not urge him; after all, this was someone who bid sixty million, they must not be offended.

Song Qianhun turned back every three steps, walking with palpable hesitation.

He wasn't hesitant because of the sixty million, but because he was worried about the subsequent dishes.

Li Qi had promised him that the main dish absolutely couldn't be served.

Only after Song Qianhun exited the ballroom did Chi Huiyi continue with the service: "Main course, the chef's specialty!"

The incense and candle shop owner, Chang Shigui, carried a box with a solemn expression, stepping into the center of the dance floor.

Having dedicated his life to business, today was the most important day for Chang Shigui. Before the grand feast, he had prayed for two whole hours at the pants of the deity. The speech he would give today had been rehearsed dozens of times word by word.

Now as he stood before the crowd, he adjusted his breath slightly and spoke in a rich voice, "The dish I bring today is from the great deity's..."

"I'll buy it!" Li Banfeng raised his hand.

Before Chang Shigui could finish his sentence, Li Banfeng declared he'd buy it.

Chi Huiyi laughed, "Dear guest, please don't rush. Let the chef handle it first, then make your offer."

"No need for the chef to handle it, no matter what this dish is like, I am definitely buying it!"

Chi Huiyi replied, "Even if you're buying, you need to wait for the price to be announced by the shop."

"Regardless of the price, I absolutely have to buy it."

Chang Shigui said, "Please wait a moment, allow me to finish talking about this dish."

Li Banfeng frowned, "What do you mean by this, isn't this supposed to be a grand feast? I ordered, and you're not selling?"

Chi Huiyi was stunned, and Chang Shigui couldn't understand either, as grand feasts always favored the highest bidder. What was this about ordering a dish?

The surrounding guests started discussing, some even laughing, mocking Li Banfeng for not understanding the rules.

"This person is here for the first time at a grand feast?"

"Who does he think he is, buying whenever he wants?"

"Probably a country bumpkin flaunting wealth, making a fool of himself here."

Jin Shunying had thought the boss might go crazy, but she didn't expect it to happen near the end of the banquet. Was it because she didn't secure the Wounded Demon Fiend, and the boss was angry?

Would he punish me severely afterward?

He can beat me if he likes, but please don't fine me.

Li Banfeng gazed at Chang Shigui, "I'm just asking, will you sell it or not?"

Chi Huiyi's smile faded, becoming angry herself, "Sir, we have our rules. Since you're at our table for a meal, you must adhere to our rules."

"Why so many rules?" Li Banfeng barked, "So, are you selling or not?"

Chi Huiyi raised her eyebrows, "You're here to cause trouble!"

With those words, dozens of Dark Energy Users burst out from all around the ballroom.

Daring to hold a banquet here, Chi Huiyi was naturally not an ordinary person, and this wasn't her first time handling troublemakers.

She wanted to warn Li Banfeng with a few words but didn't expect Li Banfeng to be angrier than her: "Refusing kind words? Preferring a hard way? Not selling, right? I don't even want to pay!"
