With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 794: A bit disappointing

Since it was the final item, there was no doubt that it would be a special item.

So the moment that the host announced that it would be the final item, everyone immediately turned their attention to the stage.

Everyone seemed to completely forget about anything that they were thinking about before as they were completely focused on the final item that would be brought up.

But the process of bringing this final item up was different from the process of bringing up the other items.

The main difference was that…

There were a bunch of guards that suddenly appeared on stage.

They took a formation around the stage, making sure to secure the center of the stage along with the host.

With the way that they were standing, it was as if they weren't planning on letting a single mouse past them.

It seemed like the auction house was going all out with this final item.

The crowd didn't seem offended by the fact that all of these guards were summoned. Rather, it seemed like most people in the crowd were excited about this as they knew that it was only for a special item that the auction house would go all out like this.

So that meant that whatever they were planning on bringing out was without a doubt a very special thing.

That made everyone even more excited.

Even the VIP guests seemed excited based on the aura that was coming from them.

Though it wasn't strange that they were excited since they hadn't been able to get a single item.

Ye Qing Huan had completely outbid them for every single item that they wanted. Whether it was a normal item or a special item, it didn't seem like Ye Qing Huan would run out of money.

That was also something that Lin Fan was shocked by and curious about.

He couldn't help wondering just how much money Ye Qing Huan had.

There was no doubt that she would have a lot of money as the sister of Ye Tian Xie, the disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect's sect master. However, it didn't make sense that she would have this much money…

Or could it be that this was just a normal amount for those from one of the Five Great Sects?

Was this just a show of the amount of wealth that the Five Great Sects possessed?

Regardless of what it was, Lin Fan was more focused on something else.

It was Ye Qing Huan who laid there in his embrace with a bored look on her face.

Though she did this, he knew that she wasn't actually disinterested in this item and was just acting this way. She had done this the entire time, so he had already figured out that she was just acting.

After all, there was only so much of a coincidence that could happen.

She just kept saying that she bought it because he seemed like he wanted it, but Lin Fan was sure that she bought it for a certain reason.

If Ye Qing Huan ever asked for the items that she bought back, he would hand them over without any hesitation.

Once the guards had finished gathering on stage and securing the scene, the item was finally brought out.

This was an item that was locked inside of a glass box that had runes all over it.

It was clear that there was a barrier around this glass box and judging by the density of the runes on it, it seemed that this barrier was anything but weak. To most of the people that were in the crowd, this barrier should be unbreakable.

Though to the people that were in the VIP rooms…

Without a doubt, it was easy for Ye Qing Huan to break this glass box.

It was just that there was nothing to gain from her breaking this glass box and stealing this item.

It was much easier for her to just bid for the item and take it openly like that.

Though it was a glass box, it wasn't actually transparent. It was as if there was something that was blocking people from seeing what was inside of this glass box.

This was surely a ploy by the auction house to build up curiosity about the item that was inside of the glass box.

That would make it easier for them to raise the price later.

Or at least that was the plan if not for a certain someone who just crushed everyone else's bid.

Once the glass box reached the center of the stage, there was a cage that suddenly fell down from the sky. No one knew where this cage even came from, it was as if the cage had appeared out of nowhere.

However, there was a reason for the appearance of this cage.

This cage landed right where the glass box was, completely surrounding it as if it was there to protect the glass box.

Only after all of this happened did the host move over to the side of the glass cage.

He didn't reach into the cage and instead took out what seemed to be a stone.

With a casual toss, he threw that stone at the cage where it was immediately destroyed. It didn't even get shattered to pieces, it was turned into dust by some kind of invisible barrier around the cage.

It showed just how powerful the defenses around the cage were.

After that was done, the host said, "As you can all see, there's no way that anyone will be able to break through these defenses." There was a faint smile that appeared on his lips as he said, "As for why we've put up such defenses, it's naturally because of how precious this item was."

Everyone's eyes lit up the moment that they heard this.

Anyone that saw the host's performance had to admit that he was skilled at what he did.

He certainly was good at catching everyone's attention and using it to further the price of the item.

After explaining this, the host just gave a simple wave of his hand.

With that wave of his hand, the glass box suddenly became transparent.

It was as if there was something deactivated with that wave of the host's hand, which had allowed them to see through into the glass box.

The moment that they saw what was inside, everyone couldn't help revealing a slightly disappointed look. After all, the thing that was inside of the glass was nothing more than a simple flower.

It wasn't even a flower that seemed that impressive, it seemed like a flower that could be picked up from the side of the road.

At the same time, since there was a glass box around it, they weren't able to sense the spiritual energy that came from the flower. The glass box and the barrier that it contained seemed to completely cut the flower off from the rest of the world.

So they weren't able to tell what was special about this flower.

The host didn't seem to panic when he saw the mood of the crowd.

The look on his face was as if he was already expecting to see this reaction from them.

That was only to be expected since the auction house would know what their product was and how the crowd was expected to react to it. If the crowd could see that this flower looked normal, there was no doubt that they would be able to see the same thing.

As such, it was up to the host to explain what was special about this item.

So the host raised his voice and said, "Everyone, do you think that our auction house would really bring out something disappointing for our last item?"

The crowd was surprised to hear this before many of them started to shake their heads in response to this.

The items that had been brought out so far were considered special items.

If they already brought out these kinds of items, then that meant that this normal looking flower wouldn't be something normal. The only thing that this flower could be was something very exceptional, something that was greater than the items brought out so far.

So everyone once again started to look excited as they waited for the host to continue.

When the host saw that he had built up their tension and attention, he said with a smile, "This flower is a special one that our auction house has spent quite a bit of effort to get. It's a flower that no one would be able to get that easily, so it took us quite a bit of time to actually get this flower."

The host moved to the other side of the cage and started gesturing with his hands as if he was showing off the flower.

"This flower is known as the Moon Gazing Flower. It has the ability to create a dazzling light that will cause the viewers to fall into illusions, as if they were gazing at the moon. Not only can it be used as a final trump card, it also is a precious ingredient that is used in many different high grade pills."

The host continued on to explain the many uses of this flower, but there was only one thing that Lin Fan was interested in.

The first use of this Moon Gazing Flower.

It reminded him of another sect that used flowers like this.

"The starting bid will be five thousand spirit stones and each…"

Before the host could finish saying what he wanted to say.

"Ten thousand."
