On the stage, Elder Qian looked at Zhuge Lan, a trace of doubt appearing on his face. For some reason, he, a Titled Douluo, couldn't understand this young man in front of him.
He had been worried earlier that this young man wouldn't be able to produce the money, but now it seemed he had miscalculated.
He said with a smile,
"Young man, take out your gold card. Money in one hand, goods in the other."
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhuge Lan's mouth. His gold card only had two million, not ten million at all, and besides, these two million had other uses.
He never intended to use the money here.
So he said,
"I don't have any money."
Elder Qian's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, his face filled with shock.
The entire venue instantly fell silent. Every guest stood rooted to the spot, and those who were in motion were also stopped by this scene, stunned.
Tang Xu burst into laughter. This guy actually had no money—that was fantastic.
Without money, he would be imprisoned by the Auction. Although he didn't have ten million, he would be bought for eight million, but seeing Zhuge Lan deflate like this was the happiest thing.
Dugu Bo frowned. What was going on? Didn't Zhuge Lan say he had everything under control? How could he say he had no money once he got on stage?
He naturally knew the consequences of not having money. His spirit power surged, wanting to go on stage to save Zhuge Lan.
But after thinking carefully, Zhuge Lan was cunning and wouldn't do anything without certainty, so he retracted his spirit power.
The Black-Clothed Person in the audience said in shock,
"What, no money? This… what's going on?"
Mo Long, the Gray-Clothed Person in another seat, sighed helplessly. He had thought it was a big fat piece of meat, but it turned out to be a swindler. There was no need to mobilize the Mo Family's Spirit Douluo.
The tight-clothed woman's face showed confusion.
"That's not right! This Zhuge Lan looks so calm, he doesn't seem like a swindler. Could it be… Oh, I understand."
Elder Qian on the stage exuded terrifying pressure. He stared straight at Zhuge Lan.
"Young man, you'd better be joking."
Zhuge Lan chuckled. Sure enough, if he had no money, the speed of change was really fast! Fortunately, he had a divine object he bought from the system store.
"Elder Qian, I was tricking you."
Elder Qian breathed a sigh of relief. As expected. He thought, how could such a calm young man, whose strength he couldn't discern, not have ten million? He should have it.
Of course, he wasn't particularly sure, after all, the money he usually carried didn't even amount to ten million.
"That's good, that's good."
Zhuge Lan shrugged.
"I really don't have money, and I don't plan to pay, but I have a divine object."
Elder Qian was stunned for a moment, then his face filled with anger. Was this kid playing with him? He was a Titled Douluo, not an ordinary Soul Master who could be trifled with.
A terrifying pressure instantly swept towards Zhuge Lan.
He stared straight at Zhuge Lan and said unhappily,
"You'd better be telling the truth, otherwise I'll cripple your Spirit."
Tang Xu below the stage burst into laughter.
"What divine object? I've never seen a divine object more precious than a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone. This Zhuge Lan truly deserves to die."
He secretly gloated. This Zhuge Lan even dared to play with a Titled Douluo. This time, he wouldn't need to act; Zhuge Lan wouldn't survive.
The Black-Clothed Person in the audience shook his head helplessly.
"I thought I'd see a good show, but I never expected such an outcome. It's really unappetizing."
Mo Long, on the other side, smiled awkwardly.
"Divine object? Where did a divine object come from?"
The slim woman's mouth curled into a proud smile, her face showing curiosity.
"There should be a divine object, but what kind of divine object it is makes one curious."
Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought about rushing up directly to save Zhuge Lan, but it seemed unnecessary now.
If Zhuge Lan said he had a divine object, then he definitely did. Since he possessed heaven-defying treasures like the Time-Space Brush and the Invisibility Hat, what other treasures wouldn't he have? Isn't it normal to have a divine object?
He was also curious now about what kind of divine object Zhuge Lan would take out!
Zhuge Lan slowly took out a small bottle containing a thick liquid from the system store, then opened the cap. A strange fragrance flowed out of the bottle, then began to spread throughout the Auction hall.
Tang Xu laughed loudly, disdainfully shouting,
"A bottle of an unknown substance with a fragrance dares to call itself a divine object."
A large number of guests also couldn't help but say,
"What kind of thing dares to call itself a divine object?"
"How ridiculous."
"Sigh, I thought it was something good! Really."
Suddenly, Elder Qian's angry roar came from the Auction hall.
"Shut up."
The Auction hall immediately fell silent. After all, this was the roar of a Titled Douluo; no one dared to act recklessly.
Although many people were making sarcastic remarks, some did not. Instead, they were more engrossed in smelling this fragrance, especially those closer to the stage.
The Black-Clothed Person in the audience showed a look of shock.
"How is this possible? My spirit power level has actually increased! This is a divine object!"
He really didn't expect that just by coming to an Auction, his spirit power level would increase.
Mo Long, next to him, showed a look of shock. His bottleneck had actually loosened! One must know that this bottleneck had taken decades and remained completely unmoved, yet it had loosened at this moment.
How could this be? The item in this kid's hand was actually a divine object.
The slim woman in the audience couldn't sit still.
This was truly a divine object. She really wanted to get it, but there was one problem: Elder Qian in front of her was a Titled Douluo, and her strength was insufficient. It seemed she needed to send out a call for help to Spirit Hall.
Dugu Bo in the audience could clearly feel the slight loosening of his realm. This was definitely a divine object, but the ten-thousand-year Soul Bone was too compatible with him.
After he obtained the ten-thousand-year Soul Bone, he must properly thank Zhuge Lan. This transaction was truly a huge investment.
Elder Qian on the stage clearly felt the tremendous changes within his body. His spirit power was being purified, and his bottleneck was loosening. He was a Titled Douluo, and this treasure—no, this divine object—held an unimaginable attraction for him, a Titled Douluo.
He immediately stepped forward, covered the bottle, and then whispered into Zhuge Lan's ear,
"Zhuge Lan, what exactly is this thing?"
Zhuge Lan saw Elder Qian's fervent gaze and immediately understood. This Titled Douluo was clearly moved. He had seen this kind of gaze before, just like when Dugu Bo wanted to obtain the ten-thousand-year Soul Bone, he showed the same expression.
That kind of desire to obtain something at all costs.
It seemed this transaction was secure.
He slowly leaned towards Elder Qian's ear and whispered very softly,
"A sliver of possibility for you to become a god."
Elder Qian stood rooted to the spot, unable to recover for a long time. After becoming a Titled Douluo, who wouldn't want to become a god? But that was too difficult, and he was old. He had originally thought there was no possibility whatsoever.
Suddenly, a chance to become a god appeared. Anyone would want to seize it, especially since he was a Titled Douluo.
