"Du jiuxi, if you feel that the price is too high, why don't we stop here?"
Lin Yi was very open-minded, "Don't worry. No one will laugh at you for bidding so high. If someone has to laugh at someone, it's me. You've already made a big profit by forcing me to use 50000 academic credits to buy a domain raw stone!"
When he said this, du wuhui couldn't help but feel even more apprehensive.
Logically speaking, anyone with a bit of rationality would've made the right choice to stop now. After all, the perfect-grade domain stone was very important to Lin Yi, who was rapidly improving in strength, but it wasn't that important to him.
However, Lin Yi's performance also verified Xu Anshan's judgment, especially that comment from master Luo!
Du wuhui really didn't dare to take the risk.
"Fifty-five thousand!"
Du wuhui was silent for a moment before he gritted his teeth and increased the bid.
This was a huge sum of money to him, but he could still afford to lose it. If he hesitated and Lin Yi took the chance, it would affect the outcome of the battle. It wouldn't be just a few tens of thousands of credits!
Lin Yi was a bit surprised, not expecting du wuhui to be so stubborn. He hesitated for a while before speaking in a low voice,"Eighty thousand!"
The audience was moved again.
This was already his third bid, and the next bid would depend on whether du wuhui was willing to follow.
If du wuhui was still rational, he wouldn't have continued. 80000 academic credits was almost the annual expenses of the entire Academy!
Even the Tian family wouldn't dare to spend 80000 academic credits on a raw domain stone, let alone the ten seats in the Academy!
Everyone's eyes were focused on du wuhui.
Du wuhui suddenly felt a mountain of pressure. He thought that Lin Yi was determined to get it, and he also thought that Lin Yi might use it as a key to defeat him, but he didn't think that Lin Yi would risk it like this!
This was no longer an ordinary bidding, but a gamble of life!
A normal life was only worth a few points. One must know that with the current market price, 2000 academic credits were enough to hire a senior domain master to work for you. 80000 academic credits was the price of 40 senior domain masters!
Du wuhui couldn't help but turn to Bai Yuxuan.
He couldn't make up his mind anymore. If he really took out 80000 credits, not only would he have to spend all his savings, but he would also have to owe a huge debt.
Even if they could take Lin Yi down, they would probably be reduced to the other ten seats of the main department. After all, these people were not philanthropists. Even song Jiangshan, who seemed to be the most easy-going, could eat people up without spitting out their bones when he was ruthless.
Seeing this, Bai Yuxuan reminded him softly,""Lin Yi's not an idiot."
Du wuhui instantly understood.
Since Lin Yi wasn't stupid, he wouldn't do something so stupid for no reason. Since he was willing to pay 80000 academic credits, it meant that the domain stone was worth 80000 academic credits to him!
What could be worth 80000 academic credits?
Other than defeating him, du wuhui couldn't think of anything else, and it was impossible for him to do anything else.
"Do you think that this raw territory stone is the key for you to defeat me?"
Du wuhui stared at Lin Yi's every change in expression and said coldly,""Aren't you afraid that Banshi Luo will make an error in judgment sometimes?"
Lin Yi pretended to be confused,"I don't know what you're talking about. I only know that for someone of your level to use 80000 academic credits to buy a territory stone, people will think you're an idiot. You'll become the laughingstock of the whole school, even the whole Jianghai city."
"Idiot? A laughing stock?"
Du wuhui sneered."If I'm really scared by you like this, then I'd really be a fool and a laughingstock. Do you think that as long as you get this territory stone, you'll have a chance to defeat me in a head-on fight? and you can get back everything you've paid for it from me?"
Lin Yi didn't reply, but from the changes in his expression, it was clear that he was right.
"It's a pity that you don't have enough money. I can still afford to lose these few credits!"
Du wuhui immediately made his final bid,""Eighty-one thousand."
"Deal," he said.
Old man Zhao made the final decision. Even though he had been in charge of the logistics department for many years, today was an unprecedented day for him. The terrifying sky-high price of 81000 academic credits would probably become the highest price in the history of the logistics department. No one would be able to break it!
After receiving the academic credits, old man Zhao immediately handed over the wind element perfect domain origin stone to du wuhui.
Du wuhui looked at his account that had been emptied in an instant. His heart ached so much that it was bleeding. However, he still forced himself to look calm on the surface. Not only that, he even tried to sow discord.
"Shen Yifan, as the inheritor of the Shen family, the wind god, I think you are a good match for this perfect domain of the wind element. If you are interested, you can come and look for me. The door of the du mansion will be open for you at any time."
With that, he left with Bai Yuxuan, ignoring Lin Yi and the others "subtle expressions.
For a moment, many strange gazes fell on Shen Yifan.
If there was anyone here who wanted this perfect wind element domain-type rough stone the most, it would definitely be Shen Yifan. He might even be more desperate than Lin Yi!
Although Lin Yi had the wind element as well, it was only one of his many attributes. For Shen Yifan who came from the wind god Shen family, the wind element was all he had!
More importantly, he was the second-in-charge of Lin Yi group, controlling the power of the freshmen Alliance and the five big clubs, but he still hadn't reached domain yet.
Seeing Ying long and the others moving in one by one, especially Yan Zhongyuan who showed his spirit as the second person after Lin Yi, he was in the limelight.
Shen Yifan would be lying to himself if he said that he was still unmoved.
There was already a lot of gossip in private.
Today, du wuhui had made such a move in front of everyone. No matter what he thought, the seed of suspicion would definitely be planted.
Things like trust had always been the most solid and also the most fragile. Once a crack appeared, it would only get worse and worse, and there would be no means or room to save it.
Seeing Lin Yi and Shen Yifan's different expressions, du wuhui's frustration from being forced to pay 80000 credits was greatly alleviated.
But before he could walk out the door, Lin Yi suddenly spoke.
"Elder Zhao, I heard that apart from this wind-elemental one, you've also recently obtained an earth-elemental perfect territory origin stone?"
Du wuhui's footsteps stopped, and he immediately heard old man Zhao chuckling,""The goods just arrived yesterday. You're really well-informed. I haven't leaked any information out. How did you know?"
"I heard it from the cafeteria lady."
Lin Yi's words almost made du wuhui vomit blood. He turned around and added,"Du jiuxi, take care."
“……”
Du wuhui forcefully suppressed the waves of dizziness. He gritted his teeth and turned his head to stare at old man Zhao's movements. He hoped with a hundred thousand percent that all of this was just a prank that the two of them were working together to spite him.
However, old man Zhao really did take out another brocade box.
