First Day In Game, I Got Ten Billion From Infinite Number Of Check-ins - Chapter 173

173 I Don’t Want to Give You Respect

At night, everyone made a lot of money. Zhang Yuwan and Wang Meiqing lost less and won more. They had already earned tens of thousands of yuan. This was equivalent to their tuition and living expenses for a year or two. How could they not be excited?

However, when the young men suggested going to a nightclub so late at night, the two girls quickly rejected them and left with Chen Yun.

Zhao Yang and the others were not in a hurry. They knew that it was not time yet. In the next few days, they also brought Chen Yun and the others to play. However, later on, Zhang Yuwan and the others seemed to have discovered that Zhao Yang and the others had other motives. They only followed everyone and occasionally placed bets for a few rounds. They followed Chen Yun the entire time, making Zhao Yang and the others feel more and more displeased with Chen Yun.

Chen Yun did not mind. In his eyes, these people were of little importance.

!!
“There’s an auction tomorrow. Let’s go together,” said Zhao Yang. Then, he looked at Zhang Yuwan and the others. “I have a friend who can help us get admission tickets. Even if we don’t buy anything, it’s still an experience to go in and take a look. How about that?”

He and the two young men chuckled. When the two girls saw their true wealth, they would definitely submit obediently. After all, how many women nowadays did not love money, especially high school and university students? Their desire for money was even stronger.

“Moreover, this auction is just in time for the Shennong Ceremony. We might encounter treasures or top young masters and young ladies here.”

“Oh?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was immediately interested. Even Chen Yun raised his eyes slightly and nodded in agreement.

The next day.

Everyone arrived at the auction venue.

The scene of the auction was much more spectacular than the previous casino. It was held in a manor. Although this manor was not as big as the East Mountain Villa in Chen Yun’s hands, it was still quite large. The pavilion and waterside pavilion had some charm.

Chen Yun and the others walked in the manor. The remaining few people looked at the surrounding scenery and their eyes were about to pop out.

They had never seen such a scene before. The Classical Gardens of Suzhou were just so-so in comparison. This was simply too exquisite.

“It’s all thanks to Brother Zhao that we can see such a scene.” A young man laughed loudly. His eyes were filled with envy. Clearly, he was envious of Zhao Yang’s family background.

Zhao Yang waved his hand. “It’s not worth mentioning.”

Although he was speaking humbly, the pride on his face became even greater. Then, he looked at Chen Yun and the others. “Enjoy the scenery here. We’re going to enter the auction house later. The people inside are all big shots.”

Upon hearing the mention of a big shot, everyone hurriedly finished looking at the scenery and followed Zhao Yang in.

Before they could enter, a few shouts came from the side. Everyone went over and saw that everyone was making way for a man and a woman. The man was about 30 years old. He was wearing a long robe and had an arrogant expression on his face. He looked at the surrounding people who were trying to please him and simply looked down on them.

The girl beside him looked to be in her early twenties. She was gentle and elegant. She was wearing a moon-white long robe and black casual pants. She wore red sandalwood prayer beads on her wrist. Although she was not too beautiful, her temperament was gentle, like a painting.

“Oh my god, why are these two here?!”

Zhao Yang looked at the two of them in shock and exclaimed.

At the side, many men and women in formal clothes were also shocked. “This man is Qi Chen from the Qi family of Shennong Mountain, right? The Qi family is a family pf Chinese medicine practitioners to begin with. It’s rumored that Qi Chen has studied the Holy Bible of Medicine since he was young. He started treating illnesses when he was seven or eight years old. Now, he’s even known to have the Sacred Hand. In China’s Chinese medicine world, he’s comparable to a few big shots.”

“Does anyone know this woman? From the looks of it, she’s probably from the Lu family of Jiangbei.”

Everyone was discussing this softly, but Zhao Yang was already petrified. Everyone looked at him and asked softly, “Are these two people very powerful?”

“Yes, they’re quite powerful.” Zhao Yang’s voice trembled with excitement. “This man’s family is the Qi family. The Qi family is a family of Chinese medicine practitioners. Everyone in the family has medical skills. The Qi family spans two provinces and has a huge power in Jiangbei and Tianxi Province. Their connections can be said to be widespread.”

“I know that girl. She’s Miss Lu Yan from the Lu family. The Lu family can be said to be the number one family in Mount Shennong. They’re also famous in the entire Jiangbei. They rely on the retailing of medicinal herbs.”

The young man beside him chuckled and said, “Brother Zhao, isn’t your family doing this too? Aren’t they doing well too? You shouldn’t be much worse than them. Why are you praising them while undermining your power?”

“Shh!”

Zhao Yang’s expression suddenly darkened as he looked at the young man. “You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. Although my family does this too, we’re nothing in front of the Lu family. We’re just picking up the leftovers that the Lu family doesn’t like.”

As soon as he said this, he felt even more sorrowful. Back then, when his father toasted the Lu family, the other party did not even care about him, let alone talk to him. This was the power of the Lu family.

The Lu family might not be comparable to the five great families in Jiangbei, but in Mount Shennong, no one was better than them. Mount Shennong was isolated and relied on medicinal herbs to survive. It could be said that the Lu family was like the sky in Mount Shennong. Everyone relied on them to survive.

Hearing Zhao Yang’s words, everyone’s hearts tightened again, and the way they looked at the two people changed again.

Then, a few people came over one after another, making everyone exclaim. They were all Chinese medicine masters from Jiangbei.

Zhao Yang introduced them one by one as if he was showing off. He told them their names and their achievements. The others looked at these old men with reverence. After all, they might only be able to see such famous Chinese medicine doctors once in their lives.

Chen Yun looked at them one by one, his eyes calm.

However, in the next moment, he chuckled. Among these people, there was someone he knew. It was Zhang Ming. However, it made sense. Why wouldn’t he attend such a grand even that involved Chinese medicine?

Chen Yun and the others stepped in and sat down at the back. However, even at the back, everyone’s eyes were filled with excitement. After all, they had only seen auction scenes in movies. Now that they were experiencing it for themselves, how could they not be excited?

After a while, everyone sat down and the auctioneer went on stage. The entire auction officially began.

In the beginning, they were all decades-old medicines. The starting price of each medicine was above a million yuan. Even Zhao Yang could not help but be speechless, let alone the people beside him. Their eyes widened as if their hearts had been shocked.

This…

Was this what rich people were like?

Next was a hundred-year-old ginseng. The starting price was two million yuan. In the end, the price soared to four million yuan.

“F*ck! Four million yuan!” Zhao Yang’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch as he muttered, “Damn it, four million yuan is enough for my living expenses for a few years.”

The people beside him were even more shocked. Four million yuan!

It would probably take them decades to save up!

Just this medicinal herb was worth so much!

Then, a few more people called out their bids. Finally, a voice sounded. “The final price is 4.7 million.”

“The final price is 4.7 million!”

This time, everyone gasped again.

Everyone present also looked at the person who spoke and realized that it was none other than Zhang Ming. At that moment, they had no intention of bidding anymore. Firstly, the price was indeed about right. Secondly, who wanted to offend the Divine Doctor? After all, who could guarantee that they would not be sick or suffer a calamity in the future? At that time, if he did not respect them and treat them, they could cry.

At this moment, seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Ming’s face became smug. He cupped his hands in the surroundings and said loudly, “Thank you for giving me respect. Then, it’s impolite for me to reject this medicinal herb.”

Then, the auctioneer on the stage began to count down.

Everyone understood the situation. No one said anything.

Zhao Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“Divine Doctor Zhang has already made a move. Who would dare to compete with him?”

“Who in Jiangbei wouldn’t give him respect?”

“It looks like this hundred-year-old ginseng is taken.”

The few people beside him nodded continuously.

Just as everyone fell into silence and only Zhang Ming’s laughter was left.

Suddenly, a voice slowly sounded from behind. “Five million.”
