Chapter 193: Auction

As the bidding for Turtle Shell, item number 88, reached fifty thousand, the number of continuing bidders dwindled to a few.

Though Turtle Shell has significant nourishing effects, an excessively high price ultimately deterred many people, causing them to give up and back down.

Only three bidders were left.

Two elderly men, one gentle and kind-looking, the other somewhat scholarly, exuding an academic aura.

The last person was a rough man with a fierce face and the air of a nouveau riche about him.

Fifty-five thousand... Fifty-eight thousand... Sixty-eight thousand...

By the end, as the burly man bid sixty-eight thousand, the two elderly men looked troubled, exchanged glances, sighed, and did not continue.

"Table eighteen, President Yan bids sixty-eight thousand, any higher bids!" the auctioneer called out, holding the Turtle Shell and scanning the crowd below.
