Chapter 2247: Does He Know What’s Inside?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“50 billion UC!”
A quiet hush fell over the surroundings as the astonishing number echoed, leaving everyone with a sense of surrealism.
A mineral, initially valued in the hundreds of millions, had yielded a treasure worth 50 billion UC. What kind of luck was this?
“How do we know if it’s worth 50 billion like what you’ve said? The uses of this so-called Celestial Spirit Leaf are still open to debate,” Hengzang Mo spoke up at this moment.
50 billion had completely surpassed the value of his ore!
It wasn’t just a small difference. It was an overwhelming excess of 38 billion. There was simply no comparison.
“Of course, if you don’t believe it, you can check for yourselves. 1 believe, aside from me, there must be others who know the value of this Celestial Spirit Leaf,” Wang Teng said with a faint smile.
In truth, most of the people already believed him. Wang Teng spoke convincingly, with reason and evidence that made it difficult not to trust him.
Moreover, as he pointed out, there were still others who knew the value of this Celestial Spirit Leaf. A lie like this would eventually be exposed. Lying was pointless.
“Hengzang Mo, what do you mean? Your ore can have a higher value but mine can’t?” Shouzang Caiyun said indignantly.
At this moment, she was enveloped in a sudden joy, and she would not allow anyone to spoil it.
What’s more, Wang Teng was the one who guided her to choose this ore. Since he could choose such a highly valuable ore from among many, how could he not know its true worth?
Her trust in Wang Teng was no longer the same as before.
Money talks!
However, she seemed to have forgotten that Wang Teng’s ore had not been cut yet.
As long as the value of Wang Teng’s ore far exceeded everyone else’s, all the treasures extracted would belong to him.
From the beginning, Wang Teng was guaranteed to win.
These five geniuses from the major families, even if they practiced eye discernment for another hundred years, wouldn’t be able to play with Wang Teng.
“Hmph!” Hengzang Mo’s expression turned ugly. He snorted and kept quiet.
With eager anticipation, the crowd had enjoyed the spectacle of the Celestial Spirit Leaf for a while and then shifted their focus to the last piece of ore.
This ore belonged to Guizang Yan!
“This is… Fire Cloud Dark Ore!”
“That’s right, it’s a Fire Cloud Dark Ore, an excellent material for forging fire-element universe-level weapons, and its price is quite high!”
“Who will give an estimate?”
“Why not let this young brother make an estimate? His insight is unparalleled!”
The gazes of the crowd landed on Wang Teng, some wanting him to make an estimate, hoping to see if he truly had extraordinary abilities.
“Brother Han, do you know anything about the Fire Cloud Dark Ore?” Guizang Yan asked.
“I have some knowledge,” Wang Teng replied.
“Then could you please help us estimate its value?” Guizang Yan said.
“15 billion!” Wang Teng replied directly.
“15 billion!” Guizang Yan raised his eyebrows. This price was slightly higher than Hengzang Mo’s. He couldn’t help but look towards an elderly man beside him.
“This young brother’s estimate is a bit high. In my opinion, the highest estimate should be 13 billion.” The elderly man spoke.
“This Fire Cloud Dark Ore weighs a total of 6,800 kilograms. In the virtual universe, there was once a piece of Fire Cloud Dark Ore weighing 3,200 kilograms, which sold for a price of six billion. Comparing this, selling this piece for 15 billion is not excessive, especially considering its larger volume,” Wang Teng explained casually.
The elderly man’s expression changed slightly. He immediately accessed the virtual network, seemingly searching for something.
After a moment, he glanced at Wang Teng and sighed, saying, “1 underestimated the value! 1 am truly inferior! Truly inferior!”
The crowd’s gaze towards Wang Teng changed once again. It seemed that this young man was indeed extraordinary.
The elder was a famous mining engineer from the Five Burials Hotel, familiar with various treasures. His estimates were usually accurate, and many people trusted him to help appraise items.
Unexpectedly, in front of this black-haired youth, he admitted that his estimate was not very accurate.
This was clearly acknowledging that his estimate was not on point.
2 billion wasn’t a small sum.
Wang Teng smiled faintly.
This elderly man had quite a thick skin!
Failing to estimate accurately was one thing, but claiming to be conservative about it was trying to save face.
He looked at the elderly man with a meaningful glance, making the old man feel a bit embarrassed.
The elderly man couldn’t help but be thankful that Wang Teng didn’t press the issue further. Otherwise, he would have embarrassed himself even more.
Hengzang Mo’s expression became extremely unsightly. It was alright that Shouzang Caiyun’s ore was more valuable than his. After all, it hadn’t been confirmed.
But now, even Guizang Yan’s ore exceeded his. He had no room to refute, and no matter how he looked at it, he was already a definite loser.
At this moment, the phrase “don’t celebrate too early” perfectly described his situation!
