Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Translated by Yan of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

The official name of the transaction hall was 'Deer Pursuit Hall'*. Naturally, the latter sounded much better than the former; that was like the difference between one's distinguished name and one's childhood nickname. The first always sounded much better than the second.

(*literally it means 'to pursue deer,' figuratively means 'to vie for supremacy') 

Similarly, the fellows who were allowed to call you by your childhood nickname were naturally much closer to you than those who addressed you formally. So for different people, there were always disparities. Since there was a disparity, there were also those who were close and those who were distant, and so there were all sorts of backdoor deals and preferential treatment.

The Ten Great Clans were completely exempt from the first bidding or winner-takes-all system of the Deer Pursuit auction, and they directly entered the finals. Jin Yu could have done this as well, since he also did quite a lot of backdoor deals,slipping in through connections, and so on. But if some n.o.body suddenly got the qualification to bid in the finals without going through any compet.i.tion whatsoever, that would either mean you had true skill, or in the end, you would just be viewed as a male pet.

So Big Boss Jin decided to compete from the very beginning.

For something like purple coins, Boss Jin indicated that it was no pressure at all…

Oh, you don't trust me? Because usually, a certain prehistoric whale would always be using all sorts of excuses to exploit the beasts and make them work; he would do anything he could to suck up to wealthy people and get free meals from them so he wouldn't have to spend money. He would also rent his precious beasts out at extremely high prices. That's why you don't trust me, right?

To that, Big Boss Jin sneers.

Fool! Don't you know that the ultimate importance of saving money is that you don't have to spend your own money, and can use all sorts of methods to extort other people's? Being stingy doesn't mean poverty; it's the opposite, usually the stingy are the ones who are actually rich.

Moreover, in this trading convention, those who could bid could also supply precious objects. So, Big Boss Jin's objective this time wasn't lofty at all. Placing in the top three was enough. Really.

A certain person, who was a true 'rich person,' revealed a heavens-defying power at the beginning of the Deer Pursuit. It wasn't that a certain fish would bid on anything he saw, nor was he carrying purple coins all over him like some nouveau riche. In reality, Jin Yu only seriously bid on one thing, but that one thing made the b.a.l.l.s of all the rich bidders and politicians hurt —

You placed down a bid worth ten times more than the item? And it was f.u.c.king because your beasts accidentally touched the 'increase price' b.u.t.ton?!

Under typical circ.u.mstances if a beast accidentally touches the b.u.t.ton, the master would immediately declare it an accident, right?! But was this guy crazy? He only reprimanded them lightly before he calmly placed down the bid, which was worth way more than the item?!

What out-of-touch reincarnated ancestor was this, coming to cause havoc?!

Just like what the outsiders were seeing, at first Jin Yu was wondering how exactly he was supposed to express his wealth while still legitimately entering the next round of bidding. Meanwhile, Xiao Bao and the little golden monkey's private fight had already progressed to the point that they were cursing each other's ancestors eight generations back. As a result, when the little golden monkey wasn't standing firmly, BaoZi purposefully let a bite slip by, and before Da Dabai had time to reach out with its claws, Xiao Bao howled and pounced on the little golden monkey, knocking into the ‘increase price' b.u.t.ton. At the same time, XiaoBai slipped because it was taking too much joy in their misfortune, and its entire body tilted onto the ‘increase price' b.u.t.ton… unfortunately, it was the largest factor of ten.

……… T_T.

The former was a certain fish boss who was expressionlessly rubbing his chin. The latter were the four beasts who created the trouble and wanted to cry but didn't have the tears.

"You guys…"
