Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 977: Superior Skills, Prepare to Break Through

"three million!"

"Three million and two million!"

"Three and a half million!"

The bids in the two boxes kept getting higher and higher. Even though all the people attending the auction were powerful and famous, they couldn't help but be secretly surprised by the high price.

Even the mermaids changed from their initial indignation to confusion and anger - why would someone want to obtain the tears of their clan so much?

None of the guests present could explain this scene: although a few million was affordable for them, the premium was too high.

The richer a person is, the smarter he is with money.

They can spend ten million to buy something worth ten million, but they will never spend millions on something worth hundreds of thousands - unless they are cheated or have the intention of tax evasion.

"When did [Mermaid's Tears] become so valuable?"

"It's fine if one company needs it urgently, but why are two companies fighting over it? Could it be that this thing has a new use recently?"

"Damn it, could it be that Hai Mu Zun guy is hyping this up?"

"It's almost as if they're not spending their own money!"

In this almost "angry" way of spending money, the price quickly exceeded five million.

"Five million two hundred thousand!"

Kuang Dao shouted out the offer.

Just as April was about to continue making an offer, Lin Yu stopped her.

"Okay."

April was confused: "Huh? Why - couldn't the other party be someone from 'Order'..."

"Because if we can give them these two, their credit limit won't be enough to support them in bidding for the 'Lost Treasure'," Lin Yu said calmly. "Don't forget, we still have more [Mermaid Tears]. If we can seize this opportunity to trap them in this venue, forcing them to be distracted from collecting the 'Lost Treasure' or mistakenly believe they've 'defeated' us, we can easily leave with even more [Mermaid Tears]."

As Lin Yu spoke, April was convinced.

"It's actually possible to do this!"

And what happened next was just as Lin Yu told April.

Several "lost treasures" that were placed in boxes but never opened and whose contents were unknown were auctioned off like blind boxes.

Since many "lost treasures" are "disposable consumables", most of them are auctioned in the form of blind boxes.

Lin Yu and Siyue easily used the food they had just sold to buy two "lost treasures".

Kuang Dao and Shan Que wanted to bid for it, but were told that they did not have enough funds and needed to verify their capital. They had to temporarily give up on this "pass condition" of winning at the auction.

Kuang Dao didn't really mind: "Looks like we'll have to find a way to get some more 'Lost Treasures' after we get out."

He was not worried about this - although the "lost treasure" was rare, it was not a unique piece that only had a few in the world. There were always a few in a rich and prosperous city like the Siren King's City - especially now that it was the Tidewalk Festival, it would be easier to find these precious things than before.

There is always a way. The worst that can happen is to mortgage and exchange some of the [props] on you... At the very least, you can rob a rich and unkind sea monster and treat it as robbing the rich to help the poor.

Therefore, Kuang Dao was very optimistic: "Anyway, we've already got the [Mermaid's Teardrop]... We've also deployed the bomb. We just need to create an explosion and we can leave!"

But the titmouse was not optimistic.

"No... I have a feeling they deliberately let us go. After all, there are only 'two' here, and their bidding attitude is perfectly within the credit limit of this 'Guya Zun' identity," said Shanque frowning. "Although the 'plunderers' may not have sent any powerful people, they have already successfully leveraged their influence to the point where the people of the Siren Kingdom mistakenly believe they are guests of the Middle Sea. I think it's best not to treat them as fools."

"Now, they have obtained the 'Lost Treasure'... Perhaps, I think they have seen through our identities and are preparing to obtain more [Mermaid Tears] from somewhere else and quickly evacuate."

At this point, Chickadee became increasingly uneasy. "Honestly, we'd better be careful, Crazy Blade."

Kuang Dao also became serious, but still relatively optimistic: "Well, you have a point, Tit... maybe they have other ways to obtain the [Mermaid's Teardrops]. We still can't let our guard down. Maybe she plans to steal ours..."

"However, it shouldn't be that easy for them to see through our disguise, considering your painting skills and my acting are both so perfect," Kuang Dao said, stroking his chin. "Besides, if they've already seen through our disguise, why don't they expose us?"

Shantiao shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe it's because they haven't left yet... If I were them, I would choose to report us after the auction is over. That way, I can keep the two of us in the venue as long as possible."

At this point, the tit's face changed and he said, "Wait a minute, we'd better retreat now."

As he was about to leave, he heard a knock on the door of the box.

"Dong dong!"

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Guyazun, we need to bother you for a moment because we received an anonymous tip-off that someone has placed a bomb in your box and is planning to assassinate you. For your safety, I've brought the guards to protect you."

"Also, it's said that the person who planted the bomb is in your box... We'll break down the door to protect you soon, so please protect yourself! Be careful not to get hijacked!"

The voice of the auction house's Siren Manager came from outside the door.

"Damn it, I underestimated those two 'Predators' guys," Shanque cursed inwardly, "Kuang Dao, there's a change of plan."

Of course, he knew that this paper shell that had taken advantage of a loophole under the lamp could not guarantee that it would not be discovered in the long run - and as long as the people from the auction house became suspicious and went to Guyazun's messy private box, which was also the "crime scene", they would find that they were really fakes.

Moreover... the other party's reporting method is too clever!

If they simply reported that "Gu Ya Zun" was a fake, they could then use Gu Ya Zun's majesty to drive away those who came to investigate, and then directly detonate the bomb to create chaos.

What they reported was that there was a bomb in the room - the guards would definitely be "prepared" for the explosion, or at least have explosion-proof measures!

The only thing that puzzled Shantiao now was why the guys from the "Predator" knew about this not long after Kuang Dao had set up the bomb.

Coincidence? No... I can't be so optimistic!

Does the other party know Kuang Dao's methods very well?

Or... does he have some kind of predictive ability?

No matter which one, now it’s time to go!

"Crazy Blade, detonate the bomb in advance and prepare to break out!"
