Chapter 517: After the Luck Was Stolen, the Survival Game Came
On the other side, an invisible war was also breaking out in Xie Nansheng's camp.
During the second battle against marine pollution beasts, Yan Xining's "rash" decision caused the team members to lose all their fame and fortune. In order to prevent the "autocracy" phenomenon from happening again, the group re-elected a person to join the decision-making group.
This man's name is Liu Duan. He ranks in the middle in terms of strength and has always been a good guy. He usually takes good care of everyone in the team and can "convey public opinion". Naturally, he became the only candidate recommended by everyone.
And Mr. Ge, as a technical personnel with medical skills, also has one vote.
Only in this way can Situ Feng and Xie Nansheng's one-sided preference for Yan Xining be offset.
Yan Xining was very dissatisfied, but she also felt that she had angered the public, so she rarely showed up in the past few days.
On the surface, it was Xie Nansheng, the leader, who made all the decisions. As for her other little thoughts, she had learned her lesson and chose to whisper in others' minds afterwards.
Naturally, it was a unanimous decision to take a picture of the ticket to the island gathering.
Yan Xining took the initiative to apply for the opportunity to speak, and the matter was taken over by her.
At first, no one had any objections, but when Lu Hansheng withdrew from the bidding, Yan Xining's continued bidding caused dissatisfaction among Mr. Ge.
"This is too much. An island rally ticket is not worth the price right now!"
The others didn't say anything. Although they agreed in their hearts, that's how auctions work, the highest bidder wins.
Naturally, they have to pay some money if they want the ticket to the island gathering.
Yan Xining also felt that she had suffered a loss, but her thoughts had already changed.
In the original team, she almost had the final say, so naturally she had priority in all resources.
But now someone has stepped forward to share the power, and those resources will be distributed to the members under the supervision of everyone. Since she can't enjoy them, why should she save them for them?
Thinking of this, she still had the energy to be sarcastic to Mr. Ge.
"What Mr. Ge said makes sense, but doesn't an auction require bidding? If there's no bidding, does that mean Mr. Ge doesn't want this thing anymore?"
Mr. Ge: "..."
He was just complaining a few words, how could he be so stupid as to say no on behalf of the entire team?
He looked embarrassed, and vaguely felt that Yan Xining was mocking him for being ignorant, so he said unhappily.
“An auction requires bidding, but there can’t be no bottom line! Stop when it’s almost done!”
Yan Xining didn't say anything, just chuckled.
She was holding her breath, and unless she did something to release it, she couldn't let it out. It felt like a lump in her chest, and she felt uncomfortable.
And having finally "defeated" Jiang Yueshu and her group, she naturally felt very happy.
As for bidding with the Situ family, she just took a casual attitude. It was not her resource to spend more or less anyway. Unless she won the item, she would have to compete for a spot to attend the island gathering.
If she can’t take the photo... then she should be able to use the admission ticket that Xie Nansheng got.
While I was thinking in a twisted way, Situ Feng suddenly sent a message on the screen.
Although Situ Feng was close to Yan Xining's camp, his last name was Situ after all, so he would naturally run over as soon as his father gave the order.
Yan Xining was somewhat puzzled as to why the other party sent the message at this moment.
She clicked on the message curiously, her expression slightly startled, and then she seemed to be thinking about something.
Situ Feng is asking her to lower the price on behalf of the Situ family, so should she do so?
When her eyes wandered to the item that had been sold for 25 treasure chests, she rolled her eyes, clicked on Situ Feng's light screen and replied a few words.
The bidding in the group continued. Yan Xining stopped sending messages, but she allowed the Situ family to get an island gathering ticket in exchange for 30 filter treasure chests and 2 garbage decomposers.
Ge Lao and his group were still a little confused and didn't know what had happened in such a short period of time.
After all, Yan Xining meant to continue raising the price just now, but why did she suddenly stop now?
Although he felt that it was not a good idea to continue raising the price, he still couldn't help asking.
“Why don’t you raise the price?”
Yan Xining chuckled, looked at him, and replied.
"This price is already a big premium. If we continue, we will suffer huge losses. I have reached a cooperation agreement with the Situ family. They will temporarily withdraw from the bidding in the second or third round and try to let us win the bid."
Liu Duan smiled and said, "Sister Yan, it's normal to have a premium on auction items. If we win the item in the first round, I think we will be willing to withdraw from the second and third rounds..."
Isn’t this just nonsense literature? Everything has been filmed, where else do you want to go if you don’t quit?
After losing so much blood, he really didn't believe that the other party could easily get the second ticket again.
Yan Xining was stunned to see the hidden smile from Liu Duan's simple and honest smile, and she sneered in her heart.
Liu Duan, ah Liu Duan, if she hadn't experienced this, she really wouldn't have known that there was such a person in the team, who was smiling but had a dagger inside, and who could hit the nail on the head.
Liu Duan smiled, and Yan Xining also smiled.
"Xiao Liu, you look to be in your early twenties, right?"
Liu Duan's eyes flashed with surprise, but he still smiled and replied, "I just turned 20 this year."
Yan Xining nodded, "No wonder, young people should look at the long-term! In the first round of auction, the Situ family is obviously determined to win. If I continue to raise the price, the other party will only be relentless and make the premium of the ticket even higher. Why bother to fight for this moment? In the second and third rounds, without the Situ family, the premium will never be higher than that value. As a member of the team, I naturally have to think more about the team, right? Besides, the Situ family has accepted our favor, so they naturally need to return it. Tomorrow, the island gathering will start. We should not make enemies, but we need allies. With the help of people from both sides, are you not satisfied with this result?"
Liu Duan's eyes flickered slightly, and for a moment he regretted being the first to speak out, but he still pretended to be ashamed.
"Satisfied, of course I am satisfied. Look at me, I really didn't think it through."
"It's good that you know this. You should think twice before speaking next time!"
Yan Xining smiled, and then gave an earnest admonition.
Liu Duan was humiliated, but he still put on a smile.
Mr. Ge, who was on the same side as him, quickly tried to smooth things over, "Xiao Yan, you young people are smart and thoughtful! Then let's continue the bidding!"
"it is good."
Yan Xining looked away, and then Mr. Ge wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
Meeting Liu Duan's grateful gaze, he shook his head, and instead looked at Yan Xining with some admiration.
I used to think Yan Xining was stupid, selfish, and didn't care about the overall situation. But looking back today, I think she has become more intelligent.
Sure enough, just as Yan Xining had speculated, the prices in the second and third rounds of bidding did not rise as fast as the first round, and the Situ family did keep their promise and did not participate in these two rounds of bidding.
Jiang Yueshu counted the number of people who were planning to auction their tickets and estimated that there were still six or seven left, so she was not in a hurry anymore.
In the second round, the Situ family was gone, but Yan Xining, who was eyeing the price covetously, kept bidding. When Lu Hansheng pushed the price to 20 treasure chests, he stopped.
Yan Xining successfully obtained an admission ticket to the island gathering, and the deal was concluded with 21 filter treasure chests and 2 garbage decomposers.
Compared to 30 in the first round, 21 is obviously more acceptable.
After one round of bidding, Yan Xining was very happy that she once again defeated Jiang Yueshu's team, whom she regarded as her lifelong enemy, and achieved her goal of getting the admission ticket at a low price.
Mr. Ge and his group were also very happy. They rarely said anything unpleasant, but instead praised her a few words.
Yan Xining shook her head and focused her attention on the third round of bidding.
Lu Hansheng's two bids both stopped at 20 filtered treasure chests. She followed them for two rounds in a row and easily saw that this was the other party's bottom price.
She was thinking whether to continue snatching it from the other party. She would definitely be able to get it with only 21 filter treasure chests and 2 garbage decomposers.
Haha, these people are really stingy!
The five-member group that was considered stingy were also gathered together to discuss.
After failing to get an admission ticket in two rounds of bidding, Lu Hansheng became a little anxious.
"Should we raise the price? Don't let someone suddenly change their mind, otherwise we won't be able to make the deal."
The Situ family and Yan Xining have an intermediate filter and a primary filter. Although it takes several days to accumulate the treasure chests after filtering, these are not a problem as long as the filters are there.
Jiang Yueshu looked through the names of several players whose items had not yet been auctioned, and was very calm.
"In the third round, our highest price is still 20 filter chests and two garbage decomposers. They can take a few tickets, but how can traders wait in line for ten days or half a month to urge for filter chests? They can't take it!"
Situ Xuan, who was listening in, nodded in agreement and interrupted to talk about the current situation of the Situ family.
"Sister Jiang is right. Situ Bang bought an island gathering ticket with 30 filter treasure chests and two garbage decomposers. Now several people on their side are dissatisfied. When they saw that Yan Xining won it with 21 filter treasure chests and two garbage decomposers, they were even more dissatisfied. Now they are talking behind her back and complaining! Situ Bang wanted to bid for another ticket, and the price was 21 filter treasure chests. Now everyone in the family is discussing it? They are not very willing..."
Lu Hansheng was still a little worried and couldn't help but say it again.
"Really? At least your family has your uncle, who can stop your father from bidding... But Yan Xining won't cause any trouble, right?"
The team was formed by Yan Xining, and there were her bootlickers in it. What if they went crazy and insisted on paying a higher price to get the tickets?
Jiang Yueshu chuckled, "Well, let's do this, this round is still according to my instructions. From the fourth round onwards, you can raise the price as you like, and you can learn to buy on credit like them!"
Now Lu Hansheng was satisfied and started the third round of bidding.
His worries were not in vain. This round, Yan Xining continued to bid until she won the admission ticket again with 21 filter treasure chests and two garbage decomposers.
"They're not really going to buy on credit, are they? And she's not going to maliciously raise the price afterwards, is she?"
Lu Hansheng frowned, looking worried. The current situation was not good.
He had read many examples of malicious bidding in novels before. If someone had a grudge against someone, they would raise the price as much as possible during the bidding, and then suddenly say they didn't want it at the last minute.
Although they can buy on credit, the quantity has been increased and they don’t get any advantage!
"Don't worry, I don't think so."
Jiang Yueshu remained calm, and Lu Hansheng didn't understand at all.
It was not until the fourth round of bidding began that Lu Hansheng suddenly received private messages from several people.
When he noticed the name of the player with the admission ticket, he immediately opened the chat box and looked up with joy on his face.
"Oh my god, they don't want to auction it off anymore, they want to set a price and trade it directly!"
"How much is the transaction?" Situ Xuan straightened up and leaned over to take a look.
Lu Hansheng looked at Jiang Yueshu with a complicated expression before showing it to everyone.
"No more, no less, the highest price we can afford, 20 filter treasure chests and 2 garbage decomposers!"
Xie Guangfei watched silently, and suddenly thought of a possibility, so he asked with some surprise.
"Sister Jiang, so when you asked Xiao Lu to bid at that price just now, you were telling the players the price we can accept?"
In this way, players who are not sure whether the admission ticket can reach the expected auction value will give priority to them. After all, they have many treasure chest filters and the price is not low, and it can even prevent some people from having bad intentions.
Jiang Yueshu smiled without saying anything, and everyone else was stunned.
