Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Damn! I’m glad I didn’t give up. At long last, the auction of this treasured sword has finally begun!”

“Yeah, I had many things to do these past few days, but I postponed all my business just to wait for the auction of this Tai’a sword.”

“What are you complaining about? My little fairy at home has been calling me for days to come back, but I haven’t gone. Do you know how enchanting she is when she wears black stockings?”

“Old Wang, isn’t your little fairy just that young model lover of yours?” “Hahaha! You actually resisted her just to attend the Tai’a sword’s auction?”

“By the way, should we invite Ah Xiang to join us? You might not be able to satisfy her alone.”

“Get lost, she’s mine and mine alone.”

Truth be told, many people at the venue had long been anticipating the auction of national treasures like the Imperial Jade Seal, the Nine Zhou Ding, and the

Tai’a sword, among others. However, they were only auctioned on the last day.

They had postponed many important matters just to witness this grand event. Fortunately, their patience paid off.

“12.1 billion! This treasure belongs to our Jiangnan Museum!” “Give it up! The Shanghai Museum bids 12.5 billion!”

“The Forbidden City Museum bids 13 billion!”

When Qin Rubing began the bidding, the atmosphere became lively, with bids echoing throughout the venue. Smaller museums simply could not even hope to compete; it was an exclusive battle among the top ten domestic museums. Lin Yide looked at the man beside him with eager eyes; this was the official representative ot the local government in Jiangnan who had spoken with him on the phone last time. He had personally attended the auction this time.

“Mr. Ji, I haven’t used much of the 15-billion budget you approved. Do you think we should bid on the Tai’a sword?” Lin Yide cautiously asked.

“If you’re not interested in the treasures that follow, then bid on this Tai’a sword!” Mr. Ji, Jiangnan’s official representative, said with a stern tone, eyes closed.

“Um… Mr. Ji, this is the Tai’a sword we’re talking about. The ‘Qin’ character on its hilt is said to be personally engraved by Emperor Qin Shi Huang himself, and it’s one of the top ten famous swords in China. Think about it: if the Tai’a sword ends up in Jiangnan, it would certainly be a blessing.”

Lin Yide really wanted to secure the Tai’a sword, but the budget was insufficient. No matter how much support they got from the Jiangnan government, they could not compete with Shanghai or the capital.

Mr. Ji did not say anything, and had only put on his headphones. He was well aware that the Imperial Jade Seal was out of reach for Jiangnan, but they had to strive for the second and third-ranked national treasures. Their strategy was to give up on the Imperial Jade Seal and secure two other national treasures, which would be a profitable outcome.

“I wonder how much the Tai’a sword will sell for?”

“It’ll definitely be high. It’s only been a few minutes, and it’s already reached 1.5 billion!”

“Will it suddenly jump to 2 billion?”

“I don’t know, a sword like this has a rich history and cultural heritage, but it’s so small! I doubt it’ll fetch this highly…”

“No matter how famous a sword is, it won’t be as valuable as a bronze cauldron.

Maybe it’ll be less than 2 billion?”

“Who knows? Let’s just wait and see!”

“I’m actually looking forward to the auction price of the Suihou Pearl. I heard it’s a second-grade cultural relic because it’s simply a diamond! Many foreign tycoons want to bid on it.”

“Why is it defined as a second-grade cultural relic? Is it deliberately put up for international competition?”

“Exactly. It’s just a large diamond, after all. It doesn’t have any significant cultural or historical value, unlike the Tai’a sword and the Nine Zhou Ding. If a foreigner can afford it, the government will even earn 20% tax revenue from it.”

“So, even with a 20% tax revenue, if foreign tycoons participate, this treasure could become incredibly expensive. Luo Feng is going to make quite a fortune!”

“Well, the government is happy to let foreign capital flow in and collect tax revenue, so why not?”

“This Tai’a sword auction has become the second most popular event on the foreign internet, right after the Imperial Jade Seal! Many foreign netizens want to know how much this remarkable sword of the great Chinese Emperor Qin Shi Huang will sell for and who will be the lucky buyer.”

“Swords are weapons, and Western youth are always fascinated by them. It’s normal!”

“2 billion! The Shanghai Museum bids 2 billion! The Qin Tai’a sword belongs to our Shanghai Museum!”

Clearly, faced with a price of 1.5 billion, Shanghai Museum’s Sun Daozhen did not want to waste any more time. The wealthy museum raised the bid by 5 billion, sending the atmosphere in the venue to a new high..
