Chapter 1203 -753: Controlling the World
The second auction item was ultimately won by the white-haired elderly for a whopping ten billion, leaving some in the hall overjoyed and others dejected.
However, tonight’s auction seems far from simple. After the third item, within the next half-hour, a succession of more than a dozen antiques and paintings were auctioned off. All of them were works by famous artists, with the cheapest being over ten million. But clearly, many top tycoons in the hall were somewhat distracted.

Following the initial Longevity Pill’s staggering ten billion price tag, these million-valued antiques and paintings seemed quite ordinary. However, after a piece of porcelain worth thirty million was auctioned off, the elderly on the stage once again became incredibly mysterious.
“Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that you are not too interested in these common treasures. I understand everyone is here for the final highlight. However, I guarantee that you will definitely be interested in the next item. As we all know, Hetian Jade is one of the top jade stones. However, the piece of jade you’re about to see next is somewhat different.”
“This piece of jade is called Heart Jade. Heart Jade is no ordinary stone, as wearing it can keep the wearer cool in summer and warm in winter. A long time ago, at the Victoria Auction House, there was a top jade stone with the same properties, which eventually was taken with two hundred million US dollars.
However, the Heart Jade we’re seeing today is even more unique, it not only keeps its wearer warm in winter and cool in summer, but it can also sense the emotional changes in others.
The starting bid for the Heart Jade is ten billion. Let’s start the auction now.”
As the elder’s words fell, the top tycoons in the hall fell into silence.
If this piece of jade could only make the wearer feel warm in winter and cool in summer, that would be conceivable. After all, such jade has appeared before, and the final buyer was a member of the Rothschild family, a fact that is traceable and thus believable by most people.
But now, the so-called Heart Jade on stage, not only keeps its wearer warm in winter and cool in summer, it can actually sense the emotions and feelings of others, this is no longer a mere fantasy, it’s pure fiction.
What’s more critical is that with a price of ten billion, it has become the most expensive starting bid item since the auction began. In the entire hall, while there were a number who could afford such cash, it’s clear that their final goal isn’t the so-called Heart Jade, but rather the number two Longevity Pill to be unveiled at last.
As for the average wealthy tycoons, even if they had some ideas about the Heart Jade, the ten billion price tag is enough to deter them.
Therefore, an interesting phenomenon occurred: those tycoons who had the capability and money showed no interest in this so-called Heart Jade, while those interested could not afford it.
Naturally, under these circumstances, the hall once again plunged into silence.
The auctioneer on stage had apparently anticipated this situation, as an experienced top auctioneer, faced with the silence of everyone below, the elder showed no panic. Instead, he was filled with confidence that stirred everyone’s emotions, speaking again:
“Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you all are extraordinary individuals, driving cars when you go out, and having air conditioning when you enter. The cooling and warming effects of the Heart Jade might genuinely be superfluous. But this ability to sense emotional changes is quite interesting.
Just imagine, when you negotiate with someone wearing this Heart Jade, even though the other party appears to be calm and collected, as if they have everything under control, the Heart Jade would reveal their true inner state. If the Heart Jade shows that they are restless and anxious inside, then you can easily adjust your negotiation strategy based on these emotional changes. It can be said that the owner of this Heart Jade will have a very advantageous position during negotiations.
Moreover, just like the earlier Longevity Pill, the authenticity of this Heart Jade is guaranteed by our auction house. If this Heart Jade is fake, Great World Auction House is willing to pay ten times the compensation. A ten billion Heart Jade could turn into a hundred billion in compensation if flipped, and for many, it would be even more hopeful that this Heart Jade turns out to be fake, instantly making them billionaires.
Of course, since our auction house dares to guarantee it with our credibility, the probability of this Heart Jade being counterfeit is absolutely zero. After all, over the years since Great World Auction House was established, we have maintained this credibility.”
As the words of the elder fell, the previously silent hall finally saw some disturbance, with many starting to whisper to each other. Clearly, having confirmed that this Heart Jade was real and indeed had a magical effect, these top tycoons began to consider whether the Heart Jade’s ability to detect the inner feelings of others was worth the ten billion price.
Indeed, ten billion is a sky-high price, but if this magical Heart Jade could truly give its wearer an edge in various negotiations, then for the billionaires and trillionaires present, perhaps just one contract could generate a profit of more than ten billion.
At this time, the auctioneer on stage did not show the slightest anxiousness or unease. Instead, his face was written with confidence!
At this moment, Chu Mo at the back of the hall had already narrowed his eyes slightly. In front of Chu Mo, a virtual interface had appeared, invisible to ordinary people, and only Chu Mo, as the system host, could perceive it. Naturally, this virtual interface was the system’s marketplace.
