The reaction was a lot more intense than when it sensed the Element Chapter. This showed that the Origin Chapter was a lot more important than the previous Augments.

  But Lin Yun remained calm and didn’t bid even though he wanted to fuse it with the Book of Death immediately.

  Something that only had research value would only interest those crazy about research or some dark mages. Aside from these, no one would bid.

  After all, there were two reasons for something like that to be auctioned: Either the item had already been thoroughly studied, or it had no value and would be auctioned at a high price for fun.

  Very few people were interested since there were plenty of similar items at every Starry Sky Auction.

  Within three minutes, the price slowly rose to 960,000 purple golds.

  Wilder was a bit dissatisfied with the price. Although the starting bid had been somewhat high, it hadn’t greatly increased and would at best reach 1,300,000 purple golds.

  ‘Damn, this won’t do, this is the item with the highest starting price that our family auctioned, how could it only be worth 960,000 purple golds?

  ‘I have to increase its price, but what if no one bids after me?’


  Wilder looked at the seemingly uninterested Lin Yun, rolled his eyes, and smiled.

  “1,500,000!”


  After shouting, Wilder immediately taunted Lin Yun.

  And sure enough, Lin Yun immediately started bidding as if he had been invited to battle.

  “1,600,000!”


  Wilder was overjoyed and kept shouting.

  “1,800,000.”


  “1,900,000!”


  “2,000,000!”


  In less than five seconds, the price soared from 1,500,000 purple golds to 2,000,000. After yelling two million, Wilder was getting ready to increase the price once again, when he suddenly realized that Lin Yun stopped bidding.

  Cold sweat suddenly trickled down Wilder’s face.

  No one would keep bidding for a broken item that only had some research value. Only Lin Yun would be willing to keep bidding.

  If Lin Yun wasn’t willing to bid again, then it would be the equivalent of Wilder spending a lot of money to buy back the item he auctioned.

  The Starry Sky College didn’t really care about these matters since they took a 10% commission. It didn’t matter who bought a lot. After all, even if someone auctioned an item and bought it back, they would still have to pay the 10% commission.

  Moreover, people bid on their own items to increase their value every year, and it wasn’t rare for some to fail.

  No one knew who the seller was at the time of the auction, but it would be a different matter after the auction. Someone would dig out information every year, and some people would become laughingstocks for a decade.

  Naturally, some would be successful and sell their items at a high price. They would be praised and no one would find it unreasonable. In the Odin Kingdom, being able to sell something at ten times its price was a skill.

  “2,000,000 once…”


  Wilder’s expression became unsightly as the auctioneer started the countdown. It seemed that after the auction, they would become the biggest joke of this auction and their name would even be mentioned as a joke outside the Odin Kingdom.

  “2,000,000 twice…”


  At that time, Lin Yun bid, “2,010,000.”


  He smiled at Wilder, and seeing his unsightly expression, he suddenly understood that the Origin Chapter had been auctioned by the Rodney Family. They would have been embarrassed if Wilder bought it back.

  He only bid 10,000 more, but this also indicated that he wanted that thing and wasn’t just trying to anger Wilder.

  Wilder also understood, but he didn’t dare to bid a single extra purple gold. He wasn’t sure whether Lin Yun really wanted it or wanted to push him back down after he managed to climb out of a precipice.

  What if this was another trap?

  If by any chance…


  If he really tricked him again, his reputation would be thoroughly trampled and everyone would make fun of his intelligence.

  Wilder had a dark and unsightly expression. He was fumingly glaring at Lin Yun, yet he didn’t dare to bid an extra purple gold.

  And below, the auctioneer’s countdown also reached its end. Lin Yun ultimately bought the Origin Chapter.

  ‘2,010,000, it’s a gift! If not for the Rodney Family taking it out for me, I might have not found it even after a millennium. Turns out it was in the Rodney Family’s treasury.

  ‘The Rodney Family auctioned it and I would have definitely bought it for 200,000,000 purple golds. Unfortunately for them, it ended up being worth 2,010,000 purple golds.’
