Chapter 119 – Two-Front Battle (7)

Well, unless you’re some kind of prophet who bought your urn before coming here, just pretend I never said anything. No, actually, it’s still not too late. Just place an order online and have the courier send it straight home.

The item’s a bit weird, sure, but Taobao’s gotta have it. Their slogan might as well be...

There’s nothing you can’t imagine, only things we haven’t sold yet.

“Then I’ll put up all my assets. Total value, about 5.5 billion.”

“Nani? 5.5 billion!”

The host’s pitch completely changed.

Seriously...

Old man, you really put even your coffin money on the line? Do you have to go this far?

I don’t think I’ve got some blood feud with you, right? Do you really need to fight me this hard?

“...”

The whole place fell silent. I’m guessing everyone was too shocked to even scream. Going bankrupt just to buy one thing—what am I even supposed to say to that?

Seeing this, our host could no longer hide his excitement.

“Alright, 5.5 billion once, 5.5 billion twice, 5.5 billion for the th—”

Even so, I couldn’t go soft. The old man was pretty pitiful, and it was about time to end this.

With that thought, Ryuto raised his right hand again.

He gave our rich old man the final blow—and it was a crit.

“100 billion.”

“Aaah—!”

The crowd shattered the silence. They didn’t just gasp; they went straight to screaming.

“Nani? He’s that strong?”

Our rich old man let out a cry, then collapsed weakly into his chair.

Hey, hey, this isn’t a boxing match. We’re just buying stuff. Do you really need to go this hard?

It’s important, so I’ll say it again.

“Ah—this young man has broken our record on his very first try, creating a 100-billion legend, truly unprecedented and unrepeatable! Up until now, every single item has been bought by this one young man alone! He stood against everyone here with his own strength, leaving us speechless! With no room for dispute, our final, ‘Legendary-tier’ item has been taken by this young man!”

Hey, hey, now it’s “Legendary-tier” again? How many times have you changed your wording already? I’ve lost count.

At that moment, the voices around us started up again.

“Ah, that boy’s getting more and more handsome.”

“As expected, he’s no ordinary person. I have to marry my daughter to him.”

This time they sounded even more determined. Also, you have a daughter too? Aren’t we under strict family-planning policies lately? How come everyone suddenly has daughters?

“Hey, you bastard, I already said it earlier. Before that boy even walked in, I’d already decided to marry both my daughters to him. That’s a fact that can’t be changed, so back off if you know what’s good for you.”

A table-slamming sound suddenly cut in.

“The hell you two are talking about—shut the hell up! I told you already, that boy and my eight-year-old daughter already have a ‘done deal’ between them. Get lost, both of you!”

First off, how does someone keep getting more handsome? One minute more handsome than the last? He levels up with time now? Don’t say stuff that completely ignores science, okay?

Second, whether I’m “ordinary” or not has nothing to do with whether you’re marrying your daughter to me. Actually, if I’m not ordinary, you really shouldn’t be doing that, right? “Not ordinary” basically means monster. An outsider. Is marrying your daughter off to a monster or some kind of freak really a good idea?
