Chapter 117 Borrowing money to bid on the Mingli Shield, and my beautiful roommate.
*Clang!* As the auctioneer's gavel fell, he announced loudly, "Alright, 2800 million! This gentleman has won the bid for today's Spirit-grade Thunder Seed. This Spirit-grade Thunder Seed was taken from the summit of a mountain peak in the Tianshan Mountains that is perpetually connected to thunderclouds, and we call it Thousand Jun. Thousand Jun possesses extremely strong impact force, and the spatial equivalence effect it generates makes it several times stronger than ordinary thunder."
After Qianjun was won by Zhao Manyan, Mo Fan said with a smile, "Thanks."
"The next item is one that many people are interested in: a giant blue-velvet sparrow egg. It has been confirmed through testing that this egg has a 100% chance of hatching. The starting bid is 70 million, with each bid increment being at least one million. Summoning mages, you may place your bids now. There's another thing I want to mention: this giant blue-velvet sparrow possesses the bloodline of the Penglai Skylark. If it is raised to adulthood, its strength should be comparable to a fully grown warrior-level demon." The auctioneer said earnestly.
As soon as the eggs of the Blue Velvet Giant Sparrow were brought up, the entire auction hall erupted into chaos.
Despite the price tag of 70 million, countless people still flock to it.
Mo Fan was shocked by the selling price. A single egg of a blue-velvet giant sparrow was worth over 70 million, and that was only for an adult with the strength of a warrior general. Wouldn't Jiang Han's little fox be worth over 100 million?
If Jiang Han knew what Mo Fan was thinking, he would definitely teach Mo Fan a lesson he would never forget.
"By the way, Mo Fan, why don't you take a picture of this Blue Velvet Giant Sparrow's egg and make it your contracted beast?" Zhao Manyan said casually.
Mo Fan shrugged helplessly and said, "Do you think I look like someone who can afford this?"
"And Jiang Han, what about you? If you want it, I can help you bid on it." Zhao Manyan turned to look at Jiang Han on the other side.
Jiang Han glanced at the blue velvet giant sparrow egg on the platform and said, "It's too trash. It only has the strength of a warrior general when it grows up. It can't compare to my Xue Ling at all."
"Forehead····"
You know, Jiang Han's little fox was a force to be reckoned with in the freshman competition. Compared to the little fox, the blue velvet giant sparrow egg on the stage was really trash.
Ultimately, the Blue Velvet Giant Sparrow Egg was auctioned off to a member of a large family for 120 million.
The auction continued, and the auctioneer pointed to the shield-like magical artifact on the screen and announced loudly: "The next item for auction is a demon-slaying artifact, the Netherworld Shield. The Netherworld Shield is strong enough to easily block a full-force attack from a general-level demon, and in critical moments, it can release spikes from the shield to create a powerful piercing attack."
After listening to the auctioneer's introduction of the Netherworld Shield, Mo Fan's mouth was practically watering.
The scythe-bone shield that Zhan Kong gave to Mo Fan was destroyed in the demon transformation incident at the stadium a few days ago. Apart from the Blood Beast Boots, he has no other useful magical artifacts. He really wants to buy the Netherworld Shield, but he doesn't know how expensive it will be.
"Could Jiang Han lend me some money? I want to bid on this Netherworld Shield," Mo Fan said, looking at Jiang Han.
Jiang Han didn't expect that Mo Fan would borrow money from him to bid for the Netherworld Shield. That makes sense, in the original story, Mo Fan made a lot of money by selling his War General-level essence to bid for the Netherworld Shield. But now that Jiang Han has taken over the essence of the Scaled Demon Mother, Mo Fan, who has no money, can only borrow money from Jiang Han if he wants to bid for the Netherworld Shield.
Jiang Han thought for a moment and then smiled, "Okay, but I'll charge interest, 1% per day. How about that, not too much?"
"Pfft, Jiang Han, you're really ruthless. Even banks aren't as ruthless as you." Zhao Manyan was shocked by Jiang Han's asking price.
"Jiang Han, you've gone too far. If you don't want to lend it, just say so," Mo Fan said, annoyed.
Jiang Han pulled out a black bank card from his pocket and said calmly, "There's still over 20 million left in here. When you pay back the money, I'll give you an extra 500,000 as interest. You know what the consequences will be if you don't pay it back."
With the 20 million borrowed from Jiang Han, Mo Fan finally had the confidence to auction off the Netherworld Shield.
Many others, like Mo Fan, wanted to bid for the Netherworld Shield, but Mo Fan ultimately won it for 1700 million.
Mo Fan was heartbroken after bidding on the Netherworld Shield; it cost 1700 million! How many commissions would he have to take on to repay that debt? After the auction, Zhao Manyan generously invited Jiang Han and Mo Fan to dinner. During dinner, the three discussed many things, but the most talked about was the college entrance examination.
The Green Campus and the Main Campus of Mingzhu Academy are worlds apart. The real Mingzhu Academy is located on the Main Campus, where the cultivation resources are far richer and the competition is much fiercer. It is extremely difficult to stand out from there.
"Is the competition at the main campus really that fierce?" Mo Fan asked Jiang Han.
"Yeah, there's a Challenge Day on the main campus. The higher your ranking, the more resources you get. You tell me how fierce the competition is. If I hadn't been busy with the Scaled Banshee incident recently, I definitely would have gotten a pretty good ranking last month." If Mo Fan hadn't asked him, Jiang Han would have almost forgotten about the Challenge Day.
"Don't aim too high. Focus on preparing for the college entrance exam next semester. Oh, by the way, Mo Fan, I'm moving out next semester, so the responsibility of managing the dorm will fall to you and Zhang Pinggu," Zhao Manyan said casually.
"No, no, no, you should tell Zhang Pinggu about this. I'm moving out in a couple of days too."
After finishing their meal, Jiang Han greeted Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan, then went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and went home to sleep.
The next morning, Jiang Han was lying in bed sleeping in late when he was woken up by a knock on the door. Jiang Han was also grumpy when he woke up. He moved out of the school dormitory not only to have a quiet cultivation environment, but also so that he could sleep in late without being disturbed.
Jiang Han, wearing only a pair of shorts, climbed out of bed and went to open the door, cursing under his breath.
After the door opened, Jiang Han finally saw who was knocking. It was his landlady.
"Sorry, young man, I'm sorry to have disturbed your rest. I brought two students who are looking to rent a room to see the apartment today. They might become your roommates in the future, and they're both very beautiful," the landlady said with a smile.
Jiang Han didn't pay any attention to the landlady's description of the beautiful woman, and instead said casually, "Auntie, I need to go wash up first. You can take them to see the room."
"OK."
Jiang Han had just finished washing up and came out of the bathroom when he saw a girl with a white rabbit-shaped haircut choosing a room. Jiang Han recognized the girl who was talking to the landlady about the price; she was Mu Nujiao, the beautiful school beauty who was pursued by countless boys in the Qing Campus.
"Oh, it's you! You're our roommate?" the girl with the big white rabbit exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Jiang Han.
This girl with the big white rabbit face is none other than Mu Nujiao's best friend, Ai Tutu. As a fangirl, she decided to rent this house after seeing Jiang Han. As for Sister Mu, she definitely had to bring her along, since Sister Mu couldn't live without her.
"Yes, you must be the people who are looking to rent a room today. Welcome," Jiang Han said casually.
Jiang Han's attitude was indifferent; he didn't fawn over Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu like other male students in the college.
This made Ai Tutu feel a little disappointed, but thinking about it, it made sense. Jiang Han was the male god in the hearts of countless girls in the school. If he were like other boys, would he still be a male god?
"What do you two think, ladies?" the landlady asked with a smile.
Ai Tutu said with a grin, "I really like it, Sister Mu, let's keep it here. Besides, the top student and male god from the main campus are here. Whether you want to find a boyfriend or ask him for advice on cultivation, you can do it here. Renting this place is definitely a good deal for us."
"I'm not used to sharing an apartment, maybe we should find somewhere else," Mu Nujiao said after thinking for a moment.
It would be absolutely impossible for Jiang Han to say that he had no interest in these two beauties. Who wouldn't want to chat with two attractive female roommates while cultivating?
P.S.: I feel this chapter wasn't written very well, sorry.
