Chapter 311 - 307: Bidding War

The Third Item was shown off in front of everyone. While the previous item was incredible, and they had managed to shock Ryder, it was not to the extent the third item surprised him.

There was a weird look on his face as he heard the Auctioneer explained about the item.

"This is the feces of the Antarctic Spirit Mammoth. As you all may know, the Antarctic Spirit Mammoths is a rare to find species that are said to have gone extinct, but we have managed to find it's feces by using our extensive resources," the auctioneer said.

"For those of you that may not know about it, the Antarctic Spirit Mammoths are said to be special Spirit Beings whose bodies store the most amount of natural energy, and their feces have the ability that many may find useful," He added.

'What the actual heck. I can believe he's talking that proudly about feces of something,' Ryder thought with a weird look on his face. He was working really hard not to let his disgusted expression show on his face.

" When you consume this item, it will give you the energy of a dragon. Your strength would double for an entire week. More importantly, your little guy would become like a Mighty mammoth when you're in bed with your partners at night," the Auctioneer further explained.

" So it's like a natural performance enhancement drug that works as a viagra. I never thought I'd see something like this. I'm glad the System Store doesn't have items like this," Ryder muttered in an inaudible tone.

"The Bid will start at One Million Dollars. Each increment in the bid shall be of hundred thousand dollars at minimum," the Auctioneer started the auction of the third item.

Ryder watched people bid on the item in such excitement that it surprised even him.

"Those guys? Don't they know that they would have to eat the feces to get the effects? Paying millions of dollars to eat feces, I can't believe it's really happening," Ryder let out as he smiled wryly.

"For some people, the effects outweigh the things they have to go through to get them. Look at Major General Raul. It seems like he really wants it. He's bidding so fiercely. That makes sense, as well. He's in the army. He would look for items that can make him strong at times of need," Shu muttered, shaking his head.

" He can win this bid. If he wants to eat it that badly," Ryder muttered as he smiled.

"I have a plan," He said to Shu as he grinned.

"What plan?" Shu asked Ryder in confusion.

"Old Zhu, stop bidding against me. We in the army need something like this more. Don't bid against me," Major General Raul said to a bald man who was competing against him.

These two were the only ones that were still bidding as the price reached Eight Million Dollars.

"I need it as well. To show my wife that I'm not weak. Don't bid against me!" the bald man replied as he refused to budge.

"8.5 Million Dollars!" He raised the bid.

Major General Raul glared at the man in anger.

"Nine Million Dollars! I'll buy it at any cost! I'll see how you stop me! If you want that, get ready to pay a lot!" Major General Raul said as he raised the bid again.

"9.5 Million Dollars!" The bald man said after some hesitation.

"Ten Million Dollars," Major General Raul said as he raised the bid again.

The bald man looked even more hesitant than ever. He didn't raise the bid again as he fell in deep thought.

"Hmph, you can keep it. I'm not going to fight you over it," He ultimately said as he pulled himself out of the bidding wars.

A smile appeared on Major General Raul's face as he folded his arms.

"The Current Bid is at Ten Million Dollars. Is there anyone willing to raise the bid?" The Auctioneer asked as he glanced at everyone.

"Ten Million... 1."

"Ten Million... 2."

The closer the Auctioneer reached to finalizing the bid, the happier Major General Raul became.

"Ten Mil-"

The Auctioneer was about to finalize the bid when he stopped as he heard another Voice.

"Ten Million Hundred Thousand  Dollars!" Ryder let out loud right at the last time.

His voice managed to shock everyone, including Shu.

"What are you doing? Do you want this item too?" Shu asked weirdly.

"Maybe," Ryder muttered with an amused smile on his face.

Major General Raul looked at Ryder as he clenched his fist.

"Father, that bastard is intentionally making it difficult for us! We can't lose to him!" Rahil told his father as he glared at Ryder. He didn't want to lose to Ryder.

"We can't compare in money to the Maxwell Family, but I'm not going to give up. If they want a bidding war, they'll get a bidding war!" Major General Raul muttered. " Even if they win in the end, they'll have to pay a massive price."

"Why is everyone so shocked? Continued the proceedings," Ryder said as he saw everyone looking at him.

" This Gentleman here bid Eleven Million for this marvelous item. Is there anyone willing to bid higher? Just remember, it might be the last Antarctic Spirit Mammoth feces that will ever be discovered. Your only chance to get this historic item," The Auctioneer said.

Ryder wanted to laugh out loud as he heard the words of the man. He described this item in such an interesting way, ignoring what it actually was.

" Twelve Million Dollars," Major General Raul said as he bid again. His face was covered in anger.

"Twelve Million Hundred Thousand Dollars," Ryder let out.

"You!" Major General Rahil muttered as he clenched his fist in anger. He was controlling himself a lot.

"Thirteen Million Dollars," Major General Raul said instantly.

"Thirteen Million Hundred Thousand Dollars," Ryder let out with an innocent smile.

The Bidding Wars continued as Major General Raul kept increasing the bid by a million every time in anger while Ryder bid with only a Hundred Thousand more than him.

"Twenty Million Dollars!" Major General Raul said. Even he was starting to hesitate at this point.

"Twenty Million Hundred Thousand Dollars," Ryder casually raised the bid.

"You little boy! Stop this instant! I need it more than you do!" Major General Raul said as he looked at Ryder.

"It's not about needing. If the world worked on needs, people wouldn't be dying of hunger every day. Here, it's about bidding. You have money, bid. If you don't, then you can sit back calmly," Ryder replied as he rolled his eyes.
