C1318 Draw Lots
" That's right! "
There were a total of twenty fruits, which meant that anyone who picked the fruit within a certain period of time would be able to obtain ten fruits.
It was quite a good reward!
The Human-Faced Ghost Tree itself was precious, and the fruits it produced had many miraculous effects. Even if a person were to only take a third of it, it would still make one's eyes go red with envy.
After all, there were so many people present. If they were to divide it evenly, most people would not even get half of it!
At this time, Ye Zhengxiong and the others couldn't help but sigh.
"What? This rule is too unfriendly!" Loong Wanyu could not help but curl her lips and roll her eyes.
"It is very unfriendly." Loong Xiangyang was also helpless. This rule basically had no fate with martial artists who were relatively weaker.
It wasn't just them who discovered it, the big shots present also saw it. This final grand show was simply for the experts to play. It did not have anything to do with small shrimps like them.
It wasn't fair!
Looking at the sighing crowd, Gu Ling could not help but laugh. "There's no need to be anxious, everyone. There are a total of 20 Human-Faced Ghost Tree fruits. Our auction house can get at least half of them. We've already gotten some of them, so these 10 fruits... We'll sell them all, the highest bidder wins!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the big shots present finally eased up.
Fortunately, they thought that they wouldn't have the chance to participate in the competition, but it turned out that there was still a chance.
However, after thinking about it, the auction house only had a total of ten fruits to sell. There were so many big shots present. If they wanted to obtain some fruits from the subsequent competition, they would probably have to spend a lot of money!
Many people immediately felt a headache coming on.
Of course, there were also some people secretly delighted. They had brought an expert with them. If the expert beside them could take the initiative to obtain the fruits from the Human-Faced Ghost Tree, they would not need to use a high price to participate in the auction.
Faced with the mysterious rules of the organizer, some of the experts, including Rong Biao, revealed a look of wild joy.
This was simply a rule that was tailor-made for them!
Even the heavens were helping them!
At this moment, Loong Wanyu could not help looking at Lee Yifann with a smile. "Big Brother Lee, this is a good opportunity! This rule seems to be set for you. You have to grasp this opportunity well!"
She was originally wondering why Lee Yifann did not make a move. She thought that he was not interested in the Human-Faced Ghost Tree. It turned out that Lee Yifann had already predicted that there would be such a competition rule next. That was why he was so calm.
Lee Yifann shook his head. "You are too naive."
"Uh..." Loong Wanyu was stunned.
"There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Think about it, if you really let someone go up and pluck the fruit, it will belong to the person who plucked it. Wouldn't it be letting others take advantage of it? " Lee Yifann explained faintly.
Loong Wanyu was stunned once again, "It seems to be so."
Loong Changgeng also thought that something was not right, "En, I'm afraid that plucking the fruit is not an ordinary difficulty. If the Loongtian Auction House had the ability, they would have picked the fruit by themselves instead of taking it out to benefit others!"
"Yes!" Long Yiming agreed with him, "It seems like there must be a trap in this place. I'm afraid that those who go up there will suffer losses one by one!"
No one dared to look down on the Loongtian Auction House. In terms of tricks, none of them dared to say that they could beat this kind of giant auction house.
After Lee Yifann's reminder, the people of the Ye Family also reacted.
"Zi Yun, it doesn't seem to be that simple." Ye Zhenglong's eyes were filled with deep thoughts.
"En, it is indeed not simple! It looks like they're using us to free the auction house to harvest the fruits." Ye Ziyun herself was also a businessman, so she naturally understood the twists and turns of the matter.
"I estimate that the fruits in the Human-Faced Ghost Tree that are easier to pick have long been picked by the Loongtian Auction House. If I want to pick the rest of them, I'm afraid it will be as difficult as ascending to the heavens!" Ye Zhenglong cursed in his heart for being shameless. He nearly fell into the Loongtian Auction House's trap!
He really knew how to scheme!
It wasn't just them, some of the people present also thought of it.
Some of the big shots had seen all sorts of things and were not fools. Very soon, they understood that they were using them as guinea pigs!
If things went wrong, not only would they not be able to pick the fruit, they might even lose their lives.
No wonder Gu Ling kept reminding them that it was very dangerous to pick the fruit!
What a scam!
Gu Ling saw some people discussing among themselves and also noticed the trap. She did not defend herself and calmly said, "Everyone knows the rules very well. How is it going? Everyone knows it in their hearts. However, since some people also understand the purpose of the auction, I will remind everyone who is about to make a move. Act according to your abilities! Don't force yourself! Of course, as the person in charge of the auction house, I will also do my best to be responsible for everyone's lives. Regardless of whether I succeed or not, no matter how many fruits I pluck, if I don't stop after five minutes... We will save them!"
The Loongtian Auction House didn't want to offend anyone. After all, business had to be done at a steady rate. In the future, the auction house would still be counting on them to continue plundering money from these people. Of course, they couldn't just watch them die in vain.
The reminder undoubtedly caused the fanatical crowd to pour a bucket of cold water on them.
"It's really like that!" Loong Xiangyang's eyes sparkled.
Loong Changgeng's eyes slightly narrowed, "Looks like in order to obtain the fruit, you have to pay a huge price."
"Big Brother Lee, is there no problem?" Loong Wanyu looked at Lee Yifann worriedly.
Lee Yifann looked calm and smiled calmly. "If you want to get something good, you naturally have to take some risks."
On the other side, under the arrangement of Gu Ling, those who were willing to go up the platform to pick the fruits all reported their names, and Lee Yifann was the last one.
To him, there was no difference between the first and the last one. With his eyesight, he could tell that the remaining twenty fruits of the Human-Faced Ghost Tree were very difficult to pick.
"Alright, I have tabulated the names of all those who are willing to go up the platform! However, in order to express fairness and reduce some objections, I chose to draw lots to decide the order of the participants. Does that mean everyone has no objections?" Gu Ling's gaze swept across everyone's faces.
"No objections!"
"It's very fair!"
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Whoever gambled luck first would have to depend on their own life. It was not something that could be forced.
After all, no one wanted others to be the first to take the initiative.
Under everyone's gaze, the System that had drawn the lots started to arrange the lots.
After a while, the results of the lots were out.
"Haha! Great, I'll be the first!" An unknown martial artist who had obtained first laughed maniacally.
Many people looked at him with envious eyes. What kind of bad luck did he have!
"Miss, I'm second!" The old man beside Yi Xue got second place.
