When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 876 - 343: Ancient Gold Box (Part 2)

In the end, Han Minghui won the golden toilet for seventeen million five hundred thousand. When she went to receive the golden toilet, she smiled at Li Xiu.

Li Xiu wasn't interested in the subsequent auction items. As he watched one curious item after another being auctioned off, he merely observed and didn't make any more bids.

However, Sun Wuxi, beside him, bid on several items. Although the value of each wasn't high, combined they amounted to over ten million.

Finally, it was time for the Demon Country Ancient Gold Box to appear. It was said that five of them were to be auctioned this time.

Two were provided by Han Minghui from Celestial Communication City, while the other three were sourced from the city's vaults.

The five Demon Country Ancient Gold Boxes were auctioned separately. The first one brought out was the one provided by Han Minghui from Celestial Communication City.

Li Xiu had always been curious about what the Demon Country Ancient Gold Box looked like. Now he finally saw it: a cubic box with a side length of about one meter, entirely golden yellow. However, the color was definitely not gold—it was somewhat similar to the color of red copper.

The box was covered with many strange patterns. They didn't look like patterns, nor like symbols. Instead, they resembled geometric designs overlapping according to some specific rule.

After looking for a while, Li Xiu didn't see any lock on that ancient gold box, nor did he find where it could be opened.

"The starting price for the Demon Country Ancient Gold Box found in Celestial Communication City's vault is eight million, with each increase not less than one hundred thousand. Everyone may begin bidding now."

To Li Xiu's surprise, the starting price for the Demon Country Ancient Gold Box was lower than that of the golden toilet. Moreover, the golden toilet required a minimum increment of five hundred thousand, while this only required one hundred thousand.

"The Demon Country Ancient Gold Box carries a high gamble factor, unlike the golden toilet, which at least visibly resembles gold material. Therefore, generally speaking, the starting price for a Demon Country Ancient Gold Box isn't very high. Previously, the highest starting price in auctions for these boxes didn't exceed five million. This time, the starting price could rise to eight million because this ancient gold box comes from Celestial Communication City." Sun Wuxi explained.

While Sun Wuxi was explaining, someone had already started raising their paddle.

The previous auctions weren't very intense, but now it suddenly became fierce, with paddles being raised everywhere, and the price shot up to one hundred million in just a few minutes.

Sun Wuxi clicked his tongue and said, "These people sure are willing to spend extravagantly."

"Although Celestial Communication City is the Princess City, it doesn't guarantee that these Demon Country Ancient Gold Boxes contain valuable items. Why are they so certain?" Li Xiu asked with some confusion.

"Fourth Master, didn't you know?" Wan Chaoxin looked at Li Xiu with curiosity.

"Know what?" Li Xiu asked, puzzled.

"These Demon Country Ancient Gold Boxes from Celestial Communication City were reportedly taken from the city's vault, which is actually beneath the princess's chambers. Six boxes in total were brought back from there. Three people went, and each got two boxes. Besides Vice President Han's two Demon Country Ancient Gold Boxes, the other four have been opened over the years, and all contained valuable items. It's estimated that the least valuable item from one of the ancient gold boxes could still sell for over a hundred million."

"I see." Li Xiu finally understood why these people were willing to gamble so heavily; there was already a precedent.

"Among those four ancient gold boxes, the most valuable item discovered was a Demon Spirit Egg, reportedly hatched into a Divine Position Level demon spirit embryo." Wan Chaoxin continued.

"Why reportedly?" Li Xiu found Wan Chaoxin's choice of words intriguing.

"Because no one has seen the demon spirit embryo. That Demon Country Ancient Gold Box ended up in the hands of outsiders, or so I've heard."

"Outsiders? Who?" Li Xiu asked in surprise.

"I've heard it was the Xiao Family from the Desha Group, but it's just hearsay. The specifics aren't clear since no one has seen that Divine Position Demon Spirit juvenile." Wan Chaoxin pondered aloud. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The auction continued fiercely, with the price reaching one hundred and thirty million, and several people still holding up their paddles.

Although Li Xiu could afford such an amount, he had no intention of gambling and simply watched from the side without placing a bid.

When the price reached one hundred and fifty million, the number of bidders decreased significantly, leaving only three people in contention.

One was Liu He, who had earlier competed with Li Xiu for the golden toilet, another was an old unyielding figure, and the last was someone from the Li Family.

"Fourth Master, don't you plan to bid?" Wan Chaoxin asked, puzzled that Li Xiu hadn't bid at all.

"I did plan to bid initially, but the price was too high, so I gave up." Li Xiu said, spreading his hands.

"Since you're giving up, let me give it a try then." Wan Chaoxin said, raising his paddle to join the bidding.

In the end, the Ancient Gold Box from Celestial Communication City was taken by a determined Liu He for one hundred and seventy-nine million, while Wan Chaoxin returned empty-handed.

After Liu He went on stage, he didn't take the Demon Country Ancient Gold Box away immediately. Instead, he said with a grin, "I believe everyone's curious about what's in this Celestial Communication City Ancient Gold Box. I'll open it now for everyone to witness."

"Huh, what's that old rascal Liu He up to? He's daring to open the box here? Isn't he afraid that if he finds something good, someone might target him?" Sun Wuxi frowned.
