Volume 1, Chapter 50: I Am the Capital Tycoon 4

"1 billion," An Qianqian made her first bid.
An uproar swept through the venue.
Yet, the auctioneer's expression remained unchanged.
After the soldier left, Hong Chengchou immediately ordered his personal guards to arrange for a spy who had long been gathering intelligence in Qingjian to come over and identify the person.
Hearing everyone explaining things on his behalf, Liu Yu suddenly realized how ignorant and uninformed he had been, and could not help but let out a dry, awkward chuckle.
Ever since he left the Imperial Academy to become a Censor, he had not played a single game of chess for nearly a year. Picking up the chess pieces again today, he naturally felt a bit rusty. However, the most important thing in chess was mastery and comprehension—planning ten steps ahead based on a single move, which tested one's strategic capability and had little to do with how frequently one played.
"Did you really... not do anything to me, or rather, not do anything to her?" Zhou Sen felt a sense of unease. He did not know where this unsettling feeling came from, but he just wanted to confirm it with Lin Xiafan, or rather, he hoped Lin Xiafan would deny it so that he might feel a little more at ease.
"What? Brother Ning, it only took you three days to reach Master tier in the Korean server?" Hearing this, Qi Heng's hands shook on the steering wheel, and the car almost crashed into the guardrail on the side.
"All right, I said I would go, and I will go. Also, tell the academy's cafeteria to provide you all with extra meals these next few days, and award every student in the academy five strings of cash daily to send back to their families." Li Shen looked amusedly at Di Renjie, who was staring at him with a face full of eager anticipation.
As for the current situation, Liu Jining was well aware that his side certainly had to strive hard for their dreams. At the same time, judging from the current overall state, he was in extremely high spirits and could definitely keep working hard.
Infusing his breath into both feet and pushing off with all his might, his body instantly flashed and shifted sideways, darting out of Bai Weixi's bamboo house and into the open space outside, narrowly dodging that fierce strike.
Before the fortune-teller could finish his sentence, Yang Yanhong had already rushed forward, scaring the fortune-teller into dropping his half-spoken words and fleeing in panic.
Liu Ling smiled faintly and said, "Chief Fan, as far as I know, my Liu Family Village has no grievances or enmities with you bandits of Mount Daxing."
Lu Beichen had some affection for her, and White Moonlight liked Lu Beichen as well. Although the two had not explicitly confessed their feelings, they both knew each other's intentions.
Watching the grey car beside them run parallel to them for a few minutes before suddenly vanishing from sight, Vider spotted it again just as it closely chased the car in front across the intersection, the next second the green light turning red.
Seeing Lin Jingchun nod, Kong Aichun hurriedly gave a tug, pulling Lao Liao back into the yarn shop, while Chai Daqian also dragged Ah Biao over.
Since he could not use a wand, Vider merely used a magnifying glass to observe its exterior without employing any more destructive testing methods. He would be able to study it thoroughly once they arrived at school.
Just as Father Lu said, as long as Lu Huaijin had something to strive for and did not think of giving up, then it was all worth it.
Although Zhao Lingqi had the mind to teach him a lesson, she was afraid that if she hit him too hard, she might actually cause him some serious injury, so she merely chased him without launching an attack.
Watching Xu Cheng slowly raise his head and lock eyes with him, the smile on Li Ning'er's face grew even brighter.
Yet he could actually remember what Zhu Qing's mother looked like—good grief, was his memory really this awesome?
They began raising funds everywhere, determined to gather one million taels of divination fees before Tongfu Inn opened its doors early the next morning.
As for the land within a circle of about ten miles around the Golden Fruit Tree, it was almost entirely occupied by martial artists.
