As Song Yun stood as a guard at the entrance of the waiting room to make sure no one disturbs his daughter and son-in-law, both of them took their seats and started drinking water.
Mark then collapsed on the sofa and fell into deep thoughts.
"Okay, so far, I earned about 1,773,500 gold coins only from the rights. And all of that belongs to me. The system would gain nothing because it doesn't have any authority over the rights.
Since I only became richer from this event, I don't need to feel stressed about the biddings that didn't meet my expectations.
Hmm… wait a second. If I add the weapon sales, then, it will be over 2 million gold coins, correct?
If I had to give away 2% of my income to Song Yue, then, I should already give more than 40,000 gold coins to her. And what about the remaining items? If it will cross 10 million, I might have to give more than 200,000 gold coins to her.
After getting the lifetime settlement, what if she cancels the engagement and moves out? I would rather marry her than let her get away with so much money. Damn… should I just go back on my word?"
While he had a good impression of Song Yue and fairly likes her to the extent of developing a casual relationship, if such a huge amount of money comes into the equation, unfortunately, it changes his perception.
It's not that Mark was a slave of money. His body, Lu Zhen loves it too much since his childhood, and the greed for gold is ingrained in his bones so deeply that Mark couldn't fight against that temptation.
Perhaps, if Song Yue's relationship with Mark is as strong as Alina or Allen, he wouldn't have these thoughts but at the moment, he doesn't have any strong reason to give away so much amount of money to Song Yue just so that he continuously keep her by his side.
As Mark was trapped in a dilemma on whether to go back on his word or give up a such huge amount of money, Song Yue opened her mouth as she took the seat beside him, "Lu Zhen, can I say something?"
Because of the sound augmentation pill, she spoke almost as if she was whispering to him.
And that appeared loud enough for Mark to return to reality from his deep thoughts.
He looked at her, "What is it?"
"You told me that you will give me a 2% share of the earnings even from this auction but it looks like the overall amount is a lot more than I imagined," replied Song Yue in a firm tone. She added, "I'm sure that you will also honor your promise even though I didn't work hard to receive such an amount. However, having too much amount of money might have an adverse impact on my mind. I want to continue our relationship just like how it always has been."
"Hmm?" Mark was taken aback by her response. He didn't expect Song Yue to talk about the same topic that's been bugging him right now. At the same time, he got a strong feeling that his fiancée doesn't want the money. "What do you mean? Say it clearly."

Looking straight into his eyes, Song Yue answered without any hesitation in her eyes, "For the sake of my mental health, I don't wish to take the promised 2% share from this expo."
"Eh? You don't want it?" Mark was shocked. He reminded her immediately, "Once this is over, you might earn more than a hundred thousand gold coins, you know."
"I know." Song Yue nodded firmly.
Seeing that the lady doesn't have an interest in the money, Mark felt ashamed of himself for giving more importance to money. And then, as Song Yue closed her eyes and take a short nap, he stared at her beautiful face. His heart skipped a beat once again.
In the end, he sighed inwardly, "If only we get engaged under different circumstances…"
Sometime later;
Mark and Song Yue returned to the auction hall after the short break. He found almost half of the tables were emptied. He doesn't know why they left when they can still try their luck with Panzer but then again, the three main clients were there. The others only existed to see his earnings and get jealous or admire him. He didn't dwell on it much and continued to walk to the podium.
Clearing her throat, Song Yue greeted everyone with a smile on her face. "Welcome to the second phase of Expo 1783. As we earlier mentioned, the weapons in this phase will have separate protection periods. And there won't be buyouts.
Due to their sizes, we cannot display the next set of items here and will only speak of the name.
And let me also inform you that you wouldn't need to pay all the money upon signing the contract.
As long as you pay at least 20% of the bidding fee, a preliminary contract can be signed for the main contract. And then, you will one week of time to pay the remaining 80% amount along with the original payment for the items in bulk.
If you chose such option and then fail to pay the amount within the time, the contract will turn void, and that 20% upfront amount will not be returned to the customer. It will be treated as compensation for causing a loss.
Secondly, you can also choose to pay with ether crystals instead of gold coins. However, only high-quality crystals will be accepted and each such crystal of 10-carat size will be equivalent to 1000 gold coins.
We won't accept weapons or any other items as a replacement for gold coins no matter what kind of grade they are in.
Please keep this set of rules in mind as we proceed with the auction.
Our next item to be auctioned is the Panzerkampfwagen-I or you can call it Panzer-I by short.
Before we start the bidding, let me inform you that this weapon is already sold to several parties. Hence, the auction won't be for its rights. However, we can block further orders for the next three months.

This auction is for a total of 1000 vehicles. Of them, 50 will be given at first as soon as the contract is signed.
And within three months i.e. twelve weeks of time, the remaining 950 vehicles will be delivered to the customer.
Each Panzer cost 500 gold coins. So, their total worth is about 500 thousand gold coins. So, we'll start the bid with 500,000 gold coins and each bid will be raised by 5000.
Let the auction begin…"
"505" "510" "515"… "645" "650"… "785" "790"… "905" "910"… "965"
From the start, a fierce battle emerged between Shen Ling and Shang Fu. However, the princess of Western Moon isn't keen on spending too much additional money on panzers just so that a thousand can be delivered to the kingdom in a quick time.
She only thought of playing with Shang Fu, trying to spend his money. But then, as she was about to stop at 800k, Prince Qin Yu told her to procure them at all costs and he will be paying from his pockets.
Since Qin Yu didn't know whether he could get back those aircraft with him or not but he thought of at least buy a thousand Panzers to prepare his own army.
Each one of them might be only powerful enough to take out 3-circle Spirit Warriors but when 1000 of them attack at the same time, he could basically turn around the tide of war. All he needed are just civilian soldiers who are expendable.
As a result, Shen Ling continued with her bidding.
"965… once… twice…" *ting* "sold"
"Congratulations, No. 3 on purchasing 1000 Panzers"
Eventually, Shang Fu backed down as he could afford to wait for three months to order Panzers. He had 100 million gold coins worth of deal with Mark in case the latter helps him to acquire the fire seed. Hence, Emperor Shang felt like he can order them later.
Meanwhile, Mark once again felt elated on selling the Panzers, almost at double the price. He gestured for Alina to hand over the contract to Shen Ling while sending a message to Allen through the system about removing the Panzer from the display.
Song Yue nodded in happiness for Mark and continued, "The next item to be auctioned is a light multirole vehicle. We call it Iveco-LMV. Each piece cost 2500 gold coins and has a protection period of 6 months. While the minimum assured order is 1000 in number, you will be bidding for 100 of them, worth 250k gold coins.
The starting bid for 6 months of rights is 100,000 gold coins and each bid is raised by 5000."
The whole hall became silent for a while.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
