After room 169 placed their bid, the Nutrient Injection did not immediately follow up.
The others were waiting for him to bid, as the room was filled with keen observers. Since he had already successfully bid on an item, it was expected that he wouldn't easily give up.
Almost half a minute passed, and the auctioneer was about to start counting down when someone decided to raise the bid again.
Before long, the price climbed to 34 billion... truly, the number of wealthy people is astonishing.
Interestingly, room 169 only made one bid and thereafter remained silent.
"34 billion..." murmured the Nutrient Injection, and then decisively reported a price.
"40 billion!" the auctioneer enthusiastically announced, "Once again, a bid from the distinguished guest in room 112!"
"This distinguished guest definitely acts boldly, raising the bid by a whole 6 billion!"
"I have to admit, there are plenty of farsighted people, and a lot of wealthy ones as well... Could this be the final price?"
