Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Chapter 559: The Righteous Lin Yuan

Before Wang Fuxiang finished speaking, a clear voice exclaimed, “Your bids are too high. Stop increasing it.”

Wang Fuxiang was interrupted just as she was about to increase her bid. Her tightly knitted brow drew even tighter.

When she realized that the person who had interrupted her was the group admin, she raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Wang Fuxiang did not expect the group admin’s voice to sound so young. It had an indescribable magnetism to it.

The voice comforted Wang Fuxiang.

When Lin Yuan called for the bidding to stop, everyone’s eyes landed on him.

Lin Yuan could feel all their gazes on him. He grabbed the platter of elemental pearls from Listen’s hands and raised it in the air.

“The aim of the group welfare is to give out welfare. The bids for these heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls are already too high. It defeats the purpose of welfare,” said Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan uttered those words full of righteousness.

At that moment, the living embodiment of righteousness that was Lin Yuan stunned all the people present.

Although it was a group welfare auction, it was no different from a regular auction in the eyes of the people present.

The fact that Lin Yuan was willing to auction off the 9.9 purity Cloud Dream Lake pearls was enough to be considered welfare.

Moreover, the people who won them could take their pick from 48 types.

It was up to the participants and their resources to decide the final bid.

However, the people present felt a touch of warmth when Lin Yuan called for the bidding to halt.

Although the atmosphere in the Purchase With No Loss store was great, the group admin often only read through the logs and did not post messages.

The group members felt a tinge of gentleness from the group admin’s action of calling for the bids to stop.

Wang Fuxiang also felt the kindness of this strange mask-wearing youth.

Nonetheless, Wang Fuxiang was set on owning these Cloud Dream Lake pearls.

During the earlier bidding, Wang Fuxiang had already prepared herself for the trade-off.

“Before the group admin called for the bidding to end, I was the last to make a bid. How about you just hand these Cloud Dream Lake pearls to me?”

Duan He and Master Duan Li were both ready to fight when Lin Yuan called for the bidding to stop.

Duan He had nothing left, and he was ready to throw in the spiritual ingredients he had initially prepared to give to his main fey for it to break through to Myth II.

Logically, Duan He knew that he should not. Thus, he gave up the bidding war after a moment’s contemplation.

Whereas Master Duan Li still had some resources left in her bank. As a Class 4 Creation Master, Master Duan Li had about as many resources as Lin Yuan.

She worked hard to earn money, but she was very thrifty. Thus, she had stored up a sizable treasury of resources.

She took another look at the platter of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls and clenched her fist.

It’s just a few source-type items. I’ll work even harder and earn them back after I nurture a few feys.

After she made her decision, Master Duan Li stepped toward Wang Fuxiang and said, “If you bid again, so will I. You’re not the only one who has the means to bid. By hook or by crook, those elemental pearls are mine.”

Wang Fuxiang smiled in frustration at Master Duan Li’s words. She was about to rebuke her when Lin Yuan spoke out again.

“If you keep fighting, I don’t know how I should conduct the next group welfare. How about this? You both take a step back.”

Wang Fuxiang anxiously cried out, “I can’t take a step back when it comes to this.”

Master Duan Li hastily made her stand as well. “I’m not going to back down no matter how high the bid gets. If anyone else wants to take a step back, they can. But I won’t!”

Lin Yuan fell silent. The other people present assumed he was feeling troubled.

However, Lin Yuan was actually heaping praises on Wang Fuxiang and Master Duan Li in his heart.

Lin Yuan glanced at Duan He. He knew that Duan He’s silence indicated that he was not going to participate in the auction anymore.

Lin Yuan was not particularly interested in any of the items that Duan He was bidding.

It was not absolutely necessary for Lin Yuan to own the essence blood of the Suzerain/Myth I Ancient Lake Toad.

Lin Yuan had amassed a considerable amount of Suzerain/Myth II essence blood thanks to his enemies’ contribution as well as the Mother of Bloodbath’s frenzied collection efforts.

Even though Duan He no longer intended to participate in the auction, Lin Yuan followed protocol and asked, “Do you have any issue with the auction continuing?”

Duan He had reflected on his current situation. He felt that he had been rather impulsive previously.

If I really manage to buy the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, what am I supposed to do about the evolution of the feys? Even if I can sell these Cloud Dream Lake pearls, I have no experience doing so. I have no idea if I’ll be able to sell them at the same price as they were auctioned.

Duan He understood why Lin Yuan halted the bidding—the bids had gotten too high.

There were few people who were as crazy and rich as Wang Fuxiang.

Duan He said nonchalantly, “If those two are willing to take a step back, I’ll back out. It’ll save you some trouble.”

Lin Yuan thought, Duan He sure backed out like a gentleman. Since he’s definitely backing out, there’s no point in me focusing any attention on him during this group welfare auction.

Lin Yuan sighed what sounded like a conflicted sigh. He said to Wang Fuxiang and Master Duan Li, “Since both of you want them, I shall sacrifice a bit more. I’ll auction off two sets of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.”

Lin Yuan gestured for Listen to bring another platter.

The people present were startled by Lin Yuan’s actions. It might be the best way to stop the bids from climbing even higher, but they could not see in what way Lin Yuan was making a sacrifice.

How is the group admin making a sacrifice when the bids have reached such a price?

Listen had already carried another platter over.

With one wave of Lin Yuan’s hand, another pile of elemental pearls fell into the platter.

However, there were two elemental pearls in this pile that were obviously different from the Cloud Dream Lake ones.

The inner radiance of these two elemental pearls outshined the rest of the Cloud Dream Lake elemental pearls.

Lin Yuan picked one up and placed it onto the other platter.

The entire platter of Cloud Dream Lake pearls could not rival the inner radiance of this one elemental pearl.
