Chapter 74
Stop fighting!
Upon seeing each other's photos, Lusamine and Cynthia were slightly taken aback, and then confirmed each other's IP addresses.
Wow, it really is you!
Although the two had never actually met offline, they were still aware of each other's existence.
One is the head of the largest company in the region, and the other is the Sinnoh regional champion.
In terms of strength, you can't judge whether Batman, who can't fight, is more powerful, or Iron Man, who can summon robots to fight for him.
But at this moment, there is something more important than each other's strength.
Since the Sinnoh Champion (Chairman of the Aether Foundation) has taken a liking to this item, it means that the item's value is immeasurable.
Therefore, we must get our hands on it!
The war between women has always been a fight to the death.
Wei Xin quietly took out some potato chips and a refreshing soda, and leisurely watched the Golden Cinema 36D blockbuster, Cynthia vs. Rosamund, in front of the screen.
Even if I were to get sat on and killed by an alpaca tomorrow, it would still be worth the price of admission if I could witness these two arguing in my lifetime.
Chairman of the Ether Foundation: Boss, 50,000, I'll take this painting.
Sinnoh Champion Cynthia: I'll double it, 100,000!
Chairman of the Ethereum Foundation: Two hundred thousand!
Sinnoh Champion Cynthia: 300,000!
"Yay! Ten times the reward!" Wei Xin, behind the screen, danced with joy.
His expectation was one million. The limit for a single transfer to a private account is one million or less. The bank will not interfere if the amount exceeds this limit. If it exceeds this limit, the account will be temporarily frozen by the bank. He will need to go to the bank to register and confirm that the income is legal before it can be unfrozen.
But don't stop before that!
Wei Xin was happy, while Lusamine was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.
This is the second time in a week that someone has prevented her from getting what she wants.
That student from Donghuang last time, and you, the Sinnoh champion, are both determined to oppose me, aren't you?
How can I tolerate this?
Chairman of the Ethereum Foundation: 300,001 points!
I'll make you so angry!
Lusamine used Taunt, while Cynthia's ability is Aloofness, making her immune to status moves.
Sinnoh Champion Cynthia: 300,000 and 2 points.
Cynthia used Double Payback, which was extremely effective against Lusamine.
Chairman of the Ether Foundation: 400,000 and 2 cents.
She's getting anxious. She's getting anxious.
Sirona: Four hundred and three hundred thousand.
Why does it sound like little girls arguing? Wei Xin, who was watching, scratched his head with a smile.
Is Rosamina's emotional regulation ability quite poor because her husband is away and she's going through early menopause?
Forget it, let's keep raising the stakes. I want to see bloodshed. Whoever backs down today is a coward.
Lusamine: Five hundred thousand, testing the waters one point at a time, is this the demeanor of a Sinnoh champion?
Cynthia: One million.
Cynthia remained silent, only raising the price. One million was just a full-body treatment for Garchomp.
OK, deal. They offered it themselves, not me.
Wei Xin was about to slam his fist on the table and decide to go to the supermarket tomorrow to buy gifts for Eevee and Ralts when he saw Lusamine, who seemed to have gone berserk, wielding two watermelon knives and killing indiscriminately.
Lusamine: 1.5 million.
Wei Xin: "!!!"
Damn, if we add another league, we'll be missing my watch.
Cynthia: 1,500,001 points.
But Cynthia and Lusamine didn't care; they were so engrossed in the battle that they had forgotten everything else.
Lusamine: Two million.
Upon seeing the price of Lusamine, Wei Xin panicked.
Chairman, calm down. That's just a painting, not the real King of Devouring. Forget the painting, two million? Or I'll just give it to you as a freebie.
Rosamina: Three million! I'll bet whatever you offer today, I'm rolling in money!
How come you raised the price yourself? Did your money grow on trees?
Seeing that Lusamine was already obsessed with raising the price, Wei Xin used his skill, Great Silence.
Sinnoh champion Cynthia has been banned from speaking.
Stop! I said stop! Traditional kung fu only goes as far as it's done.
Cynthia: "???"
Why did you ban me for the price she raised? I'm not stupid, I have money. I was already planning to stop.
Seeing Cynthia sealed away, Lusamine, who had gone mad in the office, finally burst into laughter, the sound even penetrating the office door.
"Oh no, what's wrong with the chairman?" an employee whispered.
"Maybe, perhaps." Another employee gestured, "Maybe the cycle has gone wrong."
"As you know, the chairman has been in great pain ever since her husband went missing, and the young lady and young master have become increasingly estranged from her."
Chairman of the Ether Foundation: Cynthia, say something! Why are you saying something? Don't you want to?
In the office, Lusamine beamed with joy at the victory.
Well done, boss! You've done a great job! You truly are a Donghuang person. A wise man knows when to yield. That's exactly what you're talking about.
Ignoring Lusamine, who was about to go crazy here after cosplaying Hammurabi in the group chat, Wei Xin opened Cynthia's private message.
Ralts, the world's number one: I'm sorry, Miss Cynthia, this trade has exceeded our boss's expectations.
Wei Xin, panting heavily, wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He hadn't expected the two supreme beings to fight so fiercely, almost obliterating him.
The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish, but you're okay, there's a typhoon coming tonight.
Ralts is number one in the world: Our boss asked if Cynthia wanted this painting for archaeological research. If so, we wonder if Cynthia would be willing to use the photograph for research.
Our boss is willing to give you the photos for free as a token of his appreciation.
Sinnoh Champion Cynthia: Could you provide textual analysis and annotations? Also, if similar materials become available in the future, could I borrow them for research? I will offer generous compensation.
Her archaeological research focused on creation myths, and the Taotie scroll wasn't very helpful to her research. She originally just planned to buy it as a collectible, but then Rosamune came along unexpectedly.
In fact, she had already planned to give the painting to Rosamune when the price rose by one million. She continued to raise the price afterward simply to see how much Rosamune would bid.
As for the result, in the room, Cynthia revealed a very cunning smile.
She finally understood why everyone loved going to the circus.
Ralts is number one in the world: Our boss is happy to assist your research.
Although Wei Xin was certain that he and Ralts would become world champions, that was a matter for the future. Right now, he was just an ordinary student, so getting to know a world champion was very valuable.
Who could resist a beautiful, elegant, reliable, and capable older sister?
From now on, if you encounter any problems, just call Didi (a Chinese instant messaging platform).
Cynthia, please use your invincible Garchomp to think of a solution!
Sinnoh Champion Cynthia: xxxxxx138, this is my contact information. But before that, you'd better deal with that crazy woman in the group first. Playing idle games for too long can cause problems.
Ralts is number one in the world: Received!
So, Wei Xin opened Lusamine's private messages.
Ralts, number one in the world: Excuse me, ma'am, I just discussed it with Ms. Cynthia, and she is willing to give up bidding against you. Do you think it is reasonable to set the selling price of this painting at 500,000?
Did Cynthia give up bidding?
Ethereum Foundation Chairman: How did you get her to give up the bidding?
Does it matter? For a control freak, this is very important.
Ralts, number one in the world: I'd say that in terms of financial resources, you absolutely cannot beat the chairman of the Ether Foundation. Leave some room for maneuver, so you can meet again in the future. You might as well give up now and save yourself some face.
Wei Xin answered against his conscience.
The reason why ancient emperors liked treacherous officials and sycophants was because they could hit their sweet spot, even if they knew that what they said was not the truth.
Ethereum Foundation Chairman: You really said that, and then she gave up?
