Getting $10 Trillion Out Of Nowhere-Chapter 789 - : Thousand-Year-Old Wild Ginseng

Chapter 789: Thousand-Year-Old Wild Ginseng

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

No one would have thought that the price of such an inconspicuous medicinal herb would increase by six times, becoming 30 million!

One had to know that 30 million was enough to buy any supreme-grade medicinal herb. If it were an ordinary person, this amount of money would be enough to let them live a carefree life.

As for Ruby, after she called out the price, she even looked at Connor with a provocative expression.

She was very confident in her price. She felt that Connor would not bid any higher to compete with her.

The middle-aged man beside Ruby turned his head and glanced at Ruby before speaking in a soft voice, “Miss, we’ve spent almost all the money we have on hand when we came out to purchase medicinal herbs this time. If the other party continues to raise the price, we’ll give up!”

“Alright, I got it!”

Ruby nodded lightly.

The Yandell family was indeed very rich, it wasn’t like the family belonged to Ruby alone.

Ruby had prepared nearly two billion dollars for this trip to the Medicine Kings’ Valley, and she had already spent most of it during this period of time.

She only had less than 100 million left, which was why the middle-aged man reminded her.

Connor looked at Ruby and said expressionlessly, “31 million!”

“You…”

Just when Ruby thought that Connor wouldn’t dare to continue bidding, Connor’s voice rang out once more.

Ruby looked at Connor’s position with a hint of anger in her eyes. After hesitating for two seconds, she shouted, “35 million!”

Obviously, Ruby was angry with Connor. She felt that Connor was provoking her.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man looked at Ruby with a helpless expression.

“What is this Ruby trying to do? Why are you still raising the price at this time?”

Diana’s eyes flashed with a strange look, speechless.

“She’s angry with me!” Connor replied indifferently, then raised his hand and shouted, “50 million!”

When they heard the figure of 50 million, the crowd went into an uproar.

Even the host of this auction did not expect this medicinal herb to be auctioned for such a price.

At this moment, Connor gave these people the feeling that he was deliberately causing trouble. He actually increased the bid by 15 million in one go!

Ruby’s lips were trembling from Connor’s anger, but she had no intention of giving up. She opened her mouth and prepared to bid.

However, the middle-aged man beside Ruby hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her. After that, he lightly shook his head at Ruby.

Ruby looked at the middle-aged man with a helpless expression. After hesitating for a moment, she didn’t continue bidding.

“…”

Seeing that Ruby didn’t continue to raise the bid, the host shouted, “50 million going once!”

“Going twice!”

“Going thrice!”

In the end, this medicinal herb was auctioned off by Connor for the price of 50 million.

“Does this bastard really have that much money?”

Ruby looked at Connor’s seat and frowned, muttering in displeasure.

On the other side, the host took the initiative to come in front of Connor and reminded him to pay the money.

After all, it was Connor’s first time bidding at an auction, so he did not record his own information at all. If Connor were to bid for this medicinal herb and run away immediately, that would be troublesome, so he followed along with the host and brought Diana and Carlos along.

Connor naturally did not participate in the following auction. After all, the next auction items should not have medicinal herbs that Connor was interested in.

Connor, Diana and Carlos followed the staff to the backstage of the auction and paid the money. When Diana received the herb, she carefully studied it in front of her, and a trace of excitement flashed across her eyes. She then whispered to Connor, “Mr. McDonald, this herb is indeed a thousand-year-old wild ginseng!”

“Is this what a thousand-year-old wild ginseng looks like?”

Connor asked in confusion.

“Mr. McDonald, don’t be fooled by its appearance…” Diana waved her hand and continued, “The real thousand-year-old wild ginseng should be in the middle of this piece of charcoal. If you agree, I can open it up for you to take a look now…”

“Then open it!” Connor nodded lightly. After all, this piece of charcoal did not have much value in Connor’s eyes.

After seeing that Connor had agreed, Diana took out some tools from her bag and began to knock on the charcoal-like surface of the medicinal herbs.

After about ten minutes, Diana finally cracked open the charcoal outside. A pale yellow wild ginseng appeared before Connor.

Connor stared at Diana with an expression of shock.

He never thought that Diana would be so powerful that she could see through the charcoal.

In fact, Connor didn’t have much hope. After all, even if Diana made a mistake, Connor wouldn’t blame her.

“How is it, Mr. McDonald? I didn’t lie to you, right?” Diana asked Connor with a smile.

“You’re really too amazing. You can even tell that this is the real deal…” Connor said in surprise.

“Of course. If it weren’t for that woman’s trouble, we could have bought this thousand-year-old wild ginseng for five million dollars. At that time, we would have made a huge profit. However, it’s a pity that we bought it for fifty million dollars in the end. It’s a bit of a loss…”

Diana felt angry whenever she thought of Ruby.

“It doesn’t matter as long as it’s a thousand year old wild ginseng!” Connor smiled faintly, then looked at Diana from head to toe and asked softly, “Diana, you seem to know a lot about herbs, huh?” freewēbnoveℓ.com

“That’s right. My grandfather is an alchemist. I’ve been living with my grandfather since I was young. The most important thing in alchemy is medicinal herbs, so it’s normal for me to understand their properties. Back then, I used to help my grandfather gather medicinal herbs…” Diana explained.

“Alchemist?”

Connor couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard Diana’s words. His expression was somewhat puzzled.

“That’s right, he’s an alchemist!”

Diana nodded.

“What a strange profession. I think I’ve only ever seen it in fantasy novels…”

Connor looked at Diana and smiled.

“Actually, there’s nothing strange about it. A few hundred years ago, alchemists were still very common. After all, technology was not developed at that time, and there were not so many pharmaceutical companies. If people wanted to see a doctor, they needed to eat pills…”

Diana smiled. “Moreover, medicinal pills can not only cure illnesses and heal injuries, but also strengthen the body. There are some more powerful medicinal pills that can also be used to increase the realm of martial artists. Nowadays, ordinary people will not eat medicinal pills at all, so naturally, they do not need alchemists. However, for martial artists, medicinal pills are still very precious. Only alchemists can maximize the use of these medicinal herbs!”
