He lives on another planet and is majoring in Earth Science.

The sponge ball contracted and expanded, as if it were plotting something.

A moment later, he said to Li Ji, "I remember number 7 is Mr. Pig 2374. He's a jewelry collector. You're in for a lot of trouble."

Li Ji asked, puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

SpongeBall explained, "Mr. Pig2374 is the president of the Mivor Star Jewelry Association, specializing in jewelry research. At least in the entire Mivor Province, no one can rival his jewelry appraisal skills. It is said that even the highest leader has consulted him for gemstone appraisal. If it is him, he can definitely tell the actual value of this gemstone at a glance. His offer will most likely not exceed its actual value. Then you're in trouble. You either won't be able to bid, or if you do, you'll lose money."

Qian Duoduo said, "You can't think like that. Giving gifts represents your feelings and can't be measured by money. If Li Ji's sweetheart knew that he would bid for this gem even at a premium, she would definitely be even happier."

Li Ji thought Qian Duoduo's words made sense, so he pressed the button and raised the price to 26.

Anyway, someone will cover the losses, so let's just bid for fun with a cap of 100 million.

Daisy promptly followed suit, raising the price to 30.

Mr. Pig 2374 looked at the bright purple gem from afar, feeling somewhat hesitant.

According to his initial observations, the gemstone is worth roughly between 25 and 30 yuan. Even with the addition of that poignant love story, it could only be speculated up to 50 to 60 yuan at most.

As a pure jewelry collector, he prefers to return to the intrinsic value of jewelry rather than these marketing gimmicks.

After all, he wanted to add this Nanluo gem to his collection, rather than resell it.

My collection is missing a large, well-preserved Nanluo gemstone.

Therefore, his expected price was only 30; he was not interested in anything more.

Just to be on the safe side, he pulled out a monocular telescope from between the pig's feet and carefully examined the gems on the table.

He used a pig's trotter to rotate the gears on the edge of the telescope, and the lens slowly changed color, gradually turning a deep blue.

Pig No. 2374 frowned.

He could vaguely see that there was a pair of gems embedded inside the gem, the two stones embracing each other, which was absolutely beautiful.

"This is a rare internal double-stone anomaly in Nanluo gemstones. The formation mechanism of Nanluo gemstones is similar to that of amber, often with a layer of crystals covering the outer layer of the stone. However, this gemstone has a rare double-stone anomaly inside. It also brings the original love story to the extreme. Combined with the previous story, if it is hyped up and sold, it is not impossible to sell it for 4 or 5 million. Its pure collection value is as high as 120 million."

He decisively pressed the bid button, and the price reached 40.

As the price increased further, fewer and fewer people were bidding, until only Daisy, Li Ji, and Mr. Pig2374 remained.

Daisy complained, "So annoying, meow. Number 7 and number 16 are always trying to take our place. I don't know how many rounds we'll have to go through to get in and out like this. They're in front of us, and the sofa is blocking their view, so we can't see who they are."

Delulu stood up: "I'm going to warn them not to bid, meow."

Daisy quickly pulled her down: "This is so embarrassing, meow. How about I just raise it really high and scare them? I'll raise it to a hundred million right now, meow."

Dailu quickly grabbed her cousin's hand: "No, my money is money too, meow."

Daisy's pupils dilated in shock. She looked at her familiar cousin as if she were looking at a ghost, and a cold sweat broke out all over her body.

"You've changed, meow. You've been tainted by poverty, you're going to die, meow."

"That's enough, meow. If it's really not going to work, then I won't take any more pictures. I don't necessarily have to give you a gift, meow. It's good to have one less friend; it'll be much quieter, meow."

Delulu leaned toward the seat, feigning composure, and pressed a red button with her elbow out.

The entire venue was immediately illuminated by red warning lights.

"What's going on, meow?"

A beam of light fell on her.

All eyes in the room were on her.

The usually calm and composed spider plant suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Number 26 issued a bidding warning. This is a declaration that she is determined to get this item. She guarantees that anyone who tries to compete with her will suffer a terrible fate!"

"I don't have a cat!"

Dailulu screamed in terror.

Daisy smiled and pulled her down: "You're still as arrogant as ever. You said you didn't want it, but you're actually so cocky, meow."

"I didn't mean that, meow. I pressed it by accident. I rarely come to auctions, when did they add such a weird design, meow?"

"To satisfy everyone's need to show off, I added Meow five years ago. Don't worry, when people see that it was you who took the picture, they will give up on their own. No one dares to go against the Meow Meow Group."

Delulu slumped onto the sofa: "So embarrassing, kill me, meow!"

Li Ji frowned. She hadn't expected Dai Lulu to be so determined, resorting to such a flamboyant method to acquire the gem. It seemed she had someone she desperately wanted to give the gift to.

Could it be me?

Three great illusions in life: phone vibrating, she likes me, I can turn the tables.

The last one is especially serious. I always have this illusion when things are going against me, and then I get slaughtered. If I had thought of a way to escape, I could have, but I was too impulsive.

Wait a minute! What am I thinking?
Her mother asked that question, and then she wanted to bid on this gemstone, so it must be me, right?

But during the school assembly just now, her attitude was strange, as if she had a problem with me.

I can't understand it, and I dare not think about it.

Opening champagne at halftime is the worst thing.

Mr. Qian Duoduo's voice interrupted his thoughts: "Your friend and you have your eye on the same thing, but I hope you don't bother with the same person." "That sentence sounds like it has a story behind it."

"You should know your friend's financial situation very well, so it's best to give up."

"I think so too."

Mr. Pig 2374, number 7 in the front row, sighed regretfully upon learning that it was Dailulu who had pressed the warning button.

"Forget it, forget it, I won't argue with her anymore. Kittens this age will do anything for love, especially a rich kitten like her. I can't afford to mess with her."

The asking price was 50, as proposed by Daisy. The spider plant spun around, making sure there were no new bidders.

"Final inquiry. If no bid is raised, Lot 1 will go to bidder number 27! Final countdown!"

The numbers on the big screen counted down from "10".

Daisy rested her head on Delulu's head, smiling broadly: "Got it, meow. I can't even imagine how happy your jelly friend will be to receive this gift, meow. Don't be nervous, you can breathe, you'll definitely get the shot, meow."

Delulu took a deep breath; her mind had already drifted far away.

If Li Ji received this Li Ji, what would his reaction be? Would he be happy?
She'll still say, "Sorry, I'm going to marry the stranger I met on the street yesterday. Every day after that, I'll find a new partner until we form a family of 2367 people, but you won't be in that family! Because the little white cat is the worst, hahahahaha!"

Delulu clutched her head in anguish.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, meow!"

"I can hear my heart screaming in pain, meow!"

"I'm the one crying in pain! You're hitting my head, meow!"

Delulu suddenly let go, her claws full of her cousin's white fur.

Just then, Spider Plant shouted loudly, "Number 16 has bid 55!"

The spider plant excitedly stirred the fire.

"Didn't Number 16 hear Number 26's warning to the entire audience? Or was he doing it on purpose, wanting a direct confrontation based on financial resources?"

The whole place was in an uproar.

"Someone actually dared to add money after Dailulu from the Miaomiao Group issued a warning to everyone. Who is this person?"

Li Ji felt that the people in the front row were all turning their heads to look at him.

"I didn't press it. What happened?"

A gust of air blew in from the side, coming from the holes in the sponge ball.

"It's me. I helped you with the massage. You're willing to challenge strong opponents for the sake of your loved one, and it doesn't matter if you lose. The person you like will definitely be moved by your spirit. You're welcome."

After saying that, water gushed out of the sponge ball's body, and it made a low sobbing sound.

"Why are you crying?"

"It's so touching, a love story that's both moving and tragic."

"Are you sick!"

Qian Duoduo comforted Li Ji: "It's okay, just don't raise the price again."

Li Ji wasn't worried about the auction itself, but rather about how Dai Lulu would feel if she knew he was the one bidding higher.

"She'll definitely think I'm deliberately going against her, right? Knowing her personality, that's definitely what she'll think, and that'll be a headache. I'll sneak away when it's over, and I absolutely mustn't let her find out! If she asks about it later, I'll say that I left when the principal was arrested and didn't stay until the auction."

Daisy had no choice but to raise the bid to 80.

Spider Plant kept stirring things up: "The price has already reached 80, is anyone else going to bid? Are you still there, number 16? You made such a decisive bid just now, aren't you going to do anything more? The battle has already begun, are you going to end it after just one shot?"

Li Ji found this spider plant really annoying.

When the time was up, Daisy won the Nanluo gemstone for 80.

"Now, please come up on stage to collect this item."

Li Ji's heart tightened; he hadn't expected to have to go on stage again.

Delulu was behind her and couldn't see her. But once Daisy went on stage, she knew that she had just raised the price.

Li Ji wanted to blend into the sofa, but the sofa was red and there was no way to hide inside.

Daisy walked onto the stage, smiling as she held the gemstone for a photo. Her gaze wandered across the stage before landing precisely on Lee Ki.

She first frowned, then revealed a meaningful smile, even pursing her lips as if she were secretly pleased.

Li Ji was dumbfounded: "What kind of expression is that? Is she gloating? Are all cats like this, always eager to see trouble? She'll definitely tell Dailulu soon."

Daisy walked off the stage holding the jewels, her heart filled with joy.

At that moment, she felt as if she had solved the most difficult mystery in the world and touched upon the most interesting gossip.

Even when King Wen of Zhou was studying the Eight Trigrams, he wasn't as happy as she was.

"I get it! I understand everything, meow!" (End of Chapter)
