Winner of the Auction

"400,000 spirit stones!"

"410,000 spirit stones!"

"420,000 spirit stones!"

Even though the auction is already at 400,000 spirit stones, which is worth 4 billion gold, the atmosphere there did not quiet down and remained as tense as ever. In fact, it was only getting more tense.

"450,000 spirit stones!"

"470,000 spirit stones!"

"500,000 spirit stones!"

When the spirit stones reached 500,000 spirit stones, someone there suddenly increased the bid significantly.

"One million spirit stones!"

Many bidders there turned to look at the person who just spoke with raised eyebrows.

While nobody there doubted for a second that the bid wouldn't reach that price point, they didn't want such an exciting auction to end so early. After all, they could simply bid their maximum budget at one go and call it a day.

However, that would be boring, and such actions are frowned upon in auctions, sort of like an unspoken rule.
