322 Meteorite Reappears
In the private room, Elder Zhou looked at the stone on the tray and frowned tightly. At the thought of the relations.h.i.+p between the Ghost Market and Old Master Cui and his embarra.s.sment just now, he immediately scolded angrily, “What’s going on with your auction today? This has happened again and again!”
The ghost market today was indeed full of twists and turns, but the manager did not have any panic on his face. Instead, he looked calm and explained with a smile in Elder Zhou’s direction, “This is not an ordinary stone. Does everyone still remember the meteorite landing more than ten years ago?”
As the manager spoke, someone had already taken out their phone to investigate this matter online. There was indeed something like that that happened more than ten years ago, but it had been too long ago and no one paid attention.
When Gu Man heard the manager speak, her pupils constricted. The meteorite landing that the manager was talking about was the matter she had investigated previously.
She suspected that the old man had sold the meteorite to the auction. He did not believe her and wanted to spend more money to treat Guo Guo.
However, the unfamiliar aura on the stone was different from the meteorite the old man had given her. What had happened more than ten years ago? Why were so many meteorites wandering outside?
Shouldn’t the country keep such matters strictly confidential and retrieve all the missing fragments?
However, the repeated appearance of meteorites puzzled Gu Man.
She frowned slightly. Xiang Yin sensed the change in her emotions and could not help but ask, “Is there something wrong with this stone?”
Gu Man shook her head. She did not know how to answer Xiang Yin’s question.
“What does this have to do with a meteorite landing decades ago? You’re not going to say that this rock is that meteorite, are you?”
“It’s not, but it’s a fragment from a meteorite.”
The manager’s words clearly exceeded everyone’s expectations. Everyone looked at the stone in disbelief, because the stone itself did not seem like a fragment. In fact, its edges were very smooth.
“This rock is just a layer of the meteorite.”
The manager looked at everyone’s puzzled expressions and explained with a smile. Only then did everyone come to a realization, but they were not very excited.
This was because the meteorite was not as collectible as calligraphy and jadeite. Other than people with special interests, basically no one was interested in the meteorite.
However, there were a few companies related to scientific research that were tempted. After all, the substances carried on the meteorite were very likely to be of great help to their development.
However, after the manager introduced the meteorite, very few people on the second floor were restless. He was also a little nervous.
In fact, he hesitated for a long time deciding whether to put the meteorite in the front or in the back. However, this kind of thing was really too rare. After thinking about it, he decided to put it at the back. He just did not expect that the effect was not too surprising.
He was very optimistic about the meteorite, so the price he expected was relatively high. If it did not reach the price he expected…
The manager did not dare to think too much about it. He only prayed two or three times in his heart before announcing the price of the meteorite.
“The bid starts at 20 million!”
The price was neither high nor low, but as he said the price, no one moved. Even the auction hall fell into a rare silence.
“Who’s interested in this lousy stone? It won’t look good even as a decoration at home.”
As the venue was relatively quiet, the manager heard the discussion. A few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead as he spoke again to promote the stone in his hand.
This was an unprecedented plot of the auction. No one expected that the auction item would be so lowly that it needed to be promoted.
“The previous owner of this meteorite indicated that carrying it around can strengthen one’s body. After all, it’s an external object. It’s normal for it to have strange functions.”
The manager’s words which sounded like a fantasy novel did not arouse everyone’s confidence. Instead, they felt that he was lying because most health supplements would use this as an excuse, but they were actually all lies.
Only Gu Man knew that he was definitely not lying, because this meteorite did have this effect.
Carrying something with abundant spiritual energy around could indeed improve one’s vitality and even bring about a certain amount of wealth.
