61: Mr. Yang was also stunned. Netizens commented: "This guy must have saved the world in his past life!"

“The chenghua chicken cup, bidder number 12 calls out two hundred and eighty-one million six hundred and ninety thousand. First call, second call, third call, sold!”

As the Host's small hammer fell, it startled Reba out of her daze.

“How much? How much? Over two hundred and eighty million! My heavens, that's over a hundred million more than the starting price!”

Reba felt like her little heart couldn't take it; it was simply too exciting!

It just looks like an ordinary little cup, so why is it worth so much money?

Reba felt she truly couldn't figure it out, but fortunately, she remembered she needed to report this to Boss Yang, so she took out her phone and made the call.

Soon, Boss Yang on the other end picked up.

“Hello, Reba, Xu Lu should be at the set today, right... What? He didn't go again?”

It was clear that Boss Yang, having heard the news, was a little angry, and she said:

“That guy didn't go treasure hunting on Antique Street again, did he? I already said nobody has good luck every day...”

Reba was smarter this time and quickly interrupted:

“Um... Sister Mi, I have something I need to tell you about—it concerns another little cup!”

“A little cup? What little cup?”

Boss Yang didn't immediately grasp the situation.

Fortunately, Reba quickly explained:

“Sister Mi, Xu Lu bought two antiques yesterday, but he only sold one. He kept a little cup.”

“Oh, I see. What's the problem with the little cup? Did the one he keep turn out to be fake?”

Boss Yang asked immediately.

For some reason, Reba felt that Boss Yang on the other end sounded a little gleeful right now.

“Sister Mi, whether that little cup is fake or not, well, I'm not actually sure.

But Xu Lu told me this morning that Sothebys Auction House was auctioning off one of the exact same style as his little cup today, so I paid a little attention to it!”

Boss Yang finally got the point and asked:

“So what price did that little cup at Sothebys Auction House sell for? Is it worth a lot?”

“It's extremely valuable, Sister Mi. I can barely believe it myself!”

Reba actually kept her in suspense.

Boss Yang's curiosity on the other end was piqued. She guessed a price and said:

“That little bottle sold for four million yesterday. Could that little cup be worth tens of millions?”

“Sister Mi, it's far more than tens of millions. That little cup at Sothebys Auction House had a final auction price of two hundred and eighty million!”

Reba took a deep breath and slowly reported the number. Then, Boss Yang on the other end fell silent.

Two hundred and eighty million!

Boss Yang immediately took a deep breath, feeling momentarily unreal.

Although her net worth totaled more than two hundred million, most of it was company stock, and asking her to produce two hundred million in cash immediately might not be possible.

But according to the news Reba just reported, Xu Lu just bought a little cup on Antique Street, and it was worth nearly three hundred million.

When Boss Yang heard yesterday that the guy had sold a bottle worth over four million, she already felt that such a thing probably only happens to someone with incredible luck.

Who knew that just one day later, she would hear even more shocking news... “Hello, Sister Mi, are you still listening? Sister Mi!”

Reba's voice coming from the phone finally brought Boss Yang back to her senses.

She quickly composed herself and said:

“I'm still listening, keep going!”

Reba paused for a moment, then said:

“Uh, Sister Mi, I don't have anything else to say? I finished saying everything I needed to. Do you have anything else to say?”

“I don't have anything else to say either!”

Boss Yang also said this.

The two women then fell into an awkward silence, presumably both reeling from the shock of the news about Xu Lu.

Meanwhile.

The news that a Chenghua Doucai jigang cup sold for 280 million at Sothebys Auction House quickly topped the trending topics list.

“My God, it's just a tiny cup, yet it sold for a staggering price of nearly three hundred million!”

“Fake! It must be fake! Or maybe they're just laundering money. No cup is worth that astronomical price, impossible!”

“I'm so jealous! If I had a cup like that in my house, my family would be set for three generations!”

“I wonder what it feels like to drink alcohol out of a little cup like that. I can't even imagine the world of the rich.”

...“Nearly three hundred million—you could buy almost a ton of gold with that! Heavens, you don't realize how terrifying that is until you do the math!”

“Antiques really aren't something ordinary people can mess with. Three hundred million for a tiny cup—if it broke, you'd probably die of heartache...”

“Huh, this cup looks really familiar. Didn't a certain Streamer buy one just yesterday from a street stall?”

...Checking the trending topics every day has become a daily habit for many people, and among these people were naturally fans of Xu Lu's live stream.

They were then surprised to discover that the small cup sold for the astronomical price of 280 million at Sothebys Auction House looked almost identical to the one Xu Lu bought.

At this, many fans couldn't sit still.

They rushed to Xu Lu's live stream room. Although he wasn't streaming at the moment, it didn't stop everyone from discussing it in the comment section:

[Shock! Did you see today's trending topics? Why does that little cup from the auction look just like the one the Streamer bought?]

[Exactly! I was just about to mention it. That thing is called the Chenghua Doucai jigang cup, right? Two hundred and eighty million!

I wonder if the one the Streamer bought yesterday on Antique Street is the same model. If it is, gasp...]

[What trending topic? The Streamer is trending again? A cup worth three hundred million? Holy crap! Is this real or fake?]

[Why isn't that kid Streamer going live yet? He just knows how to keep people in suspense, damn it...]

[...Do you think the one the Streamer has could also sell for hundreds of millions? That would be truly terrifying. He only spent thirty thousand yuan to buy it, right?]

[That's right, just thirty thousand yuan. If it really is that kind of jigang cup, he instantly made nearly ten thousand times his investment!]

[No wonder he wouldn't even let that guy called Expert Li look at it yesterday, saying the other person couldn't afford it anyway.

Now it seems, if it really is a cup worth three hundred million, Expert Li, with a net worth of tens of millions, truly couldn't afford it!]

[Streamer, please show yourself! Quickly tell us the details about your cup, our hearts are scratching like cats!]

...Unfortunately, no matter how much the fans 'called out' in the live stream room, Xu Lu, who was busy dealing with important matters, showed no sign of going online.

So, these restless fans took some effort to find the replay of Xu Lu's live stream from yesterday.

They then clipped the video segment where he purchased the jigang cup and posted it directly online:

'A small cup recently bought by a famous Streamer from a street stall for thirty thousand yuan is suspected to be the same model as the astronomical jigang cup!'

Some people even forwarded the link to this video underneath the trending topic concerning the jigang cup.

In a short time, Xu Lu's video quickly went viral across the entire network and also surged onto the trending topics list.
