My bid of 500,000 was seen by the people in the live stream, and the barrage of comments increased dramatically.

Perhaps they couldn't believe that someone would dare to spend 500,000 online to buy a ring of unknown value.

And they didn't think I was a shill because if your account balance in the live stream auction is lower than the auction price, you cannot participate in the bidding.

Moreover, after a successful bid, the platform will take a portion as commission.

So generally, for larger auction items, they wouldn't find a shill.

After all, if it's one of their own people who starts the bidding and no one follows, they would lose some money in commission to the platform.

The host, upon seeing someone bidding, immediately exclaimed:

"Anyone else bidding? I'll set the auction end time to twenty seconds. If no one adds to the bid, this ring will belong to the current bidder."

I guess the host was also afraid that I might change my mind at the last moment, as this platform has a personalized feature.

After placing a bid, there's a thirty-second period for you to regret your decision.

If you retract within those thirty seconds, the transaction can be canceled.

The barrage of comments in the live stream has been counting down all along.

Even the auctioneer got nervous, fearing that I might cancel the order at the last moment.

Then, in the last five seconds, just when I thought I had it secured, the auction price became 800,000.

Someone added 300,000!

My heart trembled as so many people added at once.

It seems this auction is getting a bit mysterious.

I immediately raised the bid to one million, but unexpectedly, that person immediately raised it to 1.5 million.

This auction shocked everyone in the live stream. The barrage of comments flooded in continuously.

The number of viewers in the live stream also exceeded 100,000, after all, it's rare for an item to be auctioned for over a million.

And both the additional prices from me and the competitor were substantial.

Seeing it reach 1.5 million, the rapid increase in bidding made my heart race.

It seems this person has no shortage of money, but my account balance is only 3 million.

Actually, I initially asked my parents for 2 million.

I thought the starting price was 500,000, so 2 million should have been enough.

But my mom transferred 3 million to me, saying it's better to have a bit more money as a backup, to be on the safe side.

I thought 3 million would definitely be enough.

Now it seems that 3 million might not be enough to win the bid.
