Chapter 2639 — Is There Something Wrong with Your Head? Lai the Fatso frowned, but pressed on: "Ten million!"

But to say this auction item had value was nonsense too. What value could an ordinary thing have? Baffling—everyone was utterly baffled!
Even Wei Zhao was puzzled. Was there something wrong with Zhao Qibing?
Yet no matter how bizarre things got, the auction had to go on, and the auctions that followed were much more normal. There were no more outrageous situations like before. Even Lai the Fatso casually bid on an inconspicuous item for five million, and did not quote a high price of twenty million.
"The next auction item is a tablet computer containing a set of study notes, provided by Han Jingyi, a student in the Biology Department's pharmaceutical program. These are the notes she has taken from her daily study of pharmacology. The starting bid for these notes is five million. Anyone who wants them had better not miss out! Once this chance is gone, it is gone for good!" Shen Yushu picked up the newest auction item and said.
The moment Shen Yushu finished speaking, the whole hall erupted. Five million? For a set of study notes? Was the bizarre situation repeating itself? What on earth could be worth five million? Even if it was loaded on a tablet computer, it could not be that expensive!
This was, by far, the item with the highest starting bid since the auction began!
Even the item that had previously sold for the high price of twenty-two million had started at a very low bid. How had a set of study notes suddenly appeared with a starting bid of five million?
Tai Weiliang and Zhen Huanzi were getting a little anxious too! On the auction item list, this thing was clearly estimated at a starting bid of five hundred yuan—how had it suddenly become five million? Had Shen Yushu misspoken?
Thinking this, Tai Weiliang and Zhen Huanzi hastily shot Shen Yushu looks, but Shen Yushu ignored them, staring straight ahead at the audience seats.
Five million? Study notes? A tablet computer? The moment You Panhu heard Shen Yushu's introduction, he could not sit still! Had it been any other study notes, he would not have cared, but these were Han Jingyi's study notes—and the starting bid was shockingly high!
Could it be... that this was Wei Zhao's doing on purpose? Earlier, You Panhu had told Wei Zhao that he wanted to trade for Han Jingyi's notes on alchemy, and Wei Zhao had refused on the grounds that You Panhu had nothing to trade. Now Wei Zhao was putting them up for auction—did that not mean Wei Zhao wanted money?
Yes, that was it. Wei Zhao had seemed to say before that he was short of money, and had even told You Panhu to go donate ten or eight million. Could these notes on alchemy be exactly that?
Thinking about how this auction was led by Wei Zhao, with donations going to that Songshan City Orphanage, You Panhu was now almost certain: these notes had been prepared by Wei Zhao for him, so that he would spend money to buy them!
And thinking again of Shen Yushu's earlier hint, it had to be so! So You Panhu hastily raised the auction paddle in his hand and called out: "Five million and ten thousand!"
"Whoa—"
The whole hall erupted again! Someone actually wanted to buy it? What was going on now? There had already been one bizarre incident earlier, and now this... When everyone's eyes fell on You Panhu, they suddenly realized—he was sitting together with Zhao Qibing!
So they were in cahoots? Was there something wrong with these two?
