Chapter 368: Bidding War! Wealthy Tycoons Gather in the Livestream!

"It seems my luck isn't very good. I only caught one crab."

"Fortunately, this crab is relatively large."

While everyone was staring in stunned silence, Ning Fei's voice drifted out leisurely.

At this moment, the viewers were completely dumbfounded.

Looking at the massive silhouette inside the crab trap, they all found it incredibly hard to believe.

What was that? A sea monster?

Could a crab even grow this big?

Judging by the species, it was definitely a king crab, but why was its entire shell golden?

What an imposing king crab!

Compared to a normal king crab, this was simply the difference between a rare blue card and a legendary gold!

My God, what did Ning Guan master catch?

Who was the one just saying that Ning Guan master would go home empty-handed!

The Temple Master is still the Temple Master. He's simply too badass.

The chat exploded.

A flurry of excited discussion broke out.

Inside the crab trap suspended by the steel cable was a dominant king crab covered entirely in gold, as if plated in golden armor.

Each of this king crab's legs was nearly a meter long, and its body was almost the size of a school desk. It looked genuinely terrifying.

It truly resembled a sea monster.

The ocean was inherently full of mysteries. The marine species known to humanity fell far short of the true number dwelling in the deep.

Therefore, anything was possible in the deep sea, let alone for bottom-dwelling creatures like the king crab.

"This is a golden king crab!"

"It's a mutated species of king crab with a golden shell all over. It's incredibly rare."

"With a golden king crab this large, I'm afraid we'll have to add the word 'king' to it again."

"A Golden King Crab King!"

Ning Fei said with a smile after getting a clear look at the crab in the trap.

The viewers were already dizzy from his words.

A Golden King Crab King. Good grief, it was already a king crab, and he had to add another 'king'. How much would this be worth?

I saw news about a golden king crab before. It wasn't very big, but apparently it sold for over 9,000.

This is different! The collection value of this king crab already exceeds its practical value!

With this size, I'm guessing it won't go for less than 100,000.

I bid 150,000. Ning Guan master, I'll buy this king crab.

Anyone can shout out numbers. If that's the case, I bid 200,000.

I bid 500,000.

I bid 1 million. If he's not selling, I can raise it; if he is selling, pretend I didn't say anything.

The chat grew lively as the netizens began tossing out wild bids one after another, joining in on the fun just for the sake of it.

Right at that moment, a dazzling string of donations flashed across the livestream.

'Boss Wang' gifted the streamer 20 super rockets: "Like I said, I bid 150,000. I genuinely want it."

This user with the ID 'Boss Wang' carried the emperor badge of Douniao Live, meaning this was a true big shot who spent 180,000 a month on a VIP membership.

Seeing this scene, the viewers finally realized that the first person to call out a price had been bidding for real.

A single crab for 150,000.

Old Wang, you're too ruthless. A king crab this big brings wealth and fortune to any home, and you're actually only offering 150,000.

At that moment, another user with an emperor badge entered Ning Fei's Live-stream Room. This person's name was 'Tian Zeng Sui Yue'.

Then, an equally continuous stream of donations poured in.

'Tian Zeng Sui Yue' gifted the streamer 20 super rockets: "Streamer, I want this crab. 300,000, and I want it alive."

'Boss Wang': "Old Wu, you're truly shameless. Why are you fighting me for it? I bid 350,000!"

'Tian Zeng Sui Yue': "I bid 400,000!"

These two big shots were clearly locking horns. The rest of the viewers simply watched the spectacle, unsure of what was going on.

These two are both tycoons from over in Macau. I can't reveal anything more specific than that.

A viewer who recognized them left that comment.

Wang Min and Wu Zhen. One ran casinos, while the other owned several docks and hundreds of fishing boats.

These two were genuine heavyweights.

No wonder they were willing to spend so much money to buy this crab.

King crabs were already a symbol of good fortune. Placing a golden king crab of this size at home was an incredibly auspicious omen, so no matter how expensive it sold for, it wouldn't be too much.

Ning Guan master is making another massive profit!

The viewers thought Wang Min and Wu Zhen appearing was already the peak of big shots.

But immediately after, several more emperors flooded into Ning Fei's Live-stream Room.

'President Yan' gifted the streamer 10 super rockets: "I'll join the fun. 700,000 for this crab, I'm buying it."

'Chaoyang Wu Yanzu' gifted the streamer 10 super rockets: "I happen to have an empty spot in my collection room, and this big crab fits perfectly. I bid 800,000."

'Lin Shen' gifted the streamer 10 super rockets: "First time visiting this livestream. If the crab is real, I bid 1 million."

In every livestream, whenever an emperor entered, a banner would flash across the screen to tell the streamer and the viewers exactly who had arrived.

After all, they spent 180,000 a month on a VIP membership just to enjoy the feeling of being a big shot.

At such times, streamers would typically say things immediately like, "Thank you for visiting, Brother Wang. Welcome, Brother Wang."

Naturally, Ning Fei wouldn't act like that.

The viewers watched the dazzling, colorful banners constantly flashing across the screen as more and more wealthy tycoons entered Ning Fei's Live-stream Room.

Good grief, I counted. That's 27 emperors now.

A single big crab lured out so many big shots.

There really are a lot of rich people in Huaxia. They have way too much free time.

You'll understand once you're rich. Everyone pursues different things.

The largest crab in the world, and a mutated golden king crab at that. Its collection value is probably far more precious than ivory or jewels.

The bidding in the livestream climbed higher and higher.

At this moment, Ning Fei wasn't looking at his mobile phone, so he had no idea what was happening.

He operated the crane, lowering the crab trap onto the deck of the boat.

Looking at the scene, Liu Ming let out a gasp of amazement.

"Ning Guan master, you truly are an incredible man."

"In hundreds of years, no one in Houhai Village has ever caught a crab this large."

"I've been going out to sea to fish for over twenty years, and this is the first time I've ever seen a crab this big too."

Hearing his words, Ning Fei replied with a smile, "Just bumped into it through sheer luck."

Of course, he wasn't going to tell Liu Ming that he had the Treasure Seeking Technique skill.

King crabs lacked crab roe; the truly delicious part was the meat inside their legs.

The white crab meat was exceptionally savory and sweet. It had a smooth, delicious texture, and when paired with a little dipping sauce, it was simply the most perfect ingredient.

The king crab remained quite restless inside the trap.

Its long legs were covered in barbs, and it looked as though it was still trying to struggle its way out.

Watching its fierce display through the livestream sent a wave of fear through the viewers.

Because this crab was almost larger than a human!

Those few crab legs looked as if they could easily pierce right through a human body.

Only then did Ning Fei find a moment to glance at his mobile phone.

He found the screen flashing with a dazzling array of colors, discovering that a crowd of big shots had rushed into his livestream to bid.

The highest bid had already reached 1.2 million. These tycoons seemed to care about more than just the crab; they cared far more about face, so they called out exorbitant prices.

Truth be told, people who could spend 180,000 a month on an emperor rank in a streaming app were doing it entirely for the sake of face.

This type of person held their prestige in incredibly high regard.

Therefore, no matter how high the bidding went, it wasn't surprising.

Seeing their chat messages, a trace of shock flashed across Ning Fei's face. Then, he offered a helpless smile.

"Everyone, I think you've misunderstood something."

"I never said I was going to sell this crab."

"I told you before, I joined the fleet out at sea simply because I wanted to eat king crab, hoping to catch some for myself."

"So, I'm keeping this king crab to eat myself."

Ning Fei's words left the fiercely bidding tycoons completely stunned.

Not just the tycoons—the millions of viewers watching the spectacle in the livestream were also left dumbfounded.
