At the same time, Jasmine announced grandly, "The next item coming up for auction will be the third quarter pill of the Rejuvenating Pill! There's not much chance to win the bidding for the Rejuvenating Pill anymore. Everyone, please seize the opportunity. Don't leave with any regret!"

Jasmine's words lifted everyone's spirit once more.

When Todd took the second Rejuvenating Pill, he showed the crowd the miracles one can gain from consuming the Rejuvenating Pill.

Many had witnessed the endless possibilities. The crowd began rubbing their palms in anticipation, all of them deciding to fight for the third Rejuvenating

Pill at all costs.

Once again, the staff presented a Rejuvenating Pill on a silver plate on stage.

Jasmine explained with a smile, "The starting price for the third quarter pill remains unchanged. The bid for the Rejuvenating Pill will start at one hundred million US dollars. Each new bid needs to be one hundred million higher than the previous one. It seems like everyone here is ready for the auction, so I won't waste any more time. Here, I announce that the bidding starts now. You may start bidding!"

As soon as she finished her sentence, someone in the crowd immediately shouted, "Five billion!"

Someone else hollered right after him," Why are you still offering five billion at this point? I offer ten billion!"

Everyone knew the third quarter pill wouldn't be sold at a price lower than ten billion US dollars. It wasn't surprising for the price to quickly rise to ten billion within two offers.

The third quarter pill started bidding for one billion US dollars, but quickly rose to ten billion within less than ten seconds.

The one who placed a bid of ten billion US dollars was Todd's last competitor from the previous round. He wanted to be the lucky one at the third auction.

At first, he thought he could easily win the bid with nine billion US dollars. Unexpectedly, many were greatly impressed by the pill's effect after witnessing Todd's drastic change. Those who withdrew from the bid earlier returned to bid with greater ferocity.

Right after the offer of ten billion US dollars was given, someone else quickly added a hundred million US dollars to his bid.

Afterwards, the price continued to soar.

Many bidders kept bidding, and eventually drove the price up to twelve billion US dollars.

The last competitor from the

previous round regretted

withdrawing from the bidding earlier, but regret was of no use to him at this moment. There might be more competition for the fourth quarter pilt, so he should go all out for the third quarter pill.

He made up his mind and gritted his teeth hard. Then, he raised his voice and said in a tremor, "I offer thirteen billion US dollars!"

Someone else immediately followed up with the next bid, saying, "Thirteen billion and five hundred million US dollars!'

Many were surprised to see that the competition continued even at such an outrageous price. The bidders were unwilling to give up, and for that reason, the price just kept going up.

Fourteen billion US dollars, fifteen billion US dollars, sixteen billion US dollars...

The price kept rising by the billions without stopping. At last, it broke through the eighteen billion seven hundred million mark.

Upon the sharp rise of prices, many were left behind and couldn't keep up anymore.

They wanted the pill as well, but the price had become so high that it went way beyond their affordability.

Even if they were willing to pay such

a high price for the pill, they didn't

have the liquidity to withdraw ten

billion to twenty billion US dollaret

within such a short time. They couldn't pay the same night they bought the pill.

They would need to sell off part of their assets, shares, or mortgage to gather the required funds.

As a result, many people gave up, faces full of tears. They regretted not bidding their best in the first and second bidding for the quarter pills The first pill was sold for two billion US dollars, and the second was sold for ten billion US dollars. They missed their only chance to win the bid for the Rejuvenating Pill, so they could do nothing but watch sadly as their opportunity slipped away.
