Raise the number plate

categoryStory: 

Considering the transaction price of the first two flower arrangements, I decide it's time to raise my number plate. Unexpectedly, another person has the same idea as me. According to the rules of the auction, we will now make increasing bids starting from 8 million Coppers, and each bid must be at least an increase of half a million Coppers.
[Auctioneer]Buyer No.12 raised their number plate first, so according to the rules, Buyer No.17 will call their bid.
[player]8.5 million.
[Buyer No.12]I pass.
The other buyer resolutely gives up after I call out the price of 8.5 million Coppers. The auctioneer looks at me and starts calling out the bid routinely after nodding at me.
[Auctioneer]8.5 million Coppers going once.
[Auctioneer]8.5 million Coppers going twice.
[Auctioneer]8.5 million Coppers going three times.
[Auctioneer]The snow tower peony has been sold at the price of 8.5 million Coppers. Congratulations to you, Buyer No.17.
The crisp sound of the mallet announces my success, but before I can share my joy with Noah, I see her frowning and muttering something under her breath.
[Noah](Text message) I guess it's okay.
