Global recovery: A century of being stuck in the game

Without hesitation, she walked straight in.

Jubaoyuan is very ordinary, and the building is not built with very good materials. There is a one-story hall in the front for reception, and a three-story auction hall in the back.

The hall on the first floor of the auction house can accommodate nearly 10,000 people, and the admission ticket to the auction only costs ten low-grade spirit stones.

There were quite a few people in the reception hall, some of whom were wearing uniform red and white clothes. There were both men and women. The men had a silver token with the word "Bao" engraved in the middle hanging around their waists, and the women all wore a silver hairpin shaped like a Yuanbao in their hair.

These are all hospitality from Jubaoyuan. At a glance, there are dozens of them.

There are many tables and chairs in the hall, but they are not used for dining. Instead, they are for guests to rest and talk business.

In addition, there are several separate rooms on the left and right sides. If someone wants to deposit valuable items at Jubaoyuan for auction, they will be taken to the room for discussion.

Apart from these guests, the others either came to participate in the auction or had items to auction.

Taoyao's arrival did not attract anyone's attention, because everyone was busy and no one cared whether there was one more person coming.

A few people went directly to the backyard. They were guests participating in the auction, and someone would collect an entrance fee before entering the auction hall.

Jubaoyuan holds auctions almost every day, but there are also basic requirements for the auction items.

The requirements vary depending on the distribution of monks in different places.

There are also corresponding ways to deal with items that cannot be auctioned.

Jubaoyuan will purchase items that no one is bidding on at market price, and then take 1% of the proceeds as a reward for helping with the auction.

For items auctioned off, a five percent commission will be charged.

Of course, the most important thing is that although Jubaoyuan looks ordinary, it is actually very powerful and wealthy, and no one dares to cause trouble.

The five percentage points below market remuneration and absolute safety have attracted many customers.

If Jubaoyuan didn't have too few branches, other businesses would probably have no chance of survival.

Of course, this was also what Taoyao intended.

She came here to do business, not to incur public outrage.

While you are eating meat, you can’t let others not even have the soup, otherwise the business will not be able to be done, right?

However, she never imagined that one day she would be one of the many customers coming to Jubaoyuan to auction items.

After waiting in line quietly for about half an hour, it was finally her turn.

A waiter with a handsome face and a smile came over and sat down next to her: "Hello, guest, what items do you want to auction?"

There was a nameplate hanging in front of her with her name engraved on it - Liu Yun.

Tao Yao took out the martial arts he had practiced and gently placed it on the table without saying anything.

When Liu Yun saw the words "Red Flame Sword Art" on the cover of the secret book, the smile on her face remained the same, without any change. She stood up and extended her hand to invite him, "Please follow me, sir."

The receptionists at Jubaoyuan are all professionally trained and have been here for many years, so they have naturally seen a lot of treasures. Therefore, although the skills are somewhat precious in Yumengyu, they are not enough to make her lose her composure.

Just like that, the other guests watched Tao Yao enter the private room under the guidance of Liu Yun, with envy on their faces.

This girl is auctioning off a good item, right?

It seems that Jubaoyuan is going to experience another grand battle.

In addition to tea, there were also some fruits in the private room. Liu Yun looked at Tao Yao and said, "I wonder what kind of skill this guest is..."

Tao Yao: "A mid-level Xuan-level technique."

A mid-level Xuan-level cultivator can be cultivated to the Golden Core realm. For many cultivators in the Yumeng Realm, this can be said to be an opportunity to ascend to heaven in one step!

You know, martial arts is the foundation. As long as you have it, you can revitalize an entire family.

Moreover, the preciousness of the technique is far beyond imagination.

You should know that the realm of the leader of the largest sect in Yumeng Realm is only at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

Liu Yun was a little surprised, so she continued to ask according to the rules: "Does the customer have any urgent matters? Do you need to speed up the auction?"

Taoyao: “No need.”

Liu Yun nodded and said, "Sir, your skills are very precious. In my opinion, we can postpone the auction for a few days. During these days, we will be responsible for spreading the news and try to get the highest price for the skills. What do you think?"

"can."

"Then let's sign the contract." Liu Yun took out a contract with a smile, and then wrote something on it with the pen and ink that had been prepared on the table.

The contracts were prepared early in the morning. All they had to do when signing the contract was to add in the items being traded and then have the two people sign their names.

The signing of this contract is also a major feature of Jubaoyuan.

The contract was drafted by Taoyao. Considering that people in this world don't understand so much, there aren't so many twists and turns.

It was written in black and white that the customer had entrusted Jubaoyuan to auction a certain item, and after the sale, Jubaoyuan would take 5% as a reward.

After signing, Tao Yao left with a contract.

The auction was scheduled for three days later. Tao Yao planned to come back to get the spirit stones after the auction and went back to Zuixing Tower for seclusion.

I was practicing but I didn’t realize how much time passed. Before I knew it, more than ten days had passed.

When she appeared outside the gate of Jubaoyuan, there were many people scattered on both sides of the street.

Those people were looking around furtively, and it was obvious at a glance that their intentions were not pure.

This time, as soon as she walked in, Liu Yun saw her and quickly walked over after she had settled the business with the customer at hand: "Miss Tao, you are here."

The name of Taoyao Lottery is Peach.

ld means a peach, but this obviously doesn’t sound like a serious name, so she chose the last two characters.

Tao Yao nodded slightly and said, "Some things delayed me."

Liu Yun led Tao Yao to the private room and placed a storage ring on the table: "You sold your skills for 88 million spirit stones this time. Here are 83.6 million. The deal is done. I look forward to our next cooperation."

Tao Yao took the storage ring, knowing that it was a gift: "Okay."

Liu Yun: "Oh, by the way, there are many thugs in the store looking for you recently, Miss Tao, please be careful."

"Thank you for reminding."

She asked why there were so many lookouts, and it seemed they were waiting for her.

After leaving Jubaoyuan, she was not in a hurry and did not attract the attention of those people.

After returning to Zuixinglou, she logged off decisively.

Calculating the time, if everything went well for those people joining the Aries community, they should be out by now.

The villa was still empty, but the TV was on. When Tao Yao went downstairs, she saw the adorable ghost lying on the sofa, watching the palace fighting drama with great interest, with his ears perked up.

It was becoming more and more cute. Perhaps it was too focused on watching and didn't notice Taoyao's arrival for a moment.

It wasn't until the sofa beside it collapsed that it came to its senses and jumped off the sofa with a "whoosh". The hair on its body exploded and the whole monster was in extreme panic and fear.

Tao Yao glanced at it, leaned back, and said casually: "Bring me my computer."

The computer was on the table. The cute little one obeyed Tao Yao's instructions, holding the computer in his mouth and walking to Tao Yao, then gently touched her trouser leg with his head, full of flattery.

Tao Yao entered the forum to check the news and asked, "Have you been watching TV recently?"

Keaigui shook his head reflexively, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded belatedly.

Then he realized that Taoyao wasn't looking at it, so he spoke: "Yes... yes..."

"Did anything happen?" Tao Yao asked again.

Lovely Ghost probably realized that the other party didn't mean to blame it for watching TV, so he relaxed and sat on the ground: "I have watched the news. Recently, many places have been haunted, and there are many unknown creatures. There are also cases of plants growing wildly. However, because it was handled properly, not many people died."

Tao Yao found several private messages with information about tickets to Fuyang City in the background. She was in a good mood and nodded slightly.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the cute little ghost scratched his head with his front paws and racked his brains to think.

Angry?

Does it not say anything useful?

"Um... I felt a strange aura suddenly coming out of the neighborhood, but because of your order, I didn't go out to investigate. Do you think someone might have been in trouble?"

Tao Yao then gave it a look: "Didn't you go and take a look?"

Lovely Gui immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No, no! I won't go out without the master's order."

One, two, three... eight...

Add myself and seven yuan, that makes ten.

Now everything is ready, except for official news.

Taoyao closed the computer, thought for a while, then opened it again and wrote down some precautions for her roommate.

After sending it, she simply turned off the computer and put it on the sofa, then stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."

The cute little ghost turned off the TV and followed him happily.

After getting in the car, Keaigui realized something was wrong: "Master, aren't we going to see that weird thing? Why are we driving?"

Tao Yao: "After watching, let's go have a meal."

The cute ghost's eyes lit up instantly, and his ears stood up: "Okay!"

There was an eerie aura in the neighborhood, which was naturally mixed with weirdness.

Those people guarding outside can stop ordinary people from approaching, but they cannot stop the illusory things.

Therefore, the newcomer is most likely a ghost.

The cute and strange tail was swinging on the seat, and at the same time, it did not forget to stretch out its paw to show Taoyao the way.

In this way, under its guidance, Taoyao drove the car through many turns and arrived at the bottom of a building.

The houses here are generally not tall, only three or five stories high, about the same height as a villa.

As they approached the building, the strange atmosphere became noticeably stronger. Tao Yao got out of the car and looked up.

third floor.

"Strange, this monster seems to only stay on the third floor and never go up." The cute monster muttered.

After watching TV for so many days, it has a good understanding of modern times and can adapt to it quickly.

The only thing it didn't quite understand was probably why its owner always stayed alone in the house for so many days.

Tao Yao said "hmm", got back into the car and left.

The aura of this weird person was very pure and had never been tainted by human life, so she didn't intend to care about it.

Before the car left Jun Tingfang, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

She drove with one hand and answered the phone with the other: "Hello, Director Su, what's up?"

Be direct and to the point, without beating around the bush.

Director Su's kind laughter came from the other side: "Xiao Tao, Yu An and the others have returned and have all received tickets. When everyone is gathered, please notify me so that I can let them go."

This used to refer to going online.

With these five people, we are complete.

Tao Yao curled her lips slightly: "I'm going out to eat now, let's meet in two hours."

"Okay, I'll go tell them right away. Once they get in, everything will be up to you. Just give them your orders."

"Row."

After hanging up the phone, Tao Yao chose a restaurant closer to Jun Tingfang, ate something casually and returned to the villa. She replied to the eight people who had sent messages to the forum backend, telling them when she would be online, and then sent a message to Fu Hanqi through the game.

That way, everything is done.

She asked Keaigui to call her half an hour later, and she fell asleep on the sofa.

……

The second floor of Lingyou Tower.

It is already mid-December, and most players have already chosen to enter the game and used up their two chances per month.

There are fewer people on the second floor, needless to say.

When Tao Yao arrived, there were already ten people gathered at the station, and the remaining four appeared next to the crowd within just one minute.

There are fifteen people in total, all present.

Tao Yao stood in a corner and glanced at her teammates this time.

Fifteen people, nine men and six women.

There are not many familiar people, just Yu An, Li Xi, Fu Hanqi, and the girl in the short jacket in the copy of the amusement park.

This time, Tao Yao did not wear the E Yue robe, but a simple rabbit mask.

The reason for wearing a mask is not because I am afraid that others will know my identity, but because I don’t want my real name to be exposed.

She had made a big appearance in Haicheng before, and anyone who was interested could find out her identity after she went out.

It’s okay to be exposed to anyone, but if it is exposed in Lingyou Tower, it will be a very troublesome thing.

Rather than doing this, it is better to avoid it in advance.

Everyone immediately looked towards Tao Yao.

Among these dozen people, her dress was the most special.

"Are you Boss Yaoyao?" someone asked.

To be honest, the reason they got together was not just because this was a game for fifteen people, but also because there was a recruitment notice from Boss Yao Yao. Otherwise, these people might not necessarily be willing to try this game for fifteen people.

The more people there are, the more dangerous the copy becomes. Who would have the time to rush into a copy where they might die?

The Aries Community is a single-player dungeon, which is dangerous enough.

Tao Yao nodded slightly: "Well, everyone sit down first."

Just like that, everyone sat down in a circle, looking in Tao Yao's direction, not knowing what she was going to say.

"I was the one who took the lead in getting everyone together for this dungeon. Before we start, there are some things I want to explain to you in advance."

"Boss, you say, we all listen to you."

"Yes, boss, we are here for you this time. With you around, we are not afraid of anything!"

Tao Yao smiled slightly: "Okay, the situation of the copy is currently unknown, of course, as long as everyone is together and does what I say, I will ensure your safety."
