Chapter 1211: Auction Venue

Su Sheng removed the game helmet, shook his slightly dazed head—let alone being accustomed to lying in the game cabin; now using the helmet for long-term gaming, he really wasn't quite used to it.

Indeed, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but hard to go from extravagance back to frugality.

He glanced over; Huan Jie, lying beside him, had also just taken off her game helmet.

"How is it, still going smoothly?"

Su Sheng asked with a smile.

"Not bad; the ice frost dragon's flying ability gives me a big advantage." Lin Huan set down the helmet, smoothed her hair, and said with a smile.

Before, in the game, Lin Huan and Su Sheng were not assigned to the same main city.

Lin Huan was randomly transferred to Cyber City.

In the game, each was busy and couldn't communicate properly.

Su Sheng naturally put Lin Huan into his embrace, then asked about things in the game, while also recounting his own experiences.

The two lingered for almost an hour before tidying up and heading out.

"Huan Jie, Huan Jie, come quickly; I'll take you to the Li Clan Conglomerate's base."

Upon reaching the hotel's first floor, Li Wenwan and Chen Guan were already waiting.

"Let's go." Su Sheng said with a smile upon hearing that.

This was also the plan agreed upon from the start.

Soon.

The group then saw Li Xiao and also a middle-aged person.

He couldn't really be called middle-aged; he's roughly close to forty, and in the gaming circle he's already considered an old-timer.

"Shen Wang Chairman?" Su Sheng looked at that old-timer with a slightly uncertain inquiry.

He truly didn't know what Shen Wang looked like in reality.

"Hehe, Mo Wen Chairman, it's great that you're young; I didn't expect a peer expert like you to be so young."

"Stop calling me Shen Wang; my name is Zhang Wang."

Zhang Wang laughed heartily, his tone tinged with emotion.

He knew that Su Sheng's identity among the masses was Jue Ming Shu Sheng—a figure who had already gained fame from the early days of the group and later became a legendary codename.

Unfortunately, he was like a meteor, vanishing quietly at his brightest moment.

In Shen Wang's impression, Su Sheng should be a guy roughly his age.

"Tsk, back when you were among the heroes, you were just a little brat."

Looking at Su Sheng's appearance, Shen Wang spoke with a hint of amusement.

"Hehe, back then it was just youthful vigor."

Su Sheng gave an embarrassed smile; he had been only fifteen when he first joined the heroes, so calling him a little brat was indeed not an overstatement.

"It's all the same; who isn't reckless in their youth?" Zhang Wang also gave a hehe laugh.

"Mo Wen Chairman, Lin classmate." Li Xiao also came over at that time.

"Li classmate, long time no see." Lin Huan, linking arms with Lin Tian, spoke openly and confidently.

"Long time no see." Li Xiao's gaze fell on Lin Huan holding Su Sheng's hand; although his smile remained proper, a hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

Although through Li Wenwan he had long known the true relationship between Su Sheng and Lin Huan.

But seeing it in person, it was still inevitable to feel a sense of loss.

"Brother, where is Sister-in-law Qing Xue?"

At that moment, Li Wenwan walked over, smiling as she inquired.

"Cough, what are you shouting 'sister-in-law' for? We're not married yet." Li Xiao spoke somewhat unnaturally.

"Tch, it's just a matter of time." Li Wenwan pursed her lips.

Qing Xue is the arranged marriage partner Li Xiao's family set up for him.

No matter where, in many cases the practice of matching families by social standing still exists.

"Alright, alright, the auction is about to start; let's go."

Li Xiao hurriedly cut off Li Wenwan's sentence.

…

Treasure Hall's auction this time.

It can be called unprecedented in scale, held at the Tianhai World Expo Hall. (A random name, don't mind.)

It was divided into several private rooms, and there was also a main hall.

Although the scale is large, the number of people is not actually high.

Moreover, those private rooms are quite interesting; they are all located in the second-floor gallery, all made of one-way glass—so from the first-floor hall you can't see the private rooms, but the private rooms can overlook the entire first-floor hall.

The most interesting part is…

Each private room has a display screen above it, showing the names and logos of the various guilds.

Flame Yellow, Universe, Breaking Dawn, Morning Star…

However, not every guild can have its own private room.

Besides the former top ten guilds, only an additional Flame Yellow and an additional Myth were added, and moreover, an extra Snow Falls Thousand Cities was added for fun.

That's quite interesting.

Guilds the size of Vertical and Horizontal and Chu Song don't have exclusive private rooms.

Many players who had already arrived in the hall looked up at those second-floor private rooms, chatting excitedly, but nobody had any objections……

Those who could be invited are all well-known figures in the game; how could they not know what these guild names represent in the game?

Guilds similar to Vertical and Horizontal Chu Song and Cloud, although they didn't have private rooms, definitely all had been invited to attend.

Not counting those in private rooms, the main hall alone had nearly ten thousand people, including some media.

Have to say, this scale is really not small.

Soon, members of the major guilds appeared one after another and entered their own exclusive private rooms.

The appearance of those people caused many players in the hall to discuss even more.

Su Sheng, Li Xiao, and the others weren't late.

The group went straight to Huan Yu Guild's private room.

"The Huan Yu people have arrived, but I don't know who is who."

"Looking at the older one, I guess it must be Shen Wang."

"I know the one leading the front—he's Li Xiao, heir of the Li conglomerate! Also Deputy President of Huan Yu Guild, Shen Xiao!"

"The others are probably experts from Huan Yu Guild."

Although the Heroes have existed for ten years, back then the Heroes didn't have this scale.

Very few of the many experts have actually met offline.

However, there was one exception: when the Primordial Guild appeared, the entire auction hall instantly bubbled.

Mainly, it's Gu Qingcheng!

That's the specially hired game spokesperson from Teng Long Company.

She should also be, up to now, a player whose in-game appearance matches her real-life looks completely.

"Hello everyone, I'm Gu Qingcheng, spokesperson for Zhu Lu Game, thank you all for supporting Zhu Lu."

Gu Qingcheng even openly greeted everyone before entering the private room, causing a cheer in the auction hall.

"How about it, Brother Su? Are you envious? Why don't you also come out and say hello? I'm sure if you show up, the scene will be even livelier than Gu Qingcheng's."

Li Xiao looked at the commotion in the lower private rooms, turned back, and said to Su Sheng.

"Forget it." Su Sheng rolled his eyes—this guy really is something; having already come to Huan Yu's private room, he definitely wouldn't do something that ruins the plan.

Hehe~

Li Xiao gave a hehe laugh; he naturally understood too—it was just that he couldn't resist making a joke earlier.

But right after, the second commotion arrived.

Yanhuang Guild!

Two men, eight women!

All handsome men and beautiful women, they all went up to Yanhuang Guild's private room…
