As soon as he went out, Su Mingan was startled by the sea of people in front of him.
"Outer area, tickets for the outer area are auction-based, with a cap of 170 points. If you want it, bid directly! There are only three left, so seize the opportunity!"
"Is there a core area? Give me one from the core area! The inner area is fine too!"
"Hey, man, how can you find tickets for the core area on the roadside? You have to go to the player auction house on the forum to see it. Now a ticket for the core area has been sold for 700 points. There is still no market price. At this level The time is all sold out, no matter how many points you have, you can’t get them.”
"..."
Su Mingan had heard before that the auction house was a huge circle and adopted a circular zoning system. Sitting in the center are the adventure players who can actually participate in the auction. They can enter without tickets. They have their own corresponding seating areas and can sit down when they find a seat.
Other casual players who can only watch are not so lucky. Although there are literally billions of seats prepared, tickets still cost money and are even divided into levels. The higher the level, the fewer the tickets. They can only buy tickets to enter, otherwise they can only watch the live broadcast in places like pubs and teahouses.
The circular auction venue is divided into edge area, peripheral area, inner area and core area from outside to inside.
The core area is the area next to the adventure players, and it is also the best place that the audience can reach. With the help of the floating screen, they can see clearly what the adventure players look like.
A ticket to the core area can be purchased for 700 points, which is also aimed at casual players.
It is far easier for casual players to obtain points than for adventurous players. There is no risk for them to have their points wiped out. As long as they do their respective jobs honestly, they can be stable even if their daily income is low.
Seven hundred points, although it is high for casual players, is still a price acceptable to high-end lifestyle players. Tickets are so precious that some people would rather not see the top players but buy a ticket for the fringe zone just to get in and experience it. Change the atmosphere. It’s normal for the innermost tickets to be priced at 700 points.
Sometimes, people tend to complain that the life of casual players is too comfortable.
But whatever you gain, you will also lose something, but most people don't understand.
Su Mingan followed the flow of people and headed to one of the "world-class service area transmission channels", preparing to line up to enter.
After observing for a while, he found that today really had a New Year-like atmosphere.
Perhaps it was because they had been suppressed too much these past few days, but when such a world-class event happened, the players' backlash was particularly enthusiastic. Along the way, Su Mingan saw happy people with smiles on their faces as if they were going to an amusement park. Even the children seemed to be on a spring outing.
After thinking about it carefully, he understood.
The times need heroes, and it is human nature to be strong.
Previously, these people had been looking at the players at the top of the rankings through a screen, but they had no way to get close. But now, they finally have such an opportunity. Just like seeing a top diva holding a concert tour, they will naturally seize this opportunity and use their naked eyes to take a good look at those top players who usually only appear on the screen.
Su Mingan had already seen that many people were holding tickets tightly in their hands, as if they were holding treasures, and they were almost sweating. On both sides, there were some scalpers selling tickets. Needless to say, the prices were quite outrageous.
He suddenly heard a scalper tugging loudly:
"——Core area ticket! System-proven, 100% fidelity core area ticket! One thousand and two points per ticket, come quickly if you want it, this is the only one——!"
This shout instantly shouted a group of people over.
"Can it be cheaper?" A man wearing gold and silver said immediately.
"Boss, you want a thousand and two dollars!" The person next to him looked shocked.
"It's all my fault. I wanted to take a look at that time, but I didn't have time to take action. Otherwise, I would have bought the 700-point ticket from the Player Auction House. Damn it, I really wish I could chop up the hesitant self..." The man's face was filled with regret. .
"One thousand two, just one thousand two, if you want a direct transaction, there is no need to negotiate the price!" The scalper took a firm stance.
The man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth:
"Bought it!"
As soon as he made a move, the people nearby exclaimed in surprise, as if they didn't expect that there was an invisible rich man in the crowd.
"Wait, isn't that Frixis from the Ravnica Guild..."
"It's him, no wonder he's so generous. That guild is a large blacksmithing guild, and the equipment is very valuable now..."
"As soon as the associate professional players are promoted, they become a points machine. I really envy these talented guys..."
Huang Niu was smiling broadly, but Frixis had a look of pain on his face. He clenched the ticket in his hand and forced his head to the side, as if this would prevent him from regretting it.
"Boss, boss, then, then I..." The younger brother next to him was still clutching a marginal zone ticket.
"You go with Burris and the others, I will, I will go alone first..." Frisis's face turned red, and the decision just made him bleed profusely: "Damn it, if it weren't for the sake of seeing my idol Su Ming'an, I'm not like that either... Damn it, I must watch enough today, I must watch the whole process until the end——"
Su Mingan, who was covered in cold sweat, passed him by.
After blending into the crowd, Su Mingan listened to the exchanges of people on both sides and understood his current situation more and more.
It seems that the previous actions of the United Regiment and other organizations... went too far?
How come no matter where he goes, no matter which group of people he is near, he can hear his name...
"We believe that the most serious stage has passed. After all, the strongest players are still there..."
"I'm so excited, Emma. I grabbed the tickets for the core area. We can really see the legendary number one player with our own eyes..."
"Su Mingan will go to today's auction. I'm here specifically for him..."
"Sororo, you must do a good job in today's interview. When the auction is over, rush in and catch the top players who enter the venue. Catch them one by one. Seize the topic and make sure to reveal something. Come with the ingredients..."
"Based on the previous situation, will there be a situation where all organizations will give way to Su Mingan and let him take all the lots at the lowest price?"
"No, I don't think it's..."
Squeezed in the crowded crowd, Su Mingan kept hearing his name echoing repeatedly, as if listening to a repeater. At the same time, names like "Noel", "Edward" and "Mizushima Kawakawa" are also popular terms in people's mouth.
At this moment, people always seem to pay extra attention to the players at the top of the list.
...After all, this is the first large-scale gathering of top players since the beginning of the world game.
Even in this gathering, other people are no longer just spectators, they can even participate.
Su Mingan followed the crowd and gradually saw the teleportation vortex at the end of the street.
It was a rotating vortex, at least three meters high and eight meters wide, and could accommodate several people entering at the same time.
The scene in front of them was like dumplings being dropped horizontally. The surging crowd squeezed into the white light and then disappeared, leaving those behind to continue pushing forward.
Among them, many people who had a sense of luck were directly transported to other places, and those without tickets could not get in at all.
When passing through this white vortex, a familiar sense of teleportation came.
Su Mingan heard the system voice ringing in his ears:
[Detecting player identity...]
[Beep, the detection has been successful. Player name (Su Mingan), ID (BE3030), game identity: No. 1 on the world list, special identity: person in power. 】
[Matching channels for players...]
[The match is successful and the player will be transported to the NO.1 luxury channel...]
The white light exploded, completely surrounding him.
When he opened his eyes again, Su Mingan saw a long transparent passage.
Surrounded by an invisible barrier, with a scarlet carpet underneath, he was the only one in this long passage.
Looking down at the transparent barriers on both sides, he could see the confused crowd of heads below. People's hair colors were intertwined together, and the crowded crowd was like a colorful carpet.
...He is in an air passage, and depending on the situation, it is still his personal exclusive passage.
The passage was not stuffy, and he could feel the cool breeze coming from the front, like an air conditioner.
Compared with the players below who were crowded together and slowly entered, almost turning into a ball of sauce, his treatment was simply as high as the sky.
He noticed that the players below emerged from the surrounding teleportation vortex.
These whirlpools are probably the "one hundred thousand transmission channels" that have been opened as mentioned in the sky broadcast. Obviously, these people do not have such good treatment as him, and they can only have a single passage. They can only squeeze in slowly with the flow of people.
Su Mingan was a little curious about the structure of this passage, so he squatted down and tapped on it.
It has the same hard effect as an ordinary protective cover.
The people below should not be able to see him. He saw that many people were already raising their heads, but they seemed not to see him.
This should be an invisible passage, so he simply took off his cloak.
"Hello sir."
Just as he squatted down to knock on the barrier, a gentle female voice with a hint of confusion came from the side.
He raised his head and saw a woman wearing a scarlet uniform and a black butt-covering skirt standing in front of him. Her hands were folded and flat on her abdomen, and her legs were straight, which was a standard service staff posture.
"Sir...Sir, do you have any questions about this? I am your exclusive personal secretary for this auction. I will answer all your questions during this trip." The woman looked a little confused, not knowing that he was squatting what are you doing.
"Oh, it's okay." Su Ming'an stood up as if nothing happened: "Exclusive personal secretary?"
"Yes." The woman showed a proper smile: "In view of your noble status, I am here to provide you with exclusive personal services. You can call me Xiaona. You can give me orders for all matters related to this auction. Do it.”
"Exclusive...do other players also have it?"
The woman shook her head.
"In this auction, you are the only one who has the qualifications to be your exclusive personal secretary." She whispered softly: "This channel is also your own SVIP red carpet channel. Even other distinguished players on the list are only ten An ordinary VIP channel where people can travel together.”
...Here we go again.
Su Mingan knew as soon as he heard it that the organizer had started again.
Every time there is a global event like this that needs to be exposed to the whole world, this set of differential treatment comes out, and it is so obvious that the whole world wants to see it.
There was no one behind him, and there was a Xiaomi standing behind him serving tea and water... It was like trampling the other players' faces to the ground.
"If you have no other questions, please come with me now." Xiaona turned sideways: "Through this passage, you can reach the auction area for adventure players, and I will take you to your exclusive seat .”
...There is no turning back.
Su Ming'an knew that there was no way he could drive this woman away here. She didn't know her identity and didn't even know if she was a living creature. He couldn't possibly act against the organizer.
"...Let's go." He said.
Xiaona nodded and led him across the long carpet to the end of the passage.
When he saw a wide open door at the end of the passage, he saw the scene inside the auction house.
To his surprise, it was not an indoor scene like a movie theater... but a bright blue sky and white clouds.
Outdoor auction house.
This is an extremely huge outdoor auction house, like an independent space.
Before he even reached the door, a demonic and noisy sound came from the passage along the door. The noisy voices mixed with the vast world outside, making him think for a moment that he was back at the opening ceremony of the World Game.
At the same time, he saw a floating, extremely clear and bright auction table in the center of his field of vision.
At this time, the auction table was still empty, surrounded by a transparent defensive cover.
The entire auction house looks like it is sinking in the middle, with its surroundings high and the middle low. The floating height of the auction table is slightly equal to that of the mid-height adventure player seats.
As far as the field of vision is concerned, there are rows of seats that are crisscrossed and cannot be seen to the side. These scarlet seats are like grains of rice embedded in the ground. At this time, many adventurers are already sitting densely.
This is a bidding area that belongs exclusively to adventure players. Only adventure players can enter. As for the casual players watching, they have been kept outside.
However, the core viewing area for casual players is only separated by a thin line from the seats for adventure players at the top, which is considered worthy of the ticket price.
Before stepping out of the door, Su Mingan heard the sound of players moving above.
"Where is the third-level player area... Damn it, I don't have a waiter to guide me. I'm going to die."
"Well, the red area at the center height is the position area for the players at the top of the list. It's so conspicuous. If you really can't find a spot, just sit there."
"Are you looking for death? Peak, top of the list, first class, second class, third class, fourth class. Each area can only seat players with a fixed rating. If you change areas at will, who knows what the consequences will be."
"——Wow, wait, where is that place? Why is there an independent glass space?"
"Damn it, I just realized that this is too prominent, it's like a VIP room..."
"So cool! So cool! This, this is so cool! This, who is this for..."
Listening to the words of the player above, Su Mingan felt something bad, and had a feeling that he had been arranged inexplicably.
"Ding dong!"
At this moment, a system prompt suddenly sounded.
Someone sent him a communication.
He connected, and Lu Shu's face appeared on the video screen.
"Su Mingan." Lu Shu's voice was a little dull:
"Something happened in the world of the Lord God."
