The next day.
The rooster crowed.
Li Yang woke up by himself.
To be honest, he doesn't really understand.
This is not the outskirts of backward Kuncheng, this is the prosperous city center of Jianghai, where the sound of roosters crowing can be heard at dawn.
Maybe it's the fresh ingredients in the kitchen...
Walk down and come to the hotel lobby cafeteria for self-service.
Li Yang picked up a big lobster and put it into his mouth while walking out the door.
Holding the auction flyer in hand, he rushed towards the address listed on it.
…
On the street, several professionals gathered together to chat.
"Damn, did you guys hear that? The professional rankings were updated at five in the morning today."
"Huh? What list?"
"It's the first-place ranking of newcomers this year! This is explosive news. In just a few hours, the entire Jianghai has been discussing it for over ten million times."
"Fuck, so exciting? What on earth happened?"
"I know that the original first place was Xiao Yang, a genius from Liuyun Pavilion. The list had already been finalized, but early today, the news suddenly came out and the information was updated."
"Xiao Yang, who was originally ranked first, changed one character! He became Li Yang!"
"Ah? Did he change his name?" a professional asked confusedly.
"Pfft...with your train of thought, did you invite an expert to your home? It's obvious that you just replaced the person directly!" The professional next to him laughed.
"It's hard to believe, right? You're even willing to believe that the name was changed, but you don't have that idea."
"Fuck, the No. 1 player has really been replaced! Is there any conspiracy?"
"It seems that we only found out later that someone had completed the first round earlier, faster than Xiao Yang from Liuyun Pavilion."
"Moreover, the reason why this incident caused such a big stir is because the name of the new No. 1 is Li Yang!"
"Li Yang? I remember him being the idiot who failed the awakening ceremony and didn't even want an SSS-level job. Could this be the same person?"
"It's hard to say. It could be a pseudonym."
"Most likely they are not the same person. If he hadn't given up his SSS-level career, then it's possible. Their current strength is simply not in the same league."
…
There were discussions everywhere.
Especially in the past few days when the talent competition was about to start, the attention has directly reached its peak.
At this time, Li Yang, wearing a cloak, was heading towards the auction house.
He still understands the principle of not showing off one's wealth.
In the past, many people have been assassinated after coming out of auctions because the treasures on their bodies were coveted.
It is also very important to hide your identity.
While walking on the road, Li Yang heard the conversations around him and nodded secretly in his heart.
It seems that the Professional Association has taken action.
Some people are, after all, just rats in the gutter. They only dare to do things secretly behind others' backs, and they immediately become cowardly when someone points a finger at their head.
After a while, a huge ancient building appeared before us.
This is the largest auction house in Jianghai!
In addition to auctions, it also provides many services, including leisure, entertainment, business, etc.
Because of today's auction, this place is already very lively and you can see the huge crowds of people inside at a glance.
Li Yang came to the door.
There are two security guards dressed meticulously standing on both sides.
㱗Here, Li Yang was stopped rarely.
However, the attitude of these two people is not bad.
No outsiders are allowed to enter today's auction.
Proof of assets is required.
It can be considered as doing it in a fair way.
It seems that his identity as a multi-millionaire can no longer be concealed.
Li Yang sighed secretly.
I compared the money with the two of them.
A moment.
The two security guards' eyes lit up.
"Sir, please come in. The auction will start in two hours. You can take a seat inside. Someone will guide you after you enter."
Li Yang nodded and stepped into the door.
Soon a waiter came up to greet us.
"Sir, please follow me."
Immediately following.
Li Yang followed the waiter into a hall.
At the front is a high platform, and opposite the platform are rows of chairs that are gradually rising.
Looking at the magnificent scenes around and the people dressed in luxurious clothes.
Li Yang was in a trance.
This is the upper class crowd in Jianghai.
Today, there are thresholds for entering, and only upper-class people can stand here.
Here, even strangers can stand together and talk like acquaintances.
But everyone's voices were so low that there was not even a trace of echo in this spacious hall.
Li Yang came here just to buy some second-level materials and didn't want to get involved with anyone.
Then he found a seat and sat down, waiting for the auction to begin.
After a while, a burst of rapid footsteps was heard.
The next moment, several professionals walked in from the door they came from.
The leader was a short and fat woman, surrounded by several tall men.
This flamboyant style of behavior...
Li Yang raised his eyebrows and took a look.
Who else could it be if not Wang Meili?
At this time, Wang Meili walked in with her head held high, like a proud and ugly white swan.
She brought her people to the front seat in a grand manner and sat down.
Compared with last time, the people surrounding her this time were a different group.
Whoever comes to such an occasion brings several subordinates with him, and they take up several seats as soon as they arrive.
Therefore, many people cast strange looks and whispered to each other, but due to etiquette they did not express it directly.
㱗When it comes to shamelessness, Wang Meili is gifted.
If it were someone else, they would probably have felt ashamed long ago.
Not only did she not feel that way, she actually looked superior.
You are worthy of it.
Li Yang shook his head secretly.
I silently gave her a thumbs up in my heart.
Please speed up!
If you continue like this, you will be beaten to death sooner or later.
Li Yang didn't expect to meet Wang Meili here, and felt a little unlucky.
But anyway, I would just buy the things and leave, so it didn’t matter much.
If I were wearing a cloak myself, Wang Meili wouldn't be crazy enough to come here and act crazy.
…
Time passes slowly.
There are more and more people in the hall.
After a while.
A woman wearing a golden butterfly mask and an exotic dress walked out from the curtain to the front stage.
"Hello everyone! I am today's host. I believe you have been looking forward to it for a long time. Without further ado, this year's Professional Auction will officially begin!"
The woman clapped her hands.
Immediately afterwards, several servants came onto the stage carrying something covered with a red cloth.
"This is the first treasure of the day!"
The woman walked forward and opened it.
In an instant, a finely crafted equipment appeared in everyone's eyes.
"This is a brilliant-level weapon - Crescent Staff, which has a precious cooling effect, allowing the mage to deal faster burst damage~ Starting price: 100,000 Dragon Coins!"
