Chapter 1 Tianji Pavilion

Tianyuan City, Tianji Pavilion branch.

A towering, one-hundred-and-eighty-one-story building stood on the city center's commercial street, its footprint the size of a stadium that could hold a hundred thousand people. It was arguably one of the city's landmark buildings, and a place where countless players dreamed of working.

At this moment, many people had gathered on the street in front of this building, or rather, it had piqued the curiosity of many.

Because the usually quiet Tianji Pavilion branch had suddenly become lively. One after another, luxurious hovercars drove into the entrance of the building, numbering over a hundred, as if it were a hovercar carnival.

And the people who stepped out of these luxury cars made the onlookers gape in astonishment.

"Isn't that Qianli Wuya, the vice president of the super-first-rate guild Miracle? Why would he come to the Tianji Pavilion branch?"

"No, that person seems to be Mu Yun, the vice president of the first-rate guild Hundred Flowers Palace! She's even more beautiful in person!"

"The Pavilion Master of Dragon Phoenix Pavilion, Jiulong Huang, is here too!"

"What's going on? Why are so many high-level members of major guilds coming to the Tianji Pavilion branch? What day is it today?"

"I get it! This must be an internal auction held by Tianji Pavilion. But this internal auction is so grand! So many high-level members of major guilds have come."

"So many big shots from God's Domain gathered together, I'm getting goosebumps."

"If I could participate in an auction like this once, my life wouldn't be in vain."

The onlookers were no strangers to the figures descending from the luxury cars. In this era, virtual reality was a part of life. Compared to big stars, the high-level members of major guilds in the virtual game world were more well-known. And because of the popularity of God's Domain, more people had started to pay attention to the players in the virtual game world.

Watching one big guild figure after another enter the building, the onlookers could only feel envy, hoping that one day they could participate in such a grand scene instead of just watching from the sidelines.

"As rumored, the Tianji Pavilion is going all out this time, attracting so many people from big consortia." Qianli Wuya, standing in the hall, watched the Tianji Pavilion VIPs entering one after another, a cunning smile on his lips. "It seems that the item Tianji Pavilion obtained is going to be put up for auction this time."

"Guild Leader, if that's the case, then we're in for some trouble. According to our investigation, many big consortia are participating this time. I'm afraid these big consortia will compete with us for that item..." A beautiful woman with a curvy figure, wearing a deep purple dress, frowned slightly.

If Shi Feng were here, he would never imagine that this beauty was the vice guild leader of the Purgatory Legion, Chenji Sanyue. Compared to her appearance in the virtual game, the Chenji Sanyue before him was even more radiant and intelligent.

"We may not be a match in terms of financial resources, but in terms of resources in God's Domain, our Miracle has never been afraid of anyone. Who wins and who loses is still uncertain." Qianli Wuya glanced at the dozen or so representatives of big consortia chatting and laughing in the hall, and smiled slightly.

This Tianji Pavilion internal auction was indeed more unprecedented than ever before. The main reason was that those big consortia who never participated in the virtual game world were now involved. Even the Dark Auction couldn't compare to this.

While the high-level members of various major forces were greeting and chatting with each other in the magnificent lounge, five people also walked into the hall, four women and one man. The man could only be said to be quite unremarkable in this setting, but two of the four women immediately attracted the attention of many people present after entering the hall.

One was aloof and pure, giving people an indescribable sense of perfection, while the other was radiant and had a slender figure, with a charming aura that made people want to take a few more glances.

These two were Bai Qingxue and Shui Se Qiangwei. They were just like they were in the virtual game, but even after having truly met them in person before, Shi Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Although there were many beauties present, they all seemed to be slightly inferior compared to the two of them.

The remaining two people, one was Shi Feng's assistant Liang Jing, and the other was a woman invited by Shui Se Qiangwei. Shui Se Qiangwei said she was a friend, but this woman was actually Shui Se Qiangwei's cousin. She looked somewhat similar to Shui Se Qiangwei, although she was slightly inferior to Shui Se Qiangwei, she had a different temperament, with a bit more wisdom and maturity.

"There are so many guilds here!" Shui Se Qiangwei glanced at the people in the hall and quickly spotted many familiar figures, all of whom were celebrities in God's Domain.

"In addition to the guilds, there also seem to be some representatives of big consortia. Tianji Pavilion's methods are indeed impressive." Bai Qingxue looked at the people in the field who were surrounded by many high-level members of first-rate guilds, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Although some auctions in God's Domain could indeed invite some big consortia, they were definitely not as numerous as the ones at Tianji Pavilion's auction this time. There were at least five or six representatives of big consortia who were often seen in the news. Many major guilds wanted to get investment from these big consortia, but unfortunately, none of them were favored by these big consortia. Instead, these big consortia swallowed up many major guilds in God's Domain and developed rapidly.

Compared to the surprise of Shui Se Qiangwei and Bai Qingxue, Liang Jing, who was standing behind Shi Feng, was stunned.

She didn't understand what was happening at all, and even suspected that she hadn't woken up yet. Because early this morning, Shi Feng took her on the earliest flight to Tianyuan City. After seeing the two beautiful women, Shui Se Qiangwei and Bai Qingxue, she couldn't help but marvel. She didn't expect Shi Feng to know such beautiful women.

She had been the chairman's chief assistant in the Beidou Corporation for two or three years, and had seen many big shots. She could tell that Bai Qingxue and Shui Se Qiangwei had extraordinary temperaments and were definitely not ordinary people.

But after arriving at the Tianji Pavilion branch, she was completely confused.

She paid very little attention to the affairs of virtual games, but she knew a lot about major groups and enterprises, especially big consortia.

But after entering the building, she had seen more than a dozen representatives of big consortia in this short period of time. These were big shots that even Chairman Xiao Yu wanted to curry favor with but couldn't reach. Now they were gathered together. She couldn't think of any other possibility except for dreaming.

Although Shi Feng was known as a martial arts master, an identity that Chairman Xiao Yu had to take seriously, he was nothing compared to these people. They were not in the same world at all, not to mention that Shi Feng only played God's Domain besides teaching.

God's Domain was very popular, but in her opinion, it was just a virtual game. No matter how powerful the game was, what could it do?

However, Liang Jing didn't know that God's Domain, this virtual game, was not the same as previous virtual games, but a virtual reality game with the ability to extend the player's life. Moreover, when combined with potions, although it couldn't grant immortality, it could prolong life and increase lifespan. That's why it attracted countless big consortia to enter it and compete for these extremely limited resources.

Just as Liang Jing kept reminding herself that this must be a dream, a middle-aged refined man in a suit and tie with a muscular physique walked over.

As this middle-aged refined man walked step by step in front of Shi Feng and the others, many first-rate and even super-first-rate guild leaders in the hall had a trace of envy in their eyes.

"Damn it, why would he take a liking to Zero Wing?" Jiulong Huang, not far away, stared intently at the refined man stopping in front of Shi Feng and the others, grinding his teeth.

Just as Jiulong Huang was watching with bloodshot eyes, the middle-aged refined man also began to introduce himself to Shi Feng and the others.

"Hello! You must be the Zero Wing Guild. Let me introduce myself, I am Lu Xingluo, the representative of the Starflight Consortium. I wonder if we can find a quiet place to have a good chat?"

As the middle-aged refined man finished speaking, the high-level members of the major guilds around him couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, and Liang Jing, who was behind Shi Feng, opened her mouth even wider as she looked at the refined middle-aged man in front of her.

The Starflight Consortium!

This was one of the world's top 50 consortia!
