I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Chapter 122 The First Safe Zone Auction (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Inside the private room, several people froze, then widened their eyes and carefully read the auction's explanation.

"The auction will be held three days from now, at midnight local time."

"If a Dreamer is interested in auctioning a treasure, they can have the treasure appraised and registered at the appraisal area on the left side of the mission hall."

"The auction also features many rare items provided by the shopkeeper, including but not limited to rare spell items, spell scrolls, and so on."

The auction details were largely ignored by the group in the baseball caps; their attention was focused on a single line of text.

"Rare cursed items are available for bidding at the auction!"

"And not just one!!"

The group remained silent for a moment, their eyes filled with a determination to obtain the rare cursed artifact.

At this point, the guy in the baseball cap asked, "Shall we continue playing the large-scale nightmare mode?"

Li Wei: "Let's fight! With the auction just around the corner, we need to secure that massive nightmare. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if we had a desired cursed item but didn't have the money to buy it."

Old Wang: "That's true. Moreover, although we are senior members, in terms of wealth, we can't compare to those veteran powerhouses. However, besides taking down the large nightmare, we also need to pay attention to one thing: ensuring that we are still in the dream three nights from now. That's the key."

This is indeed crucial.

Some of them have been in a dream for two or three days. If we consider that a dream cycle lasts five to seven days, they may unfortunately return to reality three nights from now.

This is not a problem for these members.

By switching between wearing and sealing the Dreamfall Orb, they can roughly control the timing of the Dreamfall and its return.

The error is about half a day.

But they have three days to prepare; from returning to reality to falling back into the dream, one day is enough.

Meanwhile, within the safe zone, members who had learned of the auction began calculating their own time to fall into the dream, determined to be present at that moment.

Those who weren't members were getting a bit frustrated.

"An auction? I want to participate too!!"

However, these non-members dared not wear the Dreamfall Orb casually. Even if the Dreamfall Orb was sealed, its residual aura would still affect them, greatly prolonging their time in the Dream Realm. If they failed to reach the safe zone, they might lose their lives as a result.

Non-members who have fallen into the dream can only feel dejected.

Someone nearby said, "This auction is obviously for the big members to compete for; it's pointless for us little Camillas to participate. We can't afford it."

"No, who says I can't afford to film!"

One of the dreamers had piercing eyes, and a faint aura of curse emanated from his body.

Yes—a master who has reached the peak of the control stage.

However, the appearance of a Dream Fallen at the peak of the Control stage is no longer surprising. Refinement stage experts pass through this mission hall from time to time.

It's just a period of control.

Unfazed by the transition period in conversation, he simply suggested, "Dude, if you're really flush with cash and absolutely insist on participating, there are ways."

"Oh, what method?"

"It's simple. Just buy a Dreamfall Pearl, and then find a high-level VIP member to team up with. However, at this point, there are probably quite a few people who want to team up with a VIP member."

In a safe zone, inside a hotel, in a standard room.

Old Yao also received the news.

He has now been promoted and is now the director of the liaison office of the new department.

He called over a team member, "This is our liaison office's first task; we must complete it successfully."

Old Yao copied down every detail of the auction on a piece of parchment that could be brought back to the present world. Not long after, the group members returned to the present world through special means.

General bureau.

Captain Lu Qing has passed away. Currently, the only remaining officers at the General Administration are Captain Bai, Captain Li, and Captain Fen.

Bai Yu said, "It seems that this auction in the safe zone mainly auctions cursed items, especially rare cursed items."

Burning Fire said, "The shopkeeper is probably doing this to provide the Dream Fallers who are at the First Refinement Realm with an opportunity to obtain high-grade cursed items."

The store manager is great, no further explanation needed.

"That shop manager has helped Baijiang many times. This time, the auction held in the safe zone will ultimately benefit the Dreamers of Baijiang. As the official organization of Baijiang, our Policy Bureau should support him with all its might."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'd like to take out a batch of treasures and auction them off in the safe zone. What do you think?"

Burning Fire is now a member of the safe zone and one of the store manager's favorites, so of course he has no objection.

Li Yunfeng also said, "Indeed, we should provide support. Moreover, apart from the shopkeeper, the safe zone only has a handful of loyal followers left. To be honest, the safe zone camp is not very large, and the shopkeeper may not be able to provide many treasures. Our strong support will solve the auction's urgent problem."

His conjecture is reasonable and well-founded.

Normally, the safe zone only charges a small fee for food and facilities, and does not charge the Dreamers a share of their loot.

In this situation, even if the shopkeeper in the safe zone and several of his loyal followers are very strong, the safe zone's treasure inventory won't be that much.

Just like their Jiyi Martial Arts School in Baijiang City.

The master of the Ultimate Intent Martial Arts School is very strong, arguably the number one in Baijiang. However, apart from the master, only a few of the true disciples in the entire Ultimate Intent Martial Arts School are considered strong.

The wealth of the Natural Ultimate Martial Arts School is far less than that of their Countermeasures Bureau.

"Now, let's go to the treasure vault and select a batch of suitable treasures."

The White Team sent a notification to the Logistics Department.

Soon, the person in charge of the treasure vault personally led more than a dozen capable people to welcome the three team leaders.

"Captains, this batch of treasures you requested is quite suitable—"

The news that the safe zone was going to hold an auction, while not quite sweeping through the entire city of Baijiang, was like a bombshell among the Dreamers who had been to the safe zone.

Even some lone wolf powerhouses who don't usually interact with others were drawn out.

A black market for those who have fallen into dreams.

Cheng Ping, a Refining Stage expert, thought to himself, "An auction? I really should go check it out. Luckily, I applied for a membership card a few days ago, otherwise, I would just be watching from the sidelines."

He actually didn't really want to reveal his extraordinary strength.

Unfortunately, the membership was too tempting, and he couldn't resist.

In another location, at a gathering of high-ranking Dreamers, Li Wei arrived.

He said, "I can provide three team spots, guaranteeing entry into the safe zone."

"He is the one who killed the strange wolf king a few days ago," and his identity is a guarantee of credibility.

He wants to use this to raise more funds.

..

One by one, strong individuals from the community sprang into action.

Besides members of the safe zone, there are also some powerful individuals in the general public. The auction holds immense appeal for these people.

"Ye Chuan, the founder of Longchuan Black Market," was a renowned Refinement Stage expert.

He refused offers from large organizations and managed his own little corner of the black market.

Over the course of time, Ye Chuan has accumulated considerable wealth.

However, he wasn't part of a large organization, and often he had Dream Crystals but nowhere to spend them.

"The safe zone is said to be a powerful camp that even the Countermeasures Bureau acknowledges."

"But to ensure I reach the safe zone, I need to team up with a member."

"Members, who are the safe zone members?"

Ye Chuan holds a high position of power and influence. In addition to the black market he founded, he is also the boss of a large local company in Baijiang.

Even so, he still had to spend a lot of money to buy a spot in a member team.

They're still very hard to find!

Most members won't reveal their real identities, except for the powerful members directly under the control of large organizations.

In the end, Boss Ye had to rely on connections and ask someone he knew in the Countermeasures Bureau to get a spot in a team.

Similar situations are occurring throughout Baijiang.

The common dreamers eagerly awaited the auction, as did the core members of the large organizations. However, being from a large organization didn't guarantee freedom over cursed objects; the major organizations in Baijiang City weren't that wealthy yet.

The deputy captain of the Countermeasures Bureau, a direct descendant of the Wizarding Family, and certain senior masters of the Ultimate Martial Arts School —

They still hope to win good items at the auction.

"only----"

"I wonder how many rare-grade cursed items the shopkeeper can bring out? I have a feeling the bidding pressure will be extremely high!"

Thinking about it carefully, rare-grade cursed items must be very few.

And it seems there are too many competitors.

The vast majority of members are potential competitors, and there are also wealthy individuals among the non-members.

But with such a rare cursed artifact before them, they had no choice but to try to gather more dream crystals.

Time flew by, and soon it was the third day as predicted.

The mission lobby has been expanded once again, and the layout has been slightly adjusted, with a display stand set up in the front desk area.

office.

"Manager, the Dreamers have submitted more treasures than expected. The Countermeasures Bureau has submitted the most, with a total of three rare-grade cursed artifacts and twelve precious herbs, one of which is a rare-grade herb."

Shi An was somewhat surprised.

He immediately understood that the Countermeasures Bureau was definitely not short of money, and that this was the Bureau's support for the safe zone.

Besides the Countermeasures Bureau, various organizations and individuals who are also dreamers provided a number of items for auction. There were dozens in total, not including some of the lower-value items that were rejected.

The auction featured a wide variety of items, and without the existence of a valuation machine, Wu Qing wouldn't have been able to identify many. Of course, he was also the head store manager at the time.

Not just anyone can host an auction, but the safe zone happens to meet all the requirements.

Nowhere is a better place to hold an auction than the safe zone.

"The midnight auction is sure to be very lively."

During the daytime, the mission hall was already quite lively.

Many members arrived early, either to consign treasures for auction or to make the most of their time tackling the nightmare and earn some extra money.

As night fell and the auction drew closer, the number of Dreamers gathering in the hall increased.

One after another, powerful members and important figures in real life appeared in people's eyes.

This is a grand gathering of the strong!
