Chapter 34 A Feigned Auction, a Secret Scheme

Inside the live stream room, Jia Yu had already pulled out a chair and sat down at the table, a gloomy smile on his face.

Hello everyone in the live stream!

Jia Yu said to the camera:

"The reason for today's live stream is to auction this off..."

As he spoke, he reached behind his back with his right hand, lifted the hem of his shirt, took out something, and slammed it onto the table.

when!

The object in his hand was firmly stuck in the table; it was a sharp dagger.

"I won't go into too much detail. Those with a good eye should recognize this thing. If you're interested, you can type your offer in the chat. The highest bidder wins. I don't accept private messages."

Strangely, after he finished speaking, he looked at the camera with a gloomy smile, seemingly not in a hurry to sell anything.

Naturally, some people in the live stream recognized this item:

"Hiss... A level four sealed artifact [Severely Injured]? Wasn't this thing Tiger's? How did it end up in this bastard's hands?"

"Upstairs, Tiger got killed by this guy in the last dungeon, so this thing ended up in his hands."

What?! Tiger's dead?!

"Yeah, even Tiger, a veteran beginner traveler, still got caught off guard and lost to this guy."

"If this guy joins the 'Black Saint Guild,' he'll be another menace to the traveler community, damn it..."

"That beast killed everyone in our instance, and I'm the only one who survived! Damn it!"

"Oh! Me too..."

Once the first person spoke out, others followed suit, accusing Jia Yu of various cruel methods they had suffered.

The discussion in the live stream became heated, with everyone expressing anger and condemnation of Jia Yu.

However, it must be said that these angry words also contained a subtle sense of fear.

Everyone knows that Jia Yu is a venomous snake, not only dangerous in the shadows, but also formidable even in a direct confrontation, his gleaming fangs should not be underestimated.

As Jia Yu watched the discussion in the live stream, the corners of his mouth curled up even more:

"Great, keep this momentum going. This bettor made the right choice."

Yes, a large portion of those who started the conversation were his planted shills.

The purpose is to create such an atmosphere.

As for the auction of the "seriously injured" person, it's just a gimmick.

"Let's continue like this..."

Jia Yu's smile widened, and he thought to himself.

Just then, an inconspicuous broadcast message flashed by.

"Little Silly in White" has joined the live stream.

Meanwhile, in a detached villa area in Shenzhen.

A girl wearing duck-patterned pajamas sat at the table, the system panel in front of her emitting a faint blue light.

Bai Yiyi frowned slightly as she looked at Jia Yu in the picture, her gaze constantly shifting between Jia Yu's expression and the comments section.

After a while.

She confirmed for the third time that when the discussion cooled down a bit, some IDs that appeared repeatedly would always pop up and stir up a new wave of public opinion.

"Wait... this guy isn't even here for the auction, there are shills in the live stream stirring things up... but why is this happening...?"

Judging from the comments section and the information she found, Jia Yu has almost never done a live stream.

"This guy made an exception and started a live stream, hiring shills to stir up trouble. It can't be that he's having a masochistic outburst and wants people to curse his whole family, can it...?"

Bai Yiyi continued scrolling up the comments section, her brain racing and her eyes moving rapidly with her gaze, reading ten lines at a glance.

Until her finger suddenly stopped on a comment message.

"If this guy joins the 'Black Saint Guild,' he'll be another menace to the traveler community, damn it..."

She recognized the ID in the message; it belonged to one of those who had previously stirred up trouble.

A flash of inspiration struck me.

"The Black Saints Guild is recruiting Jia Yu soon, but the two sides are probably still negotiating terms."

Bai Yiyi clenched her fingers tightly:

"The Black Saint Guild is a notoriously ruthless organization, and its style of doing things matches Jia Yu's perfectly. Jia Yu is probably hunting down other travelers to increase his status and get more resources and better treatment from the Black Saint Guild, which is why he attacked us indiscriminately in the dungeon..."

boom!

She slammed her hand on the table, gritting her teeth:

"For something like this... they actually used human lives as bargaining chips..."

She almost died at the hands of the butcher!

Taking a deep breath, Bai Yiyi tried to calm herself down and bring her thoughts back to the present.

"But he probably didn't expect to encounter a tough opponent in the dungeon. That young man with the axe was too strong and completely crushed him."

"More than 100,000 people watched this scene. For a restricted-level instance, that number of viewers is terrifying."

"Undoubtedly, this live stream of the instance will become a disadvantage for him in negotiations with the 'Black Saint Guild,' because the 'Black Saint Guild' may use it to lower his evaluation and put pressure on him to reduce his treatment."

"So he started a live stream, displayed the dagger, and even hired shills to stir up trouble in the live stream. He had two purposes:"

Publicize the horrific acts he committed to instill fear in the public and enhance their perception of his abilities.

And displaying the spoils conveyed the message that "something was gained, and the operation was not a failure."

"Ultimately, it's about raising the bar for the 'Black Saint Guild' behind it."

Bai Yiyi thought to herself, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously tightened.

Following this line of thought, it becomes clear what Jia Yu will do next.

He will inevitably try to hunt down and kill him and Qi Xie.

Because nothing is more terrifying than killing one's own prey that slipped through the net, or taking revenge on an enemy who ruined one's plans.

He could then use this to negotiate a higher price with the Black Saints.

He wants to use himself and Qi Xie as stepping stones!

Thinking of this, Bai Yiyi's eyes narrowed.

"No, even if it costs a fortune, we have to find someone to find and take care of this guy right now. Letting him exist is far too dangerous..."

To enlist the help of a seasoned supernatural traveler would come at a considerable cost, especially since she would need to pay an extra price to speed things up in order to eliminate Jia Yu as quickly as possible.

Even for her "petit bourgeois" family, this is not a small amount.

Bai Yiyi picked up her phone, about to call her father, but then paused.

After hesitating for a moment, she reached out to the system panel, deciding to contact Qi Xie first.

There's no particular reason.

If I had to put it into words, it would be that this seemingly mentally unstable young man possessed an inexplicable and mysterious confidence that made him seem a little unreliable.

And those who seem unreliable are always the ones who are reliable.

While Bai Yiyi was acting, the live stream and the chat continued.

"My brother bravely shielded everyone from the monster, and we agreed to take turns covering our retreat. But when it was your turn, you deserted and killed my brother! Jia Yu, you son of a bitch! You sword tomb bastard!"

A long message appeared on the screen, and one could easily imagine the sadness and rage in the sender's heart.

Jia Yu, however, wore an arrogant and cruel smile, and in order to maintain the atmosphere, he took the initiative to provoke:

"So what? As long as I'm alive, that's all that matters. What business is it of mine if he wants to go up and block me? If he likes to play the hero, then so be it."

"Damn it! Jia Yu, I will kill you!"

"What a fucking beast! I wish you the best of luck on your walk!"

"This beast is too arrogant! Can anyone find him?!"

"Difficult. The Traveler System doesn't rely on the network, so it can't be tracked online."

"Damn it, hasn't anyone tried reverse-engineering the [Wanderer System]?"

"Heh, just a few dishes, bro, and you're this drunk? This damn thing covers all travelers worldwide. Just imagine how terrifying the entity controlling this system must be. You think you can reverse-engineer it?"
