Chapter 95 Preliminary Investigation

[Investigate the background, organizational structure and name of the player group that held the "Super Treasure Appraisal Conference"]

[Confirm whether there is a person wearing the "Moon Necklace" at the auction site]

[Find out whether "Jinhuang Security" has further business dealings with it, and try to collect clues and evidence]

After writing here, Gao Yi paused slightly, turned the signature pen in his hand twice, and wrote again on the paper in front of him:

[See if there are any equipment and potions worth consuming, pay special attention to whether weapons can be bought]

After writing this, the subsequent goals were roughly summarized. Gao Yi nodded with satisfaction and closed the notebook.

Next is the practical part.

In the "Shaxian meeting" just now, Gao Yi still reached an agreement with Zhao Qian and agreed to sneak into the auction and conduct an investigation.

As a condition, Zhao Qian will help Gao Yi solve a series of trivial matters in his hands.

Including but not limited to collecting bounties, finding ways to repair equipment, purchasing specific potions and equipment, and collecting specific intelligence.

If Gao Yi were to complete these tasks one by one, it would probably take several days, and there would be no guarantee of safety and completion rate.

Now that someone is helping, it does save a lot of trouble.

However, it is worth mentioning that Gao Yi did not pay much attention to the fact that his "attribute" list as a player has changed slightly.

[Countdown to the next game: 29 days]

After becoming a D-level player, the countdown for each game has doubled, and now it is enough to enter the dungeon once a month.

This is a good thing. After all, although entering the dungeon has a chance to gain a lot of benefits, it is also full of dangers.

The relaxation of the time limit also gave Gao Yi more time to prepare and deal with real events.

On the other hand, the ticket folder has also changed.

[Ticket folder: Heart Strange Mist (already conquered), West City Strange Things (already conquered), Toy War (Eight of Swords), Black Island Prison (Seven of Wands), Death Summoning (Seven of Grails)]

Gao Yi only got one ticket in the last dungeon. After thinking about it for a while, he made a deduction.

In the first [Heart Strange Mist] dungeon, he completed the main task III and got two tickets.

This time, in [Western City Strange Things], only the main task II was completed, so only one ticket was obtained.

"In other words, if only the main task I is completed, there will be no ticket income?"

Gao Yi whispered to himself, and some of his previous doubts were answered.

This is why many players, even though they have cleared the dungeon, still lack tickets and have to buy them from others.

Fortunately, Gao Yi has completed both dungeons well now, and there will be no problem of lack of tickets for the time being.

"But that charlatan has so many tickets, why doesn't he just sell them? This is not a small amount of money."

The problem appeared again, Gao Yi frowned slightly, and wrote down his doubts in his notebook.

There are still many mysteries about the player named Zhao Qian.

But no matter what, we still have to solve the current matter first.

In the initial investigation just now, Gao Yi has confirmed the basic information of this "Super Treasure Appraisal Conference".

It is held in Beijiang District, a new commercial center in Nankang City in recent years, and is a certain distance away from the old city where Gao Yi is now.

According to the schedule on the official website, tomorrow is the last day of "Treasure Appraisal Day", and the auction will be held immediately afterwards.

Slide the mouse wheel, below is a large number of antique treasures that have been identified as authentic, and below is a large number of expert introductions and sponsor information.

With complete procedures, a large number of experts, and an official platform, it is undoubtedly a legal activity.

Of course, according to Zhao Qian, these apparent treasure appraisal auctions are all pretexts, and their real purpose is to promote a profitable player auction.

But... how do they promote it and let players know that there is such an auction?

After repeatedly confirming the information on the official website, there is indeed no trace.

This is strange. According to common sense, the more participants in the auction, the higher the profit.

Gao Yi himself is also a player, why has he never received any relevant invitations?

"A place where players gather and get information..."

Muttering, Gao Yi turned to the [Nankang City Player Forum] again

In the [Trading Area] that was not opened in the afternoon, there was indeed a clue.

The trading section, which seemed quite bleak before and had few items for sale, has now been "flooded" with posts in a uniform format.

Countless potions and equipment are labeled "negotiable price". The address points to the corresponding venue in Beijiang District.

It seems that the organizer knows very well where to attract players.

Since the "copy" in Nankang City has only appeared for more than three months, the market has not yet been fully formed.

Many players who want to improve themselves really can't find a suitable trading channel.

At this time, a grand auction will surely attract a lot of attention.

"Such a big fanfare, are you afraid that the Investigation Bureau will not send someone to manage it..."

Gao Yi complained in a low voice and closed the website.

The doubt of "how the organizer finds potential customers" has been solved.

The question left for Gao Yi now is how to find out more information?

If you enter the "dark" player auction and ask about the identity of the organizer, you will definitely be suspected.

If others think you are a "court hawk" and are attacked by everyone, you can't explain it clearly.

From the words of other players on the forum, Gao Yi realized that the reputation of the "Investigation Bureau" was indeed not very good.

Although the two people encountered in [Western City Strange Things] were good people, it was estimated that they were not the mainstream situation.

"So... should I start the investigation from the 'open' treasure appraisal conference?"

Gao Yi twisted the hair on his forehead and gradually formed a plan in his mind.

Since this [Super Treasure Appraisal Conference] is a cover, someone must contact experts, apply for venues, and write plans.

The people who do these things are obviously the organizers, that is, the players from Jiujiang City are looking for.

Follow the clues and follow the map, you can always find something.

Maybe....I can go to interview as a reporter?

Gao Yi finally remembered his job, made two more notes in his notebook, picked up his phone and made a call.

After a moment, a lazy male voice came from the other end of the microphone:

"Hey, you kid still remember to call to care about me, I thought you were going to fool around again."

The speaker was Gao Yi's boss, the editor-in-chief of "Nangui Magazine" - Pan Tian.

Gao Yi didn't waste time talking to him and said directly:

"Are you in the editorial department now? I have something to do and need to go there."

"Damn, otherwise, the special issue will be published tomorrow, and you won't come to help. Fortunately, a new intern was recruited this morning..."

Pan Tian's voice was a little vague, and the sound of keyboard tapping and paper flipping was all around.

The other party didn't lie, and it seemed that the editorial department was busy.

"Okay, I'll go there right away."

Gao Yi said, clamping the phone between his ear and shoulder, and had already started to change his clothes and put on shoes.

"Okay, I'll wait for you...By the way, you really should come to meet our new intern, or your little fan."

"Little... fan?"

With a bad premonition in his heart, Gao Yi hurriedly accelerated his actions.
