Welcome to the World of the Strong [Unlimited Flow] 81

Chapter 81: Transit Island

Of course, Jiang Yu knew what Shi Jun was referring to.

In fact, she didn’t have a very noble sentiment. Jiang Yu was very clear about this.

She could save an NPC because she wanted to in her heart, but she would also turn a blind eye to the danger that other players in the same instance encountered because her own strength was not enough and she didn’t want to get into trouble.

Jiang Yu knew that her position was very vague at times.

But…

Zhong Yu was definitely different. She was not a stranger.

So, Jiang Yu would still stick to her bottom line.

She didn’t answer, pretending that she didn’t understand.

Shi Jun was not in a hurry and didn’t care. After all, this matter was not urgent.

She was driving the car, driving on the Transit Island.

In order to avoid the silent awkwardness at this moment, Jiang Yu found a topic and asked, “Where are we going now?”

Shi Jun answered, “The auction house.”

Jiang Yu was a little surprised and her eyes widened. “In the World of Strength… there are also auctions?”

Shi Jun smiled. “Why not? There are already shopping malls. Why can’t there be an auction house?”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu didn’t continue this topic. “Do you have anything you want to auction?”

Shi Jun hummed in agreement and didn’t deny it. Jiang Yu didn’t continue to ask.

She sized up the surrounding situation, looking at the places she had never been to before.

In fact, it wasn’t quite right to say that Wang Meng and the other top ten players lived in the center of the Transit Island.

At least Wang Meng’s geographical location was in the middle, but the other organizations were gradually approaching one side of the Transit Island with Wang Meng as a measure.

It was equivalent to the east side of the Transit Island being the residential area for players.

And the west side was all kinds of facilities.

For example, the shopping mall, casino, hospital, and so on that Jiang Yu had been to last time.

Then it should also include the auction house this time.

According to Jiang Yu’s level and strength, she would probably only be able to set foot in these places after she reached S or A rank, so this place was unfamiliar to her.

However, Jiang Yu was not very scared. She was just here to help and act as a vase.

Soon, Jiang Yu saw Shi Jun park the car in a very grand-looking venue, and then she said, “We’re here.”

Jiang Yu nodded slightly and unbuckled her seatbelt.

Shi Jun got out of the car first, and then walked to the front of the passenger seat and helped Jiang Yu open the car door.

Jiang Yu looked up and saw Shi Jun’s hand in front of her.

She pursed her lips, knowing that her identity was probably to play the role of a female companion, so she didn’t refuse and placed her hand on Shi Jun’s.

A smile was on Shi Jun’s lips. She pulled Jiang Yu up, and then she said, “Hold my arm.”

“…”

Jiang Yu did as she was told without a word.

The two of them walked inside together.

There were two people standing outside the main entrance checking identities. When they saw Shi Jun bring Jiang Yu over, a hint of surprise flashed across their faces, and then they respectfully came up to greet them.

Jiang Yu watched them respectfully invite Shi Jun in, and they didn’t even check if she had been invited.

This was… the status brought by strength?

“Shi Jun.”

Just as the two of them were about to go in, someone from behind called out to them.

Jiang Yu’s brow twitched slightly.

Because this person’s voice was very familiar to her.

When she looked back, as expected, it was Xiao Man.

The other party’s appearance at this moment was no different from when she was in the instance. It was just that she had changed into a black high-end dress, and she looked over with a smile.

Jiang Yu’s gaze swept past Xiao Man’s face without a trace, and then she lowered her gaze, letting herself be a quiet vase.

Shi Jun looked up and glanced at her, and then she smiled. “It seems that you’ve successfully passed your rank-maintaining instance.”

Xiao Man nodded, not avoiding it at all. “Yes, I barely managed to keep my position as the eternal second.”

Shi Jun sneered.

Xiao Man said, “I really don’t know what kind of monster you are, to be able to be ranked first for so long. I’ve never seen your level drop. Did you secretly crack the system of the World of Strength?”

Shi Jun raised an eyebrow. “If I could really crack the system, would I still be here?”

According to Shi Jun’s personality, she would have long since turned the World of Strength upside down.

Xiao Man smiled and didn’t continue to ask. Instead, she turned her gaze to Jiang Yu.

Although Jiang Yu was much more beautiful at this moment, Xiao Man still recognized her at a glance.

This person… wasn’t she the one who was with Zhong Yu at that time?

Speaking of Zhong Yu, why was she with Shi Jun today, and not Zhong Yu?

Xiao Man narrowed her eyes slightly, deep in thought.

“This person next to you looks very familiar.”

Xiao Man didn’t hide it and asked directly.

Shi Jun raised an eyebrow slightly.

Of course she knew the reason, but she had to act.

Jiang Yu said softly, “We met once in the instance before, but at that time, I didn’t know… you were a top player.” She told a light lie.

Hearing Jiang Yu’s words, Shi Jun glanced at her.

Then she asked Xiao Man, “Why did you suddenly go to a low-level instance? To be able to meet Jiang Yu in the previous instance, that level can’t be high.”

Xiao Man smiled slightly. “Isn’t it related to your recent actions? A few days ago, you kept going to low-level instances. Although you only went in two or three times and then rested, but these abnormal reactions are still quite eye-catching, aren’t they? I also have to go and see what happened in the low-level instances. In case there are really any changes in the future, and I’m caught off guard.”

Shi Jun said leisurely, “I was just going to play. Nothing will happen.”

But Xiao Man just smiled and didn’t say anything.

Shi Jun: “Let’s go. Let’s go in.”

Jiang Yu followed Shi Jun in. Thinking that Shi Jun probably didn’t know the reason, she simply explained what had happened when she had met Xiao Man, and also said that the reason she knew her was thanks to Zhong Yu’s introduction.

At this moment, Zhong Yu herself, Shi Jun, who had taken off her vest, had a calm expression, and nodded slightly without any exposure. “I see.”

In the audience seats of the auction house, there were ten very luxurious seats in the front row…

Or rather, they were more like thrones, in an eight-character shape, one step back in turn, leaving only the most conspicuous and most noble chair at the very front.

At a glance, one could tell that this was Shi Jun’s seat.

When Shi Jun led Jiang Yu over, some of the people who had already taken their seats had their gazes on them, with obvious surprise. Jiang Yu even heard some people whispering.

Shi Jun’s expression didn’t change at all. She just said to the person who was following them, who had a role similar to a waiter, “Bring another chair next to me.”

After the person heard this, he immediately turned and went.

Jiang Yu lowered her gaze and followed Shi Jun. Soon, someone brought over a smaller, less eye-catching, but not simple chair, and placed it a little behind Shi Jun’s seat.

Shi Jun looked down and glanced, and then she reached out and moved Jiang Yu’s chair forward, parallel to her own.

“Sit.”

Jiang Yu sat down.

She was a little at a loss with the situation and atmosphere here. She subconsciously wanted to take out the set she used to deal with relatives during the New Year, and take out her phone when she had nothing to say, but she also felt that she shouldn’t take out her phone on such an occasion, so she paused and endured it, observing the situation outside.

Soon, people came in one after another, and Jiang Yu saw them sitting in the top ten seats.

She glanced back slightly, and had a rough idea in her heart.

Were the people who had come to this auction only S-rank?

Because Jiang Yu saw that there were not many people sitting in the venue. If it also included A-rank, then there shouldn’t be so few…?

Among them, there were also people who came over to greet Shi Jun, but the ones who dared to talk to her were all in the top ten.

It was probably that the ranking of the top ten rarely changed, and they had probably met many times in the instance, so they were quite familiar with each other.

Shi Jun’s expression didn’t change much. On the contrary, she even had the mood to turn her head and ask Jiang Yu, “Are you thirsty? Are you hungry?”

“…”

Jiang Yu had a very subtle feeling that she was a favored concubine at this moment.

In short, she was very much a vase.

She shook her head. Even if she was hungry, she didn’t dare to eat now.

Shi Jun looked at her and smiled faintly. “Don’t worry too much. If you really want to eat something, just tell me.”

Jiang Yu said, “It’s okay.”

She would eat after it was over.

At this moment, there was still some time before the auction began. Shi Jun asked, “Have you decided what to do with your points?”

Jiang Yu nodded. “I want to exchange for a talent bloodline.”

Although this would almost cost all her points, and although her current points should only be able to buy the lowest-level talent bloodline, Jiang Yu had still made this decision.

First of all, if she blindly strengthened her physical strength, it would not be of much use to Jiang Yu anymore.

According to her analysis, the instances above B-rank were already very different from the previous instances.

Like the werewolf instance back then, Jiang Yu might still be able to clear it by relying on her physical fitness and fighting the werewolves head-on.

But in the birthday banquet instance, physical strength alone was useless.

Jiang Yu also had to consider this aspect.

So, she decided to temporarily put aside the item of strengthening her physical fitness. However, for the newly opened columns like drug resistance, she still had to click on them a little.

And then there were the items.

Logically, for a newcomer, buying items was the best choice, but there were too many and too miscellaneous items in the store. In a situation where she didn’t know what the next instance was, Jiang Yu couldn’t choose the so-called “panacea” very well.

For now, the talent bloodline was a sharp weapon.

Besides, after choosing a talent bloodline, it would also have a side effect on her physical fitness.

Shi Jun nodded slightly, not surprised. “Have you decided which one to choose?”

Jiang Yu hadn’t chosen yet.

Shi Jun said, “First of all, you can roughly divide them into several major categories, for example, attack type, healing type, pure support type, search and exploration type, logistics type, and so on. What do you want to choose in your heart?”

Jiang Yu was silent for a moment. “Attack type.”

In fact, she preferred team cooperation and support-type talent bloodlines, but now she… couldn’t find a team with the same strength and level, so she couldn’t choose support.

In the environment she was in, her companions were all of a higher level than her. Jiang Yu didn’t want to just lie down and clear the instance.

As for Lin Hui and Li Nanmeng, if Jiang Yu looked for them, it would be a trouble for them.

As for strangers… Jiang Yu had never considered this option.

She didn’t trust them yet.

Instead of partnering with a stranger to clear an instance, giving them trust while also being on guard against whether the other party was a bad person, it was better to just go into the instance on her own from the beginning.

Shi Jun chuckled softly. “Then do you have a favorite? Within your points.”

“I haven’t chosen yet.”

Jiang Yu had a bit of a hard time making choices.

Shi Jun smiled slightly. “Then I have a recommendation for you.”
