Only Tang Ya, Ning Tian, Jiang Nannan, and Xiao Xiao came this time.
As a formal member, Ma Xiaotao was also in the meeting room discussing strategies for the upcoming competition, so she naturally couldn't leave.
Although with these official members, Shrek's chances of winning the championship are very high, they still need to respect their opponents as much as possible in terms of tactics.
Xiao Xiao sat down next to him, then touched his lips a few times, shyly turned her head away, and said...
" Brother Yu, you'd better be more obedient next time."
Cao Yu smiled and nodded, then saw Jiang Nannan slowly get up.
She sat directly opposite Cao Yu, propped herself up on the table, then bent over and fell down.
She tilted her head slightly, missing each other's noses, and her slender, beautiful hand landed on his cheek.
When they parted, Jiang Nannan didn't say much, but simply gazed affectionately at Cao Yu.
She sat back down in her comfortable chair, and in no time, it was noticed that her feet had moved out of place and were under the table between them, unnoticed by Tang Ya and the others.
Hiss! It's that familiar... white stockings.
"No wonder Jiang Nannan always likes to sit opposite me, so that's what she likes."
But... I like it.
Cao Yu chuckled, his eyes fixed on Jiang Nannan. She was still looking at him as if nothing had happened, as if she wasn't the brave climber at all.
Four or five days later.
Shrek Academy also completed its next four matches, in which they did not encounter any opponents who could pose a threat, and won all the way.
Through two singles elimination matches and one team battle, they defeated their opponents in succession and finally secured first place in the group with a perfect record of seven wins.
They successfully fought their way to the brutal elimination rounds.
The opponent for tomorrow's match has also been determined.
"Our opponent in the round of 16 is an old rival: the number one academy of the Dou Ling Empire, the Dou Ling Royal Academy."
"As one of the top four teams in the previous year, Dou Ling Royal Academy only has five Soul King and two Soul Ancestor among their current roster members. They are not too much of a threat to Ma Xiaotao and your team."
After a pause, Wang Yan continued, "The only variable is that each of their team members used Soul Tool, and at least two of them are true Soul Engineer."
"Therefore, you all need to be careful and try to end the battle as quickly as possible to avoid any unforeseen circumstances."
"Okay, Teacher Wang!"
Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao and the others naturally nodded in agreement. After all, Soul Tool are developing so rapidly now, who knows if a powerful Soul Tool might suddenly appear.
A short while later, someone came to the conference room door and knocked.
When Cao Yu opened the door, he saw a woman in a long black dress standing outside, and her majestic breasts looked very familiar.
Cao Yu recognized her at a glance; it was Qing Ya, the auctioneer from the auction house.
Qing Ya naturally recognized Cao Yu as well, after all, he was a famous figure in the Star Luo Empire, known to everyone!
Moreover, he had recently bought all the items in the last auction.
This is a true VIP!
Qing Ya looked at Cao Yu with eager eyes, a sweet smile on her face, and bowed, saying, " Young Master Cao, hello! I'm sorry to bother you."
"I'm here to inform Young Master Cao and everyone that our Starlight Auction House will be holding a top-tier auction tonight."
Cao Yu suddenly laughed and asked, "How top-tier is it? Tell me, and I'll definitely bring extra money to support you."
Finally, I can make a lot of money!
Cao Yu's mind started to race. He planned to take all the revenue from the restaurants and research institutes and try to pull off a big heist tonight.
Seeing Cao Yu's hearty and generous expression, Qing Ya smiled even more happily.
"Auctions of this caliber usually only happen once or twice a year, and we only invite the most distinguished guests. That's why our auction house owner asked me to distribute the invitations."
Then she took out a stack of exquisitely crafted invitations with gold lettering and placed them in Cao Yu's hands.
Cao Yu counted them carefully; there were a total of sixteen, including the official team members, the reserve team, as well as Wang Yan and Xuan Zi.
"Wow, you guys did a really meticulous job! Don't worry, I'll definitely be there tonight."
"Thank you very much, Young Master Cao." Qing Ya smiled slightly at Cao Yu and left without lingering after handing over the task.
After closing the conference room door, Cao Yu turned to Wang Yan and said...
" Teacher Wang, are you going out tonight? If there's anything you like, I can buy it for you."
Wang Yan seemed somewhat troubled, and said hesitantly, "I'll pay for the auction items myself. Otherwise, you'll always be at a disadvantage, and I'll feel bad about it."
However, Wang Dong, standing to the side, smiled and advised, " Teacher Wang, why are you so worried about him? He owns hundreds of restaurants in Star Luo City, and he even sells Soul Tool to the current Emperor of the Star Luo Empire. He has plenty of money."
Cao Yu laughed heartily and said cheerfully, "That's right, I have more money than I can spend, Teacher Wang, you don't need to worry about it."
Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but tease, "Junior Wang Dong, I didn't expect you to know Little Yu better than we do."
"No, we just live in the same dorm. You'll understand once you spend more time together." Wang Dong blushed slightly and explained shyly.
In order to raise funds, Cao Yu had his steward, Uncle Li, count and collect all the working capital of the shops in one afternoon.
Adding in the income generated by the research institute during this period, as well as the money it already had, the total comes to approximately three billion.
That evening, Cao Yu led his entourage back to the auction house in grand style.
Unexpectedly, Qing Ya was waiting for them at the door.
Seeing the group approaching, Qing Ya greeted them with a joyful expression, "Welcome, Young Master Cao, and all distinguished guests."
"Everyone, please follow Qing Ya."
Afterwards, Qing Ya led everyone to the end of the road, where they talked with two girls in long golden dresses.
One of the girls activated a button on the wall, and Cao Yu and the others followed Qing Ya into a luxurious room.
Qing Ya explained softly, "This is Auction Hall No. 1, where we hold our top-tier auction. Only the most distinguished guests are invited here to participate in the bidding."
In the blink of an eye, the walls inside transformed into a giant screen.
"This is a light-guiding screen that our auction house specially commissioned from the Sun Moon Empire. It can transmit images through a special method."
"Its Core Array is not activated by Soul Power, but comes from a type of ore from the Sun Moon Empire."
Everyone is very curious about this technology.
Cao Yu carefully observed the optical guide screen in front of him, and soon different auction items appeared on the screen.
The center is presented as an auction stage, with the image quality somewhat similar to a high-definition mobile phone screen, showing a live auction.
Look! Isn't that Jiujiu?
"I never expected that she would be the one presiding over the auction."
The auction had already begun, and Tang Ya and the others Jiujiu spotted Tang Ya standing on the auction stage. Those who knew her couldn't help but smile happily, because Jiujiu was dressed so beautifully today that it was hard to look away.
