Install the hologram cabin

The second day after the Guild Establishment Order post was published.

Lily said she had something to do in real life, so didn't go online. Leo, who finally had a day off, naturally didn't go online either. He lay on the sofa in his luxurious house, watching TV with a contented expression.

After reaching level 30, Lily's experience points had been increasing slowly. Leo didn't know if she was slacking off or not.

However, it was none of his business. All he had to do was protect Lily from losing her level, and he didn't need to worry about anything else.

Just as Leo was about to enjoy his day off and go out for a meal, his phone rang.

"Hello? Who is this?" Leo answered the call.

"Hello, is this Mr. Leo?" A man's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Yes, it's me. What's up?"

The man on the phone politely said, "Oh, I see. I am the manager of the luxury TE-2000 hologram cabin you ordered from our shop. The salesperson who was in charge of your order has left the company, and the machine you ordered has arrived today. So, I am here to discuss the installation with you. Can we arrange for someone to come to your place and install it today?"

"Oh, that's fine," Leo thought for a moment, "I'm home today, so you can just come directly."

The man replied, "Alright, I will arrange for someone to come right away. If you have any questions after the installation, you can call this number. Our after-sales service won't disappoint you."

"Okay, thank you." Leo agreed and hung up the phone.

About two hours later, the delivery staff arrived with the machine. Leo led them into the study and watched them install the machine.

"Thank you for your hard work," Leo handed them cigarettes and asked, "Can I use the machine now?"

"Thanks," an older staff member took the cigarette and said, "You can use it, but your internet speed here is not ideal."

"What do you mean?" Leo asked.

"You haven't used a holographic device in this house before, right?" The staff member said, "This house is nice and luxurious, but the internet is too old. It's still using the network from seven or eight years ago. You bought the TE-2000 to play 'Dragon Abyss Online,' right? If you use your current network to download the game, it will take several days, and even if it finishes, you might not be able to enter the game."

Leo knew that according to the game agreement, if the network stability or speed didn't meet certain requirements, they wouldn't be able to log into the game.

"What should I do then?" Leo asked helplessly, "I can't go to the internet cafe every day, can I? What's the point of buying this machine if it's just for decoration?"

The staff member laughed, "It's not that complicated. You just need to call the network company and have them install a new wireless router for you. Then, the TE-2000 can connect directly to the high-speed wireless network, and it will be very fast."

"Thank you so much. I'll contact the network company right away," Leo said.

...

"What? You can't install it until two days later?" Leo, while on the phone, looked up and thought that two days later was the day of the Guild Establishment Order auction.

No, that was too tight. He wouldn't be able to participate in the auction.

"Can you come earlier? I can pay extra," Leo asked.

The person on the other side said, "I'm sorry, sir, but our company's installation schedule is fixed. Since you ordered the most expensive internet package, you already have VIP service, and we can't install it any earlier. You'll have to wait for two more days."

"How long will the installation take? Can you come earlier?" Leo asked helplessly.

"We will arrive at your residence at 1 p.m., and the installation should take about half an hour," the customer service representative told Leo.

Leo thought for a moment. The auction was at 2 p.m., so if the internet was installed by 1:30 p.m., he would have enough time to download the game.

"Alright, don't be late, or I'll complain," Leo said and hung up the phone.

...

For the next two days, Leo didn't go online because he didn't want to go to the internet cafe again. He sent a message to Lily through the game-linked app on his phone, asking her not to go online either.

Coincidentally, Lily was also busy for the next two days and would only have time to play on the day of the auction.

Now, Leo was not worried at all. It wasn't good to be immersed in the game world all the time. He needed to take a break in real life.

However, during these two days when Leo was absent, a large number of players flooded into the newbie village. Many people had never appeared in the newbie village before, which made Goldman and the auction house staff suspicious.

To ensure safety, Goldman instructed her subordinates in the auction house, "There are many suspicious people appearing in the newbie village now. You need to be on guard. Although they wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the auction house, be careful when you go out. For the next two days before the auction, don't wander around. Stay in the auction house when you're online... Just wait until the auction is over."

Various forces were allying and plotting, and all the major guilds that could be presented were considering their own interests. Everyone's attention was focused on the upcoming auction.

Even many independent players who didn't belong to any guilds started to pay attention to the event, hoping to gain some benefits from it.

...

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

On that day, Leo watched the auction house's live broadcast on his TV. Although he couldn't log into the game yet, he could still watch the live broadcast through his TV.

He had also informed Goldman about his temporary inability to go online, saying he would only be able to join after the auction started. Goldman replied not to worry, as the auction house's NPCs were all above level 50, and no player would dare to cause trouble there.

At 1 p.m., the network installation staff Leo contacted arrived at his house to install the latest wireless router.

Meanwhile, Goldman's auction house was already packed with people.
