353: Restricted area

“Pleasant transaction, gentlemen.”

At nine o’clock in the evening, Xiao Yun walked out of the private room at Golden Rooster Museum.

In just a few hours, he could be said to have reaped a considerable harvest.

Although he didn't participate in the Golden Rooster Museum's auction, the big red supplies in his safety box had all been converted into their due value.

Two barrels of rocket fuel, one carbon fiber board, and one satellite dish—four red-quality supplies were traded to Vanderbilt, yielding a total of 650 million dragon country currency.

While the rocket fuel accounted for the majority, Vanderbilt was generous with the prices for the other two items, giving top dollar; even if they were auctioned, they might not have reached these prices.

Besides that, the other two bosses didn't disclose their industries, only saying they were interested in collecting artifacts.

So Xiao Yun also took out a pile of golden gazelle, infantry fighting vehicle models, and even a bunch of little red items like fossil gold bars.

He originally thought the two would be tired of these collectibles, as true wealthy individuals would not lack purchasing channels for such items.

However, to his surprise, both of them became more excited than the other upon seeing these red-quality collectibles, scrambling to bid and buy them.

Fortunately, Xiao Yun had at least two of almost every type of collectible, which prevented them from arguing.

And a pile of red-quality artifact collectibles also earned Xiao Yun another 100 million, bringing his total earnings tonight, including the previous transaction with Vanderbilt, to 750 million dragon country currency.

Xiao Yun himself was shocked by this speed of earning money.

He had never imagined that dragon country currency was even easier to earn than haifu coin in the previous life's game!

However, this was also thanks to the system's contribution and Lu Xueqing's mysterious luck buff.

Otherwise, finding africa heart in less than half a month, in the game of his previous life, wouldn't have been that easy even with guidance from an immortal!

“Pleasant cooperation. We hope Mr. Xiao Yun will prioritize contacting us if he intends to sell big red items in the future.”

“No problem.”

After Vanderbilt's introduction, Xiao Yun learned that the two individuals next to him were not actually corporate executives.

However, their nature was similar; both were designated heirs of large conglomerates, but their elders were still in charge, and it wasn't their turn yet.

Therefore, they found these red-quality restricted area collectibles so novel because they had only just managed to reach their current positions.

“Alas, although it was pleasant, tonight’s transaction took a long time, and the restaurant I booked earlier has already closed,” William said lightly as he walked out of Golden Rooster Museum.

“However, we will be active in Long Nation for some time, Mr. Xiao Yun. Let's meet again when we have time.”

“Exactly, exactly. Since it’s late, we’ll go and make the payment quickly to complete the transaction. Let’s meet another day.”

Saying that, both of them handed Xiao Yun their business cards.

These two future heirs of the conglomerate were named Leonardo and William, respectively. Both names sounded very familiar, as many famous people have borne them.

And given their identities, it was hard to say whether they had any connection to those celebrities.

But Xiao Yun wasn't concerned with that now; he was only looking forward to tomorrow's assessment. Which restricted area would George choose?

Based on their previous conversation, Xiao Yun also learned from George about GTI's internal classification of restricted areas.

Restricted areas around the world were divided into three main categories: Public Level, Restricted Level, and Special Level.

Public Level restricted areas, like the normal difficulty Dam No. 0 and Longbow Creek Valley, could be freely entered by anyone who registered as a GTI agent. However, the registration requirements for GTI varied by country; some countries allowed entry at Level 12, while Long Nation, to ensure the psychological health of minors, required individuals to be at least 18 years old.

There wasn't much to say about this level of restricted area; they accounted for about 98% of the world's restricted areas and were the only choice for most people running missions.

Restricted Level restricted areas, on the other hand, had specific regulations and required certain conditions to be met for entry.

Within this category, there were nine levels, from one to nine, with smaller numbers indicating higher restriction levels.

Restricted areas from Level Seven to Nine were called Low-Level Restricted Areas. Generally, they were not completely restricted to ordinary people, but only allowed entry during specific time slots with special regulations.

For example, Bakshesh Restricted Area in Longjiang City belonged to an Eight-Level Restricted Area, requiring the purchase of special real estate to enter during the VIP time slot at night.

This was a relatively special type among low-level restricted areas, as it was specifically regulated for experiments and to facilitate mission completion.

Most low-restriction restricted areas were restricted primarily for safety reasons. For example, some restricted areas suspended over a lake could only be opened when the lake froze in winter, and some restricted areas located near active volcanic zones were only opened during safe periods.

Restricted areas from Level Four to Six were Mid-Level Restricted Areas.

For example, the Great Wall Restricted Area that Xiao Yun entered today was a Level Six restricted area, requiring a GTI rank of Diamond Level or higher and advance reservation to enter.

Subsequent Level Five restricted areas required a rank of Black Hawk or higher and queuing.

And higher-level Level Four restricted areas required GTI Professional level. This level of restricted area generally did not require queuing because there were only so many professional teams. Sometimes, in these restricted areas, there were more restricted areas than people, and there were even
