Chapter 158 Space Auction, Metaphysics Purchase
Chapter 158 Space Auction, Metaphysics Purchase
[Challenger Tips (All Channels): The auction of Plots 1-3 in the West Zone of Dizhong Village will start in 1 hour. Players can participate in the auction through the function panel. ]
After hearing the game prompt sound, players opened the function panel one after another.
Yang Tianxuan, the president of the Doomsday Technology Guild in Dizhong Village, also called out the function panel at this time.
I found that there was an additional "auction" function on the panel.
His consciousness touched the bidding function, and the bidding interface popped up in front of him.
In the center of the interface is the countdown number: 59 minutes and 43 seconds.
On the scrolling interface, there are introductions to three plots of land that can be auctioned.
【Dizhong Village West District-Plot 1】:
Plot area: 25 acres.
Initial bidding price: 1
【Dizhong Village West District-Plot 2】:
Plot area: 20 acres.
Initial bidding price: 1
【Dizhong Village West District-Plot 3】:
Plot area: 20 acres.
Initial bidding price: 1
……
Except for Plot No. 25 which is 20 mu, the other two plots are each mu.
In Yang Tianxuan's opinion, this area is totally insufficient, but fortunately it is written in the introduction that the land expansion function will be opened later.
His target is Plot No. 1, the largest of the three plots.
In the initial stage, 25 acres of land are enough to build a small R&D base.
To this end, he and his guild members pooled 103 million sacrificial power and vowed to take the best plot No. 1.
At this moment, the challenger prompt sounded in his mind, indicating that a player had applied for a video connection.
The consciousness touched the "connection line" and a light screen popped up in front of my eyes. The picture showed an old man with an old face and gray hair.
It was Yu Ze, the president of the Genetic Research and Development Department and the Pharmacists Guild.
As soon as the video was connected, Yu Ze couldn't wait to speak:
"Old Yang, there is no need for us to compete internally. How about giving me plot 1 and you taking plot 2?"
Hearing his old friend asking for Plot 1, Yang Tianxuan couldn't help but roll his eyes:
"Old Yu, why do you need such a large plot of land to develop medicine? We need to place all kinds of large equipment for weapons research and development, so of course you should take Plot 1. Plot 2 is more than enough for you."
Hearing this, Yu Ze in the video did not back down at all and refuted it immediately.
The two glared at each other, and it seemed as if sparks were crackling across the video screen. After a moment of silence, Yu Ze took a deep breath:
"What we want to build is a pharmaceutical research and development production line. 20 acres of land is enough in the early stage, but it will definitely not be enough in the later stage."
"The land expansion function will definitely be launched in the future, so it will be enough in the early stage." After a brief silence, Yang Tianxuan continued:
"Then you don't have to participate in the bidding for Plot 1. If I have extra sacrificial power and you don't have enough, I will give you the extra sacrificial power to take Plot 2."
Facing Yang Tianxuan's proposal, Yu Ze suddenly smiled:
"Okay, it's settled."
After hearing this, Yang Tianxuan suddenly realized that his old friend had never thought of competing with him for Plot No. 1.
The purpose of this call is to get him to give a guarantee that he will support their bidding for Plot 2 if any emergency occurs.
"Old fox!"
"It's decided. You bid for number 1 and I'll bid for number 2. We'll talk after the auction is over."
After saying this, Yu Ze took the initiative to hang up the video call.
……
As time goes by, more and more guilds sign up to participate in the auction.
After all, registration is free, and in the eyes of many guilds, the most important thing about this auction is participation, and they simply cannot compete with those large guilds in terms of financial resources.
These also include guilds formed by players from the Sky Feather, Gill Fish, Giant Mang, and Night Demon tribes.
Before the auction even started, the regional voice channel was already bustling with activity:
"Everyone, please give the Tianlang Guild a favor. We will take over this plot of land. Then you can come and hold a party. I will give you free access. Don't compete with us."
"Please give the Star Wandering Guild a favor. We don't ask for plot No. 1, we just want plot No. 3. Please be kind and let us take it. I will give everyone red envelopes in the regional chat channel later."
"Melody Concerto Guild will definitely get Plot 1. The damn officials, please quickly open a channel for exchanging cash for Sacrificial Power. I want to earn a lot of money. Please open it for me. Who has so much Sacrificial Power to bid for the plot? Why can't I use cash to participate in the auction? I don't accept it. I want to use cash."
"Why are there so many small guilds joining in the regional voice channel? Is this something you can participate in? At best, you are just joining to make up the numbers. If you really want to get a plot of land, have you asked a few big guilds? My Gambling God Hall Guild will definitely get a plot of land."
"The arms dealers started collecting money two days ago. If we really compare financial resources, no guild is richer than the arms dealers. Just look at the data from the trading house and you will know that they earn a lot of sacrifice power every day. If they didn't use the earned sacrifice power to continue investing in technology research and development, I wouldn't be surprised if all three plots of land were taken by the arms dealers."
Regarding this auction, the vast majority of players were just spectators on the sidelines.
The discussion was all about speculating which guild had the strength to take over the land.
When the countdown ends, the number in the center of the interface disappears, and a bidding bar appears on the right side of the three plots.
You can customize the bidding price above, or you can bid by adding 10% to the price with one click. The 24-hour auction duration countdown is below.
The moment the auction started, the prices of the three plots of land rose instantly.
Among them, the price of Plot No. 1 increased to points of sacrificial power in just one minute, and the highest bid came from the "Flying Bully" guild established by the Tianyu players.
During this period, the two major demonic guilds and several top human guilds did not take any action.
In the early stages of competition, small guilds were the ones doing the hard work. They all knew that they were not capable of taking over the space plots, so they took advantage of this event to gain exposure and attract more players to join the guild.
Ten minutes after the competition started.
The price of Plot 1 was raised to 2.2 li.
The price of Plot 2 was raised to 1.8 li.
The price of Plot 3 was raised to 1.3 yuan.
But the top guilds still haven't chosen to take action, and are waiting for other top guilds to come out.
They had no idea how much sacrificial power other guilds had.
During this period, many guilds that wanted to obtain plots of land also began their last-ditch efforts, trying to purchase another batch of sacrificial power while there was still time to increase their competitiveness in the auction.
Qi Sheng did not pay attention to this fierce bidding.
With real-time data, he already knew the answer in advance.
Except for Plot 3, which is still a mystery, the ownership of the first two plots has been clarified.
At this stage, the guilds with the highest ranking in terms of sacrifice reserve preparation are:
In the Doomsday Technology Guild, the president Yang Tian has a sacrificial power reserve of 103.2 million, ranking first in the sacrificial power reserve.
In the Pharmacist Guild, the president Yu Ze has 76.9 sacrificial power reserves, ranking second in sacrificial power reserves.
In the Fanzuituan Guild, the president Li Siyu has a reserve of 62.7 sacrificial power, ranking third.
It would be difficult for other guilds to gather more sacrificial power than these three guilds within 24 hours.
As for the Temple Guild led by the God King, which is recognized by players on this forum as the number one guild, it only managed to gather 59.5 sacrificial power.
Although he has the strongest overall strength, the President God King has always spent his sacrificial power whenever he had it and has never thought about hoarding it.
The same is true for the guild members he leads. With the newly launched pet function, almost every guild member has one, and all their energy has been used to improve their combat power, so they can't gather enough energy to participate in the auction.
But the Temple Guild did not give up the bidding. Through acquisition and hunting, it wanted to obtain as much land as possible before the end of the auction.
The tentative target is Plot 1.
If financial resources are insufficient, consider the other two plots.
As time went by, the number of guilds bidding at the auction began to decrease, and the price of Plot 1 rose to 6.9 sacrifice power, which was twice as much as Plot 2.
Almost all guilds focused on Plot 1 in the early stages.
There were still three hours left before the auction ended, and the Pharmacist Guild took action at this time, raising the price of Plot 3 to 2 points of sacrificial power.
This price increase was like a clarion call for a charge.
The prices of the three plots of land began to rise rapidly.
The Fanzui Guild, the Doomsday Technology Guild, the Divine Wing Guild, the Divine Hall Guild, the Murloc Alliance Guild, the Pharmacist Guild, the Tianyu First Guild...the guilds that wanted to get the land all raised their prices.
Soon, the prices of the three plots of land were raised to over 15 sacrificial power.
The price of Plot 1 was raised to 35 sacrificial power, and the highest bid was from the Temple Guild.
The price of Plot 2 was raised to 24 sacrificial power, and the highest bid was made by the Fanzuituan Guild.
The price of Plot 3 was raised to 24.8 sacrifice power, and the highest bidder was the Murloc Alliance Guild.
Among them, the Murloc Alliance is recognized as the guild with the largest number of players.
All players of the Gilled Fish and Deep Fish tribes are members of this guild.
And the reason they bid for the land is simple.
The presidents elected by the two tribes asked for guidance in advance, and after learning that the space land could be resold on the trading house, they smelled a business opportunity.
At this stage, the output of sacrificial power is small, and the price of space plots is limited by the output of sacrificial power.
But when the players' income output increases in the future, the price of space plots will definitely skyrocket.
This means that space plots are a financial product that is bound to skyrocket. Even if the land is not developed and used, it can still earn returns over time if it is stored in the hands.
To this end, the Murloc Alliance Guild launched a round of internal financing, hoping to acquire a plot of land and return the sacrificial power income according to the proportion of the initial financing after it is sold in the future.
Therefore, the starting point of the Murloc Alliance's participation in the auction is to hoard land, not for self-use.
There are many guilds that have similar ideas.
The auction entered its final half hour, and each bid was no less than 1000 points of sacrifice power.
The final result ends after the time on the interface returns to zero. The final result is:
Plot 1: Doomsday Technology Guild
Bid: 72 sacrificial power.
Plot 2: Pharmacists Guild
Bid: 68 sacrificial power.
Plot 3: Temple Guild
Bid: 66.7 sacrificial power.
The competition for Plot 3 was the most intense.
The Fanzui Group and the Shentang Guild competed until the last second.
Both guilds realized that the other guild did not have much sacrificial power, so in order to compete for the land, members went out hunting to earn sacrificial power.
In the end, the Temple Guild won the land with a slight advantage.
After the auction ended, a plot display screen appeared on the guild interface of the three major guilds.
In the initial state, there is only mud and no other buildings.
Subsequent construction requires players to go outside the Emperor's Tomb space to transport wood, stone and other resources for free construction.
Qi Sheng will not interfere in this regard.
Give players the freedom to develop.
……
Earth, Terran Federation.
Night in the city.
In the corner of the room filled with clutter, the lights on the game cabinet flickered.
In the virtual scene, Tongxin is playing a game of moving bricks.
He was wearing armor that shone with purple light, holding a weapon that emitted a cold light, and he moved carefully through the dim forest, the fallen leaves under his feet making a rustling sound.
Suddenly, a monster shaped like a giant wolf and covered with hideous scales suddenly jumped out of the bushes, making a deafening roar and rushing straight towards him.
Tong Xin reacted quickly and raised his shield without hesitation to face the monster's attack.
Shield Bash!
A green message indicating successful judgment pops up, and the monster is stunned instantly.
Tong Xin muttered something, and with the enchanted sword in his right hand, he chopped the monster's head hard.
【Weak point attack, causing 14924 points of damage.】
The moment the sword hit the wolf, brilliant rays of light were released, which wrapped around the wolf's body like flames along the point of impact, and then exploded on its body, igniting a raging fire.
[Enchanted fire element attack, causing 20324 damage. ]
After two successful attacks, the vortex on the wolf's head disappeared, and it woke up from its dizzy state, opening its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth and bit again.
Shield Bash!
The block was successful again, and the wolf fell into dizziness again.
Through skillful blocking and counterattack techniques, after three rounds of attacks, the wolf let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground.
At this moment, the wolf's body turned into crystal and dissipated, and a staff wrapped in purple light appeared on the ground.
"Fuck!"
Seeing that it was a weapon of epic quality, Tong Xin was overjoyed.
Get close to the equipment, the automatic pickup function will be turned on, and the purple equipment on the ground will automatically enter the space bag.
Tongxin called out the backpack and carefully checked the properties of the staff.
【Sky Star Staff】:
Quality: Epic
Rating: 488
Attributes: Strength +2232, Magic +23924
Equipment Special Skill: Falling Star (Cooling Time: 1 hour)
……
"Get rich, get rich."
After reading the equipment introduction, Tong Xin decisively clicked on the teleportation scroll in the inventory.
Suddenly, countless runes appeared under his feet, rising like bubbles. After a flash of white light, he returned to the player's main city: Sin City.
He shared the equipment information in the main city chat channel and shouted:
"The latest 488-level epic magic equipment. If you need it, please contact me. If you don't know the price, please don't chat with me."
Immediately, several players sent in purchase requests.
But when he saw the offer, Tong Xin chose to refuse without hesitation.
After chatting with several players in succession, Tongxin was not satisfied with the prices offered.
Soon, another player sent a private message:
Dark Master: Brother, give me a price, and I’ll take it if it’s suitable.
In response to the inquiry, Tongxin gave a psychological price:
Kindergarten Principal: Take 10 credit points.
Dark Mage: Brother, were you still alive in the last version? Go to the trading house to check the price of the equipment. Although your equipment is top-grade, the price is too high. If you don't want to sell it sincerely, forget it.
Kindergarten principal: How much do you think is appropriate?
Dark Wizard: If I hadn't failed to get the qualification for the Dark Land, I wouldn't want to play this game. Now the prices of equipment of all qualities on the market are dropping, including the unique equipment of mythical quality. I can give you 488 credit points for this level 1.8 epic quality staff of yours, which is already a higher price than the market price. It's up to you whether you are willing to give it to me or not.
Kindergarten principal: Not for sale!
Close the chat interface, open the trading function and start looking through the latest records of epic quality equipment transactions.
The result was just as the "Dark Wizard" I contacted just now said, the price fell terribly.
The price of 1.8 is indeed reasonable in comparison.
During this period, he contacted several players who made bids through private messaging, and Tong Xin was completely convinced.
He took the initiative to contact the Dark Wizard and decided to sell the top-quality staff for 1.8. If he didn't sell it now, the price would obviously continue to fall.
In response, the Dark Master also chose to agree to continue the transaction.
Summoning the remote trading mode, he dragged the staff from his backpack to the trading bar.
The other party also started the online transfer mode at this time, entered 1.8 credit points below, and clicked lock.
After the transaction boxes were locked at the same time, the two people clicked on the transaction.
After the transaction was completed, a notification of bank card payment sounded in Tongxin's ears.
After struggling for so long, I finally have a decent transaction record.
Before that, he mainly earned real income by trading materials.
Many equipments are not purchased by any players at all. They are basically broken down into materials and sold to players who want to strengthen their equipment.
I looked at the time and found that it was already 3pm.
He immediately chose to quit the game.
As the darkness faded, the game hatch slowly rose.
I took out my phone and took a look at the group chat of "Kindergarten Passion Chat Group".
The last time we chatted was 9 days ago.
There are three screenshots in the chat history, each of which shows a transfer of 20 yuan.
It made me want to cry.
"You beast, you haven't logged off for 9 days. Is this game really that fun? You even abandoned your brothers for the game."
After complaining viciously, Tong Xin walked out of the game cabin, took off his game clothes, changed his clothes, and hurried out.
I arrived downstairs of the community, took out my cell phone and hailed a taxi.
Soon, the city's intelligent brain assigned a driverless car, and the driving route of the driverless car could be seen on the software.
Enter the destination in advance and wait at the entrance of the community.
One hour later, Tongxin arrived at the destination.
This is a spiritual ore research and development base, where he has been working in four shifts recently.
I work from 5pm to 11pm every day, then work as a waiter in a bar until 3am, and then go home to play games and do some homework, working 24 hours a day.
Compared to the unstable income from games, this real job brings higher income.
But the work environment also has risks.
The ore that needs to be transported has extremely strong radiation, which will interfere with the operation of the robot, so manual handling and cutting work is required.
If the protective clothing you wear is not sealed properly, you may be exposed to strong radiation, causing cell damage or even death.
After entering the venue and passing pupil verification, he came to the locker room.
Putting on protective suit No. 323, he walked straight to the mechanical platform.
The mechanical arm on the platform automatically operated and put on a set of exoskeleton armor for him.
This equipment can help him easily carry ores heavier than himself, and can provide additional safety protection. The principle is also very simple, relying on sensors to sense human movement intentions, such as muscle electrical signals, joint angle changes, etc., automatically drive the power system to provide auxiliary force, and achieve coordination between the exoskeleton and human movements.
After putting on the protective clothing, a ray of light sweeps from the top of the head to the soles of the feet to test the tightness of the protective clothing.
When the green light came on, Tong Xin walked down the mechanical platform, pushed open the door of the locker room wearing heavy protective clothing, and walked straight to the venue marked with a skull radiation symbol.
Pass through two gates that require identity verification and arrive at the radiation area.
There are a large number of spiritual ores nurtured by energy radiation piled up here.
Technology comes from the Eclipse Clan.
Since there is very little spiritual substance on Earth, there is no basis for producing spiritual minerals.
So the creation of spiritual ore is generated by injecting energy through special radiation.
The environment here is extremely dangerous, but the benefits are very high.
After changing shifts with the worker in the same position, Tong Xin began to get busy, cutting the spiritual ore with tools and placing it on the cart behind him.
It will be sent to a huge transport vehicle at the end soon. The transport vehicle has also been treated with radiation protection isolation, and the outer layer of isolation is 0.3 meters thick.
The environmental intelligent robots here cannot function and will freeze upon entering.
Even the mobile phone was not usable.
There are a large number of high-energy particles and rays in a high-radiation environment, which will strongly interfere with the electromagnetic wave signals received and transmitted by mobile phones.
Secondly, it will also cause hardware impact.
The electronic components in mobile phones are designed based on a certain electromagnetic environment. Strong radiation can cause these components to be ionized and produce thermal effects, resulting in permanent damage to the components.
Before coming here, Tongxin heard that an accident had occurred here and employees were affected by strong radiation because they did not wear protective clothing properly.
On the way to the "Eclipse City" on the moon for rescue, his body rotted and he died.
Later, a protective clothing sealing detection device was added here, and such incidents have basically not happened again since then.
Although it is dangerous, the children are willing to work here.
The monthly income is 2.2 yuan, the working hours are not long, and the benefits are good.
No communication devices can be used here, so the workers wrapped in protective clothing have no communication during the entire working hour. The working process makes the workers feel extremely boring.
All I can do is weave various stories in my mind.
Among them was the one that successfully qualified for the Dark Land and returned to the children's group.
Then he gained huge wealth through many adventures in the game, and in a short period of time his strength surpassed that group of good brothers who loved to show off.
While working, Tongxin was able to do two things at once.
After 6 busy hours, Tongxin changed clothes and took a taxi away.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, he arrived at a bar in the city center.
When I pushed open the door, the music in the bar was deafening, the colorful lights were flashing wildly to the rhythm of the music, the crowd was twisting their bodies wildly on the dance floor, and the heat wave mixed with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol hit me in the face.
He works as a drinks salesman in a bar.
Compared to cold robots selling drinks, humans doing this job are more likely to win the favor of customers.
This is also the reason why he was able to successfully apply for the job, and his income is a commission of 17% of the total price of alcoholic beverages sold that day.
After being busy until 3 a.m., Tongxin rushed back home without stopping.
Before starting the game, he took out the pre-prepared meal from the refrigerator, heated it up and gobbled it down.
Although they are pre-prepared dishes, they taste good and are all carefully prepared by robot chefs.
Whether from a nutritional perspective or a food hygiene perspective, pre-prepared meals in this era are the best choice for ordinary people.
Return to the room.
Tong Xin went into the bathroom to wash off the smell of cigarettes and alcohol on his body, changed into a set of loose clothes, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Sitting on the bed, he took out his cell phone and looked at the balance on it in a daze.
After these busy months, after deducting living expenses, there is still 84722 yuan left.
There is still more than 4 yuan left to qualify for purchasing the Dark Land game.
He would have to endure this kind of life for another two months.
When I think back to the wonderful lives my good brothers in the group chat were leading, I feel so miserable in comparison.
Looking through the group chat, the good brothers have already gone offline, but the content of the chat dialogue is heart-wrenching.
Xiaoban - Class Monitor: If it wasn't for leveling up, earning 10,000 yuan a day would be like playing. In this game, there are far more players who spend money than players who do nothing. It's so cool.
Xiaoban - Iron Hammer: Another 20 cash came in (screenshot). I sold some sacrificial power to the God King, and used the rest to upgrade Star Veins. I don't plan to sell sacrificial power recently. It's enough to have enough cash to spend. Too much cash is meaningless. Many things from the Eclipse Clan require queuing up to buy, and you may not be able to get them even if you have money.
Xiaoban-Heiqiu: A new batch of spiritual plants in the spiritual field have matured. I sold them all to the Pharmacist Guild. I made 100,000 yuan without doing anything. The day of wealth redistribution has really come.
Xiaoban-Zuinan: When you have time, invite the principal to dinner. He hasn’t replied in the group for a long time. I’m worried that he has been killed by radiation.
Tong Xin, who was getting more and more angry the more he read, immediately typed a line of text:
Kindergarten principal: You guys deserve to die, showing screenshots of transactions again, have you ever considered my feelings?
Kindergarten principal: I advise you to stop showing off, otherwise our friendship will be ruined. I will quit the group now (Don’t force me with a knife at my neck.jpg).
The kindergarten principal: I wish I could mute everyone. Look at what you say, you are all talking nonsense. What do you mean by making 10,000 yuan a day is easy? This is only how much I earn after working so hard all day. It makes me so angry.
Kindergarten principal: I’ll say it again, you are not allowed to talk about income, otherwise I will get upset and run away!
Seeing the director’s temper explode, group members started to post emoticons admitting their mistakes.
Just when Tong Xin was about to start lashing out, group member Tiechui suddenly sent a red envelope:
Xiaoban-Iron Hammer: Principal, this money was collected by the brothers. You can grab pirated copies or genuine copies as you like. This is a little gift from the brothers (designated red envelope: 120000 yuan)
Tong Xin, who was about to start scolding, saw the red envelope and all the grievances in his heart immediately disappeared.
Kindergarten principal: What are you doing? I don’t want this money. I have hands and feet and can earn it. I can save enough money if I persist for a while.
Small class-Zui Nai: Principal, please don’t be upset. We have been brothers for so many years. Although we usually tease each other, we are really looking forward to your return. If you feel really bad about it, you can return the money you earn from the game to us in the future.
Small class - Monitor: Principal, please collect the money. The brothers are waiting for you to come back. It feels like something is missing without you. Collect the money quickly and return to the team.
Small class - cute kids: Are you touched? Tomorrow is the next round of qualifications. We will wait for you. If you can’t make it, you can continue to steal the copies. You keep the money. We brothers are all rich now and have no shortage of money.
Small class - Gulu: I’m afraid the head teacher is wiping tears now, looking at the phone with red eyes, little pearls falling down one by one, and calling him a good brother for life in his heart, hahahaha.
Small class - Marbles: Why hasn’t the head teacher collected the money yet? Does he look down on us brothers? (angrily pounding the table.jpg).
……
Seeing the messages from his brothers, Tong Xin's eyes were filled with tears.
It would be a lie to say that I am not impressed.
Although his brothers spoke harshly, he could feel their anticipation for his return.
Although it is easy for them to make money now, the money is indeed not a small amount.
Taking a deep breath, he opened the red envelope and collected the 12 yuan.
Then he tapped the phone screen with his thumb and typed the following line of words:
The kindergarten principal: Just think of it as you showing filial piety to your father. You are all good and filial children. I am very happy as a father.
Small class-Drunk milk: Dog principal, give me back my money!
Xiaoban-Black Ball: Return your money, return it quickly!
Xiaoban-Iron Hammer: Is this how you repay your brother? You turned your back on him after receiving his money?
Seeing the messages from his brothers, Tongxin laughed out loud.
Kindergarten principal: Respecting elders is a traditional virtue of our human race. I accept your kindness. Let me also ask you one more question. If I play a profession in the game, what profession do you still need?
Xiaoban - Iron Hammer: Don't worry about the profession issue, Dog Director. The professions in the game Dark Land can be changed at any time. If you have to say what profession you are missing, I suggest you choose the Gargoyle (petrification) soul at the beginning, and then go for the tank flow after the star vein slot is opened, and I will switch to melee output.
Small class - cute baby: The head teacher is going for the magic system. We are now going for the luck system. We have to roll the dice every time to determine the strength. The magic system gets a very strong amplification state. I strongly recommend you to choose Mo Yan and Ben Lei at the beginning, which are magic output souls.
Xiaoban-Heiqiu: The headmaster should just go with the stone statue style, and let the idiot Iron Hammer go and play melee damage. He has been obsessed with the champion fighter recently, and he keeps saying that melee damage is invincible. I don't want to talk to him (dislike.jpg)
After chatting for a long time, the brothers returned to the dark place one after another. Tong Xin also stood up and walked towards the game cabin.
Originally, he planned to take a break and then go into the game to do some work.
But now with the support of his brothers, he decided to cash in all the equipment and resources on the account.
Then wait for the next round of game qualifications to be issued.
If he fails to get the genuine game license this time, he decides to try again for the cracked version and won't play this game anymore.
After changing the game clothes, enter the game cabin.
After a while, you will enter the character selection interface.
In the game Sinland, each player can choose 2 characters to use.
He trained a magic system and a shield warrior.
Among them, shield warrior is his main profession.
When you enter the game, you appear in an open space in the main city. In front of you stands a gem merchant NPC who keeps making noises. Although he has been endowed with intelligent AI, he usually speaks the same lines.
Calling up the equipment bar, Tong Xin took off all the equipment on his body.
In order to speed up the sale of equipment, he chose to shout out the sale in the main city.
As for the for-sale trading house, the sales speed is too slow.
At present, the equipment in the game "Badlands" is difficult to sell, and prices are falling every day.
This also includes the game next door called "Conquest", where prices are also falling every day.
Although only a few players managed to buy the Dark Land, many players realized a problem in advance.
The era of games like Vigilante and Conquest is becoming a thing of the past.
Now is the best time to start selling. Once Dark Land fully opens up game qualifications, it will be difficult to ship the products.
It is for this reason that prices in the game have plummeted.
Except for a very small number of rare equipment that can be sold for money, many low-level equipment have no market, especially the equipment for novices.
It can even be said that there are no new players left in these two games.
The new generation in the future will also choose the dark land and will not come to these two old games to experience virtual life.
Looking back at when the two games were first launched, the main city was packed with people and it was difficult to snatch the monsters.
But with the release of Darksiders, this game has declined and is about to exit the stage of history.
The most outrageous thing is the recent selling price of a unique artifact in the Land of Sin. The transaction price was close to 100 million, and it was won by a player from the Destroyed Clan.
As a result, the latest transaction price dropped to 300 million.
Cases of equipment prices plummeting continue to increase, and the in-game economy is facing collapse.
The reason why it can be maintained now is that the qualification for Dark Land is issued too slowly, which makes many players only able to choose the two games of Sin Land and Conquest.
But many players' hearts are already in the dark place.
That includes him.
After shouting for a long time in the main city chat channel, a player finally chatted with him privately, but the price offered was quite different from Tong Xin's psychological price.
It took 3 hours to sell one piece of headwear, and it was sold at 1% off the psychological price.
Calling up the trading function and comparing the prices of each item, Tongxin modified the psychological price of each piece of equipment and made a new call.
This time the sale progressed much faster.
Weapons, breastplates, wrist guards, belts, shoes, and necklaces are all sold at 6% to 7% off their original prices.
The only thing he couldn't sell was the shield in his hand.
Shield warrior is an unpopular profession in the game. Given the current bad environment, shields have become even harder to sell.
He had no choice but to continue to lower the price, and finally successfully sold it to an alien player at a 1.32% discount, bringing in a total profit of .
This was followed by the cleanup of the warehouse.
Coming to the warehouse NPC in the main city, he took out all the inventory inside and put it on the shelves in batches at a price lower than the market price.
Every time he sells a batch, he puts another batch on the shelves.
During this process, many of the equipment reminded Tongxin of the times when he struggled with his good brothers.
When he took out one of the novice equipment and prepared to disassemble it, he couldn't help but sigh, and finally threw it back into the warehouse.
This piece of equipment is his starting point in this game, and in the future it will follow this account and sleep forever in endless darkness.
"Goodbye, brother."
After all the things in the luggage and warehouse were emptied, Tong Xin said goodbye to his shield warrior and then logged off.
I looked at the time and it was already 8:13 in the morning.
He took out his cell phone and made a call.
Soon the phone was connected, and a middle-aged man's puzzled voice was heard.
After expressing the idea of resigning, there was silence for a while before saying:
"I can help you apply for an increase in your benefits. Did something happen?"
"Nothing has happened. I just don't want to do this anymore." Tong Xin expressed his thoughts directly without any nonsense.
"Okay, I'll settle your salary in advance."
"Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Tong Xin felt relaxed all over.
Since he decided to continue buying up the Dark Land game qualifications, he had no plans to go back to work.
If he can't get the genuine version, he will get the pirated version. He wants to spend all his time trying to get the game qualification and re-enter the "cultivation" mode.
The probability of being able to grab the genuine game qualification tomorrow is very small, so he has to prepare in advance to stay up late.
He opened the shopping app and started placing an order.
Functional drinks, coffee, tea, chocolate, snack packs...stock up on supplies in advance and be prepared for the upcoming moment of cultivation.
This time, he went all out.
If you can’t get the qualification, just keep trying.
Either the qualifications are obtained, or the soul leaves the body, one of the two must happen.
……
11.30pm the next day.
Tong Xin took three incense sticks and walked to the balcony, then took out a lighter.
pat!
The jumping flames greedily licked the incense tip, and instantly wisps of green smoke rose up, carrying wisps of sandalwood fragrance, winding and circling in the night sky.
Putting the lighter into his trouser pocket, he held three incense sticks in both hands and raised them to his chest.
"Gods and Buddhas above, today I will step onto the crossroads of life, I hope you will protect me, keep me safe, and help me succeed."
After saying that, Tong Xin bent his knees and knelt heavily on the ground with a dull sound.
Straighten your back, lean forward, and bow deeply toward the sky.
Once, twice, three times, after three kowtows, he raised three sticks of incense above his head, looked up at the sky and said solemnly:
"Ancestors, I have a favor to ask of you. The Dark Land is about to release the next round of qualification purchases. I hope your spirits in heaven can protect me and help me successfully get the game qualification... I will definitely treat you to a big meal during the Qingming Festival. Remember to ask in your dreams in advance what you want to eat."
He kowtowed three more times, then inserted three incense sticks into the flowerpot on the balcony and turned back to the room.
The floor of the room was filled with white candles, forming a symmetrical structure.
This is the structure of a fortune-changing array that he saw on the Internet. It is said that it can bring good luck if the steps are followed.
When I saw such remarks before, I would have sneered at them.
What kind of bullshit luck-changing ritual is this? It's a different era now. Anyone who believes in this is an idiot.
But things are different now.
He doesn't want to miss even the slightest possibility.
Regardless of whether metaphysics is effective or not, just use it first.
Gods and Buddhas, luck-changing rituals, blessings from ancestors…try them all, what if they work?
After all the candles were lit, Tong Xin stepped over the candles, sat in the center of the formation, muttered something, and occasionally glanced at the excerpted prayer text on his mobile phone.
After finishing his lines, Tong Xin closed his eyes and meditated on the external force entering his body.
An important process in this luck-changing ritual is to imagine absorbing good fortune from the outside world to bless oneself.
After the process is over, Tongxin puts his hands together:
"Brother Xingwang, please bless me. If I can qualify this time, you will be my big brother from now on."
Then Tong Xin blew out the candle, wrapped it in paper respectfully and placed it at the bedside.
Before competing for the qualification, he took a shower, changed his clothes to wash away the bad luck on his body, put on a new set of clothes and sat down in front of the computer desk.
He has used all the necessary methods, and now it all depends on luck.
Click the shortcut icon on the desktop and the official version of Dark Land will pop up.
In the center of the webpage are the jumping countdown numbers.
[Due to Dark Land game qualification issuance: 14 minutes and 49 seconds, number of qualifications issued this time: 1000000]
Watching the countdown numbers jump, Tongxin felt anxious.
When there were only five minutes left, he got up and went to the living room, took three incense sticks, lit them, and returned to the room to insert them next to the computer desk.
Metaphysics protects the body and is applicable to all ages.
As time passed, Tong Xin became more and more anxious.
When there were 10 seconds left, the left mouse button started to be clicked frantically.
"Ancestors, bless me, give me a hand!"
The countdown reached zero, and Tongxin roared in his heart:
"Grab it for me, ahhhh!"
At this moment, a prompt popped up on the Dark Land official website:
[Congratulations, your ID number is SS2232142X. You have successfully purchased and are eligible to play Dark Land. Do you want to pay for authentication and activation? ]
"Hahahaha!"
At this moment, Tong Xin smiled extremely arrogantly.
He stood up, put his right foot on the chair, put one hand on his waist, and pointed his right hand at the computer screen:
"Get it!"
The arrogant expression is just as if "I am the best in the world" is written on his face.
He then sent a screenshot of the webpage to the kindergarten's passionate chat group:
