To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 1330 Showing people in the game

After the camera cut, Ding Xiyao had already arrived at the foyer of this house.

Before asking customers to see the house, the player as an intermediary can inspect the house first, so that he knows what he knows.

At the beginning of the game, there is no time limit for inspecting houses, and there will be some hints in the game, so that players who lack knowledge in this area can also understand the advantages and disadvantages of this house type.

As the game progresses, there will be a time limit for the house inspection stage, and there will be fewer hints, which is equivalent to increasing the difficulty for the player.

Even players can choose to challenge themselves, do not carry out this link at all, and receive customers at the house for the first time. There is no preparation in advance, and they all rely on on-the-spot performance.

The higher the difficulty, the richer the rewards.

Ding Xiyao used to be a real estate agency, and her professional knowledge reserve in this area is much richer than that of ordinary players. However, the content of this game is still relatively unfamiliar to her, so she decided to follow the standard process first.

If you can quickly adapt to the gameplay of the game, you can try to increase the difficulty.

According to the most basic moving method that has been contacted before, Ding Xiyao turned around each room.

It can only be said that the situation is a little worse than imagined.

There were floor plans and photos of these room types on the computer in the store before, but it was only when I arrived at the scene that I realized that the photos may often be "fraudulent photos", which is completely unbelievable.

It was obviously noon when the photo was taken, the sun was shining brightly, and the whole room was bathed in warm sunlight. As long as you slightly adjust the light and find a good angle, the photos you take are very confusing.

But now it happened to be a cloudy day outside, and the light was not that strong, so the impression of the whole room suddenly dropped several notches.

In addition, many details are naturally exposed.

For example, there are traces of nails and double-sided tape on the walls, most of which were left by the previous tenant; the stove and cabinets in the kitchen are full of old oil stains; the window of a second bedroom does not seem to be closed tightly. There must be a leak, and so on.

The details that will not be shown in these photos will be exposed during the on-site viewing process.

However, whether customers can see these problems specifically varies from person to person.

After Ding Xiyao raised his hand and pointed to some areas with the handle, there would be a certain probability that an icon that could be prompted would appear. At this time, the number of reminders could be consumed to obtain an official reminder.

For example, in the kitchen, some tenants who are keen on cooking in the kitchen and have high requirements for sanitary conditions will have greater opinions on these old oil stains, while tenants who don’t use the kitchen at all may not come in and pay attention to it. Look.

But this function is not omnipotent. Just like the clue-finding gameplay in many detective games or room escape games, if the player does not realize that there may be a problem here, and does not use the handle to point to the key area, there will be no prompts. .

Of course, some extreme players can use the handle to point to all the rooms, if it is not too tiring.

After being aware of these problems, in order to better facilitate the transaction, the intermediary can choose to solve these problems, or they can choose to ignore them.

The solution is to pay out of your own pocket, take out part of the money from your own funds, please clean or repair the furniture, and fundamentally improve this problem.

If you choose to ignore it, it may be dismantled by the tenant who came to see the house on the spot, resulting in the failure to conclude the transaction, or it may not be discovered.

Of course, there are remedies for being exposed on the spot. You can try to fool you, or you can solve it by reducing the rent.

In this regard, the protagonist in the game has much greater authority than the intermediary in reality.

After all, in the setting, the identity of the protagonist is not a worker, but a dual identity of boss and employee at the same time, and is responsible for his own profits and losses.

Ding Xiyao quickly looked at the house inside and out, and found several key problems.

After all, this is her old job, and she is completely familiar with the road, and does not need too many system prompts.

She even had some whimsical ideas.

Ding Xiyao first turned on all the lights in the room, and then roughly felt the brightness in the room.

Then she looked up and pointed the handle at the light bulb in the living room.

Sure enough, the light bulb became highlighted, and an interface popped up, which meant that the light bulb could be replaced!

After a simple selection, Ding Xiyao chose a relatively cheap but very bright chandelier, and it was easy to replace it after selection.

In fact, not only the lights, but all the furniture and appliances in the room can be replaced. The problem is that sofas, TVs, and wallpapers are too expensive. Ding Xiyao doesn't have much money to afford replacements.

This is a little routine that Ding Xiyao learned when she was an intermediary before: If the room itself is not well lit, the lighting is not enough, or the ventilation is not smooth and there is a peculiar smell, then the customer should turn on all the lights and open the windows in advance before coming to see the house loose smell.

In this way, the tenant will ignore the problem of poor lighting and ventilation to a certain extent. Even if they find out, it will be after signing the contract.

At that time, even if most tenants are a little dissatisfied, the contract has already been signed and there is nothing they can do, so they can only make do with it.

Ding Xiyao is not sure whether the game is so smart, and whether increasing the lighting will increase the probability of customers' transactions, but it is worth a try.

After all, isn't this kind of business simulation game with a high degree of freedom all about showy operations and freedom?
Specifically, in this house, since the original lights were rather dim, even if they were turned on, there was no substantial improvement, so Ding Xiyao paid for the living room lights to increase the brightness as high as possible.

There is no good solution to the problem of the kitchen. It is impossible to ask for cleaning, but there is also a "do it yourself" option in the game.

Holding the handle and gesticulating on the oily place is equivalent to wiping it with your own hands. Although some old stubborn stains are difficult to remove completely, it looks much better than the beginning.

Of course, not all problems can be solved by yourself, and some problems must be spent a lot of money to improve.

In this way, Ding Xiyao simply dealt with all the places in the room that could be dealt with within the scope of funds, and tried to understand some defects in the room.

Then, you can invite the tenant to come and see the house.

Although he is considered an old fritter, Ding Xiyao was still a little nervous while waiting for the tenant to come over.

After all, it was the first time for her to show someone a house in the game.

Not long after, the doorbell rang, and the first person to come was the working-class buddy who had worked for several years and had a relatively high income.

The order in which the three groups of people came was arranged by Ding Xiyao independently. The reason why this guy came first was mainly because Ding Xiyao felt that he had the best chance of negotiating the highest price with him.

The other two groups are a couple who just graduated and two girls who have just worked for more than a year, and their financial conditions are not very good.

Moreover, young couples pay more attention to the problem of cooking, but the kitchen hygiene in this house is not very good.

Taking it all into consideration, this guy who has worked for several years and is a working class guy has the best economic conditions and doesn't have high requirements for the kitchen, so he is most likely to strike a deal at a high price.

Of course, it is precisely because this buddy has been working for several years, so the ability to find faults may not be weak, and it is not easy to fool around. This depends on Ding Xiyao's ability.

Using the VR controller to open the door, Ding Xiyao couldn't help but froze for a moment.

This buddy... so real!

Because this is the first time Ding Xiyao has seen people in this game.

Although Doubt VR glasses, like all VR glasses, are limited by technical reasons, it is still difficult to achieve the clarity of real ones, and there is even a slight grid effect, but in different games, the clarity of scenes and characters is still obvious. difference.

"Real Estate Agency Simulator" has obviously achieved a very extreme level of clarity in character modeling within the range allowed by the technical level.

After entering the viewing mode, the player will follow the tenant who is viewing the house by default and answer his questions.

Tenants, that is, NPCs in the game, have certain rules in their actions, and they have relatively fixed routes when visiting different rooms.

But which room to look at first, which room to look at last, what is the focus of attention in the room, what kind of questions will be asked, and how will you respond to the player's answers... These all depend on the settings of the characters, showing a strong character. randomness.

In this process, of course, the player does not need to really speak, but uses the handle to select the options on the screen to introduce and answer.

First, briefly introduce the basic situation of this house, and then the customer will ask questions about some details.

The gameplay at this stage is somewhat similar to text adventure games.

The dialogue options available to the player depend on previous observations in the room, preparations made in advance, and comprehensive factors such as the player's level and experience.

At the same time, many subsequent dialogues can only be triggered after the corresponding options are selected in the previous dialogues.

What surprised Ding Xiyao was that every move of this NPC was quite real, his actions were natural, and his speech was very fluent, very colloquial.

The voice of the conversation between the NPC and the player is obviously recorded in advance, because the automatically synthesized voice will inevitably have a feeling of blunt splicing, which can be heard immediately.

The NPCs in the game don't give people that feeling.

Ding Xiyao was a little curious, is this game dubbed and motion-captured for all NPC voices?Isn't it too extravagant?
Will there be repetitions in the future?For example, is it the same question back and forth?

She was thinking about it when she heard the working-class buddy ask, "This room looks pretty well lit, doesn't it?"

It's not a direct question, it sounds more like a casual question.

Three options appeared in front of Ding Xiyao, with three different attitudes.

The first is a positive attitude, boasting without thinking; the second is a neutral attitude, which is more vague, but will not deny it; the third is to tell the truth.

Ding Xiyao couldn't help but hesitate.

Obviously, the first attitude is more helpful to facilitate the transaction, but this buddy will definitely find problems after moving in.

With the third attitude, the conscience is at ease, but it is very likely that the client will be lost. In order to recover, the rent will probably be lowered.

Ding Xiyao was having a hard time making a choice, but seeing that the progress bar of the conversation was coming to an end, she had no choice but to choose the second attitude.
