Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

At [-]:[-] p.m. on the first day of the open beta test, eleven hours (real time) after the "official operation" of the game.

Yang Qiu, who was squatting in the administrative office of the exile town, was silently monitoring the currency circulating between the player and the "NPC".

This game is doomed to have no talk of swiping money. The reason is very simple. The money in this game is the real thing, not data—all the copper coins that players get through missions are bought by Yang Qiu at the market price through the Internet. Tons of brass, and then found a small manufacturer of game coins to order copper alloy coins with a copper content of not less than 50%...

From the current point of view, copper coins are estimated to be the mainstay of the game currency for a long time. Anyway, Yang Qiu can't afford silver coins. No matter how cheap silver is, it will cost several million per ton, so he can't make so much money.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with copper coins, at least the locals like Hal and Rex are willing to recognize these copper coins produced by the earth industry, although they can’t understand why the undead who don’t need to eat and drink are willing to work hard for copper coins (such as For money, they can't understand the so-called prestige value), but they are willing to accept this copper coin as salary.

Anyway, the currency in this world is a mess. Private coins of aristocrats with widely different specifications and grades are circulated wantonly. The beautifully printed 50% copper alloy copper coins are enough to beat the tattered green copper coins circulating in many kingdoms.

In short, in order to increase the enthusiasm of players to participate in the mission and at the same time allow the limited currency to circulate indefinitely, Yang Qiu asked the NPC to send copper coins to the player through missions, and the other side also had to arrange a means of recycling the currency.

At present, there are two channels for currency recovery. The first "just needed" that players must have is the pockets sold by the tailor Arisa.

Hmm... It's just a thick canvas belt with four small denim bags with zippers, which can hold a lot of odds and ends. Yang Qiu contacted a certain prison (...) on the Internet and ordered it from the prison. It is very good and cheap.

The price of this kind of pocket is eight copper coins.

Come again... It is the "novice outfit" sold by the zombie NPC.

Each player can only receive the benefit task of "cleaning for 10 minutes and changing to a novice outfit" once. If it is accidentally lost or damaged, you have to pay twelve copper coins to buy it from the zombie NPC.

Not to mention whether the two currency recycling channels are enough, anyway, Yang Qiu has to buy the pockets and novice outfits from the earth and put them in, so it's a loss...

That's why Yang Qiu suppressed the task rewards. He only gave out two copper coins an hour to the prestige high-level NPCs, and didn't give one extra to the prestige zombie NPCs. ...Uh, wearing his clothes, playing with his clothes, how can I not be careful!

There are two or three rounds of players going online and offline. Currently, there are 226 players online. Judging from the heated discussions on the forum, it will take another two hours for Earth time to reach today's peak. It is estimated that 300 players can go online neatly.

Among the 281 players who have been online, the player with the shortest online time has also maintained (game time) more than five hours of online time, participated in game tasks for at least two hours, and obtained at least four copper coins.

As for players who are more enthusiastic and keen on doing tasks, the average value of the copper coins in their pockets is about four or eight copper coins, including the consumption of purses.

With the current reserve of 20 copper coins in Yang Qiu's hand, it is not a pressure to release a few thousand copper coins for circulation. Now he is not worried about whether the currency is enough to circulate, but has considered a deeper problem——

Yang Qiu immersed himself in the imprint matrix, watching a group of people who were active in the planned construction site of the Walker Guild.

There are six players in this group, all of them are young males. The ID of the leader is "One Bite Eight". He seems to have a good relationship with the No. [-] tap water in Vanilla Pudding, and they call each other "Brother Qin" and "Xiao Zhou".

Because of the vanilla pudding, Yang Qiu noticed this group of people from the very beginning, and it took almost no effort to see that this group of people was definitely a studio. He quickly found Tuttle, the Ranger Mentor, and squatted there and never left.

Yang Qiu has played online games anyway, and he knows that as long as it is an MMORPG game, physical remote occupations are the first choice for making gold.

This group of young people who run the studio did not "live up" the name of playing gold, they didn't mess around at all, and focused on doing the tasks very hard; Transferred to do the task of the zombie NPC, it was dawn in the game, and they fell back again.

Even the "just-needed" pockets, these six people only bought one, and the copper coins earned by all the staff were put on "eight for one mouth".

If it is a normal online game, then the official studio must hate the studio that has entered the server very much. Don't talk about games that have a studio, and the studio can also be convenient for players. Everything is aimed at shortening the life of the game cycle.

If a game with a weaker economic system can withstand a year without letting the studio become pornographic, it must be regarded as a strong operation team.

Of course, "Alien" pretends to be like a game, but in the final analysis, it is not a game... So Yang Qiu is not at all disgusted with studios that are actively making money, and even hopes that there will be more cheap and hard-working labor as possible ...

So here is the problem. The studio is here for money. What they pursue is to convert the coins obtained in the game into RMB. You will be hit, and you will no longer be active in doing tasks.

Yang Qiu rubbed his chin, looking through the hard-working young men in the studio, looking deeper into the distance.

Not only the studio, but for the group of Gandi players, earning a small amount of money while playing the game can also stimulate the enthusiasm of the game. The number of Gandi players is much higher than that of the studio, maybe they can give him more surprises.

This conclusion is well-founded. Yang Qiu learned a lot about Earth online games when he was thinking about transforming the Tarantan wasteland into a game field. The Beast Nostalgic Server that was just opened two months ago is not a job to be active on the gold front line. room, but a huge number of Faye players...

"We can't just consider the normal circulation of currency, but also consider the value of the currency itself... To put it simply, it is to make money more valuable." Yang Qiu narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, "After all...not all players are willing to Do tasks when you go online, and log off when you are tired, this is the reason why high-level NPCs who give reputation are more popular than zombie NPCs who don’t give reputation.”

"Ordinary players are willing to do the tasks given by high-level NPCs in order to obtain the transfer channel, to obtain the weapons and equipment after the transfer, in short, or for numerical rewards, in order to become stronger."

"Standing on the head to do the task. At the stage of first contact with the holographic game, the player's curiosity is strong, it's nothing, after a long time, the player gets tired of it, and they will abandon the game..."

"Then...you don't have to wait until the players change jobs on a large scale, but increase the value of the game coins as soon as possible, and increase the enthusiasm of the players for the task."

The planned construction site of the Traveler's Guild, where three job-changing mentors are staying, is the busiest construction site in the town of exile.

After 22 hours of game time, the construction site with a size of about [-] square meters has been cleared away by the players. A lot of garbage has been cleared away by the players. The three mission sites that were originally separated from each other were opened up, and Hal, Tuttle and another team were picked up. A player of an advanced NPC mission can even shout and chat through the air.

"There are quite a few people who want to change careers." Miaobi Shenghua looked at the players who were busy moving bricks in full swing, and sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Looking at the situation, the Walker Guild is probably the fastest to be established. ."

Give me the medicine and just handed in the task, while stuffing coins in the pocket, he rushed to pick up his wonderful pen curiously and asked: "Has the magic teacher started work yet?"

One of the three veterans of the closed closed beta, give me medicine, is also a member of the brick-moving party at the construction site of the Walker Guild. He is not interested in assassins who are similar to assassins in traditional MMORPGs, and he does not want to play long-distance. He is working hard to collect treasures. Expert reputation.

"I don't know, I haven't been able to accept the task of the magic teacher." Miaobi said with pain, "Now that I have reached the first level, the only one who can receive the task of the magic teacher is 'Ou Hulu', but I asked around, That guy seems to be a lone ranger, he doesn't like to play with others, and no one knows where he went."

"Don't worry, it's just the first day of the closed beta, and you're only a little short of the [-]-point potential for level-[-] promotion. You might be able to accept the task of a magic instructor tomorrow." Give me medicine to comfort me road.

"I'm not in a hurry. Vanilla is not in a hurry. Why am I in a hurry? At worst, I'll do zombie NPC tasks for two more days to earn some money." Miaobi Shenghua said with a smile, "Let's go find vanilla and see if we can have an exploration activity tonight."

Always doing the task of moving bricks is definitely not acceptable to normal players. Even if the game just started, everyone has a new account, and even the mouse in Zhennan can't beat it, let alone the town. Turning exile town upside down or something, they're still interested in doing it.

The two of them were about to leave the construction site managed by the treasure expert, and when they turned their heads inadvertently, they found... that human NPC who seemed to have been offended by the player and who had a dead face at all times except when reading lines during interactive tasks , A wooden sign was inserted in front of the tent, and a notice was posted.

"Wait!" Give me the medicine and quickly waved to Miaobi Shenghua, and ran over first.

Pan Xi, the treasure expert, is a middle-aged man who looks a bit older. He originally stayed in a relatively hidden location, and was not harassed by players much at the beginning, but after he was activated by the player's reputation bar, he was in charge of the transfer path. His "treasure expert" professional feature was discovered by the players, and he couldn't hide it... There were more players squatting at him than at Hal's, second only to Tuttle.

Rex, who was in charge of the soldier's job change, fell asleep for a while before being woken up by the players. Pan Xi didn't sleep at all before Yang Qiu ran over to apply the "patch"...

Pan Xi, who didn't like this group of dirty undead at all, received instructions from Yang Qiu through the branding matrix and posted a notice, but just sat by the side with a cold face, and had no intention of explaining to the players at all.

Fortunately, the reward mechanism that each "advanced NPC" is responsible for is prepared in advance, and Pan Xi doesn't need to talk nonsense, just post the notice...

Give me the medicine and ran to the notice wooden sign. Several players who were close to me had already read the content of the notice.

Give me some medicine and read the announcement, and let out a loud crap: "The top five players who have reached the friendly reputation can not only receive the walker apprentice transfer, distribute apprentice weapons, but also participate in Bid for the 'Orb of Fraud'?"

"Limited accessory 'Deceitful Orb', made by treasure expert Pan Xi, only three will be released this time, and the next open bidding will be a month later? It can create visual camouflage and create humanoid phantoms for undead race players. The bidding price starts at 300 A copper coin?!"

"Huh? Isn't this the prop in a certain beast?" The clever pen who is also a game master said immediately.

"That's right, it's the orb of deceit! Nima gave the top five bidders the right to bid but only released three orbs. The dog plan is forcing players to spend money!" Give me the medicine and said excitedly.

"Anyway, it's just to change the appearance. It's similar to fashion, so it doesn't necessarily mean you have to buy it." Miaobi Shenghua said indifferently.

A player next to him immediately objected: "Of course it doesn't matter if you play other professions, but if you choose the treasure expert path, this thing is indispensable."

"Yes, yes." Another player said, "Treasure experts specialize in finding treasures in the later stage, and they are going to explore human territories. If they can't pretend to be human, wouldn't they be full of famous monsters everywhere?"

Miaobi Shenghua thought about the attitude of the human NPCs in Exile Town who work as the resurrection instructors of the undead race towards them undead players... couldn't help but nodded in agreement: "It seems to be the same. It's really a good thing to go out of the birthplace of the undead. There is no limit that only treasure experts or walkers can use it, it is indeed an artifact."

A group of players looked at each other in blank dismay, unanimously... Lifting up their mission props, they turned and ran towards the construction site.

There are only five bidding rights. Even if you can't afford to buy the bidding rights after grabbing them, you can resell the bidding rights. There must be no harm in grabbing the top five!

I also thought of this when I took the medicine, and immediately turned to my little friend seriously: "I won't go to activities with you tonight, I have to hurry up and gain reputation."

"Okay." Miaobi Shenghua hurriedly said, "Your copper coins are not enough, I will keep all the copper coins here for you. Shall I tell Mr. Vanilla and ask him to help contact his studio friends and transfer their copper coins Leave it to you too?"

"I want it!" Giving me the medicine, I exchanged tasks with Pan Xi and nodded fiercely, "Just say that I want all their copper coins, at the market price!"

"Okay, then I'll go right away." Miaobi Shenghua didn't talk nonsense, turned around and ran in the direction of the warrior mentor Rex.

Jogging all the way, when passing by another high-level NPC, but not very popular knight instructor, he found that there was also a wooden sign beside the tent of the human NPC, with a notice on it.

And look at the several players on the construction site in front of the knight instructor who are working very hard... Miaobi Shenghua hurried over and glanced at the notice.

Before seeing the deceitful orb, he was not very excited, but this time he let out a loud "fuck".

The "bidding" activity opened by the knight instructor here turned out to be the undead horse!

Still, the top five players who are the first to be friendly can get the right to bid, but there is only one undead horse!

The starting price is still 1000 copper coins, which can be called sky-high at present!

Realizing that it will be difficult to collect copper coins in the short term, Miaobi Shenghua didn't dare to delay any longer, and ran to find Qin Guan.

Qin Guan, who was busy working on his reputation as a warrior instructor, got the news, left the task in a hurry and ran around all the high-level NPCs in the town, and confirmed that only treasure experts and knight instructors are open to the "competition for bidding rights".

"Only these two are enough - let's cheat orbs, that undead horse will definitely set off a bloodbath!" Qin Guan had a headache, "What's the plan of the dog, I said that this game doesn't require money to repair equipment and revive it Consumables ask for money, and these currency recycling routines are very conscientious, so the pit is buried here!"

If I were an ordinary player, I would be very happy to be able to exchange the game currency I got into RMB while playing the game.

It’s not that Qin Guan doesn’t like the value of the game currency. Not only is Xiao Zhou, the owner of the studio who followed him into the game, his little brother, he also loves playing gold very much... But if the price goes too high, his other little partner Give me medicine, and it will be difficult to get enough copper coins to buy the fraud orb he wants.
