Chapter 12: Traps in the Item Shop

"Ghost GO is an AR mobile game developed by the IT Department of the Netherworld, which can be downloaded on both Apple and Android platforms. What do you know about www.biquge.infoar? It is a technology that superimposes real environments and virtual objects on the same screen or space in real time. Li Kui smoked a cigarette and said, "It's just that the monsters encountered in the game map of Ghost Go and the items sold in the item shop are real, and there will be all kinds of accidents in the process of catching ghosts." ”

"I know all of this, and I've already been told about it." Li Gandao.

"Oh? Who told you? Li Kui was curious.

"It's me~!"

With a "bang", a puff of green smoke suddenly came out of Li Gan's mobile phone screen, and then a black kitten with a balloon head popped out.

"Wow~!!" Li Qian thought that his mobile phone had burned, and almost threw it into the bucket of shabu-shabu cloth at the door, "What are you doing?!" ”

"Shining debut~" Black Box stood on his lap and posed for the second set of broadcast gymnastics, "Is this pose cool?" ”

"It's as cool as a primary school student......" Li Qian said speechlessly.

"That's what it told you?" Li Kui looked at the black boy, and then looked at his nephew. "Is this the goblin you caught?"

"No, it's sent." Li Qian said truthfully.

"It looks pretty good." Li Kui said with a smile.

"Not a bad fart, I don't know how many times I've wanted to release it since last night." Li Qian said with a headache.

"You are the promoter of the yang world of the ghost go, fortunately I will be lucky~" Hei Zai stretched out his little paw towards Li Kui, "My name is Hei Zai, may I ask your surname?" ”

"Under Li Kui." The owner of the mobile phone store held the paw of the black boy, "Welcome to the shop." ”

"Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs~" Black Box said familiarly, "Uncle Kui is not only a promotion store, but also an intelligence station, right?" ”

"Hehe, you guessed it." Li Kui smiled and dusted off his cigarette ashes.

"Looks like my new master is quite lucky." Black Boy shook the balloon's head, "With a relative like you, you should be able to survive the first open test." ”

"It's hard to say." Li Kui said, "I am only allowed to guide the player to play the game correctly, and I can make some verbal reminders when necessary, and other things will not help much." As for whether or not you can survive the open beta of the game, it all depends on the player's creation, even if this player is related to me, I can't cross the line. ”

"That's it." An incomprehensible smile appeared on Blackboy's face, "It seems that you are quite self-aware." ”

"No way, who told the underworld to restrict human players so much." Li Kui said calmly.

"Oh? Do you have an opinion? The cat monster smiled.

"Don't dare."

Li Gan, who was listening to the conversation between the two on the side, had some doubts in his heart.

The black boy is just a ghost given away by the teaching level, why is the second uncle so respectful to it? Does it have anything to do with the administrator of the Yin Division? Although Black Box has participated in the game's closed beta and knows a lot of ghost's attributes and backgrounds, he doesn't have to have such an attitude towards it, right? Could it be that the second uncle saw any clues?

No, the black boy is a ghost that comes with the system, and it has a guiding effect on the player, and it is inseparable from the player all day long, and the player's every move can be seen by it, I am afraid that its existence also has the role of a system supervisor. Monitor gamers on behalf of game administrators, and report any anomalies in detail. The player has a relative who is a game promoter, which should be a major event for the whole game, so the second master is so cautious in his words and deeds, and he should be more careful.

Does the so-called "one wrong step and you die" also include this? This game is really not simple.

Although he guessed the reason for their conversation, Li Qian still decided to treat Black Box with the same attitude as before. Even if he has a very good relative who can provide convenience for himself in this game, he has to rely on himself, after all, he is not the second master who becomes a gamer. He can know some unknown details inside the game from the second master, but whether these details can play a role in his game progress depends on himself, after all, his own affairs cannot be replaced by others.

It doesn't have to be said thoroughly, Li Gan feels that in this game, he can't show his personal ability too much, not to mention that he has a relative who is a game promoter, which is already eye-catching enough, maybe he has been listed as a key object of care by the game administrator. In this way, I can't make full use of the advantages of the second uncle, an insider, and in order not to cause trouble for myself, I can not ask too sensitive questions, so as not to involve the second uncle.

"Okay, now that we've known each other, we're friends." Black Box smiled, "Li Gan, you can ask your game promoter if you have any questions, basically he knows everything you want to know." ”

"Oh." Li Qian responded, "Just when I want to ask, how to recharge this folding life?" Black Boy said that the game provides a platform for exchanging life points, but after my item shop opened, I only saw a few items that could be purchased under the title of 'mortal', and I didn't find the recharge interface. ”

"After you use up the 10-point discount value given by the system, the system will automatically pop up a dialog box to remind you to recharge." Li Kuidao said and clicked a few times on the Apple phone he picked up with his finger to make a demo interface. "It will tell you the exchange ratio of the discounted life value and the current life you have left, enter the amount you want to exchange, and click OK."

"If you have 100 years to live, for example, in that hundred years, there are 75 common years and 25 leap years. In a normal year, there are 365 days in a year, and in a leap year, there are 366 days in a year, so your total number of days of life is equal to 365 times 100 plus 25, which is 36,525 days. 1 discount point is equal to 99 days of life, so it is 36525 divided by 99, which is about 368, which is all the discount points that your remaining life can be exchanged. ”

A dialog box appears in the item shop on the iPhone that looks like burnt paper. The dialog box displays two lines of blood-red antique characters, accompanied by the system's female ghost prompt sound.

"Your current remaining life is worth 368 points, please enter the amount you want to redeem."

"You can redeem so much." Li Gan's eyes widened.

"It's just an example of a 100-year lifespan per person, but in reality, very few people live that long." Li Kui said, "The pace of life of modern people is too fast, they have to support their families, they are house slaves and car slaves, they have irregular diets, they like to stay up late, they are still under great pressure at work, and it is difficult to find someone to solve if they are not happy. ”

"That's right." Li Qian nodded.

"So among the human players who participate in this game, it is quite good to have a lifespan of 60 years that can be redeemed for life value." Li Kui pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, "Of course, the game system will screen itself when it collects player information, and people who are about to die will not become players of ghost goblin." ”

In other words, before the player downloads the game, the game has already selected the player, Li Qian thought to himself.

"I'm talking about the more critical points below, you have to pay attention to it." Li Kui said.

Li Qian hurriedly pricked up his ears.

"After knowing how much life you have, you can redeem the discounted life value. However, when exchanging the life value, the player cannot enter the amount of life value he wants to exchange, and can only choose the value provided by the system. ”

Li Kui clicked on the text box behind "Redeem Quantity", and a drop-down menu was displayed.

"The main redemption values in the game are '10 points', '20 points', '50 points', '100 points' and 'all redeem'. 'Redeem All' is basically an ornamental option, and few people are stupid enough to redeem their life for a one-time discount, unless it is to gamble their lives. But if you choose according to this option, once at 10 points, once at 50 points, and three times at 100 points, you can only exchange 360 points, and the remaining 8 points cannot be used. ”

In other words...... "Li Qian probably already knows what Li Kui wants to say."

"It can be seen from this that it is very cost-effective to exchange life for life points to buy items, because no matter how you calculate, there will be a fraction of the remaining that cannot be used in the end." Li Kui said, "Don't underestimate the 8-point discount life, which is converted into a life span of more than two years." ”

It's a trap that eats life. Li Qian understood.

"When there is no dark currency available in the early stage, you can properly recharge some life points to buy props, but try not to recharge them unless you have to, unless you urgently need some props in the mall, because once you start to charge life points, you can't stop."

"yes, I see." Li Qian nodded.

He carefully studied the props sold in the mall, except for the soul soup and the seven-star rope that were not enough to buy, and the price design of the remaining three props was also quite knowledgeable. The price of each seal stone is 4 points, the price of each copper bell is 3 points, and the price of each bowl of foot tail rice is 1.5 points. In addition to the foottail rice, which can be made by yourself, with the 10-point discount life value given by the initial system, no matter how you buy it, there will be a remaining balance payment. Buying two Seal Stones costs a total of 8 points, and you will have 2 points left. Buying three copper bells costs a total of 9 points, and there will be 1 point left. People have the idea that they don't want to waste resources, and they will keep topping up in order to make up the money they need to buy items, so they fall into a bottomless pit.

Some people may say, why buy only one item at a time? You can buy two copper bells for 6 points, and buy another seal stone for 4 points, just use up these 10 points, how cost-effective. You can buy things based on your own needs, not on the money you have. In the current situation, the most cost-effective way to play is to catch more ghosts that have not been opened in the Illustrated Book, increase the title level as soon as possible, and get the corresponding title rewards, which is the best choice for players who do not have Stygian coins and do not want to waste their life value. By analogy, for Li Gan, who is still in the early stages of the game, the most needed is the sealing stone that can catch the ghosts, and the secondary demand is the copper bell that improves the capture rate. He could even save the life value needed to buy the copper bell and buy an extra sealing stone. Therefore, with his course of action, there will inevitably be a surplus of life value that cannot be used for the time being.

"The store also provides a platform for exchanging life value for life, with a ratio of 4 to 1, that is, 4 percent of life points for 1 year." Li Kui continued, "Just take a look at this, in case you accidentally charge up your life points one day, don't exchange your life from this platform, it's not cost-effective." ”

4 discount life points for 1 year, 99 days for 1 point, 4 points is 396 days of life, a year according to 365 days, it is equivalent to a loss of 31 days, it is indeed not cost-effective. From this point of view, this life value system is simply a big hole. With the urine nature of the game designer, even if you get the life value by increasing the game title in the future, it is estimated that it can only be used to buy some low-level props, and you can't exchange it for more life.

So if you want to have fun, you have to figure out an evil way.

"Tell me about the Stygian coin." Li Qian suddenly said, "How can I recharge this thing?" ”
