"Another way to collect money," Sun Yimin sighed, "This so-called free game is really a way to make money." And in order to make money, it is really going to the extreme. ”

"Hehe, the purpose of people opening games is to make money, not to do charity. It's only natural for you to spend some money! Liu Ronghua said, "Besides, people didn't force you to spend money." ”

"Yes, a very clever profit model!" Sun Yimin had to admit it. Then he asked, "What do you mean by what gem mine you just said?" ”

"Gem mines are used to refine primary materials for gemstone rough, which need to be collected in the wild."

"Wild? How come I've never seen a gem mine? I have only seen medicinal herbs that can be collected. Sun asked.

"There is only one map area to collect in the Gem Mine, and that is the Floating Jade Mountain. Before you go to collect, you have to find the NPC 'Zhao Mingcheng' on the streets of Chang'an to learn mining skills. ”

"Floating Jade Mountain? I've been to all the maps and dungeons from 10-60 since I started playing this game, so why haven't I heard the name of this map? ”

"Fuyu Mountain is a special map. Unlike normal maps, there are no dungeon scenarios to challenge on this map. But it is a treasure map, and the southern slope of the mountain is dotted with precious special medicinal herbs. On the northern slope, there is a cave with a variety of jade stones. The main thing that can be mined is gem ore, and there is a certain chance of mining various other stones, such as hedrons, titanium crystals, etc. ”

Sun asked, "Then why haven't I seen you take me to dig a gem mine?" ”

"It's a bit complicated to say." Liu Ronghua explained, "First of all, this floating jade mountain is an open map area. The so-called openness means that the character can kill the alien gang characters at will on this map, and there is no need to actively turn on the attack mode. In other words, the map, while abundant, is full of danger and carnage. Another point, the mine in Fuyu Mountain, it is difficult for you to get in. ”

"Why? Isn't public resources accessible to everyone? Sun Yimin asked puzzled.

Liu Ronghua: "Alas...... You don't know anything about this server when you first arrive, so you have to go to Fuyu Mountain to have a look. ”

Seeing that Liu Ronghua was too lazy to explain, Sun Yimin stopped asking. I thought in my heart that maybe the monsters in the cave of Fuyu Mountain were too lethal, right? I plan to go to Fuyu Mountain to see it in person later.

At this time, there was another doubt in his heart, and he asked Liu Ronghua: "Can you also buy synthetic finished gemstones in the stall market?" ”

"Yes."

"Then do you say it's cost-effective to synthesize gemstones yourself or is it cost-effective to buy finished products directly at the market?"

"It's pretty much the same. If other players take it out and sell it, they must also include the cost of synthesis, right? ”

"That's right, it's better to buy the finished product directly, why bother yourself so much." Sun Yimin said.

Liu Ronghua nodded.

Sun Yimin asked again: "Then I have a question, if I have a medium-grade gem in my hand now, but I dislike it and the quality is too low, and I want to replace it with a high-quality gemstone, then can I only sell the medium-grade gemstone?" ”

"You can sell it, you can break it down. After the finished gemstone is disassembled, the rough gemstone can be recreated. Then you take the rough stones to craft higher-level gems. ”

Sun Yimin nodded, and then asked: "Like you said, finished gemstones are divided into 8 types according to their attributes, right?" So can I specify what properties I want when I compose? ”

"There is no distinction between gem mines and rough gemstones. However, the crafted gem will be given random attributes. So it's all a matter of luck. If the crafted gem isn't what you want, you can sell it or trade it for someone else. ”

"How much does a divine gem cost?" Sun Yimin asked curiously.

"Let's not talk about the gods, let alone you, even I can't afford it. You see, most of the gems on my body are just superb. Only armor and weapons have a few divine products on them. The gods are simply priceless. Liu Ronghua said.

Sun Yimin opened Liu Ronghua's equipment interface, carefully browsed each piece of armor and weapon, and looked at the gems inlaid on it. A total of 15 capsules. Basically, it is the best gem or above, and there is no divine product.

On the other hand, the highest is also the highest grade, and there are some middle grades.

Sun Yimin has seen many gods whose combat power is higher than Liu Ronghua. Although Liu Ronghua's equipment is already of top quality and forging +10, his combat power is still much lower than that of those super gods.

Don't look at the small god stone, the difference between it and the best stone is really big.

Taking weapons as an example, Liu Ronghua's +10 Golden Zen Staff [Casual Edge] has a physical attack value of 29987 (excluding the increased value of gems). And a divine physical attack gem embedded on it can increase the physical attack attribute by about 5000 points. In other words, this superb gem can increase attack power by nearly one-sixth. ”

"So how much attack power can a divine gem increase?"

"About 15,000."

Sun Yimin gasped when he heard this. He asked curiously, "Why can't you afford it?" Isn't it just throwing money? Aren't you a tyrant? ”

Liu Ronghua frowned and explained, "To synthesize a divine gem, millions of rough stones are needed. And the success rate of synthesis is up to 10%. The cost of buying rough stones, crystals, and titanium crystals alone is frighteningly high. What's more, scarcity is expensive. There are a lot of super tyrants in the game world who are eager to own this kind of divine stone, and the price is noisy to the sky, you can go to the Treasure Pavilion to see what the market price of a divine gem is? ”

"What is the Treasure Chamber?" Sun asked.

"The Treasure Cabinet is another trading feature that the game officially offers. It is known that players can trade gold for items at the stalls or auction houses in the game. But through the Treasure Pavilion, some rare game items, including the best equipment, large gold coins, and even game accounts, can be traded directly in RMB. Although the platform charges a certain transaction fee, because it is officially opened, the transaction security and convenience are good, and it is very popular with players. Liu Ronghua explained.

Sun Yimin understood, clicked the icon in the upper right corner of the game to open the Treasure Pavilion interface, and saw that the list on it was some rare and superlative. There are very few divine gems, and one is worth more than 50,000 yuan!

"50,000 pieces! There are a total of 16 pieces in the whole body! Why the hell does it cost 800,000? Sun Yimin looked creepy. I secretly thought that these people were either crazy or had a mine at home.

"Yes! So, I can only afford to wear the best gemstones. Liu Ronghua said.

At this time, Sun Yimin thought of another question: "The combat power of a super god like Xingtian should have reached the top level at present, right?" Because the forging and gems are already at their top. ”

"Yes at present, but the system will introduce new equipment and new cultivation methods in the future, and the combat power can continue to be improved." Liu Ronghua said.

"Then how much are these superb gems on your body worth in RMB?" Sun Yimin asked curiously.

"About 5,000 a piece. Renminbi. Liu Ronghua said lightly.

Sun Yimin sighed: This kind of virtual stone is worth thousands of yuan, and these stones are refined and synthesized from gem ore. In other words, collecting gem mines in the game is equivalent to earning RMB. If there's a way to mine gems efficiently, you can actually make a lot of money in the game!

Sun Yimin also saw a special kind of top-notch in the Treasure Pavilion: game characters. I couldn't help but ask Liu Ronghua curiously: "Characters can also be traded?" ”

"Well, yes," Liu explained, "the characters in the seller's account will be transferred to the buyer's game account after the transaction." And the name can be changed, this transaction through official channels is very safe and convenient. If you can't get used to it, you can also sell the account directly. ”

Sun Yimin's package contained several high-grade and medium-grade gems, some of which were given by Liu Ronghua, and some were dismantled from old armor and weapons. Sun Yimin inlaid high-grade stones into gold weapons and golden armor. The remaining medium-grade stones are going to be sold on the stalls, ready to exchange them for some gold coins to forge equipment.

For him, high-grade gemstones are luxuries and cannot be afforded. He just wanted to save more money and forge his equipment first.

Replaced with a golden weapon, and added a few better gems, Sun Yimin's combat power increased to 92566.

Looking at this rising number, I feel a sense of accomplishment. I also had the urge to go to the wild and want to try it, and I remembered that Liu Ronghua just said that Fuyu Mountain was difficult to break, so I decided to go and experience it.

Out of the gang, I first went to the Chang'an NPC to learn mining skills. Then find the Chang'an Post Station and teleport to the "Floating Jade Mountain" map area in an instant.

Out of the safe area of the village, there are not many people wandering in the wild. However, the oncoming characters turned their names orange on the top of their heads. There are only one or two co-players who decorate the brocade building, and the name above their heads is green.

In general, other players seen in non-safe areas of the field are green, indicating friendly status. Unless you are actively attacked by the other party, or you have turned on the active attack mode, then you will see the name on the top of the head of the alien gang turn orange.

Sun Yimin checked his "attack mode switch" and determined that it was off. I wonder why most of the outsiders are attackable.

After consulting Liu Ronghua on the side, I learned that the area of Fuyu Mountain is an "open map area" with special attributes. The so-called openness means that any character who enters the map can attack other gang members at will. There is no need to turn on attack mode, but killing people also increases the guilt value.

"Why this particular kind of map?" Sun Yimin asked puzzled.

"It's convenient for players to fight!" Liu Ronghua said without hesitation: "Because this map area contains valuable minerals and precious medicinal materials, this is done to encourage players to grab minerals and fight each other, and increase the passion and fun of the game." Those militants often like to come to this map and kill people. ”

Sun Yimin nodded, raising his vigilance in his heart. In the wilderness of Fuyu Mountain, he tried his best to avoid the open path of the outsiders, but along the way, he saw many people collecting a plant medicinal material called "Bi Hibiscus". A lot of people gathered over and over again, scrambling and fighting.

"What is this grass?" Sun asked Liu Ronghua.

"Bi Hibiscus is the material used to make the high-grade medicine Da Huandan. This medicinal herb only exists in abundance in Fuyu Mountain, and some can occasionally be seen on other field maps. ”

After some searching, I finally came to the entrance of the underground mine.

Sun Yimin was in a hurry to go in and try to collect gem mines, but he didn't expect that as soon as he stepped into the entrance of the mine, the screen instantly turned black and white. The system information bar at the bottom right indicates that he was killed by a member of the Mori Luo Tang [Burning Extravagant Hope].

"What do you mean?" Sun Yimin looked at Liu Ronghua puzzled.

Liu Ronghua shrugged his shoulders and explained, "It's very simple, you were killed. ”

"Why did they kill me for no reason?" Sun looked angry and puzzled.

"Isn't that clear? Gem ore is a rare resource. Senluotang has occupied the world's only gem mine and does not allow other gangs to collect it. Liu Ronghua explained.

Sun Yimin remembered that Liu Ronghua claimed that he couldn't mine gem mines, which turned out to be the reason.

It seems that this floating jade mountain is a treasure in the game world, in addition to gem mines, there is also a chance to get a small number of other stones. Therefore, Sen Luo Tang is consumed by the desire for profit and takes it for himself, which is also very hateful to think about.

"Isn't this a forcible appropriation of public resources? That's too domineering, isn't it? Sun Yimin said indignantly.

"There's no way, no one can afford to mess with Sen Luotang." Liu Ronghua said lightly.

"Isn't there a gang that can beat them?"

"Nope. The power of Sen Luo Tang is too strong. Liu Ronghua sighed.

"Why don't you dare to join forces to kill Sen Luo Tang and share the gem mine together?" Sun asked.

"The gangs don't dare to unite with each other, because Senluotang has multiple means to threaten the gangs. In order to protect themselves, these gangs have chosen to swallow their voices rather than the gem mines. ”

Sun Yimin remembered how the goddess had unintentionally explained to him how Sen Luotang threatened other gangs. I feel that in this virtual game world, there is also a law of the jungle just like the real world.
