Chapter 20 In-Game Currency System
Redemption of items and skills can be quickly indexed by type in the menu, which is detailed below the relevant content entry.
——
Qi Zhen looked at the touch screen in front of her carefully, and did not rush to operate.
"Captain, how did you distribute everyone's rewards before?" Qi Zhen turned his head and asked Li Qiang.
Li Qiang replied: "Under normal circumstances, the monetary benefits are divided equally, and the points are exchanged according to each person's own preferences, and the team will not interfere. ”
"So you're saying that they have skills and props that you don't know?" Qi Zhen pointed at Yu Liang.
"I probably know, but who doesn't have a secret of their own?" Li Qiang said.
"I understand your concerns." Qi Zhen nodded.
"Xiaobai, come out!" Qi Zhen shouted.
"Yes." Xiaobai appeared beside Qi Zhen.
"Does the reward have to be used right away?" Qi Zhen said.
"There's no requirement for that, you can distribute and use it now, or you can use it later." Xiaobai said.
Qi Zhen nodded and said, "I understand, you can go." ”
"Okay." Xiaobai disappeared again in an instant.
"Then the urgent thing we need now is to find a place for the four of us to live first." Qi Zhen muttered and opened the touch screen's index tree about the building of the house.
"I rub, so much?"
Even with mental preparation, Qi Zhen was still stunned by the picture in front of her.
There are a wide variety of buildings on the screen, which are divided by game type and name, and include all existing buildings in the game.
Qi Zhen clicked on the menu entry of stand-alone-domestic-RPG games, and swept it at a glance, not only the Imperial Palace, Dragon Palace, and Heavenly Palace, but also the architectural styles of various game schools to choose from, as well as classical Chinese architecture and gardens.
At the same time, each building supports multi-dimensional indexing, as long as you tap the building screen itself, the building will be displayed in 3D, and the description of the building will be displayed at the bottom, which game it appears in, and who belongs to it in the game.
In addition, different building types have different effects, such as the Dragon Palace, which can increase the affinity of the water system and increase the effect of the water talent.
Of course, the higher the stat bonus, the higher the amount of money purchased.
When Qi Zhen first started, he took a fancy to an antique courtyard, which was an ancient building that appeared in the clouds of Xuanyuan Sword Han. The special effect is every three days off, adding a little random attribute, and the price of the small courtyard is not expensive, only 50 silver coins can be traded.
Under the entry of classical Chinese architecture, the most expensive is the imperial palace. Of course, the style of the palace will be different in different games, but the same thing is that the special effects are very good, and they are also extremely expensive, as for how expensive?
"Damn, isn't this a money grab?" Qi Zhen looked at the model of the palace in front of him and said indignantly.
"Imperial Palace, from the game Datang Fengyunlu, special effects: tranquility, each day off increases all attributes by three points; Domination, every three days off, increases the command power of military units in the game by 3 points; Affinity, which increases the friendliness of in-game NPCs by 3 points for every 3 days off. ”
"Purchase amount: 1,000 gold."
Qi Zhen endured the irritability in her heart and kept browsing through the buildings.
"This ...... There are too many. Looking at it, Qi Zhen was a little irritable.
"I suggest that you don't pick and choose here by going to a mall, it's better if you have a prerequisite in mind first, and then it's better to choose." Li Qiang persuaded again.
"Aren't the four of us all waiting to move in, it's not good to delay." Qi Zhen said.
Lin Xiao and the three of them, who were watching Qi Zhen's operation from the sidelines, returned a friendly smile to Qi Zhen at this time.
"It's okay, when we first came in, it was the same situation as you, after going out from here, there is an apartment halfway up the mountainside, which can also be used for everyone to rest, but there are no attribute rewards, so you can rest assured, in addition, living in an apartment can only be rented, therefore, you still have to provide money to the system every day." Li Qiang continued.
"How much does it cost to rent there?" Qi Zhen asked.
"3 silver coins." Li Qiang said.
"3 silver coins a month, it's okay, it's not very expensive." Qi Zhen nodded, feeling that it was about the same.
"One day." Yu Liang said on the side.
"What? One day? Qi Zhen began to scratch her head again.
"So you've been living there all along?" Qi Zhen suddenly reacted and asked.
Li Qiang nodded: "Please understand this, after all, our money is used to buy equipment and props, probably except for myself, everyone has no money." After a pause, "And the only money I saved was used up by the captain just now." ”
Qi Zhen probably knew it in her heart.
It's a tight monetary policy.
In a healthy gaming environment, the monetary system will always be a difficult problem for designers to bypass.
What are you most afraid of? In fact, I am most afraid of inflation.
For example, if the price of buying a piece of equipment or props in the game is 1 gold coin, the player is too powerful to obtain more currency in different ways in the open game world, resulting in a lower gold content of the currency, or the amount of currency produced by the game mission is very large, resulting in a flood of currency, which will cause the unit of 1 gold coin to not truly reflect the reasonable price of game equipment and props.
In the end, it means that players can charge higher quality items at a lower price, and the game will become less challenging and lose the fun of the game.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in online games, especially after the game level cap is raised, because to update more game content and item levels, almost all the original game structure of the currency system will be destroyed.
However, mobile games solve this problem later, that is, to create more kinds of currencies, and at the same time, the exchange rate is fixed by the system and closed and free transactions.
In this way, there are fewer studios that take advantage of game loopholes to deliberately farm money, and the currency will not become more, and at the same time, the currency produced by the task or game can only buy the specific goods corresponding to the currency, and players cannot buy and sell at will, so as to indirectly ensure the stability of the monetary system.
However, even so, it is still impossible to completely prevent such things from happening.
Qi Zhen's mind returned to this game.
In this relatively free open-world game, the only way to prevent the collapse of the monetary system is to strictly control the output of money on the one hand, and to increase the recovery of money on the other.
Grasp with both hands, both hands should be hard.
Only in this way can players have a deeper understanding of the difficulty and fun of the game.
This is something that can never be compared to those short and flat fast mobile games.
Those games, rush to buy, buy, buy and buy, and it's over.
Game companies are just trying to make quick money, which is the biggest difference between stand-alone games or console games and online games.
In online games, other players are also part of the player's gaming experience. This is much simpler than building NPC characters and building a world view system.
If you can do both, you can become a god!
Domestic games such as Sword Network III! Japanese and Korean games such as DNF! European and American games such as World of Warcraft!
But even phenomenal online games such as DNF and World of Warcraft, at this time, due to the increase in the level cap and game content, the currency system is also a mess, which makes people sigh.
"You guys go and rest first, I'll take a good look before deciding." Qi Zhen apologized to everyone.
Because there are so many things.
"Oh, I forgot!" Qi Zhen suddenly remembered.
Qi Zhen opened the gold coin distribution menu, and the avatars of the seven members of the team were displayed on it.
In addition, there is also a squad account, which must be the "Guild Bank".
And at this time, in the team account, there are 67 gold coins and 50 silver coins in it!
Qi Zhen remained silent and said: "I'll distribute the money now, a total of 3 silver coins/person/day, I will divide more, 5 silver coins per person, including your accommodation and meal expenses today, and the rest will be talked about tomorrow." ”
Qi Zhen said, clicked on everyone's avatar separately, and paid 5 silver coins.
"Your account has received 5 credits." With the sound of the system's voice, everyone knew that the money had arrived.
"Damn, do you want to be so picky, we used to divide it evenly." Yu shouted.
"Hey, why don't you wait for me to take a look at it first, and when I'm done, I'll give you points tomorrow, okay?" Qi Zhen asked with a smile.
"Money junkies." Yu Liang said a word, turned around and left.
"I didn't say you, the one who became the captain, this problem should really be changed." Li San said a word to Qi Zhen "seriously", and followed Yu Liang out of the door.
"Hey." Jiang Yan looked at Qi Zhen, sighed heavily, shook her head, and went out.
"Little Qizhen, don't let the young lady down." Meng Ran said playfully, and also turned around and followed Jiang Yan.
"Sect Leader Lin, why didn't you speak?" Qi Zhen wondered.
"What's the money? What about money? Lin Xiao asked.
"The money is in your account." Qi Zhen said.
"Where's my account?" Lin Xiao asked.
"At Li San's place, you will find out if you look for him." Qi Zhen couldn't help but smile.
"Damn, if he dares to touch my account, I'll cut him!" Lin Xiao said and quickly chased after him.
Qi Zhen sneered.
"I just told you to talk to you, you can't wait to look at it so quickly, how does it feel?" Li Qiang asked.
"This captain is really not easy to be." Qi Zhen sighed and patted Li Qiang's arm.
"Do you know how difficult it is for me to save these 7 gold belongings?" Li Qiang asked.
"How much?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Seven gold." Li Qiang replied.
Qi Zhen pointed to the touch screen and asked, "Can't you see how much money is here?" ”
"I can't see it, only the captain can see it." Li Qiang said.
"Oh." Qi Zhen nodded, suddenly realized.
Qi Zhen knew that she had made a fortune.
If Li Qiang didn't say nonsense, then the total amount of currency that should have been stored in the team's account is 7 gold coins, plus the 23 gold coins rewarded by this game system, there should be 30 gold coins in the account now, and the extra 37 gold and 50 silver must have been exchanged for the excess game currency in Qi Zhen's hand at the end.
In other words, the system converts all 3,750 game coins into gold coins in a 100-to-1 manner!
Gold!
Qi Zhen was annoyed in her heart, and kept patting her forehead with her hand, snapping and popping.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Qiang asked.
"I'm just, a little sad." Qi Zhen was a little frustrated.
If I had known, I wouldn't have eradicated those sunflowers so quickly, it was all money!
Li Qiang comforted: "Okay, although the money is not a lot, it is enough for us to use for a while." The reason I keep this money in the team account is because I can arm the new recruits as soon as they arrive. ”
"I really don't have much experience in the management and operation of the team, and I have been exploring step by step to get to where I am now, and I don't know if it's right or wrong to do so." Li Qiang said, unable to hide the loss on his face.
"Captain, I'll tell you the truth, if you just talk about the operation and management of the squad, this squad is really a mess, it doesn't even look like a squad, you say that in addition to everyone entering the game together to experience life and death, where else does it look like a squad?" Qi Zhen said, unceremoniously.
"It's true, but I'm not going to manage the affairs of the team." Li Qiang said.
"But this team, until today, has not been removed and has not dissipated into this world, which is a miracle in itself." Qi Zhen continued, and this sentence made Li Qiang's face look better.
"Of course, I don't mean to praise you, but I'm just telling the truth." Qi Zhen said.
Li Qiang nodded and said, "Now, I'll tell you what the captain can do, you can hear clearly." ”
