Chapter 22: Dog Planning!
At the entrance of the dungeon, I saw that the two dozen or so players who had gone out from the previous expedition had returned, and they had also brought back eight dead underground spiders, which were wrapped in ropes and dragged back together.
Sherlock didn't expect that in just a few hours, the players had already brought back eight underground spiders.
In addition to the underground spiders, there are also the corpses of four players, who apparently died when they went out to open up the wasteland, and some of the remaining players are also more or less injured, it seems that they have gone through a hard battle.
When the players saw that the third wasteland clearing team had returned with the loot, they surrounded them one after another, and they asked about various situations.
Umegawa Kuko was over there and talked about the battle situation when they went out to open up the wasteland, their first two battles were quite good, and there were no casualties, but the third time, there were too many underground spiders drawn out in one breath, but after paying the price of four people killed and many injured, those underground spiders were still repelled, and they were frustrated in the third battle, and they didn't dare to continue to stay at the door of the spider's nest for a long time, after those underground spiders retreated, They hurriedly came back with the loot and the corpses of their companions, those corpses were naturally intended to be resurrected, of course, they could also choose to recreate the characters, but if they recreated the characters, they would have to start accumulating prestige points again, they had been liver for so many days, and they must not be willing to give up the prestige level and start over.
While the players were celebrating, Sherlock went over to heal the wounded and repair the bodies of the dead, and then saw the players begin to disassemble the corpses of the underground spiders. The place they focus on is the spider's belly, not that they are in a hurry to separate the spider meat, but because the last time they saw Sherlock take out a strange metal ball from his stomach, and then took the metal ball to Winterfell for identification, and for these players, it is more like fighting monsters to get special props, and then starting the hidden plot.
Maybe other spiders have similar items in their bodies?
Besides, even if you can't dig up hidden items, everything else on this spider can be exchanged for prestige and rewards! Sherlock has set a price for these things in his heart, such as spider meat, ten kilograms of spider meat can be exchanged for ten points of prestige and ten copper coins, spider legs are also raw materials for making food and forging weapons, one spider leg has ten points of prestige and ten copper coins, as for spider silk, it is an important raw material that can be used to make various props, and at the same time, it can also strengthen weapons, a ball of spider silk can be exchanged for a hundred points of prestige and a hundred copper coins, but the output of spider silk is relatively small, and it depends on luck.
After receiving these things from these players, Sherlock can produce food, and use spider legs and spider silk to make blacksmith Simba make higher-level weapons and equipment, and then sell them to these players, so as to recover metal currency, in order to get better equipment, they can only take on more coolie tasks, or fight more underground spiders to earn money and earn prestige, and realize the virtuous cycle of dungeons!
Those players quickly dissected the eight underground spiders with their hands and feet, put the spider legs on the side and put them on the side, and the spider meat was also cut off and stacked together, as for the spider silk, the output was relatively small.
Sherlock could smell the foul smell coming from these spiders from a distance, but these players didn't have the slightest opinion, and still got into the spiders' stomachs with great interest to see if they could find anything good.
They were busy for a long time, and they didn't get anything good out of the spider's belly, at most it was just the remains of some unknown creatures, after all, it was impossible to be so lucky every time to find valuable treasures from these underground creatures.
Sherlock watched the players count the loot in an orderly manner, thinking that these players would take the loot to their side in exchange for rewards, but after the players finished counting the loot, they didn't rush over, but started the auction, but this auction was for the team.
"Spider legs, the starting price is twenty copper coins!"
The person who presided over the auction was Umegawa Kuko, and after he finished shouting, the players who participated in the third reclamation began to make bids, and it quadrupled in a very open way, and Arthur bought five of them for forty copper coins, and some other local tyrant players, such as Burning Chest Hair, Sakura Palace Cat Demon, and Sylvanas, also bought these spider legs at a high price.
As for those spider meats, some people also bought them, but the prices were not high, and the last auction was spider silk, because the weight of spider silk was not a lump, so the starting price was eighty copper coins, and it didn't take long for it to be fried to the price of three hundred copper coins, and Arthur bought it.
Other players witnessed the first loot auction in Dungeon World from the sidelines, and many players sighed:
"My God, this is really a trench, the price of a copper coin now, let alone ten to twenty yuan, this shot is so much money, it's really impossible to live, I have to hurry up and work hard to join the gold group as soon as possible!" (Gold group, online game terminology, all loot auctions, team evenly distributed)
"The Jin Tuan is not easy to fight, can you fight with the underground spider for two hours without getting hurt? I can't do it anyway. ”
"That's why you have to practice more!"
"Hurry up and move bricks, make more money, my child's primary school tuition, I have earned money by moving bricks in the past few days."
"Don't mention it.,I'm going to wait for this game to be open beta, and I'll resign at home depending on the situation.,Playing games professionally to make money.,Play this game for a few hours.,Earn a lot of copper coins and make a lot of money to work!"
"It's better to forget it as soon as possible, it's the first test now, the player base is small, and copper coins are expensive, you wait for the public beta later, dozens of millions of people will come to play, and the studio will definitely explode when the time comes, do you still expect copper coins to be so expensive? The price is definitely getting cheaper and cheaper, so while there is no public beta now, can you earn a few more! ”
"yes, that's the same thing......"
Those players are talking about it, but Sherlock doesn't understand it, what's going on, what are these players doing? At...... Trading with each other?
Although I have seen these players exchanging currencies with each other before, but at that time Sherlock was not at ease, after all, in Sherlock's opinion, those players are more like helping each other to help a few people get together enough funds to buy weapons and equipment faster, so as to open up the spider's nest, and they did not regard the players' buying and selling of currency as a transaction at all, but now, when Sherlock saw that these players not only began to trade, but even auctioned! After the auction was over, the two dozen or so people who participated in the reclamation began to divide the copper coins from the auction equally.
Those players who bought spider meat came to Sherlock with spider meat to exchange for copper coins and reputation rewards, and their minds Sherlock could still understand that it was the metal currency to exchange for a little more prestige, but those who bought spider legs and spider silk at a high price, Sherlock was a little incomprehensible, did they know the function of these things?
You know, Sherlock plans to use these materials to strengthen the equipment, and then sell them to these players at a high price, so as to recycle the metal currency, keep them in a state of insufficient currency, and motivate them to work hard.
After seeing the players start trading these materials with each other on their own, Sherlock thought about it and decided to ask about the dungeon core of the other world, "Blue".
"Blue, do you know why these players from another world would skip the recycling link I set and trade these items themselves?"
"This is probably stockpiling, after all, Simba seems to have revealed that spider legs and spider silk can make equipment before, and these players have a very fanatical pursuit of equipment."
So says the dungeon "Blue".
Sherlock frowned:
"So, are these players planning to skip me and stock up on their own materials to craft and enhance equipment?"
"That's right, it's actually good to let them exchange materials with each other, anyway, if they want to strengthen their equipment, if they want to make equipment, they have to go to Simba, as long as they set the price on Simba's side, they can also recycle metal currency, in fact, I've been thinking about a good way to speed up the consumption of their metal currency in the past few days." The dungeon core "Blue" said, "How about setting up a level of enhancement for weapons and equipment? ”
"Enhancement layers?" Sherlock wasn't very familiar with otherworldly gameplay, as Blue explained:
"It's that after strengthening the weaponry, add '+1''+'+ behind the panel2' and so on, and at the same time every time we increase the corresponding attack power and defense value, as long as we set the spider legs and spider silk consumed by each strengthening equipment, and then let Simba strengthen these equipment, after a certain number of layers, occasionally you can deliberately smash the weapons and equipment, that is, the failure of the reinforcement equipment, the damage to the weapons and armor, the higher the number of reinforcement layers, the higher the probability of damage to the weapons and equipment, after the weapons and equipment are damaged, we need to buy new equipment, start a new reinforcement, so that the currency we recover can come much faster than simply selling weapons, and we can also use this to add a reward, it's called an Equipment Booster Coupon, and using an Equipment Booster Coupon to enhance equipment can increase the success rate extremely high! And those broken weapon armor, we can also recycle it, reforge it into weapon armor, and then return it to sell to players! ”
After Blue finished speaking, Sherlock also understood that Blue's method was really wonderful, which greatly increased the consumption of metal currency for players, plus the recycling of weapon armor, and there would be no waste of diamond raw materials.
Sherlock soon accepted Blue's suggestion and summoned Simba, the blacksmith, to the dungeon's core hall to discuss the matter.
After Simba came, Sherlock followed Simba to talk about the equipment enhancement, and asked Simba to hang a new sign at the door of the blacksmith shop - [Equipment Enhancement], and marked the price of each enhancement of equipment, and the number of spider silk and spider legs required for each layer of reinforcement should also be increased layer by layer, and with each layer of improvement, the probability of reinforcement failure will increase, this increase of course depends on Simba's own mood, and also depends on whether the players are happy.
Although the blacksmith Simba is very strange, I don't understand why the lord makes it so troublesome to strengthen the equipment, but the lord is the boss, and the blacksmith Simba will do the same, and soon, Simba's [equipment enhancement] brand will be hung out, currently relying on spider silk and spider legs, the maximum enhancement can only be strengthened five times, so the number of layers that set the enhancement failure is on the third layer, that is, after the players have strengthened it three times, if they want to strengthen the equipment, there is a probability that the equipment armor will be damaged.
When the sign of [Equipment Enhancement] was hung out, a player on the side found out for the first time, and rushed to the players who were still sharing the money like a mad dog, and shouted:
"! The dog has planned a booster gear! ”
