Chapter 56: Five Cities

Elephants don't care about ants, Cangyue Tears said unintentionally, but it caused Shen Qingming to think deeply.

From a certain point of view, Zhou Mo and Su Mo can both be regarded as elephants, Zhou Mo has great energy in the current game circle, and Su Mo controls the world beyond the sun. If the two of them want to get rid of themselves, it is easier than an elephant raising his foot and stepping on an ant, even if he can really pull the Inhuman Pavilion and the support club to fight against them, the chance of victory is still slim after all.

There is a huge disparity in strength, can you really succeed? This was the first time that Shen Qingming had doubts about himself.

Cangyue Tears didn't notice that Shen Qingming was not in a state, and continued to talk eloquently: "Now the Chengfeng Division has expanded its transportation business to every corner of the game world, whether it is the current most difficult ruins or the calm Taoyuan Village, every map has a post station of the Chengfeng Division. ”

Shen Qingming let out an absent-minded sigh.

"The most powerful point is that Chengfeng Si spent a lot of money to poach several high-level officials from the bus system, and specially invited them to go to Pesticide 2 to inspect the terrain and formulate the traffic route for each map." Cangyue tears said, "The road we are taking now is the best route from Taoyuan Village to Chang'an." ”

"Very business-minded indeed." Shen Qingming said, "There are smart people in this Wind Riding Division. ”

Cangyue said with tears: "Of course, the optimized transportation route is fast and safe, and the time for each round trip is more than half an hour less than before." Moreover, the higher the quality of the route, the higher the charge, and the best route we are on is 20% more expensive than the other routes. ”

Shen Qingming shook his head: "I don't mean this. ”

Cangyue tearfully asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

"Monopoly, I mean monopoly." Shen Qingming said, "As long as you can monopolize the public transportation field in the game, it doesn't matter how much money Chengfeng makes - as long as you can maintain a monopoly position, even if Chengfeng Division has been losing money, it is completely acceptable." ”

Cangyue Tears didn't believe him, and whispered: "How can anyone in the world do a loss-making business.....

"The monopoly of the Chengfeng Division is a hole card for the Grand Guild to deal with the official." Shen Qingming said seriously, "Teacher Cang, imagine what would happen if the interests of the big guilds behind the Chengfeng Division were damaged due to some adjustments to the game's officials, and the big guilds manipulated the Chengfeng Division to shut down and strike in protest?" ”

Cangyue thought for a moment and said: "Players lose the convenient means of transportation they take every day, their action efficiency decreases, and then they have to spend more time doing tasks, which means that the player's online time is extended, and the official can sell more game point cards?" The grand guilds courted the official in this way, and in order to win the official mercy of the game? ”

Shen Qingming said: "Wrong, it's a demonstration." They can divert the anger of the closure of the Wind Division to the unfavorable changes made by the officials, forcing the game officials to bow their heads to them. ”

"What if the official doesn't eat this set?" Cangyue tears said, "What if the Glory official improved the in-game bus system at any cost in order to get rid of the coercion of the Wind Division? ”

"It doesn't matter. These grand guilds have proven their power enough to influence the proper functioning of the entire game. Shen Qingming said, "If you want the game to run normally, the game official needs to get the assistance of these big guilds." In return, the guilds are given some benefits, such as rare resources, extra permissions, money, beauty, etc. - this is the deal between them. ”

Cangyue Tears was shocked by Shen Qingming's inference, and held back for a long time before saying a sentence: "I didn't expect the high-flying TX official to please the guild in the game, the water behind this is too deep, right?"

Shen Qingming stretched his waist and said, "These are just speculations without evidence, just pass the long travel time, don't take it seriously, Teacher Cang." ”

"That's good, that's good." Cangyue sighed and said, "I really thought that there was such darkness behind this game." ”

It's much darker than what I said, Shen Qingmingxin said that many big guilds have the support of the gold lord behind them, and the big guilds in the game who show off their power are just tools for them to make huge profits in the eyes of the gold lord. Once a tool loses its usefulness, it is quickly thrown aside and left to fend for itself.

What the big guilds mention every day about family, unity, glory, and righteousness, it is not worth mentioning in the face of money. The invincible high-end players in these games are nothing more than a bunch of stupid dogs who can use VR2 simulation cabins in the tears of the gold owner's father.

A few years ago, when Shen Qingming was in high spirits and won the award, he was fortunate to be invited to a dinner held by several e-sports club owners. In the eyes of those bigbosses, Shen Qingming, who has been called a genius by countless media, is a puppet that can eat, drink and pant, but Shen Qingming is more popular than other dolls.

After all these years, I wonder if they have found a better doll?

"We're in Chang'an." Cangyue tears gently nudged him, pulling Shen Qingming back to reality from his memories.

Shen Qingming got out of the carriage, and the system prompt immediately sounded in his ears: Welcome to Chang'an Wangcheng!

Chang'an Wangcheng is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been 3,200 years since it was built. Chang'an Wangcheng covers an area of 870,000 square kilometers, with 250,000 resident NPCs, divided into six districts, eight halls and twelve floors.

Among them, Weiyang District belongs to the royal forbidden land, ordinary players are not allowed to enter, unauthorized trespassing will be attacked by the forbidden land guards, according to legend, the miracle of the ark left by the ancient gods, is buried in the underground of Weiyang District.

There are nearly 100,000 registered player shops in the Yanta District, and there are countless player shops that are not registered. In order to facilitate management, the system has subdivided the Yanta District into 15 squares, each of which has its own type of goods, and the system will not charge taxes on the transactions of specific goods sold in the square.

For example, the Hanging Pot Workshop specializes in medicines and medicinal materials, the Xuangang Workshop specializes in weapons and armor made of iron and steel, the Xuanshang Workshop specializes in cloth armor and leather armor, and the Lizhu Workshop specializes in various materials and props for strengthening equipment.

And the place where Cangyue Tears wants to take Shen Qingming is Wushifang, which is dedicated to the business of major auction houses. There are not only five auction houses, but because it is close to five shopping houses, it is located in the golden area of the entire Yanta District, and it is the most accessible of the fifteen squares.

"Five Cities." Cangyue tearfully pointed to the archway at the entrance of the market and said, "This is a holy place for trading, as long as you have money, you can buy everything you want." ”

"Everything?"

Cangyue Tears said: "Everything - whether it is equipment, props, materials, mounts, alien beasts, status, glory, dignity, dreams. You can buy them all here, as long as you have enough money. ”
