68. Second-hand book market
Because he doesn't love sports very much, and he doesn't have any sports that he is particularly good at, the various sports venues in the school basically have nothing to do with Yao Yayao.
In addition to being able to read, Yao Yayao is almost nothing good at it, and he is a very standard nerd. The only sports he knows are occasionally getting up early to go for a run on campus and watching beautiful alumni passing by.
With him, Yao Yayao rarely visited the location of the corresponding sports venue in the game world of "Magic University". Naturally, in the game world, most of them have been transformed into ponds, lakes, market areas, etc.
There are five large playgrounds in the school of Xiannan University of Technology, and four of the smaller ones have become free stalls for four local gamers in the game world. All online games have a dedicated booth area, and Magic High School is no exception.
The largest playground in the game world has been transformed into a place similar to the ancient martial arts arena, where there are some stone locks, stone pillars, eighteen weapon item racks and the like.
At this time, Yao Yayao was in one of the market areas, strolling around very casually. According to Mr. Fan, there is an area where there is a bazaar for the sale of all kinds of second-hand books.
Soon he was disappointed, because he found that most of the things that were sold here were game props and the like. What kind of return to the city charm, instant red, instant blue potions, transformation charms, special clothing appearance equipment, and various teleportation props and so on. No one is selling the game gear and weapons on the characters, as they are all tied to each other and players cannot trade with each other.
However, some vanity equipment that can change the appearance of the character and does not have offensive or defensive attributes attached can be sold at stalls. These fashions are also particularly exquisitely made, quite in the style of the ancient Tang and Song dynasties. Especially the ancient fashion of those girls, worn by female players, is even more charming. They are very eye-catching when they are swaggering through the market.
Yao Yayao walked around for a long time, but he didn't find anyone selling second-hand books.
Soon he came to his senses: there are four such public stall areas in the city. I guess it's in a separate stall area.
So he went to another stall area. Its location is easy to find, according to the direction of another large playground on the real campus, just follow the map.
Yao Yayao was disappointed again, and he couldn't find the second-hand book he was looking for here. However, there are a large number of brothers and sisters here, selling all kinds of daily necessities on campus. For example, what thermos cups, paper towels, pen and ink paper, towels, slippers, shampoo, all kinds of delicious food and the like. This is simply a typical "all-you-can-eat" small life supermarket!
Click on each booth to see a variety of physical pictures, prices, and so on. Of course, you can also see the gamer's mobile phone number and contact information such as the dormitory number. Many sellers are also very caring to deliver the items to the buyer's bedroom. Naturally, deliveries are generally made in the evening after school.
This special stall area is probably only for on-campus students, right?!
Yao Yayao has not yet tried to set up a stall, but he sees that all the stall owners are all classmates from all grades in his school. I guess gamers can't go across schools to set up stalls in other universities, right?
According to the rules of the game in this game, players can casually cross the domain to other university towns, and there is a great risk of being beaten by local players in other cities. Generally, visitors can only be visited in tourist mode. The tourist mode does not support PK brawls, nor does it support the stall function.
Naturally, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. This kind of rule can't help but be a college student who likes to be a merchant in a big game. Who doesn't have a high school classmate who went to another university! You can't set up a stall across the school, just find your own high school classmates and set up a stall on your behalf!
Most of the things in this stall area are of good quality and low price, and there are all kinds of grades. Most of them are daily necessities that college students urgently need every day. They can be traded for in-game gold and silver, as well as for cash.
Yao Yayao suddenly hated himself a little, why didn't he come over earlier to learn about the daily necessities stall area in this game!
You know, the variety of things sold here is cheaper than the limited number of grocery stores and small supermarkets on campus. If you had come here earlier to buy something, you wouldn't have to spend so much money in the campus store.
For example, Yao Yayao saw that the shampoo of a certain brand he was using was 1.5 yuan cheaper than the price in the school commissary.
There are a lot of shady things about the grocery store and the various franchise stores in the school. Due to the huge flow of students on campus, merchants who want to get the right to operate these small number of stores have to pay a lot of money every year. Of course, the wool comes from the sheep, and the high cost of the secret paid by the merchants to get through the relationship is often passed on to the students.
Many of the shops in the school sell things that are even slightly more expensive than those outside the school.
Some school administrators, who are short-sighted and greedy, never imagined that students would leave the school with a "grateful heart" after suffering such unfair treatment during their time at school. After such a student becomes famous in the future, how much personal wealth will he be willing to actively donate to his alma mater to give back his "grateful heart"?!
It is said that the price of all the goods sold on campus is only half of that of off-campus on average. This kind of small means of half-charity and half-sale has gathered the gratitude of a large number of students in school.
Of course, they are not stupid, and what they end up with is a particularly large amount of unpaid donations from former alumni every year. If this is "fishing law enforcement", then it is undoubtedly a very clever way to "cast a long line to catch big fish".
For alumni, especially older ones, college time is the most precious and important period of their life. College life is an indelible mark on a person's life. Those beautiful and special youth experiences can not only be engraved in the heart and remain in the memory, but also must be connected with specific buildings or places such as dormitories, libraries, classrooms, canteens, stadiums, swimming pools, running tracks, and even every plant and tree on campus. The university knows how to carefully maintain the campus career experience of countless alumni in college, takes seriously the emotional carrier of each graduate's personal memory, and at the same time continues to consolidate the inheritance of campus culture from generation to generation.
The Buddha said that whatever you sow, you will bear fruit, that is inevitable. Good causes naturally have good results, and evil causes have evil consequences.
How to achieve fame and fortune, many principals in Tianxia Kingdom need to continue to figure out and learn from their foreign counterparts, and there are too many. It is said that the top 30 universities in Tianxia with the largest alumni donations in the country have received far less than the total amount of alumni donations received over the years.
30 colleges and universities have received more alumni donations than others?! Why is the famous saying "more people are stronger" invalid in the field of alumni donations?! Education is not just about imparting knowledge, it is about being taught, and it is about being passed down from generation to generation.
Unfortunately, there are too many school administrators who never know how to be accountable to the people at the top, but not to the people below. As a result, many beautiful campuses are just on the surface. They lack nothing but the warmth of humanity.
Yao Yayao stayed in this stall area for a long time. He picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the prices of some of the items he was interested in, as well as the contact information of the stall owner. There are some things that are cheaper than the famous "all-you-can-eat" shopping site. All the goods arrived immediately on campus on the same day, which is incomparable to shopping websites.
I can't imagine that a small stall area in an online game can also become a convenient way for many college students to sell things part-time to earn some living expenses. The modern Internet has really given people too many surprises in life!
Reluctantly left the area, Yao Yayao went to the third stall area.
This time, he finally got his wish to the legendary "second-hand book tick market": all the stall owners, without exception, were selling books, all kinds of science and leisure books.
