Chapter 622: Departure Again
August 15 is a delicate day that doesn't mean anything special when you think about it. Duxiao Frostlin sent an email to Alvin, telling him that the cooperation with several guilds had been negotiated, and that the other party was willing to pay for the epic materials and let Alvin build equipment for them, after all, for those guilds in the second echelon, this is the most reliable way to obtain epic equipment. On top of that, these people are also very interested in the large amount of legendary equipment that the party now has in surplus, but they prefer to settle in real-life currency.
By the time the game has been carried out, the price of gold coins has fallen to more than ten yuan, and the purchasing power of real money in the game will increase several times. For this condition, Alvin finally agreed, after all, it is not realistic to want to exchange legendary equipment for epic materials, and the demand for other things in the adventure group is not high, it is better to trade it directly into real currency, although the purchasing power has been reduced several times, but after all, people are creatures living in the real world, especially most of the adventure group are in their twenties, which is the age when they need to spend money the most, which aspect of falling in love, getting married, and having a baby does not need money as a backing? No one dares to say that it is enough to rely on salary alone, and it is a good way to increase the enthusiasm of everyone by opening a part of the points to exchange for cash, at least, to make everyone feel more at ease.
After all, they all came from hard times. Although the 21st century has passed halfway, the life of professional gamers is still not easy, and the exchange ratio of ten to one does not seem high, but this is already a fantastic price in virtual online games! This means that if there are ten players who buy gear entirely with cash, they can feed one pro gamer. Of course, the actual situation cannot be like this, most players can actually be self-sufficient in the game, and most of the people who want to spend money are the kind of local tyrant players who want to be superior, or simply a profit-making organization that intends to engage in eyeball economy, so the players who can really rely on online games for a living, among a thousand people, there are so many who come to an end, and among them, remove the fallen grandfather who relies on speculation and drilling, remove the gold workers of the big guild, and there may not be one in a thousand people who are becoming professional players according to their own wishes! And that's it, there is still a very serious polarization among these people, most of them have low incomes, and only a few of them are able to live above average with their in-game income.
In fact, most of the players in the party have lived that kind of life worrying about water and electricity, after all, this kind of thing is difficult to get the support of others, and becoming a professional gamer is not just a matter of playing games!
With the economic problems out of the way, the next thing to face is the battle. Heloise's notice has arrived, and next, everyone is going to open up another piece of land! This time, the notice came in a hurry, and even Alvin's skills had just cooled down, and the time could not be tighter. And there's a reason for that.
The few guilds that entered the inner area of the Lost Lands together fell out.
In fact, it's not appropriate to say that it's a falling out, originally these forces are in a competitive relationship, and they choose to cooperate just for the sake of the other party, a powerful enemy, and now that Helover is dead, everyone has also gained a firm foothold in the inner area, and the soil for cooperation is of course gone. Coupled with the fact that Smodi and others were dissatisfied with the distribution of the spoils, of course, there was a gap in everyone's cooperation, but in the past few days, the major forces were concentrating on seizing the land, and of course no one would pick quarrels and provoke trouble. And now that the land has basically been allocated, and the areas occupied by all parties have bordered, it is of course impossible for the guilds to be in harmony with each other at this time.
After tearing their faces, the nine forces were temporarily divided into three forces. One is an alliance of DMC, Link Light, and another guild, with the Adventure Party as the core. One is the other two guilds united by Smodi. In the end, the remaining two are considered intermediate forces, but because of the strength of the adventure group, there is a faint tendency to balance the adventure group by supporting Smodi and others.
Because of geographical factors and other factors, there is a difference in the direction of the two sides' next direction, Smodi and others are going to a land separated by a bottomless abyss, but what Alvin and others want is a "continent" floating in the air. Although the direction of Alvin and the others is to go closer through the core area, how to set foot on this continent is undoubtedly a huge problem.
It is said that a huge suspension bridge was built on the side of Smodi and others, but the two pieces of land on the side of Alvin and others are thousands of meters apart, and it is obviously impossible to use the same method. Another choice for everyone was teleportation, but according to the investigation of Duxiao Frostlin and others, there was no node that could build a teleportation array on the coast of the land opposite. Therefore, there is only one last choice left for everyone, and that is the most unreliable choice - fly over!
If you want to transport hundreds of thousands of players over a distance of thousands of meters, it is obviously not possible to transport a vehicle that is too small, and at least thousands of people need to be transported at one time. Alvin originally thought that this would be a difficult problem that people didn't know where to start, but unexpectedly, as soon as he decided on this method, someone came up with a strategy.
"Master Leo, you said you had studied the creation of flying machines before?" Alvin looked at the old engineer with a messy head of gray hair in surprise.
"It's not a research, it's always stuck in the stage of small devices, and a lot of data is not up to standard, and it's still far from the results that can really be put into use." Leo said.
"It doesn't matter." Alvin said, "We just want a manned tool, not too fast, the endurance requirements are not high, let's study a little longer, we should be able to find a way." ”
"Hmm......" Leo nodded, Alvin made sense, if it was just used as a ferry, there were indeed many technical difficulties that could be bypassed, but it was not impossible to try.
If you have an idea, you have to put it into practice, the players of Link Light carry materials with them when they march, and under the command of Leo, the engineers quickly got into action, and even Alvin and Lele were captured as coolies. With the construction of the airship, Alvin clearly felt that Leo was not as inexperienced as he said, and he had prepared solutions to many key problems in advance. Alvin speculated that the other party probably conducted a large number of simulation experiments on the basis of theoretical research, but it was only due to the limitations of materials that they were unable to create this thing. And now, this aspect is clearly no longer there.
