Chapter 50: Plan Ahead
Because of the sudden update announcement, the six brothers of the Gods Working Group returned to Beach City one after another to gather. It's past 8 p.m. and it's 5 hours until 1 a.m. Although there is still a lot of time, the sudden update made several of them feel a little uneasy, after all, the convenience brought by the epic pet trainer profession is too great!
It's only been two or three days since the server was launched, and the first update is about to be ushered in.,Anyone will associate the reason for the update with the sudden occupation of the leaderboard by a few brothers in the working group.。 I don't know what others think, anyway, the six guys of the gods are as anxious as ants on a hot pot now!
"I said, this update shouldn't be specific to the fourth, right?" Cheng Bing has just transferred to Shield Warfare, and his image is completely different from before. Shield warfare, as the name suggests, is a warrior who uses a shield, and other weapons have no meaning. At present, Cheng Bing is carrying a giant wooden shield that can be used as both armor and weapons behind his back. The attack method used in battle is to smash with a shield, and it seems that there is also a new skill called "Shield Strike", which deals damage to enemies with × strength of 2 and can also temporarily stun them for 1 second. However, the cooldown takes 5 seconds and cannot be used consecutively.
"It's very likely!" Lu Jie looked at the Heavenly Master's robe taken out by the epic on the side, his face was full of depression, "After all, the pets brought by the six of us are too strong, and the monster farming, PK, and boss killing are all technical." No matter what happens, everything is OK as soon as the pet is on, and it is no different from cheating! I feel that this update will either disqualify other people from bringing their pets, or limit their abilities! When will transgender services come out? It's very depressing that I can't wear the first new clothes in the whole server! ”
"Transgender services don't even think about it, it's never going to come out!" Zhou Jin shook his head beside him, "This game is the synchronization of identity data binding, and the fourth child is the only exception!" It is impossible for the game to eliminate the qualification of other players to bring pets except for pet trainers, and the pet system is also an important point of play! However, it is possible to limit the abilities of pets, such as how many levels of pets the player can carry, or setting level restrictions for various powerful pets! ”
"Then if the carrying level is limited, the True Half-Beast Warrior and the Half-Beast Commander and the like can't bring it at all without level 50, right?" Cheng Bing said worriedly, "What can I do then?" ”
"What's there to worry about, the mini-bosses and elite monsters around level 20 are also good!" Epic wasn't worried about that, "No matter what, we're always going to have an advantage over the other players!" Actually, I'm worried that this update will limit the range of pets that can be captured......"
"If that's the case, it will be miserable!" Situ Fei shouted next to him, "Then what should we do?" If both the boss and the elite are limited and can only catch wild monsters, there will be no strong pets! ”
"Actually, I think as long as the fourth child's profession is not harmonious, there is no need to worry about pets or anything!" Sun Bingyi also came over, "Even if we can only bring wild monsters, the level is very strong, isn't it?" It's just that there is no boss pet against the sky! Speaking of which, what I'm more worried about is the exchange of in-game currency! In the past two days, the game currency has been hyped to a very high price, and a large part of it is because of studios like us, or even larger than us. Cracking down on money farming studios has always been a top priority for game companies, and if this update is to crack down on prices, then we will lose a lot of money! ”
"Damn! How did I not think of that? Cheng Bing suddenly realized, "Although it's not certain that the game company reacted so quickly, it's always right to be prepared!" ”
"So what should we do?" Epic traded Flame Walmart pet eggs to Situ Fei, and then traded blessing oil and ruby ring to Zhou Jin, and memory helmet and death glove to Cheng Bing.
"Before the update, buy materials and hoard them aggressively!" Zhou Jin thought for a moment and spoke.
"That's not right! If the game company wants to suppress prices, we should sell all the items as soon as possible, and then exchange the gold coins we earn for RMB! Lu Jie wondered.
"We do have to exchange the gold coins we earn for RMB as soon as possible, but at the same time, we must stock up on enough materials!" Zhou Jin looked at everyone seriously, "Game currency will indeed depreciate due to the strategy of the game company, but the material can never depreciate!" In addition, we buy a large number of copper at the lowest price of 1 copper each, and even if it depreciates, we will not lose money! In fact, when the value of the game currency depreciates, the price of materials and props will rise! ”
"Why?" Situ Fei asked curiously.
"When the value of the game currency decreases, it means that its purchasing power has decreased. For example, if a weapon sells for 1 silver coin, 1 silver coin is equal to 10 yuan at the current price. And the price of this weapon is exactly 10 yuan; After the depreciation of the game currency, maybe only 5 yuan is left for 1 silver coin, but the weapon can still be sold for 10 yuan, which means that it costs 2 silver coins to buy 1 weapon now! At this stage, in-game currency is inherently difficult to obtain, and players often don't have extra in-game currency to buy this weapon. So what to do? They will take the way of offline RMB transactions to buy, but when there is more demand, the price of weapons will also go up! When the time comes, it is not impossible for 10 yuan to become 15 yuan or 20 yuan! It's the same with materials! Zhou Jin patiently explained.
"But wouldn't that be more beneficial to a money-making studio like ours?" Sun Bingyi said strangely.
"It's impossible for game companies to let the studio loot the money that belongs to them, so they will definitely come up with a strategy to recoup funds to suppress the studio!" Cheng Bing frowned and added, "But what the specific means are, so far we can't guess!" ”
"That's maybe just us thinking too much, this update may be a fix for a small bug!" Situ Fei touched his chin.
"I hope so!" Zhou Jin nodded and thought about it cautiously, "But we still have to make preparations!" I suggest that in the remaining 5 hours, everyone should clear the items in the inventory as quickly as possible and sell them, and then hang the gold coins on the online store. Plus, buy all the materials and hoard them until the warehouse and backpack are full! You don't need it, fourth, isn't there an auction center in the city? Your mission is to catch as many monster pets as you can and put them in the auction center to exchange them for gold! Brothers, it's all small money here, and the real big heads are all there! Anyway, the ones who can afford pets right now are NPCs, and we don't have to worry about capital enemies! Even if there are other big guilds that take away pets, aren't you just a pet trainer in the whole server? If the pet is injured, only you can use it to heal the pet, and only you can resurrect the pet when the pet dies, and the guild that is against us will regret it sooner or later if you buy the pet! ”
"The official website of this update has not yet been released, so our guess may not be accurate! But since we're here to make money, we have to be careful! Cheng Bing nodded and said, "The second brother's words are very clear, whether the update has anything to do with us or not, we must do all the preparations before that!" The fourth child brought back a Walmart horn this time, this is the will of heaven! Before the game is updated, we will make a lot of money, and tomorrow we will create a guild to have a powerful server! These 100 gold coins, more than 100,000 yuan is a huge amount of money, maybe the brothers are reluctant. But I tell you, there is something to give! What is 100 gold coins? We will become the number one guild in the country, and when the fourth child kills the Zuma sect leader, with the Zuma statue, we will be the first Shabak occupants in the country! The weekly tax of Shabak City is 500 gold coins, which is 500,000 yuan! Of course, there is a possibility that the game currency will depreciate after the update, so there will be at least 50,000 or 60,000, right? 5, 60,000 a week, 20 to 240,000 a month! If an ordinary guild wants to kill the Zuma Sect Master, it will take at least 3 months to level up, play equipment, and gather people, and during this time, we can get more than 60 to 700,000 yuan just by relying on taxes! Brothers, with the fourth's pet support army, even if the members recruited in the future each bring a lowest-level wild monster, can other guilds beat us? Can someone snatch Shabak from us? We can be millionaires, it's not a dream! "Legend Reappearance" is the stage that brings us to the top! ”
The more Cheng Bing spoke, the more excited he became, and the other five brothers naturally seemed to see a bright future. As a result, there was no opposition, and everyone quickly entered the mode of accumulating money by dividing their labor, and no one would stop to rest before the update......
At 0:50 a.m., the game was shut down on time and went into maintenance. 5 hours of sleepless to collect money at full speed, hoarded a large number of materials, and sold equipment, props, medicines, and took out 100 gold coins from the auction of pets, and the rest actually had more than 100 gold coins, of which nearly 160 gold coins were obtained from the epic auction of pets. The nail rake Elvis sold for 300,000 beyond imagination, and the remaining scorpions and a large number of wild monsters captured after the epic were sold for a total of 130 gold coins. 100 gold coins were placed overnight, and in less than 1 hour, they were snapped up by local tyrants from all walks of life at a price of 15 yuan per silver coin, and the studio earned a huge sum of 150,000 yuan. It's just that after fighting all night, they were too tired, and after confirming that the gold coins were sold out, the brothers didn't have time to cheer and celebrate, so they huddled into a pile on the bed and fell asleep.
