Chapter 64, Taizhou City

The Taizhou City, with a radius of more than 200 square kilometers, stands like a sleeping lion on the land of China in "Drawing the Sword". The majestic city wall that stretches for sixty or seventy kilometers is in the shape of a "mouth", which firmly protects the city of Taizhou.

Like most cities in the game, Taizhou City has four gates: "Southeast, Northwest"; Near each city gate, there is a huge teleportation array.

These teleportation arrays are important transportation hubs between cities, as well as a teleportation point for the return scrolls, as well as a foothold for players to teleport from the novice village to the city.

At the west gate of Taizhou City, thousands of players shuttle back and forth on West Street, a bustling and prosperous scene. Among the players who come and go, there are also many dignified city guards; Obviously, if anyone dares to stir up trouble in the city, these guards will not be just decorations.

The teleportation array of the West Gate was constantly flashing with shuttle light, and it was obvious that many players were constantly teleporting from the major novice villages. Generally speaking, there should only be players teleported from the Novice Village, and not players from other cities.

"Taizhou City West." Li Bing stood beside the huge teleportation array, looked at the four huge characters carved on the teleportation array, and immediately understood-he was unlucky, he couldn't get into a city with the three friends in the dormitory.

The novice village teleports to the city, and the specific city to which it will be teleported to is not actually chosen by the player himself, but randomly assigned by the system.

Whichever city is assigned to, it is which. There was a nest of four people in Li Bing's bedroom, except for the eldest Xu Mo and the second Wang returnee, who were assigned to a city, the others were not able to be separated.

One of the great things about this is that it's quite effective in preventing some players from relying on their connections in real life or in other games to form a large group at the beginning of the game to bully other unorganized players.

Of course, that's not to say you can't gang up early in the game.

If you want to form a gang, you can, there are two ways to go. The first way is to throw money at it, use RMB to buy gold coins with other players, and then rely on these gold coins to pull up a force in your own city; The second way is to let your friends teleport from other cities - the teleportation array in the novice village can't choose the teleportation location independently, but the teleportation array in the city can!

"Damn, such a black heart, blacker than cutting cakes!" Li Bing looked at the price catalogue uploaded by the teleportation array to other cities, and couldn't help but curse the system's black heart - according to the distance of the city, the nearest city would cost a thousand gold coins to teleport to; In the farthest city, the asking price is as high as 5,000 gold coins.

5,000 gold coins, that's 15,000 yuan! Even if a month later, the exchange of RMB for gold coins will be opened, and it will cost 5,000 RMB!

Li Bing, who had fully realized the value of gold coins, couldn't help but scold the black heart of the system in his heart.

How can you do it if it's not dark? If it's not black, how can a game company make money? Although the masterbrain system completely constructs this game world by itself, it is certain that when the game company made the masterbrain system, it must have carved the word "making money" into the core part of the masterbrain for a long time.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

If it weren't for the purpose of making money, would it be possible for Longteng Company to be idle and have nothing to do, and deliberately develop a cross-era game for the well-being of the masses?

Is it possible?

The price of using the teleportation array tells you plainly, obviously it is impossible.

Therefore, players want to form a gang to develop their power in the early stage of the game, saying that there are two choices, but in fact, these two choices are one choice in the final analysis, that is, - throwing money!

"What a black game company!" When he was in the novice village, Li Bing didn't feel anything. But now that I know the exchange ratio of gold coins and RMB, and as soon as I entered the city, I saw the price of the teleportation array, so I naturally had to scold the game company for being black-hearted.

But what can you do with a black heart? All over the world, as far as "Draw the Knife" is a holographic game, you have to play it if you don't play it, and you have to play it. Just a game helmet will cost you a lot of silver; How can other items in the game not hack your money?

In fact, many players, even though they know that the game "Draw the Knife" is very black, but after seeing the allure of holographic technology, they are rushing to the game.

Of course, there are quite a few things in the game that are black, such as teleportation arrays; But there are also a lot of places where you can make money. With the right work, players can even earn money from the game.

Of course, being a professional gamer and making money from the game will never be easy.

It may be easier for players to earn money from other players in the game, but if you want to earn money from the system by fighting monsters and exploding gold coins, it will be difficult to reach the sky! After all, earning players' money can be said to stimulate domestic demand to promote consumption, and to earn money from the system, that is, to compete with Longteng Company! Will Longteng be willing?

And then a system prompt let Li Bing know that it was almost impossible to make money by fighting monsters and popping gold coins.

"Dear players, welcome to the overworld of Draw the Knife game. From this moment on, you can finally truly gallop in this vast and majestic virtual world, and achieve your prestige all over the land of China and even the world. All you have to pay for is two silver coins per minute! Come, warriors, fight! ”

This system prompt is written with a head and a brain, but the central idea is only a few words - pro, start charging!

Sure enough, the next second after receiving the system prompt, Li Bing saw that he was missing two silver coins - less than a minute, and the price was calculated as one minute.

"What a pit!" Two silver coins a minute is 1.2 gold coins in an hour, and the value of gold coins in a month is 2 an hour a piece.

A piece of two for an hour, in fact, is not expensive; Moreover, players can make money from playing treasure in the game, even if they don't charge RMB, they can barely pay some card money.

However, if you don't play with RMB, it's basically doomed - this player can only be a civilian. Unless he's extremely lucky, he picks up the best equipment to fight monsters.

However, the main brain system is not very dark, so it only charges when the player plays online, and when you quit the game, or you are offline and hang-up, you don't need to pay some card money.

This approach seems to give those unlucky non-RMB players a last way to survive - if they don't want to recharge their money, then set up a stall and sell iron to make money!

Therefore, after Li Bing left the teleportation array, he saw the "endless" stalls on both sides of the West Street of Taizhou City.

However, I didn't say that "this practice gives those unlucky non-RMB players a last way to live", but that "this practice 'seems' to give those unlucky non-RMB players a last way to live", and there is a reason.
