Chapter 248: Profit
The red-eyed gambler Kanaz: "Sir, lend me 5 silver coins first, and I will pay you back tomorrow." ”
System prompt: Do you lend him two silver coins?
Lu Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment when he saw this prompt, it was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing, so he thought about it and refused. After refusing, he clicked on Kanaz again, and the system still popped up this kind of borrowing money prompt - it seems that it can't be skipped.
The gambler's promise is not to be trusted, let alone with this guy, if this is the reality he will never take risks, but in the game it may be something interesting.
Lu Xiaofeng chose to agree this time.
After paying the money, the conversation continued, and the red-eye card gambler Kanaz said: "As long as I win this bet, I can turn the book." ”
"Oh, what are you doing? I don't seem to have seen your companion (gambler). ”
Kanaz smiled: "Hahaha, I am not a worldly gambler, you must know that my opponent is fate now. ”
“…… Is it? If you can, can you tell me what you're doing? ”
"Well, sir, for your generous sake, and it's not a big secret." Kanaz said, "Do you see the magic spring next to me?" ”
"Yes, I see it."
"Don't look at it as a spring, it's actually a mysterious magic furnace, sometimes it will give us a chance to improve our equipment, but because of its mystery, maybe your equipment is still so weird." At this point, Kanaz paused for a long time, and seemed to remember something. Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to click on the dialogue, and this guy continued to speak:
"This magical gift was brought to us by the mysterious elf, we don't know where he came from or where he came from, maybe you have seen the elf near the auction house, his name is Miani. If you want to deal with him, you have to put up with his arrogance. ”
That's the end of the conversation with Kanaz the Gambler, but he leads to another NPC. However, Lu Xiaofeng knew that the 5Y loan would definitely not be recovered.
He arrived at the door of the auction house, saw the elf Miani, and clicked on the conversation.
The elf said, "Human, what's the matter with you?" ”
"I heard you're the master of the Mystic Forge Furnace?"
"Obviously."
"That's great, I heard it can give me a better gear?"
"Hehehe." The elf laughed, "That's not bad, your stuff might get even more powerful in the Mystic Forge Forge but I have to warn you beforehand: you might get something very powerful, or you might get a junk ......"
“…… What does that mean? ”
As the conversation progressed, Lu Xiaofeng saw more and more information. To put it simply, this mysterious forge is a random synthesizer that throws four compatible items into it and leaves it to fate, but thankfully it will return an item to the player in return, but the results are often unpredictable.
Something spawned by a mysterious forge doesn't have to be unique, it could be an item sold by an NPC, or a drop from some monster. Regardless of the outcome of the forge, though, it shows that it's a game...... Well, in fact, it is gambling, and everything stems from the word character.
One of the most attractive things is: The Mystic Forge will have a certain chance to upgrade the level of equipment, such as the synthesis of four pieces of green equipment, and it is possible to get a bright gold piece of equipment, which is obviously the biggest charm of gambling!
When Lu Xiaofeng found out about this. With a blast of his brain, he realized that the era of the popularization of bright gold equipment had come, because no matter how small the odds were. Whenever possible, enthusiastic players will trade quantity for quality, although it is likely that a large amount of green clothing will be consumed to get a bright gold outfit, or perhaps the cost of consumption will be enough to buy two bright gold outfits.
But people always trust their luck first.
Lu Xiaofeng is digesting this news, in fact, he has realized that with the gradual increase of the level, there are more and more ways to obtain high-level equipment in the game, such as in the 20+ map, the golden boss has become more common, unlike the 20-map golden boss is a rare thing, and the result of the increase in the number of golden bosses is the increase in the amount of bright gold equipment. For example, in the Hall of the Hunter King in the Siva Mountains, there is a way to buy bright gold equipment by farming friendship, and this way will inevitably increase in the game.
Lu Xiaofeng thought again that if the player had not discovered the hidden clues of Pearl Island. So if you want to enter the Lion's Arch, according to the normal way, you should be at player level 30+, and complete the dynamic quest of "Protecting Crab Eggs" and be sent in by the NPCs there, that is to say, level 30 is the era of the great popularity of bright gold equipment.
But now it seems that this era has come in advance, Lu Xiaofeng can't help but be a little complacent, everything is his own credit.
However, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive while being proud, as if his advanced behavior, according to the more fashionable words, shortened the life of the game, and led an era, will it be officially banned?
But this is the clue given in the game, and I entered it legally, so the official plan to enter the era of bright colors in advance is also premeditated? So what are they doing this for? Will there be an illustrative result?
Lu Xiaofeng continued to think about it, it is true that the popularization of high-end equipment allows players to kill monsters faster and have sharper PK, but killing monsters faster cannot rely on monster killing upgrades, and dynamic tasks should be released or released, so the level increase is not very large.
Lu Xiaofeng thought about it carefully, the popularity of high-end equipment is the general trend in the game that cannot be changed, sooner or later there will be a change in the game, which will bring more items to drop quickly when killing monsters, and an increase in the game currency sold in the store, which will cause inflation in the game and depreciation of the game currency.
But on the other hand, the use of low-level equipment to rush high-level equipment, four-in-one may not be successful, maybe more than ten or twenty pieces of green clothing can stabilize a bright gold outfit, but the store price of the bright gold outfit is not much higher than the store price of the green outfit, so this is also a means of recovering the items dropped by the monster, in order to reduce the generation of game currency, this is one, and second, the repair of high-end equipment is more expensive is also a reality, and Lu Xiaofeng knows the existence of the server battlefield, and players will soon be able to contact, No matter what form of competition the battlefield of the world is, the scale of PK in this kind of battlefield must be very large, and the brains of this person are hot when they fight, especially when they fight in groups, and the cost of repairing equipment is not the same as running water? This is another way to recycle in-game currency.
From this point of view, in general, the improvement of equipment does not have a great impact on the economic system in the game, which is also what Lu Xiaofeng is most concerned about as a professional player.
It is said that what is bought is not sold well, how can the various methods of game companies be guessed by themselves?
Lu Xiaofeng relaxed, and decided to make good use of the advantages of the intelligence prophet to make a fortune, since things have already been like this, he must follow the destiny of heaven to make a big profit, which may be the main reason why these people rushed into the lion arch.
Hehe, it's a pity. Lu Xiaofeng smiled and began to consider the operability of this matter.
At present, green clothing has become the mainstream in the market, and bright gold clothing is still a seller's market, so Lu Xiaofeng decided to use green clothing to brighten up gold clothing, if the operation is good, it will be profitable.
The main thing is that the time to lead is only one day, and if you miss the best opportunity, the windfall profit will be gone! In the future, if you want to make a fortune by relying on the mysterious furnace, one is to need outstanding character, and the other is to need exclusive skills, which is not the golden opportunity to make a lot of money without brainless operation at present.
Lu Xiaofeng decided to work for 24 hours in a row, which required Ye Zhike's help.
As soon as the matter was said, Ye Zhike, who claimed to be a businessman, immediately realized the major business opportunity, and this woman decided with a wave of her hand: she would saturate the bright gold market within one day, and never give others a chance to interfere!
"......" Lu Xiaofeng was shocked by this woman's ambition: "More than a dozen servers, how can it be saturated?" ”
Ye Zhike asked: "What is the general price of bright gold now?" ”
"The cheapest is 3 gold."
"That's right, the character has a total of head, shoulders, chest, hands, legs, shoes plus weapons and six jewelry slots of equipment grids, we don't count the jewelry at present, each character must be equipped with at least 21 gold equipment grids, right?"
"yes, what do you want to say?"
"Let me ask you again, what is the average amount of in-game currency owned by the average player right now?"
"It's not very clear, but having a 2-gold game coin is considered rich at the moment." Lu Xiaofeng thought for a while and said hurriedly: "You mean? ”
"That's right!" Ye Zhike said confidently: "In fact, with the current stock of gold coins in the game, we can't buy much bright gold outfits at all, so we have to digest more and more bright gold outfits, and the big price reduction of bright gold outfits is inevitable, so even if we saturate the bright gold outfits in one day, if the price remains the same, we can't sell them or we can't sell them." ”
"We can sell equipment and gold at the same time, and recycle it." Lu Xiaofeng came up with an idea.
"Lu Daji! You're treacherous! But your mind is too dead. Ye Zhike's tone changed: "Our eyes can't be limited to the game, since it's to make money, our ultimate goal is not RMB?" Since they don't have enough in-game currency, why don't we let them buy it directly with RMB? ”
"So in the game, we insist on not letting the bright gold outfit drop the price, so as not to dismantle our own stage, and our main battlefield is outside the game!"
"......" Lu Xiaofeng was stunned, and said in silence: "Ye Zhike, you are very powerful, and you really deserve to be my Lu Xiaofeng's sweetheart." ”
“…… Lu Daji, can you not bring yourself when you praise others in the future. ”
"As much as you can, then let's get started!"
Although the direction of action has been decided, the specific operation is still quite troublesome, Ye Zhike went to the forum to post propaganda and in-game publicity, Lu Xiaofeng is responsible for manufacturing goods, this is not a simple task, the source of the cost and the control of the cost are big problems. (To be continued......)
PS: I wanted to solve it in one chapter, but I didn't expect it to be written out or a lot of hahaha. There should be a bit more in the next chapter.
