Vol.5 For a man with the ideal harem, the most important thing is not combat power and staying power, but ...... Financial ability!
(Fixed.) )
I finally understand the reason why everyone's characters will be left in the shopping street after this open beta.
The so-called "reality" means that no matter what you want to get, you must pay a corresponding "price", and this price is naturally the common currency in most cases, and in this world, there are naturally things to replace.
This "pocket money" setting,In the closed beta, it's just a string of numbers that don't lift people's spirits.,After all,Even if you use all your pocket money for a month, you can't buy any practical items sold in the shopping street.,Occasionally, when you meet an unscrupulous businessman,You have to empty your pocket to get a consumable.γ
Ahh But what about the current situation?
"Damn...... Damn ......"
I was desperately rummaging through my pockets for coins, muttering in despair.
In the final mission before the end of the closed beta, I used all my pocket money, and now I finally tasted the bitter fruit of this rash act - all the coins left in my pocket added up to less than 200 yuan, including the converted value of the tokens used to launch the super electromagnetic cannon.
If it's in your own school garden, then, the rest of the players who don't have any money will probably be trapped in the school until the end of the world, right? After all, it is impossible to take the subway to the rest of the places without money, even if I have combat power...... Just thinking about it, you know that since the system intends to make this kind of setting, how can it be so simple
The purpose of the Akihabara shopping street is now very obvious.
Since everyone has nothing in their pockets, it is only in this shopping street that it is possible to find a job that can earn pocket money, which can currently save me from fire and water
Half an hour later
"I'm sorry...... Our store has just been full."
Standing at the door of a certain maid cafΓ©, I was barrenly bathed in the cold wind that came from nowhere on the street after being rejected by a cute clerk in a girl's dress.
For newcomers who have just entered the game, although they may feel that this setting is too black, it is ...... Finding a shop and going to work is probably as simple as a novice task or the first time to fight monsters and level up, right?
On the contrary, I participated in the closed beta and fell into this terrible predicament because of insufficient preparation.
Until now,I can't even find a suitable job.,Enough to earn enough money to leave Akihabara.,Going to Sakakino Gakuen.,The previous self-confidence.,Because of this sudden blow, it suddenly turned into weathered powder.γ
After the open beta, resources will become correspondingly scarce due to the increase in the number of gamers...... I should have been prepared for this in the morning, right?
ββ¦β¦ Ahh β
Helplessly laughing at myself, the only thing I could do now was to unfold the leaflet from my pocket once again, looking for instructions that might help the current situation.
"There is no other way to get pocket money than to work...... Wait a minute...... This...... What does that mean?"
Obviously, the system can't leave only one way for players to survive, so in addition to part-time jobs, the other way to get pocket money has also been changed from "the system automatically distributes monthly pocket money" to "cultivate the friendship of the elder role of the same family to get a fixed amount of pocket money distribution".
By the way,It's still because of the so-called "authenticity",According to the explanation,The setting of the residence outside the school park,It's also been after the university parks moved into their respective cities,,It's a natural appearance-although it's just a system-allocated apartment,But,It's also a good place to rest or do something else.γ
Now here's the problem...... Because the students will be assigned to the apartment in the school city.,And whether the so-called "family members" are stored in the game,It's still unknown whether they can be encountered.,Although I saw this possibility at the summer festival.,The question is......
Will the man named Ze Yue Zhi give me child support?
The answer seems obvious...... Because I can't bring him a new woman every month, ...... It was simply impossible to get pocket money from that man.
All in all, the only way I can get out of this predicament is that I'm sealed off because of the special identity of this hostel, and if nothing else, I'll be able to wander aimlessly around this Akihabara shopping street until ...... Until you find a job.
"Hey, that ...... over there"
Lost in my soul, I was about to try my luck on the street when I heard a familiar voice.
I said...... The guy in the Sakakino uniform, give me a little pause. β
Huh?
Looking down at my body, yes, I'm still wearing the same Sakakino Gakuen-standard summer school uniform - although there are already clothing stores on the shopping streets, but nowadays, no one can afford to buy clothes that look beautiful but are worth a lot of money.
In other words, the person who is called "the guy in the Sakakino school uniform" is me, right? But......
"Oh, it's not easy, I actually met someone from the same school here."
As I turned around and looked behind me suspiciously, the man who had been yelling behind me in a haughty tone finally joined me in a look of surprise.
"Huh?"
I don't know why this guy looks that way, but the reason why I'm surprised is that the guy in front of me, who is also wearing a Sakakino Gakuen uniform and has a weird yellow hairstyle.
"Taisuke......?"
Ahh
But...... At a time like this, this guy couldn't have been here.
You must know that although today's shopping streets seem to be as prosperous as usual, behind this prosperity, there are essential differences from usual.
In normal shopping streets, the composition of pedestrians is "a small number of players mixed with a large number of system characters", but today, due to the large influx of players, the shopping streets have been completely occupied by players, whether it is the people working in the store pΓΉ or the customers wandering around, all of them are composed of players in this environment, Taisuke Swanaga......
"Wait a minute...... You...... It's called Makoto Ito, right? β
The look of surprise on his face suddenly changed to a happy Taisuke Sawanaga, and although he didn't come over and hook my neck like usual, the expression on his face that would make people feel disgusting just by laughing still didn't change.
After all, there was actually a lot of communication with this guy during the closed beta, right? As a result, looking at the current picture, this Taisuke in front of me is actually ......
"The first time I met the contemptible people...... The contemptible is now a player named Taisuke Sawanaga, and he was able to meet the legendary Makoto Ito...... I was so lucky."
Really...... It's actually because of the relationship between the hosts and the player, then again......
"You...... Know my name? β
Looking at the familiar face on the other side suspiciously, the fact that the other party has now changed from a system character to a player makes me seem a little unnatural in this conversation - after all, if the character's system record says something like "My former girlfriend was killed because of my relationship", then I'm afraid the relationship between the two people will deteriorate next.
Moreover, for now, Sawanaga Taisuke's appearance is obviously a little wrong, after all, I was before, but I definitely didn't know such a guy.
"Don't Ito-san know yet? Because of the closed beta,,Your fame is skyrocketing.,Now,Among the players,But there's a resounding name of 'Sakakino School Park' scum" "
β¦β¦ I don't want to carry such a reputation casually
"What the hell is going on with such rumors?"
Completely ignoring the fact that I had just met the other party, and after habitually grabbing this yellow-haired neck, I realized that the guy in front of me was not the system role that I could manipulate at will.
"Oh, oh, oh...... That's the momentum, that's right, it's the rumored Sei-kun Ito"
And...... This Taisuke Swanaga is definitely a head show, right? I almost hit the bridge of his nose with my fist, didn't I? It's okay to continue this dangerous topic as if nothing happened.
"All in all...... There's no time to grind around with you as a newcomer right now. β
I was baffled by this sudden appearance, and when I remembered the most disturbing situation at the moment, I gave up on the action against this fool for the time being.
Not to mention that you can't fight in the shopping street, if you let the job you take advantage of because of the delay in time......
"Huh? Won't Makoto go back to Sakakino School Park with me? Originally, I was expecting the famous Makoto Ito to help introduce the situation of the school......"
Ha? What kind of person am I? A tour guide?
β¦β¦
"Wait a minute......
The next second, I suddenly realized something, twisted back again, and grabbed the back edge of Taisuke's collar who was trying to walk to the subway station in frustration.
"You guy...... Have you already got the money to buy a subway ticket? β
What are you kidding, this guy is just a newcomer, right? It seems that I need to re-evaluate the other party's ability to do it at such a fast speed.
"Huh? Miscellaneous...... What's done? β
In the face of my questioning, Sawanaga Taisuke had a confused expression on his face.
"Pocket money, pocket money, isn't that something that can only be earned by part-time work?"
With this stupid expression, I finally resisted the urge to swing my fist and smash it.
"Part-time job? But ......"
Suspiciously, Taisuke Sawanaga pulled out a large handful of large denomination notes from his pocket that made me feel dizzy just by looking at them.
"Over there in the Tiger's Den...... It's not possible to exchange real money directly for huΓ n...... Pocket money? βV
