Chapter V: Action
Special statement,In addition to the two pen names of Xinmojia and Chenmo,I did not use other pen names)
As she learns more about the game, Rin becomes more determined.
The cross-era nature of this game is far beyond ordinary people's imagination, and once released, it is likely to subvert the original online game pattern. It's definitely a big Mac enough to create a new virtual generation.
Rin knew that the initial plan she had made last night was meaningless. If you follow the official website, even if it is only half credible, this VR game is so huge that it can't even be called a 'game' at all. I'm afraid it will be a whole new virtual world, a new world associated with reality!
In the afternoon, Rin decisively logged into the previous game, first registered the characters for trading, then put everything that could be sold for money on the trading platform, and then began to sweep the warehouse. Although many in-game items cannot be directly thrown on the trading platform, they can be sold for in-game currency, which can then be sold for cash. Rin has been playing this game for many years, and has accumulated a lot of things in the warehouse, plus the small ones, a whole dozen pages. Without thinking about it, he directly shouted in the world to clear the goods, and all of them were cleared at a seven-percent discount from the market price.
In the evening, Han Bing came back sweating, and when he entered the door, he saw that the game interface on the screen was full of people. When he looked closer, he knew what was going on: "Clear things? ”
Rin shook his hand that had been clicking on the mouse for an afternoon: "Well, the number is also registered, so I didn't have time to tell you." ”
"It's okay, anyway, I'm going to clean it up in the next few days, and I'll go up and clean it up later, and take a shower first."
"Oh, I'm going out later, you can help me set it up."
Yes.
Han Bing took off his shirt, revealing the strong muscles of his upper body: "Cleared it all tonight?" ”
"It's the best, not much anyway. If the money is full, all of it will be thrown away from the exchange. ”
"Okay."
"Ah, by the way, your number is also registered, and it's better to clear all the things that can be cleared......" Rin didn't forget to remind his friend: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to sell in another week or two." ”
Han Bing thought about it for about two seconds at the balcony door, then nodded and replied 'yes'. Although he is a thick person and is not very good at words, his heart is actually very open, and he knows very well who is trustworthy. Rin is a pragmatist who hardly says anything superfluous, and when he says what he thinks, it only proves that he has thought it through. As a sports student, Han Bing understands that he is not good at calculating the shortcomings of speculation, and his roommate is different, he is a god of business economics who can get a scholarship.
It seems that it is time to hurry. Han Bing took a shower and made a decision at the same time.
"Gone?"
Rin has already gone out. Han Bing looked at the time, it was almost seven o'clock. It's odd job time, and Rin is usually absent for nine out of ten days, and he's used to it. Taking advantage of the boot time, I took the time to look at the number. The stalls are neatly arranged, and the categories and prices are clear at a glance. Sure enough, it was the style of a high-achieving student, sighing, he filled the vacant space with new goods, and the machine next to him happened to be opened, so he began to log in to his own number again. Silently counting the contents of a few numbers, thinking about the items on at least dozens of pages, Han Bing began to work painfully and happily.
At the same time, Rin sped through the traffic on the street on his bicycle and arrived at the delivery warehouse on time as usual.
Li Shou didn't behave any different from usual, said hello, packed the pre-arranged express as usual, and let it go after a few words. Probably because he really didn't want to put pressure on Rin, he also said that he would give time to think about it, so from beginning to end, he didn't say a word about the studio and the game, and it was even as if it hadn't happened.
Although the pre-prepared rhetoric is useless, Rin also ends up relaxed. The next time went smoothly, and all the shipments were sent, half an hour faster than usual. At ten o'clock, Rin Wan declined Li Shou's invitation to supper and hurried back to school. As soon as I parked the car downstairs in the dormitory, a few boys came down upstairs.
"Hi, Ji Rin!"
"Senior."
Rin looked up and nodded. Living in a dormitory building, even if they don't interact with each other, they will meet from time to time when they go up and down, and most of them are familiar with each other. Especially the one who walks in the middle. Rin remembered that his name seemed to be Li Gaoyuan, because his family was rich, he was also the president of the student union, and he was usually high-profile and well-known in school. Although he is a rich second generation, it is rumored that he is a very enthusiastic and sophisticated person, with no bad deeds and a good reputation. However, the two usually have little intersection, and their lifestyles are different, and they don't meet a few times a year at school, so they are complete strangers. Rin didn't know how he had memorized his name, and he had taken the initiative to say hello twice.
The staircase was so big, and when a few people came down, Rin consciously let go.
"That's amazing."
Li Gaoyuan walked in front, patted him on the shoulder a little hotly, and said sincerely: "I will obey you in the second grade, really, amazingly." ”
Rin's expression froze a little. The other party is naturally referring to odd jobs, and not saying it explicitly is to save face. Sure enough, he could speak. Although he thought so, Rin's expression changed unrelated, it was purely unaccustomed to being shouldered by an unfamiliar person. Fortunately, he was not cassava either, so he squeezed out a smile and shook his head modestly: "Where." ”
"Tell you something."
Suddenly, Li Gaoyuan came to Rin's side, and he didn't feel the sweat on his body, and whispered, "This year's scholarship, you should be stable." ”
Yes?
Rin looked surprised.
Li Gaoyuan was very satisfied with his reaction, and said with a pointed smile: "Actually, there are also opposing voices in the middle, saying that you have problems with your communication skills and don't like to interact with other classmates, and I also said a few words and told them about you, ah, by the way, without your consent, don't blame me?" ”
"Why, thank you senior."
"Thank you, just tell the truth, I can't get used to them if I want to make up my mind." Li Gaoyuan patted him on the shoulder again and amplified his voice: "Let's have time to play a ball together." ”
"Okay, thank you, senior."
"Come again, say okay, look for me at your time, anytime!"
"Well, good senior." Rin nodded honestly.
"Then let's go."
Li Gaoyuan walked out and pointed back again: "Remember!" ”
Rin nodded again. Several people passed him one after another, and the last one looked at him, then looked under the carport, and said in a weird way, 'The bike is good'. I don't know if Li Gaoyuan and the others in front of me heard it, but they didn't respond anyway. After walking a short distance, the sound of them laughing came, and the word 'express' was faintly there.
I see.
Rin turned and went upstairs. Do you think there's value in a long-term investment? If the depth of the city is also an advantage, this person is indeed capable. Although Rin doesn't feel anything about this, in order to adapt to society, he has to learn to deal with different people, and he doesn't think there's anything wrong with Li Gaoyuan. As for the gossip that he couldn't even deal with, he was used to ignoring it.
Back in the dormitory, Han Bing was busy playing games and raised his head, "I'm back." ”
Yes.
Rin took off her bracers, glanced at her computer, and went to take a shower. After a while, Han Bing remembered something and shouted, "By the way, there was a gang member who wanted to go offline." ”
"What is the proportion?"
"It's the same."
"Ignore him."
"He said the money first."
"Ignore Him"
The so-called offline means that without going through the official trading platform, the seller directly hands over the game currency to the buyer through the game transaction, and then the buyer sends money to the seller in real life. If the seller has a good reputation, sometimes the buyer will also pay first. This has the advantage of not having to pay intermediary fees, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, there is no official as an intermediary, whether it is money or game currency first, the one that collects it later has to bear a certain risk. Scams of receiving money without giving in-game currency, or receiving in-game currency without giving money, abound in the gaming industry and can be applied to any offline transaction. Rin calculated, trading game currency has to charge 5% of the handling fee, that is, 100 yuan to pay 5 yuan, in the case of the same proportion, he has about 3,000 yuan of goods, if you go offline, you can indeed save more than 100 yuan, but it is not worth taking the risk - similar to tax evasion, the official has always cracked down on offline, especially transactions with large amounts. Since last night, his transaction records have been very frequent, and eighty percent have become the object of system monitoring. Once caught, the proceeds of the game will be confiscated, and the account will be banned, and there is basically no possibility of turning over, and Rin can't afford this loss.
After taking a bath, Rin washed his clothes by the way, and was drying them, when Liu Dong came back from outside. On the balcony, Rin heard a few words from the two roommates, the main content was that Han Bing told Liu Dong that he was going to abandon the pit and asked him to take inventory too, but the latter seemed to be reluctant, and he didn't care about the money, so he lazily answered a few words, and then went to bed.
Rin dried his clothes and returned to the room, Liu Tong raised his hand to say hello and fell asleep on his stomach. Speechless, Rin sat down in front of the computer and touched the mouse to light up the screen. Han Bing said while doing things on the side: "It's almost clear, just now 'Yan Zi' said to go offline, I asked you, I didn't throw the money on the exchange, if you don't want to ignore him, throw it yourself." ”
Well.
Rin nodded. This 'Yan Zi' is a veteran player from the same gang as him, and he has been with him for two or three years, so he is a friend in the game. Rin thought about it and decided not to risk it. Since he is willing to pay first, 'Yan Zi' should also be convenient, so as not to have any bad intentions, but the official screening system is not vegetarian, and it is impossible to defy the law. After rethinking for less than three seconds, Rin opened the trading platform and threw all the money away. After placing the order, he opened the platform's transaction records again. The results were disappointing. Although the price was greatly reduced last night, the effect of the sale was not good, only four items were sold before and after, and there were ten pieces left on the shelves.
According to the previous market price, Rin expected that a day later, now he should be able to sell seven or eight pieces. But the fact is that what should have been easy for him to get rid of is now still in the trading network. Smelling a hint of something unusual, Rin habitually frowned and quickly searched the list of items in the full server. Half an hour later, he pinched his eyebrows. Whether it is coincidence or necessity, the things on the exchange are at least 20% more than what he knew more than half a month ago.
When the balance between supply and demand in the market is broken, the first thing that must bear the brunt is the price. Except for a few rare items, it is equivalent to saying that last night's price reduction is just a return to normal. Before that, the price of Rin's items was already slightly higher than the market price. If you don't pay attention, you fall and fight. Rin was a little annoyed, but she didn't feel sorry for herself, and she didn't hesitate, so she immediately returned to her shelves, removed all the items from the shelves, and lowered the price of everything by 20% in one go, and put it up!
Han Bing watched the whole process, and stopped talking.
Rin didn't care, looked at his computer screen, and asked, "Is it selling slowly?" ”
"Ahh
Han Bing's attention turned back to his number, clicked the mouse twice, and his mood was not high: "After clearing all night, I can't finish clearing a number." ”
"I'm selling it cheaper than you, and it's almost the same now."
"Tsk, the two bosses swept the ......"
"It seems like there are two businessmen missing."
"Who?"
"Every day, collect everything."
"No, isn't it all there? It's always been there. Han Bing drove another number to another map to take a look, and sure enough, he saw the stalls of those merchants.
"Didn't you notice that they didn't shout?"
"Shouting ......"
Suddenly, Han Bing came to his senses.
The scalping merchants in the game generally find a fixed place to stand and advertise by shouting. Normally, as an active businessman, you can see their names in the chat channel almost all day long. However, Han Bing recalled that it seemed that one or two of the businessmen who were usually very active had really not shouted anymore recently. What do you mean? Although small merchants may not be able to turn over the funds and stop receiving goods for a period of time, this is usually only a short-term phenomenon and will not last long. If they haven't collected anything for a few weeks and months, but they are still setting up stalls to sell things, it can only prove that they are also quietly clearing the goods!
Rin stopped and sat down on the bed with her hair wiped her hair. Touching his phone, he paused for a few seconds, but moved away, picked up a book of economics instead, and flipped through it.
