Chapter 822: Black-Hearted Merchant

Seeing the auction list displayed by the wise brains, Rao was mentally prepared from the beginning, and the representatives of the major forces and the bottom audience couldn't help but look straight at this moment.

Space storage, although this is not unprecedented in the circle of transcendents in the Lingzi world, but the relatively easy to use space storage is basically a rare item that only a few people can master because of its own refining difficulty and the scarcity of manufacturing materials.

Except for those like the dragon clan in the Dragon Domain who have a corresponding inheritance and have mastered the special space storage props such as self-refining the 'storage scales', as well as powerful forces with incomparably deep roots like Heaven, or some special transcendents who happen to have mastered the power of the space system, those small forces, scattered cultivators, and low-level transcendents have nothing to do with this kind of thing on weekdays.

But this does not prevent them from yearning for space storage props, after all, the effect of this thing can really bring too much convenience to people.

And now, in the past, the space storage props that were usually only seen in the hands of high-level transcendents and great forces, at this moment, the Dream Realm has successfully achieved mass production and refining suitable for civilian use! This made many people feel very surprised, and then there was a surprise.

The official online platform of the Dream Country has revealed tonight's auction information to a certain extent, and many of the participants in tonight's auction are specially here for this batch of 'space storage' of the country.

However, because the news released in advance was incomplete, it was not until this moment that everyone really got a glimpse of the whole picture of these auction items.

After reading the first few batches of space storage in the defective version, everyone digested its information, and then many people began to frown slightly, and a trace of disappointment flashed in their eyes.

Because they are a little dissatisfied with the functional defects of these batches of storage described by the Dream Country.

Compared with the storage utensils equipped by the big forces and high-level transcendents, the few batches of space storage released by the Dream Realm at the moment only have a shelf life of a few years at most, which is more criticized.

However, apart from the people who eat melons, there are not many people who will really express their opinions on those who are interested in participating in the auction. After all, it is already rare to be able to mass-produce it, and some defects can be understood.

Fortunately, the flawless version of the high-end storage that appeared behind made these people's eyes light up again.

Although the number of these non-defective versions of high-grade storage is far inferior to that of the defective version of civilian storage, considering the difficulty of refining, everyone understands this.

The only thing that made them smile bitterly was the auction price of these storages, even if it was the lowest-grade civilian version of the medium-sized space storage, with a bidding price of at least 500 merit value per piece, it was not something that ordinary people could buy, at least it would take wealthy businessmen and aristocrats with small assets to enjoy.

The Merit Value of the Fantasy Nation can be exchanged for ordinary 'Credit Coins', which are used for daily consumption and normal foreign trade and trade to exchange for coins of other countries. However, because of the preciousness of the merit value, the merit value can be exchanged for credit coins, but the credit coins cannot be exchanged for success points in reverse. This is an exchange system for those who have merit in hand but need to use credit.

The exchange ratio between the two is that 1 merit value can be exchanged for 100 credits, and 100 credits is roughly equivalent to one gold coin according to the current trade exchange rate between the country and the outside world. In other words, even if it is a low-grade civilian version of a medium-sized space storage, the bidding price of each one starts at least 500 gold coins, which is equivalent to at least 500,000 yuan in RMB when converted to the money concept of Jiang Yan's previous life.

Coupled with the defects of the functional shelf life of this thing, judging from the frequency that its storage capacity will decay by half every six months, customers who buy this kind of storage will have to re-find the refiner of the Dream Realm to replace or repair it almost every other year, so as to maintain the normal use of its function, which is obviously an ongoing expense.

A person who does not have an annual income of several hundred gold coins in his own assets is really not qualified to spend these things.

After many people see it, they can only look at it.

But soon, Dream Country brought them another piece of good news.

Seeing that everyone finished reading the auction information of the storage, Zoslang said: [Although China only released two specifications of medium and large storage to the auction, in fact, China also made a small size of the civilian version of the storage, but because its price is relatively close to the people, it will not be put at auction for auction. 】

[We have directly listed it at the country's specialty goods sales office, if you are interested in it, you can browse the relevant information of Montnets by yourself, or go to the dream store sales points in various places to buy. 】

Hearing this, everyone immediately opened their Soul Communicator or Montnets account, and began to inquire about the details of the model of storage that Zos said with the help of Zhi Brain.

......

[Friendly reminder, although the difficulty of refining and the material cost of the civilian version of the small space storage are much lower than those of other versions of the storage device of higher specifications, but because the core materials are still difficult to mass produce on a large scale, our supply of this supply is also limited. 】

While everyone was looking at the information about the civilian version of the small space storage on the Dream Network, Zos continued to speak.

[As introduced by Montnets information, if guests are interested in purchasing, they need to book it in advance. First come, first served. For the specific pre-order time, you can pay attention to the relevant news posted on Montnets. 】

[In addition, if you are able to pay an additional deposit higher than the standard price, you can also reserve a place in advance before the official sale.] The pre-order rule is based on a ranking system, and the higher the additional pre-purchase deposit, the higher the ranking. Rest assured, if a guest chooses to pay an additional pre-purchase fee and ends up being squeezed out of the pre-purchase slot, the pre-purchase amount will also be refunded. 】

After saying these words, Zos took some time to pay attention to the situation on the Dream Net about the two specifications of the civilian version of the small space storage.

As he expected, there were already people who couldn't wait to start pre-ordering this thing. Not only the petty bourgeois guests, but also many high-ranking officials and aristocrats who had originally focused their eyes on the Dream World auction also participated in the competition for pre-orders.

It has been more than half a year since the official establishment of the Dream Country, during which the country has been very active in diplomacy and trade with various national forces, as long as they are interested in the Dream Country and have some assets and strength, they have almost created an account for themselves on the country's Dream Net and recharged some funds.

Although most people recharge credit coins, there are not a few people who exchange merit points. With hundreds of merit points, many people can still get their hands on it.

Therefore, almost in less than a minute, the two civilian versions of small space storage devices that were publicly sold on Montnets were snatched up by the guests who came to hear the news.

At this time, the system of 'pre-order quota ranking competition' mentioned by Zos began to show traces of black-hearted merchants.

Because all the pre-orders have already been booked, those who are slow to buy will have to pay a higher amount of pre-purchase deposits than the price offered by others if they insist on buying, and thus will be snatched up by other people.

This kind of competition, in the eyes of discerning people, is actually no different from the auction system. It's just that unlike the Montnets auction, if no one competes, the price of this civilian version of the small space storage will still be the original price.

Essentially, this kind of pre-order bidding system is just a change of soup and not a change of medicine from the auction, but this system is much better in name. After all, if you don't want to bid higher than others, you won't have anything to complain about, right?

But even if you know that this kind of trick played by the Dream Country is actually a bit of a trick, many people are willing to jump into the pit, who makes the Dream Country a strange place to live.

Then, the crowd heard Zos on the crystal superstar stage speak again with a blank face, announcing a piece of news that lifted the spirits of those who complained about the bidding system:

We know some people are not satisfied. Therefore, in order to repay the support of the people at the bottom to our country over the past few days, we will also release a batch of civilian versions of small space storage devices in different quantities at the same time when the public sale of each issue of storage is carried out. For this batch of storage, it will be sold at a discount of 50% of the standard price, and a lottery model will be adopted, where everyone can pay the standard price to participate in this lottery, and the Dream Country will randomly draw the corresponding number of lucky customers from among the participants to sell things to him. Of course, customers who are not selected will also be refunded the original amount of participation funds. 】

[Specifically, the number of storage devices included in the lottery mode will generally range from 5%~20% of the total number of storage devices in the pre-order mode.] At that time, Montnets will announce the relevant information of the lottery pool in advance. 】

After hearing the information about the rules of this so-called lottery model, many people's originally depressed mood suddenly improved a lot.

In this world, there has never been a shortage of lucky people and even pretentious people.

According to the news announced by Zos, it is obvious that if you are lucky enough to be drawn in the lottery mode, you will be able to buy it at a lower price.

The 50% discount price difference has made many people even have the idea of becoming a second-hand scalper if they are lucky enough to be selected, and sell the storage they buy to others at a higher price to make a profit.

Of course, the dream country knows this, but anyway, if the thing is sold, will it be sold again, it is all personal freedom, and the country is too lazy to care about those small profits.

In fact, Dream Country puts this kind of storage made by itself into the public sale on Montnets.com, although it also has the idea of making profits, but at the same time, it also has another purpose, that is, with the help of these highly attractive special products, to stimulate customers from the outside world to recharge their Montnets accounts.

After all, the Fantasy Country only adopts its own monetary system, and outsiders who want to buy the special products of the Fantasy Country have to use the special currency implemented by the Fantasy Country.

The exclusive currency of the Dreamland is not allowed to be returned to secular coins issued by other countries. If you top up or exchange credits or merit points, even if you don't buy your ideal thing, the funds in your account can't be left moldy, right?

Anyway, if you don't give it back, you will have to consume it sooner or later, so that it won't be wasted.

I have to admit that this practice of Dream Country is also a trick used by black-hearted merchants.

As time came and went, people from the outside world gradually became accustomed to using this exclusive currency of the fantasy country to trade and consume, and the influence of the fantasy country and the benefits that could be earned naturally rose.
