22. Players Market
Of course, if you measure it by Luo Jie's standards, these three people are still properly budding...... A true veteran is one who will never walk with a stranger who has just met him.
chatting all the way, the four of them walked down the steep bluestone steps to the gate of Qipan Mountain.
"Dire, you're here for the first time?" The dancer who had been walking beside Luo Jie and chatting with him suddenly asked.
Luo Jie suddenly realized that his calm reaction at the moment was not at all like that of a newcomer who came for the first time, and explained in a hurry: "Actually, I have been to Qipanshan before, but I didn't know that there was a hidden market here. ”
"That's right, you're also from Liao Province." The dancer automatically made up a complete excuse for Luo Jie's brain, and did not suspect him, and was very enthusiastic to play the role of a tour guide, introducing Luo Jie: "In fact, the history of this player market is very short, it was probably founded half a year ago, due to its good geographical location, it has become the main trading place for players in the entire Northeast region, and even players from several neighboring countries will come here to buy and sell items." ”
Luo Jie deliberately made a surprised expression on his face.
He naturally knew that there were players from other countries in the Fengtian Market.
In fact, it is not surprising that this is happening, after all, the population base of several neighboring countries is there, and even the official market at the national level may not be comparable to the size of a small market in a provincial capital in China.
And people like fantasy players are the most realistic, and it's about equipment and props, which are almost fatal, and people don't care if you're a domestic or a foreign product.
Over time, Huaxia's five major player markets monopolized all high-end equipment transactions in the entire Asian region, and the Huaxia military behind it made a lot of money.
Entering the office building of the scenic area management office not far from the ticket office, passing through the front hall to the backyard, several soldiers in civilian clothes blocked the way of several people.
"There is a storeroom in the back, please stop."
The chief, apparently experienced in dealing with such a scene, took the initiative to show his hands that there was no threat, and explained his identity to the other party.
"We are players, we have registration."
A faint mechanical sound sounded, and Luo Jie subconsciously glanced at the shadow of the canopy diagonally above, he knew that there was a hidden camera there, and at this moment it should be verifying the identities of the four of them through facial image comparison.
A moment later, the walkie-talkie carried by the plainclothes soldier sounded that the verification had passed, and several people immediately moved out of the way.
Entering the door of the warehouse, a cool air with a faint smell of earth came to my face.
"As early as the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to deal with the threat of the Hairy Bear Country in the north, many air defense facilities were built throughout the country, and these air-raid shelters built along the mountains were dug at that time...... Later, when the location of the player market was selected, the Huaxia Army, who could not find a suitable location, thought of these bomb shelters that had been sealed for many years. ”
While talking, the group came to the interior of the bomb shelter.
The first thing that catches your eye is a public hall with hundreds of screens, with smooth tiles under your feet, soft milky white lights on the ceiling above your head, and huge LCD screens on the walls on both sides playing the introduction and precautions of the player market over and over again.
The dancer took a thin booklet from the front desk, put it in Luo Jie's hand and said, "This is the newcomer's manual, which contains all the roadmaps and precautions within the market...... You don't have to be too nervous, just think it's a bigger wholesale farmer's market. ”
"Thank you."
Luo Jie's thanks are sincere, and players like the fitness trio in front of him who are enthusiastic about helping newcomers are rare even in the early days of the apocalypse.
After all, buying and selling equipment involves personal privacy, and it is no longer convenient for the two parties to continue to walk together, so they separated.
Perhaps because they felt that the conversation was opportunistic, before leaving, the dancer and the chief respectively added Luo Jie's friends to the system, saying that if there was a suitable opportunity, they could form a team together.
For such a request, Luo Jie naturally would not refuse.
Just because a solo player is used to acting alone doesn't mean he's really alone, in fact, without a large enough circle of friends, no matter how powerful a solo player is, he won't be able to go far.
After separating from the fitness trio, Luo Jie couldn't help but relax, and finally he didn't have to pretend to be anything new.
After putting the newcomer's manual back in his hand, he briefly recalled the inner structure of the Mukden Market, and then walked straight into the men's locker room on the left.
Changing into a uniform white robe for hiding his identity in a bathroom-like cubicle, Luo Jie took a deep breath and followed the crowd into the market.
Perhaps due to the strength of the market, there is no space as large as the public hall at the entrance, but many independent small rooms with tens of square meters are excavated, connected by a winding double passageway.
Players who want to do business here generally have two options.
One is consignment.
Register the items to be sold at the consignment point in the market, and other players can query and place orders through the APP, and the market will credit the points to the seller's personal account through the system email after the transaction.
However, due to the fact that the market charges a fee equivalent to 10% of the transaction amount during the transaction process, there are not many sellers who choose this transaction method, and they often only use it when selling the best equipment items.
The other is to set up a stall.
Although this primitive way of trading is criticized by sellers, on the contrary, it is the most preferred method by many buyers.
Here, buyers can not only touch the physical equipment in person, but also bargain directly with the seller, or barter, and the good shopping experience is far from being comparable to online consignment with pictures and descriptions.
And if you're lucky enough, you can also find some good unpopular boutique equipment at a low price, and even pick up leaks.
Luo Jie couldn't remember the market situation in this period in his previous life, so he had to look at the many stalls on both sides of the road one by one, and scan the QR code to download the APP of a player market, and do some market research first.
Perhaps because the player's rank is generally not high at this time, most of the personal equipment has not been gathered, the goods on the consignment APP are not rich, and the price is ridiculously high.
In contrast, Luo Jie found two very good skills in a personal stall.
