Volume 1 Chapter 18 Development Plan
Speaking of eating, the food in Fantasy is very realistic and delicious, but it lacks a feeling anyway, a feeling of "eating". This does not mean that there is no touch of chewing food in the mouth, but refers to a kind of psychological satisfaction. In a familiar small restaurant, Wei and I fully enjoyed this satisfaction and returned to our doghouse. Alas, in life, money is indeed an important thing, otherwise why would two people need to squeeze into a house of only more than 60 square meters? If I had millions of assets, cars and villas, what kind of enjoyment could not I pursue? Even when playing games, rich people can spend a lot of money to buy equipment, land, villas in the game, and go to high-end entertainment areas to enjoy, but I have to fight for my livelihood. Professional players playing games is not necessarily a pleasure. In the past, they helped others to practice their numbers, or they could not use a high-level product after they finally hit it. They had to trade it for money. After a long time, sometimes they felt helpless and painful. This time, Fantasy is different. There is no problem of leveling. With I should be able to find Bosses to fight for equipment at any time. I can make a lot of money by selling the eliminated low-level equipment. But I dare not relax at all. If my level stagnates, the advantage will soon disappear. Therefore, for me, the game is not just a game, it is my job, and it is a job with great risks and competitive pressure. I must work hard to do my job well. I have no time to rest, no time to have fun, no time to pick up girls. I can only keep moving forward and forward, and always stand at the peak of fantasy to ensure that I can continue to make money.
When I entered the game, the system prompted me that someone had sent me a message. I opened it and saw that it was from Jimo, telling me to go to Taibai Restaurant quickly, because Bu San, Bu Si and the profiteer were all there.
Among my friends, Bu San, Bu Si and the Swindler are all professional players like me, but they chose a different route from me, they chose the business route. Bu San and Bu Si are two brothers, they chose to be an appraiser and a foundry craftsman respectively, as for the Swindler, you can tell what he does just by his name.
Although skill-based professions are much more difficult to level up than combat professions, they should have changed their professions long ago. As professional players, they were not in a hurry to upgrade and change their professions at the beginning. When allocating attributes, in addition to the necessary strength and physique, they tried to allocate as many attribute points as possible to accuracy and wisdom. Although they changed their professions a little late, they could obtain more skill allocation points and have a higher success rate after learning professional skills. They only had a hard time in the first 10 levels. After changing their professions, they could gain experience points through skill training and upgrade. If it was really necessary to upgrade quickly, we could lead them to level up in a team. Since everyone has different professions, we can achieve the highest efficiency: we give the attribute equipment obtained during leveling to Bu Si for appraisal first. If the appraisal is successful, we can save the appraisal fee. Even if it is unsuccessful, it allows Bu Si to practice the appraisal skill. The appraised equipment is given to profiteers to sell. On the one hand, it improves his business skills. On the other hand, profiteers are full-time buyers and sellers, and sell in bulk, which saves time and energy and is easier to sell at a good price than if we sell it ourselves. In addition, profiteers use financial management skills to help us buy medicine, repair equipment, etc., which can also get a little discount, which can save a small amount of expenses. Bring Bu San with you when leveling, he has practiced the gathering technique to a very high level, and can collect a lot of materials from the monsters we kill, especially the Boss. In addition, the materials we usually get are given to him for casting. Not only can his casting technique be upgraded quickly, but if we are lucky, he might be able to combine high-quality equipment suitable for our use!
With these three, our small group can be said to be fully functional. Well, let’s go find them right away to discuss future development plans!
We arrived at Taibai Restaurant and found the private room of Lonely and his friends. Oh, there were so many people there, including Lonely, Hanjiang, Blue Crystal, Feiniao, Fatty, The One Who Loves Fish, Shi Zhongyu, The Bad Young Man, Bu San, Bu Si, the Profligate Merchant, and me and Awei, they were all our members!
After a lively moment, we said hello to the shady businessmen, exchanged business cards, and started to discuss the issues seriously.
The profiteer said: "The game Zero Degree Fantasy is so well made that it is certain to have great development potential in the future. According to the information I have learned, the virtual simulation helmet developed by New Era Group has attracted the attention of various countries. Many large companies are investing heavily to develop similar systems, but this technology cannot be developed in a year or two, and the time for game development must be added. It will take at least two years for other countries to launch games comparable to Fantasy. By that time, Fantasy will have monopolized the online game market! As for now, New Era Group announced that it will release accounts in batches. This is a very smart strategy. It always maintains a seller's market, which always makes some players unable to meet their needs. The more they can't get an account, the more curious and anxious they are. This can create the image of 'Fantasy is a good game, and its account is hard to come by' in public opinion. It is estimated that within a month, it will occupy 50% of the online game market, that is, it will have more than 300 million players!"
After taking a breath, the profiteer continued, "A market of 300 million players, what does that mean? Every day, the media reports that numerous multinational corporations are seeking to cooperate with New Era Group. In Fantasy, the cost of advertising licenses (referring to advertising signs on city streets and buildings) in a large city in the system is as high as 5 million RMB, and it is still rising! There are also various stores, entertainment consumption, etc. in the city. Fantasy allows players to build cities by themselves. If we can build a city, how much profit can we get?"
We were all stunned by the profiteer's words. Building a city? 5 million? And even more? Was he just bragging or were we dreaming?
"Of course, the conditions required to build a city are extremely harsh, so let's not even think about it. At least it's impossible at the moment."
Boom... Everyone fell down in the room, woof... Since it is impossible, why bother to say it out loud to stimulate us? Since you have said it out loud, just let us dream for a while, why be so cruel to say what you really want right away?
"Hey, what's wrong with you guys? Bug? Haha, I'm going to report a bug. It is said that after the public beta, New Era Group will reward at least 100,000 yuan for reporting a bug!"
"Yes, it's a bug. We can't control our bodies anymore, so it's not our fault if we hit you, right?" The fat man woke everyone up with a startled voice. Everyone sneered...
"Ah ah... No, I know I was wrong! Brothers, please forgive me!"
After playing around for a while, the profiteer continued, "Even if we can't build a city, there are still many other business opportunities in this game. I have decided to invest all my assets in this game . In fact, it's rare for so many of our friends to gather in one game, so we still have a great advantage."
I agreed, "That's right. Compared with some organized Internet cafes and professional player alliances, we may have too few people and not enough capital, but we are flexible. The professions of third-rate, fourth-rate, and profiteers all have their own strengths. With proper planning, we can still achieve a lot. In fact, in terms of average level, there are definitely not many groups that can match us! Moreover, we can kill bosses and get equipment in a planned way and hand them over to profiteers to sell. Making money is secondary. The most important thing is to make the profiteers famous, so that business will naturally continue in the future! In addition, obtaining a fief requires reputation. My reputation value ranks first, so I am absolutely sure to get the fief first. After that, we can slowly build and develop, and maybe we can build a city in the end!"
"Good idea, let's discuss the specific steps..."
As a result of the discussion, Ji Mo and the others formed a team, exactly 12 people, to bring Bu San Bu Si and the Prodigal Merchant to level 20 as soon as possible, so that they can be promoted and learn more advanced skills; I will continue to practice alone, and after reaching two more levels, I will be the first to challenge the G-level Boss to obtain the reputation rewarded by the system.
After the agreement was reached, we all prepared to set off. The merchant's first professional skill was financial management. At level 0, he could get a 2% discount on items purchased from the system store, and at level 10, he could buy items at a 20% discount. Therefore, we relied on the profiteer to buy our potions, which made him exhausted. Especially me, I brought a whole backpack full of medicine, and my backpack was also filled with potions and various items. I alone had more than the three of them.
I didn't plan to bring so many medicines to level up. It was enough for me to level up for 20 hours. But when the profiteer bought medicines, he looked at the leaderboard and I got angry. Damn, that orc berserker caught up with me and reached level 20! Damn, can't you just go offline and take a rest? Aren't you afraid of sudden death from myocardial infarction if you work so hard? It's strange. The helmet of Dream has a protective function. Even if he is strong-willed, if his body can't bear it, he will be forced to quit the game? Could it be that this person is even more perverted than me? I need at least 4 hours of sleep every day, but he doesn't need to sleep at all?
Stimulated by this, I was so angry that I even packed up the food and took it with me. Even if I was hungry, I would eat it right there at the leveling point to save time going back to the city. Humph, if I hadn't spent nearly a whole day on leveling up, finding a mount, and practicing riding skills, would you have been able to catch up with me? I want to show you what a real leveling maniac is!
