Build a gaming empire from scratch

Chapter 800 Are you really being taken advantage of?
When buying copper coins, Shuihua only thought that this was a krypton gold channel opened by Yunmeng, and didn't think much about it.

But now seeing the entire row of five-star spirit beasts on the exchange, all priced with Yunmeng points, I realized that these commodities were all traded in cash.

Although it is not directly using the Great Xia Yuan to buy virtual items, but instead, it is necessary to recharge the Great Xia Yuan into [Yunmeng Points] before proceeding with the transaction.

But in essence, the fact of cash transactions has not changed.

[Yunmeng Points] can always be withdrawn, and not just in Daxia—in almost all countries with stable financial systems, Yunmeng Points can be withdrawn into national currency.

To a certain extent, it is even more reliable than the fiat currencies of many sovereign countries.

And Lin You specifically asked to join the transfer of [Yunmeng Points], in order to protect the interests of the players and avoid transaction risks—for example, the players received the money after selling the items, and found out that their bank card was frozen the next day. .

Of course, Yunmeng's establishment of this exchange is not for nothing: Yunmeng will collect a handling fee from each transaction.

A 5% handling fee is charged for cash transactions and 10% for copper coin transactions.

It goes without saying that the handling fee for cash transactions can generate income for Yunmeng.

The handling fee for copper coin transactions can be recycled to avoid inflation in the game.

As for the 100 million copper coins listed on the exchange, it is not worth mentioning compared to the consumption of the players.

——Even if "Pokemon" is only initially rolled out in Daxia and a few surrounding countries, it still has an excellent data of 340 million active players on weekdays, and the copper coins they consume on handling fees easily exceed the 100 coins listed on the shelves. Ten thousand, not to mention the full rollout in the future.

With the figure of 1000 million players, not only the development team led by Xiaochun has confidence, but even the outside media have [-]% confidence.

After all, the main purpose of the 100 million copper coins is not to make money, but to add some fun to the players.

only……

"Will someone really take advantage of it and spend 18 yuan to buy a virtual pet?"

Shuihua's simple values ​​made her less able to accept such outrageous things.

Really like Qingluan?
Then grab it yourself!

If you can't catch it, buy a low-star one.

Splash searched the price of the low-star Qingluan, and found that as long as it is one star lower, the price of the four-star Qingluan will instantly drop to 6000 yuan, and if it is one star, the price will drop to less than 10 yuan.

It can even be bought with copper coins.

To be reasonable, even a four-star spirit beast costing 6000 yuan a piece, in Shuihua's opinion, the price is still seriously high.

But after all, today is the first day of the game's beta testing. It is normal for the price to be high and the transaction to be irrational, and the splash is understandable.

Only the 18 was completely incomprehensible to her.

Even if it is a six-star, with gimmicks such as "the highest star" and "for a lifetime", Splash can convince himself to endure it.

But it happens to be a five-star!

Why are you? ?
After struggling for a while, Shuihua looked at her four-star Pixiu, and her eyes began to look strange——

This guy is worth 8000 yuan!

Because Pixiu has always had the meaning of "warding off evil spirits, receiving wealth, and prospering luck", coupled with its cute appearance, it is now worth a lot of money.

"How about I find you another rich master so that you can enjoy the happiness too?"

Pixiu shook his head when he heard this.

Shuihua rubbed Pixiu's head twice, and turned his attention back to the business again——

Buy spirit beasts.

Five stars definitely don't need to think about it, she will never empty out her small coffers for a spirit beast.

Keep going down, four stars.

In this range, the price fluctuation is very large.

But even the lowest selling price starts at 3000—maybe there are lower ones, but they will be dropped in seconds as soon as they appear, and they never appear in Splash's sight.

On the first day of opening the server and the first hour of the opening of the exchange, there was no official guide price. Everyone set the price based on their feelings, and at the same time, they were afraid that they would lose money, so they set the price as high as possible.

The result is that Splash looked around and still felt that whoever bought it was being taken advantage of.

Keep dropping the bar, Samsung.

The price dropped by one digit again, and came to a few hundred yuan each.

At this price, Splash could barely accept it, and spent 360 yuan to buy a Chongming bird to enrich its inventory.

Even so, she still felt distressed for a while after the deal.

But looking at Chong Mingniao with double pupils and white feathers flying up and down in the bedroom, he felt that it was not too bad.

At the same time, she also came to a little understanding of the important value of Yunmeng's cash exchange——

There are many players like her, because of their studies or work, they don't have time to run around outdoors to catch spirit beasts with their own hands, especially their favorite spirit beasts.

And the existence of the exchange allows busy players to have their favorite pets.

——Of course not now, but wait a few days until the market sentiment calms down and the price of spirit beasts returns to rationality.

Even if you don't have time to fight, you can take it to and from get off work like a real pet and play the companion value of "Pokemon".

Win-win!

The last regret of Splash is: not being able to buy Zouwu in the exchange.

This little guy is really cute, she wants it very much.

However, the conditions for the appearance of Zouwu are relatively strict. It will be refreshed only after the player has moved 10 kilometers. If the capture fails, the next appearance will be after 5 kilometers. If the capture is successful, it will wait until the next 10 kilometers.

As a result, many players never saw Zou Wu at all, and the players who saw Zou Wu basically only had one in their hands, and they would not easily take it out for sale, and there were very few of them on the shelves.

Anyway, the water splash was not seen.

——Although I may not buy it after seeing her...

【Mountain and Sea Scroll】Each person can only get one, and they must catch Zouwu in person to get it, so she must catch one by herself.

In this case, if the price of Zou Wu is too high, she will definitely not buy it.

Without [Mountain and Sea Scroll], the idea of ​​buying low-star spirit beasts to synthesize high-star spirit beasts to sell for money, and then using the money to buy other high-level spirit beasts, would be impossible to implement.

Thinking of this, Shui Hua looked down at most of the homework on her desk, closed the book suddenly, and stood up.

Just go for a night run!
Make up the amount of exercise for 10 kilometers first!

But before closing the exchange, out of curiosity, she searched for the sky-high price [Qingluan] worth 18.

But what shocked her was——

Gone!

Did the seller take it down?
Or...was it bought by someone?
The super bully really appeared! ?
Shuihua blinked, and went back to search for the [Golden Toad] that sold for 3 yuan.

As a result, it was gone.

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Shui Hua silently closed the exchange, put on his sports clothes and left the bedroom, walked through the living room and began to change his sneakers.

"It's late at night, where are you going?" Mom leaned out from the kitchen and asked Shuihua who was about to go out.

"Run at night to memorize words!" Shuihua replied confidently.

Then he waved his phone, closed the door and left.

"Why did this child suddenly start running at night?" Mom was a little puzzled.

"It's not a bad thing, it's better than just sitting in the bedroom every day, reading and playing games." Dad said.

"That's right." Mom nodded and said, "Then I'll prepare some juice for her and drink it when the child comes back."

……

Shuihua played the game mode of the octagonal head ring. After simply warming up his lower body, he started to run around the community.

But soon she was surprised to find that there seemed to be a lot of people running at night!

It's winter now, and no one runs at night on weekdays, but now there are so many people that they need to queue up on narrow roads. Many people don't look like they are exercising regularly.

The only thing everyone has in common is that everyone has a pair of octagonal head rings on their heads!
'These people... don't they all have the same idea as me? '

Splash was a little confused.

After running a lap, these people are not missing at all, but there seem to be more of them!

Lin Shun also waited downstairs, and ran beside her after seeing the splash.

Splash was puzzled: "Did your training end so early?"

"No, there is an "Iron Fist" match tomorrow, so today is a day off."

"Then you still come to run and play "Pokemon"? Are you physically strong enough?" Shui Hua worried that if Lin Shun didn't take a good rest, it would affect tomorrow's competition results.

Lin Shun subconsciously raised his voice and replied, "Of course it is enough! I am physically strong!"

Shuihua then nodded perfunctorily and said, "Okay, okay, my physical fitness is not as good as yours, and I can't stand talking while running. I have to concentrate on running."

"Okay." Lin Shun agreed and didn't speak anymore.

The two ran down side by side without a sound.

At this time, Zhuifeng suddenly opened the live broadcast room, showing off to the audience the spirit beast he just acquired——

Five-star Qingluan!

worth 18!
Currently the most valuable spirit beast in the entire "Pokemon"!

　Thanks for [Blooming Violet] 100 points reward.
