Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 215 What is the longest road in the world

As for Lin Lan at this time, he had already taken Akashi to the beach some distance away from the store.

Even after two o'clock in the afternoon, the weather is still sunny, but there is already a bit of chill in the sea breeze.

It is indeed winter.

"Commander, I was wrong meow, I promise I will never steal everyone's materials again meow..."

Because he was called alone by the commander, but the commander didn't say a word on the way, the little profiteer became more and more worried, and even took the initiative to admit his mistake again.

"Well, it's best for you to have this kind of consciousness. Although I know that your nature is hard to change, this guarantee may not be valid until tomorrow."

Lin Lan chuckled, he was thinking about how Jian Qianou would ask him to clean up the house after arriving in Yunhai City.

Now that Akashi has taken the initiative to speak, let's talk about the plan to make money first.

So Lin Lan straightened the collar of the commander's uniform around his neck, turned around and bent down to pick up Akashi from the ground.

Seeing the smile on the commander's face, Akashi heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that the commander didn't plan to care about the explosion today.

As a result, just as she thought so, the next second, Lin Lan's words caused Akashi's cardiopulmonary arrest.

"Akashi, I remember you still have a lot of painted equipment boxes, right?"

"Woo meow... Well, that's all Shiranui's doing, I, I just help her meow..."

Lin Lan couldn't help being amused when he saw the yellow cat eyes of the little profiteer in his arms turn away, and his face was full of embarrassing excuses.

"There's no need to explain. How can I know what you two profiteers did? I don't want to blame you. Why are you so anxious?"

Afterwards, Lin Lan briefly told Akashi about his plan to cheat the Admiralty at the trade fair.

"Oh, Commander, this kind of thing is not easy, let me analyze it for you slowly meow~"

After learning of the commander's plan, Akashi's soul of a profiteer suddenly burned, shaking a pair of green cat ears, showing a sly smile.

"Since the commander is already the big boss of the organizer of the fair, the rules of the fair are set by the commander meow."

"A simple auction, the income is too low meow, I have rules that make them want to stop meow~"

Hearing what Akashi said, Lin Lan hugged Akashi, let the little profiteer sit on his arm, and asked curiously:

"Oh? Tell me?"

"First of all, the commander can come up with a piece of equipment that everyone is eager for."

"Then, we can make a lottery machine and use this piece of equipment as a prize, so that people who participate in the trade fair can buy the qualifications to draw this piece of equipment."

"Of course, in addition to this grand prize equipment, we can also put some other small rewards in the prize pool, such as blue equipment boxes, blue equipment design drawings and so on~"

Hearing what Akashi said, Lin Lan immediately understood what was going on.

As the president of the Western Continent Academy of Sciences, the organizer, he naturally has the power to modify the auction mechanism.

And Akashi's method is equivalent to changing the original auction of the fair into a krypton gold lottery mechanism in the game.

First, an extremely rare grand prize is released as the finale of the lottery pool, and then the participants are asked to spend money to buy a lottery qualification.

In the United States of Oran, basically all the chess pieces and ship girls are equipped with white outfits, and blue outfits are extremely rare.

Then he only needs to take out a piece of purple equipment as the finale, put some blue equipment boxes in the prize pool, and it will make the people in the Admiralty go crazy.

But what those people didn't know was that the blue equipment box he put in was Akashi and Shiranui's white equipment box painted with blue paint.

Basically, only white equipment can be opened in it.

I have to admit that Akashi's proposal is very good, but Lin Lan suddenly showed a strange smile.

"Akashi, I think we can modify it based on your lottery pool mechanism."

Seeing the weird smile on Lin Lan's face, Akashi suddenly felt as if he saw a colleague, tilted his head in doubt and asked:

"Meow? Commander, is there any better way?"

Lin Lan began to explain Akashi's doubts:

"Think about it, we use purple equipment as the finale item, and those who draw the lottery find that they can't get it no matter what, will they question that we have deliberately lowered the probability?"

"At that time, once the number of lottery draws exceeds their psychological expectations and they haven't drawn the purple outfit, they will choose to stop or directly make trouble with us. This is not good, right?"

Hearing what Lin Lan said, Akashi also realized the problem, and nodded blankly:
"Then... Commander, do you have any improvement measures meow?"

Lin Lan narrowed her eyes and smiled:
"We can change the lottery drawing method of this trade fair to online drawing through mobile phones, so that it will be convenient for us to operate in the background."

"Since everyone will suspect that we have lowered the probability of the lottery, why don't we simply disclose the probability of the lottery?"

"We made it clear that the probability of the lottery draw is [-]%, but the mechanism needs to be changed."

"For example, the probability of getting purple equipment in the first hundred times of the lottery draw is 90.00%, and every ten times after that, the probability will increase by [-]% until it reaches [-]%."

"And in order to stimulate some commanders who think they are unlucky to draw a lottery willingly, we can also set up a guaranteed exchange mechanism for the prize pool."

Lin Lan's voice is like a greedy demon, every word is full of temptation:

"For example, in the prize pool, we can set up a special item called Prestige Gems. Eighty Prestige Gems can be exchanged for this purple equipment."

"But with the probability of the ultimate gemstone, we can target everyone in the background and operate secretly."

Lin Lan paused, and continued to explain to the sluggish little profiteer:
"For the first forty pieces, we can set it to have a 20.00% probability of being drawn. From No.40 to No.70, we can change it to [-]%."

"This makes those who feel that they are unlucky think that they can exchange for purple clothes through the exchange of ultimate gems."

"You have to know that once people invest in costs and get stuck in the quagmire where the end point can be seen, it will be difficult to pull out."

Hearing this, Akashi was already dumbfounded, but she quickly realized that there was a problem here:
"Yeah, Commander, there are only seventy gemstones, where are the next ten?"

Lin Lan snorted and said calmly:

"From No.70 onwards, this person's probability of drawing the ultimate gemstone will be reduced to 5.00%, but at this time a new item called the ultimate gemstone fragment will be added to his prize pool."

"The probability of getting the ultimate gem fragments is [-]%. Five ultimate gem fragments can be exchanged for one ultimate gem."

"Then, when this person accumulates the No. 70 nine ultimate gems, the fun will begin."

"In the future, it will be impossible for him to draw the ultimate gem and the ultimate gem fragment. In his prize pool, he will unlock a new item called the lucky crystal."

"The lucky crystal has a very high probability of being drawn, with a 50.00% probability. Twenty lucky crystals can be exchanged for one ultimate gem fragment."

"Then when he changed to the fourth ultimate gemstone fragment, which was only one step away from the last ultimate gemstone..."

"We can unlock another new item with a 90.00% probability in his prize pool, called Binglibao Sword."

"Ten Binglibao knives can be exchanged for one lucky crystal...but it doesn't matter, because at this time he has basically reached the final guarantee of winning the purple outfit with a 90.00% probability."

After listening to Lin Lan's words, Akashi was stunned, as if his brain was not enough.

Even though she has been in the profiteering industry for many years, she has never seen such a lottery mechanism that is comparable to a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.

And the scariest thing is that, generally speaking, people will choose to give up when a certain amount is drawn in the lottery.

But the lottery mechanism proposed by the commander will tell you directly that as long as you are willing to draw, you will definitely be able to get this purple outfit.

"Yeah, Commander, where did you learn these routines meow... so scary meow..."

Carefully calculating in his mind how many prize draws would be needed to obtain the purple outfit, Akashi found that it would definitely be an unimaginably huge sum of money.

The little profiteer suddenly shuddered.

So, Akashi asked her commander with a trembling voice.

Regarding Akashi's question, Lin Lan just smiled lightly.

In his vicissitudes of life eyes, mixed emotions of remorse, unwillingness and anger flashed for a moment, as if recalling the past when he was in Blue Star many years ago.

In the end, all the emotions in his eyes were restrained, and he let the chilly sea breeze hit his face.

Lin Lan looked at the cute little profiteer in his arms, and slowly said with a smile:
"Heh, Akashi, let me tell you, the longest road in the world is the routine that your commander used to do..."
