Chapter 887 The economic turmoil caused by the free sect war
Chapter [-] Economic turmoil caused by the free sect war
The head of the player can launch a war against each faction at any time. This is a manifestation of the autonomy of the head of each faction. But at the same time, it may also be the fuse that creates a catastrophe. If it is set, the game system quietly opened a bloody Pandora's box, a game strategy that encourages or even instigates players to PK and increase the recovery rate of game resources.

Of course, as a game system that retains the welfare currency expenditure of martial contribution points, it is understandable to adopt this strategy of recycling a large amount of game coins by promoting PK consumption among players. After all, no matter how the game system is sanctified, it is just If a product produced by a game entity company blindly outputs resources to players without recycling them, through the exchange system of game currency and display currency, the boss of the game company, even if he is the richest man in the world, will soon be Will go bankrupt because of not making ends meet.

Whether Lonely Cloud will go bankrupt after the sect system is upgraded is naturally not what Fang Jie is currently considering. Whether Wangqing Pavilion will be launched by rival sects at the beginning of its establishment is not what Fang Jie is worried about now. Because it is useless to worry, this kind of thing will inevitably happen, he is not so narcissistic that everyone will treat him like a god and dare not commit crimes, and the only solution at that time is to use soldiers to block him, and water to cover him, so now I started to worry about this matter, which is really meaningless behavior, and it is also a waste of brain cells.

He just felt that once the various factions could open the sect war without restriction, it would inevitably have an unpredictable impact on the existing economic system in the game. Of course, the factors that caused this impact were not only the unrestricted sect war , including the upgrade of the sect system, the cancellation of the classification PK function and other factors, but still the same sentence, the sect war is the fuse. Once the sect war starts, many contradictions in the game economy will be highlighted.

The reason why there is such an inference is actually very understandable. Although the sect war is just a battle between two sects, the one-month sect war consumes an astonishing amount of game resources. The "game resource" mentioned here ", including not only various consumable items, but also game resources converted from all non-monetary items such as attributes, skill levels, equipment, etc. that players have dropped due to their second death during the sect battle. After all, these resources are also money, so Players exchanged a lot of equivalent labor time.

If the martial arts system is upgraded before, players can still bear such consumption. After all, martial arts wars will only start automatically when the hatred value of the two factions reaches a certain critical point. During this period, players will have enough time to recuperate and accumulate game resources. , but the current situation is hard to say. It is very likely that several or even dozens of sects are in the state of sect war at the same time in the Jianghu, and even after the sect war with a certain sect is over, they will fight with each other again. The other sects fought, and with such a huge waste and consumption of resources, Fang Jie believed that the entire game economic system would definitely usher in a winter of shortage of supplies in the near future.

Because the various factions fight and kill, the ultimate benefit is the game system that recovers resources, let alone, anyway, it is impossible for the game system to be refunded to the players for free, but you must know that players It takes a certain amount of time to spend a certain amount of time to gradually accumulate the various pills consumed and the loss of relegation through various game activities. If this consumption cannot be effectively controlled, so far, players The various game resources and props we have accumulated in this game for 20 years may be completely consumed. By then, the prices in the game will inevitably skyrocket, and even the price of the unstoppable Potential Pill will also rise crazily.

Of course, perhaps due to limited economic strength in the early days, the heads of each faction would not and would not dare to launch a sect war so frantically, but this kind of thing does not need to be crazy at all. With two factions fighting, the economic system in the game world will crack and collapse quickly.

The reason is very simple. On the one hand, the so-called three fires for a new official to take office. At the beginning of the promotion of the head of each faction, by fighting one or two victorious faction battles to boost the morale of the faction and the prestige of the faction in the world, that is almost It is inevitable; on the other hand, with the development of the game to the present, many players have reached the level of masters, and the upper limit of martial arts contribution has already reached the condition of practicing their martial arts to the full level. Mysteriously brushing advanced martial arts cheats, I rarely go to sect missions, so once a full-scale martial arts war breaks out, the few consumable items stored in the warehouse by the players will be used up by them in a short time, and then transformed into a pile Data is recycled by the game system.

When the next sect battle occurs, players will find that the living bone elixir, dragon fruit, and Haotian fruit that can be seen everywhere or even thrown around in the usual sect missions are not enough, so they rush to the auction house to buy them. But I found that the number of these things in the auction house began to decrease sharply, and at the same time, the price began to soar, and finally the price rose to an unreasonable but still rising price!
Well, since it’s too expensive, and you can’t take it in battle, then we don’t need it, it’s a little troublesome, and you need to spend more time meditating to recover, but at this time players will realize that since the recovery of qi and blood The prices of vital medicines have increased, so will bodhi seeds and relics, which increase the upper limit of internal strength and energy, also increase in price?
Hurry up to the auction house to have a look, and sure enough, it's gone up, all up!Now, if you want to replenish the upper limit of internal energy to the bottleneck value of internal energy in the future, it is not as simple as eating bodhi seeds or Tianshan snow lotus every other hour, but it will take a lot of time to meditate from the upper limit to the lower limit. Twice the internal force is slowly approaching the upper limit of the internal force bottleneck!
Well, I still have to spend the money that should be spent. After all, I still have to go to the main story dungeon, solve puzzles and get super martial arts cheats, and seek revenge from the enemy sect. In short, I don’t have time to sit down and meditate slowly, so these No matter how expensive the pill that increases the upper limit of internal strength is, you have to grit your teeth and buy it!
But then players will find that not only the prices of those pills have risen to an unimaginable height, but even the price of the cheapest potential pills has started to rise over and over again. In the martial arts battle, there is no damage-free function for martial arts PK. During the period, there are too many people who died heroically and were killed by mistake. In addition, everyone is at the master level anyway. It takes too much potential to recover skills once you die. This person bought hundreds of millions of potentials. As long as one-third of the players in the game die, that's several trillion potentials. It's no wonder the price doesn't go up!

As soon as the prices of these consumable items increase, the prices of daily necessities, food, housing, and transportation also begin to rise. Players will find that it used to only cost 1 tael to buy a meat bun in a relatively affordable player restaurant, but now, it has risen to 5 taels of silver. In the past, it only cost 1 penny to buy a disposable water bag, but now it costs 10 pennies!

And the player owner of the restaurant is plausible, saying that he knows the "pork price increase incident" in the real world back then?Just because the price of pork has risen, all prices have risen several times in just two or three years, and the same is true in the game.Production, manufacturing, and running a business are also costly for life players. In the past, it only took three days to raise a pig through the poultry life system, but now some people are reluctant to buy such common consumption pills as living bone elixir and nourishing essence pills. And raising pigs by sleeping to recover, but it takes only half a month to produce one pig. The output is low, and the price of meat in meat buns will naturally go up. Of course, you can also buy consumables to raise pigs, but the cost Higher, and so on for other daily necessities. In short, it is difficult for you martial arts players, so it is not difficult for us life players?
Well, since it’s difficult for you, it’s difficult for me, and it’s difficult for everyone, then let’s save money from now on, stop fighting martial arts, stop engaging in super martial arts, I’ll do it myself, have enough food and clothing, and honestly do martial arts tasks. ?

But as soon as they returned to the sect, the players suddenly discovered that now it costs money to find the head NPC to receive the sect task. One tael of silver will be deducted for each sect task. After raising the "Sect War Fund", after returning to the practice room, the players found that the rent of the practice room was increased by 1% by the master, and the title was still "Sect War Fund". It was discovered that the head tax deducted from the bank account by the sect system also increased by 10% yesterday...

Well, anyway, this increase in expenditure is not too much. For the sake of the faction, for the overall situation, and for the collective sense of honor that cannot be eaten, I endured it. , but found that there are more people killing people and stealing goods in the world, the reason is very simple, in the eyes of many players, doing martial arts tasks is not as fast as grabbing other people's things, the players immediately slapped their heads, others can do it, so can I what!

As a result, players once again fell into endless killings, and game resources fell into a vicious circle of constant scarcity...

Although the above are some inferences made by Fang Jie based on the cancellation of the restrictions on martial arts battles in the game system, some may be exaggerated, but the general development trend is definitely like this. I can think of these, naturally benefiting from the fact that I followed the money in the past. With the experience of potential pill hype, presumably at this time, game envoys such as money never leave his hand and medicine pot must be secretly planning and planning this matter.

Obviously, this development trend is extremely detrimental to the game economy, but Fang Jie feels that if he can foresight, it may not be a huge opportunity for the future development of Wangqing Pavilion. Of course, Fang Jie just insists on this. Cautiously optimistic. After all, the game system is not a fool, and it will definitely not just push itself into the endless abyss. According to Fang Jie's guess, after the game system upgrades the martial art system that is directly related to martial arts players, it is very likely that There will also be a comprehensive upgrade of the living system, and finally let the living system, which accounts for a small proportion in the game world, support the daily wear and tear of the martial arts system.

Of course, these are just Fang Jie's own guesses, and he didn't continue to think about the specific changes in the living system. After all, the most important thing right now is to think about the pros and cons of the upgrade of the sect system , so after reading the system description after the sect system was upgraded, Fang Jie exchanged ideas with Feng Lin who was far away in Mount Emei via SMS, and offered to ask Feng Lin to leave him a temporary deputy head in the Emei sect. Practicing positions, because only by actually participating in the management of the sect system can we truly discover the problems and solve them. Fang Jie has never done anything he is not sure of. Before the establishment of Wangqing Pavilion, this is a necessary step.

Feng Lin naturally agreed to Fang Jie's request without saying a word. After all, in her opinion, a smart person like Fang Jie could be the first to become an official of her Emei Sect after the sect system was upgraded. The future development and operation will have great benefits, and it can also play a certain role in stabilizing the morale of the army. Presumably at that time, even if the top of the Emei faction makes some decisions that will harm the interests of the disciples in the early stage, Fang Jie's reputation will definitely be able to temporarily calm down the army. We can live with them. In short, this is a win-win cooperation that is beneficial to both parties, and everyone is happy.

After getting Feng Lin's approval, Fang Jie's attention shifted from the system explanation to the first stage of the sect's system upgrade—the sect's first apprentice competition. His mental state has been completely relaxed, because the reason why he pays attention to the sect's first apprentice competition is purely to get some votes and be a scalper who sells votes.

Fang Jie first thought of the Xingxiu faction. After all, in Fang Jie's opinion, after Wangqing Pavilion was established, the first faction to start a war against Wangqing Pavilion was probably Long Xiaotian's Xingxiu faction, so if you can take this opportunity to be disgusted The other party is a good idea.

However, after Fang Jie thought about it, he dismissed this unrealistic idea. The reason is very simple. Although the Xingxiu Sect may have left a large number of disciples after the sect system was upgraded due to the adjustment of the defector system, the entire Xingxiu Sect overall It seems that he is still monolithic. If he goes to participate in the Xingxiu sect's sect head apprentice competition, even if he finally wins the championship and gets [-] votes and the eligibility for sect head candidate, it will be difficult to shake Long Xiaotian's status, so this It was completely useless, and maybe I became a joke in the end.

After throwing away the idea of ​​going to the Xingxiu Sect to make trouble, Fang Jie went through the other sects one by one in his mind. Finally, Fang Jie thought of an interesting sect, which almost died out under the control of the Xingxiu Sect. The sect is still unclear, thinking of this, Fang Jie couldn't help but smile knowingly, and sent a text message to Xinxin of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, the content of the message was nonsensical: "Wait for me to go to the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau to wave the flag for you!"
