Randomly pick a stand-in every day

But now that such an actual building has appeared here...

"Well! It seems that you already know how to use the mini-map. That's right, the auction house is the physical scene after the player's trading platform has been upgraded, allowing everyone to enjoy the authentic auction experience!"

Very well, speaking of which, Raleigh is very clear about where he is going today.

"How does this auction house calculate? Is it just a process, or is it a fixed time to start the auction?"

--------

PS: I’m sorry to say this, but Qizi recently encountered a bit of an unexpected situation, and has been busy with various things related to graduate school applications, and has to fill out very complicated and inexplicable forms...

Uh, the specific situation is not very easy to explain, so it can be concluded that there are some important academic matters, which will waste time, right?

In short, these things take up quite a lot of time, and the time for coding is obviously shortened, and it is not very planned. You see, I have agreed in the past few days to make up for the old old chapters and update them. Never got around to doing it...

In short, I would like to apologize to everyone. I will probably be busy with these matters for another two or three days. After they are resolved, I will have time to complete the supplementary changes, add changes, or add content such as the main character panel and volume summary postscript.

If these things have been accumulated and not written, it will increase the sense of confusion. Regular summarization should be somewhat helpful for the organization of the flag and everyone's reading.

In addition, let me explain in advance here, the next dungeon should be a solo mission that Raleigh, who has not seen for a long time, participated alone——

Although team missions will have a more complicated process and more fun points, the actions of other characters will also take up a lot of ink and ink. I accidentally wrote so many multiplayer copies in a row without knowing it. It is a long story. I feel a little tired already, and I need a little adjustment for simpler short stories.

What's more, a relatively large revision and enhancement has just been carried out. If you don't invest in the actual plot and move around, you always feel that the foundation is not stable.

To sum up, the next mission will be a short chapter with a relatively single-line process and a clear purpose. If you have anything you want to see, you can leave a message here, and the flag can be added to the follow-up copy list. The vacant arrangements in this regard are indeed relatively scarce. coming...

Chapter 620 Auction (?)

"Meow? What's the process, Meow doesn't seem to understand?"

When Raleigh asked suddenly, the Keeper Cat seemed not to follow his train of thought, and tilted its head in confusion.

"I mean, how does your auction house operate? As a game function, at any time of the day, someone may put something on the auction interface, right? So if you want to make this function into a real scene , how long should the auction be carried out?"

This doubt is obvious. If the rules of the auction are really followed, won't the efficiency of handling items become very low?

"Ah, that's what I was talking about. It's easy to solve. We just need to discuss it by category, okay?"

Keeping the Secret Cat tilted its head, and said as a matter of course: "The [Auction House] facility is placed in the west area that is mainly used for entertainment, so our production team's positioning of it should be obvious-a specific place mainly for entertainment. Cultural experience agency! Do you still remember that the advertising slogan of this game clearly stated that it allows players to experience the fun of unlimited adventure stories, right? Then when it comes to online fantasy literature, auction houses are not It’s also an extremely classic and necessary scene~”

"Ah... I'm thinking that the auction isn't an element of infinite flow, is it? Are you getting mixed up?"

Raleigh raised his eyebrows. The infinite template was not based on the auction. The style of the infinite flow should be "Lord God! Full body repair!", like "Jie Jie, this thing is destined for me" and then raise the price, anxious eyes , The process of killing people and seizing treasures, this is the plot of the fantasy novel!

"It's all ⑨ who cares about the details! Anyway, it's a mix-and-match style of writing based on a variety of story backgrounds, so as long as it's interesting, stick to the tape, and there will definitely be many players who like it!"

The Secret Keeping Cat gave a thumbs up, and a little star popped up in the blink of an eye. Such an old-fashioned statement and special effects made Raleigh seem to have regained the feeling of watching fanhumanities in the first two years.

"Hey guy, the sense of age has suddenly come up... Wait a minute? Did you answer my question?"

"... Meow, I'm just about to start talking! I'm so angry."

"please say."

Raleigh, who has always had a high resistance to cute things, did not respond to such a deliberate cuteness, and waited for the performance.

"That is to say, the offline auction is a new function, and the original online transaction can be kept as it is. The new physical auction is opened at a fixed time every day, and players must participate in the event to participate in the auction , the minimum guarantee and the upper limit of the lot will be relatively high?"

The keeper cat said, and opened the introduction of the building from the map, showing the rules of operation of the auction house.

Having had the experience of being cheated before, Raleigh caught a certain cat and studied it for a long time, and basically confirmed that this was probably where he was going:

The items that appear in the physical auction must pass the quality review to ensure that their quality is above a certain level before they can be successfully put on the stage;

In this way, the strength of the item has a higher guarantee, and the buyer is more likely to see a good item, and some rare items on the seller's side are more likely to fetch a good price. In various senses, Both are indeed options with a higher threshold.

"It's really suitable..."

With unnecessary expensive products in hand and a large sum of money in hand, it is indeed necessary to go to the auction house according to the tradition.

Interested in the auction, Raleigh searched for the announcement and confirmed the opening time of the auction house every day. Coincidentally, an auction will be held in about an hour. After this time, the preparation time is about the same. Just right?

"In that case, let's go!"

After confirming the position, Raleigh mobilized his internal strength to flow to his legs, took strides and rushed away, and with the assistance of [Earth Wind and Fire], he quickly ran towards the business district...

——[Raleigh is moving]——

It was less than a day since the main city was updated, and many players who saw the notification came out curiously to visit the brand new street.With the lively vigor of people coming and going, it looks like a real city at a glance.

Unlike before, the players no longer swaggered through the market with their respective IDs on their heads. Instead, the NPCs wore their respective identities as a striking distinction.

The passing players are generally "human-oriented", and occasionally some non-human individuals are mixed in, and their different clothing styles are intertwined. In terms of mixing and integration, the purity is much higher than that of San Francisco.

Among the crowd, Luo Li, who chose the earliest default novice outfit when he went out, was naturally an inconspicuous type. He listened to the conversations of passers-by intentionally or unintentionally. The people here make it look like they are in a tourist attraction...

"Looking at it this way, the new main city has attracted a lot of attention."

[West of the main city - business district]

Thinking of this, he had already entered the boundary of the West District before he knew it. Looking at the distance from the entrance of the street, the scene in front of him made Raleigh gradually... into embarrassment.

"Meow? Why do you have such an expression? Is there any problem?"

"This place... isn't it a bit, too realistic?"

Looking up at the pedestrian street in front of him, the shops on both sides, and the shopping buildings in the distance, Raleigh felt a little confused.

The scenery in front of him was so normal, it was no different from any ordinary commercial street in any city. If it weren't for the players in strange clothes walking on the street, Raleigh almost thought it was offline...

Generally speaking, shouldn't the scenes in the game be somewhat more exotic, or at least have a more design sense?

"Hmm... Each urban district has its own architectural style. The overall design concept of the commercial district is to restore the commercial city in reality. Is it natural to make this feeling?"

"It's okay to restore this, forget it, I'd better go to the auction house."

"Please go this way~"

Following the guidance of the keeper cat, Raleigh quickly found the rather conspicuous building. It looked three or four stories high, with a very gorgeous shape, and it felt more exaggerated than a five-star hotel.

Raleigh didn't know much about architecture, so after confirming the house number, he went straight up and met two welcoming girls NPCs:

"Welcome, what do you need?"

"It's almost time for the auction to start? Can I enter now?"

"No problem, sir. You need to pay 100 space-time coins to enter the venue. Who are you?"

"...?"

Ah, there is a fee to enter the door?

Hey, if I knew it earlier, I would have given Quaner 100 yuan less just now!

Chapter 621 Ask This AI Friend To Respect Your Work

"Huh? It's unfair to enter the entertainment venue that you agreed to pay for it."

In terms of assets, Raleigh is naturally not short of the 100 yuan, but he doesn't like spending money inexplicably, so he has to say a few words.

"A ticket of 100 space-time coins is required to enter the venue. How many are you?"

"I hear you. I'm asking you to explain the rationale for this charge."

"Welcome, what do you need?"

"?"

What's the situation with these two people?

Raleigh frowned, the two rereaders were just entertaining the family, why could they only say these two sentences, and the service attitude was too bad.

Just when he felt confused and wanted to step forward, a voice came from the room:

"Stop competing with those two Type [-] AIs, let me explain to you if there is any problem."

Raleigh looked around, and saw a man in security uniform coming out of the door, with the title of [Security Captain of Time-Space Auction House] on his head, proving his NPC identity.

"……Um?"

Unable to react for a while, Raleigh looked at the two waitresses again, and found that the two of them didn't look at the person who came out, and the expressions on their faces didn't change at all, as if...

"Don't look at it, just come in, don't worry about the two of them, that thing can only be regarded as a level of scene texture, it doesn't even have a collision volume, please come in."

"..."

Now Raleigh finally understood the meaning of the other party, but although he understood, the change of topic hadn't fully caught up.He frowned and went straight into the door, his shoulders inevitably came into contact with the outstretched arms of the two welcoming ladies; however, as the man said, there was no feeling of collision at all, and he passed directly through the two of them.

"...Is it just two phantoms?"

"To be precise, it is a "non-intelligent NPC", basically only a few fixed sentences, and does not respond to most interactions. "

The security guard corrected it. At this time, after thinking about it carefully, Raleigh suddenly realized that what he said was nothing new, it was the original meaning of the word NPC in normal games...

This abnormal game has been full of "highly intelligent AI" all the time, and the feedback is flexible and realistic, from the player's behavior to the name, all will give instant feedback.Being in such an environment for a long time, Raleigh has forgotten—actually, the modeling that just sticks to his own position and turns a blind eye to any actions of the player is actually what an NPC should look like in the traditional sense?

Hey, thinking about it, this main city seems to be full of such "normal NPCs"?

"...I understand that the two at the door are stickers, but in that case, what's your situation?"

Pointing to the identity on someone's head, Raleigh raised a question.

"Of course it's also an NPC, but I'm a type-three AI with a brain. Please come in with me. Standing at the door will attract the attention of other players, so it's hard to explain."

The security guard explained with a straight ball that didn't seem to fit the set identity, and then pointed out the way to the side room for Raleigh before the following players approached.

"what's going on?"

Suddenly he didn't understand the setting, and naturally Raleigh couldn't understand the other party's intentions, and his head was full of question marks, but it seemed that he might be able to save the ticket price, so he followed suit.

"Don't think about it too complicated. Most of the NPCs in the main city are non-intelligent or low-intelligence types, because their functions can be completed without having more intelligence. It is meaningless to invest in high-intelligence AI for this."

Brother Security said, before Raleigh could ask, he picked up the previous question himself:

"About tickets, this is actually a necessary act to limit the flow of customers. Although it is very entertaining, the meaning of "planning" seems to be to make the live auction into a relatively high-end place.

Therefore, not only do the items for sale need to be of high standards, but we must also ensure that there will not be too many people who come here just to join in the fun. After all, the population base of players is too large. not enough. "
