The reason why ideals are called ideals is precisely because they are too full, while reality is often heavy and backbone-like.
The system dealt a merciless blow to Cheng Yu's imaginary 110,000 points, without even giving him any chance to argue.
What's more, the system didn't even give Cheng Yu a chance to tell him about it.
After the system completed the calculation, he slowly said: "Although the logic stated by the host is biased, it will indeed bring a little data redundancy to the underlying logic of the system during calculation..."
Hearing this, Cheng Yu knew that his request had been achieved, so he magnanimously ignored the system. This was just a tough talk asking for trouble. Normally, Cheng Yu would definitely argue with the system. Ichiban - Data redundancy is redundancy. What is a little redundancy?
As a result, the system was able to finish the next sentence smoothly.
"So, although according to the previous rules, the points obtained by using firearms skills cannot be calculated into the task rewards, and therefore the reward bonus brought by the hidden tasks cannot be obtained, the system still encourages the host to discover the underlying logic problems, so The system decided to add the hidden mission reward bonus to the points earned by the host for gun skills during the duration of this mission. That is, in addition to the 1,726 points from the mission reward itself, this time During the mission, the host will receive 80% of the 25,050 points gained from firearms skills and the 80% reward bonus brought by the hidden mission. The two items total 26,777 points. Sixteen points, the bonus is 80%, which is 21,421 points after rounding. Therefore, the host will finally obtain 48,197 points for this mission. After deducting the points already obtained Twenty-five thousand and fifty points, the host will receive twenty-three thousand one hundred and forty-seven points at once."
Cheng Yu certainly disagreed with this.
But just when he was about to say the words "Don't worry" to prevent the system from recognizing this as "the final points earned for this mission", the system spoke first.
"Host, please stop messing around. If you want the benefits that the bag of diamonds brings to you to be counted as mission rewards, then the points that the bag of diamonds can earn for you are only 100 points."
Cheng Yu was stunned and blurted out: "Why?"
At the same time, his mind was racing, and he wanted to confirm whether he had reached 50,000 points when he got the bag of diamonds...
But the system undoubtedly understood his thinking again and said directly: "Host, you don't need to calculate whether you reached 50,000 points when you got the bag of diamonds. Regardless of whether you reached it or not, you were not upgraded at that time, so your profit will be Strictly abide by the rule that the points earned cannot exceed one hundred points, just as you were unable to redeem any new items that appeared after reaching level nine in the mall. Regarding this point, the system was tolerant enough and did not use this bag of diamonds. It would be very merciful to force the calculation to one hundred points."
Cheng Yu thought about it for a while and understood everything.
Indeed, the underlying logic of the system is unified. Since the system will not be upgraded during the mission, he will not be able to reach level nine, nor can he redeem the mall items that will only appear at level nine, so he will naturally have to be upgraded at that time. The reward cap is restricted by this rule.
One hundred points, even with 80% reward, is only 180 points, which is simply insignificant to Cheng Yu.
But why doesn't the system calculate in this way? This is obviously more beneficial to the system.
Thirty million U.S. dollars, which is almost 200 million soft sister coins according to the current exchange rate. The points reward is no longer capped, which is only 20,000 points. There is no reason for a system that has always been demanding to be generous suddenly.
The system once again seemed to have an insight into Cheng Yu's thoughts and said: "The system considers that the bag of diamonds has not yet seen the light of day and its value cannot be generalized, so it is temporarily shelved without considering the increase in wealth it will bring to the host. It will be later
After the host gradually realizes the bag of diamonds, the system will reward points uniformly based on each realization."
Cheng Yu understood.
These diamonds were parallel imports. Cheng Yu himself smuggled them back, so he naturally brought the diamonds back at the same time.
But from a legal perspective, these diamonds cannot be taken out openly.
Although this batch of diamonds is worth at least 30 million U.S. dollars, unless Cheng Yu has his own channels to digest these diamonds, if they are treated as parallel imports and are sold to someone on the street, this batch of diamonds may not even cost 10 million U.S. dollars.
not worth.
This has a lot to do with the actual value of the diamond itself.
As we all know, diamond and graphite are actually the same thing from an atomic perspective, and the only difference between them lies in their molecular structure.
In diamond, each atom is connected to the other four atoms, forming a three-dimensional structure. In graphite, each carbon atom is connected to the other three atoms, and it is layered, similar to stacking sheets of paper. In the end
This leads to the great difference in the appearance of these two allotropes.
From an essential point of view, diamond has high hardness and high thermal conductivity, so its practical uses are only cutting, grinding and making radiator tools in electronic products.
And graphite has far more uses than diamond.
From this point of view, the value of diamonds should not be much higher than that of graphite. This is due to the high hardness of diamonds and their irreplaceable use in cutting.
But the current market price of diamonds is at least hundreds or thousands of times that of graphite of the same quality, or even more than 100 million times higher. This price is not due to the practicality of diamonds, but only due to its use as an ornament.
Characteristics of collectibles.
Diamonds cannot even be used as general equivalents like gold, silver and other scarce metals, because the price of diamonds is not constant. Quality, cutting technology, transparency and even color, etc. will all affect its price. Even the same diamond can be used in different situations on different occasions.
Time also has extreme price fluctuations.
Therefore, even according to the current market price, this batch of diamonds is probably worth about 30 million US dollars, but once they are shipped in large quantities, the price will be significantly reduced.
To put it bluntly, the market price of diamonds fluctuates too much, and the Shenhu system is obviously not willing to conduct any valuation on items that do not have equivalent properties such as diamonds.
It can even be said that valuation is of no practical significance to diamonds.
The market price of the small diamonds in this bag is relatively stable, and it is difficult to fluctuate by more than ten percentage points. But for the large diamonds, when they appear in jewelry stores of different brands, their prices can even vary by more than double.
, let alone appearing at an auction.
Cheng Yu also has a little understanding of diamonds.
Although ancient people began to trade diamonds very early, the earliest can even be traced back to India in 400 BC. However, due to the backward craftsmanship at that time, the price of diamonds was not high.
In the 16th century, rose-shaped cutting methods began to appear, and diamonds began to shine and became more precious gems. However, they never became the leader in the gem industry as they are now. At that time, it was mainly because of the French royal family's pursuit that diamonds became more valuable.
Becoming the number one gemstone in Europe. On other continents, people pursuing diamonds are not so enthusiastic.
After the 18th century, Brazil gradually replaced India as the world's main producer of diamonds. Coupled with the emergence of brilliant cutting technology, diamonds gradually became popular around the world.
What really changed the status of the world's gemstone industry was that in the 19th century, diamonds gradually became popular in the United States, and a diamond mine with extremely high output was discovered in South Africa. A British businessman named Rhodes
He founded the later world-famous De Beers Company, acquired the entire diamond mine discovered in South Africa, monopolized the world diamond market, and controlled 90% of the trading volume in the diamond market.
In the middle of the 20th century, De Beers made a crazy marketing move, which is probably the most brilliant move in the history of world marketing. A diamond is forever, a diamond is forever (ADiamond Is Forever). This sentence is unscrupulous, extremely vicious, and inhumane.
The outrageous advertising slogan has completely established the status of diamond as the number one brother in the gem industry.
After that, a diamond mine with a greater output was discovered in Russia, but this diamond mine rarely produced large diamonds. They were all extremely small diamonds. Although De Beers was almost scared to the point of peeing for fear of causing a market collapse, the company
The company immediately signed a price alliance with the Russians, emphasizing that diamonds were equally precious, and began to formulate various industry standards.
This is where the 4C standards for diamonds come from.
It was only after the more brutal marketing and advertising that diamonds achieved their current status in the minds of modern people.
But in the final analysis, diamonds still have only a few practical uses, and their true value (philosophical concept) should be similar to graphite. However, in the economic field, prices do not abide by absolute value, but only abide by market laws and exchange value.
Diamonds are not a store of value, and their prices are greatly affected by market demand.
From a simple philosophical point of view, if the value of an item is linked to the amount of labor, the miners in South Africa earn only three dollars a day for mining diamonds. Even with the addition of modern craftsmanship such as transportation, cutting and polishing, the value of diamonds
It is still an extremely low value.
Therefore, when a diamond comes out of Africa, its price is less than one-tenth of the market price.
This has also resulted in diamonds being one of the most difficult items in the world to measure their price, not to mention that the diamonds in Cheng Yu's hands are all shady things.
The system is unwilling to exchange points for items whose prices cannot be measured accurately, and Cheng Yu understands this very well.
To put it bluntly, if Cheng Yu does not rush to sell these diamonds and has good corresponding channels, in a relatively long-term process, he can even sell them for well over 30 million US dollars.
But if you are eager to sell it and want to convert it into currency at once, it is really not even worth ten million US dollars.
But it is obvious that Cheng Yu will never be in a hurry to make a move. He is fully capable of opening a jewelry company, and then gradually consume the diamonds in his hands in a relatively long process to maximize their value.
What's more, this batch of diamonds brought Cheng Yu not only the benefits of diamond realization, but also the impact on the jewelry market as these diamonds gradually became available, that is, the market value of the company he founded.
By then, this batch of diamonds could bring over 100 million US dollars in benefits to Cheng Yu.
I just don’t know if the system will take into account the value of companies that have gained huge market capitalization due to this impact.
No matter what, Cheng Yu could at least use this batch of diamonds to obtain more than 20,000 points from the system in batches.
Although it was wonderful to think that this batch of diamonds could also get the 80% reward bonus, now that he has figured it out, Cheng Yu naturally stopped messing with the system too much.
Now, Cheng Yu's points have reached more than 77,000 points, which is more than twenty-two years of life. Cheng Yu feels extremely at ease.
What's more, diamonds will continue to bring him points in the future, which must be at least 20,000 points and a life span of about six years.
Therefore, Cheng Yu waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I am a tolerant person, so I won't argue with you. As for the diamonds, let's wait until the diamonds are cashed out before getting the corresponding points."
The system responded with scorn.
The system added: "In view of this mission, the host found a logical error in the system, so the system will reward the host with one hundred points."
Damn, you’re so stingy, it’s only 100 points without cap.
Well, better than nothing.
"At the same time, the system will provide additional explanations on the rules of system tasks. From now on, the task rewards that the host can obtain are limited to the rewards from the settlement of the task itself, the point rewards from any redeemable items in the mall, and all other non-
The points obtained by the task itself will not be judged as part of the task even if the points are obtained while the task is ongoing."
This means that from now on, Cheng Yu not only has to identify whether there are hidden tasks in the system tasks, but also can no longer use firearms to earn points in large quantities and obtain task reward bonuses.
Although Cheng Yu wanted to yell why, he finally endured it.
Rules are not fixed and Cheng Yu can twist them. But since the system has made supplements, Cheng Yu decided that he can bend and stretch on the premise that the other party can erase him at will from the physical level.
It’s frustrating!
Next, it’s about upgrading the mission system.
Unless Cheng Yu asks about this, the system will not take the initiative to tell him.
Just like last time, the mission system was upgraded from the novice stage to the primary stage. If Cheng Yu hadn't asked about the changes in the reward and punishment rules in the primary stage, the system would never have taken the initiative to tell him about these. And Cheng Yu would have had no chance.
Changed the punishment from a logical perspective.
Cheng Yu took the initiative and said: "The mission system has also been upgraded. Let's talk about the intermediate mission stage. Based on past experience, from the novice to the junior stage, the rewards and penalties of the mission have changed accordingly. So
, Now that we have reached the intermediate task stage, the reward and punishment system must also be changed, right? Oh, and there is also the issue of task length, that is, task difficulty, has it also been changed?"
This was the biggest change after the last mission system upgrade. Cheng Yu had experience this time and raised it all at once.
"Bah..." the system spat.
