Walking on the way to the subway, everyone looked at the world curiously.
"There doesn't seem to be anything special here. It feels almost like the real world."
"No, there are some differences in some details. For example, if you look at the clothes of these people, they are much more monotonous than in reality. The men all wear similar clothes, and the women all wear skirts, and no one seems to be wearing pants."
"Also, have you noticed that the text uses traditional Chinese characters. At first I thought it was used in some places. Later, I noticed that every place where words appeared, they were all traditional Chinese characters."
"Look, this street is very wide, but there are two lanes that are always empty of traffic. No matter how crowded the other lanes are, there are still no cars on those two lanes."
"Please keep your discussion voice down so that no one finds out." Fatty found that these people's surprised voices were too loud, which attracted the attention of some passers-by. Originally, a group of ten of them would attract more attention, but if they really attracted attention,
If you are in danger, it will be cool.
"This is the Tang Dynasty Empire!" The fat man stunned everyone with just one sentence.
Tang Empire? Is this time travel? No, it should be ancient times after time travel! The official of this game is too careless, and they don’t even bother to think of a new name.
"You can understand that the Tang Dynasty never fell and continued into the modern world." Fatty understood what everyone was thinking.
"That is to say, if the Tang Dynasty had not perished and the Li family had been emperors, we would be like what we see now."
"You can understand the world you see now in this way, but this is not our real world, maybe it is an imagination."
The fat man pointed to the road and said: "Those two lanes, one is for government affairs, and the other is for the royal family. The government lane is for official vehicles other than private cars. Public transportation also uses this lane. The royal lane is of course the royal lane.
It is exclusively used and other vehicles are prohibited from driving. Not every road and every city will have it, but Los Angeles, where we are now, is the second largest city in the country, so there is a royal road. "
Even one lane is reserved for the exclusive use of the royal family? If the royal family does not come to Luo City once a year, won't this road remain empty for a year? These people who have not personally experienced the supremacy of imperial power can only sigh in their hearts, how terrible
The overbearing imperial power!
"We are almost at the subway station. Let me make it clear to everyone. Don't discuss these things when you get in. It's easy for people to identify you. If you have any questions, hold them back for now. When you get to the base, you can ask whatever you want.
"The fat man's tone was serious, and everyone understood that the fat man would not make random mistakes. Although they didn't quite understand the situation, they were all cooperative.
"Huh? You don't need to buy a ticket for the subway?" Someone discovered this detail. They originally thought that the old player Fatty would help them solve this problem. After all, they are all newcomers and cannot have the currency here, but Fatty can have the map, and the money will come naturally
That's it.
"It turns out that I chose the subway instead of a taxi because it's really cheap. No, it's because the subway is free." I thought to myself, but the fat man had warned me not to talk nonsense before, so no one said it out loud.
Photos of Emperor Tang wearing traditional imperial robes can be seen everywhere in subway stations and inside the subway. He is a middle-aged man, and his bearing is naturally majestic.
"If a family has been emperor for so many generations, the emperor must be handsome." Xu Qian made some comments on the appearance of the Tang Emperor in his mind. "Even if the father's bloodline is originally mediocre in appearance, which emperor doesn't love beauties?
With improvement from generation to generation, the final descendants will never be bad, unless one generation of emperors is lame and likes ugly ones." Xu Qian thought of this and secretly laughed to himself.
Despite the fact that he is usually not enthusiastic about people, and even doesn't like beauties like Chen Xiaolu, in fact, Xu Qian still prefers to pay attention to other people's appearance.
There was silence all the way, and after ten stops, the fat man led everyone off the subway.
"Why are we going into the office building?" Everyone murmured in their hearts when they saw the fat man taking everyone to an old office building called "Junshi Commercial Building".
When they came to the gate, the fat man said in a relaxed tone: "We don't have to hold it in when we get here."
The fat man turned his head and brushed his face on the instrument next to the door, and the door opened automatically.
There were two young girls at the front desk. One of them saw the group arriving and greeted them warmly: "Welcome everyone. Members can do their own activities. Non-members please go to the front desk to register first."
The whole group was very confused, what was going on? To return members? Could it be that the fat man took them to some high-end shopping place to earn his commission?
The fat man smiled and said: "Listen to me, everyone, the stronghold is not officially provided by the game, but is formed by some players' spontaneous organizations. You must know that everything has a cost. For example, this building also requires rent. Others provide it.
A stronghold gives players a place to rest, so we should apply for membership. If we don’t want to, we won’t force it. It’s just that in this strange Tang Dynasty empire, it’s difficult to even have a meal.”
"What can I do here?" You can spend money, but you have to let people know where the money is spent first, right?
The girl at the front desk said with a smile: "As a Junshi member, you can enter and rest at any time, so you have a safe place to stay. If you order food, we can also provide it here, but you need to pay extra. Also
, because we are a gathering place for players, we have also become a message center. If you need to do tasks to earn points, it is very important to obtain news. We even provide acquisition business, currency exchange business, information transmission business and various commissions
Business. Of course, some businesses will have different fees depending on the situation.”
Everyone was stunned. They didn’t expect that this stronghold could produce so many derivative businesses. The game itself is free, and even everything officially operated by the game is free, but these strongholds have nothing to do with the official game.
, it is organized by the game players themselves according to their needs. For example, Xu Qian, if he has the financial strength and is willing to do this, he can also set up his own stronghold to compete with this Junshi Commercial Building, as long as there are players willing to come.
.
“How much does membership cost?”
"It's 500 yuan a month. The free benefit you can enjoy after becoming a member is to enter this base and get an accommodation room. Of course, if the accommodation room is full, there is nothing we can do. We can only arrange according to the order of the queue, but even if there is no accommodation
Even if there is time, members can also move around in the public areas.”
It costs 500 yuan a month to have a place to stay, which doesn’t sound expensive. Staying in a better hotel for one night costs 500 yuan, but this is in the game. The longest time you can enter the game in a month is 12 days.
And there is no guarantee that there will be a room. If it is always full, wouldn’t the money be in vain?
"Can I take a look at the accommodation first?" Someone made this seemingly reasonable request.
The girl at the front desk still answered with a smile on her face: "It's full now. If there are guests renting it, we are not allowed to enter."
Just when everyone felt that it was indeed a trap, they heard the girl at the front desk say, "But we also have rooms that have to be paid for separately."
A price list appeared in front of everyone.
One-star guest room 1,000 yuan/24 hours
Two-star guest room 10,000 yuan/24 hours
Three-star guest room 100,000 yuan/24 hours
One hundred thousand a day? Everyone was stunned. The presidential suite in a five-star hotel cannot reach this price.
"The above are all charged on a membership basis. There are still available rooms now. Sir, which star rating do you want to see?" Faced with the question from the beautiful woman at the front desk, the person who had previously asked to take a look hurriedly
Shut up, let’s just play a free game. The basic membership fee of 500 yuan must be carefully considered. How did he get the confidence to see other people’s star-rated guest rooms?
