Xie Changting looked at the latest exchange rate K-line chart and was puzzled.
Before the launch of the server, the market sentiment was obviously promising, and some traders said that the price of copper coins might even reach a high of 1:10.
After the server was launched, there was a short-lived small positive line, and the copper coins exceeded 1 to 8. It was at this time that Hsieh Chang-ting entered the market, thinking about making a fortune and earning some pocket money.
But why has it fallen now?
As soon as the market opened today, it continued yesterday's decline. By noon, it plummeted even further, from the highest level of 1:8.17 to the current level of 1:6.69, losing almost 20% of its market value.
This time the system has not been compromised. On the contrary, players have discovered that the explosion rate has been lowered. In the past, if you hit two or three mobs on average, copper coins would be released, elites would be released, and BOSS would even release gold coins.
Nowadays, the mobs basically don't give anything. If the elites are lucky, they can only give out two or three copper coins, which are like beggars. Silver coins are even more unthinkable.
Since the source of money has shrunk, shouldn’t we be bullish?
"You don't understand this. When most people think it will definitely rise, it will definitely fall. When it is worse than bearish, it will most likely rise. If you guess it, I lose..."
Brother Ruoran, who was studying the map of the Alpha plane, said.
"How do you know?"
Zhang Miao, who was also studying the map, asked.
"He's an old leek!" Erniu said with a smile on his face, "When I met him, he was still sleeping under the overpass, just trading stocks."
"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Miao was amused.
When Brother Ruoran was exposed, he looked a little confused. He changed the subject and said, "Don't worry about the exchange rate. It's only a few dollars. Come over here. We have to settle the territory issue today."
Hsieh Chang-ting then turned off the computer and came over to look at the marks made by several people on the Alpha map. He pointed at the most eye-catching red circle and said, "Is this location not in the list of land that can be allocated? I can't remember it wrong."
“I didn’t say it was here, it was its surroundings.”
The location marked by the red circle is the most essential part of the original Demon Farm. After the two battles, there are still some valuable things left, and it is also close to the 'Water Curtain Cave', which is the only place known to produce magic pets. Therefore, it has become the place where players seek family peace.
Popular on private property.
"There must be many people interested in such a good location. Which institutions have we outbid for?"
"You have to give it a try. If it doesn't work, just stay here."
Brother Ruoran pointed to a basketball hoop and said.
This location is close to Alpha City and is located on a main road that must be passed in and out of the south gate. The part painted black on it has been occupied by others. The little land left is all fragmented and is about to be filled with black.
Full.
"This place is okay. We can hire a few NPCs to open a shop in the future... Do we have enough achievements?"
“More than 30,000 yuan is not enough for two pieces of land.”
"Only more than 30,000?"
20,000 merit can be exchanged for a 5*5 meter private territory, which is 25 square meters. For the sake of convenience, players call it one piece of land. Two pieces of land are 50 square meters. This land is indeed small, with more than 30,000 square meters.
Merit is not enough.
Merit is a hard currency that is stronger than copper coins. It is very popular with local tycoons and institutions. The current price is strong and has not plummeted like copper coins.
1 The market price of meritorious service is 117 soft sister coins, which is not easy to get. There are rumors that it will increase in the future.
But there is an example of the copper coin exchange rate. Xie Changting can't believe it. Who knows if the banker deliberately let the news out and is preparing to cut another wave of leeks?
"Collect a little more and make up 40,000 yuan. Those two acres of land should be barely enough."
What can be built in 50 square meters of space? It is better to use it to upgrade military rank or buy the lowest noble title.
Xie Changting had such an idea, but saw that his companions were all in high spirits, so he didn't say anything.
Next, I looked at four or five places that the system marked could be classified as private territory. None of them were as good as the first two. Nowadays, online and offline speculation in the Yuanverse land is booming. What is a home for one's soul, and what is permanent?
Property rights, complete autonomy, and no need to pay property taxes... Even if the veteran players had not originally had this idea, they were still enthusiastic about it. However, the door frame for entry was too high, and the 20,000 merit points were enough to deter most people.
So...the merit points will continue to increase?
Xie Changting was a little unsure again.
"Then it's settled. During the insurance period, let's charge a little more and try to win the land No. 113."
Private land has a land deed, and the land deed marks the location of the scheduled auction. 20,000 is the lowest price for a piece of land, and there is no upper limit. If many people are interested in the same piece of land, the highest bidder will get it, so 40,000
Merit, you may not be able to win these 50 square meters.
In this test, the line congestion was even worse than before. Five people could not get on the line. Fortunately, there was a 20 cap in front of them, and with their previous experiences, Zhang Miao and the others were not in a hurry. They might as well accumulate
Get priority in line and make more preparations offline.
Brother Ruoran contacted the institutions and individuals selling merit, and hurried out with Erniu and Hsieh Changting. Before leaving, he told Zhang Miao to contact the design company that had been negotiated and come up with a practical plan for the 50 square meters of land.
Feasible construction plans are available.
Building a house in Canaan is not like reality, where everything is ready-made.
Starting with the most basic bricks and tiles and wood, you have to do it yourself and determine the source of each material. You can either buy it from the system's black store, order it from real-life players, or go to the wild area to find it yourself. If it doesn't work, you can still do it yourself.
...In short, every brick and tile cannot fall out of thin air, and a lot of money and energy are required.
The so-called design company is not an ordinary design company. It must have qualifications in this area, that is, it must be very familiar with various products, prices, acquisition methods, etc. in the game. It must try to use the easiest materials to obtain, at least
The lowest cost, the shortest time, the easiest solution to implement, to satisfy customers.
There are only a few such companies now, but each one is a very popular 'unicorn'. Some companies are jointly founded by several lifestyle and leisure players, and are very popular in the market. Zhang Miao this time
The company I contacted falls into this situation. There are only a few people there. I heard that the valuation has reached tens of billions and it is about to go public.
The designer who came here is not a player, but he is very familiar with the customs and rules of the game. When it comes to the sources and production of various materials, he is very knowledgeable. Many real players like Zhang Miao don't know this, but he knows all the treasures.
Zhang Miao was basically satisfied with the plan.
The 5*10 meter site is designed as a two-and-a-half-story building. The first floor is the facade, the second floor is for living, and the third floor is a half-story that can be used for landing and resurrection.
There is no way, we must leave enough space for the system to be used as a teleportation array, and the price of a teleportation array is also very high. Calculated as a whole, plus the value of the merit itself, the cost of building this two-and-a-half-story building is extremely high.
amazing.
Is it necessary? Spend tens of millions for this home that you don’t even know whether it will be used or not?
Five people can still come up with this money, but is it worth it? Is it better to invest the money in other areas?
Zhang Miao became suspicious.
"Can't it be built higher?" asked the eldest cousin.
"It's already the highest, and the material strength doesn't allow it."
"...That's it?" The eldest cousin looked at Zhang Miao, who said, wait until Brother Ruoran and the others come back to discuss it.
Brother Ruoran's trip didn't go well either. The negotiated price suddenly changed and the other party offered 120 points of merit. He also had a cruel attitude and asked whether he wanted to buy or not.
"What kind of organization is so unreliable?"
"If it's not an institution, the institution won't sell it. They say it's out of stock... do it!"
"ah!?"
“But I see the price online has not changed.”
"The price is fake and deceptive. In fact, there are not many merit products still circulating in the market, and some people are sweeping up the goods in large quantities."
"Sweeping the goods? How much does it cost? Can you finish the scan?"
No one knows how many achievements have been released in the two expansion packs. With such a high price, how much money must be invested before the circulation starts to become tight?
That's really an astronomical number.
"It's easier to accept if you compare it to real estate development in reality..." Xie Changting said eagerly, "I estimate that if the price of 117 cannot be kept hidden for too long, the merit will rise, and it will rise dramatically. The total number of veteran players will only be a few
Even if each person has an average of 20,000 points, how much is it? Two hundred million points of merit? How much is 117 points? How much does it cost to support tens of billions of dollars? In reality, the larger commercial real estate in first- and second-tier cities cannot compare? "
"How is it possible? How can ordinary players have 20,000 points in their hands?"
"Yeah, the five of us together only cost over 30,000 yuan!"
"So... this plate looks big, but is actually very small?"
Several people looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Monopoly!"
"But... it is a game after all, and merit is still a bunch of numbers after all..." Zhang Miao was still a little skeptical, but the others were different. Some took out their mobile phones, others surfed the Internet, and contacted agencies, looking anxious.
appearance.
"I said, what if the system releases water again?"
"It's impossible, at least not in the near future."
Zhang Miao: "Why are you so sure!"
"Because the newbies in the fourth test have not grown up yet, and because there is still a level 20 cap, a new expansion pack is released at this time. Is the system going crazy?"
"You just said that when everyone is bullish, it will definitely fall..."
"Now is a special situation..."
"...Why do we have to build this private territory? We can't really live there, and it's not convenient to do quests to clear monsters..."
"You, you, why are you so stubborn? We don't live in it, we can wait for it to appreciate in value, rent it out,... forget it, I won't be able to tell for a while."
Several people contacted each other anxiously. The one who offered 120 re-priced 130, and Ruoran took it without hesitation. He also contacted several small and medium-sized institutions, with an average premium of 20%, and won a total of more than 20,000 merit points.
It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when everything was done. A few people completed the transaction negotiated offline as soon as they went online. Several million real money was spent from the public bank account in exchange for a bunch of numbers.
There wasn't enough cash in the account, so several people pooled together hundreds of thousands more.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the merit points indeed skyrocketed.
"Crazy, all crazy!"
At the Demonic Castle City Hall in the Alpha Plane, Zhang Miao sighed as she was squeezed out as she watched the players coming to bid for family and private lands.
A huge map hangs on the wall in front of the city hall. The city owner Yaris marked the number of each land deed and the corresponding location and area on it, and then hung it up for auction.
The land that had been promising for a long time soon appeared in the auction sequence. When the announcement time came, the starting price of each piece of land immediately soared from 20,000 to 31,000.
It was not until the 35,000 position that the momentum of crazy bidding eased.
Zhang Miao and the other five people looked at it dumbfounded. At this price, the merits they had on hand were only enough to get a piece of land.
Soon, this piece of land will no longer be available.
40,000 merits, 50,000 merits, 60,000 merits, it took less than half an hour in total, and the first piece of land with the best location has exceeded 150,000 merits, and there are still people bidding on it.
The atmosphere at the scene was frenzied. Many people were waving "tickets" representing merit points, as if they were pieces of waste paper. Brother Ruoran's eyes were red with anxiety. After his bids were rejected in seconds one after another,
, said fiercely: "I still don't believe it, I can't even get a piece of land with 70,000 merits!"
"What do you want to do!?" Zhang Miao was horrified to see that he changed the photo to another relatively remote piece of territory, because the one they had chosen in advance was no longer enough to bid on.
"If you can get it, it's victory, no matter where it is!" Brother Ruoran turned around and said with red eyes.
"Calm down, calm down... please give me some advice!" Zhang Miao quickly mobilized the others.
Unexpectedly, others also agreed with this decision. Hsieh Chang-ting was even more radical than Ruoran, "I can fucking see that people are setting the pace online and offline... Lao Nie is right, if you can get it, you will win, no matter what
Where is mom?"
"Ah!?" Zhang Miao was dumbfounded.
60,000 or 70,000. Soon, even this remote territory would not have enough bidding.
The land king with the best position has soared to 500,000 merits per piece.
OMG!
How much is 500,000 merits for a piece of land the size of a palm, 5*5?
"Also, are there any cheaper ones?" Brother Ruoran anxiously looked for them on the auction page.
"Page 17, No. 404, 63,000!"
"Give it to me, 74,000!"
"Are you crazy? How can you bid like this?" Zhang Miao was anxious.
"Momentum, momentum, if you want to scare those guys who want to pick up leaks, you have to show momentum!" Hsieh Chang-ting shouted as he marked the price.
"But...where is No. 404?"
"No matter where the hell it is... we'll talk about it after we take the photo."
Finally, after more than an hour of fierce competition, those who did not have enough merit began to be eliminated. The price had reached the point where they could no longer bid. The land king was infinitely approaching 1 million merit. Please note that this is just a piece of land.
I don’t know whether they were lucky or unlucky, but Zhang Miao and the others knew that no one had bid for land No. 404, and 74,000 was also their total assets.
As the bidding time for the first piece of land ended, red areas were filled in one after another on the map, announcing the completion of transactions of astonishing value.
"Please, someone come and support me, someone come and support me!"
At this time, Zhang Miao already knew that No. 404 was there. His face turned green and he did not dare to tell his companions. He only prayed silently in his heart that there would be other enemies who would lower their bidding price.
It's a pity that when the bidding time for one ended, the price of 74,000 was still strong.
