"Wake up, please. The system can't possibly compensate you. If we compensate you as soon as something goes wrong, then the game won't be able to be opened?"
"I'm so angry. In the end, I got the advantage of those newcomers."
"This is a lesson. You should remember it next time you start a group and clear the place in advance."
"But those people can't be beaten and scolding doesn't work. How can we clear the place?"
"There is always a way. They can't always be at level 4 or 5. They have to change their jobs. Even life players can't do it without changing jobs."
"Uh... Xiaoyu, do you think it's possible that there are people stuck at level 4 or 5 who don't want to change jobs and specialize in doing this kind of thing?"
"It's possible, but the gain outweighs the loss. Opportunities like this don't come every day. Would you use a precious player qualification to do such a thing?"
"...That's true... Oh, what are you thinking about?"
A newly built small foreign-style building in Wudu University was originally designed to improve the accommodation environment for external scholars and professors. The European and American designs and even the decoration style are the same. After Xia Miaomiao and Du Shiyu were promoted to 'lecturers', they were specially
We made special arrangements and allocated a house to them, allowing the two of them to realize their dream of a large single-family villa ahead of schedule.
The living room on the first floor, usually used for classes for the five new players in the school, was transformed into a computer room. Two game consoles were placed in a partition connected together. Du Shiyu and Xia Miaomiao were wearing game helmets, but they did not log in.
Games, but surfing the Internet in the metaverse and Internet of Things mode.
The two can see each other's operations. In the virtual space, two virtual cartoon animals represent their respective images. Du Shiyu is a Garfield cat, sitting in front of the virtual computer console typing on the keyboard, and Xia Miaomiao is an An.
Kira, carrying a small lipstick box, jumped up behind Garfield to watch her operations on the computer screen.
"Uh... I calculated the changes in costs and benefits of making red and blue potions."
Between the two of them and Fan Chaoyue, Du Shiyu has been making the potions, but he is no longer as enthusiastic as he was during the first test. The potion master is no longer the same as before. The speed and efficiency of making money are not the same, and the income has been maintained at around 60%.
.
Don't look at the 60% rate of return, which is already very high. This is in the game. With this little game time, even if you go to work, the rate of return is far higher than 60%. Moreover, in addition to the time cost, there are also material costs and labor costs.
Go in.
"Basic red and blue potions are now priced at 1 silver per set. The price is relatively strong. The total materials are about 35 coppers. The physical consumption is equivalent to a bottle of stamina potion..."
"How can one bottle of stamina potion be consumed..."
"Measurement is measured by breadth... If you don't understand, don't interrupt."
"oh"
“The cost of time plus labor actually makes no profit... I won’t do it in the future.”
"Ah, don't. If you don't do it, I will have to buy it. One silver set is too expensive."
"I haven't seen you calling 10 silver or 20 silver expensive before."
"Can we compare before and now? By the way, Xiaoyu, how many gold coins do you still have?"
"What do you want to do? You've spent all your money again?"
"No, no, I still have more than one gold."
"One gold is more, wasn't there two gold more yesterday?"
"Isn't this a team battle... Okay, okay, anyway, I didn't spend anything frivolously. It's not like I didn't gain anything this time. If I sell 5 pieces of green equipment, I'll make money."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Don't worry about it. Lend me 1 gold first and I will return it to you after I sell the equipment."
"I haven't paid back what I borrowed last time..."
"Is it possible to make a profit this time?"
"You said that?"
"Um!"
Seeing that her best friend agreed, Xia Miaomiao became happy, sat back and continued typing on the virtual keyboard of the Yuan Universe.
Hang 5 pieces of green equipment on a player's internal trading platform to cope with the constant flow of inquiries.
"...Sister, I dropped this equipment, can you give it back to me cheaper?"
A stranger sent a pleading emoji and a message. Xia Miaomiao smiled coldly and quietly raised the price by 5 silver.
"The draw method for tourist qualifications has been introduced."
"Ah, where is it, where is it?"
“Go check it out on the official website”
Xia Miaomiao is no longer in the mood to care about her own business. The inflation of green clothing for the occasion is too great. I wonder if 5 green clothing can be sold for 2 gold. Money is becoming more and more valuable, but there is no way to get the money.
It's getting narrower and narrower. After all, she didn't make much money even though she was busy with this game. She also failed once. Two sets of red pills and a pair of shoes with special effects were revealed. They were priced at 1 gold and 50 silver.
It's hanging.
1 gold 50 silver?
Crazy poor is this?
The way to open the official website is to take a "teleport" and be transported to the virtual lobby of the official website address. What you can see in it is a variety of animals and cartoon images, and it is noisy and crowded with players who have game warehouses.
The announcement on the official website scrolled on the light screen in the center of the hall. Angela, carrying the red password box, jumped up and down with another Angela, overlapping and passing by.
"...There are 1,000 reserved quotas again. Is Canaan Company going to carry out the secret operation to the end?"
"Unrepentant!"
"We have the only business in the world, so we can do whatever we want. It's useless even if you protest."
"This store is really bullying customers. I really hope a competitor comes out."
"Competition? Another Canaan game? Stop joking!"
"Drawing method or voluntary grouping? Do you have a skill? What is a skill? Does being able to program count?"
"Not really. It should be cooking, mining, carpentry, blacksmithing, etc. The more basic and primitive the better."
"I can cook instant noodles..."
"Why are you just a player joining in the fun?"
"I asked my family members. My mother owns a restaurant and the food she cooks is delicious."
While listening to the players' rounds, I read the details of the tourist qualification draw. The first batch of 10,000 qualifications was predetermined to be one-tenth. I don't know how many people competed for the remaining 9,000. The probability is higher than the draw for player qualifications.
Low.
But it’s uncertain. Once you have tourist status, you won’t be able to qualify as a player. Most people will definitely not be so active, right?
Do your parents have a chance?
When I thought of this, I had no intention of staying any longer.
I logged off, took off my helmet, and sat up from the game room. After staying in the virtual space for a long time, I felt a little uncomfortable when I returned to reality.
Xia Miaomiao called home. Her mother was playing mahjong. She heard about the draw for tourist qualifications and didn't care at all. There was no mahjong to play in Canaan, and even if there were, there were no suitable poker partners.
Her dad was quite interested and asked her if fishing could be done in the game. When he found out that it was possible, he immediately agreed. After asking for more than ten minutes about registering for a group, he agreed to do it right away.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Miaomiao was a little happy. If her father was brought in, wouldn't it mean that she would have a 'life account' to support herself? If nothing else, just materials, food and drink could always be solved.
Well, the fish her father caught can also be sold, and the price is quite high.
Xia Miaomiao's father knew that his daughter was trying to support her elders, so he drove the car to register that afternoon.
The registration point is at the Civil Affairs Bureau. There is only one window allocated to a working group sent by Canaan Company. It is a prefecture-level city. There are still many people queuing up to register. They are all middle-aged and elderly people who have nothing to do at home after retirement.
, Dad Xia also met two fishing friends, and they started chatting in the noisy hall.
As soon as they heard that her daughter was a real player, the two fishing friends were not happy. One said, Lao Xia, you hide it very well. You have such a profitable daughter, why are you afraid that others will snatch her away?
One said, "Then why do you drive a shabby Hyundai? Why should you drive a Passalati and a Rolls-Royce to achieve the status of a gamer's father?"
"No matter how much the child earns, it belongs to the child. We, the old couple, have no shortage of food and clothing. We are thankful that she doesn't ask for it from us. She relies on her daughter to support her. I, Xia, haven't gotten to that point yet, haha..."
Dad Xia pretended not to care and gained great satisfaction from the envy and jealousy of his fishing friends.
More and more people came to register, and the hall couldn't hold any room. They gradually lined up outside the door. Some young people, especially a group of children wearing primary and secondary school uniforms, blocked the way outside and kept making special noises.
It's dazzling, and there are parents who came with them. They said that they have the consent of the school and home, and there is no age limit for tourist status, so why are they not allowed to enter...
A fishing friend lamented that society is developing too fast and changing with each passing day. In the past, playing games was not a real job, but now you see!
Another fishing friend said, what kind of era is it now? In the metaverse, everything is interconnected. From now on, people no longer have to work, they can just lie down at home, and let robots do everything.
“It just becomes too fast and I can’t keep up,” said the first fishing friend.
The emergence of the Canaan game has made the Metaverse and Internet of Things technology advance by leaps and bounds. The huge demand has given rise to huge economic effects. With huge economic effects driving it behind the scenes, technological development is also changing with each passing day.
The Canaan game itself does not have much technology that has spread to the outside world, but it is just a demonstration effect, a huge influence and centripetal force, which is enough to tilt a huge amount of resources, manpower and material resources in this direction.
The Metaverse has become popular and fashionable, and anything related to it is favored. Some people are waving money for fear of not catching up with this wave of trends. The technology and equipment that originally only stayed in laboratories and small areas are growing rapidly.
Speed comes to the application level.
Various access devices are emerging in an endless stream on the market. The first International Metaverse Ecological Technology Standards Seminar held in Munich last week paved the way for unified specifications of technology and seamless access of various devices.
Many leading technology and Internet companies have begun to implement Yuanverse office, which allows them to have zero-distance contact and negotiation with colleagues and customers who are thousands of miles away without leaving home.
Others, such as Metaverse shopping, Metaverse tourism, Metaverse teaching, Metaverse personalized customization, Metaverse industrial production, etc., are endless. The concepts and ideas are more advanced than the last, more science fiction than the last, and they all have a basis for implementation.
As long as the relevant infrastructure continues to be implemented like this.
Dad Xia arrived relatively early, but after queuing for several hours, there were still not many people around. The working efficiency of one window was too low, so he waited until everyone was about to get off work before queuing closer to the window.
At the window like Ding Yizhen, the staff were very angry when they were told they had to work overtime, and the service attitude was not good. When it was Xia's father's turn, he crouched down and talked to the staff inside, and supplemented the information and relevant certificates before getting the certificate.
a number.
Using this number, you can participate in the 'voluntary grouping' initiated by the official website. The mode is similar to the fourth player qualification draw, but there are more requirements for "making a long-term plan".
This requirement is almost the same as no requirement at all. The official definition of what a skill is is also very vague. If all engineers were recruited, there would be no draw this time.
I just finished my work in the evening. When I got home, Xia's mother was still playing hard at the mahjong table. Xia's father called his daughter and said that the procedures had been completed and asked her to help choose which group.
Xia Miaomiao received the call and approved of her father's action, and then excitedly selected groups on the official website. This one was auspicious, that one was smooth, and this one seemed to have special meaning, so she just had to find a fortune teller to tell her fortune.
Du Shiyu's parents are both high-level intellectuals. They are more reserved. Their mobility is not as high as that of Xia's father, and they are not willing to join in this extremely unlikely event. When Xia Miaomiao came over to ask her opinion, she saw her speaking softly.
Discuss it with your parents and urge them to go through the procedures.
"This kind of thing is not positive, and I don't know what your parents are thinking."
"The probability is too low."
"No matter how low it is, it's better than nothing, and it doesn't take much effort."
"I told them, they queued up all night, but there were more people than expected."
"No, my dad just called and said that the road at the registration office is closed, and even the aunt selling Shandong pancakes is queuing up, saying she wants to sell Yuanshi pancakes."
"Haha, Yuanverse Shandong pancakes are so sentimental, we can also eat them in the game."
"Everything in the game has the same flavor... Oh, by the way, you and Fan Chaoyue went to explore the new map. What did you find?"
"No, just a little reputation reward."
"What's the new map?"
"What is not illuminated is the new map. There are many scenic spots. Today we found a pool that looks like a Yin-Yang fish. It is in a cave. There is a material called [Suzuki] growing around it.
It can be used as a staff."
"Wow, didn't that happen?"
"It needs to be of a certain age and shape. This kind of wood grows very slowly. We have finished harvesting it. We bought less than 50 silver in total."
"That's alright. Well, as you put it, exploring new maps is really a way to go."
"Are you coming or not?"
"Forget it, I have something else to do."
"What's the matter? Aren't you maxed out?"
"It's just something, don't ask."
"It's so mysterious, it's definitely up to no good!"
The tourist draw will be tomorrow and will go online in the evening. Xia Miaomiao first sold the equipment obtained in the team battle, recovered 1 gold and 75 silver funds, and borrowed 1 gold coin from Du Shiyu. After adding the deposit, she collected enough 4 gold coins.
.
Without telling anyone, I found a secluded safe area and quietly came to the training NPC.
"The last time, the last time!"
She took out the lucky + 2 ring that she had lied to her best friend about, but had not sold. She put it on and murmured nervously, her best friend didn't know that practicing this kind of thing would make her addictive, and Xia Miaomiao had already
