Xia Miaomiao lay weakly on the bed, looking very tired.
Du Shiyu spoke to her for a few words but didn't respond. He turned around and looked at her strangely and asked, "What's wrong? You've been listless since yesterday?"
"Uh...what did you say?"
"I said what's wrong with you? You look like you're worse off than dead. Are you bankrupt?"
Bankruptcy?
"No, no!"
"Let me just tell you, why did you have such a big reaction? I asked you, did you go to practice again without telling me, huh!?"
"No, how could I trip twice in the same place? Don't worry, don't worry!"
"That's good. Although the cost of refining is cheaper now, most people are still cheated a lot. A few days ago, a player went bankrupt and even sold his real estate. You should take this as a clue.
As a warning!"
"Okay, okay, why are you acting like my mother? Are you annoyed?"
"That's good...did you listen to what I just told you?"
"What did you say?"
"I don't know what you are thinking about every day... I asked you to find a job in life, but now everything costs money, and it's very expensive. How can you make some supplements by switching to a job in life?"
"Return to what?"
"Tailor?"
"I'm clumsy and can't do it. It's not like I haven't tried before. Why am I not a potion master?"
"There are too many people working as potion masters, and they can't make much money. The materials for making potions are expensive. Now newbies are starting to take up jobs one after another. Potion masters are popular. In the future, red and blue potions will be cheaper, unless you reach the intermediate level.
Be the top batch, but you are just starting now, so it is obviously impossible."
"Then why tailor?"
"There are barriers to entry for tailors, materials are cheap, and the things they make can be easily sold. If you look at the profit statement I made, apart from the sledgehammer (blacksmith), tailors are the most cost-effective."
"And where are the jewelry and scroll makers?"
"What are you talking about? Can you afford the recipe? The players who are working as producers now are not complaining. Any recipe can be put into the auction house. The materials are very expensive. The key is that there are few."
"The input is huge and the output is huge. Tailors are too mediocre."
"You, you, you can't change the old problem of being too ambitious and too weak. As a tailor, no matter how ugly your work is, as long as the system recognizes it, people will buy it. Now that there are more tourists, even if you fail and have no attributes, you can still handle it.
Give it to them, the attributes are useless to them anyway, how good it is, the harvest will be guaranteed during droughts and floods."
"But I can't hold the needle, and I get a headache when I see it. This is true in reality, let alone in the game."
"You are just lazy. When you become pauper that day, I don't think you can hold it anymore!"
"What are you talking about? You cursed me, bah bah bah..."
The two bickered every day and waited until the time was up before putting on their helmets, lying down in their respective game warehouses, and logging in to the virtual space where the visitor qualifications were drawn.
Nowadays, the game warehouse has become the standard for players, and the price of nearly 100,000 is not so unattainable. Even if you play like a beggar in the game, you can only earn copper coins. No matter how difficult it is to obtain, you can earn it every day.
You can also earn three melons and two dates. According to the current exchange rate, it is still a lot of money to convert into soft sister coins, but it is not as easy as before.
From this aspect, tightening the faucet is also inevitable. The scarcity of copper coins is determined by the scarcity of Canaan. The firm price of copper coins is also an intuitive manifestation of scarcity. If it is too widespread, it will undoubtedly overdraw the credit of Canaan.
A stable exchange rate, no matter how high it is, is beneficial to Canaan itself.
Almost every player has a game warehouse. The game warehouse is the standard equipment for offline access to the metaverse. The experience is better than other access devices. The audience is jumping around in various cartoon and animal images, which makes them look particularly smart.
Almost all of them are users of Game Warehouse, probably tens of thousands of them.
As the saying goes, once there are ten thousand people, there is no limit, but the reality is not like this.
The so-called virtual hall is a real live broadcast, and the virtual one is just an online experience. Thousands of real audiences don’t know that there are virtual audiences around them that they can’t see or touch, let alone that above their heads,
How many people's butts and heads overlapped on the shoulders and seats.
The atmosphere at the real live broadcast is very hot, and the same is true at the virtual scene.
"They are so disgusting!"
Angela and Rascal Rabbit held hands and finally managed to hang themselves on a projection lamp in the studio. They were condescending and had the best view. It was easy to find that the virtual audience around the few real beauties was the largest.
Some of them are excessive, and, and... forget it, it's very dirty anyway, so don't mention it.
With the experience of Canaan, this technology that combines offline virtual reality and reality is child's play. It is not new at all to players, but is very rough. But for people who have never experienced virtual reality technology, it is just like child's play.
It's totally science fiction.
There are also such virtual audiences at the scene, and there are quite a few of them.
Du Shiyu was talking to someone, but she didn't hear her best friend's complaint. Rogue Rabbit hit her with a leather pick in dissatisfaction and asked, "What are you doing? Who are you talking to so much?"
"Who else could it be? The school is talking about teaching."
"It's them again!" Xia Miaomiao was dissatisfied when she mentioned the school's five cute newcomers. "None of them know anything, and they still put on airs, as if we owe them. Let me tell you, Xiaoyu,
It’s better to move away.”
"Move out? No more jobs?"
"How many coppers is that salary enough? What we give them is far more than that salary, right?"
"You can't say that. Work is not only for money, but also for identity and position in society. It is also an ideal and a way to realize the value of life..."
"Okay, okay, I know you come from a family of high-level intellectuals...Oh, let's not talk about it anymore, let's start, let's start."
The posture of the players is relatively aloof, and they are completely in a melon-eating mode. The atmosphere in the virtual lobby is very relaxed, but this is not the case in the real environment.
Many people waited with bated breath, watching the extraction machine under the spotlight.
I just experienced the grand occasion of player qualification drawing not long ago, and this scene is not unfamiliar, but this time there are only 9,000 places, but I don’t know how many people are competing.
It is still a voluntary grouping method. However, the number of people in each group this time is very small, only 100 people. But what is consoling is that this is only the first batch, and there will be more tourist qualifications later.
There are also differences in the groups targeted. The restriction of tourist status not being able to experience mainstream games discourages many people. Most of the people who register for the lottery are middle-aged and elderly people who have retired and resigned.
This determines the overall atmosphere of this extraction, which is not that...intense, just like a pot of unboiled water, a little hot, but still bearable.
When the host pressed the button under the supervision of the notary, the first set of lucky numbers came out quickly. The response was enthusiastic, but the crowd in the virtual hall was a little dissatisfied.
That's it, that's it?
"It's not interesting, Xiaoyu. Why didn't anyone cry, laugh, or faint this time? As soon as the results of the last draw came out, the winner appeared on the big screen. The reaction was so joyful... Why did it happen this time?
No?"
"So you came here to see this?"
"Haha, if you don't look at this, what can you see? After all, it's just idle time."
"...Then let's go?"
"Don't watch it?"
"Didn't you say it was boring?"
"Then let's go!"
Angela and Rascal Rabbit passed through the virtual light door hand in hand and returned to their respective virtual spaces.
The virtual space of the game warehouse can be DIYed, just like some kind of business game. It can be constructed and arranged. There is a kind of virtual currency circulating, but its value cannot be compared with copper coins. It is provided by various service providers.
Value-added services provided.
Du Shiyu and Xia Miaomiao arranged their virtual space to look like the cockpit inside a spacecraft, which is based on a popular science fiction movie. The outside of the huge and transparent flight cabin makes it feel like they are really in the vastness of the starry sky.
among.
A huge blue planet rotates under the flight cabin. The service provider also thoughtfully provided some materials that correspond to reality, such as the International Space Station, satellites orbiting the earth, and spacecraft with various signals, etc.
By selecting the Earth, you can also get services similar to Guge Maps. It is quite a good experience to see what is happening in the real streets and alleys from the virtual space.
The two of them are becoming more and more accustomed to living in a virtual space, where everything is timely and convenient. Whether it is information or various entertainment, they can always be obtained in an extremely direct way.
Du Shiyu began to sort out various information about Canaan again, focusing on various analysis data. Xia Miaomiao didn't know what she was busy with, and looked at the virtual screen mysteriously, which also contained some confusing charts, and looked at it with gusto.
More than an hour later, the draw for tourist qualifications was still going on, and it was time for the two of them to play.
Landing in Canaan is like returning to reality from a virtual and illusory space, but Canaan is obviously illusory. This cognitive gap requires customer service from every player, commonly known as 'jet lag'.
As veterans, the two of them have naturally adapted to it long ago. It is the evening in the game. The afterglow of the setting sun is shining in the secluded and uninhabited safe area. A few NPCs are doing simple and mechanical interactions. When they see the players
After going online, they stopped one after another, just like store clerks waiting for customers to come to their door, smiling and waiting.
Area D104.
A new map that no other player has set foot on yet. After Du Shiyu and Fan Chaoyue discovered the [Suzuki Crypt], the system newly completed the teleportation point.
Only valuable maps will be specially marked and named, and there will be new safe areas and landing points.
As soon as Xia Miaomiao got online, she received a text message from Shao Bing, "Xiaoyu, Chunshui asked us if we can join his family."
"Family? Can he afford 50 gold? Didn't you say that he even mortgaged his real house to the bank?"
"They make a lot of money!"
"Looking at other people, and then looking at you, I don't know where all your money has been spent..."
"You're talking about family matters, why are you talking about me again?"
"Let's discuss it when Zhiqiu comes online. Who is there?"
"You don't recognize me even if you tell me..."
During the conversation, Fan Chaoyue also came online. As soon as he came up, he excitedly asked the two of them if they had watched the live broadcast?
Xia Miaomiao: "When I saw it, I didn't have much awareness. I just felt like I was following a process."
Fan Chaoyue said: "Our life will be much better when the tourists come here. At least we can solve the problem of eating. What do you call the NPC food? It tastes terrible."
Xia Miaomiao: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. What do you think about family matters?"
"Family? Can't we build one ourselves? Don't worry, I'll pay the big bucks, you can just chip in."
Xia Miaomiao felt guilty when she heard that she wanted to chip in money. Just as she was about to change the subject, Du Shiyu asked, "Just chip in? How much?"
"How much did you say?" Fan Chaoyue looked like he was not short of money.
"2 gold, right?"
"Okay, each of you will pay two gold, and leave the rest to me!" Fan Chaoyue patted his chest, feeling very angry.
The two were chatting lively. They noticed that Xia Miaomiao curled up her neck and said nothing, and asked her what she meant.
"I...it's so troublesome to build it by myself. For a family with three people, it wouldn't be a good idea to join Chunshui. It saves money, has more people, and is lively..."
"Wait a minute!" Du Shiyu finally realized that something was wrong with her best friend, and grabbed her collar, "Why is this priest's robe different from the last one?"
Xia Miaomiao hurriedly broke away, "Nonsense, it's the same one last time. You saw it wrong."
"Show me your attributes, hurry up!"
"...No!"
"You went to practice, you went to practice again, right? All the money was spent, and you still have the money you lent me, eh!?"
"..."
"You, you, you are going to make me mad!" Du Shiyu was angry and anxious, gritting his teeth, looking like he wanted to tear his best friend apart.
"Practice, isn't it fun!?" Fan Chaoyue was on another channel.
"Hurry up and show your attributes!"
Du Shiyu was really angry, and Xia Miaomiao did not dare to make a mistake. She honestly and awkwardly changed the light and properties of the priest's robe to [Exhibition] state. Immediately, a rich light blue aura emerged from her body.
[The psychic robe of a small sapling, quality: blue, score: 1017, durability: 15/34, professional requirements: one turn to level 20 silver priest (silver medal or above), load carrying capacity: 4.
Advanced attributes: Special effect [Psychic Armor] - Being attacked activates a psychic armor that can absorb 150 points of damage, lasting for two seconds. Special effect [Earing and Seeing] - Perception of invisible targets +5 (mental extension attribute).
Special skill: [Half Moon Slash] - Actively fires a half-moon shaped light blade towards the locked target. The basic attack power of the light blade is 30% of its own magic (divine spell) attack power. It has a stun effect of 1 second and charges for 1 second.
Cool for 5 minutes.
Special skill: [Praise of Tias] - Actively activates a halo that restores health. The halo covers a range of 5*5 and lasts for 4 seconds. It restores the health of itself and no more than 5 friendly targets every 0.5 seconds. The minimum recovery is
30% of own health, maximum 70%, minimum 15% of friendly target, maximum 45%, chant: 2 seconds, cooldown: 5 minutes (Note: Requires belief in Tias, the goddess of life and harvest.)
Rare attributes: None.
Refined attributes: 104 times, equipment soul bound, item name changed.】
Du Shiyu and Fan Chaoyue were both stunned.
With dual special effects, dual stunts, and 3 basic attributes of blue equipment, it is already a top-notch blue equipment.
The special effects and stunts are so practical that they cannot be described as top-notch.
In particular, Tias’ Praise has never been seen on other equipment.
What's the matter with this "one needs to believe in Tias, the goddess of life and harvest"? Can a priest believe in anything else?
Are there other gods in the system?
"Xiao, Xiaoyu, I didn't hide it from you on purpose. I was afraid that you would say that I..."
"Did you wash this equipment yourself?" Du Shiyu pointed to the temporary properties of the priest's robe and still couldn't believe it.
"Of course"
"Washed 104 times!?"
Facing the disbelieving look in her best friend's eyes, Xia Miaomiao lowered her head weakly, "10 coppers at a time, actually... it's not much."
