The pen in Zhang Miao's hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and could not fall down.
It’s like having a dream. When I woke up, I found that I got nothing except wasting a lot of time and energy.
The business representative of Hongshan organization was very patient. He sat opposite the conference table and was chatting and laughing quietly with a beautiful employee in professional attire. On the other side of the conference table were five brothers in distress, Zhang Miao, Hu Xinmin, Ruoran, Xie Changting and Erniu.
Among them, Tsai Changting and Erniu were the most active. They had long wanted to escape from this mud. This transfer was also the most active. Brother Ruoran was different. He was like a dead fish who had reached the shore, and he only knew that he was panting, looking unwilling and painful.
Hu Xinmin also tends to transfer, and he goes to the fucking "Metaverse Real Estate" development. That is really not a job that ordinary people can do. So far, five people have invested all their wealth in the land in the Alpha plane, and each of them owes a lot of debts. What's the result?
Once they saw hope, new resource points appeared in the newly grown maps of Alpha, which led to the appreciation of some remote real estate. This is secondary. The business opportunities brought by the popularity that followed were enough to allow huge investment to see hope for returns, and if there was hope, you could grit your teeth and persevere.
Unfortunately, they are not such lucky people. They have not discovered new resource points in the direction of Mist Town. Although they persist, they have not had a chance to turn the tables, but they really can't afford to spend it.
The level limit has been relaxed, and the game process has begun to accelerate. Until now, Brother Ruoran has not reached the maximum level, which is really not worth the loss.
After fierce quarrel, today's scene was created. It was useless for Brother Ruoran to strongly oppose it. In the end, everyone still had to bow to the capital.
"Or what if you think about it?"
The business representative of Hongshan organization was a little impatient and stood up and said, "The beautiful woman in her professional attire."
"Waiter, even Old Nie has signed, where are you going to be so busy?"
Erniu urged anxiously.
"But this agreement is too harsh, we can't make a profit, let alone waste time and energy."
"They bid the highest...Brother, I beg you, stop the loss in time. We are players, not merchants."
"Yes, yes, with this time and energy, isn't it better to do something than this?" Tse Changting also persuaded him.
"Then... sign it, don't you regret it in the future?"
"Stop talking nonsense, the future is the future, let's take care of the present!"
Zhang Miao had no choice but to pick up his pen again and signed his name on the agreement.
"Uh, happy cooperation!"
The business representative of Hongshan Institution and other lawyers from both parties confirmed the truth, breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out their right hand with a smile.
"Grass!"
Brother Ruoran roared and jumped up, ran out with red eyes.
Zhang Miao and Hu Xinmin did not move. Xie Changting and Erniu enthusiastically held the business representative's hand and said some words of gratitude...
"Don't worry, the rest will be completed within two working days. You guys are waiting to collect the money, haha..."
In fact, it doesn’t take that long to wait. That afternoon, Zhang Miao’s bank account received a huge sum of money. After repaying all foreign debts and high interest, the five people divided the money, and each of them lost more than 7 figures of money. This is not about time and energy investment... Why bother!
"This time I will be a lesson!"
Hu Xinmin relieved his companion who was filled with low pressure, "If you don't have that big head, don't wear such a big hat. We should just do the task honestly and upgrade. This kind of thing is not something that people like us do."
"You will definitely regret it, surely!"
Brother Ruoran became Xianglin Sao, and 'I will regret it in the future' became his catchphrase. Xie Changting rolled his eyes and felt dissatisfied with him. He endured it and did not spit it out.
If Brother Ruoran hadn't persisted until now, he wouldn't have lost so much. Fortunately, he and Erniu woke up early and did not spend too much time and energy on this...
"Forget it, look forward." Now that things have come to this, Zhang Miao can only say that.
"That's right, we are gold medal players!" Hu Xinmin also loudly cheered his companions.
"Next, we are going to return to the right path. Stop doing those distracting energy that are not irrelevant!" Erniu said with some advice.
"Start again, the five people work together, and the profit is cut off... Come on, touch it for a moment!"
Tsai Changting stretched out his right hand.
Zhang Miao and others shouted very much: The five people work together, and they can cut off gold and grasp it.
In the end, Brother Ruoran was still glaring at the mystery. Zhang Miao secretly kicked him before he woke him up.
"You will definitely regret it, you will definitely regret it..."
Brother Ruoran was muttering the same thing, and the last one placed his hands on the back of his folded hands.
Others pretended not to hear.
"... Recently, a revenue statement disclosed by the famous Yuanshi Investment Institution Hongshan Capital has attracted widespread attention from the industry. As a newly emerging Yuanshi Investment Institution in China, Hongshan Capital has successively invested in nearly 100 Yuanshi Unicorn companies, all of which have obtained amazing returns. The generous returns have made the subscription market of Hongshan Institutions so popular... One of the Yuanshi Real Estate Projects with a valuation of 18 billion meters has even triggered the industry. This is the first authoritative assessment of the commercial value of virtual assets in China and internationally. The North American accounting firm participating in the audit and evaluation responded to the industry's doubts, believing that the commercial real estate products owned by Hongshan Institution in the Alpha Plane in Canaan are of great value. The value of the goods is not real or virtual, but in the supply and demand relationship..."
"Switch off this damn TV quickly!" Xie Changting roared with blue veins on his face.
"No matter how much money it is, it has nothing to do with us!" Erniu shouted loudly on his face.
"You will regret it, and you will definitely regret it in the future..."
Erniu looked full of his face: "Damn, are you still finished?"
Tsai Changting also broke out: "These 18 billion was taken to the other person's 'Qiao Canaan', not our place where birds don't poop, you have to figure it out!"
"Anyway, you will regret it, I have a premonition..."
Well, there is no way to communicate.
"Neuropathy!"
Xie Changting slammed the door and left angrily. Erniu left after smashing the TV remote control with his face. The remaining three people sat in a silence for a few minutes before they left.
It was launched in the evening, and Zhang Miao was preparing to upgrade the team mission and return to the mainstream process of the game. Hu Xinmin and Ruoran were both here, and Xie Changting and Erniu were full of excuses that they would not come if they had something to do.
The shadow of the disbanding enveloped the three of them, and the next time it seemed listless and tasteless.
There was no normal game for a long time. Zhang Miao found that everything has changed now, with many tourists, and many new people and new things have emerged, which makes people overwhelmed and gives birth to a sense of urgency that doesn't wait for me when I am.
The "illegal buildings" outside Chenxi Town are demolished and demolished, just like leeks, and they cannot be cut clean. Many leisure players set up camp here, without using good building materials. They just dig holes on the ground and build sheds on it, which is equivalent to building a home in the Yuanyun Universe. Many small workshops and small factories are located in these simple and cramped places. A large number of tourists gather here and are hired to engage in various livelihoods.
Zhang Miao and the other two bought supplies at a potion workshop. Not to mention, the current price is really touching. The primary red potion that used to be 1 silver set now only costs 50 copper. They also accept barter, which is used to exchange for materials.
The potion workshop is lit with black smoke. It is said that it is also a DIY product of a certain workshop. The oil comes from the subcutaneous fat of a certain monster. The only advantage is that it is large and cheap.
There were more than a dozen tourists sitting under the dim light, and were conducting preliminary processing of the materials for making red and blue potions. Because it was a piece-based salary, everyone was so busy that they had no time to look up. Zhang Miao asked about their income and found that they were already comparable to the real gold collar.
These people are relatively "honest" and are characterized by their age, most of them are outside of 60. It is really difficult to get them to adapt to the rhythm and atmosphere of the game. This way of making money is the one they are most familiar with.
This type of tourists is more popular, and they are short of them. The wages are rising and rising again and again. As the workshops compete with each other, they have long turned over and sang serfs.
The workshop's biggest expenses have also been replaced by the acquisition of raw materials to their piece-based wages.
After buying potions to replenish supplies, the next step is to repair the equipment.
A forgeer Zhang Miao knew was a reasonable fee, but he had moved. The player also set up camp in this illegal building. There was no way. The rental system was too expensive and he was competing for his peers who were desperately compressing costs.
Repair the equipment on the whole body for only 10 copper. The forging players also worked hard to sell them all kinds of small things they created, many of which have no attributes.
For example, the lasso trap used for hunting.
"You don't know this, right? Magic pet, the system is too expensive. Tools like me are of good quality and cheap. As long as I find the right place and place them on the monster's necessary route, make sure that one set is accurate. If you are lucky enough to get a cub, don't this magic pet have it? It's only 2 copper, which is still expensive?"
After much persuasion, Zhang Miao and the others sold five sets of such traps. The forging players also enthusiastically helped them update the map, focusing on the rumors that there were some cubs in those places.
In addition to the forge's workshop, a team of players riding tall horses came towards him.
These players were dressed in glamorous, and their equipment was showing off in a slutty way. The rich blue aura of light really blinded their eyes. The headed minstrel's professional equipment was still an elf. Under the dim light, it was like a hero who came out of the Lord of the Rings movie, making people unable to move their eyes at first sight.
Zhang Miao looked at his body again. He used to be fine, but now he can't keep up with the situation. He couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
Hu Xinmin said, I now know why Lao Xie and Erniu are not here.
Zhang Miao and Ruoran didn't say anything, but just watched the team of glamorous players whizzing past each other silently.
Other wine-making, steaming buns, DIY making clothes and accessories without attributes, buying and selling primary building materials, collecting various basic materials and scrambling for business with system black stores... There are a variety of things, everything is available.
There is also a fast hotel that sneaks in some shameful business, such as providing private places for certain players and tourists who are close to each other, and carrying out some undescribable activities... Although players and tourists have genders, they do not have any functions. I wonder if you are curious about it.
With such a place, another twin industry is naturally indispensable.
There is no separation between pornographic and gambling. There is a big shack not far away. Two NPCs with flesh-faced faces are standing at the door. The noise inside is loud and the sound of shaking dice can be clearly heard outside. The team of players I just saw was dismounted in this gambling stall, humans, orcs, elves, dwarves... all kinds of equipment and various accents, coming and going, coming and going, just like a scene in a magic movie.
"We can't keep up with the situation anymore. We have wasted too much time and too much!" Hu Xinmin sighed.
Zhang Miao didn't respond, just said, "Let's go, take over the task."
The task system has changed a lot now. In the past, several specific NPCs released tasks, such as the main thread NPPPC can only release some small tasks, daily tasks, etc. Now there are no specific NPCs released tasks. You can only go to the main city of the system to collide with tasks. Otherwise, you can register mercenaries from the lowest level and trivial tasks.
Mission rewards are rare, and equipment, etc. are all prestige, such as the reputation of the town, the reputation of Bucks, Punks, the appearance of this NPPC, etc. Only when the reputation and favorability reach can you accept some so-called "hidden exclusive tasks".
The characteristic of this type of task is that it cannot be completed repeatedly. Many are unique. Players need to meet harsh conditions and spend a lot of time and experience to specialize in a certain item.
There is no such restriction on the mercenary mission with the largest number. The publishers include players and ordinary intelligent NPCs, among which Punk City has the most residents, but most of them publish trivial matters, such as losing a cat in a certain family, finding a player to help you run errands and send letters, and recruiting people with drinks, craftsmen, farming, and collecting... Even tasks like escorting caravans are considered gunmen because they can kill monsters and collect them on the way, without wasting time.
Of course, Zhang Miao and the others looked down on this kind of task, and they didn't have the time and energy to swipe the mercenary level. After asking for an acquaintance, they found out that some system shops in the safe zone would regularly release some replicate tasks for a certain game map.
This type of task is what they need, so they studied on the map for a long time, found a suitable safe area, and teleported it over.
In the B199 safety zone, you can see how big the game map appears on the number. This place has never been there before. It is already further east on the banks of Fishman Lake. Further ahead is the entrance map of the Fairy Forest and the dungeon.
"Uh... Recently, there have been more monsters going out to find food from the forest. Many of our collection teams have been attacked. In order to avoid more losses, we can only ask powerful players like you to help the camp construction. Please help me collect some rhizomes of mandala. The potion store is in urgent need..."
The safety zone is crowded with people, and there are all level-making teams everywhere, generally above level 20. It is worth mentioning that new players and new professions have also appeared here. The first one is riding an old player without a mount, and one of them is riding a griffin.
When this griffin knight fell from the sky, even Zhang Miao's heart was filled with sourness and swelling.
