Before dawn, Xie Xiaomeng and Aunt Xue went out with a full set of things. A relative who came from his hometown acted as the driver, driving the off-road vehicle that Xie Xiaomeng had just sold the day before, and loaded all the large and small bags into the car.
.
The neighborhood was still dark, with no one around. Under the beams of street lights, there were only moths, insects and mosquitoes that had been busy all night, and they couldn't be driven away.
I expected to queue up at the registration office for a long time, but I didn't expect that as soon as I drove near the registration office, vehicles and tents were blocked all the way.
Xie Xiaomeng and Aunt Xue had to get out of the car. They moved all the things in the trunk under the steps in front of a clothing store, set up a tent, made a simple camp bed, a portable stove, etc., and set up a pair of
I've been wasting my time here forever.
But after a while, there were more than a dozen tents behind them. The queue in front was unknown how long. Some people may have been guarding all night, and they didn't know how to deal with the urban management.
As soon as I said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.
Vehicles from the DMV were blocked at the entrance of the alley and could not enter. Law enforcement officers were on foot using loudspeakers to shout that illegal occupation of the road was not allowed and everyone was asked to evacuate immediately.
But no one listened to them, so a couple set up the stove and cooked breakfast in front of them.
Xie Xiaomeng looked at the time and looked at the sky, "Mom, just stay here and wait for me to go offline. Don't leave if anyone comes."
"Yeah!" Aunt Xue was obedient and nodded continuously.
"Then I'm going to school first... Uncle, help my mother look at the place and don't let anyone jump in line."
The eldest uncle nodded and smiled with an honest look on his face.
Xie Xiaomeng just left. It took him more than half an hour to get to the school. He found that the campus was already brightly lit. The corridors and playground were full of messes left after last night's celebration. More than a dozen cleaners were cleaning the classrooms.
The dormitory was empty except for Lao Wei, who was sitting on the podium, engrossed in writing something.
"Xiao Meng"
"Teacher Wei."
"Get ready to study early!"
Xie Xiaomeng looked at the messy classroom with tables, chairs and benches, and the blackboard with various winning slogans graffitied on it. Her mouth opened, but she had nothing to say.
He lifted up the desk, chair and bench that he had fallen on the ground, took out the textbook from the drawer, and spread it out in front of him, but his mind was blank.
The clock on the wall ticked forward, and another half hour passed. It was already dark outside, and there were three or four students sitting in the classroom. They all looked restless, and they seemed to have needles under their buttocks. They couldn't sit down.
Can't live.
Teacher Wei is still teaching.
The bell rang for the start of morning self-study, and the classroom door was pushed open from the outside. A boy with a crew cut rushed in without noticing Old Wei on the podium, and said eagerly, "Oh, what time has it been? Do you still have the heart to attend class?"
, as he spoke, he rushed to his seat, pulled out a backpack, and rushed out in a hurry.
Xie Xiaomeng looked at the podium. Old Wei was still teaching and there was no reaction at all.
She suddenly felt a little unbearable. She looked around and saw a girl quietly stood up and slipped out of the classroom through the back door.
Teacher Wei sighed at this time, adjusted his reading glasses, stood up and said: "The school has decided to have a three-day holiday. You..."
Before they finished speaking, several "honest" students cheered, stuffed their books into their desks, and rushed out of the classroom impatiently.
Teacher Wei was stunned, waved to Xie Xiaomeng, who was the only one still in the classroom, and sat down to teach her again.
At this time, the campus had become empty, and most of the teachers were missing. She returned to the computer room assigned to her in the school, and lay down in the game room with a complicated mood.
I am not affected by the offline atmosphere at all online.
Now the game behavior is "silent". Bigger tasks and bigger activities are not started, and "delays" and "stuck" often occur. Players are mostly crowded in the game area, digesting 5 tests, especially
Dividends obtained on the abyss battlefield, diligently repair internal affairs.
Therefore, the security area is extremely lively, with endless stalls as far as the eye can see. In the auction, various equipment and props are lined up for hundreds of pages. Many rare and rare good things are listed on it. However, the price is touching, which makes even the richest people.
Players can only hope for it.
It is worth mentioning that the current exchange rate and prices are showing a downward trend. Many people are frightened by the "tens of millions of people" online at the same time. It is predicted that after the 6 beta test is launched, the supply of copper coins will definitely explode. The current
The exchange rate (black market) is too exaggerated. Everyone knows that it is abnormal and will definitely fall. The opening of the 6th test is a critical point.
Of course, some people hold the opposite opinion, believing that the exchange rate will not only not fall, but will rise sharply due to new demand. You will know this if you look back at the beginning of each test.
Whether there is no way to rise or whether it will definitely plummet is a matter of opinion. It all depends on personal judgment. Xie Xiaomeng does not want to follow the trend of speculation or anything like that, so treat it with a normal mind.
Use this time to get rid of the things you don’t need quickly. Buy the things you need at the right price. This is basically what you do when you go online.
Looking at the stalls one by one, it is more lively and crowded than an offline temple fair. You must know that this is one of the thousands of safe zones in the game, and it is not even the main city of the seven major systems.
Ten minutes later, she fell in love with a top-quality blue wristband with dual resistance, and was negotiating the price privately with the stall owner. Someone chatted with her privately, asking her if her Undead Flame Skeleton Horse was still for sale?
This kind of news has been received frequently since the last time I helped a friend. Xie Xiaomeng doesn't care. Her current combat power cannot be promoted to Lingjue. It's not that it's not enough, but that she can't form a good team.
Combat strength is a hard indicator. Which team should be formed at which level? It’s just like class composition. If a low-combat team is formed into a high-combat team, that’s to ask for guidance. If a high-combat team is to join a low-combat team, that’s to show off. Forming a normal team is very difficult.
It's rare that such good things are waiting for her.
Therefore, you must do everything you can to improve your combat effectiveness. If you say you have good operational awareness, others will not know it.
It is true that combat power does not fully reflect a player's strength. It is common for a player to be counter-killed if there is a difference of one or two hundred combat power, but it is rare if the gap is too large, such as more than 500.
If you don't have enough operations, you need to use combat power to make up for it.
Nowadays, players are becoming more and more convinced of this, which has led to a large number of "handicap gangsters" sneaking into the "revolutionary team", which has been criticized by some hard-core players.
Xie Xiaomeng is just a civilian player. The Undead Flame Skeleton Horse is her biggest gain since playing the game. It is only reasonable to forget about equipping her own equipment and sell it in exchange for the resources that will help her the most.
Therefore, she was planning to sell this horse tag, but no one had come up with the conditions that made her interested.
The price of the top-quality blue wristband could not be reduced no matter what. The stall owner was annoyed by her and refused to accept any messages from her.
Xie Xiaomeng left the stall angrily and quickly got into the next round of bargaining, completely forgetting the unpleasantness just now.
Naturally, there were private messages about buying the Undead Flame Skeleton Horse.
Until it was time to go offline, I didn't spend a penny, and my tongue was sharpened a lot.
Don't worry about Aunt Xue. She has set a time in the game. When she logs off, she makes a habit of cleaning up the chat interface and turning to the one where she buys the Undead Flame Skeleton Horse.
"... 6 test qualifications are exchanged for your skeleton horse. I am definitely not a liar. If you are interested, +V chat, the number is..."
6 test qualifications?
Xie Xiaomeng dubiously wrote down the V-signal number. After logging off, he left the empty school and went straight to the registration group draw.
It feels like the whole city has come to a standstill.
The shops along the street were empty, and most of them were closed. There were not many cars on the road, only buses with not many people riding in and out of the station. The weather was extremely cold, and the northwest wind blew on the face like a knife.
However, the dozen or so streets where the lottery was held did not feel the cold at all. The roads were all occupied by various vehicles and tents. They were all men, women and children, and the whole family was filled with pots, pans, and pots.
A posture of fighting a protracted war.
People can pass, but vehicles cannot. Xie Xiaomeng struggled to squeeze forward in such a crowded, lively and noisy environment, jumping among other people's pots and pans, and being careful while chasing and fighting like naughty children during the New Year.
I chose an opportunity to settle down, and accidentally stepped on a sleeping man...
The loudspeakers of helicopters hovered at low altitude, trying in vain to persuade citizens to go home. They also said that online registration channels were open, and organized tens of thousands of volunteers to register door-to-door... But it was useless.
I don’t know who spread the rumor, saying that the on-site registration group has a high winning rate, and cited so and so... a large number of examples to prove, in line with the principle of preferring to believe what is true and not what is not (she herself registered on site
Those who won the lottery in the group did not stop the 'superstitious' Aunt Xue from following the trend.
What if?
This is the 6th test qualification.
It is rumored that if tens of millions of people are online at the same time, then the chances of winning the lottery will be greater. In the past, you could choose one in ten thousand, but now you can choose one in a thousand or one in hundreds. Once you win the lottery, everything will be different. It is better than winning the lottery jackpot. Let me ask, what if the two-color ball
The chance of winning the jackpot is similar to that of 3D group selection. How crazy must the people who buy it be?
When it comes to winning the lottery, no one takes it lightly. Even those who have never cared about Canaan cannot ignore its huge wealth-making effect.
There was even more traffic in front, as if two families were fighting over jumping in line to get a seat. The scene was chaotic, with messes and misunderstandings all over the floor. It would definitely not work like this.
Xie Xiaomeng did not expect that the scene would be so crazy. From an 80-year-old man and woman in a wheelchair to a kindergarten child who could not walk steadily, many more people came after hearing the news.
Paralyzed by it, if something unexpected happens, the consequences will be disastrous.
An aunt who ran a snack bar poured a basin of water on a family occupying the entrance to her house. The security guard of the hotel not far away forcibly drove the people out. Two or three civil servants from the street office were being besieged by a group of excited uncles and aunts.
A police car was abandoned on the side of the road, and the surrounding areas had been occupied by an army of tents. A seven- or eight-year-old boy stood on the green belt crying for his mother. A helicopter carrying emergency rescue and disaster relief just passed over his head, and the tweeter sounded again.
Bomb this street again...
What's going on!?
It's just a rumor that doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
After finally squeezing to where Aunt Xue was, she saw no one. The chaos in her eyes made Xie Xiaomeng regret it. She called her cell phone and found out that she had to go to the front of the queue. By the time she found the person, it was already almost 12 noon.
At this time, there were already tents and oceans, and the smell of instant noodles was everywhere. Aunt Xue and her relatives and uncle took in a little girl who was separated from her family. She was sitting on a spare tire that was abandoned by someone, and ate it with big mouthfuls.
instant noodles.
"Mom, how's the situation?"
"It's coming soon. At this rate, it will be our turn tomorrow."
Xie Xiaomeng looked at the registration office a few hundred meters away in silence. It was even more crowded there and there was no place to stay.
We have all queued up to this point, and if we give up, all our efforts will be wasted. Xie Xiaomeng hesitated again, and suddenly remembered the message in the game, and added that person's V letter.
This person got in touch quickly, but Xie Xiaomeng seriously suspected that he was not the same person in the game. It felt a bit like chatting with Taobao customer service. How should I put it... It was a special routine, and some words were obviously carefully prepared.
Yes, I already had a lot of doubts about her.
"You said you are a 'chartered purchaser' entrusted by the Nubian Embassy? Do you have any proof?"
"Yes, please wait a moment."
Then the other party sent her a large number of 'concession' documents in Chinese and English, with the seal of the Nubian Embassy in China on them, and then also sent her a video of the signing and authorization within the embassy...
Quite similar to that!
Xie Xiaomeng was worried about a new type of fraud, so she took a screenshot of the chat and consulted a friend she met in the game.
"This is true."
"ah?"
"Many embassies are doing this now, especially in some small countries, poor countries, and unstable areas... using the game quotas that will be allocated to recruit senior players to immigrate, or in exchange for strong and scarce materials in the game.
Props, and then exchange them for things they need, such as mortgages, geopolitical interests, etc. It’s very complicated.”
"Then the country doesn't care?"
"I can't control it. The legs are on a person's body, so they can't be tied up, right?" my friend said jokingly.
"That……"
"I think that a 6-test qualification is not as valuable as imagined, and it is not worth exchanging it for a flaming skull horse... Think about it, you have to immigrate in exchange for the qualification, and many things will be difficult to deal with after changing nationality.
, especially for players, it’s okay now, but what if, if there is repatriation or something in the future, wouldn’t you be blinded?”
"Is it possible? Push the player out?"
"No matter how valuable something is, it will no longer be rare once there are more of it. Don't look at the popularity of the 6-test qualification. Wait until it reaches tens of millions of people online."
"I heard that supervision will be very strict in the future?"
"Strictness is absolute. There will be no preferential treatment in the future."
"There is no preferential treatment now, the tax rate is so high."
"The tax rate is high? Have you never thought about how easy it is for players to make money? A random player can go out and kill a few monsters and get money that in reality, others cannot make in a week or even a month? Do you think it is fair?"
"
Xie Xiaomeng:……
"You yourself have made a lot of money, right? From the perspective of fairness in social wealth distribution, do you think your gains are directly proportional to your efforts?"
"When it reaches tens of millions of levels online, Canaan is no longer a game. We can no longer use the previous model and thinking inertia. It will become a systematic knowledge and an overall social issue that needs to be comprehensively considered..."
Xie Xiaomeng didn't have the heart to read her friend's long speech.
Since this was true, she told Aunt Xue.
After hearing this, Aunt Xue said without hesitation, "If you don't change, you won't know what you will do in the future. It's best if you win the lottery this time. If you don't win, you will still have a chance in the future. Even if you don't win, you can still be a tourist. That one of yours
The things are different, sell them quickly while they are valuable now, don’t lose them in your hands.”
Aunt Xue and her friends said this, which made Xie Xiaomeng realize that qualifying for the 6th test might not be as valuable as she thought.
This means that the player's identity will be devalued.
