"Rogue cultivator?" Li Ping'an couldn't help but curiously looked at the ID logos on the heads of these two people, "Shadow!" The calligraphy word "Shadow" made people think. Li Ping'an still wanted to stay in the dark and eavesdrop on something, but unexpectedly, the mage named Mina suddenly whispered: "The organization is recalled, let's go!" The face of the guy named Xunhuan changed, and he nodded and followed away at a very fast speed. He disappeared from the training ground on the platform within a few seconds.
After a long time, Li Ping'an slowly emerged from the darkness and came out. He guessed that Sir Thunder on the outside of the platform was blessed by the high-level gunsmith named Mina. Is he a casual cultivator ranger? film? They are said to be casual cultivators, but they practice in teams and have their own organizations. Such high-level players are extremely low-key. Various questions cast a mysterious veil on their identities. Li Ping'an couldn't help but smile. This Nage There are many players in the world, whether they are awakened ones or conservative natives, there are so many strong players, and it is not surprising that there are several mysterious and low-key organizations and strong players.
But this also reminds me that there are not only three main cities in this alien world, and the awakening of ten people may not necessarily be the top combat power of this alien world. There may be even more powerful characters hidden in it. In the dark, they grow and work silently for their respective goals.
Li Ping'an glanced at this popular training platform and did not go in. He would not choose a training ground that was prone to disputes. It was too eye-catching.
Li Ping'an followed the descending stairs of the platform from the west of the map to the depths of the second area of the Forgotten City. Along the way, Li Ping'an also encountered many players, most of whom practiced together in teams, on the one hand for safety, and on the other hand Then he saw a special business opportunity.
"I'm going to buy medicine, you guys keep the place first!"
"Hey, the cultivation experience in the Forgotten Second District increases very quickly, but the consumption of medicines is also too high!"
"The little money the NPC revealed is not enough to spend like this!"
"..."
Li Ping'an has heard conversations like this the most. The core problem is the same as when he played the online game Nage World in the past. The number of cultivation medicines (that is, red and blue medicines) that players can carry with them is very limited. Not only must a part of the space be allocated for storage, The new equipment you obtain must also be taken into account in stocking up on medicines.
When an ordinary portable storage bag is fully loaded, the player can practice for about 1 day. Of course, this depends on the player's own maximum energy value and maximum blood volume value. If the limit values of the two are lower than the red and blue medicine supply value, The replenishment energy value and blood volume will overflow, resulting in a waste of medicine. Therefore, it is particularly important to purchase red and blue medicines that are suitable for the current level and your own attributes.
Secondly, it is very difficult to take care of occupying the site, replenishing medicines, and collecting equipment exploded by NPCs. Most of the following annoying situations will occur: The first one is that there are too many medicines in the storage bag, causing the NPC to be unable to store the equipment in the storage bag in time when it explodes, causing the equipment to be destroyed by the system after a certain time limit. Recycling, or being snatched and picked up by passing players, triggering a series of vendettas.
The second situation is that the storage bag space is reasonably allocated, leaving enough space for medicines and picked-up equipment. However, it seems to be a balanced approach, but the medicines available for practice are insufficient, which greatly shortens the practice time. When the medicines are consumed, In the end, you have to go to nearby black merchants to buy medicines. Not only is a lot of time wasted going there, but the training ground is also likely to be occupied by new players, which will lead to conflicts and vendettas.
In the past, it was a common rule in games that public broadcasts of the map must be made, announcing that one was going to buy supplementary medicines, announcing the specific coordinates of the training site, and demonstrating short-term ownership, thereby avoiding encroachment by new players. However, even so, such rules are difficult to prevent villains. When encountering those who do not follow the rules, there will also be incidents of grabbing space, grabbing monsters, and killing monsters. Not to mention that this is a game in another world. It is too difficult to set up such rules. Disaster.
Therefore, we have to form a team to practice. If there are more than two people, at least one person must occupy the space and one person must buy medicine and supplies. But a new question comes again. If a person stays alone in the training ground, will his defense be enough? Do you have enough combat power when encountering players who deliberately come to seize the venue? It's really hard to say.
The third situation is the price of illegal drugs. These illegal drug sales points, which are controlled and monopolized by large clubs, are an important source of funds for the clubs to operate and are also their blood transfusion. Therefore, the price of the medicines sold is often 5 to 6 times the market price. Many players are hindered by the expensive medicines and their cultivation can only be very slow.
Red and blue medicines mainly replenish blood volume and energy. No matter how high the combat level is or how good the equipment is, the use of medicines cannot be avoided. This timely replenishment of medicines greatly improves the efficiency of practice and saves lives. Therefore, if you want to replenish medicines as quickly as possible, you can only bite the bullet and buy them from nearby black merchants. Compared with time, it is the most expensive thing.
These three situations can be said to be the pain points of all cultivators, and many powerful people in high positions also have headaches. Players of Zhang Xiaotian's level simply bring a small follower or a few small followers to let them Responsible for helping to supply medicines, the condition is to promise them some equipment as a reward, or to upgrade them.
After all, these players are in the minority. Merchant organizations like Zhangjin Pavilion have only slightly solved the pain point of expensive medicines. However, they usually sell affordable medicines in the main city instead of wandering aimlessly in the wild areas. Touting.
Li Ping'an also had a sudden thought, "What if there could be a professional team to deliver medicines?" This is somewhat similar to a huge industry on earth: the express delivery industry!
Is it possible that Nage, a different game world, can also develop such an industry? To survive in this world of survival of the fittest, making money is an essential survival skill. There is a threshold for killing monsters and upgrading while making money at the same time. The equipment of many players does not allow them to safely face NPCs that exceed their combat capabilities. This In this case, you can only start with NPCs who are much lower than yourself, change quantity and quality, and make a little bit of money from these low-level NPCs. However, the time cost is frighteningly high.
In addition, the small amount of money that was finally saved will be harvested like leeks by the illegal businessmen of large clubs. This situation has been in an endless loop with no solution.
If there is an emerging industry, "an industry that specializes in running errands and delivering medicines to players", it will successfully solve the "last mile" problem and at the same time give these ordinary players who are struggling to survive an easier way to make money. Bypassing the scythe of the black businessmen of big clubs, I have to say that this is a good idea that kills two birds with one stone or even kills multiple birds with one stone.
