Zhang Heng opened his eyes and found that he was standing on a luxury cruise ship. He was wearing a black tuxedo that fit him perfectly. There was a badge hanging on his chest with his player number and name printed on it. Sign up for game points.
Zhang Heng glanced at the starfish on his wrist. The current time meant that the auction would end at 23:00. He didn't have to worry about whether the time bug on his body would cause any more accidents.
Unlike the previous rounds of the game, there was no danger in the dungeon this time, so Zhang Heng's mentality was also very relaxed. He looked around and found that the situation was similar to the situation at the game point. He could see the players around him. But I can't remember what they looked like.
The game organizing committee has always done a good job in protecting privacy, but this seems to indicate that the relationship between players is not always so harmonious.
"First time attending an auction?" A voice came from Zhang Heng's ear. He turned his head and saw a short man behind him.
The latter handed over a business card, but Ding Si on it was obviously a fake name.
The short man shrugged, "I can't help it. The world is not peaceful recently, and there are always some crazy people who don't follow the rules, so everyone can only be careful."
"What's the meaning?"
"You should be a new player." The short man said, "There was a time when the atmosphere between players was quite good. Metropolises in the same city left each other's contact information. After all, everyone who could survive every round of the game was It’s not easy, and everyone is willing to help each other, but later some crazy guys used this information to hunt other players, which made people panic, so everyone now pays special attention to private information. As far as I know, the number of people in this auction at the end of the year is more than There was a lot less before.”
"Hunting?" Zhang Heng saw the title of the contact person of Fulou Chamber of Commerce in North China under the business card.
"Yes, there are always people who want to get something for nothing. I don't know which guy discovered it first. Killing other players can not only snatch the game props from the other player, but also inherit the other player's game points. After that, the situation becomes more and more serious day by day. "
"Does the organizing committee not care?"
"In principle, as long as the game information is not leaked to others, the organizing committee will not intervene in disputes between players, and it seems that they also have headaches..." The last half of Ding Si's words was a little unclear, He obviously didn't want to continue this topic and changed the topic, "You should be planning to buy some props to equip yourself when you come to the auction. If you don't have enough points on hand, you can consider us."
"What, does the Chamber of Commerce still sell points?"
"You are indeed a newcomer," Ding Si said, "Not just our Fulou, many chambers of commerce will provide similar services. You can buy points directly from us, but I don't recommend you do this because of the auction. The exchange rate is very high, and it costs 42,000 RMB to redeem 1 point, which in normal times only costs about 37,000, so a better way is to mortgage your props to us, and we will issue the loan immediately after appraising the value."
"Thank you, I will consider it if necessary." Zhang Heng put the business card away and said politely.
Ding Si was obviously well versed in how to make business. He was not in a hurry after hearing this and smiled, "It's almost an hour and a half before the auction officially starts. You can take a stroll nearby. There are many interesting things on this ship." There is a casino, cinema, and game room on the first floor. There are performances and self-service on the second floor for entertainment and relaxation. There are also exchange meetings of major guilds on the third floor. If you are interested, you can go and check it out."
Zhang Heng thanked him. This was his first time entering a circle of players. According to Ding Si, in order to avoid risks, the identities of most players in the real world are kept secret, so it is probably only possible to meet so many people in similar large-scale events organized by the organizing committee. Therefore, in addition to buying and selling game props, everyone will also take advantage of this party to do other things.
For example, the Fulou Chamber of Commerce to which Ding Si belongs is a chamber of commerce that specializes in serving players. The exchange and lending of game points are only part of the business they operate. In addition, they also undertake the consignment of props and the customization of special items, especially the price of the latter. It will be 20% to 30% cheaper than game points, and they will obviously use this auction to increase their publicity.
Of course, Zhang Heng was most interested in the exchange meeting on the third floor, but he was not in a hurry. After bidding farewell to Ding Si, he walked around the deck and received several business cards, all of which were for players. Commercial organizations have slightly different business scopes and prices vary, but one thing is that they are cheaper than game points. Of course, there are also certain risks in terms of safety. In comparison, Fulou is more reliable. , the latter has been established for a relatively long time and has a good reputation among players.
Zhang Heng put all the business cards he received into his pocket, and then took the elevator to the third floor, which was obviously the busiest place on the entire cruise ship.
When he pushed the door open and came in, there was a person on the stage explaining how to maximize game points. Zhang Heng found a seat in the back row and sat down and listened for a while. However, he didn't know if it was his imagination. He felt that every time When the point comes to the point, the other party will avoid the important point and go off the topic.
A middle-aged uncle next to Zhang Heng shook his head, "It's all useless nonsense. The method of obtaining game points is the core secret of every guild. No one will disclose it. To put it bluntly, we are just using this method to attract people. "He said, holding out his hand, "Professor."
Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"Don't get me wrong, it's just my code name. After all, it's too impolite to call me by my number. People who come here should either use a fake name or a code name."
"Simon." Zhang Heng stretched out his hand.
"Welcome to the game, Simon." The professor's handshake was concise and strong, "Why don't you see your teammates?"
"teammate?"
The expression on the professor's face was a little strange, "You must be a newcomer. Didn't the initial invitation to the game clearly state that each round of dungeons is highly unpredictable, and it is recommended that players form a team to play the game."
