"After all, an individual's power is limited. Everyone grows up in a different environment and is good at different things. Some people like to use their fists to solve problems, while others are good at using their heads. The meaning of forming a team is to use the strengths of others to make up for your own shortcomings. ." The professor wiped his glasses with the handkerchief in his pocket, "After all, we are not supermen. Didn't you also explain it in your panel evaluation? That is the number of dungeon rounds that you can probably pass alone, but the actual situation is often more complicated. There are so many, it will be troublesome if you encounter a dungeon that you are not good at at all."
But then the professor paused, "Of course, there are also benefits to being a single player. The income from each copy is certain. When forming a team, you need to share the income. If you are alone, all the income is yours, but usually only in the later stages. Only some people will choose to do it alone, and the risk is still very high. If you do it alone...after all, the error tolerance rate is too low."
Zhang Heng was silent. He entered the game after being directly invited by the weirdo in Tang suit. Now it seems that his path is different from other players. He did not receive the so-called invitation letter, and he did not meet any newcomers at the same time in the game store. No wonder he played I have been playing solo until now.
However, it can’t be said that the Tang suit weirdo was deliberately trying to trick him. The extra 24 hours he had on him determined that he could only take the path of single-player, because the extra time also increased the risk of most single-player copies. Not that high.
"It's a pity that my team has been full recently." The professor said, "Otherwise, I can give you a chance to take an assessment, but you'd better find a team in the same city to facilitate private communication. This is a long game. , not only physically but also mentally, but this secret cannot be shared even with the closest people around us, so we need teammates to share the pressure."
Zhang Heng knew that what the professor said was right, but unfortunately he was destined to have to bear the secrets alone. However, after two years on the desert island, his resistance to loneliness was much stronger than ordinary people. For the time being, No worries about this.
Zhang Heng changed the subject. Seeing that the other party seemed happy to communicate, he continued to ask, "I heard someone mention the guild before on the deck. What exactly is it?"
The professor put his polished glasses back on, "Guilds and chambers of commerce are both private organizations voluntarily established by players, but their functions are different. Although you are a newcomer, you should have heard that our situation in the real world is actually not safe. , so some players banded together to form guilds to protect themselves and agree on the rights and obligations of members. In addition, some guilds will also take the initiative to deal with nearby supernatural phenomena."
"Sounds good, but why are you so repulsive to the guild?" The professor had previously spoken sarcastically about the guild players on the stage, and Zhang Heng could hear the slight hostility contained in his words.
"Guilds may have good intentions at the beginning, but as they develop, they have changed a lot. In the past, everyone gathered together to protect themselves, but after mastering such a large force, many people are no longer satisfied with it. The previous goal of the organization, which was to maintain peace, has now become a source of instability." The professor shook his head, "But this kind of thing is a matter of opinion. My identity is well hidden in reality, and the team I formed is basically the same. It’s formed, and I have no interest in joining the guild for the time being.”
The two chatted for a while and the professor went to the first floor to play cards. Zhang Heng stayed on the third floor and listened to the speeches of various guilds for a while. After an hour and a half, everyone put down what they were doing and concentrated on the cruise ship. In the auditorium.
Zhang Heng made a rough estimate, and there were about four to five thousand people. There were more than 500 game props auctioned tonight, but only the most precious 12 props were auctioned using placards, and the remaining 400 or so were auctioned online. Anyone can bid freely, and the system will determine the final bidder before the auction ends.
Zhang Heng met Ding Si here again. The latter had just negotiated a business deal and seemed to be in a good mood. He took the initiative to say hello and said cheerfully, "I just got some gossip. There is probably a B item tonight." Class-quality game props appear, and there are also several C-class props with outstanding characteristics.”
"Are B-level quality game props hard to come by?"
"Of course, the current stock of B-level props in the player circle does not exceed 200, and most of the owners are reluctant to sell them. If I am not wrong, this is probably the most popular item in the player circle in the past few months. That B-level prop that caused an uproar." At this point, Ding Si's eyes also lit up. As a businessman, he did not hide his appreciation for outstanding products.
"——[Death Dream], a cursed prop. If you are a newcomer, you may not know this. Some time ago, this was a name that made people blush. It is a terrifying prop that can make people die silently in dreams. The triggering conditions are unknown. , the removal conditions are unknown, and several powerful masters in the circle have fallen victim to the trick. Even the president of Silver Wings, who is the holder of an A-level item, has not been able to survive it. In the end, several major guilds joined forces to solve it. I killed that guy, this thing was probably put up for sale at auction because it couldn’t be assigned its ownership.”
Ding Si paused, "But don't think about others. Those big guilds won't let this thing fall into the hands of people who don't know the details anymore. The final winner will definitely be one of them, and the rest will With point compensation, no one can match them in terms of financial resources.”
The two of them were still chatting, but the auction finally started on the other side.
The person in charge of hosting is an old man about sixty years old, with a serious expression and wrinkles on his face like bark. He does not hide his appearance. He should be a staff member of the organizing committee like the bartender lady, etc. Everyone was seated, and he spent five minutes giving a brief welcome speech, and then vigorously introduced the first auction item tonight.
"——[Escape Dagger], quality C, small range teleportation, 3 remaining uses, detailed information will be known after the auction, the starting price is 3600 game points, a single price increase is 100 points, the transaction is completed after three hammer drops, enter below Bidding session.”
"Tsk, tsk, what a good thing!" Ding Si praised from the side before the auctioneer finished speaking.
"Are you planning to take action?"
"Things are good things, but the prices of life-saving game props like this are very high in previous auctions. I am here to dig for gold for Fulou, not for my own use. I am the prop that is undervalued." Tonight’s goal.” Ding Si smiled, but he had already picked up the tablet in front of his seat.
