Naturally, all fees paid in the stronghold will not be the currency of the Tang Empire. Many players do not bring wallets into the game. Even if they bring wallets, they may not have enough cash. And it is impossible for the stronghold to get a credit card machine or swipe a mobile phone to swipe a face, etc. to pay directly. Of course, the network of the Datang Empire cannot be connected to the real network, so if you want to pay with soft sister coins, what else can you do besides paying cash? Woolen cloth?
Someone has raised this question. Of course, this problem can definitely be solved, otherwise how can people do business?
The girl at the front desk replied calmly as expected: "The game official has already considered this issue. In order to meet the needs of players for product exchange, we can use checks for payment."
The girl took out a stack of notes, which were about the same size as banknotes.
Just fill in the amount of money you need to pay, your name, ID number, bank name and fingerprint. Someone will take it to the real world to complete the transfer later. Although it has more content than a check, in terms of function and usage, it is indeed a check. Of course, there is a risk of the buyer writing a bad check, but this is not impossible in reality. If it happens, just do whatever you want.
Without thinking about it for long, Xu Qian and his party all applied for membership, including Xu Qian. If they don't stay here, newcomers like them don't know where they are going or what they are going to do. How can they play this game? If you are some old players, you may not necessarily need this membership.
In addition to signing a check, you also need to enter personal information when applying for membership. For example, the fat man swiped his face to get in because he had a membership status. This face-swiping technology was a common method of opening doors in the Tang Empire.
Entering information also has an important function, which is to confirm identity.
This stronghold was a key illegal force in the Tang Empire that threatened national security. For the Tang Empire, it was equivalent to a secret office of a spy agency. If a local from the Tang Empire sneaked in, , then this stronghold will not last long. Therefore, the stronghold will send people to bring these member information back to the real world every day. Only after the identity is confirmed, the membership level procedure is completed.
After completing the formalities, Xu Qian and others could finally enter the public activity area on the first floor.
Each of them was given a manual with some instructive information. For example, the first floor is a public activity area, and anyone who is a member can hang out on the first floor. The lowest accommodation rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors can be rented for 500 yuan for a month, but they are basically unavailable and are always full. There are star-rated rooms on the 4th floor and above, and there are high-end restaurants above, but ordinary people cannot go up there unless they pay.
On the left side of the first floor is a large hall. Except for the supporting pillars, this hall is full of people. These people were standing or sitting on the ground, resting with their eyes closed, or smoking and chatting. At a glance, there were estimated to be two to three hundred people.
"Let's take a rest here first. Don't worry about the accommodation. At least we won't be able to get one today." The fat man said this very naturally, as if it should be like this.
But for these new players who have just signed up for membership, this environment is really difficult to accept.
"Is it really impossible to get an accommodation room?" After registering as members, they all signed up to apply for an accommodation room. They just had to wait. These people still had hope.
The fat man said impatiently: "There are too many people and few rooms. If you want to get in line, it's almost time to go back. If you really want to get an accommodation, let's see if you can meet scalpers."
"cattle?"
"Well, some people enter the game just to make money. For example, a scalper uses his or her membership status to rank a number. If the scalper is finally ranked, the scalper can transfer the accommodation privately. However, when the scalper's game time expires, the accommodation will also be lost. Can’t keep it anymore.”
"Then those who live there will also be kicked out?"
"I'm not saying it's so unpleasant to evict you, but it's true that you can't live in the accommodation anymore. What you bought from scalpers in the first place was just the right to live for a certain period of time."
Everyone was speechless and knew that at least for now, they could only stay in this hall with these hundreds of people.
"There are washrooms, toilets, and restaurants over there. They are all open 24 hours a day. You can also rest in the restaurant. At least there are chairs to sit on. But the time is set according to the level of food you order. The more expensive you eat, the longer you can sit there. Long. There is also a rest area and conference room for female players over there. There are relatively few female players, and it is not suitable to stay together with a large group of big men, so female players who are not in line for accommodation stay there. The conference room is used after receiving tasks, and everyone has the opportunity to enter."
Xu Qian didn't care so much about others. Even if he stayed with these people in a place like an old train station waiting hall, it wouldn't be a big problem, but he was still very concerned about eating.
The fat man and the others found a slightly smaller space, put down their luggage, and sat on the ground. Although they didn't do anything, it was still equivalent to a long trip. It was quite tiring to be in an unfamiliar place. .
Xu Qian rummaged through his backpack. He had not opened it after carrying it all the way, and he didn't know what Chen Xiaolu had brought for him.
The fat man suddenly squatted over and said, "What's there to eat? Give me some too."
Xu Qian was not a petty person. If he hadn't really run out of money and consumed a lot of food, there was really no need for him to agree to participate in the game for the sake of house and tuition. But that was when he didn't know much about the game, and he didn't think so now.
Xu Qian handed the fat man a box of biscuits, opened a bag of potato chips, and started eating.
The fat man silently finished the whole box of biscuits, and then said softly to Xu Qian, "Are you a martial artist?"
Xu Qian didn't react much, as if he didn't hear the fat man's words.
"Actually, this is normal. Many martial arts cultivators will participate in this game." Fatty said to himself without receiving a response from Xu Qian and without any displeasure.
"Are you also a martial artist?" Xu Qian said lightly.
In fact, it is not difficult to judge whether a person is a martial arts practitioner. After all, they are martial arts practitioners, and their physical fitness is very different from ordinary people. For example, ordinary people cannot walk as steadily and powerfully as martial arts practitioners, and their breathing is not as smooth as martial arts practitioners. Ordinary people cannot feel these, but at the same time As a martial arts cultivator, it is not difficult to find if you pay careful attention. It's just that the depth of the other party's cultivation cannot be simply judged through these appearances.
In this world where there are far more martial cultivators than immortal cultivators, unless the other party is also an immortal cultivator, it is easy to be mistaken for a martial cultivator.
The fat man nodded and said, "Well, I'm just a warrior. What about you? Have you reached the warrior level?"
In Fatty's view, Xu Qian, a young man under twenty, unless he comes from a martial arts family, is at best a warrior, and more likely he has not officially entered the warrior level.
