This is indeed common sense.
But let alone the Eight Men, even the people from Ronghua would reflexively feel, after discovering Jie Fangcheng's fighting power, that the biggest threat in this copy was not the BOSS, but what if Jie Fangcheng failed to control his strength and directly smashed the boat
As for the danger of the dungeon? Where is the danger? It's more like scaring the NPC to death.
But when Zhang Daoan said this, many people immediately came to their senses.
Jie Fangcheng is strong, but his strength doesn’t mean he will protect himself like a nanny!
Just like before, Jie Fangcheng was about to leave the group to find trouble with Ning Suisui. The rest of them, like Qi Chanyang, who had never been to the fifth-level dungeon before, could no longer keep up with Jie Fangcheng.
In fact, Jie Fangcheng has now taken on the most important task of this dungeon. He wants to get points and pass the level. As for the rest of them, they can't even follow behind others and take advantage of the situation, right
Even if some people originally had the idea of "I've already entered Ronghua, how can he not take me with him?", but people are creatures that are influenced by the environment. At this time, watching one player after another approaching the table and carefully selecting the props that suit them, no one can justifiably say that they are holding back in this state of "everyone is working hard".
Soon, the eight people who had their own thoughts just now also joined the ranks of selecting props.
There are quite a few props on the table, far more than thirty, but there are not many powerful props among them.
Although Liu Fu and his companions' share of props worth 50 million points each seems to be a large amount of property, in fact, compared to one prop worth 50 million points, they prefer to use ten props worth 5 million points to offset it.
This is normal. Generally speaking, props that can be sold for more than 30 million are difficult to find easily in the market, and they can basically only be sold in small auction houses.
Just like this level 5 copy, there will usually be only one big item obtained, but there will be a dozen small items scattered around. Many old players who can make it to the leaderboard may only have a dozen items that can be sold for more than 30 million, but there will be hundreds of items that can be sold for three or four million.
Among the props handed in by Liu Fu and his team, the best one was the [Infinite Strength] that had been highly regarded by others before, with a market price of over 40 million.
At this moment, the one who had the power to split rocks also took it in his hands immediately.
"I'll just borrow this! One hundred thousand, right?"
Zhang Daoan nodded.
Soon, several other bonds with a market value of over 10 million were also borrowed, and some people even borrowed two at a time.
Wei Yuan organized people to start registering on the spot. The whole scene was bustling with activity. Everyone was holding glowing props in their hands, and it was as lively as a trading market.
The items that were not borrowed were basically those that had no practical use in the dungeon, such as the ring that changed the skin color.
Zhang Daoan walked over and took the ring.
Jie Fangcheng looked at him curiously, and then looked at him again, and couldn't help but retort: "Do you want to change your color too?"
Zhang Daoan didn't answer, but just looked at him: "Give this to me?"
"Okay."
Zhang Daoan smiled.
Nie Shuangshuang, who was waiting in line to register, had sharp ears. After hearing this, she came over and whispered, "Then can you give this to me?"
Jie Fangcheng had no objection: "Okay."
Nie Shuangshuang happily put the prop on her hands.
It was a red bracelet, and its only attribute was night vision. It was quite useless. Not to mention one million, the bracelet was not even worth the three hundred thousand yuan loan fee.
Nie Shuangshuang had been picking around the table for a long time but hadn't found what she wanted to borrow, so she took the bracelet just to show her support, mainly because of its pretty shape.
Also, because the bracelet was so cheap, she had no burden asking for it at this time.
Zhang Daoan glanced at her, then turned to look at Wei Yuan: "President."
Wei Yuan was also holding a borrowed prop to get familiar with the feel, and when he heard him speak, he immediately turned around: "Hey, what's wrong?"
Zhang Daoan said calmly, "Although the props should all belong to Manager Jie, no matter what, the others have also worked hard and made contributions. I think we should still encourage them. What do you think?"
"Yes!" Wei Yuan agreed deeply.
Zhang Daoan continued: "Then the first loan fee will be waived, right?"
"Ah." Wei Yuan looked at Jie Fangcheng hesitantly, "Is this appropriate?"
After all, the points for borrowing props should be given to Jie Fangcheng. Isn't it a bad idea for Zhang Daoan to make such a direct decision
Zhang Daoan smiled and said, "The union can afford this little money, right?"
Wei Yuan understood immediately.
Of course, it was like this in the past. For example, to celebrate someone's completion of a level 5 dungeon, the money for this celebration was paid by the union, and it was rare for individuals to bear such expenses.
When Zhang Daoan said this, Wei Yuan's first reaction was gratitude.
Where does the sense of collective belonging of union members come from? It comes from playing dungeons together and celebrating together time and time again. In modern times, it is a department party, and it is a party that no one has to pay for.
When Zhang Daoan reminded him of this, Wei Yuan immediately turned around and informed the members who were still registering. Immediately, there was a burst of praise for the "mighty president".
Three hundred thousand points is not a lot, but let’s not talk about the fact that there are also “new players” like Qi Chanyang in the dungeon who have never entered the fifth-level dungeon. Their points are very limited, and Qi Chanyang had to grit his teeth to borrow the props.
Even the eight veteran players who had never been downgraded joined in the fun. After all, they should have gained points for free. The eight of them looked very harmonious in Ronghua.
Wei Yuan has been the president for such a long time, and he is very good at managing the union and rallying people's hearts. At this time, someone asks, "Are the props working well?" and someone says, "I'll help you see how to maximize their power later," and everyone in the union is having a great time.
Just as Nie Shuangshuang was about to happily blend in, she heard Zhang Daoan sighing.
"President Wei is really working hard, running such a big business by himself. I don't know if he has enough points."
Nie Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment.
She was not stupid. Zhang Daoan always spoke in a roundabout way, and even the smartest people could not understand what he was saying. But she could obviously feel that he was not really just expressing her sympathy for Wei Yuan's hard work.
Nie Shuangshuang always felt that there was a pit ahead, but she couldn't help but said, "Brother, what do you want to say?"
Zhang Daoan looked at her calmly, "Nothing, just a compliment. For a player like President Wei who used to be at the top of the leaderboard, I don't know if his points are enough to pay for this free meal. If not, he has to ask Manager Jie to be lenient for a few days. Well, it feels pretty miserable."
Nie Shuangshuang: “…”
Now the only two players left in Ronghua who were "once at the top of the standings" were her and Wei Yuan. Nie Shuangshuang understood this time.
She frowned and said, "Brother, please don't worry about my points, okay? I don't have any points! All my points were spent by Brother Jie!!"
Zhang Daoan then withdrew his gaze: "Really?"
After the lively prop distribution was over, everyone sat down to have lunch.
Each table is a booth for four people. Nie Shuangshuang used to like to sit at the same table with Jie Fangcheng, but this time she didn't do that and went to find other friends.
This time, Wei Yuan actually sat over and chatted with Zhang Daoan very seriously while eating.
"This item rental gave me some ideas!" Wei Yuan was a little excited. "We can turn this rental into a long-term activity in the future, just like power banks or shared bicycles. Pay money to rent rare items and charge by time. Many players can't afford rare items, but hundreds of thousands of points can still afford it. This is a big income!"
Zhang Daoan shook his head and said, "Your analogy is very good. So those who run shared bicycles either run away or lose money. Guess why?"
Wei Yuan thought about it again and immediately understood: "If the person who rented the props died in the copy, then it would not work... What if they asked for collateral of points or props of equal value?"
"P2P? You are very suitable to be a capitalist."
"Ah? Is it not possible?" Wei Yuan pondered.
"Let me ask you the most fundamental question. Who are you going to let keep the points and items you collected for mortgage?"
Wei Yuan looked at Jie Fangcheng.
Xie Fangcheng was eating noodles. While he was concentrating on eating, he slammed the stick on the table.
Wei Yuan looked at Zhang Daoan and said, "You are right. P2P is not realistic. If the person who keeps these mortgage points or props is not strong enough and is robbed, then it will be a disaster."
Wei Yuan sighed regretfully: "There's nothing we can do about it."
"It's not that there is no other way." Zhang Daoan looked at him, "Ronghua does not exist for profit. We cannot rent it out, but we can have benefits internally."
"Ah?" Wei Yuan was stunned.
Zhang Daoan reminded him: "It's still okay to rent it to members of the guild who want to play the dungeon."
"But doesn't this still require collateral?" Wei Yuan frowned.
"unnecessary."
"This... This..." Wei Yuan was stunned, "What if a member of the union died in the dungeon?"
Zhang Daoan looked at him and said, "My friend, you don't even have weapons or armor to fight in a war. You have the potential to be a capitalist."
Wei Yuan stared at him blankly: "But... those are all Manager Jie's..."
Jie Fangcheng didn't care any more: "What do I need that pile of garbage for?"
"ah… "
Perhaps because he had gone through so many levels with Zhang Daoan, Jie Fangcheng could now understand this man's unspoken thoughts.
"It's useless for me to have garbage, but no one will cherish things given away for free, and it's easy to cause disagreements if you give it to someone and not to someone, which is not conducive to unity. Renting is different. If you pay a price, you can rent it if you want. The price is clearly marked and no one has any objections."
Wei Yuan had never seen this situation before, and no union had the concept of renting props. At this moment, he felt that Jie Fangcheng had suffered a great loss.
"But what if the player who rented the prop dies in the dungeon? Your prop will be wasted."
Jie Fangcheng glanced at him and said, "What are you talking about? Props are not important at all. Life and death are the most important things!"
Wei Yuan really didn't expect to hear these words from Jie Fangcheng.
Everyone was already dead, Wei Yuan had already accepted this. He didn't want to die easily because he still had a grudge to take, and... there was also Qiao Mai.
The two had originally agreed to continue living in the game until one day someone from either side died in the copy.
Now he knew that returning to the world was a lie, and that people from the underworld would arrive one after another. It was certain that the game would be dismantled. Wei Yuan once doubted whether his current persistence was useless. Why bother with these things when he was already doomed to die? However, there was still a spirit of not wanting to give up in his heart that supported him and made him unwilling to close his eyes and wait for death.
He never knew what Jie Fangcheng thought of these players. Did he think they were poor ants struggling to survive, or clowns who continued to jump around even though they knew it was useless
But at this moment, when Xie Fangcheng said "life and death are the most important things", Wei Yuan was stunned for a long time.
"…Aren't we all dead already?"
"Everyone will die. You will die when you are alive. It is not only the result of death that is important, the process is also important."
Jie Fangcheng's words were very reasonable and serious, but his current green costume was too eye-catching. Wei Yuan pondered for two seconds and couldn't help turning his face away. He began to change the subject and discuss the details.
"Then being able to rent rare items is one of Ronghua's benefits, but each item will definitely not be 100,000. In the future, the price will still depend on the quality of the item."
Jie Fangcheng and the others don't need to worry about setting the price. Old players like Wei Yuan naturally have their own mature economic system.
However, if there is such a benefit, Ronghua’s future development will be promising!
Wei Yuan's expression became somewhat high-spirited, and he wished he had completed the dungeon right now, and brought these... uh, possibly other players' items back to the guild, so that the glory that had been dormant for so long could be revived.
"Is this instance about to end?" Wei Yuan said in high spirits, "Even Ning Suisui can't do anything about it, so can we just lie down for three days and get through the instance directly?"
Zhang Daoan finished the food in his mouth and wiped his lips gracefully.
"not necessarily."
"Ah... Is there anyone else who will continue to challenge Brother Jie?"
Zhang Daoan looked at him and said, "If I were an NPC, since they are all marine creatures, if I am sure that I cannot kill Manager Jie, I will just destroy the boat."
"… "
Jie Fangcheng raised his head suddenly, with a horrified expression: "I can't swim."
Zhang Daoan said in a casual manner: "So let's go and kill the captain later."
"Where's the Captain?"
"I don't know. But... Ning Sui Sui knows."
