"The front row is selling gold coins at a preferential price of 1:152! Some bosses are like MMMM!"
"The Leaping Nuclear Guild is accepting a large amount of gold coins at 1:153! Chat directly."
When Jiang Qiao and Xia Shan passed by the commercial street together, there were already two players standing there collecting gold coins.
1:152 As the name suggests, one gold coin can be exchanged for one hundred and fifty yuan in reality, which is already a very large amount.
There are too few players of Holy Spirit now, and the gold produced is also little. The most pitiful thing is... no players respond to them.
Not only do they shout to inform the players passing by, but there are also chat window bubbles floating above their heads that constantly refresh this function.
But the players on the commercial street were all in groups of three or four. Occasionally, one or two of the first batch of players around level 25 could be seen passing by, as well as a small number of level 1 newcomers.
So no one paid any attention to them. Gold coins were in short supply right now, and the NPC shop sold not only potions, but also scrolls that could release one-time magic and some alchemical supplies.
These are very useful for players leveling up.
"The gold coins in this game are too expensive." Xia Shan calculated carefully. If the gold coins were really collected at a ratio of 1:152, she might not be able to buy 100 gold coins with two months' salary.
"Then go level up, there's no need to be so anxious." Jiang Qiao said.
"I'd better go do the novice mission first. Thank you for your help and guidance. Can you add me as a friend?"
Xia Shan has also played MMORPG, and she knows that it would definitely be helpful to have someone to cling to at a time like this.
"Can."
Jiang Qiao added Xia Shan as her friend, and she ran all the way to the position of novice instructor.
"Are you satisfied?" Hai Lan, in ghost form, suddenly said to Jiang Qiao, "She doesn't seem to have any hostility."
"It may be that No. 13 made a mistake. She doesn't seem to be a relevant person, but it is still necessary to keep an eye on her."
The reason why Jiang Qiao contacted Xia Shan was because Xia Shan might be related to the people in the game review department.
Jiang Qiao is not afraid of the official organization. No. 13 is now on Jiang Qiao's side. The reason why Jiang Qiao came to stare at her... is because he doesn't want them to cause trouble for Jiang Qiao in the game.
Xia Shan did cause Jiang Qiao a little trouble, but she caused it as a player, not as a member of the review department.
Jiang Qiao is extremely happy when players cause trouble. After all... Jiang Qiao himself is also a player who likes to cause trouble.
When Jiang Qiao was preparing to level up alone, another player came out on the street and caught Jiang Qiao's attention. This time he didn't collect gold coins.
"Receive Holy Spirit activation codes! 30,000 each! Private message if you have any!"
"Receive Holy Spirit activation codes! 30,000 each! Private message if you have any!"
With this shout and the appearance of the dialog box, all the players on the commercial street looked sideways, including the two guys who collected the gold coins.
The price of 1:152 is not very eye-catching, but 1:30000 is eye-catching enough.
For players on the commercial street, the price of 30,000 yuan may be equivalent to several months or half a year's salary, or even a whole year's food expenses.
But the Holy Spirit activation code? This thing... doesn't exist.
"Hey, hey, hey, thirty thousand yuan, should we sell one?" Hai Lan suddenly had an idea at this time.
She learns very quickly, especially when it comes to buying food. Jiang Qiao even limits Hai Lan's pocket money and allows her to order two takeout meals a day, with each meal not to cost more than RMB 100.
This also led to Hai Lan attaching great importance to money in the real world. Thirty thousand yuan is equivalent to three hundred takeout meals!
"No, there's no need to sell it." When Jiang Qiao was playing games in the past, the thing he hated the most was the sky-high price of activation codes. Every time a game he wanted to play was in internal testing or closed testing, and he saw an activation code for 88,000, he wanted to strangle the scalpers and planners.
"Thirty thousand yuan!" At this time, Hai Lan had completely lost the dignity of a creator.
"What's wrong with thirty thousand? I'm not short of money."
Jiang Qiao has the capital to say this. Although Jiang Qiao is a senior this year, the income from online articles is enough to rival that of most company executives. Twenty or thirty thousand a month is no problem.
But Jiang Qiao has not yet thought about making a lot of money by relying on the Holy Spirit.
Because Jiang Qiao knew that what he wanted to buy was something he could afford now, it was nothing more than a top-of-the-line computer and a top-of-the-line VR device. Jiang Qiao didn't have any other big needs.
The time when money is really needed may be when the Holy Spirit starts to appear in professional competitions.
"I…"
"You don't need it either." Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan were in tune with each other and knew what Hai Lan wanted to say. "I'll buy you whatever you want to eat. There's no need to use the method of speculating activation codes to cheapen your game."
"That's what you said. I want to eat the takeaway called Garlic Lobster tonight." Hai Lan compromised.
Jiang Qiao nodded slightly and agreed to Hai Lan's proposal. The player who was receiving the activation code in the distance had been shouting for nearly ten minutes.
During this period, one or two players came up to ask how to sell it, but after a careful discussion, it was found that they didn't know where the activation code came from, so the deal completely fell through.
Jiang Qiao couldn't bear to listen any longer and chose to walk up and communicate with the player named Mo Dao Swordsman.
"brother."
"Hey! Friend! Do you have an activation code?"
Before Jiang Qiao finished speaking, the Mo Dao swordsman came forward excitedly. As his name suggests, he was a warrior, and he had already reached level 25 and changed his job to a swordsman with agility bonus as the main feature.
"Why do you look at me?" Jiang Qiao asked.
"You are at a high level, so you must have some connections as an old player, right?" he said.
"This reason... is impeccable, but this game has only been launched for twelve days." Jiang Qiao was speechless.
"Friend! If you have it, sell it to me. Tell me your Tiangong Payment account number and I will transfer it to you in seconds." He looked like he was sure that Jiang Qiao had the activation code, otherwise Jiang Qiao would not have come over to answer him.
"Why do you need the activation code so urgently?" Jiang Qiao asked.
"My brother is a live broadcaster. The game Holy Spirit will definitely be popular in the future, so I want to play it live, but I don't have the activation qualification." The Mo Dao swordsman said and sent a small yellow face emoji with sweat on his forehead.
"Why not let him live broadcast your gameplay?" Jiang Qiao thought of another solution.
“I’m a streamer myself. Yesterday, this game could only be logged in with a mobile phone, which was very weird. Today, it can be played with VR equipment, so I broadcast it live to show them, but they still didn’t believe it.” Mo Dao Jianke said helplessly.
"I see. What platform is it? What's your room number?"
Jiang Qiao thought for a moment. The reason why Jiang Qiao was not in a hurry to promote Holy Spirit was that a good game did not need to be promoted. Now that the live broadcast industry was so developed, a host could attract many players to flock to a new game.
Not to mention the existence of professional players, who are simply traffic beasts. Jiang Qiao believes that if Zhao Mingwei starts a live broadcast of playing Holy Spirit, it is estimated that half of the world's players will pull Jiang Qiao aside and ask, "Are you there? Are you selling the activation code for 30,000 yuan each?"
But Jiang Qiao would definitely not sell it. If he sold one, there would be a second one. He would make money from the sky-high activation code, but it would ruin the reputation of the game. Besides... Jiang Qiao didn't have any extra activation codes to sell, as the only 100 player qualifications had already been issued.
