"Lord Sherlock, the time has come."
"What? Adventurers from the surface are coming so soon? My treasure hall hasn't been built yet..."
Sherlock's fingers moved quickly and he performed crazy operations with the mouse.
"No, Lord Sherlock, I'm not talking about the game. It's time for the players to auction their equipment."
After the voice of "Bru" said, Sherlock looked surprised:
"What? The whole day has passed?"
Sherlock looked at the time and saw that it had indeed passed the day's trophy announcement period, and it was already close to twelve o'clock at noon, so it was time for the auction.
Sherlock didn't expect time to pass so quickly.
Players outside have begun to gather outside the core hall, waiting for the auction.
The auction will naturally not involve players shouting bids, but "Blue" as a system, collecting bids from a hundred players, and auctioning six trophies at the same time within ten minutes. The one with the highest bid will win. Players gathered outside the core hall, naturally hoping to see who could win the six trophies outside the core hall.
The properties of each piece of loot are far superior to the properties of today's equipment. They are also legendary properties and have unique shapes. It would be so cool if you could carry them out, and this equipment can be soul-bound! You can also install equipment insurance to avoid dropping it!
The most important thing is that these equipments are unique. There is only one kobold leader Kramo in the entire underground world, but there is no possibility of refreshing a second one.
You don’t need to think about it to know that this auction will definitely consume most of the currency earned by the first test players from completing tasks and exchanging materials in the past month. Thirty percent of the tax will be charged and then distributed to everyone according to their contribution. Players who participated in the OSS battle.
As for how to distribute this according to contribution, that is of course decided by Blue based on the actual situation. The players can go to the core to receive the copper coins themselves, and there is no need for Sherlock to take care of it.
With so many players gathered here, there was going to be crazy chatting, and the whole dungeon core hall was almost noisy outside.
Although the carpenter Mufasa in the distance has been here for two days, Mufasa is still a little unable to adapt to this dungeon that is full of madness and unbelievability, mainly because the goblins are more crazy and unbelievable.
"Cousin, why do they gather outside the core hall to chat when they don't work? Won't Lord Sherlock fire them?"
Mufasa is holding a spoon, and the blacksmith Simba next to him is putting soil into the soup pot. After the food is dehydrated, it will be sold to the players at a high price for food.
"Lord Sherlock will not fire them. Chatting in groups is just one of their hobbies. I told you before that no matter what these goblins do, don't be surprised. Just remember this. .”
Blacksmith Simba said this nonchalantly.
It will take some time for Mufasa to adapt to the dungeon of the Eternal Kingdom, but the auction actions of the players there have begun to reach a climax.
There is only one minute left, and the prices of the six pieces of equipment are all between two hundred and four hundred copper coins. The bidders are also some beta testers whose names Sherlock has never heard of. player.
It's not that players can't afford it, but that people who really want to buy these equipment will bid at the last minute.
When the time entered the countdown, the prices of the six pieces of equipment began to refresh at the same time. From the original price of several hundred copper coins, they began to skyrocket, and soon exceeded 10,000. In thirty seconds, the price of each piece of equipment The price has exceeded 50,000 copper coins, and it has continued to increase by thousands and thousands more.
In the last ten seconds, the price of each piece of equipment stabilized at close to 100,000 copper coins, and then in the last three seconds, it began to rise at a rapid rate.
During this process, the players kept shouting at high decibels throughout:
"Fuck! Oh my God!"
"What the hell is this? A piece of online gaming equipment has been sold for one million yuan?!"
"Did these rich people buy all the game coins in the server?"
"Why is it so expensive for a hundred people to test it out for the first time? How about after the public test?"
"I've made it. After the public beta, I have to go to the studio to get game currency. I'll have to work in a shitty class in the future!"
Then, amidst the chatter of the players, these six pieces of equipment were auctioned for around 100,000 yuan each.
The rich people who have obtained the equipment have already roughly decided from the beginning. Among the one hundred people, there are those who have the strength to compete. As early as when the spider lair was opened, there were five candidates, [Arthur] [Meikawa Kuzi] [Burning] Chest Hair] [Sylvanas] [Sakura Palace Cat Demon], these five people are the five most incompetent among the first test players. These five people were divided into five pieces of equipment, and the last sword and chest armor were also the same. [Arthur] got it, and Arthur spent a total of nearly 250,000 copper coins.
Players responded to the generosity of these rich people, and they all complained about what was blocking their eyes.
The five tycoons in the first test received their five pieces of equipment respectively under the envious eyes of the players, and then Kuzi Umegawa changed hands and shouted:
"Who wants leg armor! RMB transaction!"
As soon as he shouted, nearly ten people nearby started bidding again.
The entire scene fell into a new round of auction.
Sherlock didn't have time to look at Umekawa Kuko's little thoughts and how much money he could make by changing hands. He also didn't have time to care about how wealthy those players were in the other world. He was thinking about very practical issues.
Most of the total of 600,000 copper coins were settled with copper coins engraved with the number 100, that is, one copper coin with a face value of 100, as well as silver coins and other currencies.
But just like this, it was like a mountain piled up in front of Sherlock. Sherlock couldn't help but have a headache. There were only 100 people, and so much currency had been piled up in less than a month. If it was carried out in the future, The so-called second test and third test, according to Blue, 800 million players are waiting.
Of course, not all 800 million players can enter, and the server established by the dungeon core does not have that large capacity. The dungeon core must be upgraded to continue to increase the number of connections. When I think about the consumption of metal currency after the number of people increases in the future, Increase it again.
It's not that Sherlock can't afford this metal currency, but because Sherlock finds it very troublesome. Sherlock also plans to use these metal currencies to lure adventurers on the surface, and then use those adventurers to make magic stones. Give them all. It’s nothing if the players carry it in their pockets.
Sherlock looked at his magic stone card, thought for a while and asked:
"Blue, can you fix the banking system?"
"What?" Blue was surprised.
"Just like the magic stone card, you can use the card to directly transfer the magic stone to the other party during the transaction, and you can also take out the magic stone when you need it." Sherlock continued: "These players use these metals to With the currency in my arms, I have already lost a lot just from the loss of death. When the number of people increases and hundreds of thousands or millions of players come in, how much currency do I have to prepare for them?"
"Indeed, if this problem is not solved, these currencies alone will require large-area warehouses to store. One hundred players have accumulated so much wealth in one month. If the number of players increases significantly in the future, their possessions will There will definitely be more wealth." Blue said: "Sir Sherlock, although the workload is a bit heavy, I will work overtime to complete this banking system, and I will need more magic support from you during this period."
As long as the problem can be solved with magic, it is not a big problem. Sherlock asked "Blue" to hurry up and start working on it. He didn't have to do anything during this period, so he just built the banking system quickly and put it online as soon as possible. , improve the game quality of players, improve the game mechanism, and most importantly, save yourself money!
One hundred people have already spent a dozen magic stones. If there is an influx of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of players, how many more magic stones will be spent
Players outside happily watched the rich people and shared their auctioned game coins, while Sherlock transferred most of his magic power to "Blue" for charging to develop a banking system.
Nothing happened, Sherlock turned on the computer and said to himself:
"I'll just play for another half hour..."
—————
The time for the Dungeon Master Experience Sharing Conference is coming soon. Although it only lasts for three short days, Sherlock has been called out by the players many times to help resurrect, repair corpses, and purchase private territory. beds etc.
Those players did not relax after completing the auction. In order to be selected to perform hidden tasks, they did crazy tasks, killed spiders, and exchanged materials for reputation. Some casualties were inevitable.
It didn't matter before, but now, it's very uncomfortable to keep interrupting him from studying the game "Dungeon".
Sherlock once vowed to find a wizard who could restore the corpse, but after thinking about it, Sherlock gave up the idea. Not to mention that the matter of resurrecting the corpse must be left to someone he completely trusted. The wizard's monthly salary alone was It’s a beautiful number. How can this money be wasted just to play games
Sherlock is a demon lord with ideals, how could he waste his ideals just because of a game? What is the game? I don't like it at all.
"Lord Sherlock, it looks like you have already cleared the dungeon. Have you cleared it twice?"
Blue said this with a congratulatory tone from the side.
"Oh, it's just a game, let's not talk about it. Have you found the servant who will come with me to the Dungeon Master Experience Sharing Conference?" Sherlock asked as he took an elegant sip of strong tea.
"It has been chosen, Lord Sherlock." Blue said, and there were already three excited goblins waiting outside the dungeon:
"You can leave now."
