Chapter 53 Playing Games Can Make Money Li Xiaohua, 20 years old, is one of the second batch of residents who moved to Donghuang. Because he has no skills, he does not have a stable job yet and can only do odd jobs.
He also plays games on a daily basis. When the game live streaming industry was on the rise a while ago, he tried to follow suit, but unfortunately it never gained much popularity and finally gave up.
In addition to work these days, he has been obsessed with "Crazy Dungeon". The unprecedented profit model and trading system have made him excited. Since game props can be sold for coupons, can't they be sold directly for money? With this idea, he no longer played "Crazy Dungeon" with a relaxed attitude, and began to study seriously, observing and recording the prices of items in the trading house, testing the main and secondary attributes and affix combinations of equipment, and paying attention to every trading opportunity.
Because he has been playing for a long time, although his equipment score is not high, his level can barely keep up with the front-line troops. He sells equipment as he plays, and has accumulated more than 5000 points.
"If you want to convert this into money, it's more than 500 yuan!" Li Xiaohua was a little excited, "How about I sell it cheaper, more than 5000 coupons, if I sell it for 400 yuan, someone should buy it, right?"
Thinking of this, Li Xiaohua couldn't hold back his impulse and immediately ran to the World Trading Channel to shout. As a result, he was blocked as soon as he sent it.
System prompt: The transaction channel prohibits sending offline transaction information! Warm reminder: Offline transactions are risky, beware of scams!Star Interactive Entertainment does not bear any responsibility for any consequences arising from players’ private transactions outside the game! After seeing this prompt, Li Xiaohua realized that game manufacturers had been on guard against this trick for a long time. No wonder he hadn't seen the relevant information on the channel before. He wasn't the only one who thought of it, but they were all blocked.
"Can offline transactions also be prevented?" Li Xiaohua didn't believe it. He had ignored this aspect before, but now he observed carefully and quickly discovered the problem. It turned out that offline transactions were communicated in code words.
Offline transactions are out-of-city transactions, such as out-of-city transactions of [-] gold coins, which are intended to be sold in cash rather than with coupons. If you are interested, please discuss the price and transaction method in private.
Coupons cannot be traded directly. Offline transactions generally involve trading equipment, props and gold coins.
After figuring it out, Li Xiaohua went to the trading bank to exchange all the coupons for gold coins. He went back to the trading channel to shout. He argued with a few people for a long time about whether the money came first or the goods first. Finally, he met a fool who was willing to give money first.
Li Xiaohua was trustworthy. After receiving the money, he quickly traded the gold coins. He felt happy when he saw the income of 400 yuan in his account. He said to the customer: "Aren't you afraid that I won't give you the gold coins after receiving the money?"
Customer: "Not afraid."
"Why?" Li Xiaohua was confused.
The customer raised his head and said: "My friend is a policeman. I can find you by following the network cable!"
"..." Li Xiaohuahan thought he was a fool with a lot of money before, but the identity of the other party reminded him, "Since you are a police officer, does that mean offline transactions are not illegal?"
Customer: "As far as I know, there are currently no relevant provisions. Unless a new policy is introduced, as long as you trade in good faith, you will not be caught. But fraud is another matter."
Li Xiaohua quickly promised: "I understand, I have always abided by the law."
At the same time, Fang Qi saw a post on the forum titled "Offline Trading Guide, Inventory of Commonly Used Code Words in Trading Channels".
Unless relevant policies are introduced, Xingkong Interactive Entertainment alone cannot stop offline transactions.
It’s not that Fang Qi has never thought about opening a cash transaction bank by himself and charging some handling fees. However, firstly, the procedures are more troublesome and may not be passed. Secondly, even if he passes, opening a cash transaction bank will affect the circulation of coupons. For that little handling fee, it’s not worth the gain.
"I can't control it, I can't control it." Because the post was not posted in the "Crazy Dungeon" section, and Star Interactive Entertainment did not have administrative rights, Fang Qi could only click on the report and then pretended not to see the person.
Unexpectedly, in the evening, another shocking news came out on the forum. Someone produced a level [-] swordsman professional gauntlet. The main attribute is physical attack power, the secondary attribute damage bonus, the affix critical strike, critical strike damage and agility, and the numerical value All are close to the upper limit.
This person just showed it on the trading channel, which attracted countless trading inquiries. After some bargaining, the equipment was sold for 12000 yuan in cash!
After the money arrived, this person couldn't help but post on the forum and lamented: "What a pity, it's level 40 equipment. If it were full level 50 equipment, the price would be 10 times higher!"
Afraid that netizens would not believe it, he posted a screenshot of the previous chat. The buyer's words, "No matter how you say, level 40 is a transitional outfit. If it is full level, I am willing to pay 10 times." Many people were stimulated.
"Here, you can make so much money by playing games?" ""Crazy Dungeon" has millions of active users, so there will definitely be a few people who take advantage of them."
"I admit that I am jealous, but your words are still a bit sour."
"I heard this game can make money, is it true?"
"It's fake, don't believe it!"
"real!"
For a time, the post became extremely popular and was forwarded by major media outlets. Many people who had no interest, attention, or understanding of "Crazy Dungeon" at first came to watch and consult.
Overnight, the number of registered users of "Crazy Dungeon" increased by hundreds of thousands. Major game manufacturers were hit again, and the active user data of their own games fell again.
"Mr. Qin, your decision to monopolize "Crazy Dungeon" is a good move. The number of registered users on the IW platform has exceeded 1200 million. 80% of the recent growth is due to "Crazy Dungeon", with nearly 300 million. This is amazing. They were all stolen from other platforms!”
Some executives who did not understand the specific contents of the contract happily flattered the leader at the company meeting.
The assistant looked at Qin Zhiyou quietly. As expected, the boss looked very complicated.
With so many new users, the turnover is probably going to skyrocket, and the exclusivity fee... ah! ! !
The executive looked at Qin Zhiyou in confusion. Mr. Qin's expression... Why did it mean "painful and happy"? He could understand happiness, but where was the pain?
Qin Zhiyou was in pain, but Fang Zhe was simply happy.
Early in the morning, the operation came to tell him the good news: "Director, yesterday's single-day turnover exceeded 1 million!"
"Really? That's great to congratulate you." Fang Qi said calmly.
As expected of a director, he was calm and indifferent. The operation admired him and asked tentatively: "You really don't want to send out posters?"
"Why, you can't hold it in any longer and want to play?" Fang Jie looked at him.
The operator said frankly: "That's necessary."
"You haven't earned any money, so what are you doing?" Fang Jie said in a funny tone.
The operation manager is confident: "The company is awesome and I am awesome!"
Fang Qi praised: "Okay, you are good and you have a bright future. Anyway, it's almost the next quarter and you're going to make a financial report. It's only a few days away. There's nothing to hide. Let's make it."
"Okay." As soon as the operation heard this, he immediately started to do it.
As soon as the operations manager left, Fang Zhe, who still had the calm and elegant demeanor of an expert, jumped up from his chair: "I have to go and show off too!"
In his positive energy, he completely forgot what he just said to the operation.
You haven't made any money, so why are you so angry?No, he didn’t forget that the money was just not earned by him for the time being, and he might get the money back with a bang... Hehe! (End of this chapter)
