161 Monopoly of the market by expropriation and extortion
"I know, I know!"
Idyllic Fenghua nodded desperately: "It's easy to buy prey, just use copper coins to collect it, if you buy materials, because we buy everything, so we pack the stalls, and even buy their bags, and only need to sell them to NPCs at half price, basically you can also use copper coins, I ask them to wipe those that can be wiped, and I can use iron coins and inferior copper coins if I can't wipe them." It is estimated that the small repair speed can keep up with the speed of our acquisition. ”
"Alright, I'll go back to the city of Ogarius first."
Wutong found that the pastoral wind flower really has the potential to be a businessman, he only gave 1 copper coin to collect 100 ancient coins, and he only gave half price to collect materials, so that a large number of ancient coins would be very profitable, these dozen packs of ancient coins were calculated according to 150,000 pieces, and a total of 15 silver coins were spent to acquire, as long as there were 40% iron coins and 40% inferior copper coins, then they could get 66 silver coins worth iron coins and inferior copper coins, and they earned 51 silver coins in vain!
The repaired iron coins and the inferior copper coins and ancient coins are very distinguishable, Wutong and the little girl worked together, and after helping to repair a part, they handed it over to the pastoral wind flower, and left him 20 gold coins of the acquisition funds, directly in front of them to activate the teleportation circle, and flew to the Nautilus Village, and the little girl who saw it was dumbfounded.
found the idyllic scenery in the central square of Nautilus Village, only to find that their group was surrounded by a group of players here, noisy, and the idyllic scenery was still full of sweat.
Wutong, who finally squeezed in, asked strangely: "What's the matter?" ”
"Mr. Mu! You're here! Seeing the appearance of Wutong, the idyllic scenery was the same as seeing relatives, and pointed aggrievedly to the players who surrounded them on the inside and outside of the three layers and said: "As soon as we came, we started to buy ancient coins, but these guys didn't know where they took out a bunch of those broken copper and iron, and there were only dozens of silver coins on our bodies combined, and the money was not enough to buy, so tell them not to buy it first, they won't let us go!" ”
Sycamore looked behind them and was startled, good fellow! It is worthy of being a bigger village than Shell Village, and when he left such a skill, they actually collected twenty or thirty sacks of ancient coins, which is also to blame for him, when he threw the idyllic scenery in Nautilus Village, he forgot to leave them the purchase funds.
"How much did you get it?" Sycamore was curious.
"50 ancient coins and 1 copper coin are collected!" The idyllic scenery is always wronged, isn't this the price you set?
Wutong was speechless, and said that your brother does more business than you, shook his head, and handed him a bag of copper coins that had been exchanged in Shell Village just now: "Change it to 1 copper coin and receive 100 pieces!" ”
"Why? Didn't you just get 50 copper coins? ”
"That's right! How can you grow when you see the wind? ”
"Don't do it, don't do it!"
"If you don't want to, keep it! We've overbought the numbers! Wutong didn't say a word back, the players were suddenly silent, because the monsters near Nautilus Village are different from those in Shell Village, so the explosion rate of this useless ancient coin is particularly high, almost every player has a small sack in his hand, keep it to occupy space, and it's a pity to throw it away, and finally see someone buy this useless ancient coin, and immediately take it out for money, how much can be exchanged for dozens of copper coins.
The 10 little brothers brought by the idyllic scenery immediately shouted: "Line up, queue up!" The queue to be sold! ”
After muttering and complaining for a while, the players began to line up, and those who had sold before were happy, shouting "Earned!" Earned! Originally, they also saw that someone bought this ancient coin, and thought that there was any special use, but they all waited and watched for a while, but found that the amount of this ancient coin was too large, and it didn't look like a useful thing at all, how could a good thing be so large? So I sold it easily, and I just wanted to fight again anyway, but I took advantage of it.
Leaving the idyllic scenery behind, they continued to buy ancient coins, prey, and materials, and he went straight to the knight's house in Nautilus Village with a smile and a smile, and asked the clerk here to rent the public reserve warehouse, and then informed the idyllic scenery that they moved the acquisition site to the door of the warehouse.
After a while, thousands of players followed behind them in the idyllic scenery, carrying bulging sacks and came, which startled Wutong, and hurriedly hid in the warehouse, directly burned 1.35 million soul energy points, and pointed the [repair technique] to level 20, repaired the nearly 300,000 ancient coins they collected first into new ones, poured them into the small treasury, left the ancient coins, and poured out the iron coins and inferior copper coins in two piles, leaving them for acquisition, and then hurried back to Ogarus City.
When they returned to the city of Ogarus, they were also surrounded by the blood lion and half a cigarette, not that they had no money to buy, they had gold coins after selling the garbage equipment, and it was enough to buy a large number of prey, ancient coins and materials.
The reason why they were surrounded was mainly because there were too many players selling prey, ancient coins and materials, and they were originally just buying one stall at a time, but some players found out that they were almost sweeping the streets, and took the initiative to set up their own stalls to peddle.
In the end, it developed into a blood-killing lion, and they lined up a dozen or twenty stalls in the square, and players waited in a long line in front of their stalls to sell their things.
As a result, a dozen hills were piled up in the open space behind their stalls!
Wutong looked at a large pile of various prey, ancient coins and materials, which is called a waterfall Khan! There are various types of prey, because the types of monsters near each village are different, such as spiders, centipedes, scorpions, snakes, all kinds of bugs, and all kinds of strange aquatic mobs, most of which are creatures below level 10.
As for the materials, the variety is even more outrageous, only what you can't think of, there is nothing you can't find, almost as long as you leave the village, anything you can see can become a material, so that the materials collected by the players are all kinds of dizzying, because there are so many types of materials, if you need a certain material in the future, you may have to find it until you die without knowing it!
At present, the materials that players can collect are basically very cheap low-level materials, which are better than a large amount, if it is not too complicated, it is not easy for players to collect, but it is also a channel to earn living expenses in the early stage.
But the problem is that there are too many types of materials, and it is impossible for players not to collect valuable materials when they see them, and the result is that the materials in everyone's bag are cluttered and devastating, and the vast majority of players choose what to find and throw into the bag, and they are not classified at all.
As a result, there was a problem when selling them, because it was difficult for them to assemble a group, and the NPCs didn't accept two or three scattered materials at all, and the value was too low to pay for the purchase.
When they first started to buy half a cigarette, they were still very serious about counting the quantity and price of each thing, but after receiving it, how could they have any effort? Coupled with the fact that they had not returned for a long time after they left, they simply did not have a currency with a smaller denomination than 1 copper coin, and they simply could not make the purchase as they had planned.
The half of the smoke that was entangled by the players directly announced, simply all the materials are collected in sacks, a hemp bag of 100 pounds, about 5 sets of materials per pound, about 5 silver coins worth the appearance, ignoring the weight and price difference of various materials, after taking an average value, cut half the price and then erase the fraction, 2 silver coins and a sack!
This Nima is no longer half price, this Nima is a wholesale price!
If you really calculate it, players can probably get about 5 silver coins by selling a sack of materials to NPCs, but there are not several kinds of sack materials that are the same, let alone making up a group, some materials have only one, and 5 groups are only one copper coin, how do you calculate the price? NPCs are too lazy to do this 1/100 copper coin business with you.
If you can't sell it, it means that there is no value, NPCs don't accept it, and suddenly a few players buy a lot of various materials, which undoubtedly makes those players who are ready to throw away those garbage-like materials see the light, before the [craft] skill is not popularized, the price of materials can't go up at all, and even if some old players realize that if they have the financial resources to hoard a large number of materials in the early stage, they may make a small fortune in the near future, but not many players have this ability.
Those large player forces can raise enough funds to acquire and hoard, but the problem is that they don't know when these materials will be able to create profits, and it is impossible to put the hard-earned money of all players in the entire force on this.
Sacrificing the initial strength advantage of the forces to gamble on a batch of low-level materials that do not know when they will increase in value, if they really do that, it is not a venture capital, but a fool.
Seeing this, Sycamore hurried to the clerk of the city of Ogarius, rented the city's public reserve warehouse, and then informed the Blood Lion that they had purchased the prey, ancient coins, and materials they had already purchased to be transported to the warehouse in the wagon they had rented before.
And those players who came to hear the wind also followed the convoy in a mighty way, and it seemed that they were planning to deliver to the door!
"Mr. Mu! We've already acquired more than a dozen gold coin materials, are we going to buy more? Half a cigarette quietly tugged at the sycamore.
"Close! Why not!? Not enough money? Wutong glanced at the mountains of hemp bags piled up on the carriage, and it was estimated that there were about six or seven hundred sacks, and Wutong decided that if he didn't spend all the 400 gold coins, it would not be finished!
He is different from those player forces, he does not have the pressure of hundreds of people to feed, nor the pressure of competing for the advantage in the early stage of the game, don't look at the more than 100 players employed by his subordinates now, but he personally belongs to the state of feeding the whole family without starving.
Originally, he was still a little under pressure on tuition, but because of the accident of the Bone Eater Ring, he had an additional "well-wisher" who "donated to out-of-school children" to help him, and paid part of the tuition on his behalf, and now he only has to bear the expenses on the list of himself and Xiaoxiao, which undoubtedly makes Wutong, who has begun to earn some money, a lot easier, and can free up some money to give birth.
"Spend all 400 gold coins?" Half a cigarette was a little frightened, Mr. Mu may not know how big a sum of 400 gold coins is, but it doesn't mean that people like him who are on the fringes of the Great Guild don't know.
The "Bloodkill" guild can be regarded as a medium-sized force player organization, right? On the island of Ogalus alone, there are about five or six hundred!
But the whole guild can raise about 100 gold coins, and those larger guilds can draw more than 200 gold coins at most, even if they are stronger.
But the more people, the greater the consumption, the funds in the hands of the guild members are not drawn out if they want to, everyone still needs supplies, and they also need to support their own living expenses.
It doesn't matter if the funds are returned in the short term, draining their own people for a long time is a kind of slow suicide, and in the end it can only drag the overall strength of the guild personnel to the bottom line.
The early stages of the game are the hardest and most thrilling, and if you're not careful, you can lose everything, so who dares to take any chances?
"Yes! It's all over! "Wutong is not worried about spending all the funds on hand and causing food shortages, he is a skilled person, and he can earn it again when he has no money, he cooperates with the two of them, under the premise of sufficient materials, he can produce at least 100 gold coins in one night, what is he afraid of? Besides, if you don't plan to hoard these acquired materials, you can sell them to NPCs in groups at any time to cash out, but Sycamore doesn't plan to do so.
He vaguely felt that it was much more cost-effective to hoard these materials than to cash out directly!
A large number of prey, ancient coins and various materials were transported into the public reserve warehouse, piled up like a hill, Wutong thought about it, explained the half cigarette that he was busy purchasing, and hired fifty casual players to come in with the hiring price of 2 silver coins a night, and began to sort out the mixed materials, and put them in the warehouse.
He himself, on the other hand, went to the place where the ancient coins were piled up, and began to frantically repair the coins that were as broken as copper and iron.
Except for a small amount of use, Sycamore suddenly doesn't plan to sell the low-value currency that these players have exploded from the monsters, he plans to hoard it!
Just as players need higher value currencies for circulation, the market formed by players also needs these currencies with lower denominations than copper coins, because without these low denomination currencies, players can't buy each other's scattered materials, and if they can't form a group, they can't sell to NPCs for cash, and if they can't sell to NPCs, they can only sell to him, the only monopolist who is currently buying in large quantities!
Sycamore doesn't have much experience in the game, but this doesn't prevent him from realizing some business opportunities in some games, the official set up such a perfect currency system, it is impossible to be targeted, these players are easy to get from the monsters of cheap currency, there must be its use, although I don't know why it appears in the form of rusted waste coins, so that players can't use it directly, but there must be a way to solve this problem, such as the [repair] that players can learn from the French grade.
At present, players don't know that these waste coins can be repaired through [Repair] and turned into usable currency, that's because first, there are few legal players, and secondly, there are fewer legal players who have mastered [Repair].
Sycamore is equivalent to grabbing the front of the player, grasping this opportunity, and has the strength and ability to monopolize the circulation of low-face currency for a period of time, although this time should not be too long, but it is enough for Sycamore to collect and loot the resources in the hands of players for a period of time.
I just learned 19 new 0-order spells from the old mage, and Wutong originally felt that many of them seemed to be useless, but the old mage's sentence "There are no useless spells, only stupid mages." "He seems to have realized something, for example, [Repair] seems to be only used to repair the durability of equipment and items, but it seems to be specially arranged to repair these waste coins.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have enough soul energy points, Wutong would have burned all the spells to level 20 to the full level, but after squandering it before, the soul energy points he harvested with [Bone Storm] had been almost consumed, and now he could only honestly work first.
The effect of [Repair] burned to level 20 is:
[Repair]: Repair 20 lbs/level 20 objects, range: 10 yards + 100 yards/20 levels, energy cost: 20 pounds/100 energy.
With the upper limit of his energy value of 726 points, he can only release it 7 times in a row, but it is enough to repair a full 70,000 coins, and when the energy value recovers, he can also use it to process prey with Wu, in fact, the most important thing he should do is to use [meditation] to recover after consuming his energy value, but that would be too time-consuming.
In less than a minute, Wutong exhausted his energy value, and then poured the repaired coins into the small vault, this thing is like a "classifier" and "money counter", pouring the mixed coins into it, and naturally sorting and counting them.
What Wutong has to do is to pour out the iron coins and inferior copper coins again, 10,000 pieces of a sack on the line, his small vault can only hold "copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, special currency" four kinds, iron coins are counted as "special currency", inferior copper coins are counted as "copper coins", it is okay to make room for a while, but there is no way to carry it inside, because if the iron coins are also carried, those unidentified ancient coins will have no place to put them.
