"Okay." Gu Fei was straightforward.
As for Brother You, he was browsing the web while discussing his next deal on QQ! Suddenly, the update was announced. Brother You immediately knew that the deal was going to fail. As expected, the avatar on QQ jumped and sent a "Look at the update" message. Then, there were no more messages.
But before these people could rush to the auction house and exchange center, the system had already announced in the world: Due to the adjustment of the gold coin rules, the economy has been completely reshuffled. The equipment and items that the players consigned for sale have been returned to the players' pockets.
"Oh? How much did it drop? "Brother You was alert.
"Tens of thousands isn't a small amount. Let's split it among everyone!" Luoluo joked.
"Okay!" Gu Fei nodded. He agreed with this view. The situation this time was completely different from the guild competition. At that time, it was a one-on-one elimination. An accident could determine the outcome of the battle. Hence, Reborn Amethyst still had a chance to be a dark horse. This time, all the guilds had the same rules and started from the same starting line. Hence, the chances of them taking advantage of the situation were greatly reduced.
This update caused a huge commotion. Studios, professional players, ordinary players, professional players, cash players … all sorts of players made their own reactions the moment they saw the update.
Division of power. It was a subtle choice of words. The players hadn't even figured out what was going on yet, and now, the officials had sent out these unclear updates. The players were furious, and the guild leaders of the major cities went on QQ, YY, MSN, and all other communication tools to contact the players in their guilds. They went to the forums to make a ruckus, insisting that the officials explain everything clearly this time.
"F * ck!!" Thin Waist Dance led everyone in disdain. From this, it could be seen how difficult it was to be a human. If you said that you would give it to them, they actually didn't want it. But if you said that you didn't, they would say that you were stingy …
Since the start of the game, this was the first time the system showed warmth. Many people shed tears of relief …
In conclusion, the last sentence was that attacking a city didn't just require the players' bravery, it also required intelligence and luck.
"The system didn't mention anything about the mercenary group. It only said that the guild is participating. It seems like the mercenary group has nothing to do with it," July said.
"Thousand Miles, you have a lot of gold coins on you, right? Previously, your Thousand Miles Drunk studio was the one that made the most money, "Luoluo said.
The game hadn't been released for the entire day, and the estimated release time had been pushed back three times in a row. The game's forums were the busiest day since the game's release. The number of people online even broke the record for the Guild and Mercenary Group Competition. Almost all the players in the parallel world were waiting for the release of the game while browsing the forums for gossip.
"Ten times." The Han Family young master said.
"Even if that's the case … in this situation, how should we calculate the price of a mercenary group?"
"The wine has been reduced." The Han Family Young Master said.
At this time, the players couldn't care less about the gold coins. Since they couldn't enter the game for the time being, everyone quickly got busy with the upcoming Guild War. The chat group of the guild leaders that was just a 'game company condemning conference' immediately turned into a strategic deployment before the city war. The officials announced the rules of the Siege War, and especially pointed out that there were quests in one of the sections. However, the specific content of the quests was not mentioned in the usual style. The more powerful guilds were scared when they heard that "some of the weaker guilds, if used properly, might be able to obtain more points than the bigger guilds in the siege war". They temporarily decided that the main force would kill the enemies and obtain points, while the weaker ones would be responsible for searching for quests.
"Can points be bought?" Slender Waist Dance asked. They couldn't even buy gold coins anymore, but their habits didn't change.
The city war was set for the weekend. The update took up the entire day of Wednesday. After the update on Thursday, the game was reopened. When the players entered the game again, they felt lost and unfamiliar …
The officials said that the game currency had stopped refreshing. Actually, it was just a pause. It didn't mean that they wouldn't interfere anymore. However, from now on, the currency refresh would no longer be uncontrolled. The officials would adjust the amount of currency, the amount of goods, the price of goods, and the speed of currency circulation. For this, they hired the famous economic expert "XXX" as a consultant. Of course, the players didn't know who this "XXX" was. However, when they saw the officials' comments, some of the players who knew a little bit understood. This kind of control over the currency release was almost the same as a country issuing currency in real life. The officials wanted to continue down the path of making the game more realistic!
As for the way to obtain points, killing enemies was naturally the simplest and most direct way. However, killing enemies didn't just depend on quantity, but also quality. Battles that had a decisive impact on the final outcome of the battle would give more points. Apart from that, killing enemies was the most direct way to obtain points, but it wasn't the only way. Between the main cities, there were many siege related quests that could also be used to obtain points. If some of the weaker guilds used it well, they might be able to obtain more points than the big guilds during the siege.
"It's just wine. However, to me, it's equivalent to having ten times the money in my hands. This update is really not bad, "Mr. Han said.
The officials were also furious. There were people who didn't even finish reading the previous update before running out to spout nonsense. Why was it like this this time? Actually, the players couldn't be blamed this time. The official website had too many visitors at the moment, and the page refreshed very slowly. When the players saw the second update, they thought that it was over when it reached the "division of forces". In fact, it hadn't refreshed completely. After shouting for a while, they turned back and took a glance. Eh, why was there a scroll bar at the side? They hurriedly scrolled down, and the content was complete.
As for Sword Specter and Brother You who didn't have a guild, Sword Specter seemed to have not updated at all and continued to practice. Brother You also walked with Sword Specter. Recently, there were many discussions about the drop rates of the monsters in the past. Once the game started, Brother You couldn't wait to research it.
However, the problem was that in real life, goods had to be produced, processed, re-processed, put on the market, and people would use money to buy them. The money that they bought and consumed would be put back into the production field. This was a perfect cycle. However, the game obviously didn't have such a system. This was because the goods in the game weren't produced with money. They were directly refreshed by the system. Without this kind of industrial chain structure, money could be controlled, but goods could be produced in large quantities. The players held onto their money tightly and were unwilling to spend it. Wouldn't this cause economic regression?
"I don't have much, I gave it all to them," Gu Fei said.
The players who reacted immediately rushed to the Exchange Hall, Auction House, and other places like crazy. They wanted to remove the items that they had consigned for sale. After a day of suspicion, many players agreed with the saying, "Not only gold coins, but equipment won't be able to be farmed in the future either."
"This … There wasn't an explanation! You want to … "July thought that Gu Fei wanted to bring their Young Master's Elite Group to help, but she suddenly remembered that apart from Sword Ghoul and Brother You, everyone else in the Elite Group had a guild. Thus, she stopped halfway through her sentence.
No one would have thought that the rules of this City War would be completely different from what they had expected.
Tens of thousands wasn't much … If it wasn't for the fact that they were all girls, they would have definitely scolded them. However, everyone knew that tens of thousands wasn't a lot to them. Didn't those guys all spend two hundred thousand at once?
In the Amethyst Rebirth Channel, Slender Waist Dance was wailing in pain! This girl was also one of the unlucky people in this update. Two days ago, she had bought a lot of items and was preparing to exchange RMB for gold coins. In the end, she was caught up in the update. Now that she was back, all the orders for RMB to buy gold coins were gone. Everyone was holding onto their gold coins, waiting for it to appreciate. Slender Waist Dance only had a few copper coins left in her pocket. Spending money so cleanly, she could be considered a genius.
Currently, the economy was in a state of confusion. No one knew how much a gold coin was worth.
"Yup!" Gu Fei nodded. He took out a gold coin from his pocket and threw it into her hand. "I'll give you a gold coin."
"Useless. I didn't ask you for money." Slender Waist Dance looked down on Gu Fei for pretending to be poor.
"Ten times … Is this the current system's current currency value?" Brother You mumbled.
The few coins that Slender Waist Dance threw were silently picked up by July and stuffed back into her hand. Then, she looked at Gu Fei and said, "Let's talk about the City War! Our guild is very weak. We definitely can't kill enemies and steal points. We can only rely on quests. What do you think, Qian Li? "
Slender Waist Dance had another ten thousand gold coins. Her smile returned to her face. She put the ten thousand gold pouch into her pocket. She was annoyed with the few coins in her hand, so she threw them away.
"That's more like it." Slender Waist Dance accepted it without hesitation. The eyes of July and the others on the side jumped out. She really dared to give this, and she really dared to accept that.
"…" Gu Fei was speechless. Rich people were rich people after all. No matter how much trouble you made in the game, you wouldn't be able to hurt them. Slender Waist Dance was now in dire straits mainly because she had money but had no way to buy gold coins. When the market normalized again, she would still be the top RMB warrior.
Online orders were directly traded with RMB. Currently, the value of gold coins in the game would definitely increase. Although the price of equipment would decrease, due to the subtle "confiscation of items", the price of the equipment might just be an illusion caused by the appreciation of gold coins. The real value would actually increase. At the end of the day, RMB was the real hard currency in the game. If you really wanted to compare the value, you would have to use RMB to measure it.
"A few of my friends don't have a guild. I wonder what this event is for!" Gu Fei was actually thinking about South Sword and the other seven. They were originally not in a guild or a mercenary group. Later on, they learned from Young Master's Elite Group and formed a mercenary group to play. As for Young Master's Elite Group, they did indeed have a guild. At this time, they were all attending their own guild meeting. Han Family's Young Master and Zhan Wu Shang. Even if they weren't the core of the guild, they still had the right to attend this sort of core meeting. Due to the conflict between Gu Fei and Unhindered Four Seas, Imperial Divine Cry's status in the guild had been reduced to a mere figurehead. However, after the Unhindered Four Seas quest, Young Master's elite team had provided him with a great deal of help at a critical moment, and the conflict had been resolved. Imperial Divine Cry was a top-tier expert, and he had been summoned back to Unhindered.
"Yes, I know. I was just joking. "Gu Fei said.
City Wars were still a competition between players, but it wasn't a direct confrontation. Rather, it was through attacking the city, and the system would determine the power distribution of the main city.
"I'll kill you!!!" Slender Waist Dance pulled out her sword and was about to pounce. Gu Fei hurriedly took out a Ten Thousand Gold Pouch and threw it into her hands, "Take this first."
"What?" The others hurriedly asked. Han Family's Young Master had spoken. Could it be that this guy had discovered some loophole? Everyone was excited.
The chat went silent. The girls couldn't compare to Imperial Divine Ming and Zhan Wu Shang's shamelessness. If it was this group of people, even if they were shocked, they would still be shocked while discussing how to split the loot.
What the players noticed was that the items were also confiscated. Currency was taken back by the system, so it was easy to stuff it into the hands of an NPC. But the items were also confiscated. Could it be that the items were controlled by the system like currency? Because the system had made this announcement, the players couldn't go into the game to grind monsters and experiment. They were all extremely anxious. On some online trading sites, after the currency transactions were all taken back, the number of equipment transactions also decreased.
"But there are so many guilds. Even if we steal quests, we won't have any advantage. It looks like we'll just have to accompany the prince and have some fun." July said.
"Then can we hire a mercenary group?" Gu Fei asked.
"Cough … I'm joking." Luo Luo said.
"It really isn't much. I only have a few tens of thousands on me." Gu Fei said.
The members of Young Master's Elite Group came online one after another and celebrated in the chat. Compared to the players who spent large amounts of money before the update, these guys really earned a lot. Their leveling efficiency was just ahead of the update. Currently, no one had more gold in the game than them. Seeing the gold in their hands increase in value, how could these guys not be happy?
So the division of power meant that the ownership of the main city wouldn't belong to any guild. The highest ruler of the main city would still be the system. The guilds would be ranked according to their points in the main city battles. In the end, the system would divide the main cities according to their points. The calculation method was very simple. All the main cities would be divided into ten thousand points. The guilds would be ranked according to their points and their territory would be divided according to their points. For example, after the City War ended, the first-place guild would receive 1,000 points, and would be given 10% of its territory. The second-place guild would receive 500 points, and another 500 points would be given to the second-place guild, and so on and so forth until all 10,000 points were distributed. Even if the remaining guilds received points, they would not be given any territory to claim their territory.
As they couldn't enter the game at the moment, the players could only worry. The second update was actually something that the players were very concerned about recently. However, under the rules of gold, it seemed insignificant. The second update was: City Battle.
Gu Fei was relatively calm and said disapprovingly, "Good for nothing." The moment he came online, Purple Crystal Rebirth's July had already sent him a private message before the people in the mercenary group told him to hurry back and participate in the city battle in two days.
Gu Fei chatted in the two chat channels as he walked towards Purple Crystal Rebirth's office. He had been in the Cloud Cloud City for the past few days. Now that he had come out of the revival point, he headed over. When he arrived, there weren't many people in the office. Most of them had just come online and were rushing over. There weren't many who were as fast as Gu Fei. The ones who arrived earlier than him, other than those who had gone offline and were closer to him, were Slender Waist Dance.
Many of them couldn't wait to rush to the forums after reading the opening. However, in reality, the official update was also a long one. After the opening, there were thousands of words.
"My condolences, my condolences." For the first time, Gu Fei sent a message to express his condolences. In the memories of all the girls, this was the first time Thousand Miles Drunk had sent a message in the guild channel.
Slender Waist Dance was still crying. When she saw Gu Fei coming over, she opened her hand to him. There were four pitiful copper coins lying on it. "Look, there are only a few left."
Regarding this, the officials didn't say anything. However, from another rule, the players could smell some clues. Among the small rules derived from this currency rule, one of them was that if one didn't log into the game for a month, their account would be erased. All the currency and items in the account would be confiscated. If there were special circumstances that required them to stop playing for more than a month, they would need to apply to the system for account preservation.
What was especially strange was that a player from a certain main city expressed strong condemnation of this update. Then, his statement received a positive response. In an instant, there were tens of thousands of people who came to sign their names. Just as the others were shocked, Brother You, who was reading the thread in front of the computer, silently closed the thread. This was the Ten Thousand Guild Alliance that had just completed the transaction of the Efficiency Leveling Method. After a major transaction of 200 gold coins, they suddenly released this update. How could they not be furious? There were many people like them. Countless players who had spent all their money in the last second of the update felt as if their parents had died.
At this time, Young Master Han suddenly sent a message in the mercenary channel. "Yo, this update is not bad!!"
While everyone was panicking, the system actually created such a major event like a city war. The players felt that this was like starting a war to divert the people's attention. However, complaints were complaints. This was something that everyone had been concerned about for a long time. There were still many people who paid attention to it, especially the leaders of the major guilds.
This final rule was something that many players didn't expect. However, even though they didn't expect it, it was still reasonable. The main city in the game was quite large, but currently, the largest guild only had around a thousand people. It was a joke for such a small number of people to play a city war in such a large main city. Even if there were two guilds, or even three or four guilds fighting against each other, they still wouldn't be able to occupy such a large area. This move by the system could be said to be a magnificent feat.
"The system didn't say it, but it shouldn't stop the mercenary groups from participating, right? At most, the people they kill won't be counted, but for example, when doing some quests, it might still be useful. "Gu Fei said.
"No way, how can this be bought?" July said.
