"Congratulations:
After your unremitting efforts, you have finally upgraded the Monster Factory to the ninth stage.
All praise will pale in the face of absolute industrial strength.
At this stage, you will be the pinnacle of technology on this planet, leading the technological progress of this planet, and leading the future of technological development. "
"Upgrading."
"5% …"
"Finally … I've entered the upgrade state." Ye Qing, who was staring at the Monster Factory's industrial manufacturing index interface, could finally relax.
All that was left was to wait.
According to the speed of the progress bar, it would take about 30 hours to complete the ninth stage upgrade.
For the time being, Ye Qing did not know what kind of black technology blueprints the Monster Factory would give after the upgrade was completed. However, to prepare for a rainy day, Ye Qing had to take advantage of the upgrade time to prepare a batch of empty factory buildings for the upcoming new technological products.
…
The virtual world had been online for two days.
In two days, the virtual world had not changed much.
In the imperial city of Kyushu, there were still as many pedestrians on the streets as ever. Almost everyone was on their way. Of course, compared to the first day, at least the traffic on the streets was not all by walking. A small number of people had already ridden bicycles.
There were also a very small number of people who had entered the mechanized era, riding antique World War II motorcycles on the streets, attracting countless eyeballs.
"Take the guests, take the guests, fifty cents to the southern gate of the city, one yuan to the northern yellow forest of the city."
"Take the motorcycles, charge the meter, two cents per kilometer."
On the main road of the imperial city, this group of people who had become rich had the land to start a "taxi" business.
There was no other way. The virtual world was too real. If the map marked ten kilometers, it was really ten kilometers.
Walking there on foot would make users doubt their lives.
Similarly ~
There was no doubt that these "drivers" were active on the main road now. If they were in other circles or gaming platforms, they would be Kamikaze users who couldn't be any more rich.
This group of people often had drivers open the way when they went out. During the day, they ate and drank, and at night, they drank and drank.
Now, even if they had money, it was useless in the virtual world. All they could do was work bitterly.
On the first day, they could still buy virtual coins in the virtual world, but today, no one would sell them anymore.
That was because everyone now realized the importance of initial funds. With virtual coins, they could hire users to work, and they could buy countless mechanical products from the system store. They could even buy sci-fi products that didn't exist in reality.
Technology was the primary productive force. If they didn't work hard to improve their productivity at this stage, how could they get into the first echelon in the future?
In the Imperial City, other than the pedestrians on the streets, the means of transportation had changed.
On both sides of the road, there were also slight changes in the officially designated commercial areas.
Those originally blank shop signs were now lit up one by one.
It wasn't that the virtual world didn't have a way to recharge.
However, this channel was not open to ordinary users, and they could not directly recharge cash into virtual currency.
If he wanted to recharge, he would have to go to the various business bureaus in Imperial City and register for a business license.
After obtaining the license, he would be able to rent a shop in any of the designated commercial areas in Imperial City and do business there.
Of course, these shops were not free.
Because the land price was still under investigation, the merchants could only get a month's rent at most. After renting the shop, if he wanted to use the various decoration models provided by the system, he would also need to pay in RMB.
Hou Yuanmei was one of the many people who bought shops.
He was different from the bosses who were fighting to open pawnshops, material shops, and DIY weapon shops.
Hou Yuanmei was preparing to open a pipa training class …
He spent 5,000 yuan to rent a shop that took up a few hundred square meters from the business bureau and changed the name of the shop to [Yuanmei Pipa Training Class].
The surrounding shop owners, who were younger than 30 years, all said that Hou Yuanmei was crazy. Especially when they found out that Hou Yuanmei was 65 years old this year.
"I say, Master Hou, what are you trying to do?" The boss of a DIY weapon shop next door took advantage of the fact that the shop was being renovated and had nothing to do. He slipped into Hou Yuanmei's shop next door and persuaded, "Why don't you give this shop to me?"
"I'll give you 8,000 yuan privately."
The boss of the weapon shop was called Zhang Ke. In reality, he was the boss of a metal processing factory. He boasted that his hands-on skills were at the max level.
He wanted to expand the shop, but he was a little late. When he finished recharging and wanted to rent two shops in prime locations, the one he liked had already been snatched by Hou Yuanmei.
It would be fine if Hou Yuanmei opened a weapon or resource shop.
But he opened a pipa training class?
And he was a 65-year-old old man. Were all old men so fashionable now?
"Young man, just give up on that idea." Hou Yuanmei, who looked like an immortal, waved his hand indifferently, "Although I'm not rich, I don't lack your 8,000 yuan, right?"
"But you can't open a pipa training class." The boss of the weapon shop, Zhang Ke, casually found a place to sit down and smiled as he watched Hou Yuanmei use the virtual renovation model.
At this time, the pipa training class had been renovated by Hou Yuanmei into an antique room. Even the floor was made of soft straw mats.
"I'm curious. Why can't I open a pipa training class?" Hou Yuanmei raised his head and looked at him from the corner of his eyes, "I know that traditional culture and arts have declined, especially traditional musical instruments."
"But no matter how declining it is, it hasn't disappeared, right? People like us have the obligation to pass it down. "
"Then, do you think you can recruit students?" Other than wanting to buy this shop, Zhang Ke also didn't want this old man to see his pension money go to waste. "Think about it, most of the people playing the virtual world are young people."
"Look, we're at the busiest intersection in the imperial city. Which person isn't in a hurry?"
"They're all busy earning virtual coins. Who would want to learn the pipa?"
Zhang Ke felt that his analysis was very reasonable.
The virtual world was all-encompassing, but most of the young people wanted to get a magical ability in the virtual world first.
For example, mages, swordsmen, battleship commanders.
Therefore, in the early days, virtual coins and weapons were definitely the most important.
Pipa?
Could this thing reduce the defense of wild animals?
Thinking about this, Zhang Ke continued to persuade him, "Sir, you should know when you rented this shop. Now, you can only rent it for a month at most. Wait until next month, when the system has enough data on the shop below us. "
"Can the monthly rent be 5,000 yuan?"
"I think it's more like 50,000 yuan."
"If that's the case, then I'll give you the shop." Hou Yuanmei smiled lightly.
"Xiao Zhang, don't think I'm old. But when I came into contact with computers and the Internet, you were probably still drinking milk in a baby carriage. "
Hou Yuanmei closed the virtual panel in front of him, stood up and stretched his waist, then smiled and said, "Let me tell you something else."
"Don't think that I've spent all my savings just because I'm wearing holographic glasses and an Essence Soul suit that costs 300,000 yuan."
"In fact, I didn't spend a single cent on these two things."
"Holy sh * t ~ No way?" Zhang Ke was stunned. "Uncle, are you a relative of one of the executives in Monster Industry?"
Hou Yuanmei shook his head and joked, "If I were a relative of an executive, would I open a pipa training class?"
"I've been traveling around the world to eat and drink."
"Xiao Zhang, do you remember the first National Entertainment Event?"
After joking, Hou Yuanmei's tone became emotional. "Sir, I was lucky enough to be invited by them to be a traditional artist performing guest at that event."
"At that time, the appearance fee was tripled, but for us old guys, even if the appearance fee was tripled, it would only be tens of thousands of yuan. Compared to the millions of yuan of those celebrities, it's not even a fraction of their tax money. "
"The CEO of the Monster Industries is generous. He gave each of us a set of spirit equipment."
"Those celebrities don't have this treatment."
A few seconds after Hou Yuanmei finished speaking, Zhang Ke clapped her hands over his jaw. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to speak.
"You … are very good in the pipa world?"
"Not bad, otherwise, the Monster Industries wouldn't have invited me."
Zhang Ke stopped talking and remained motionless.
Hou Yuanmei's ID was his real name, and even the pipa training class used his name.
Obviously, Zhang Ke switched out and went online to look up information about Hou Yuanmei.
