The attractiveness of the arena as a 'main city' would allow the players to spread the word of the arena and attract more newcomers. This was the benefit that Han Xiao really wanted.
In fact, Han Technician had a lot of ideas. For example, setting up the odds for the opening of the arena. He also wanted to customize the PK rank for "Sky Island and the Maiden" or add points to the arena. Both of these could attract players, but he gave up after thinking about it. These two things were not easy to operate. They were things that were set by the game officials. If he, an "NPC," were to do it, he felt that there would be some hidden dangers and negative effects.
Most importantly, if he, as an "official," gave out rewards, those studios and actors everywhere would make him bankrupt! Han Technician would not fall for it. After all, this was one of his businesses in his previous life.
Although he was taking advantage of the players, strictly speaking, it was a mutually beneficial situation. From a neutral point of view, purely providing the venue and fairness, allowing the players to do what they want, was the most comfortable and safe position for Han Xiao. It could also be explained as "guiding the Inhumans to vent their excess energy."
When the main city's position was stabilized, it would take in a large number of players every day. In Han Xiao's blueprint, the next step was the evil real estate!
As the person in charge, other than the place to shelter the refugees, all the empty spaces in the sanctuary that were waiting to be built were his treasure trove!
The spendthrifts … Bah, the big customers were naturally the big guilds that were willing to buy property.
"Sigh, business..."
Looking at the moving heads in the square, Han Xiao stroked his chin and sighed.
...
Huang Yu was convinced.
He originally thought that the arena was a waste of resources, but after more than ten days of observation, he gradually found the potential benefits. Huang Yu did not understand Han Xiao's long-term plan, nor did he understand the nature of the players. However, when he did the turnover report, he found that the cost of renting the arena to the Inhumans far exceeded the cost of maintaining it. In the long run, the cost would be recovered sooner or later. After that, it would be a net profit, and this was only one of the benefits.
The Inhumans were the main force behind the construction of the sanctuary. However, the Inhumans were unpredictable and difficult to manage. Huang Yu didn't want the Inhumans to have too much contact with the refugees, so he divided the area where the Inhumans could be active. However, the Inhumans still came looking for the refugees every two to three days. Although their motive was to help (to complete missions), it also made Huang Yu's management ineffective. After the completion of the arena, the Inhumans took the initiative to make the arena their activity center. The square and the arena automatically became the Inhuman Community, which saved him the effort of management. The entire sanctuary was much more orderly.
At this time, Huang Yu was in the office, flattering Han Xiao, praising Han Technician's wisdom and foresight. All kinds of mushy words jumped out of his mouth and jumped into Han Xiao's ears, disgusting him to the point that he had goosebumps all over his body.
After chasing Huang Yu away with much difficulty, Han Xiao continued to think about his plans for the players' main cities. The use of the Arena was more in the future, and he was not satisfied with that.
To increase the attractiveness of the main city, the Arena is one of the factors. Another way is to have some regular activities. Other than the special activities of the game officials, if I want to attract the players to do activities, I have to let them see the actual benefits …
Han Xiao tapped his fingers on the table and thought for a while. Suddenly, an idea came to him.
The moon set and the sun rose. In the Gorst Wilderness in the early morning, dust and sand mixed with fog gave people a humid and uncomfortable feeling. However, the surroundings of the sanctuary were very clean and refreshing. This kind of hazy fog was excluded. The sanctuary was more or less completed. There was a super-large air filter, and the sanctuary paid attention to preventing radiation pollution to ensure air quality.
The players were adding bricks and tiles to the sanctuary. On the steel bars of the protective wall, a group of players were welding. Sparks flew everywhere. This work was dangerous and boring. The players stepped on the steel bars and swayed.
"Be careful, don't fall." Just as one person finished speaking, the person next to him slipped. Everyone's eyes followed his figure silently as he fell. The long "Ah …" sound became longer and longer.
The protective wall was tall and was the most dangerous of all the construction missions. From time to time, players would fall and die accidentally.
"I told you to be careful."
On another steel bar, a player with the ID Half A Cigarette When Lonely said indignantly, "D * mn it, the safe and easy construction missions with rich rewards are all taken by the big guilds. Normal players like us can only do the less cost-effective missions."
Where there were people, there was competition. There were many types of construction missions in the sanctuary. The easy and rewarding missions were all taken by the guilds. Most solo players could only get the remaining missions. Most players were just doing it for fun and did not care. However, there were some players who were serious.
Half A Cigarette When Lonely was still indignant and kept talking. "… Those big guilds took all the resources. They are rich and overbearing. We lost at the beginning. How are we going to fight in the future?"
Someone beside him laughed. "It's just a game. Don't be so serious."
"Playing a game is to be the best. Otherwise, what's the point of playing?" Half A Cigarette When Lonely retorted and said disdainfully, "That's why you are all salted fish. You don't have any dreams at all."
"If you are so envious of others, why don't you just join a guild?"
"Humph, only the weak are in a group. Solo is the style of the strong."
Half A Cigarette When Lonely had a look of disdain. He would not talk about the painful experience of being rejected when he applied to join a guild.
Everyone looked down from above and suddenly realized that on the square of the sanctuary, players the size of ants had gathered in circles. This was the signature phenomenon of Han Xiao's appearance. The regional channel suddenly had broadcast messages from other players. It seemed that Black Phantom had a new function, which allowed him to summon friends. The people who were building the protective wall hurriedly put down their work and ran down the wall. Some of them even jumped down, died, and respawned in the square to save time.
Half A Cigarette When Lonely ran to the square, there was already a huge crowd. Han Xiao stood in the corner of the square, and behind him was a large truck. Half A Cigarette When Lonely, like the other players, craned his neck and looked over curiously.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Han Xiao coughed a few times and said loudly, "Recently, my warehouse has accumulated a lot of goods that need to be dealt with. They have all been packed. If anyone wants to buy them, they can be sold at a low price."
The players in the square looked at each other.
Packed? What does that mean? They did not understand.
Since they had accumulated a lot of goods, did they still want to buy them?
"I want ten of them," Jade Green Sky said immediately.
With the thought that Black Phantom's products must be the best, he was willing to be the first to try. No matter what the new function was, he would know after trying it out.
"Three thousand aquamarine coins for one box."
"So expensive?" Jade Green Sky was shocked. He forced himself to buy it and spent all the money he had. Although he was the president, he did not just keep the guild's funds with him. These were all his personal assets.
After taking the money, Han Xiao took out ten boxes from the truck. Jade Green Sky opened nine of them, and his face darkened. The boxes were filled with broken parts and cheap mechanical materials. The players around saw this and shook their heads.
"What kind of goods are these? They're more like accumulated trash. These pieces of junk take up space even if they were given to me."
"Only an idiot would buy this kind of thing."
When Jade Green Sky heard this, he turned around and glared fiercely. He opened the last box gloomily without any hope. However, as soon as the box was opened, Jade Green Sky's lazy eyes suddenly froze. He stared blankly at the contents of the box.
A retractable knife lay quietly in the box.
In his field of vision, the name of the saber was in purple!
This was a piece of purple equipment!
Everyone saw his expression and became curious. They stood on their tiptoes and gasped when they saw it clearly.
Cries of surprise spread out like ripples.
Until now, the players had never seen a piece of purple equipment. This was the first one that appeared in front of the players!
Jade Green Sky opened his mouth wide. Looking at the ten boxes in front of him, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity and reacted immediately.
"Wait! This gameplay … isn't it just opening boxes? "
