"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen."
Secretary Wen called out softly. Chen Xu opened his eyes and heard the broadcast announcing that the plane had successfully landed. He looked a little strange.
Secretary Wen asked, "Mr. Chen?"
"It's okay, let's go." Chen Xu stood up. When he was leaving the cabin, the flight attendant smiled brightly at him, but he didn't notice it at all. His attention was all on the interface of the dream device.
It shows that the network is still connected.
Is it because the latitude here is higher?
He was a little confused.
However, this is undoubtedly a good thing. If you can only connect to the Internet at high altitudes, it would be too inconvenient. If you want to earn credit points, you have to take a special flight.
When the two of them left the airport, a special car came to pick them up.
He came to Beijing this time at the invitation of several major battery manufacturers to discuss the standards of new lithium metal batteries. Cai Weiye was also invited, but he came here two days ago.
In such meetings, Chen Xu was just going through the motions, but he had to come in order to maintain his presence.
The meeting will not start until tomorrow. Originally, he planned to stroll around the capital, visit places like Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall. When in Beijing, how could he not visit these places?
However, now he no longer had such thoughts. After returning to the hotel, he asked Secretary Wen to take a rest, and stayed in the room alone to study the dream device connected to the Internet.
This dream device is not just a game console, it also integrates the functions of a network terminal, just like a mobile phone, it can make calls, take photos, play games, browse the web, shop, and watch videos. It can do everything.
This time, as soon as Chen Xu entered the interface, a prompt popped up, "Dear player, after positioning, your location is extremely remote. Our company provides you with free network coverage. According to the pricing standard, your network fee for a natural month is 30,000 credit points. Please pay the network fee as soon as possible. If you fail to pay for more than one month, you will be included in the list of dishonest people."
When Chen Xu saw this number, he blurted out, "Swindler."
Thirty thousand credit points.
He has two talents, but he spent several months in the game to earn 500 credit points. At this efficiency, if he wants to earn 30,000 credit points, he has to spend several hours in the game every day.
Moreover, Mu Shang had told him that the purchasing power of credit points was extremely strong. He saved for three years to get together 10,000 pocket money to buy a virtual dream device.
In other words, his monthly internet fee is equivalent to the cost of three devices.
This is blatant price discrimination.
No matter how much he scolds, it is impossible to ask him to cancel his internet package.
When an opportunity to access an alien network is presented to him, he will not let it go no matter how difficult it is.
“This is a shopping mall.”
What Chen Xu cares most about is whether he can learn about alien high-tech products through the equipment.
He searched and saw a civilian 3D printer that only cost 100,000 credits. His eyes lit up. At this price, he should be able to get one if he worked hard for a year or so.
With a 3D printer, it is very convenient to make anything. Why do we need to upgrade the entire industrial system bit by bit? Then, he looked at the shipping fee, and saw countless zeros behind it. He thought he was dazzled. He clicked it and saw tens, hundreds, millions, tens of millions... 10 billion?
A product worth 100,000 credit points costs 10 billion in shipping fee?
Is this fair?
At this time, he saw a price description next to it. He clicked it and found that there were no routes to the area due to its remote location. The fee included all the costs of opening a new route.
Damn capitalists, don't you have a guilty conscience? Even in the most remote places, at least build a post office.
Chen Xu couldn't help but complain, and he had completely given up the idea of buying a 3D printer.
Ten billion is something he will never be able to earn in his lifetime.
Then, he went to the forum again, mainly to read some popular science posts. After searching, he almost couldn't help cursing again. Most of the posts were charged, ranging from as little as one credit point to as much as a few or even more than a dozen.
The only few free posts are system announcements.
This crappy game needs to be played as soon as possible, everything costs money. There is no Internet sharing spirit at all.
There is no doubt that alien civilization is a purely commercial society.
Thinking about it this way, he was lucky to meet an enthusiastic pastoral merchant who taught him a lot of scientific knowledge.
In the few months he spent in the game, Mu Shang had taught him a lot of common sense about the game. He was finally not as clueless as before, but he just couldn't quite understand many details.
As the saying goes, you have to spend the money you need to spend. The more you know about the game, the better you can make money.
Chen Xu picked a few of the posts that appeared, all of which he wanted to know as soon as possible and had a lot of positive reviews. He clicked to buy, spending a total of nearly fifty credit points, and one-tenth of them were gone in an instant.
However, these posts are indeed full of useful information. For example, one of them introduced the various talents in the game and even listed the advantages and disadvantages. It opened his eyes.
Among them, there are two talents: accurate throwing and sense of crisis. The shortcomings listed above made him feel terrified. No wonder Mu Shang told him not to tell others about his talents casually, otherwise he would be easily targeted.
Here, it introduces how to target the weaknesses of various talents.
Every talent has its own limitations and it is impossible to be invincible.
Of course, the guy with five talents like the one he met before is not included in this list.
There is another post that teaches novices how to make money. It is also the most expensive post, costing a full twenty credit points.
Fortunately, this post made him feel that it was worth the money. If you want to earn credit points in the game, you can do more than just sell gold coins and equipment, which does not require any technical skills.
You can collect all kinds of information in the game, such as dungeons, special missions, etc., and sell them for money. You can also post technical posts in the forum like the poster. You can even work as a thug for the rich and get paid, or even serve as a sparring partner...
Finally, the poster said that there is another way to make money, which is to develop games by yourself. As long as it becomes popular, other players can spend money in it and you can get a share of the consumption, which means you can really just sit back and collect money.
However, this method requires a large investment and is also risky. There are countless people making games every year, but I'm afraid that only one in ten thousand can actually make money.
At the bottom are the details of creating the game, as well as various strategies, which can be considered free.
He glanced twice and suddenly his eyes fixed on one of the items, unable to move his gaze away.
PS: I'll write a chapter before I get on the train. It's so hard to buy a high-speed rail ticket. I finally managed to grab one.
