Chapter 432: Bidding for the Flying Boat
While everyone was talking nonsense, Zheng Qian quickly contacted Lin Mu Ning in private. After a brief discussion, the two decided to borrow Shiba Inu Cai Cai's live broadcast account, started a live broadcast of outdoor photography, and sent out live broadcast invitations in the world channel in the game and major group chats outside the game. They even posted three posts in a row on the forum.
Live outdoor shooting is the most common way for players to share the profits after obtaining drops from the game "Ten Continents".
Compared to other traditional virtual reality games that often have restrictions such as binding qualifications, the item drops and various physical rewards in "Ten Continents" can be said to have almost no restrictions - except that robbery requires paying public morality points and having to return the robbery proceeds after being warned, the drops in the copy can actually be transferred to anyone after being taken out of the copy.
This has led to the emergence of a new way of copy auctioning - live auction.
The wealthy bosses are too lazy to gamble on their luck by playing the dungeon over and over again, so they just wait in some dungeon live broadcast rooms and choose to spend money to solve all their troubles. They can wait for the equipment, special props, appearance, furniture, decorations, materials, elixirs, etc., and they can get what they want. As long as they pay the money, they can get it easily. The working players who play the dungeon are also happy that the wealthy bosses spend far more than the group auction (auction within the team) to buy the dungeon drops, because this allows them to get more wages.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that all groups adopt this live broadcast and outdoor shooting model. Most players who play games normally still prefer group shooting, so that they can get their favorite equipment at a favorable price.
Therefore, in response to various different needs, many players will discuss and mark the rules in advance when they are pulling or joining a group. All live broadcasts and outdoor auctions are marked as [All outdoor auctions], and group auctions are marked as [Group auctions]. In order to prevent the situation where most working players are not satisfied with the group auction prices of some rare drops (such as appearance drops), a long string of jargon similar to [Special group auction 1k no bid outdoor auction] is specially marked, which generally means "drop group auction, special drop starts at 1,000 Lingshi or Taiyin Yuan, if no one can afford it, it will be auctioned outdoor".
However, these in-game rules are not completely absolute. For example, many groups marked as group auctions will temporarily hold an outdoor auction when a very rare piece of equipment is dropped but no one in the group can use it and no one can afford the starting price. Of course, this situation does not necessarily require a live broadcast. A discussion group will be held outside the game to simply auction it. It mainly depends on the value of the items in the outdoor auction. If the items are only worth a hundred or eighty yuan in total, it is not worth holding a special live broadcast.
As for the group that Lin Mu Ning had worked so hard to organize, they had agreed to a group auction in advance - this way everyone could pick up bargains, and even if they didn't need them, if they thought they could make money, they could still bid for them and sell them privately, making a small profit. However, although it was a group auction, no one could resist money - this was a flying boat! No one could imagine how much money they would get if it was auctioned outside! What's more, the starting price of this thing was obviously just as Jia Xiaoren said, more than 10,000 spirit stones! No one in the group could afford it!
Many seemingly untrue but actually very realistic propaganda such as "the largest flying boat in the whole server is launched", "Shocking, well-known Koi player creates golden finger glory again", "The life of the European emperor is easy", etc. are still very useful. Tens of thousands of viewers soon flocked to Shiba Inu Caicai's live broadcast room - obviously, most of them were there to watch the fun.
Soon, comments of envy and jealousy came out one after another. Some people even threw a coin and made a wish for Shiba Inu Cai Cai as if she were a wishing koi. By the time Shiba Inu Cai Cai finally adjusted the picture and sound, the number of people in the live broadcast room had exceeded 100,000, and was still soaring at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Ahaha, thank you all for your support! Well, our team leader asked me to start shooting right away, but I don't have much experience, so I'll just shoot randomly!"
Shiba Inu Caicai scratched her head uncomfortably, then directed the live broadcast to the flying boat.
She wasn’t nervous—the reason why Shiba Inu Caicai had a live broadcast room was because she was known throughout the server as a European emperor, so she often broadcast live while playing games, showing how her pet Jincai helped her dig out valuable spiritual herbs and plants from the wild, which had already been coveted by many players. Sometimes she also broadcast live the scenes of Baicai’s hard training and cultivation. Of course, her live broadcast account certification was actually a "cute pet blogger", which once made many players exclaim that it was outrageous...
In short, Shiba Inu Caicai, who has quite rich experience in live streaming, is not nervous. She is just a little excited about getting rich, and feels helpless because she really doesn’t know how to take pictures of her equipment.
However, even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. Shiba Gou Caicai imitated the way the leaders of the previous dungeons took pictures of their equipment and shouted, and said:
"That's the flying boat! We just opened it from the clearance treasure chest! The starting price is 10,000 spirit stones... or 10,000 gold!"
Then, she explained a little unconfidently: "The Guangcheng Sect next door has a flying boat that costs tens of thousands of spirit stones, which is smaller than this one! This starting price is already a great bargain!"
But before she could finish her explanation, bidding started popping up in the barrage, and in the blink of an eye, it reached 30,000 gold!
Gold refers to Taiyin Yuan, which was originally called "Laoyin Coin" (not) and Zhongzhou Money. However, later on, for convenience, players followed the name of game coins in other games and called it "gold". As a result, this simpler and more convenient single-word name became completely popular.
Thirty thousand gold, converted into RMB, is about more than one million. This krypton gold figure is actually not much if it is placed in the major virtual reality games, but other games mostly refer to the total recharge krypton gold figure, rather than a "mount" with non-numerical attribute bonuses!
In the comments, the onlookers were also very sour about the auction price, and kept making sarcastic remarks:
"There are so many rich people! Can't I be one more?"
"I'm going to fight you rich people!"
"Brother and sister Fu, it's almost Thursday, please WeChat me 50, my kids can't afford to eat..."
"The money that other people spend on a mount in the game is more expensive than my house!"
"You at least have a house, but I don't even have one!"
"Stop talking, I can't hold back my tears. Not only do I not have a house, I also have a mortgage!"
…
Shiba Inu Caicai felt that her eyes were not enough. She tried hard to sift through the bidding prices among the nonsense. After a few minutes, the speed at which the rich people bid finally slowed down, and then they began to increase the bids in small amounts. After about ten minutes, the winner was finally determined.
This flying boat was successfully auctioned for one hundred and five hundred gold by an ID named [Mysterious Strange Woman].
One hundred and five platinums, that is equivalent to more than three million RMB!
