Chapter 12.
She looked around and found that this space seemed to be isolated from other areas of the middle realm. There was nothing outside the so-called market except a gray area.
Tang Yu was attracted by this strange scene for a moment. She saw someone squatting beside her and bargaining with the stall owner.
"This item of yours is only F-rank and its function is useless. Why would you sell it to me for a thousand points?!"
"Brother, this is the market situation now. Props are hard to come by! And this prop can be used over and over again. You've made a lot of money!"
"You think points are easy to earn? How many dungeons do I have to clear to earn a thousand points?"
"If you don't have points, you can exchange them for dungeon strategies. If you have a dungeon strategy above level C, I'll give you this item for free!"
"Bah! You are a profiteer!"
Tang Yu watched the two of them part unhappily, and she couldn't help but ask her companions: "What is the dungeon strategy?"
"That one." Li Jia said as he led her deeper into the cave.
"It's called a strategy, but it's actually just a record of the specific information in the dungeon. Only high-level dungeon strategies have a market for this kind of thing. After all, the mortality rate in high-level dungeons is still very high. If you can know more about the information in it, maybe you can be safer."
Tang Yu didn't understand: "Since the mortality rate of high-level dungeons is high, why are there still people willing to challenge them?"
"You're stupid!" Li Jia looked at her helplessly. "The higher the level of the dungeon, the higher the profit. If you're lucky enough to get a high-level item, you'll make a fortune!"
Tang Yu pondered for a moment and asked again: "But since the high-level dungeons have great benefits, why don't you clear them yourself instead of selling dungeon strategies?"
The number of times you can clear all the copies in the middle area is limited. Once the number of times you have cleared is met, the copy will automatically disappear.
Ning Xuanqing suddenly laughed and said, "This is the problem of the information being sold. Those so-called dungeon strategies at most reveal some information about the dungeon, but they won't tell you exactly where the escape route is. Even if there are people who buy such strategies, the people who sell them won't lose money."
Li Jia nodded and said, "That's right. It's a good deal to earn a lot of points without having to face any danger!"
In the exchange, a D-level copy guide can be sold for 500 points, and multiplayer copies are even more expensive.
As the level of the copy increases, the price will become more expensive, even increasing several times, and the higher the level of the copy guide, the more people will buy it.
Because only high-level dungeons can produce high-level items, but no one can guarantee 100% that they have the ability to survive in a high-level dungeon.
Many people are willing to buy advanced dungeon strategies just to increase their dungeon survival rate a little bit.
Where there is demand, there is a market. Some people specialize in earning points by selling high-level copy guides, and then use the points to redeem props.
Tang Yu followed Ning Xuanqing and the others to the north side of the open space thoughtfully, and she found that there was an electronic screen there as well.
Li Jia pointed at the electronic screen and said, "Look, you can buy daily necessities here, and they are quite cheap."
Tang Yu leaned over to look at the electronic screen and found that there were rows of labels on it, marking various kinds of goods. Just click on it and you can see the price and description.
Just as Li Jia said, the food was very cheap and one could buy a meal that was enough to fill one's stomach with only ten points.
Tang Yu compared all the points he had on hand and said with a smile: "It seems that surviving here is quite easy!"
Li Jia laughed and said, "Who said it wasn't true? If this place wasn't always so gray, I would have wanted to live in the middle area for the rest of my life!"
Ning Xuanqing ignored the two people who were joking around. She saw a new product appear on the screen at some point.
Guild creation qualifications!
"Come and see!" Ning Xuanqing pointed at the merchandise column and called his friends to come and see.
Tang Yu and Li Jia came over and exclaimed in surprise.
“When did this extra thing appear?”
"Guild? What's the use of this?"
Ning Xuanqing pushed the frame of his glasses and thought: "I don't know, this should be a newly developed function in the middle area, which makes it easier for the survivors to keep each other warm."
Although private fighting is prohibited in the middle area, it does not mean that there are no conflicts among the survivors. Many people still remember vividly what the strong group did.
Just as the civilized order is gradually collapsing, guilds come into being. I wonder what kind of changes this will bring?
Tang Yu saw that Ning Xuanqing couldn't figure it out, so she naturally didn't want to think about it anymore. She looked at the price and saw that it only required 100 points, which was quite cheap.
So she asked the two: "Do we need to create a guild?"
Li Jia hesitated and said, "But there are only three of us. Besides, our skills are not attractive. How can we recruit members?"
The three were thinking about it when they suddenly heard a noise coming from the exchange. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people rushing in.
The visitors were very purposeful and they walked straight to a street stall in the corner.
The leader was a tall man with slanted eyes. He came to the stall and glared at the stall owner and asked, "Do you have a C-level item?"
The stall owner was a short, fat middle-aged man. He nodded and said, "Want to buy?"
The man said directly: "I'll give you 5,000 points, and we'll take the props!"
The fat man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he laughed angrily: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying? Either 10,000 points, or the A-level dungeon strategy, or get out of here!"
The tall man narrowed his slanted eyes, emitting a dangerous aura like a snake, "We are from the Baiao Guild, we advise you to be more sensible!"
The fat man scratched his ears with a look of disdain on his face: "What guild mother guild? I've never heard of it. Get out of here!"
"Good! You have guts!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people following the tall man rushed forward. I don’t know what power they used, but the fat man suddenly lost his resistance.
"What are you doing! What are you doing!" The fat man was carried away limply, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.
"Hmph, I'll send you to see the King of Hell!" said the tall man as he was about to lead the people away. Everyone else in the market watched this scene in silence.
You don't have to guess, the fat man will probably end up in a bad way.
Tang Yu and the other two could only watch as the fat man was taken away from the trading space. There was no way they could be a match for that group of people.
Li Jia frowned and said, "Isn't this robbery?"
Ning Xuanqing said solemnly, "They formed guilds to grab resources everywhere in order to strengthen their teams. When these guilds become stronger, they will be able to control more resources. By then, we, the independent players outside the guilds, will have a hard time."
Tang Yu pondered her meaning and asked, "Then should we join the guild?"
But after seeing what happened just now, Tang Yu's attitude towards the guild was not very good. After all, it was inconsistent with what she had learned before.
Li Jia also disliked those so-called guilds that bullied the weak, but she knew that what Ning Xuanqing said made sense, so she just stared at Ning Xuanqing without saying anything.
Ning Xuanqing just pondered for a brief moment, and after seeing the expressions on Tang Yu and Li Jia's faces, he let out a breath.
She said, "Since the day the weirdness came, I have understood one thing: it is a terrible thing to put your fate in the hands of others, so how about we create a guild ourselves and try it out?"
The two of them seemed to have been waiting for this sentence, and nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice.
They spent one hundred points to purchase the qualification to create a guild. As the successful purchase notification sounded, a transparent panel with a high-tech feel appeared in front of the three people.
A line of words appeared on the panel: 'Guild created successfully, what is your guild name?'
What name should they give it? The three of them were in a dilemma.
Li Jia was the first to raise his hand: "Let's call it something more majestic and domineering, let's call it the Hundred Man Group!"
"Strongman Group plus Bai Ao? Aren't you afraid of being sued for copyright infringement?" Ning Xuanqing glanced at her unhappily, "Why not just call it God's Hand?"
Li Jia: "...I didn't expect you to be such a middle school student Ning Xuanqing."
The two had a heated debate for fifteen minutes about what name the guild should be named, but in the end neither of them convinced the other.
Finally, the two of them looked at Tang Yu, who was standing aside and watching the fun, and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Tang Yu scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I won't say anything."
"explain!"
Tang Yu's light grey eyes sparkled. She clenched her fist and waved it, saying, "Why not call him the God of Weird Cuisine?"
Ning Xuanqing: "Emm."
Li Jia: "Okay, okay, let's call him the God of Weird Cooking!"
Tang Yu: “…”
It doesn’t matter, it’s just the same few words anyway, it’s pretty much the same.
Panel: 'Your guild has been created. Please enter the information of the president and members.'
The three of them looked at the panel and fell into deep thought again. Li Jia licked his lips and asked Tang Yu: "Will you be the president?"
After all, she is the boss!
Tang Yu shook his head and refused directly: "I don't want to be the president, I want to be a chef!"
Li Jia: "...these two are not contradictory."
Tang Yu still shook his head: "A person who pursues his dreams must abandon distractions and not be disturbed by external things."
Li Jia was speechless for a while and turned to look at Ning Xuanqing, who shook his head directly: "I am impatient to do these troublesome things."
Li Jia sighed and said, "Okay! I'll take charge!"
He signed his name with a wave of his hand, and it turned out that there was a list of management positions behind the title of president.
In the end, Tang Yu was appointed as the vice president, and Ning Xuanqing took on the important task of the guild's secretary.
The guild was created, and the transparent panel floating in the air gradually shrank to the size of a palm, and finally turned into a solid tablet and fell into the hands of Li Jia, the president.
The three of them studied it curiously and found that all matters related to the guild could be controlled through this panel in the future.
What surprised them even more was that this panel also had a home-building function, which allowed it to carve out a space for arbitrary construction according to the wishes of the guild holder.
This means that every guild has a secret base!
Before the three of them had time to explore more, they heard a jingle sound and three small badges fell to the ground.
Li Jia picked it up and took a look. The badge was very delicate, with a simple phoenix pattern in the middle, a circle of flame patterns outside the phoenix, and a circle of small words outside the patterns. It was the name of their guild!
"Why is this a bird? Is any of us born in the year of the rooster?" Li Jia was puzzled by the stick figure in the middle of the badge.
Tang Yu and Ning Xuanqing shook their heads, and each of them took a badge and studied it for a while.
Ning Xuanqing turned the badge and recognized the patterns on it. He thought, "This is a phoenix. In ancient mythology, there is a saying that the phoenix is reborn from the ashes. It represents rebirth and sublimation. It is quite appropriate."
Li Jia didn't quite understand what he said, so he put the badge on his chest and said, "It sounds auspicious!"
