My Player 2

Chapter 51 The Prototype of an Auction House
There aren't many players left in the city, but they are all troublesome guys.

For example, the magical girl "Kuri Yuan".

In addition to cleaning up the dream space of Iron Wall City on a regular basis every day, she spends the rest of her time contacting various dealers and exploring sales channels for monster materials.

Many players are doing this.

At the beginning, the Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce wanted to monopolize the players' output, but Li Li only promised them the right to operate the new base.

This allows players to take advantage of the loophole.

They lured other chambers of commerce over and had these large chambers of commerce arrange strong men to stand at the monster spawning points outside the stronghold and forcefully open their stores despite the harassment from the monsters.

As a result, with the competition among several major chambers of commerce, the players made a lot of money.

But the good times did not last long. Within a few days, the major chambers of commerce had reached a preliminary consensus.

They will still rush to receive the goods, but the prices they offer are unusually uniform.

These large chambers of commerce are joining forces to compete for the pricing power of monster output.

If they succeed in the end, the benefits will surely be far beyond imagination.

Take the [Heart of the Centaur] for example, which can increase the lifespan of ordinary people by 10 years.

Monsters of this level would be cheap if sold for hundreds of millions of Alliance coins.

But players can still take out ten or twenty to sell every day.

Moreover, some players revealed that the main distribution area of ​​the [Centaur] race is not in the Fertile Continent. If he could go to the wasteland of the Dragon Spine Continent, he could easily get tens of thousands of [Centaur Hearts] in a day.

This was originally just a casual chat between "players", but the "NPC" who opened a shop next to it was not deaf.

After knowing that the supply of [Heart of the Centaur] was so sufficient, the Chamber of Commerce was no longer willing to pay a high price for it.

Naturally, with this incident as the fuse, an all-out confrontation began between the Chamber of Commerce and the players.

Li Li has no plans to intervene in the conflict between the two parties for the time being.

He is an outsider in economics and it is not easy for him to openly favor either side.

The most important thing is that many players enjoy this "way of playing".

A bunch of Blue Star people who didn't get the chance to try out the game have nothing to do all day long, but instead give advice to other players in the forum, and the related posts can be pushed to the top of thousands of posts.

From the players' perspective, just a casual chat between them led to the Chamber of Commerce's comprehensive suppression of the players.

This is so fucking interesting!

Now, in order to compete with large chambers of commerce for pricing power, players are using all kinds of methods.

The lower-end ones would collect materials in the base, then walk for an hour to carry the materials back to the city to sell.

However, even if they return to the city, except for those extremely popular items, all other dropped items still have to be sold to the Guild of Commerce.

The mid-range ones are players like Li Yuan, who used to be full-time businessmen.

She is contacting various distributors to expand her channels, intending to take a piece of the pie from major chambers of commerce in the future.

The most high-end one is "Golden Wind", a guy who was able to start a business with games and became rich enough to pay salaries to players.

He found Li Li not long ago and said that he had contacted the magic master and planned to apply to use the portal over there to set up a remote "auction house" after the portal was established in the new base.

At that time, players only need to go to the "Auction House" and put up the items they want to sell, and they can also buy the items they want from the auction house.

If the idea of ​​the "auction house" can be successful, the price of the items will naturally be determined by the market. This is not a new thing. Like World of Warcraft, FF14, DNF... basically all equipment-driven games have this.

But what is different about "Glory Expedition OL" is that this auction house is set up by the players themselves, and most of the things listed in the auction house are bought by NPCs.

So Li Li readily agreed to the proposal of "Golden Wind" to rent the portal.

Li Li could foresee that when the number of players increased in the future, in strongholds without portals, players would still rely mainly on the "stores" of major guilds for supplies, while places with portals should be the world of "auction houses".

Thinking of this, Li Li actually felt a little ashamed.

This incompetent creator god seemed to be only responsible for summoning and reviving players.

However, the players created an "auction house", "advanced channels" for him, and even found a new "saint" for him.

But these are just Li Li's self-mockery, he still has a lot of things to consider.

Take what happened recently for example, several players have discovered the "new way to play" in this world.

That is the QQ Space.

For this behavior that is not suitable for children, as long as it did not violate the wishes of the space owner, Li Li only symbolically deducted 4 points of [Sin Value].

In other words, a player can be deducted 25 times by default, and if they do good things and get the deducted points back, they can be deducted more.

The reason for doing this is that Li Li is testing Blue Star's attitude.

——The scale of my game is so large, but you haven't made any comments yet. Does it mean that you have already known that this is not just a game?
As for the results of the test, Li Li can be sure that both the official and the expedition company that operates "Desperate Expedition OL" know that his "game" is not just a "game".

Just last night, the Expedition Company held a press conference to fully introduce "Glory Expedition OL", a game that is completely run autonomously by "AI".

Someone posted the footage of the "game" at the press conference to Li Li's forum, and said that all the content in the press conference was captured from the players' live broadcast rooms, openly questioning whether this game might be "real."

But... there is no evidence?
Li Li's world has only been around for more than 2000 years. Because it was based on the "Creator Simulator", this world already had a bunch of forces and races at the beginning, and the default language was still Chinese.

Whether you are a goblin or an angel, the whole world is speaking Chinese.

In other words, although this world is real, it is created based on fakes.

You can find a hundred reasons to prove that this is true, and at the same time, you can find even more reasons to refute it.

At least at the beginning, Li Li wanted players to believe that this was the real world.

Because of this, after completing the two-way selection, you can really save a lot of trouble.

Making players mistakenly believe that this is a game may bring many benefits in the short term, but there will be no side effects.

One of the most vexing problems for Li Li right now is how to restrain the increasingly unrestrained players.

Is the restraint of [Sin Value] alone enough?

Li Li was unsure.

You should know that these 66 players now are basically die-hard fans of "Desperate Expedition OL".

Those who can spend millions on a game or become famous masters in the PVP rankings are definitely "rare creatures" compared to ordinary players.

There may be many "rare creatures" like this.

If the next batch of 1000 players summoned by Li Li are properly screened, most of them should also be "rare creatures".

But can these "rare creatures" alone really purify the entire world?
