God's imitator

Chapter 351 Increased Profit Sharing
After carefully reading the rules, Chen Guangming decisively exchanged 1500 chips and then forged the 'Training Card' twice.

The first time it was rated B, and the second time it was rated A.

While this result is not bad for a beginner, it's still a complete waste of 300 minutes of visa processing time.

Because when the same training card is forged multiple times, an additional 500 chips are required each time.

Chen Guangming seemed to have discovered something. He decisively exchanged 1 points for chips and asked others to do the same.

After that, the four players started hammering away in the "Equipment Forging" room.

……

After trying it two or three times, Xu Zhao also discovered the trick.

Clearly, there are also ways to obtain stable income in the "Equipment Forging" room, but they are hidden in a different way than in other rooms.

The order in which the fragments fall is different each time you forge a weapon, so most players subconsciously view this game as a pure test of reflexes.

But in reality, these fragments fall according to a certain pattern.

Roughly every 5 to 10 fragments will form a specific structure. Once you are familiar with all the structures, you can make a rough prediction.

It's difficult for average players to quickly discover this pattern because most players probably don't observe with a specific purpose in mind, and are preoccupied with how to hit the fragments at the right time, treating it as a game entirely based on reaction and hand speed.

But for players like Chen Guangming, this pattern is not difficult to discover.

Clearly, this is probably a backdoor left by the copycat who designed this game room for himself.

It's highly likely that the copycat didn't actually come to this game lobby.

Next, Chen Guangming, Xu Zhao, and others need to familiarize themselves with the fixed pattern as much as possible and strive to achieve an A rating or even an S rating as soon as possible in order to quickly generate profits.

Even if you observe this pattern, you still need to practice to develop muscle memory, which takes time.

While practicing diligently, Xu Zhao thought of a new problem.

"But... what's the difference between this kind of stable income and the stable income model of 'Simple Poker'?"

"Why was Chen Guangming not interested in those two rooms, but so optimistic about the 'Equipment Forging' room? He even exchanged 1 points in one go."

……

Soon, another half hour passed.

The game is about to distribute dividends for the third time.

Xu Zhao looked at his earnings from the past half hour and felt quite satisfied.

After a period of practice, he was able to consistently achieve an S rating in about half of the games, and in other games he could consistently achieve an A rating.

A 30-minute game is roughly enough to complete 10 matches.

According to the game rules, you can get one "practice card" for every 1000 chips you exchange. Xu Zhao and Chen Guangming exchanged 1 chips in one go, so they got an extra 10 practice cards.

These cards don't have any special functions, but they can be used to start the game.

The first time you start the game, it costs 500 chips, and the second time you start, it costs 1000 chips.

Therefore, if you only forge once, you can save 500 chips.

During the practice, Xu Zhao's success rate gradually improved. After combining the gains from S and A ratings, Xu Zhao netted approximately 7000 points.

Including the chips I exchanged earlier, I now have approximately 17000 chips in the current room.

The four of them arrived at the room door immediately to distribute the profits.

Eight of the twelve players were still earning money in "High or Low" and "Simple Poker," four players were playing "Minesweeper," and two players were playing "Auction Tycoon," so not many players had yet discovered the stable way to earn money through "Equipment Forging."

Now is the most cost-effective time to exchange for dividends. However, Chen Guangming still reminded him: "Don't exchange too much; leave yourself enough chips to play the game."

"There will be plenty of opportunities to earn extra time for visa applications in the future."

Xu Zhao nodded. They could all see that Chen Guangming was very optimistic about the long-term value of the chips in this room, so they were not surprised by such a request.

The current room's bonus amount is: 98000 minutes of visa time.

The current chip exchange rate in this room is: Chips: Visa Time = 100:100

Upon seeing this number, Xu Zhao was taken aback: "Huh? So much?"

Xu Zhao was somewhat surprised. He had actually guessed that the dividends this time would be relatively large, since not many people had played in the "Equipment Forging" room before, and most of the guaranteed dividends from the 3 minutes of visa time were still there.

And since they've been playing for so long, they must have activated a significant amount of credit.

Even so, the number was still much higher than he had expected; in fact, the four of them even had some left over after exchanging all their chips.

Not only that, but there was also a noticeable commotion among the players at the entrances of other rooms, with many appearing quite excited.

Xu Zhao looked at the reactions of the other players and realized that this should be a common phenomenon.

"So... after entering the second hour, the maximum room bonus that players unlock through game attempts has increased?"

"Has the soft cap been removed? Or has the payout for each game upgrade increased?"
"Anyway, this is good news."

Although the current exchange rate for room chips is quite attractive, Xu Zhao and the others followed Chen Guangming's instructions and only exchanged a portion of the chips.

They left behind approximately 5000 chips to continue generating more in the game.

After the previous stage of practice, their proficiency has improved significantly. The more games they play that achieve an S rating, the greater their rewards will be.

Players in other rooms also became noticeably more active. It was clear that many players had already obtained the Immortality Card at the chip exchange station, and many others went to the auction terminal to check the current price of the Immortality Card.

Regardless, the atmosphere in the hall changed dramatically after the dividends for each room were significantly increased.

……

Meanwhile, He Xiaojun, full of anticipation, successfully received his share of the profits at the door of the "Auction Tycoon's" room.

The current room's bonus amount is: 73000 minutes of visa time.

The current chip exchange rate in this room is: Chips: Visa Time = 100:100

Upon seeing the exchange rate for the chips, He Xiaojun's spirits lifted.

He counted his chips, which totaled 18900. With the dividends in each room further increased, the profits in this room suddenly became quite considerable.

After leaving 3000 chips to continue purchasing auction items, I exchanged all the remaining chips for visa extensions.

Including the original nearly 5000 minutes of visa processing time, He Xiaojun gained exactly 2 minutes of visa processing time.

Two cards popped out with a "snap" from below the chip exchange table.

He Xiaojun quickly took the two cards in his hands, and felt much more at ease as he touched the thick back of the cards.

However, after glancing at the front of the card, He Xiaojun felt a chill run down his spine.

Because both cards belong to the same part: the helmet.

"...My luck is just too bad!"

　I apologize that this writing took much longer than expected. My brain is a bit overloaded right now, and it may take another three or four days to finish. After that, I will make some minor revisions. I apologize again.
