Civilization Paradise

Chapter 38 Monetization
"agree."

Long Ming was overjoyed when he saw that there was a chance, and then confirmed it.

At this moment, a chat box pops up.

"Brother, I see that unopened gene box you're hanging up is pretty good. Where did it come from?"

After seeing the message, Long Ming narrowed his eyes and replied.

"A military base."

"What kind of military base is it? What's its name?"

"I don't know its name, I only know it's a military base."

"You must know which world it came from, right?"

In a corner of Star City, a man with a scar on his chin and calloused hands looked at the chat box, asking questions with a mixture of excitement and caution.

"I do know that, but why should I tell you?"

A message popped up very quickly.

Old Ghost's eyes narrowed as he looked at the pop-up message. He knew he had met an expert, so he continued to press for answers.

"If you don't tell me, I can't buy it."

"Take it or leave it. This is an unopened box. I'm listing it at such a low price, there are plenty of buyers willing to buy it."

"Don't be like this, let's talk this out. Can you just give me a little bit of information?"

"Want the information? Double the price, and I'll tell you which world it comes from."

"Isn't this too expensive?"

"It's not expensive. You should understand that this is a trade secret."

After replying to the message, Long Ming calmed down and waited quietly.

Anyway, he might not be able to enter the Anfa world again, so if this guy is willing to pay double, it's not impossible.

"can it be cheaper?"

Old Ghost asked tentatively, not wanting to be taken advantage of.

"No need to talk!"

Long Ming ended the temporary chat abruptly and then waited anxiously.

If the other party doesn't take the bait, then we'll be at a disadvantage and will definitely suffer a heavy blow.

At this moment, Old Ghost was furious as he looked at the ended chat box. However, when he looked at the unopened gene box, a greedy expression appeared on his face, just like a gambler.

In the end, even though he knew the box was most likely defective, he still tapped the bracelet a few times and bought the unopened gene box.

On the other side, Longming's bracelet vibrated.

"Notice: Your unopened gene box has been sold, and you have received 1500 million One-Dimensional Coins."

Long Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party had still bought the ticket, and a smile appeared on his face. Sure enough, there is no shortage of gamblers in this world. They know there is a trap, but they still jump in.

The bracelet vibrated again, and a notification message popped up.

"Notification: The insect healing potion you consigned has been sold, and you have received 60 One-Dimensional Coins."

Long Ming looked at the listing and waited with a happy heart.

However, he didn't sit idle; instead, he took out the military combat manual from his backpack.

To be honest, Long Ming still had doubts about this manual. Surely a game can't really teach people dangerous fighting techniques?

Thinking of this, Long Ming opened the manual and began to study it carefully.

Two hours later, Long Ming's brows were almost furrowed. When he was studying at the First Senior Academy of Shancheng Mountain, he also received professional military training, including several months of learning military combat techniques.

The military combat techniques in this book are not quite the same as what he learned.

But that's just a difference in style and technique; judging from the moves, they look very much like the real thing.

Long Ming's expression changed several times, and then he tried to demonstrate the neck-twisting technique on his own neck.

He was immediately surprised; these techniques seemed to work.

This game is insane; it actually teaches real-world killing techniques.

Looks like I've struck gold. Don't let the white color of this military combat manual fool you; its true value lies in its ability to genuinely enhance your skills.

Thinking of this, Long Ming put the manual into the warehouse.

He has already memorized the contents of the manual; he just needs to practice regularly.

Long Ming then looked down at the information that popped up on his bracelet. Almost all the items on consignment had been sold, with only a Baka rifle and the Old Moon necklace remaining unsold.

He checked the market price of rifles and found that it had dropped. He figured he must have listed too many at once, and at a relatively low price.

Thinking of this, Long Ming immediately lowered the price from 32 to 30.

Within seconds, the last Baka rifle was sold, bringing in a total of 218 million One Dimensional Coins.

Long Ming then looked at the Old Moon Necklace, which still hadn't sold. Sure enough, only equipment and potions sold well; few players were interested in other items. Of course, this didn't mean the Old Moon Necklace had no value; it was just not currently in circulation. Perhaps it would sell in the future.

However, Long Ming didn't have time to wait any longer, so he canceled the consignment and bought back the necklace for 200W.

Long Ming checked his bracelet and saw that he had a total of 19180600 One-Dimensional Coins in his account. The mall had not charged any handling fees.

This is a huge sum of money for Long Ming. The next thing he needs to do is to exchange the game currency for mountain currency.

The reason why Longming is so eager to cash out is simple: due to supply and demand, the quantity of items produced at the beginning of a new game server is scarce, and many wealthy players are willing to pay for them, so their value is relatively high.

However, as time goes on and production increases, wealthy players will naturally stop being taken advantage of, and the items and currency produced in the game will become less and less valuable, except for some special items whose prices will rebound.

Of course, these rules only apply to games that have just launched.

As for this Civilization Paradise, although it is quite special, the initial market trends will not deviate too much.

Although this will result in a direct loss of 20%, the devaluation of game currency will effectively make it back.

Long Ming looked around and quickly found the blond-haired kid he had consulted before. He walked over to him again and asked in a low voice.

"Hey kid, how much do you sell game currency for now?"

When Huang Mao heard someone call him "kid," he subconsciously looked up. When he saw Long Ming, he immediately perked up.

"Wow, you're an expert! The current exchange rate is 110 One-Dimensional Coins for 1 Mountain Coin."

"Can the recycling rate be higher for larger quantities?"

Long Ming tried to answer the question.

"Of course I can, but how many do you have?"

The blond-haired man looked at Long Ming excitedly.

1650W.

Long Ming decided to sell some of his game currency to raise real money and alleviate the pressure of real life, while holding onto the rest for the time being.

Upon hearing Long Ming's words, Huang Mao immediately broke into a bright smile.

"Brother, let me introduce myself. My name is Abby. 1650 million One-Dimensional Coins is equivalent to 15 Mountain Coins now. How about I give you 16?"

"can!"

Longming was very satisfied with the price.

"But brother, online transactions are too inconvenient, and Shancheng Mountain will take a 20% transaction tax. How about we do an offline transaction, and I'll pay you cash in person?"

Abby chuckled and suggested an offline transaction.

In fact, the reason why Abby proposed an offline transaction was twofold: firstly, he was prepared to pay Long Ming with illicit funds, and secondly, he wanted to find out who Long Ming was.

"No, I only accept online transactions."

Upon hearing this, Long Ming immediately became alert, as offline transactions were extremely risky for him.

"Brother, listen to me, all you need to do is give me an address, and I'll come find you."

"Need not!"

“Then I can only buy it for 15 Mountain Coins, and you will only get 12 Mountain Coins. That’s a difference of 4 Mountain Coins. You should think it over carefully.”

Abi tried her best to persuade Long Ming.

"150,000 it is, let's do the transaction online."

Although Long Ming was also heartbroken at losing 4, he didn't want to be targeted. He knew that in reality, he was no different from a grasshopper.

"Brother, won't you reconsider?"

"If you're willing to trade, then trade; if not, forget it, I'll find someone else."

"Okay, online transaction."

Abby had no choice but to raise her hand and send a trade request to Long Ming.

Longming's bracelet popped up a notification.

"Notification: Player Abi has initiated a transaction of 1650 million One-Dimensional Coins with you. The other party will pay 15 Mountain Coins. After deducting the Mountain City Mountain transaction tax of 20%, you will actually receive 12 Mountain Coins. Do you accept?"

"Yes!"

Long Ming tapped the screen and then entered the card number in the pop-up window.

The deal was finalized.

Abi smiled and looked at Long Ming.

"Hey bro, you're a pro gamer, right? Want to add me as a friend?"

"No."

Long Ming refused outright.
