This Game Is Too Realistic

Herds of cattle and horses.

Today is more lively than usual.

Although many players in this group made reservations early, in fact, less than one-fifth of them actually entered the game. Most people just made a reservation and watched the fun.

"Hahaha! I just saw a fool hanging 5 silver coins for 1 yuan, and it was gone in an instant."

"Gan! I didn't pick it up!"

"Awesome! I saw a big guy put up a price of 800 silver coins just now! The deal was done for 40,000 yuan!"

"Fuck!"

" @Dog management, is it you who did it!"

Mengxin definitely can't afford so much money.

Although they have never entered the game, they often watch the dog managers bragging, so they are relatively familiar with the situation in the game.

No one came out to claim the deal.

The chat was quickly deleted. .

But while we were chatting, management still showed up.

Ye Shi: "Brothers."

Quit smoking: “What’s wrong?”

Ye Shi: "I want to play professionally."

Quit smoking: "?"

Lao Bai: "..."

Kuangfeng: "..."

Fang Chang: "Slanted eyes."

Ye Shi: "Damn it! What's your reaction? After all, I am also... the highest-level perception system in the server. Is it weird to play a profession?"

Fang Chang: "No, I just want to ask which 'amateur player' is online for an average of twelve hours a day. (Squints)"

Quit smoking: "Hahaha, I also want to complain, this is not a career, so what is a career?"

There are really mosquitoes in WC: "Very good! Very energetic! Come fly with me, it will be great! (Baring teeth)"

Ye Shi: "Go, go, go!"

④ Who knows? "Hey, I'm so excited when you see this... earning one hundred silver coins a day, doesn't that mean you can earn five thousand a day? Gan! I should have filled out the form with you in the first place!"

Tomato Scrambled Eggs: "The price fluctuation is really a bit outrageous. Do you think someone will use this thing to launder money?"

Fang Chang: "e...I don't know how to use the keyboard to launder money, but in reality money laundering needs to meet three conditions at the same time. It is difficult to track, the trading volume is large enough, and the market maker has a high degree of control. These three conditions are not met."

The platform itself does not provide payment tools. Money laundering is not about converting US dollars into Zimbabwean dollars, but turning illegal income into legal income. The anonymity of "Wasteland OL" is anonymity for players. A uses the bank system and B to transfer money to purchase game equipment. This is a hammer for banks.

Not to mention the trading volume. The total trading volume of less than a few million silver coins changes hands at nearly 200%. Not to mention how much can be laundered. Even if the facts are put aside, what fool would use someone else's plate to launder money?

Before the Fed releases water, it needs to take a look. The operator's "smashing" is not just a matter of adjusting the data with a finger, giving you 100 million silver coins, then locking the account with "abnormal transactions", and holding the numbers yourself. Go play single player.

Washing and washing, I actually washed the dishes.

Using game equipment to launder money is more magical than using US stocks to launder money. At least the transaction volume is large enough, and overseas investment income can really be made legal through certain operations.

Game currency is a medium of transaction in the game, but outside the game it is "game equipment". The issuance of this thing is adjustable in the hands of the operator. Today you exchange one million US dollars for one million Silver coins or a piece of gaming equipment may be worth only a hundred dollars tomorrow.

Unless the operator cooperates with you.

But use your brain cells to think about it. They are guarding a gold mine with over a million reservations for Series B. Why should they cooperate with your business of washing dishes?

Obviously, the helmet can be delivered to players, and the official website can be accessed normally until now. Even if it does not receive written permission from the official organization, it has at least a certain degree of tacit approval.

But Brother Scrambled Egg is a chef after all, so it is normal for his thinking to be narrow. Most people only know how to write the word "money laundering". Who would really understand the specific operation process of this thing.

Fang Chang: "This time Beta 0.2 is actually very interesting. The official did not directly set a price for silver coins, but allowed players to consign them freely. Even the handling fees were charged in silver coins. It is obvious that the operator of "Wasteland OL" has no I plan to use this platform to make money. Many of you must have taken advantage of it, but I don’t know if you have ever thought about the official motivation for doing this.”

Ye Wei, who was holding the phone, blushed.

To be honest, he really hasn't thought about these things.

"What is..."

Fang Chang: "The original intention of the Nasdaq exchange was to standardize the chaotic over-the-counter trading market in the United States and provide financing channels for small businesses. Offline trading of silver coins has always existed, but the scale is small and no one has made it public, etc. When the number of players increases, someone will definitely build a trading platform like IGXE outside the forum. Now it is equivalent to the official building this platform themselves. It is safer for players, the price is more transparent, and it is conducive to supervision by the official."

"In addition to regulating the market, it also allows Series A players to monetize part of their game revenue. Although it sounds strange, it is indeed the game company giving us red envelopes."

And the amount of red envelope is not small.

As long as there was nothing wrong with my own mind and I hung up 100 silver coins and 1 dime, everyone made a little profit when the trading platform was first launched.

Especially that crow.

A silver coin was exchanged for a Bitcoin, and I don’t know which idiot took advantage of it.

Everyone took the initiative to return it, but no one came out to claim it.

It can only be said that it is charity.

There are really mosquitoes in WC: "Do you think there will be fools who sell their equipment for silver coins? (Funny)"

Fang Chang: "Idiots exist at all times, but there is a common sense here. Whether you sell your equipment or adopt more conservative behaviors in the game, you will fall down from the original echelon."

"Let's make a prediction. There will be two trends in the future. One is that in-game assets will be more transparent. Cloud players will pay more attention to the land prices, equipment prices, and economic trends of the new alliance. They will even write based on the clues we provide. Strategies, and indirect investment in in-game industries through other players holding game assets on their behalf.”

Not everyone in the Age of Discovery actually went to the colonies, and most people may have only read a few lines in newspapers, but this does not prevent a London physics professor and director of the mint from holding shares of the colonial company. stock.

The silver coin trading platform is set for any form of asset.

In addition to real-life assets, of course, it also supports trading of in-game assets. At the same time, the way to invest in the game world is not just silver coins, but also other things.

Such as technology.

Although black technology abounds in the game, and a battery removed from the exoskeleton contains solid hydrogen, the most basic railway and communication facilities are still at World War II level.

"Wasteland OL", which is still in the Series B stage, still has unlimited potential, and these are potential markets.

Fang Chang: "The second trend is that it will be more difficult to maintain the level advantage than the Alpha version. Casual players can play whatever they want, but those who are willing will invest more silver coins in improving level and combat power. It’s worth it, especially the latest Xingshang system and Corps system! These two systems will cost a lot of money, but the rewards will also be huge!”

"The round B test will become a reshuffle. Players in round A will cash out part of the income based on their efforts in round A. In the same way, when players in round B see the income of players in round A, they will pay more attention before the dividends in round C." Work hard to upgrade.”

"To sum up, if you have idle silver coins, you can sell them to give new people some opportunities and game experience, and at the same time improve their lives."

"But remember not to sell too much. After all, silver coins are one of your 'shares' in this game in addition to contribution points and serial levels. Excessive overdraft will lead to being eliminated in round B, and your position will be replaced by new shareholders. The dividends from Series C are none of your business."

"In addition, be careful when trading. Although there are many game equipment trading platforms, there is no law that stipulates that reselling game equipment is illegal, and no one will care about you for small-amount private transfers. But if the amount is too large, it is best to consider the payment method. .”

"And don't forget to pay your taxes."

Fang Chang said a lot of things sincerely, and Ye Wei always felt that half of them were meant for him, especially the last sentence.

But he felt that this old man was a little too concerned.

He is not stupid, how could he exchange all the silver coins he has on him for money.

Even farmers know to save seeds for spring plowing, not to mention he has been playing the game for so many years. His understanding of equipment trading rules and real-life cases is much higher than that of some novices who just do random analysis without knowing anything.

Just when Ye Wei took out the banknotes and calculated how many silver coins would be suitable for consignment, he suddenly noticed that someone in the small group had liked him.

There were only four people in the small group. They had just distributed a lot of square lengths to the large group, and they came here to collect them all.

Just as Ye Wei was about to ask what he was doing, Fang Chang's message in the group chat immediately made him hold his breath involuntarily.

Fang Chang: "Lao Bai and I discussed it. Niu Ma Brick Factory has been operating for half a year now and has received bonuses. We have never distributed any dividends. Taking advantage of the launch of this trading platform, we can just share it."

Dividends!

Ye Wei almost forgot about it.

Lao Bai is the director of Niuma Brick Factory, but the four people hold shares equally, each holding 5% of the shares, which adds up to 20%.

Since the shelter holds 80% of the shares, dividends are actually a big loss. If they use the earned silver coins to buy equipment and land, they can hire more labor to expand production, and they can make the cake bigger and bigger. , so from the early version of the A-round test until now, silver coins have never been distributed.

Thinking of the rewards given by the exclusive tasks completed in the brick factory, Ye Wei was instantly excited.

Fang Chang: "...The silver coins should be available within two hours. Although I am optimistic about the long-term value of "Wasteland OL" and the value of Second Life cannot be measured by worldly money, the price of silver coins will definitely fluctuate in the short term. Fall back.”

"There are many people in the group, so I didn't speak too directly. Posting the screenshots on the forum will have a negative impact, so I'll just say a few words here."

"Set aside funds for the development of the Burning Legion."

"Throw the rest."

…

\u0026aThe day after version 0.2 went online.

After a busy day during the day, Zhang Hai found that everything in the game had changed as soon as he put on his helmet and lay down at night.

Originally, everyone came to him to eat noodles as soon as they went online, but today they all went to buy the Didiwe nutritional ointment and the green wheat cake made by the residents of Beit Street.

There was a long queue at the entrance of the NPC shop, and the head and tail of the queue were both invisible.

He knew the reason as soon as he guessed it. Looking at the steaming cauldron and the empty tables and chairs, Zhang Hai couldn't help but sigh.

"People's hearts are not as old as they used to be!"

"These guys are so stupid! What's the matter? Don't you have anything else in mind except money?"

An old customer who happened to be passing by heard this complaint and immediately couldn't help but complain.

Ye Shi: "MMP! Are you embarrassed!"

Irena: "You are the one who sells the most expensive ones, okay?"

Elf King Fugui: "6 silver coins for a bowl of ramen! Why don't you go grab it!"

Mole on the run in the canyon: "That's right! Boss Crow has big breasts after all! He talks nicely! What do you have?"

Zhang Hai had a bad temper and a very poisonous mouth, so he reprimanded him on the spot.

"How do you know I'm not big? Do you want to try?"

Ye Shi: "Get out!"

Quit smoking: "Ugh vomit vomit!"

The nutritional ointment on my hands suddenly lost its fragrance.

I watched the customers leave in disgust.

Only then did Zhang Hai begin to regret. Customers are God and he shouldn't be quick to talk in a game.

"This is not the way to go."

Seeing that no one came to buy it, and seeing the foam in the pot boiling, Zhang Hai had no choice but to secretly change the price on the board to 5 silver coins.

"Someone should buy it this time, right?"

However, it backfired and had no effect.

Zhang Hai could only grimace, erase the 5 he had just written, and write a 4 bravely.

100% profit!

What a big loss!

Zhang Hai was bleeding from heartache.

However, maybe thanks to the price reduction, maybe because the dog planner felt sorry for him, there were some more NPC customers today.

Some people came to try it out after seeing the price reduction, and some came to have dinner with their children and wives. His stall finally had some faces other than players.

Looking at the curious and childish face next to his parents, Boss Zhang finally did not have the heart to cut corners.

Since the price was a little more affordable than before, there were more and more customers at night, and in the end he was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest.

However, the NPC never urges him, after all, he doesn’t understand even if he urges him.

He kept busy until half an hour after dinner, and then Zhang Hai had some time to rest.

Although he was a tired group, seeing the NPCs devouring his noodles and the hard-earned silver coins in the drawer, Zhang Hai couldn't help but smile on his tired face.

Maybe……

You should hire a buddy yourself.

Then go to the farm and open two branches.

Versions are changing.

He also has to make a little change.

Just when Zhang Hai was thinking about the future, carefree shouting came from the door of the store.

"Old man Zhang! Here's a bowl of noodles!"

"Get out of here, I'm so old!" Zhang Hai stared directly at me without even looking, "Look at my face, I must be twenty years old at most!"

Sisi, who was standing nearby, pulled his tail.

"Awei, this is rude, and how do you know how old he is? What if he is his younger brother?"

Tai Wei replied in an old-fashioned way.

"Si, you don't understand this. Which young person would use his real name as his online name, and which young person would be anxious if he was called an old man?"

"I'm your father."

Zhang Hai chuckled and placed two bowls of noodles on the table.

The tail of Lightspeed Payment quickly sat on the chair and couldn't wait to take out the chopsticks from the barrel. However, just as he was about to start, he screamed.

"giao!! Why is there one piece missing today!"

Zhang Hai said with a straight face.

"The price has been reduced. Is it strange that the quantity is low?"

Tails said pitifully.

"But, why does Sisi's bowl have more than me?"

"Slippery hands."

"Damn it! This evil capitalist!" Taiwei calmed down, sighed, shook his head, and muttered, "Hey, since this is the last bowl of noodles, Taiyi won't care about you anymore."

Zhang Hai stopped cutting meat and glanced at this lively little girl.

"The last bowl? You don't want to play anymore?"

"How is that possible! We've only reached Beta 0.2!" Taitail said with a smile, "This game is getting more and more interesting, okay?"

Zhang Hai wondered: "Then the last bowl of noodles is..."

"Weiwei wanted to open a mercenary union! The mercenary union needed funds, so weiwei decided to set up a mercenary union and go on a trip with Sisi!" Taiwei said with shining eyes, "There are also sesame paste and Rourou! We have made an appointment and will set off tomorrow. !”

"Don't say unnecessary words."

Sisi gently taught Tai Tai a lesson with his small fist holding chopsticks, cleared his throat when the latter screamed "ahhhhhhhhhh", and explained calmly.

"In short, it's a business system... This prodigal woman bought a bunch of useless numbers with krypton gold, and I have to help her earn it back."

Zhang Hai sighed earnestly and said: "You guys, you still have to be moderate... What's the point of spending money? Isn't it better to enjoy the game normally?"

Tails said unhappily.

"Retired old man, don't talk!"

"Which of your eyes saw me retiring?"

Zhang Hai rolled his eyes and threw two pieces of freshly cut cooked beef into her bowl.

"After eating, get out of here!"

…

It has been three days since the release of version 0.2, and it is not just the Niu Ma team that is selling silver coins.

How to throw?

Of course, everyone has their own way of throwing.

Although there is no such thing as a K-line chart for silver coin consignment, the historical transaction orders are all open and transparent, and you can just fine-tune them up or down according to other people's prices. This is not essentially different from CSgo's jewelry trading.

If you find it troublesome, you can just mark one silver coin as one dollar and throw in ten or twenty thousand silver coins.

If you don't mind the trouble, you can also break it into several or even dozens of small orders worth 100 silver coins, and place them at 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000... respectively, waiting for people to buy. How many transactions can be made depends on luck.

Although this will be slower, it can maximize the benefits.

With the emergence of a large number of selling orders, the price of silver coins finally began to gradually fall after the trading volume hit a new high.

And all of this happened under someone's eyes.

"Haha, clever little slicker."

Chu Guang, who was drinking Nuka-Cola and watching the show, smiled as he looked at the transaction records in the background and the surge in the number of reservations.

Elder Brother Fang has probably played in the U.S. stock market, and he is very proficient in selling high and buying low during the day.

The big order fell down to single digits, and then I secretly placed a small order and picked it up again. It went back and forth several times, and even my good brothers helped to pay out all the silver coins. They were probably counting the money at the moment.

Some people also sent private messages, asking about his background and wanting to talk to him straight to the point.

Talk?

Let’s talk about it with a hammer.

What's there to say about "Fallen Empire" and "Interstellar Natives"?

After all, the shelter is the last stubbornness of the People's Federation. Chu Guang has a mental problem and would use the helpless method of "showdown" to ask for cooperation when the other party could misunderstand him as an extraterrestrial civilization or other advanced beings.

What does the dimensionality reduction attack in the information field mean?

power failure? Disconnected?

That's all child's play.

A sneeze by Xiaoqi can upgrade the version of the parallel world's Earth. The "Second World" becomes the "Only Paradise", and the way to save the world is hidden in the game of Advanced Civilization. Add these set physics to the game's official website Come on, do you want to play a game like this?

The five great virtuous people will rush to play.

Not clicking "Over the Line Act" does not mean that this option does not exist, but that there are options that are more appropriate and more in line with his moral principles.

If you move the bricks well, the things you should have will naturally come to you. Chu Guang is a reasonable person. If you work for him, you can get paid from him.

This reward can be real money today, real status tomorrow, and even rise to the level of civilization in the future.

A legacy from advanced civilization.

The beneficiaries are not just individuals.

So if you want to enter the game, you should fill out the form honestly, apply for a "work visa" according to the rules he established, and abide by the local "laws and regulations."

After all, the New Alliance is one of the successors of the People's Federation, so this manager doesn't want to lose face?

As for the fluctuations in the silver coin market, what does Chu Guang think?

Sit and watch, of course.

Some people are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of silver coins to buy a silver coin, and some are willing to exchange hundreds of thousands of silver coins for one dollar. This has something to do with him. Which of these two things is not paper to him?

As long as players are willing, they can of course put 10,000 silver coins at 1 yuan for charity, and everyone can earn as much money as they want. What's more, in the real world, silver coins are not a currency that can be used to eat, but are game props.

As for whether it's worth it?

Is it worth exchanging a +999 dragon-slaying sword for a house? Is hundreds of thousands of dollars in Metaverse real estate worth it?

Talking about the above and online issues, which of the virtual things is not waste paper?

At least silver coins in Wasteland OL can really buy land that can be freely constructed, instead of paper models that fool people.

Thinking you are expensive means you are a sensible person.

And if you think it's impossible, it just means you've seen too little.

The new alliance can develop from a wilderness to its current scale, which is inseparable from the efforts of generations of players. Now that "Wasteland OL" has successfully reached the Beta stage, Chu Guang will certainly give some benefits to those who helped him.

And this is the reward they deserve for their hard work and progress.

But Fang Chang was only half right about this.

Chu Guang's original intention in developing this platform was indeed not to make money from other world's waste paper, but it was not just to distribute dividends to closed and beta players and regulate over-the-counter transactions, but also had two other deeper purposes.

One is to assign value to the pie drawn in "Wasteland OL", and the other is to redistribute the wealth in the game.

The former will make players more motivated to complete tasks and more actively participate in the corps system and trade system he planned.

The latter will make the economic cycle in the game more reasonable.

A bowl of ramen that costs less than 2 silver coins can be sold for 6 silver coins when taxes and land rent are extremely low.

Nothing has such a high profit!

The reason why it is so expensive is because of the habit of high-income players.

As the level increases, high-level players have too many silver coins, which cannot be consumed by just buying equipment. It is difficult for ordinary aborigines with a daily income of just over 10 silver coins to consume products that players "price themselves". After all, no matter how their income increases, they will never be able to outperform "immortal" players.

The players themselves have formed a closed economic cycle. In fact, they are the nobles or knights of the new alliance. Without the intervention of administrative means, the risk of exporting inflation to the national NPC market will continue to accumulate.

How to release risk?

Establishing an official silver coin trading channel and assigning values ​​to silver coins was just the first card Chu Guang played.

The liquidity rolling in the closed loop will release part of it outside the game, while the other part of the liquidity will be bought by players who are eager to become stronger in the new version, and invested in equipment, merchants, or other places, entering a virtuous cycle.

And those players who have a joking attitude and shout "It's too expensive, let's have two more bowls" will also consider more seriously the weight of currency, whether what they buy with silver coins is worth it, and whether they price the product. Reasonable.

If the citizens of a country have no respect for their own currency, and the nobles have unimaginable wealth but do not use it where it should be used, the risks will be far more than just inflation.

The new alliance already has more than a thousand players, and more people will be eligible for closed beta testing in the future.

The sooner these issues are resolved, the better.

"... Niu Ma Brick Factory, which had never paid dividends, finally paid dividends, and No. 81 Steel Factory also paid dividends. Part of the silver coins accumulated on the books flowed out of the game, and part went to other players, but most of them entered the new alliance. of the treasury. The problems of inflation and fiscal deficit were solved together.”

"New players can also get a better gaming experience. In addition to spending time on equipment, they can also take shortcuts when the price of silver coins drops, while high-level players have solved their life problems and can devote more energy to it. To the game.”

"Although cloud players are still not eligible for closed beta testing, they have also been given the opportunity to indirectly participate in the game."

"This time it should be... forget it, forget it." Chu Guang counted on his fingers for a while, and finally gave up.

I can’t count how many times I’ve won.

In short, let’s call it a win-win situation.

"But Master... why would those people who obviously can't enter the game buy game coins?" Xiao Qi felt confused.

This kind of confusion is the same as when it faces those snails that "are obviously weak but insist on coming over to test it with their tentacles."

Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa, replied casually after taking a sip of the cold drink.

"Everyone has their own reasons. Some people spend money to buy lessons, and some people spend money to buy dreams. What we have to do is not to control which leg players take when running, or which hand they use to wipe their buttocks, but to ensure that the vast majority of athletes run on the track and remove offending competitors from the track.”

Those who are qualified to play games are adults, and adults should be responsible for their own actions. He is a manager, not a nanny.

A young player spent 200,000 yuan to buy 20,000 silver coins. The largest transaction was for 40,000 yuan to buy 800 silver coins.

If she spent all of it to buy ramen, she would definitely lose money.

But what if you buy nutritional ointment and transport it to the plantations in the south, or change it into weapons and transport it to Honghe Town?

Twenty thousand silver coins is far more than twenty thousand.

"The price of silver coins seems to have dropped."

"It's normal. It means that the New Year's red envelopes are almost finished and they should go online to move bricks." Chu Guang stretched and stood up from the sofa.

Xiao Qi asked curiously: "But if the price of silver coins keeps falling, will anyone still buy it?"

Chu Guang said easily.

"Price will move towards consensus in the divergence, and towards divergence in the consistency. The enlargement of trading volume is the beginning of the reversal, and the shrinkage is the end of the trend. Whether 1 silver coin is exchanged for 100 yuan, or 100 silver is exchanged for 1 yuan, that thing is very important to us. It’s all just numbers.”

"If it really comes to the point where we need to bail out the market, it will be too easy to make it go up. I will directly post a complete set of solid-state hydrogen technology on the official website. Ten 'study abroad' places include teaching and training. The price is 100 million silver coins. You Guess how much the silver coin is worth?”

“Think about how much garbage we picked up and how many buns we steamed for the Pioneer for the ‘Magnetic Confined Plasma Cutting Machine Tool’. Now let’s look back and see if the deal was worth it.”

“You can’t just look at the surface of a problem.”

(Thanks to the leader of "E Curry" for the reward!!)
