Big Manga

On February 14, 2018, the day before New Year's Eve, Meng Huo went out alone with his bodyguards.

He wore a scarf covering half of his face, and walked slowly on the street. Everything on this street made him feel familiar and strange, and he couldn't help but sighed softly: "There is no one who buys flowers. , it really is different..."

Today is the day when "" is released, but it has another meaning in Meng Huo's previous life - Valentine's Day. This festival from the west is very popular in his world. On this day, there are always sweet couples and some flower sellers on the streets.

But it is a pity that in this world where China is respected, Valentine's Day on February 14 has not become popular. The street on this day was the same as usual. Although the street was lively, it was full of people buying gifts and New Year's goods, and most of them were families going out together, and there were very few couples.

"Forget it." Meng Huo shook his head. Although he was a little regretful, he didn't have much grudges against the disappearance of Western Valentine's Day. After all, China still had the Valentine's Day when Cowherd and Weaver Girl met! It’s just that he should pay attention to comics and animation works in the future, and try not to write too much about Western festivals, otherwise readers will lack a sense of substitution.

Meng Huo walked to the game store. """ was released today. He was bored and just came out to check the situation. He came to a flagship store of Datang Corporation, and it was still very early, it was only eight o'clock in the morning, but before he walked over, Meng Huo saw a long queue outside the flagship store.

"1, 2..." Counted silently. The number of people is about one hundred, which is not comparable to when the manga was released, but it can already be regarded as a miracle in the world of text adventure games. There are men and women in this team. Most of them are young people between the ages of sixteen and seventeen to twenty-four or five. They lined up calmly. Some of them were playing games, some were reading books, some were chatting.

But Meng Huo soon noticed that there was a shorter team next to this team. Because of the small number of people, the team lined up very high, so it was not easy to be noticed.

"That's the team that bought advance tickets, right? Why are there so few people?" Meng Huo frowned. He was about to walk over to have a look, but was blocked by a girl when he passed the end of the long line.

"Hello. Guest, are you the one who bought the pre-sale tickets? Please queue up here for the pre-sale tickets!"

The girl asked, she was wearing the shop assistant's clothes, and she was holding a sign in her hand. It says - "《《》Advance Ticket Queuing Office".

Meng Huo was taken aback, and he looked at the girl's position again. She was standing at the end of the long line. Then he looked up at the short team of only a dozen people. Behind the short team was also a clerk holding a sign in his hand. If he looked over intently, he could clearly see the words on the sign—"《《》" Ordinary sales queue”

"Damn it! The queue for pre-sale tickets is longer than that of buying the game directly!?"

Ninghai,

Yu Feihang had just lined up when he heard cursing from behind.

He turned his head. I saw a young man getting angry at the clerk who was in charge of queuing up: "You said that this tens of meters long line is for people who have bought advance tickets? And the line at the door is for people who have not bought tickets! Nima... Are you trying to cheat us on purpose? Is there any reason to spend money on worse treatment!?"

"Sir, calm down, there is no other way!"

The clerk wiped his sweat. Some nervously explained: "Because it's still early, the customers who come now are all customers who want to get the game early. Of course, most of the active customers have bought pre-sale tickets, so the line here is a bit long, I hope you can understand But the line here is fast, as long as there are pre-sale tickets, each of you can get the game smoothly."

She makes a lot of sense. The game has just been released, and the only people who show up at the door of the store are active players. Ninety percent of these players would buy pre-sale tickets in advance, which naturally caused this strange phenomenon.

"Fuck, then I don't want this pre-sale ticket. I can go there and line up, right?" The young man was still very angry. He picked up the ticket and wanted to tear it up, but the clerk suddenly stopped him and said softly: " If this is the case, sir, why don't you sell the pre-sale ticket back to me?"

She carefully suggested: "You sell the pre-sale ticket back to me, and you can go over there and queue up!"

The young man was taken aback, then looked at the clerk like a fool: "Are you sure?"

"Of course, but you must promise me not to tell the shopkeeper about this." The shop assistant nodded and replied, "If you promise, I will buy your advance ticket at the original price!"

The young man smiled immediately: "Okay, no problem, I'll sell it to you!" Of course, he was very happy to reduce the queuing time and get back the money for the pre-sale tickets.

Yu Feihang's ears were sharp. Although the clerk's suggestion was soft, he heard it. He turned around quickly: "Hey, how about I sell it to you too?"

"..." The clerk was taken aback, and then nervously looked at the crowd in front of her. No one else seemed to notice what was going on here, so she nodded, "No problem, I'll accept everything."

Yu Feihang and the young man happily sold the pre-sale tickets, and then walked to the short line together.

"Is the clerk stupid to do such a thing?" The young man was still smiling on the road.

"Who knows!"

Yu Feihang couldn't figure it out either, he looked back after he lined up, the clerk was still working normally, but occasionally a few people would quietly sell advance tickets to her, and then lined up here with a smile on their faces side.

Strange, why does she collect so many votes? Yu Feihang felt strange, but he didn't pay much attention to it. The ordinary team moved slowly. It was probably the turn of two customers with pre-sale tickets before a customer without a ticket. Moreover, the containers of the two types of customers are different. The pre-sale containers are filled with several floors, and the non-pre-sale game inventory is less than half of it.

However, Yu Feihang successfully bought the game. Although the inventory here is not as good as the pre-sale inventory, the quantity is quite large, with more than 400 sets left. According to the current speed, Yu Feihang estimates that it can be sold until noon.

"Boss, pay the bill.", "130 Huaxia coins, thank you for your patronage!"

After paying the bill, Yu Feihang took the game box and walked out of the game store contentedly, but when he came out, he was suddenly surprised. From the late stage of his queue, he didn't pay attention to the situation of the teams. Including the time to buy the game, the whole process did not exceed ten minutes... However, after he came out, the two teams were almost the same length.

"1, 2..."

Yu Feihang counted the number of people in the ordinary team, and now there are more than 50 people in line, and more than 40 people have been added within ten minutes. If calculated according to this speed, in about an hour, the number of people on the ordinary team's side would be enough to consume the inventory in the store.

This means that after an hour, except for the customers who came later to pre-sale tickets, it is impossible for anyone else to buy the game!

"No...it's not impossible..." Yu Feihang looked at the clerk behind the ticket reservation line, and was shocked. Nima, who said that this clerk is a fool, she is simply too prescient! Now she has collected a large number of pre-sale tickets in her hand, and after waiting an hour, she can sit down and ask for a price, and sell them at a high price.

"Damn it, it's so dark!"

This matter should not be led by the shopkeeper. Just now the shop assistant clearly said not to tell the shopkeeper, but this kind of practice is a bit contrary to professional ethics...

Yu Feihang walked up to the clerk silently: "How much do you plan to sell those tickets for?"

The clerk was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "I've been spotted, but forget it, I've had enough."

Contrary to her previous timid and cautious image, she said with a smile: "Ten yuan is accepted for one ticket, and I plan to sell it for forty yuan. Sir, I am a professional ticket seller. If you have friends who want to buy games, you can ask me to buy tickets. "

"Are you a ticket vendor?" Yu Feihang was taken aback.

"That's right, this clerk is a temporary worker and can run away at any time. It's useless if you tell the store manager." The clerk shook his head and said, "Who said that the advance ticket has no number? After I run away, I can still sell it to others, no You'll be discovered...but you're not a policeman, so you won't care so much, will you?"

She stared at Yu Feihang without any worries. Even if the police are here, she is not worried. The police generally don't care about such small things as game sales. (to be continued)
