From star abyss

When Nomi and Snow are debating whether to go into space, the influence of Entropy on the players has begun to show.

[Event·"Red Arrow Flood" has been completed]

[The reputation of Azure Star has been increased]

[Tip: The General Administration of Hot Summer Players Guild has released a new public commission: "Help the Empire", do you accept it...]

After finishing the flood relief mission, Coffee Cat browsed the mission interface and carefully sifted through the many lists, trying to find the most suitable mission for him.

As a lv.120 [Responder], Coffee Cat chose to be a lone wolf player, not because he doesn't like to communicate with others, but because he hopes to change his profession to [Bishop] in the future, and he made this decision after careful consideration.

Li Ozi was too dazzling in the battle in the Galaxy Eye. He single-handedly ended the meat grinder that generations of people have feared, and also allowed the [Bishop], the new [Dominator] system, to show itself to the Star Abyss civilization and players. in front of them.

To be honest, compared to the grand debut during the public beta, during the Battle of Galaxy Eye, few players knew about the plot.

But when the Blue Star was successfully liberated and connected with the interstellar world, the originally blocked information was instantly overwhelmed by the deeds of Li Ozi and the cruel Galaxy Eye rumors.

In particular, the location of the Blue Star is special. It is just between the forces of the Empire and the Temple, and it is far away from the center of the universe. It perfectly forms an echo chamber: the news here will be like an echo, touching the edge and hitting the wall. , after being spread with added extravagance and jealousy, it becomes even more outrageous and spreads back, repeated over and over again, forming a cocoon that strengthens awareness.

As a result, in this space, the name of [Bishop Yuexian], which was originally downplayed, became almost unknown and unknown to everyone.

Even if you are a player on the Night Butterfly Federation side, if you hear these news all day long, and there are myths everywhere about one person killing the Galaxy Eye, it will be difficult not to change your mind, or even betray the camp just to find out.

Coffee Cat is an ordinary idle player. According to the updates shared on his player homepage, he is a loyal player who has hobbies such as Star Abyss Lottery, Expanded List Reposting, Comedy Highlights, and High-Quality Secondary Creations.

There is no mixing in the circle, dirty pictures must be saved, outrageous comments must be forwarded, games are not watched, live broadcasts are used as background sounds, abilities are neither high nor low, krypton gold is only a little taste, and the level of practice is not too high. , the game time is limited.

In a word, it's just for playing games.

There are not a few players like Coffee Cat, and they even account for a very high proportion of game players. In the past, game officials liked to use guilds, groups, and camps to control and manage player organizations. Most of the official services provided were also based on community unfolds.

But now, I don’t know if it’s because of the planner of "Star Abyss" - that is, Sima Dongxi of Lai Anding, who has been messing around for a long time and banned players from following Li Ozi to dive into the Star Abyss. In order to compensate, KitKat Network has made many eye-catching operations in the past two weeks.

What satisfies Coffee Cat the most is that players from each server are allowed to establish a non-guild autonomous organization - the Players General Administration.

On the surface, this organization only provides an in-game communication platform for idle players and medium and light players to prevent cloud players who only attend forums and do not play games from talking about it and affecting game information.

But in fact, after the General Administration appeared, players discovered that this thing was not a platform, it was simply a country within a country.

The General Administration allows players in each server to manage their own internal markets. The trading platform and logistics network that originally required communication with the indigenous people can now be used by players as long as they join the General Administration.

On the other hand, the General Administration also provides an exclusive function: cashback for coupons.

The particularity of the game "Star Abyss" is that it is a complex ecological world. Star Abyss itself has various currencies. Although ammonium gold exists as a powerful purchase currency, the denomination of ammonium gold is really too large.

I just want to buy a pack of 7.62*39 bullets and use 1 ammonium gold to buy them. Then I can’t even think of living at a shooting range for the rest of my life.

If things go on like this, players will inevitably encounter a problem: if players want to expand their power, they need currency to purchase equipment, but the [Mall] does not provide in-game equipment. Different environmental planets have inconsistent currencies, and ammonium gold is forced to be promoted. There is not enough foreign exchange for ammonium gold and the denomination is too large.

Without currency, there is no way to raise funds, and the player's armed group cannot expand on a large scale.

In this way, they can either choose to develop into developed narrative civilizations and advanced civilizations in order to obtain better resources, or they can exchange the few ammonium gold they hold into unstable and cheap local currencies - but in this way , which is equivalent to giving free money to the local planet civilization.

Their mission may not be completed by then. They must first alleviate poverty for local residents. The local government will use ammonium funds to find a third-rate civilization to invest in construction and introduce capital, or they may simply go directly to Valkyrie Fortress, and then the fortress will dispatch orders to players. .

Therefore, in this process, many players have vaguely achieved one achievement: paying themselves to do things.

Bad, I became a holy mother.

And let ammonium gold depreciate? Pull it down.

The pricing power of ammonium gold is in the hands of Red King, and players cannot interfere.

In order to solve this problem, players from several major guilds discussed it and decided to use their own advantages: points.

The coupon thing is their real capital - in every sense.

It can only be held by the players themselves, the amount can basically be controlled, and the value and exchange rate are locked. This is the player's own currency.

Prior to this, players generally relied on themselves to make gold within the game, or even barter. The purpose of the coupons is very narrow, basically only precious supplies, a small amount of limited materials that ordinary people cannot use, and fashionable items.

According to KitKat Network’s financial report, 78.9% of players’ coupon consumption pie chart was spent on fashion. Before this, almost no one would choose to use coupons to redeem transactions.

But now, after the establishment of the Players General Administration, the official allows cashback for point coupons. This suddenly makes point coupons the most useful, practical, and convenient currency among players.

A large number of studios were forced to stop business due to the closure of the Qianyuan port. They previously criticized KitKat Network, but now they have directly ushered in the second spring.

It is true that this will cause many problems, especially the use of games to launder money...

But, does KitKat Network care?

Players were shocked by the boldness of "Star Abyss". This was almost an open money laundering practice, but after it actually appeared, the internal market was running very stably.

Although the players were shocked by this, the KitKat Network behind "Star Abyss", or [player] Senator Pryor, did not care about this issue.

After all, in the real world, these divine warriors are still under the control of reality filters, and there is no so-called 'money laundering' crisis at all.

What Coffee Cat is most satisfied with is the main function of the General Administration: collecting resources, summarizing, and redistributing them.

Many light players are still players of traditional online games. Many of them are not in the mood to explore the details of the game carefully. Their understanding of the game is: take the task - rush to the destination - kill, kill, kill, kill, kill - come back and hand in the mission. ——Get rewarded.

This approach, which is actually equivalent to three points and one line, is precisely the gameplay that is more acceptable to most people.

The ability of the General Administration is to allow players who join the General Administration to share tasks that they cannot complete at this stage or are not interested in, and hang them on the platform for all General Administration personnel to choose.

The General Administration will draw a portion of the rewards as operation and maintenance costs and labor remuneration to the management. Sharers can obtain experience rewards and obtain achievements, while light players who accept the commission directly save themselves the trouble of searching, accepting tasks, and handing in tasks. The process of the task - and what those who complete it receive are point rewards.

In this way, idle and redundant resources are immediately utilized. Novice players can freely choose their own tasks, gradually become familiar with the game environment, and then explore when they become stronger. Occasionally, they are busy at work and just want to fight and relieve stress. If you don't have enough power, just contact the General Administration and you'll be done.

Here comes the key point, why does the client get all the task rewards, while the general administration taskmaster who completes the task gets points?

the reason is simple.

A large number of players obtain tasks through the General Administration, earn points by completing them, and then take the points to the General Administration for internal consumption in player-owned markets such as treasure houses and auction houses.

In the end, the points are still in the hands of the players and will not be evacuated to the NPC market. However, because the points are circulated, the General Administration can use the points to find players and hire them to complete their own infrastructure.

Even, it is to engage in financial investment.

After all, the essence of "Star Abyss" is not a simple game. The activation of the cashback mechanism led to the entry of a large number of real economies, and then quickly formed an internal financial market for players.

After capital operation, players with a keen sense of smell reacted instantly.

"Working? What the hell! I want to engage in finance!"

“Stud is a form of wisdom.”

"How can a child cry every day, and how can a stock investor lose every day! The domain of Waterma is unfolding, and the masters will be killed!"

However, after all, the General Administration has just been formed. No matter how promising it is, it cannot develop so fast.

Until Mr. Entropy gently pushed his hand.

Suddenly, several well-known anchors and players' guilds, without knowing what they were thinking, forwarded these announcements from the general administration. These messages were quickly interpreted and their potential was tapped, attracting countless people inside and outside the circle. Enter "Xingyuan".

This even exceeded [Player] Pryor's expectations.

The emergence of the General Administration is as terrifying as a black hole for the concentration of idle resources.

In the interface of the General Administration, Coffee Cat only needs to enter his level and occupation, plus the Blue Star-Red Arrow Dominion where he is currently located, and then he can filter out the accurately recommended tasks.

What is the player's power?

Is it immortality that can be resurrected indefinitely?

——Most narrative civilizations have similar resurrection abilities.

Is it the terrifying growth rate?

——Narrative civilization is not much worse, and even more talented.

Is it the huge population?

——Narrative civilization is truly crushing in this aspect.

In fact, even [Player] Pryor himself did not realize that he habitually made this game system according to the ideas of the people on earth.

But as a native of Xingyuan, Lord Entropy saw the most terrifying power of these skin-changing gods.
