My Players' Second Playthrough
#51 - The prototype of the auction house
There are not many players left in the city, but they are all troublesome guys.
For example, the magical girl "Li Yuan".
In addition to cleaning the dream space of Tiebi City on a regular basis every day, she spends the rest of her time contacting various dealers and exploring sales channels for monster materials.
Many players are doing this.
At the beginning, the Super Chamber of Commerce wanted to monopolize the output of the players, but Li Li only promised them the right to operate in the new base.
This gave the players a loophole.
They brought other chambers of commerce here, and asked these large chambers of commerce to arrange strong people to stand at the monster spawning point outside the base and forcefully open stores despite the harassment of small monsters.
So, under the competition among several major chambers of commerce, the players made a lot of money.
But the good times did not last long. In less than a few days, the major chambers of commerce had reached a preliminary consensus.
They still rushed to receive the goods, but the prices they offered were unusually uniform.
These major chambers of commerce are working together to compete for the pricing power of monster output.
If they succeed in the end, the benefits will certainly be far beyond imagination.
Take the [Heart of the Centaur], which can increase the lifespan of ordinary people by 10 years.
This level of monster output is cheap to sell for hundreds of millions of Alliance coins.
But players can take out 10 or 20 to sell every day.
In addition, some players revealed that the main distribution area of the [Centaur] race is not in the Rich Continent. If he can go to the wasteland of the Dragon Ridge Continent, he can easily brush out tens of thousands of [Heart of the Centaur] in a day.
This was originally a casual chat between "players", but the "NPC" who opened a shop next to it is not deaf.
After knowing that the supply of [Heart of the Centaur] is so sufficient, the Chamber of Commerce is unwilling to pay a high price for it.
Naturally, with this incident as the fuse, the Chamber of Commerce and the players began a full-scale confrontation.
For the conflict between the two sides, Li Li has no intention of intervening for the time being.
He is an outsider in economics, and it is not easy to favor either side openly.
The most important thing is that many players enjoy this "game".
A bunch of Blue Star people who didn't get the trial qualification, did nothing all day, but gave advice to other players in the forum, and the related posts could be topped by thousands of posts.
From the perspective of the players, just because of a casual chat between them, the Chamber of Commerce suppressed the players comprehensively.
This is so fucking interesting!
Now in order to compete with the big Chamber of Commerce for pricing power, players are using various means.
The lower-end ones will collect materials in the base, and then walk for an hour to carry the materials back to the city to sell.
However, even if they return to the city, except for those particularly scarce items, other drops must be sold to the Chamber of Commerce.
The middle-end ones are players like "Li Yuan" who used to be full-time merchants.
She is contacting various distributors to expand her channels, and plans to bite off a share from the major Chambers of Commerce in the future.
And the highest-end one is "Golden Wind", who can start a business by relying on games and is rich enough to pay players wages.
He found Li Li not long ago and said that he had contacted the magic master and planned to apply for the use of the portal over there to set up a remote "auction house" after the portal of the new base was established.
At that time, players can put up the things they want to sell and buy the things they want from the auction house as long as they go to the "auction house".
If the idea of the "auction house" can succeed, the price of the things will naturally be determined by the market.
This is not a new thing. Like World of Warcraft, FF14, DNF... As long as it is an equipment-driven game, there is basically such a crop.
But the difference of "Glory Expedition OL" is that this auction house is established by the players themselves, and most of the things hung in the auction house are bought by NPCs.
So Li Li readily agreed to the proposal of "Golden Wind" to rent the portal.
Li Li can foresee that when the number of players increases in the future, in bases without portals, players will mainly rely on the "stores" of major chambers of commerce for supplies, and places with portals should be the world of "auction houses".
Thinking of this, Li Li actually felt a little ashamed.
He, the incompetent God of Creation, seemed to be only responsible for summoning and resurrecting players.
But the players created an "auction house", "advanced channel" and even found a new "saint" for him.
However, these were all self-mockery by Li Li, and he still had many things to consider.
Take what happened recently, for example. Several players had discovered the "new way to play" in this world.
That is QQ space.
For this behavior that is not suitable for children, as long as it did not violate the wishes of the space owner, Li Li only symbolically deducted 4 points of [sin value].

In other words, a player can deduct 25 times by default, and if they do good things and brush back the deducted points, they can deduct more.
The reason for doing this is that Li Li is testing the attitude of Blue Star.
——The scale of my game is so large, and you haven't said anything yet. Does it mean that you already know that my game is not just a game?
As for the results of the test, Li Li can be sure that both the official and the expedition company that operates "Desperate Expedition OL" know that his "game" is not just a "game".
Just last night, the expedition company held a press conference to fully introduce "Glory Expedition OL", a game that is completely run by "AI".
Someone moved the screen of the "game" at the press conference to Li Li's forum, and said that the content of the press conference was all captured from the player's live broadcast room, and publicly questioned whether this game might be "real".
But... there is no evidence?
Li Li's world has only been born for more than 2,000 years. Because of the reference to "Creator Simulator", this world has a lot of forces and races at the beginning of its birth, and the default language is still Chinese.
Whether you are a goblin or an angel, the whole world speaks Chinese.
In other words, although this world is real, it is created based on fakes.
You can find a hundred reasons to prove that this is real, and at the same time, you can find more reasons to refute it.
At least Li Li wanted players to believe that this is the real world at the beginning.
Because of this, after completing the two-way selection, it can really save a lot of trouble.
Although there are many short-term benefits to letting players mistakenly believe that this is a game, there are also side effects.
One of the most troubling issues for Li Li now is how to restrain the increasingly unrestrained players.
Is it enough to rely solely on the [Sin Value] to restrain them?
Li Li is unsure.
You have to know that the current 66 players are basically die-hard fans of "Desperate Expedition OL".
Those who can spend millions on a game or become famous masters in the PVP rankings are definitely "rare creatures" compared to ordinary players.
There may be many "rare creatures" like this.
If the next batch of 1,000 players summoned by Li Li are properly screened, most of them should also be "rare creatures".
But can these "rare creatures" really purify the entire world?
