My Pokémon Player

Although the old players were yelling and cursing below, Qian Duoduo's attention was not on them.

He looked at Moni with expectation, and Moni did not disappoint him, and directly called out the price of eighty Elf Coins.

In fact, in Moni's opinion, Qian Duoduo was not as good as the newbie before, and he should have called out a lower price.

But who made him boast just now, it was not easy to lower the price now.

Of course, this could not be blamed on Moni. He had never auctioned a beast master before, and he didn't know what the right price was. He thought eighty Elf Coins were not a lot, but when he saw the expressions of the crowd, he knew that his price was too high.

But it didn't matter. It was good to be able to hire a beast master to build a branch hall. The excess price was regarded as a good relationship with these beast masters.

In the future, they will have to stay in Firefly Town for a long time, and they will definitely have to contact with the beast masters under Ryan, so it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with this group of beast masters.

Thinking of this, Moni was no longer entangled. He looked at the old players below confidently, wanting to see if anyone would bid with him.

But the old players are not fools, how could they spend more than 80 Elf coins to hire a newcomer.

Seeing that no one was bidding higher, Qian Duoduo said very quickly:

"No one is bidding anymore? Trinity deal! Congratulations to Knight Moni for hiring me at 80 Elf coins a day. Otherwise, how can Knight Moni be our instructor? His vision is beyond reproach!"

The old players were too lazy to scold him after hearing this. If a person is shameless, he is invincible in the world. No matter how much they scold him, it is just a waste of words.

Qian Duoduo looked at the old players below with pride.

Humph, as long as you can earn Elf coins, face is nothing!

Although he is a middleman who auctions newcomers, he is also a newbie. Of course, he can sell himself. If you don't make money, you are a bastard.

I heard that the old players rushed to build toilets in order to make money. Compared with this, selling yourself to NPCs is nothing. NPCs can't let them build toilets.

Facing Qian Duoduo's flattery, Moni just nodded calmly, and then said to Qian Duoduo and the old players below:

"It's too troublesome to auction one by one. I just said that I am willing to hire the remaining beast masters at the same price. If you are not willing to offer a higher price, we can simply skip the auction process. What do you think?"

Moni's meaning is very simple. Anyway, the old players are unlikely to bid a price higher than 80 Elf Coins. Instead of wasting time on auctioning one by one, it is better to pay for all the newcomers. This saves time and effort.

Qian Duoduo and the newcomers naturally agreed to Moni's proposal. Although the old players were unwilling in their hearts, they were forced to nod in agreement because their wallets were empty.

So the first auction for newbies in the Pokémon world ended hastily.

The newcomers who were auctioned were all smiling. They finally had money to buy Poké cubes for Pokémon!

And the old players who were buyers were frowning. Without the newcomers as cheap labor, the time for building the house would be delayed again.

They were not worried about having no place to sleep. Ryan told them that they could live in the castle before the house was built.

The old players were worried that building a house would delay their training and going out for adventures, and thus they would be left behind by others.

Needless to say, Chen Yan and the other five old players had already hired new players to help them build a house. They had been adventuring and leveling up outside these days. Lao Ye's Heracross and Xu Ruofeng's Dream Demon were both over level 20, and the main Pokémon of the other three were also approaching level 20.

These five old players were the veterans of the game, and it was normal for them to be stronger.

But the second batch of players like Zaliang Guoba were also going to be left behind by them, so how could other players not be anxious?

If they didn't work hard to catch up, the gap would get bigger and bigger in the future, and they might even fall out of the first echelon.

But no matter how anxious they were, it was useless. There were only so many new players, and a lot of them had been divided up by Chen Yan and others before. Excluding those who were unwilling to build a house and chose to do daily tasks, there were only a dozen new players left.

Originally, these dozen newbies were enough for the old players to share, but they were all fooled by Qian Duoduo and held an auction.

The auction was just an auction, it was nothing more than a high bid, who would have thought that Knight Moni would come out in the middle and buy all the newbies, which made the old players feel miserable.

There was no way, the house was half built, and they couldn't give up halfway, so they had to sacrifice training time to build the house.

The old players left with a sigh, and Ryan didn't interfere.

Of course, he knew that building a house would delay the old players from improving their strength, but this house had to be built. There would be more and more players in the future, and the castle couldn't accommodate so many people.

Besides, the castle is a symbol of the lord, and players can't go in and out frequently, which is not conducive to establishing their own majesty and image.

As for the problem of delaying leveling due to building a house, Ryan had already thought of a solution.

Isn't it just that there are not enough newbies to share? He is about to summon new players. When hundreds of newbies come, let alone building a house, the castle can be built for you.

"The reason why we gave Knight Commander Moni so many Pokémon coins was to strengthen his interaction and bond with the players, so that it would be easier to win him over in the future."

"At the same time, we made the players think that Moni was an important NPC that issued quests, making the Pokémon world more like a game."

"In the end, they inadvertently created a wealthy competitor for the old players. They not only have to cultivate Pokémon, but also pay off the mortgage. The amount of Pokémon coins they have is far less than Moni's. They can only watch as Moni hires all the Newcomer."

"But that's fine. Moni doesn't know that a large number of newbies will be pouring in in two days. By then, not to mention eighty elf coins, I'm afraid that twenty elf coins will be enough to hire a player."

"He is now hiring players at a high price, and the elf coins will be spent soon. After experiencing the high efficiency of players, he will definitely continue to hire players in the future, but players only recognize elf coins. If he wants to hire players, he can only hire players from me. Earn elven coins and do things for me.”

"In other words, if I give the elf coins to aboriginal people like Moni, it will not only expand the influence of the elf coins, but also make them consciously become NPCs who issue tasks in the game. The key is that I can also give orders to a certain extent. They simply kill three birds with one stone.”

Ryan murmured to himself, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but he didn't expect that using elf coins as payment would have many benefits.

"I can continue to promote this model and let more aborigines join in. No, there is no need for me to promote it. I don't believe Aisha can't be tempted after seeing the efficiency of the players. She will definitely take the initiative to participate. Other Aboriginal people are no exception."

"And those merchants, if I force them to use elf coins to settle their payments, they will inevitably feel dissatisfied, and they will also notice something is wrong and be wary of me."

"But if they knew that they could hire players to do anything for them with Elf Coins, or even buy players' lives, those smart businessmen might not take the initiative to exchange Elf Coins."

The more Ryan thought about it, the more excited he became, and many strange ideas popped into his mind.

For example, Guanhai City's combat strength is mainly composed of escorts and mercenaries. They are all hired by merchants. Is it possible for players to get involved?

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, players are just Warcraft envoys hired by Ryan, not knights who swear allegiance to Ryan. They can completely poach players away.

Compared to mercenaries with varying strengths and no discipline, players who can help you get things done beautifully by giving them money, and even risk their lives, are undoubtedly more competitive.

They could easily squeeze away the mercenaries and guards, and then go undercover in Guanhai City, slowly gaining the trust of Guanhai City's merchants.

When the time is right, you can cooperate with Ryan and capture Guanhai City in one fell swoop!

"Well, this is a good idea. Let Guanhai City help me cultivate players, but the prerequisite is that the businessmen must see the benefits of hiring players."

"And one thing we have to guard against is that those businessmen are only interested in profit. When they realize the importance of elf coins, they may secretly manufacture fake elf coins."

Ryan frowned. Businessmen would do anything to make profits. They had never done counterfeiting before.

It's just that the raw materials of the Arad Kingdom's currency are valuable metals such as gold, silver, and copper, and merchants can't get much profit from counterfeiting.

Coupled with the severe crackdowns by the kingdom's laws, few merchants would take the risk of making counterfeit coins.

But Elf Coins are different. In order to create a currency for players as soon as possible, Ryan asked the blacksmith to use metals that can be found everywhere as raw materials.

The low price of these metals makes the cost of counterfeiting extremely low, and merchants are not afraid of Ryan discovering that the craftsmanship of elf coins is very simple, and they can easily make the fakes look real.

Even if Ryan knew that they were making counterfeit coins, it would be difficult to tell them apart, let alone do anything to them, because there is no evidence.

The counterfeit coins I made are exactly the same as your elf coins. Why do you think my coins are counterfeit?

Once these counterfeit coins flow into Firefly Town, it will not only harm Ryan's interests, but also disrupt the player's currency system, with very serious consequences.

"It seems that I have to change the style of the elf coins, and try not to use metal as raw materials. On the one hand, metal coins are easy to counterfeit, rare metals are difficult to obtain, and on the other hand, metal coins are not easy to carry."

Ryan looked at Moni who was taking out bags of elf coins in front of him and said, he didn't know how Moni could fit so many elf coins in his armor.

"Now that players have developed paper, I can change the style of elf coins to paper money. Paper money has many advantages, such as lower cost, easy portability and printing, and more anti-counterfeiting methods than metal currency."

"The disadvantage is that it is not easily accepted, but this is not a disadvantage for players. They can definitely accept banknotes. Another disadvantage is counterfeiting, but metal currencies also have this disadvantage."

"What's more, in this era, banknotes are not so easy to counterfeit. The indigenous people don't even know how paper is made, let alone engraving and printing. It is almost impossible for them to make counterfeit coins."

"Of course, I can't take it lightly. It is best to have anti-counterfeiting marks on the banknotes so that they are foolproof."

As long as the indigenous people can't make counterfeit coins, then Ryan can feel at ease.

Ryan is not worried about players cheating. The reason is simple. He has the power to ban accounts.

As long as the players have any brains, they cannot risk being banned by making counterfeit coins in the game. Doing so is completely outweighing the gains and losses.

As for those brainless pre-registration players, they are not even qualified to enter the game, and it is impossible for Ryan to issue them internal beta quotas.

Therefore, it is impossible for players to create counterfeit coins, and this is also true.

Players have been in the game for a long time. With their exploration capabilities, it is pure nonsense to say that they don’t know how Elf Coins are made.

But they have no idea of ​​making counterfeit money. Even if they are so poor that they can't afford black bread, they have never made counterfeit money. They would rather go to the Liuying Forest to find tree fruits to eat.

Again, even if there is only a 1% chance of being discovered, players don't dare to bet. They don't want to miss out on this cross-generational game just because of some small profits.

If you have no money, you can still make money in the game, but if your account is banned, you will never be able to play this game again. Players will naturally be able to distinguish between the two.

"As long as I have the power to ban accounts, players will have no other thoughts, and I can safely leave the research and development of banknotes to them."

Ryan mused, without further ado, merchants from Guanhai City will come to conduct their first transaction soon. At that time, they can still use the original elf coins, but they cannot be used for subsequent transactions. The sooner banknotes are developed, The better it comes out.

Just as Ryan was about to go to the mission station to issue the mission, Knight Commander Moni stopped him.

"Baron Lane, when did you come?"

Ryan stopped when he heard this. He smiled and joked to Moni:

"I came here a little earlier than you, and I just happened to see you spending a lot of money. You are worthy of being the guardian knight of Poseidon Temple, and your actions are grand."

Monidon felt ashamed, and he quickly said to Ryan:

"I made you laugh. I used the elf coins you gave me to hire your Warcraft users. This is indeed inappropriate. It is just for the construction of a branch hall."

"No, you, me, mine, it almost made me faint. I gave you the elf coins to thank you for training knights and magic beast users for me. You deserve these elf coins. You can use them however you want." , no need to explain to me.”

Ryan waved his hand and interrupted Moni. He hoped that Moni would use elf coins more in the future.

"Thank you for your understanding. Once the temple is built, we will be the first to invite you to pray in the temple."

Moni bowed and thanked.

"Okay, if you encounter any trouble when building the branch temple, you can tell me. I will definitely help in any way I can. After all, without your deterrence, those bastards from the Shadow Church would really be able to invade the city."

After Lane returned to Firefly Town, he learned the news that the Shadow Church had come to attack Firefly Town. It must have been Baron Bach who asked the Shadow Church to send people to prevent Lane from sending troops.

As a result, for some reason they failed to stop the large force led by Ryan, and instead planned to attack Firefly Town, which had no defense power.

Fortunately, he had made full preparations before setting off, specifically instructing Uncle White and Captain Raymond to notify Poseidon Temple as soon as they found traces of the Shadow Church, thus scaring them away.

To be honest, Ryan is very grateful to Moni and others. If it weren't for them, the militiamen would definitely have to fight the Shadow Church, but they had just conquered the Rock Dog not long ago, and their strength was still very weak.

Even if they could drive away the Shadow Church with their large numbers, the militiamen would suffer heavy casualties.

So what Ryan said just now was sincere. He always repays kindness.

Moni's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said:

"There is no trouble in the construction of the branch hall, but there is still a little trouble in other matters. I wonder if Baron Lane can help us?"

"oh?"

Ryan raised his eyebrows, he was really in trouble. (End of chapter)
