This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 296 People are not ancient!

   A herd of cattle and horses.

   Today is more lively than usual.

  Although many of these players made an appointment early, in fact, less than one-fifth of the people actually entered the game, and more people still ordered an appointment and watched the fun.

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

   "Hey! I didn't find it!"

   "It's awesome! I saw a big guy hang up 800 silver coins just now! 40,000 yuan has been sold!"

   "Fuck!"

   "@dog management, did you do it!"

   Mengxin definitely can't come up with so much money.

   Although they have never entered the game, they often watch the dog management bragging about it, and they still have a good understanding of the situation in the game.

  No one came out to claim the deal.

  The chat was quickly swiped.

   But chatting and chatting, management still popped up.

  Ye Ten: "Brothers."

  Quitting Smoking: "What's the matter?"

  Ye Ten: "I want to play professionally."

  Quit Smoking: "?"

  Old Bai: "..."

   Gale: "..."

  Square: "Squint."

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

   Fang Chang: "No, I just want to ask, which 'amateur player' is online for 12 hours a day on average. (Squint

  Quit Smoking: "Hahaha, I also want to complain, this is not even a profession, so what is a profession?"

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Very good! Very energetic! Come and fly with me, it's so cool! (Screaming teeth

  Ye Ten: "Go go go!"

  ④Who understands: "Hey, I'm so excited... If you earn 100 silver coins a day, isn't that 5,000 a day? Hey! I should have filled out the form with you back then!"

  Tomato scrambled eggs: "This price fluctuation is a bit outrageous, do you think someone will use this thing to launder money?"

Fang Chang: "emmm...I don't know how to use the keyboard to wash, but in reality, money laundering needs to meet three conditions at the same time - difficult to track, large enough transaction volume, and highly controlled by the dealer. Obviously, "Wasteland OL" these three conditions None of the conditions are met.”

  The platform itself does not provide payment tools. Money laundering is not called money laundering by exchanging USD into Zimbabwe currency, but turning illegal income into legal income. The anonymity of "Wasteland OL" is anonymity for players. A uses the banking system and B to transfer money to purchase game equipment, which is a hammer for the bank's anonymity.

   As for the transaction volume, let alone the transaction volume, the transaction volume of less than a few million silver coins in total is close to 200%, not to mention how much can be laundered, even if the facts are aside, which fool would use someone else's plate to launder money?

Before the Fed releases water, we have to take a look. Operators "smashing the market" is not a matter of adjusting data with their fingers, giving you 100 million silver coins, and then locking the account with "abnormal transactions", holding the numbers themselves. Let's play single player.

   After washing, I really went to wash the dishes.

   Using game equipment to launder money is more magical than using US stocks to launder money. After all, 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 it is "game equipment" outside the game. The circulation of this thing is adjustable in the hands of the operator. Today, you exchange one million dollars for one million A silver coin or a piece of gaming gear may be worth a hundred dollars tomorrow for a million dollars.

   Unless the operator cooperates with you.

   But think about it with a little brain cells, people are guarding a B round of reservations and the number of people has exceeded one million gold mines, why should they cooperate with your business of washing dishes?

   Obviously, the helmet can be delivered to the player's hands, and the official website can be accessed normally until now, even without the written permission of the official organization, at least it has been tacitly approved to a certain extent.

   But Scrambled Egg is a chef after all, so it’s normal to think a little narrower. Most people know how to write the word money laundering at most. Who really knows what the operation process of this thing is.

Fang Chang: "This time Beta0.2 is actually very interesting, the official did not directly set the price of silver coins, but allowed players to freely consign, and even the handling fee was charged in silver coins, obviously the operator of "Wasteland OL" did not. I plan to use this platform to make money. Many of you must have already made some wool, but I don’t know if you have ever thought about the official motive for doing this.”

   Ye Wei, who was holding the phone, blushed.

   Honestly, he hadn't really thought about these things.

   "What is..."

Fang Chang: "The original intention of the Nasdaq exchange was to regulate the chaotic OTC market in the United States and provide financing channels for small businesses. The offline trading of silver coins has always existed, but the scale is small and no one has disclosed it, etc. After the increase in the number of players, there will definitely be some people who will engage in trading platforms like IGXE outside the forum, and now it is equivalent to the official making this platform. It is safer for players, the price is more transparent, and it is beneficial for the official to supervise.”

   "In addition to regulating the market, it is to allow the A-round players to realize part of the game revenue. Although it sounds strange, it is true that the game company is giving us red envelopes."

   And the amount of red envelopes is not small.

   As long as you don't have a problem with your own brain and hang up 100 silver coins and 1 cent, when the previous trading platform was just launched, everyone made a little bit of money.

   especially that crow.

   One silver coin was exchanged for one bitcoin, and I don’t know which idiot took the big buck.

  Everyone took the initiative to express that they wanted to pay it back, but they didn't see that person coming out to claim it.

   can only be said to do charity.

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Do you think there are some fools who sell equipment for silver coins? (funny

  Fang Chang: "Fools exist at any time, but there is a common sense here. Whether it is selling their equipment or taking more conservative actions in the game, they will cause themselves to fall 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, and cloud players will pay more attention to the land price, equipment price, and economic trends of the new alliance, and they will even write according to the clues we provide. Raiders, and indirect investment in in-game industries through other players holding game assets on behalf of others.”

Not everyone in the Age of Voyages has actually been to the colonies, and most people may have only read a few lines in the newspapers, but that doesn't prevent a certain London physics professor and mint director from possibly holding the colonial company's stock.

  The silver coin trading platform is set up with any form of assets.

  In addition to real assets, of course, it also supports trading 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 there are many black technologies in the game, and the batteries on the exoskeleton are all solid hydrogen, the most basic railway and communication facilities are still at the level of World War II.

   “Wasteland OL”, which is still in the B round stage, still has unlimited potential, and these are all 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 put more silver coins into improving their level and combat power. In terms of value, especially the newly released trading system and corps system! These two systems will burn a lot of money, but the rewards will also be huge!"

"The B round test will become a shuffle, and the players in the A round will cash out a part of the income according to their contributions in the A round. In the same way, the B round players will see the income of the A round players, and they will pay more before the dividends of the C round. Efforts to upgrade."

   "To sum up, everyone has idle silver coins to sell, giving new people a chance and gaming experience, and by the way, they can 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 your contribution points and sequence level. Excessive overdraft will lead to your exit in the B round, and your position will be replaced by a new shareholder. The dividends from the C round are none of your business.”

"In addition, pay a little attention when trading. Although there are many game equipment trading platforms, there is no law that makes it illegal to resell game equipment, and no one will care about small 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 Changyu said a lot of heartfelt words, and Ye Wei always felt that half of them were to himself, especially the last sentence.

   But he felt that this old man cared a little too much.

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

   Even the farmer knows to save the seeds for spring ploughing, not to mention that he has played the game for so many years. His understanding of equipment trading rules and real-life cases is much higher than that of some little whites who just randomly analyze it.

   Just when Ye Wei took out a pen and paper and calculated how many silver coins would be suitable for consignment, he suddenly noticed that someone in the small group had Aite himself.

  There are only four people in the small group, and they just posted a lot of square footage in the large group, and came here again to Aite the whole group.

  Ye Wei was about to ask what he was doing when Fang Chang followed the message in the group chat, which made him hold his breath involuntarily.

  Fang Chang: "I discussed it with Lao Bai. The Niuma Brick Factory has been operating for nearly half a year now, and we have never shared a profit. Taking advantage of the launch of the trading platform, we can just divide it into a wave."

   Dividends!

   Ye Wei almost forgot about it.

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

Since the sanctuary holds 80% of the shares, dividends are actually a very bad thing. If you use the earned silver coins to buy equipment and land, you 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 of testing until now, no silver coins have been divided.

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

Fang Chang: "...the silver coins should be credited within two hours. Although I am optimistic about the long-term value of "Wasteland Online", the value of Second Life cannot be measured by worldly money, but the price of silver coins will definitely fluctuate in the short term. back down."

   "There are a lot of people in the group. I didn't say what I said too directly. It will not affect the screenshots on the forum, so I will say a few more words here."

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

   "The rest of the toss."

  …

  The second day of the Beta0.2 release.

   He was busy all day during the day, and as soon as he put on his helmet and lay down at night, Zhang Hai found that the sky had changed directly in the game.

   Originally, everyone came to him to eat noodles as soon as he went online. Today, they all went to buy that Dediwei nutritional cream and the green wheat cakes made by the residents of Beit Street.

   There was a long line at the entrance of the NPC shop, and the leader and tail of the line were invisible.

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

   "People's hearts are not ancient!"

   "These gangsters! As for what? Is there nothing else in sight except money?"

  The old customer who happened to pass by heard this complaint and couldn't help spraying.

  Ye Ten: "MMP! Are you embarrassed!"

  Irena: "Just what you sell is the most expensive!"

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

  The fleeing mole rat in the canyon: "That's right! Boss Crow has a big chest! He speaks nicely! What do you have?"

   Zhang Hai's stinky temper and his mouth are poisonous enough, so he went back with a loss on the spot.

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

  Ye Shi: "Go away!"

  Quit Smoking: "Ouch!"

   The nutrient cream on my hand is not fragrant in an instant.

   Seeing that the customers were disgusted and walked away.

   Zhang Hai began to regret it. Customers are God, and he shouldn't be quick in the game.

   "It's not the way to go on like this."

   Seeing that no one came to buy it, Zhang Hai had no choice but to secretly change the price on the wooden board to 5 silver coins when he saw the foam in the pot churning.

   "Someone should buy it this time, right?"

   However, it backfired and had no effect.

   Zhang Hai could only have a dark face, wiped the 5 he just wrote, and daringly wrote a 4.

  100% profit!

   It’s a big loss!

   Zhang Hai was dripping blood with heartache.

   However, perhaps because of the price reduction, perhaps because the dog planned to see him as pitiful, but there were more NPC guests today.

   There were people who came to try the early adopters after seeing the price cut, and those who brought their children and wives to dinner together. Finally, there were more faces other than players in his booth.

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

  Because the price was a little cheaper than before, in the evening, there were more and more guests, and in the end he was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest.

   But the NPC will never urge him, after all, he can't understand urging.

   He had been busy until half an hour after lunch, and Zhang Hai had to take a break.

  Although the group was tired, a smile appeared on Zhang Hai's tired face as he watched the NPCs gobble up his noodles and the hard-earned silver coins in the drawer.

Maybe……

   You should hire a guy yourself.

   Go to the farm and open two branches.

  Version is changing.

   He also had to make a little change.

   Just when Zhang Hai was thinking about the future, there was a careless shout at the door of the store.

   "Old Man Zhang! Come to a bowl of noodles!"

   "Fuck you, how old is Laozi!" Zhang Hai didn't even look at it, his eyes stared straight at him, "Look at Laozi's face, at most twenty years old!"

  Sth, who was standing beside him, twitched his tail.

   "Awei, that's rude, and how do you know how old they are, in case it's a younger brother?"

  Tail replied in an old-fashioned manner.

   "Si, you don't understand this. Which young man will use his real name as a screen name, and which young man will be anxious when he is called an old man?"

   "I am your father."

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

  Lightspeed Payment's tail slipped and sat on the chair. He couldn't wait to pull out the chopsticks from the wooden barrel, but just as he was about to start, he screamed.

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

   Zhang Hai said with a stern face.

   "The price has dropped, is it strange that the quantity is less?"

  Tail said pitifully.

   "But, why does Sisi have more bowls than me!"

   "Hand swipe."

   "Damn! This wicked capitalist!" Tail sighed and shook his head, muttering, "Hey, since this is the last bowl of noodles, Tail won't care about you."

   Zhang Hai's meat-cutting hand stopped and glanced at this lively little girl.

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

   "How is that possible! It's only Beta0.2!" Tails said with a smile, "This game is getting more and more interesting, right?"

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

"Tail wants to open a mercenary union! The mercenary union needs funds, so Tai decides to go on a trip with Si Si!" Tails said with shining eyes, "And sesame paste and meat! We have an appointment to leave tomorrow! "

   "Don't say superfluous words."

  Siss taught the tail lightly with a small fist holding chopsticks, cleared his throat in the latter's scream of "Aah", and explained calmly.

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

  Zhang Haiyu sighed earnestly: "You guys, still have to be moderate... What's the point of krypton gold, isn't it good to enjoy the game normally?"

  Tail said unhappily.

   "Retired old man don't talk!"

   "Which of your eyes saw Lao Tzu retired!"

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

   "Go away after eating!"

  …

It has been three days since the   Beta 0.2 version was launched, and it is not just the Niu Ma team that sells silver coins.

  How to throw?

   Of course, each has its own way of throwing.

  Although there is no such thing as a candlestick chart in the silver coin consignment sale, the pending orders of historical transactions are open and transparent, and you can fine-tune it up and down according to the price of others. This is no essential difference from CSgo's jewelry transaction.

   If you feel troublesome, you can directly mark a silver coin for one dollar and throw a ten or twenty thousand silver coins on it.

   If you don’t mind the trouble, you can also split it into several or even dozens of small orders of 100 silver coins, and hang them at 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000...

   This will be slower, but 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 this happened under someone's nose.

   "Hehe, clever little slicker."

   Looking at the transaction records in the background and the skyrocketing number of reservations, Chu Guang, who was watching the play drinking Nuka-Cola, smiled.

   Brother Fang is estimated to have played the US stock market, and he is very proficient in playing with highs and lows during the day.

   The big order fell to single digits, and then I secretly placed a small order to pick it up. It oscillated back and forth a few times, and even my good brothers helped out with the help of the silver coins. It is estimated that they are counting money now.

  Some people sent private messages to inquire about his background and wanted to talk to him straight to the point.

  Talk?

   Talk about a hammer.

   "Fallen Empire" and "Interstellar Natives" what to talk about.

   Sanctuary is the last stubbornness of the Human Federation. When there is a problem with Chu Guang's mind, he will use the helpless means of "showdown" to ask for cooperation when the other party can completely misunderstand him as an extraterrestrial civilization or other high-level existence.

  What does the dimensionality reduction strike in the information domain mean?

   Power outage? disconnected?

   That's all pediatrics.

When Xiao Qi sneezes, he can upgrade the version of Earth in the parallel world. The "Second World" has become the "Only Paradise", and the way to save the world is hidden in the game of higher civilization. Add these physical settings to the game's official website. Come on, do you play such a game?

  The five good people will rush to play.

   Not clicking "cross-border act" does not mean that this option does not exist, but that there is an option that is more appropriate and more in line with his moral code.

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

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

   Legacy from higher civilizations.

   The beneficiaries are more than individuals.

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

   The new alliance is one of the successors of the People's Alliance, so this manager should not be ashamed?

   As for the volatility of the silver coin market, what does Chu Guang think?

  Sit and watch, of course.

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

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

   Is it worth it?

   Is a +999 Dragon Slayer Sword worth it for a suite? Is Metaverse real estate worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?

  Shanggang's talk on the line, which virtual things are not waste paper?

   At least silver coins can really buy land that can be built freely in wasteland OL, not a paper model of fooling people.

   I think you are a rational person.

   and feel that it is impossible, it only means that there are too few.

  The development of the new alliance from a wilderness to its current scale is inseparable from the efforts of generations of version players. Now that "Wasteland Online" has successfully operated to the Beta stage, Chu Guang will of course give some benefits to those who have helped him.

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

   But Fang Chang was only half right.

  The original intention of Chuguang to develop this platform really did not think of earning waste paper in another world, but it was not just to distribute dividends to the beta test players and regulate over-the-counter transactions, there were two other deeper purposes.

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

  The former will make players more motivated to do tasks, and more actively participate in the Corps system and trade system he planned.

   And 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 with extremely low taxes and land rents.

   There is no such high profit!

  It can be sold so expensively, all of which are used by high-income players.

   As the level increases, high-level players have too many silver coins, and they can’t be consumed by buying equipment alone. Ordinary aborigines with a daily income of just over 10 silver coins are difficult to consume products that players "price themselves". After all, no matter how their income increases, they will never be able to outperform "undead" players.

  The players themselves have formed a closed economic cycle. They are in fact the nobles or knights of the new alliance. If there is no administrative intervention, the risk of exporting inflation to the national NPC market will always accumulate.

  How to release risk?

   Establishing an official silver coin trading channel and assigning a value to the silver coin was just the first card that Chu Guang played.

   The liquidity of rolling in the closed loop will be released 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, runners or other places, entering a virtuous circle.

And those players who are joking and shouting "it's too expensive, two bowls" will also consider the amount of money more seriously, 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 reverence for their own currency, and the gentry possess unimaginable wealth but do not use it where it should be used, the risk is far more than just inflation.

  The new alliance already has more than 1,000 players, and more will be qualified for the beta test in the future.

   The sooner these issues are resolved, the better.

"... The Niu Ma Brick Factory, which has never paid dividends, has finally paid dividends, and the No. 81 Iron and Steel Factory has also paid dividends. Some of the silver coins deposited on the book flowed out of the game, and some went to other players, but most of them entered the new alliance. The treasury. The problem of inflation and the fiscal deficit is solved together.”

"New players can also get a better game experience. In addition to spending time and equipment, they can also take shortcuts when the price of silver coins falls. Players with high tiers have solved life problems and can put more energy into it. to the game."

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

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

   It is impossible to count how many times you have won.

   In short, it is a win-win situation.

   "But the master...why do those who obviously can't enter the game buy game coins?" Xiao Qi was confused.

   This kind of confusion is the same as when it faces those snails who are "obviously weak but have to come over to test it with tentacles".

  Zi took a sip of the cold drink, and Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa, replied casually.

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

   Those who can get game qualifications are adults, and adults should be responsible for their own behavior. He is a manager, not a nanny.

   A small player spent 200,000 to swept 20,000 silver coins, and the largest transaction was to buy 800 silver coins with 40,000 yuan.

   If she took all of it to buy ramen, it would definitely be a blood loss.

   But what if you buy nutrient paste and ship it to a plantation in the south, or change it to a weapon and ship it to Honghe Town?

  20,000 silver coins is far more than 20,000.

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

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

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

  Chu Guang said easily.

"Prices will move towards consensus in divergences, and divergences in consensus. Increased volume is the beginning of a reversal, and shrinking is the end of a 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 needs to save the market, and it's too easy to make it go up, I will directly post a full set of solid-state hydrogen technology on the official website, the kind that includes ten 'study abroad' places, and the price is 100 million silver coins, you Guess how much the silver coin is worth?"

   "Think about how much garbage and how many steamed buns we picked up for the Pioneer for the "magnetically confined plasma cutting machine", and now look back to see if the deal was worth it."

   "You can't just look at the surface when looking at a problem."

  ——

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