    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    The moment Xie Xingchen got the mooncake machines, he upgraded them to the highest level without even thinking about it. After the upgrade, the 10 mooncake machines began to work conscientiously.

    One hour before the start of the event, Xie Xingchen got 900,000 random but equally delicious large mooncakes.

    How big is this big mooncake?

    Individual heads, each bigger than his face!

    Comparing the size of the mooncakes, Xie Xingchen pondered for a moment, and then... decisively increased the difficulty of the exchange.

    More than an hour before the start of the event, when everyone received a notice from the big boss that they would add "small moon cakes" in exchange—food and moon cakes, they were already crazy busy.

    Although it is not difficult to just add an exchange item, but after adding an exchange item, do you have to check + test?

    As a result, just as I was busy, the big boss came to inform me that I would increase the number of "small mooncake" item exchanges required for food and mooncakes.

    This time, everyone's expressions were indescribable.

    With just one glance, Xie Xingchen guessed what they were thinking.

    So he silently took a picture of the big moon cake and passed it on.

    When everyone saw the moon cake that was bigger than their own face, they lost their words for a moment.

    When they came back to their senses, they did not modify it according to Xie Xingchen's opinion, but gathered together to discuss, and finally discussed an exchange amount that was one-third higher than their own big boss - 4,000 small mooncake items to exchange for one food.Great mooncakes.

    At the same time, they also added a description of the size of the big mooncake in the text description of the exchange item.

    After Xie Xingchen saw it, he decisively gave a thumbs up and praised: "You are really sharp but petty-minded."

    Sure enough, in terms of ruthlessness, these players are still ruthless.

    They are professionals in cutting leeks!

    But... it seems that you can't say that?

    After all, if these foods are sold by the earth business, they will definitely be able to sell at a high price.

    Now there is hope to get it for free by relying on the liver, which is already a good news for the poor.

    For this reason, Xie Xingchen even asked the system specifically, and received a reply → If someone among the people who redeemed the Mid-Autumn Festival package (including grapefruit) did not recharge star coins (consumption), the grapefruit redeemed by TA will not be included in the lighting guidenumber of sales.

    Although Xie Xingchen received a lot of grapefruits, he wanted to "sell" more. If it was simply based on recharging and consumption, he was really not sure whether he could light up the illustration book with the grapefruits in the Mid-Autumn Festival gift bag.

    So in the end, Xie Xingchen put his mind on grapefruit leaves.

    Hey, it doesn't matter how you say it, grapefruit leaves are also derivatives of grapefruit trees.

    So he "sells" it, and the amount can naturally be counted in the lighting book.

    And grapefruit leaves are a good thing, whether you use it to take a bath to remove bad luck, or it has the effect of "regulating qi, moistening the lungs and clearing the intestines", it is very good!

    As long as there are few items required for exchange, Xie Xingchen can guarantee that everyone will love this item!

    Otherwise, just relying on "selling" grapefruit to "sell" the quantity of 500,000 is too much luck.

    After all—although Xie Xingchen is confident, who knows how many people will recharge until the last moment?

    6 star coins may not seem to be many, but there are even more zero-dollar parties.

    If you add grapefruit leaves, it will be safe.

    As long as the number of required props exchanged by Grapefruit Leaf is not high, there must be many people who exchanged them in the end, so he doesn't have to worry about the task of lighting up the illustrated book.

    Thinking of this, Xie Xingchen relaxed.

    ...

    20:30:00

    The game server was launched, and there was still half an hour before the official start of the game, but the tap water anchor of the Earth Trading Company, Alice, had already arrived at the login interface ahead of time.

    After accessing the holographic live broadcast device, Alice logged into the game a few minutes later than others.

    However, as soon as she logged in, she was fascinated by the beautiful castle-like "Miracle Girl" initial interface.

    The audience watching her live broadcast is unprecedentedly small.

    But it doesn't matter, Alice knows that it happened because everyone came to play the game.

    Therefore, Alice is also willful.

    She didn't care much about the live broadcast.

    Only interacted for a while at the beginning.

    Then he just threw out a sentence: "I want to play the game immersively, everyone please feel free, if you don't want to watch it, you can quit it."

    After finishing speaking, she really used the live broadcast as a recorder, and couldn't think of the viewers who were waiting in the live broadcast room.

    The game has not officially started yet.

    But Alice felt that she was busy all the time.

    She was first shocked by the luxurious castle in front of her, and then she was shocked by the cg of the game. In the end, she had to busy memorizing the rules of the game and exchanging them.

    The rules of the game are not difficult. To sum it up, there is only one point - complete the task and get a random number of random props (small mooncakes or little jade rabbits).

    And the redemption rules are simpler - use the props obtained by completing the tasks to exchange for prizes.

    The prizes are divided into two categories, one is the physical prizes exchanged with props "small moon cakes" - the number of prizes of this type is limited, first come first served, while stocks last.

    The other category is game virtual prizes, which can be redeemed with props "Little Jade Rabbits".

    In addition, there is a top-up activity, and you can get the virtual currency of the game—Little Stars.

    "Little Star" can purchase game clothing, accessories, decoration furniture, etc. in the game. If you recharge during the event period, you can also get a certain number of game props.

    And the most surprising thing is that this game does not have so-called "physical strength", as long as you have a spiritual liver, you can live from morning to night.

    This is very friendly to everyone's wallet.

    It's just...it's not very friendly to people with low levels of mental power.

    After all, it is your mental strength that supports your liver holographic activities.

    The level of mental power is poor, and the time to be online is naturally short.

    And a person with a high level of mental power, as long as he is willing, he can become the liver king of the game in minutes.

    Fortunately, Xie Xingchen is sympathetic to the players. In the game development route of "quantity" and "price" or a combination of the two, he prefers "quantity".

    Based on this consideration, 90% of the game skins and suits in "Wonder Girl" can be obtained without spending too much stars.

    After reading the introduction of the top-up activity, Alice sincerely said: "Thank you boss, it's so kind!"

    It's not kind.

    Obviously he can sell it at a high price, but he chooses to make only a little money, with such a mind and such courage...

    Two words: Absolutely!

    The most amazing thing is that this game actually has a "mail" service.

    That is to say - pay a certain postage fee, and after a certain period of time has passed, you can post your excess (not available when the quantity is only "1") to others.

    After seeing this function, the smart Alice immediately thought of something - the trading market.

    This is naturally a function born for the trading market!

    With this function, as long as the game is not too broken, its trading market is absolutely booming.

    ...

    Half an hour may seem like a long time, but it actually passed in a while.

    When Alice was still immersed in the various settings of the game, the countdown reminder appeared on the vast blue sky and white clouds.

    The white clouds are constantly changing numbers.

    When the beautiful and lovely white clouds turned into "10", the plants in the manor castle suddenly began to wither, and the castle gradually became old, as if it had been eroded by endless years in ancient times.

    Alice and the netizens who were watching her live broadcast stared dumbfounded at the dramatic changes in front of them.

    Alice, who opened her mouth unconsciously, did not close her mouth until she was transferred to a luxurious and beautiful bedroom.

    [Damn, what did that mean just now?Why did the beautiful castle suddenly become dilapidated and dilapidated?】

    [Is there a bug in the game?Otherwise, this phenomenon cannot be explained, right?】

    The barrage gushes out.

    Obviously, everyone is very concerned about the scene of the great change in the manor castle just now.

    However

    [It’s not a bug, you can go to Xing Bo to have a look, [Miracle Girl] made an announcement, they said that this is the original setting of the game, and it is one of the important parts of the game.】

    [Holy shit, isn't this a move from the Xingwang Mall?Decoration?It's so pitiful!】

    [Am I the only one who cares about why the anchor's initial room is so luxurious?Didn't it mean that this game has decoration elements?】

    "..."

    [Well, the official said, considering that some people may not like the "decoration" element, so for everyone's happiness, the initial room does not need everyone to decorate, the game will directly give the most gorgeous one, of course, if everyone wants to decoratealso can.】

    Everyone:?

    Wow, this really makes people don't know what to say.

    If everyone is in this room from the beginning, then everyone will naturally not feel that it is not good to decorate.

    But everyone's initial login page is the castle garden in the manor!

    Streams, lakes, flowers, cute little animals...the kind that has everything.

    I just watched the beautiful castle that looks like a fairy tale king's residence, and now look at this small, dilapidated and desolate manor, who can bear it?

    [6666 is such a deep routine!】

    [But I like how to break QAQ]

    【Me too... After all, there hasn't been a game in the Star Alliance that combines this kind of "decoration" + "dressup" elements.】

    [Ahem, just, very interesting.】

    Everyone was shocked by the opening scene.

    After a full ten minutes, no one reminded Alice that she should officially enter the game.

    When she came back to her senses, Alice still hadn't officially entered the event map.

    Alice is not that eager anchor.

    Rather than rushing into the game, she prefers to spend more time doing "pre-work".

    For example - understand the rules of the game, buy game packs in advance, etc.

    When she didn't know the details of the gift package just now, Alice couldn't help but want to buy it.

    Now that she knew the situation of the gift bag, her eyes lit up immediately.

    As long as she recharges 6 star coins, she can have a Mid-Autumn Festival skin.

    Although this skin is only the skin of the operation interface, but... 6 star coins, what bicycle do you need?

    As for the high-end atmospheric and high-grade holographic scene skin?

    Glancing at the lofty (Little Jade Rabbit) exchange column, tears of "touching" came to the corners of Alice's mouth.

    The supremacy of the audience is more expensive than the Chang'e suit that appeared in the CG. Just one glance makes people feel cold.

    In addition, what makes people feel even more chilled than them is the top one in the (small moon cake) exchange column.

    Looking at the words "10,000 small moon cakes" behind the lofty Mid-Autumn Festival gift box, everyone showed tired smiles.

    At once!it is good!difficult!

    Hey, sure enough, it is not easy to get the gift box from the Earth Trading Company.

    Only 10,000 small mooncake props can be exchanged for a gift box.

    Even if all recharge stalls are recharged once, the vacancies are quite large.

    After deducting the 6 star coins, the remaining top-up 18 star coins, 30 star coins, 64 star coins, 128 star coins, 328 star coins and 648 star coins will all give props.

    But "Little Mooncake" or "Little Jade Rabbit" can only choose one of the two, and 18 stars will get 18, 30 stars will get 30...by analogy, 648 stars will give 648 coins.

    The most frightening thing is that only the first charge is sent.

    If you rush again, it will be gone.

    This makes people who want to spend money to get gift bags dumbfounded.

    [Hahahaha, what are you thinking about, spending money to get gift bags?Think about how the earth business sold things before, when can you buy them with money?】

    【Daydream!There are 1200+ props in one recharge for all gears. On average, an item is only 1 star coin. The Mid-Autumn Festival gift box only needs 10,000 star coins. Is this 10,000 star coins?Want to win the Mid-Autumn Festival gift box with 10,000 star coins?Go back to sleep, the child, there is everything in the dream.】

    [Stop complaining, hurry up and get active, when you are complaining stupidly, others start to engage in activities.】

    [One thing to say, so early, the game item rankings are all out?Hahaha, Ouhuang appeared again. It took less than half an hour, and someone actually got 1800 "small moon cakes"?】

    Some anchors who still want to use gags to engage in some interaction and generate some traffic feel a sense of urgency when they hear that their props are still 0, and other people’s small mooncakes have actually exceeded 1800.

    Fuck, these animals.

    Get 1800 small mooncakes in less than half an hour?

    You can only get 1200+ pieces if you recharge all the gears once, right?

    Where did the extra 600 come from?

    Click on the item leaderboard.

    [Whale Falling Everything] found that not only someone got 1,800 small moon cakes, but the person who got 1,800 small moon cake props was also a very familiar host—Alice.

    Moreover, Alice not only occupied the top position in the "Little Mooncake Ranking List", she even got more than 200 "Little Jade Rabbit" props.

    Whale Falling Everything:?

    Where did Alice get so many props?

    [Whale Falling Everything] opened the control panel while making complaints.

    Even the control panel with Mid-Autumn Festival characteristics could not attract his attention.

    At this moment, his heart and eyes are full of the number of other people's props on the two prop rankings just now.

    No, he has to get into the game state quickly.

    With a flash of white light, [Whale Falling Everything] came to the Mid-Autumn Festival event map.

    As soon as he arrived at the main scene map of the event, [Whale Falling Everything] found that the textured silk pajamas he was wearing in the room had turned into brown and rough linen clothes.

    Looking up, he saw people in brown linen clothes all over the street.

    Occasionally, a few boys and girls dressed in white cotton cloth flashed past, they were all existences like stars and moons.

    Seeing this, [Whale Falling Everything] didn't hesitate at all, he decisively opened the control panel, found the [Wardrobe] column, and spent 10 stars to buy himself a set of white cotton robes.

    Immediately, he was added to the existence like the stars and the moon.

    But just when he wanted to pass through the crowd reservedly and proudly, everyone's whispers floated into his ears.

    "Here comes another little fool who doesn't even ask, but buys cotton-padded clothes as soon as he comes up."

    "Hahaha, the man in the cotton coat is a sign of a rich man! Now he can't accept the missions of NPCs."

    "And there is a time limit for changing clothes. I don't know about other places, but on this event map, he can change back to the sackcloth at least an hour later. Isn't this a waste of an hour?"

    After listening to these words [Whale Falling All Things Born] became stupid.

    He reopened the control panel, and then quickly clicked on the ugly short sackcloth that he had changed before, wanting to put on again.

    However

    [Dear player, in the event map, each player can only change clothes once an hour.】

    [After testing, you have changed your clothes 5 minutes ago, and the countdown to change clothes → 00:55:00!】

    Whale Falling Everything: Numb.

    Just now the crowd looked at those few people in cotton-padded clothes with envy and hatred. They were probably looking at fools.

    Now, he has also become a member of the fool.

    [Whale Falling Everything] With a mournful face, he showed the system prompts to the netizens in the live broadcast room.

    Seeing that he was so unlucky, the netizens in the live broadcast room laughed happily. In the end, this smart extinguishing operation actually brought his live broadcast room into flames.

    [Whale Falling Everything]: Painful yet happy!

    ...

    There are many people like [Whale Falling Everything].

    When I first entered the game, I was cheated a lot, and this wave is still cheating myself. Although the method is different, but the essence is the same, people can't help but laugh out loud.

    As the audience laughed louder and louder, the faces of industry insiders became more and more relaxed.

    When they first entered the initial interface and waited, many people watched the live broadcast room of these anchors to listen to their rule explanations.

    Especially the recharge commentary, everyone listened to it very carefully.

    When they knew that the highest recharge level of the Earth Commercial Bank was only 648 star coins, and that all recharge levels were only "first charge" to give away game props, the group of people in the industry who gathered together looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

    Sure enough, a layman is a layman.

    This level of recharge can only bluff outsiders.

    This is to keep the real charging points out.

    Thinking of this, the expressions on everyone's faces that looked like they were facing a formidable enemy disappeared.

    They easily gathered together to chat and drink.

    But as time passed, when they found "Miracle Girl" on the game sales list an hour later, this atmosphere disappeared.

    Although they didn't say it out loud, everyone was surprised.

    With this recharge setting, "Miracle Girl" can still hit the game sales list?

    But when you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem strange at all to have the Earth Trading Company's Mid-Autumn Festival gift package as a gimmick.

    Thinking of this, everyone calmed down again.

    It's just using the rare items of the earth trading company as carrots.

    Great, at most it can only be promoted to tenth, right?

    After all, the top ten game sales list is a peak that cannot be climbed.

    Those classic games have been firmly in the top ten for a long time.

    A new game that wants to break into the top ten?

    Everyone laughed and said nothing.

    Thinking they had figured out Xie Xingchen's purpose of saving the country with curves, everyone continued to relax and drink.

    As they guessed, "Wonder Girl" is stuck at No. 11.

    And can't move for several hours in this position.

    However, this relaxation is destined not to last long.

    Because it was the next afternoon.

    "Miracle Girl" slowly moved a position, and it squeezed into the tenth place.

    In less than a day since the service was launched, it has already entered the top ten sales charts!

    This achievement, even with the blessing of the earth business firm, caused an earthquake effect in the game circle.

    Everyone was flustered by the achievement of "Miracle Girl".

    Because this proves that someone has squeezed into an important seat to share the cake.

    However, the game "Miracle Girl", just like the "miracle" in its name, is destined to create miracles.

    That night, at exactly 24 hours after the server was launched, the moment the system updated the rankings, "Miracle Girl" slowly climbed to the ninth place on the game sales gold list.

    Its slow and strong ranking behavior has caused major game manufacturers to study the game's profit model.

    Is this a victory for the 6 Star Coin Party?

    Is it true that as long as the player base is large enough, the total recharge must be more than the sum of the players at the top of the pyramid?

    The theory of 6 star coins for game recharge, the bottom layer of the recharge ladder used to cultivate the zero-yuan party payment habit has actually been abandoned in StarCraft.

    After all, everyone has a payment habit these days, and there is no need to specially cultivate it.

    Moreover, Star Alliance citizens have good benefits, and the proportion of truly poor people is very small. The recharge level of 6 star coins is already too low.

    As for the players who feel that the recharge of 6 star coins is just right?

    Arrogant game companies feel that this is not the good player they need.

    Years of cognition have made the recharge level of the game no longer appear in single digits.

    Until now, Xie Xingchen broke their cognition.

    The next day, "Miracle Girl" climbed to the eighth place on the sales gold list.

    For a new tour, this location is shocking enough.

    After all, this sales gold list is a weekly list, not a daily list.

    And "Miracle Girl" has only been online for 2 days.

    It can be ranked eighth only by counting the income of 2 days. As long as she doesn't pull her hips too much, she will definitely be in the top five after 7 days.

    The reality is not as good as they imagined.

    Because it has not been a week, to be precise, it should be on the afternoon of the third day after the "Miracle Girl" server opened, and with 5 hours left before the end of the event, "Miracle Girl" rushed to the top five positions on the sales gold list, and thisIt is foreseeable that the position will continue to improve after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

    It was because Xie Xingchen launched the exchange service for star coins and game coins.

    This is the first time in game history that game currency can be exchanged for real currency!

    It caused a strong onlooker from the crowd.

    It also makes those who don't understand why Xie Xingchen set the game currency: real currency exchange ratio to 1:1 suddenly realize.

    No wonder he chose the 1:1 exchange rate when the 1:10 exchange rate was popular.

    It turned out that he was preparing for the exchange of virtual game currency for real currency later.

    Although a 5% handling fee will be deducted for exchanging virtual currency for real currency, but... once the virtual currency is linked to real currency, it means that the game can legally make money.

    Rich people naturally don't care, but for some people whose lives are difficult, this is a great thing!

    So it is conceivable how many players will flood in and stay permanently when there is only such a game that can be exchanged for money in the entire industry.

    And the game activity brought by these players will make other paying players more willing to stay in this popular game.

    This is a good virtuous circle.

    "Fuck, why is that Xie Xingchen thinking so much?"

    "How does he have such a long-sighted mind? Can't he hold a handful of rice?"

    "..."

    "What shall we do this time? How about learning from others' strengths?"

    The head of the game company with a sad face looked at the number of players in his house that had fallen to the bottom, and couldn't help asking questions.
