Of course, these peopleâs actions were not purely a waste.
In fact, after Lincoln reviewed this issue of Metropolitan News, he checked the background data and had already noticed this phenomenon.
Before the video was released, he had been discussing with Randallâs âAssassinsâ Allianceâ operation team about launching a âreal estate investment systemâ centered around virtual real estate.
The key to this system was to make playersâ actions of buying property more interesting and entertaining.
Not only could players lease out the real estate they owned to obtain profits.
But also, they could adjust the value of the property, according to factors such as fluctuations in the number of online players within a week, and the proportion of property purchase positions by players.
In other words, playersâ properties would liven up, becoming a new game mechanism â virtual speculation!
They might make a fortune and quickly become rich, or the price might plummet, and assets would shrink!
Even after owning the first property, the new system would allow you to mortgage your property at Metropolis Bank and use the loan to buy a new one!
But that would be leveraging, which means increasing risk!
If the volatility was too severe, and the playerâs leverage was too high, and they had bad luck, it would lead to insolvency, and then Metropolis Bank would directly seize your property.
In other words â instant bankruptcy!
This would let players experience just how wild and cruel a free and random market can be!
Even Cloud Dream Official wouldnât know next weekâs property prices per square meter, are you scared now!
All these boiling and noisy events couldnât disturb Shuihua.
In âAssassinsâ Allianceâ, she was just a casual player, with little time to play due to preparing for college entrance examinations, and she mainly asked Lance to help with the main storyline.
She hadnât even saved enough money to buy a house yet.
It wasnât too difficult for Shuihua to slip out of school.
Because she and Princessâs headbands were the only two Mirage 2.os with Focus Mode. After informing her parents, they immediately verified it, and then arranged for her to attend school as a day student without saying anything else.
Otherwise, how could she bring the Mirage console into her dormitory?
Not to mention the lack of Internet connection and difficulties in maintaining confidentiality!
As for Shuihua repeatedly asking her parents to keep it a secret â come on, who would be silly enough to let such things out?
Using the excuse of âwanting to study more efficiently,â Shuihua easily persuaded her parents and sneaked back to her room.
Turned on the console, put on the headband, and started!
In just a moment of trance, Shuihua entered the virtual world, then immediately jumped into the âLight Encounterâ World.
For Shuihua, who had watched the entire process, the tutorial level was too simple, and she didnât even bother to look at the murals again. f(r)eeweb(n)ovel
She bounced and ran through the cave, climbed the cliffs with great effort, grabbed the hidden little golden figure, and then leaped to get the next golden figure.
â Video uploaders had already released the locations of some hidden golden figures in the previous levels.
Video uploaders are such contradictory creatures, sometimes trying to be the first to taste hot traffic, they could complete live streaming, playing games, editing, processing, uploading, and other tasks within six hours.
But sometimes, they would suddenly stop updating for months or even half a year due to some inexplicable reasons, only to release a new video after a long time.
On her way home, Shuihua didnât forget to watch a few videos and take note of the locations of some hard-to-find golden figures.
The gameâs mechanics were already basically understood by the first batch of players. After Shuihua cleared Dawn Island and arrived at Cloud Wilds, she didnât rush forward but opened the panel and directly chose to exit the level.
Then she successfully arrived at a special hub map â âYu environmentâ.
This was the place where, in the trailer, the protagonist of âTraveler of the Windâ took off and saw in the air.
Not only can players quickly travel to various maps through a teleportation gate here, but they can also change their appearance and exchange various types of magic and rewards.
Of course, the most crucial point is that this place is also a hub for players. Many players gather and chat here.
Do you think Shuihua skipped evening study to start her journey quickly, eager to see the beautiful scenery of the new world?
No, if that were the case, she wouldnât have skipped evening study.
Her excitement lies in the unique chatting mechanism with strangers in âLight Encounterâ!
Shuihua loves meeting and chatting with strangers on the internet!
After players enter the game, their appearance is somewhat cartoony. With their peculiar hairstyles and headwear, no one can recognize them unless they have a distinctive appearance.
Moreover, due to this collective cartoonization, everyone looks younger, and itâs challenging to determine their age based on appearance alone.
As for heightâŠ
Height can be adjusted by purchasing services with candles in this game.
So itâs true; you canât know who the person opposite you is without chatting with them.
Shuihua loves this way of playing!
She feels like she could sit here and chat with strangers all day!
But before that, she needs to see what kind of appearance she can adopt. If itâs the initial appearance, sheâs worried that she wonât make friends.
Shuihua goes up to each interactive item and NPC to see what options she has available to exchange.
Then she is surprised to find that Cloud Dream has prepared three basic options for all replaceable appearances â hairstyles, headwear, cloaks, tops, bottoms, shoes, toys, etc. for the players.
Players can personalize their appearance to some extent at the beginning of the game.
Moreover, âTraveler of the Windâ players can also get a red cloak with a scarf the same outfit worn by the protagonist of âTraveler of the Wind.â
If you also purchased âAssassinsâ Alliance,â you would have an infinitely usable âloomâ in your inventory.
As long as you place it and sit in front of it, you will naturally understand how to weave.
This is, of course, thanks to the neural modulator-demodulator.
Many unique reward items are only made possible by the presence of the neural modulator-demodulator.
Most notably, there are musical instruments, which can be purchased in two levels: The first level is cheap, but does not come with skills, so it can only be used for decoration or playing around. The second level is much more expensive, but once purchased, the player will automatically know how to play the instrument â limited to one song since the neural modulator-demodulator canât really instill knowledge of music into a playerâs brain.
The player can only play the instrument thanks to the specially created code, with each song representing a separate set of codes.
After Shuihua changed into a white explosive hairstyle and golden cloak, she started playing the loom like a piano.
Her antics immediately attracted the attention of strangers, who began to bounce around her excitedly. Many of them held up candles to light her up, trying to make friends with her.
Since itâs the first day of the gameâs release, everyone is eager to make friends.
However, Shuihua had just passed the first level and had a limited number of candles. Seeing so many people wanting to be friends with her, she was suddenly torn.
She didnât want to spend all her candles at onceâŠ
As Shuihua was hesitating, another little black figure suddenly jumped out.
The little figure took out a small violin and started playing it with gusto. The instrument, usually associated with elegance and grandeur, was now filled with joy and bounce.
Shuihua no longer hesitated and pulled out a candle to make friends with this player.
â Being able to play the violin now, this person must be a boss!
