Chapter 354: Gold Collection Frenzy
Jiang Bai looked at the gold coins in his bag, which had just exceeded 200. He had planned to withdraw some to send home, but now he hesitated.
"It's obvious. If we exclude a series of nonsense factors such as pyramid schemes, passing the parcel, and fraud, then there is only one reason to explain these behaviors."
"That is, the gold coins in the game are more valuable, or in other words, the gold coins in the game have hidden functions far higher than value exchange?"
"Fuck!"
Thinking of this, Jiang Bai was shocked.
"Is that true?"
"Could there be any other magical uses for gold coins?"
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the 1w:1 ratio when the server was first launched. In the first few days of the server launch, many losers became rich overnight and achieved a reversal of life.
At that time, everyone thought that the gold coins would definitely depreciate, and the game company would go bankrupt sooner or later, so some players always withdrew some of their earnings.
Now it's the opposite.
Not only did the game company not go bankrupt, but it also closed the recharge channel. Not only did the gold coins not depreciate, but they continued to appreciate.
Who could have thought of this?
"Is there something wrong with this?"
Somehow, Jiang Bai, who was thinking about it, suddenly recalled the strange scene of Abidal hanging on the wall.
Think about Abidal's explanation later.
"Is it really like that?"
...
In the game, in an ordinary hot pot restaurant.
The sad panda was holding a piece of tripe with chopsticks and stirring it in the steaming pot.
Sitting opposite him was an iceberg beauty wearing a black tight leather jacket and burgundy hair.
"Sister Lei, the whole world is discussing the price of gold now."
The panda narrowed her eyes, stared at the tripe held by chopsticks, and said something seemingly casually.
"And then?"
The iceberg beauty shook an orange juice in her hand absentmindedly. As the hot steam dissipated from time to time, the iceberg beauty's ID gradually revealed itself.
"Xue Xiaolei"!
She slowly raised her head and asked the panda with a smile.
"No..."
Panda put the cooked tripe on the plate, not caring to eat, and asked anxiously.
"Sister Lei, please tell me the truth, what's the meaning? We have collected thousands of gold coins in this day, and we spend money like water, what's the meaning?"
"I hate it most when you senior executives do things in a mysterious way, right?"
Looking at Panda who was looking at him expectantly.
Xue Xiaolei just shook her head indifferently.
"I don't know either."
"But you should use your brain."
As she said, Xue Xiaolei picked up the chopsticks with her fair and slender hands and picked up a piece of pig brain for Panda.
"Why don't you interpret the system announcement from another perspective?"
"What do you mean?"
Panda took the pig brain and prepared to make fun of it.
The corners of Xue Xiaolei's mouth rose slightly, and her red lips drew a beautiful and attractive arc.
"Officially stopping the recharge channel means that gold coins will no longer be produced in any other way except for the real game content. If these gold coins are just a line of code or a string of data from the game company, will they do this?"
"Then..."
Panda raised his sesame-like eyes and wanted to ask more, but the iceberg beauty opposite him got up and left directly.
"Hey, don't go, Sister Lei..."
After Xue Xiaolei left, Panda sat there staring at the pig brain bubbling in the butter soup. He was stunned for a long time and finally tasted a sentence.
"So, in the game, real currency is really a pile of waste paper?"
...
"Collect gold coins?"
Similarly, looking at the soul questions sent by Datang Wuzui and Wobenbuyi, Jiang Bai was also in a dilemma.
"These two days, those super guilds are like crazy, and I don't know who started it first. More and more big guilds have started to collect gold coins. Damn, ask them what's going on. Guess what they say?"
"What do they say?"
Jiang Bai replied to Datang Wuzui.
"Damn, they said they didn't know why they were collecting, but they just followed suit when they saw others collecting. These people really eat shit until it's hot and smoking, which makes me panic." Jiang Bai stared at Wuzui's words for a long time, and then asked. "Have you heard any other news?" "No." Datang Wuzui replied quickly. "After all, we can't get to the top. The most confidential information is really airtight. There is no trust at all. However, since the announcement, there are indeed many big guys in the real world who are madly recharging into the game." "Hey! Guess what happened?" "Don't talk nonsense, let's talk about business." Jiang Bai didn't have time to talk nonsense with Wuzui at the moment. "Many big guys are actually restricted from recharging! That means they have reached the limit of the system. Damn, this is really unbelievable." Wuzui's words are not unreasonable. "Wait for me." As he said, Jiang Bai opened the avatar of the guy who had the most accurate and fastest information in the friend list and sent a message. "I have something to ask you, why are you collecting gold coins now?"
Hot pot restaurant.
Panda, who was eating and sweating, looked at Jiang Bai's words.
After a long silence, his eyes flickered.
"In theory, I am just giving you some guidance, which should not be considered a violation."
Thinking about it, Panda replied to Jiang Bai with a simple word.
"Collect!"
"Although I don't know why, I suggest you collect it!"
"Collect!"
After getting the answer from Panda, Jiang Bai also replied to Wuzui.
Although they were just friends in the game, and even had interests, Jiang Bai inexplicably trusted Panda this time.
There was no reason, no cause, perhaps it was instinctive out of a man's intuition...
"But don't go too far. I think it's better to follow the trend and collect some, and keep it as a reserve. After all, I don't know what's going on. If you get cheated, there's still some room."
"And you must operate it as a personal behavior, and keep the gold coins you collect by yourself."
After explaining to Wuzui, Jiang Bai glanced at the number of 208 gold coins in his bag again, and planned not to withdraw cash this time.
It took the time of a cigarette to stop his chaotic thoughts. Jiang Bai sat in the corner of the door of the ancient elves, ready to exchange for the purple professional nameplate and have a good shot.
...
In the deepest part of the ground, there is a mysterious laboratory of the world's top scientists.
Scientists of different skin colors stared at the large screen in the control center and operated quickly. A white-haired old man sat in the command room in the middle of the hall, listening to his subordinates' reports.
"How is the progress?"
The old voice interrupted the subordinate's report and asked.
"Basically, everyone who can enter has entered, with an entry rate of 97.14%, including the elderly and minors, except for those special groups who really cannot enter the game."
The flat-headed young man reported truthfully.
"There are nearly 3%?"
The old man's eyes slightly closed, thinking about everything.
"There is nothing we can do about it."
The flat-headed young man looked at the old man and said in a comforting tone.
"You also know that now is the time of survival of the fittest, and they are destined to be eliminated."
