Zhang Heng opened his eyes and found himself standing on a luxury cruise ship, wearing a black tuxedo that fits perfectly, while a badge was hung on his chest with his player number and registration point printed on it.

Zhang Heng looked at the starfish on his wrist. The time now is 22: 00, which means the auction will be over at 23: 00. He doesn't have to worry about whether the time bug on his body will cause any more accidents.

Unlike previous rounds of games, there was nothing dangerous about this copy, so Zhang Heng's mentality was relaxed. He looked around and found that the situation was similar to that at the game point, he could see the players around him, but could not remember what they looked like.

The Game Organizing Committee has always done a good job of protecting privacy, but it also seems to indicate from some side that the relationship between players is not always so harmonious.

“First time at an auction?” Zhang Heng's ear heard a voice, and he turned his head and saw a short man behind him.

The latter handed over a business card, although Ding Si above was clearly a pseudonym.

Shorty man shrugged, “I can't help it, the world hasn't been peaceful lately, some lunatics have always disobeyed the rules, so everyone has to be careful. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“You must be a new player.” Short man, “before some time the atmosphere between players was pretty good, the same city's metropolitan area will keep contact with each other, after all, it is not easy to survive from every round of games, everyone is willing to help each other, but then some heartbroken guys used this information to hunt other players, causing people to panic, so everyone is now paying special attention to privacy information, as far as I know, this auction at the end of the year is a lot smaller than before. ”

“Hunting?” Zhang Heng saw the title of the contact in the North China area of the Fulou Chamber of Commerce below the business card.

“Yeah, someone always wants to earn it without knowing which guy found it first. Killing other players not only robs each other of their game props, but also inherits the other's game points, and then the situation gets worse every day. ”

“Doesn't the Organizing Committee care? ”

“In principle, as long as the game is not disclosed to others, the organizing committee will not be involved in the dispute between the players, and they also seem to have headaches...” Ding Si's last sentence is somewhat ambiguous, he obviously doesn't want to continue the topic, turning around, “You should be ready to buy some props and equipment yourself, if you don't have enough points on hand, you can consider us. ”

“What, the Chamber of Commerce still sells points? ”

“You are a newcomer," Ding Sidao said, "not just our Fortune House, many chambers of commerce will offer similar business, you can buy points directly from us, but I do not recommend that you do so because the auction is now high exchange rate, redeeming 1 point points costs 42,000 RMB, normally only about 37,000, so the better way is to mortgage your props to us, we will lend them as soon as we assess the value. ”

“Thank you, I'll consider it if I need it.” Zhang Heng put that card away, polite.

Ding Si obviously knows how to do business, and is not in a hurry to hear the words. He smiled. “Almost an hour and a half before the auction officially begins, you can take a stroll nearby. There are a lot of interesting places on this boat. There are casinos, cinemas, games rooms on the first floor, performances and self-help on the second floor can be relaxed. There are also exchanges on the third floor with major guilds, and you can also visit them if you are interested. ”

Zhang Hengdouxie, this is his first time in a circle made up of players. According to Ding Si, in order to avoid risk, the identity of the vast majority of players in the real world is kept confidential, so it is likely that only a similar large-scale event organized by the Organizing Committee will meet so many people. So in addition to buying and selling game props, you'll be doing something else with this party.

For example, the Fortune House Chamber of Commerce, to which Ding Si belongs, is a chamber of commerce dedicated to serving players. In addition to redeeming and borrowing game points as part of their business, they will also take on the customization of prop consignments and special items. In particular, the latter will be priced two to thirty percent less than the game point. They will obviously also use this auction to enhance their propaganda.

Of course, Zhang Heng was most interested in the three-story exchange meeting, but he wasn't in a hurry either. After saying goodbye to Ding Si, he went around on the deck and received several business cards, all of which were similar to player-oriented business organizations. The scope of operation was slightly different and the prices were uneven. However, there was one point, which was cheaper than the game point, and of course there was a certain risk in terms of safety. In comparison, Fu, Fu Building was a little more reliable. The latter was established for a relatively long time, and the reputation among the players was also good.

Zhang Heng put all the business cards he received in his pocket and then took the elevator to the third floor, which is obviously the most lively place on the entire cruise ship.

When he pushed the door in, there was a person on the stage explaining how to maximize game points. Zhang Heng sat down in the back row and listened for a while. However, he did not know if it was his illusion. He felt that whenever he wanted to talk about the focus, the other party avoided the weight and gently turned off.

A middle-aged man next to Zhang Heng shook his head, "It's all useless bullshit. The way to earn game points is the core secret of every guild. No one will reveal it. To be honest, it's just this way to pull people together.” He reached out his hand as he spoke, "Professor. ”

Zhang Heng picked out the eyebrows.

“Don't get me wrong, it's just my code name. After all, it's still too rude to call the number directly. People who come here either take a pseudonym or a code name. ”

“Simon.” Zhang Heng reached out his hand.

“Welcome to the game, Simon.” Professor's handshake is simple and powerful. "How come you haven't met your teammates? ”

“Teammates? ”

The professor's expression on his face is a bit odd, “You should be a new person, didn't the initial invitation to the game clearly say, each round of copy is highly unpredictable, it is recommended that players team up to play the game. ”
