[Chapter 8, Heavenly Night Incense]

Xie Mingzhe looked blankly at the constantly rolling numbers on the screen and felt deeply impoverished and insignificant.

When he was saddened by the $800 rent and happy to find a job with 1,500 a month's pay, in the world of games, these millionaires would smash tens of thousands of dollars inside for a small card.

Remember when he was playing online, there was a millionaire in their district who smashed hundreds of thousands to make a weapon. It is said that a lot of equipment is random games, and that millions of recharges are random to make a good outfit.

Surely, no era lacks the millionaires. Of course, no era lacks the poor. Unfortunately, Xie Mingzhe is a poor man, both on Earth and in this time and space.

The world of the millionaires, he doesn't understand, he can only follow to see the noise.

Card prices on the screen have soared to 150,000 and then stopped.

”'150,000 once, 150,000 twice,' said the host. 'Anyone else?"

The word "price increase” had not yet been said, and suddenly the number jumped again.

200,000.

220,000.

--250,000.

--300,000!

Xie Mingzhe stared at the screen, it was thousands of plus, how did the painting suddenly change? One plus tens of thousands!

Brother Qi next to him whispered: “It was just a little noise, the real millionaire just now. The properties of this seven-star card are very good, 100-sensitive, limiting dual group control, and with the addition of the Halo boost from Tang Muzhou, the price is definitely more than that. ”

Xie Mingzhe: “..............."

Indeed, the world of the millionaires is terrible.

Precious cards in this game should be like the top equipment in other games. Especially if this card is still the perfect attribute. Can you tell the price?

Xie Mingzhe sighed and continued to watch the noise.

At the same time, in the office of Teito Fenghua Club.

Xue Linxiang looked at the young man who was lying on the couch obliquely and constantly beating his arrears. Wen said: “Tang, this night Xiangka is also your heart. The data is really good. If you don't need it yourself, you can give it to others. Why sell it?” Xue Linxiang's desperate expression.

Tang Muzhou was falling asleep and his eyelids were fighting. Hearing Sister Xue's voice, he held up his spirit a little and squinted his eyes and said: "The long wind, the spread and Xiao 'an are not very good at plant cards, so they won't be able to make the most of it. Instead, find a more suitable owner for this card. ”

When he was sleepy, he spoke with a low voice and a hint of lazy sand, especially nice.

Sherin Xiang feared that he would fall asleep again in a strange way, and he said to his attention: “You're right, since you don't need it anymore, instead of dusting it in the card display cabinet, why don't you find him a new owner who can take care of it... However, you sold this auxiliary card for incense at night. Did you choose a replacement card in your card group? ”

“Of course.” Tang Muzhou opened the tablet and pulled out a card file, introducing, "This card was also just made the other day, I used different ideas, Sister Xue, look at its data. ”

“…” Xue Linxiang stared sharply widening her eyes.

The seven-star incense was sold by Tang Muzhou at night to play the afterheat. However, replacing the Night Incense card makes the data even scarier. She believed that when this card appeared on the field, it would definitely crack Tang Muzhou's opponents' headaches.

“How did you make this card?” Xue Linxiang looked back and saw that Tang Muzhou had slept with his head in his arms.

He sleeps every afternoon in an "afternoon sleep," like a plant sunburned in the sun, completely insensitive, and this strange action is helpless. Seeing that he slept so heavily, Sherin had to close his head and not wake him up. He turned back to his office to review the schedule of events that the Alliance had just sent her.

Auction live.

At night, the card was finally traded for 660,000 yuan, almost 66,000 yuan in real currency, which is 666 yuan.

After watching the lively Xie Mingzhe walked out of the auction house with two small partners.

Summer sunshine spilled on him, the real effect, allowing him to feel the warmth of melt in the game - the surrounding temperatures were just right and the weather was fine, but he was in a particularly bad mood.

Rich people can spend tens of thousands of dollars buying a card, and he's worried about his living expenses.

The gap between rich and poor is a problem that exists in every world. Xie Mingzhe is not wealthy, he is wealthy, that is what people can do. He was born an orphan, on his own, starting much lower than others.

But he's not comfortable.

After a lifetime of unwillingness, he is still a poor boy.

In his previous life on Earth, he was studying for a scholarship, and he was going to get a good job after graduation, and he lived a life of peace, and he was very satisfied with that kind of life.

But not now.

The world's technology is highly developed, people's mental diet is extremely empty, so holographic games like Star Card Storm are burning all over the world. Many players think of the game as a spiritual support, and countless people are naturally willing to throw money into the game.

As you can see from the auction earlier, a pet card “Nine Tails Fox” with little aggression, just because it looks cute, it captured the price of 8,000 gold coins, a powerful battle card “Night Incense”, it actually captured the price of 660,000 game gold coins, 66,000 real currency!!

If this card is given to him, he will have more than enough to cover the cost of living plus tuition for four years of college!

Xie Mingzhe's heart was extremely shocked.

He had never played a card game before, and with "Star Card Storm," he thought the card would be cheap, buy one for a few bucks and collect it slowly. Today, watching the original cards sell for tens of thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, Xie Mingzhe has completely refreshed his world view.

Maybe he could make some original cards to sell? It doesn't matter if you fail. What if you succeed? I don't want to sell tens of thousands of dollars, even if I make one that can sell hundreds of dollars, it's enough for him to live comfortably for a few days!

Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe immediately grabbed Brother Qi and asked him to teach him: “Just now I've been listening to you say 'original card’. If the player wants the original card, is there any special requirements? ”

Old player Brother Qi patiently became an explanator: “The original card in the game depends on the player's mental strength and talent. ”

Xie Mingzhe nodded like a garlic: “Oh, well, tell me more? ”

Brother Qi simply dragged Xie Mingzhe to the neighborhood to find a quiet gazebo to sit down, and Cis was curious to come along to listen to "Old Player Lecture”.

“Spiritual strength, commonly said, is the ability of your brain nerves to withstand external stimuli. In hospitals, it can be determined that the average person is around 200, and the ability to exceed 260 can be the most intellectually challenging job in all industries, or go to a professional league to play holographic games. ”

“…” Xie Mingzhe shrugged. What was his mental strength? When he first woke up in the hospital, Dr. Qin asked the robot to test him, as if it were 300—— yes, when the robot pressed the electrode on his temple, the number reported after the test was 300!

So his mental strength is still relatively high, at least a lot higher than the 200 average. Xie Mingzhe was a little happy and continued to ask: “Do you want to use your original cards in the game too? ”

“Yes,” said Brother Qi in detail, "it's up to you to create what the cards do and what skills you bring. For example, if you want to make a plant card, you have to refine the card you create, specifically what the plant flower looks like, how the root stem grows, how the leaves are shaped, how the skills are described, how the data is distributed - the more specific and refined you create, the better the quality of the card you make. ”

Xie Mingzhe was stunned - isn't it like painting?

There are two ways to paint, one is to put what you see in your eyes on paper with a real view. The second is imagination.

For example, if you want to paint a plant, of course, you have to outline the plant in your mind, imagine shaping it, and then pencil it, and paint the plant in your head. Good painter, the painting is especially realistic, even fake and messy.

This is not difficult for Xie Mingzhe. He was a science student in his previous life, but Xie Mingzhe of the world took the art school of Tidu University.

Painting, imagination, mental power 300, hardware all meet the standards, just software.

Xie Mingzhe rubbed his hands excitedly and asked: “In other words, after imagining the specific card contents, in the game, he used his mental power to draw them on special cards and make them into cards, so this is it? ”

Brother Qi shook his head: “This is just the first step, and the more critical step is card review. There is a very strict copyright protection system in the game and your card must be reviewed by the official card database for use in the game world. ”

“Copyright protection? What do you mean?” Xie Mingzhe scratched his head in confusion.

“For example, the nine-tailed fox card from today's auction has been approved by the database, so the copyright to this card belongs to the original author, and no one else can copy it. You can't imitate it and make another eight-tailed fox card, seven-tailed fox card, and you can't change its head and make a nine-tailed cat card. ”

Cisco nodded: “In other words, you can't transform cards from the card library, you can only make new cards that haven't appeared in the card library, right? ”

Brother Qi nodded: “Hmm. Cards that already exist in the database cannot be regarded as original cards without simple modification, and the skills of existing cards cannot be copied directly. New cards and new skills must be set in order to pass the system review. In the case of character cards, there is a special official requirement that the five officials who cannot directly import people from the real world must be their own original characters. ”

Xie Mingzhe suddenly realized.

The official rule is really powerful, eliminating a bunch of people from copying cards. Doing so will maximize the protection of players' creativity from a new idea being copied away tomorrow. Character cards cannot be imported from the real world, which also avoids players maliciously stigmatizing people in the game world, giving strange skills to each other. For example, turning your classmates into cards and putting in a "fart" skill, that's not good.

Brother Qi added: “More importantly, your card skills need to match the card's image. For example, [Night Fragrance] 's skills are related to card names when they become obsessed with fragrance and dark nights come. Tang Muzhou's most powerful mass attack card [Millennial Divine Tree], skilled in [Death Hanging], is a large-scale wooden vine hanging star card illusion. His cards are so strong because of the cards, the data, the skills, the three fit perfectly. ”

Xie Mingzhe nodded admirably. Looks like this Tang Muzhou brain hole is huge! All kinds of plants were given great skills.

Officially created original rules for cards are really difficult. Players can't just go blind. In order to be as fair as possible, there are absolutely professional databases and formulas for controlling the value of cards. For example, if you put a skill range within 100 meters of a group killing in seconds, this strange setting will certainly not be approved.

The sooner you play this game, the easier the original card is because there are fewer duplicate cards. But nowadays, Star Card Storm has been in operation for 10 years. So many players, so many cards have already been made by their predecessors, right? Who knows if all kinds of plants, animals and people are included in the system card library. If you want to make a brand new card, this “creative” problem can jam a bunch of people.

Must be a new card not found in the card library? What should we do? Xie Mingzhe touched his chin thoughtfully.

Brother Qi said: "If you are really interested in the original card, you can go to the black market to buy some nebula paper and try to do it. ”

Cisco persuaded: "Fat uncle, the original card is very expensive. I have a girlfriend who wanted to create an original pet card last month. Just the material money put into thousands. The last one didn't succeed. Don't jump into this pit easily! ”

Xie Mingzhe nodded: “Well, I'm just interested in trying. If I don't succeed, I won't invest heavily.” He doesn't have that much money to waste, but he's really upset if he doesn't try.

At least he is mentally competent and paintable, hardware is all up to standard, maybe he can make a card to sell, which is also a revenue.

Then Xie Mingzhe followed Brother Qi to the black market, the largest underground trading market for commercial stars.
