Chapter 84: Ask Him if He’s Willing to Cooperate
Having been a streamer for so long, Han Tian had forgotten the hardships of the common folk.
Han Tian, having been a streamer for so long, had forgotten the hardships of the common folk.
Mu Qiu had wanted to quit her job for a long time.
She had this idea even before the game appeared.
It was simply too tiring.
Now, her speed in killing Demonic Beasts in the game wasn’t slow, and the fact that she was the first to reach the Mid Qi Condensation Stage showed her talent wasn’t bad either.
It was just that recently, she had used up all her vacation time to play the game.
That bald leader had been quite displeased with her lately.
Mu Qiu calculated that if she quit her job and sold the Points to Han Tian, the monthly earnings would be better than her current meager salary.
It would be better to just quit!
After receiving Han Tian’s definitive reply, Mu Qiu immediately started drafting her resignation letter.
Currently, the game did not allow direct gifting of Points, but Mu Qiu could directly sell Spirit Stones to Han Tian, which the System couldn’t control.
Since Players couldn’t pay-to-win, Song Jiulai wouldn’t stop Han Tian from ‘paying-to-win’ for the benefit of other Players.
Once the benefits circulated, Players would have even greater motivation to strive.
Of course, upon discovering that they could buy Spirit Stones by giving money to other Players, more than one person had the idea of paying-to-win for Points like Han Tian.
A Palm Thunder Cultivation Technique costing 500 Points was quite difficult for New Players.
Han Tian later successively added all fifty New Players to the Inner Disciple group.
Han Tian directly posted in the group, looking to buy Points: 【 If any of you have extra Points you don’t want to use, you can accumulate 10 Points and exchange them for Spirit Stones to sell to me. I’ll buy one Spirit Stone for 100 yuan, direct transfer transaction】
【 Lian Yueqiao】: Oh, you can buy Spirit Stones too?
【 Han Tian】: Yes, you can.
【 Su Daqiang】: Damn, Big Shot, this game doesn’t even have a pay-to-win channel, aren’t you afraid of being stuck with all these Points?
【 Han Tian】: Impossible. Look at what the Sect gives you in exchange for Points; they’re all good things. Points are far from enough. Besides, this game won’t be deleted, so this amount is sufficient.
He wouldn’t lose out by buying them.
【 Lian Yueqiao】: Then can I buy some Points too? I still can’t afford that Palm Thunder. I’ll offer the same price as Han Tian. If anyone has extra, please take care of me.
Han Tian didn’t have a strong impression of this person, but he vaguely remembered that this was a Player who hadn’t joined the group until two days after he initially created it.
And she was a female Player focused on life skills.
Currently, she helped Players manage their Spiritual Fields in the Sect and occasionally went down the mountain to fish.
She seemed very leisurely.
Although she had created an attractive avatar, she didn’t interact much with other Players.
She did, however, occasionally chat with A Wu.
A life-skills Player, and lazy too.
It was normal for her to not have enough Points.
【 Han Tian】: Sure, if you need them, I can give them to you first. I can collect other Materials for now.
It was a good thing that others were buying Points.
After all, he couldn’t possibly consume all the Players’ Points by himself.
Most Players would likely need to sell Points; it wasn’t likely that everyone gathered in this game was wealthy.
People like Mu Qiu were the majority.
【 Lian Yueqiao】: Thank you, thank you, Big Shot.
Typing with a slight delay, Jiang Lian rubbed her eyes.
It was a subconscious habit from looking at her mobile phone for too long.
It was currently 9 PM domestic time, and she would be resting soon.
She had been playing a bit too late recently.
She understood now; the game was indeed fun.
Otherwise, why would her grandson, who returned for the summer vacation, have been so engrossed in playing every day that he forgot about everything else?
Yes, Han Tian and the others probably never imagined that there was a grandmother playing in the game group.
Jiang Lian, at fifty-seven years old, was now alone.
Her son had already emigrated abroad with his wife, and even her grandson held foreign citizenship.
They only visited her once every few years.
Her phone rang again. Jiang Lian glanced at the caller ID and answered, “Hello?”
“Mom, why haven’t you called us much lately?” her son’s playful voice came through, with a hint of probing.
Jiang Lian: “I’ve been too busy. I’m playing a game, and there’s a lot going on in the game. The other kids asked me to help them watch their fields, and I have to chase away rats for them every day.”
Upon hearing that she was playing a game, her son chuckled in relief: “It’s good that you found a game to pass the time.”
He thought his mom was playing some kind of farming simulation game.
He hadn’t heard the part about other children.
He didn’t expect his mom to still have such a childlike heart.
As he laughed, he brought up again: “Mom, why don’t you move abroad too?”
Jiang Lian’s face immediately fell: “You’re bringing it up again. I’ve already said, tourism is fine, but I don’t want to live there permanently. I have a Huaxia stomach; eating out last time gave me stomach problems. I don’t want to go!”
“Mom, the main reason is that technology abroad is more developed than domestically. It’s just that when it comes to food, there are many delicious things, but you just don’t have the taste for them. If you’re alone in China, neither Xiao Mei nor I can take care of you.”
Jiang Lian rolled her eyes: “What do you mean more developed than domestically? The capital I visited last time wasn’t even as good as our second-tier cities.”
“How can you compare them? It’s just that the infrastructure is good. If you look at other aspects, their services and everything else are…”
Listening to her son’s incessant chatter, Jiang Lian felt annoyed.
She didn’t know how she raised a son who was so misguided.
Ever since he went abroad to study, he felt everything was better than domestically, and eventually, he emigrated.
Jiang Lian couldn’t help it; he was her son, and at least he wasn’t a traitor. Now, she just tried to ignore it.
Jiang Lian used to listen to his nagging, but now she was unhappy: “Don’t talk about these things. I’m very busy. Don’t call me so often either. I have to support a daughter now.”
“Daughter? Where did you get a daughter?” her son’s voice immediately became wary.
“In the game! The young girl is very poor right now, I have to help her make money.”
Upon hearing it was a game, her son was silenced.
He could only mumble in the end: “Please, Mom, don’t let people in the game scam you out of money.”
Jiang Lian: “You’re so smart. You were scammed out of five million yuan in agency fees when you emigrated, and you have the nerve to talk to me.”
“…”
This conversation ultimately ended unhappily.
And different Players had different circumstances.
After Shuitan joined the group, the information from this large group of one hundred people fell into the hands of the state.
“The oldest is a fifty-seven-year-old granny, and she plays games?”
Wei Jun was also a bit incredulous upon seeing the Information.
Xiao Qing from the department said, “Minister, why is fifty-seven considered an old lady? The Internet is so developed now, any age is not surprising. The last time I saw, there was an eighty-year-old grandpa live-streaming a shooting game.”
Wei Jun: “…”
Indeed, people nowadays were too fashionable.
Xiao Qing added, “This Zhen Weida managed to grab the second Quota, his luck is really good.”
Wei Jun pondered for a moment.
When that sentence popped up on the official website back then, it said that luck was also a part of Strength.
Although Wei Jun didn’t play the game, his comprehension was not bad. He thought for a moment and said, “Forget the other Players, Tan Jie will investigate them. I remember Zhen Weida registered with Xiao Liu, right? Go ask him if he’s willing to cooperate with us.”
“One more person means more opportunities to uncover the secrets of this game.”
