Chapter 13 Transactions
Storm City, the entrance to the player salon.
The night was deep and neon lights flashed. Lei Jingtian bit the cigarette roll and looked up at the huge signboard of the player salon. He flicked his thumb, and a shiny silver crystal flew across the graceful curve to the guard standing at the door. The guard who had a long face in front of the half-second, immediately smiled and took the ticket money, and respectfully made an invitation to Lei Jingtian.
Player salon, an essential entertainment and consumption place for every city in the second world, is not easy for players to get involved. Lei Jingtian is no exception. Any high-end consumption project inside can make him bankrupt - of course, it refers to him in the past. Now he has a 10,000-degree credit point in his pocket, so his courage is naturally much stronger.
He is not planning to spend some money in his pocket, but because the auction exchange that provides credit point sales services is set up in the player salon. If he wants to exchange the credit points in his hand for RMB, this is the most convenient and safe way. Lei Jingtian came here for the first time before to open a trading account.
But I didn't expect that his virginity would be sold so late!
Bah! Lei Jingtian was amused by his thoughts, and he took big steps into the largest semicircular building of Storm City in front of him.
Standing at the automatic scooter provided in the salon, you will report where you want to go. The small platform scooter is driving smoothly along the magnetic track. In this area with an area of hundreds of square kilometers, there are holographic cinemas, bars, restaurants, banks, exhibition centers, etc., like a small real-life block.
The auction exchange is not too far from the main gate, and the scooter only took three minutes to reach its goal.
Auction exchanges have always been the most lively place in player salons. Thousands of players squeeze the halls full of the virtual screens on the walls constantly change real-time transaction prices, items and other related information. In addition to the most popular credit points, weapons, equipment, materials, medicines, etc. can be listed for sale. The game company draws a 10% handling fee for each RMB-related transaction and collects 20% personal income tax. At the same time, the legality and security of each transaction are guaranteed in accordance with relevant laws. Moreover, this online transaction is monopolized by the game company.
Lei Jingtian picked an empty terminal and pressed his palm on the recognizer. His personal information was immediately displayed, and only he could see the virtual display on it. He kept clicking the menu with his fingers, and the price of today's credit point jumped out immediately. The latest price is 100 credit point for a sale price of RMB 72.5.
This price is lower than what he saw in the forum. The transaction prices in each city in the second world are slightly different. Detailed information can be found on the game player forum.
Seeing that this was not a particularly ideal price, Lei Jingtian couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
Hmm! This is the sadness of the poor. You have to be careful when every minute is 10% of the time. Lei Jingtian, who was used to being too big before, was forced to learn financial management in the game.
"Brother, are you going to sell credit points?"
A deliberately lowered voice sounded in his ears. Lei Jingtian turned his head and saw a player wearing a white casual clothes standing one meter beside him, his eyes constantly looking around, as if he was always on alert.
Lei Jingtian was immediately happy. Although he had no similar experience, he understood who was in front of him from some of the players' posts he had read. This is the legendary inverted party!
Although this guy has changed his appearance to thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is upright, with the appearance of an older comedian Zhu Shimao, he has completely the temperament of Chen Peisi. With Lei Jingtian's experience as a special police officer for several years, he guessed that this person is also a scalper in reality, and he has made a credit point in the game when he switches careers. This down-and-out party also brings the alertness in reality to the game. I forgot that there are no plainclothes wandering around here, or I know, but I can't change the habit for a while.
The taxes and handling fees set by the system are too high. Only some senior professional players have fixed exchange channels and can directly sell them to long-term customers without having to go through the Internet. However, establishing such a transaction relationship is not easy, so most players can only choose to auction the exchange if they want to exchange for some pocket money. Therefore, the underground trading market emerged, and someone specializes in this industry to make a profit from the price difference.
Of course, the risk of such underground transactions is quite high, and there are definitely many examples of players being cheated. Players often post on forums to curse those bad-hearted down-and-out parties. It’s just that the game companies don’t care about this situation at all. Who told you to be greedy for cheap things!
"How do you know I'm selling credit points instead of buying?" Lei Jingtian waved his hand and closed the terminal and asked with a little curiosity.
The man smiled proudly, showing his vulgarity: "Brother, when I look at your appearance, I know that you are not the kind of incompetent person who spends money. What else can you do when you come here? You must be here to sell a lot of earned credit points."
How pleasant this is! Lei Jingtian smiled: "Yes, your vision is very accurate. I really come to sell credit points. Do you have any advice?"
"I dare not take it as a counselor!" the man shook his hand and said, "Brother, I want to acquire the credit points in your hands. The price is definitely much more affordable than this cannibal exchange. Are you interested in talking about it?"
Lei Jingtian was really interested. He wanted to see some party business, so the two left the exchange to find an open-air teahouse next to Zhang Taizi and sat down. He ordered two cups of the cheapest Longjing tea and started to talk in detail.
"How much does it cost to exchange for 100 points?" Lei Jingtian didn't go around in circles with him and asked directly: "Don't say it if the price is too low!"
"Haha, my buddy is such a cheerful person!" The man raised his thumb and praised him. He thought for a while and said, "How much do you have? It's natural to say more than the price."
"The first time I traded with you, I'll try selling it for 10,000 yuan first!" Lei Jingtian lit a cigarette with his brow hanging down and said indifferently, the more powerful he had, the more powerful he had.
The party was really scared to the point of falling. He hesitated and said, "Brother, if you want 10,000 yuan, I will collect 6,500 yuan. What do you think?"
"Trade!" Lei Jingtian agreed immediately, but his words immediately made the smile that had just surfaced on the other party's face froze.
"You have money first, and I will give you a credit point after you get the account."
The man shook his head and said, "No, this does not comply with the rules. Generally, the seller will give us some first and then pay. If you feel uneasy, you can trade it small at a time."
Lei Jingtian frowned and stood up and said, "You think it's a purchase of vegetables. Ants move to change the game one hundred and one hundred times a day. You can only log in to the game three times a day. Then when will you have to wait until you can change them all? If you don't think it's troublesome, I'm still troublesome! This business is going to be overwhelming. It's better to continue making train tickets!"
After saying that, Lei Jingtian turned around and was about to leave. The man stood up and asked with a clever heart, "Brother, how did you know that I used to repurchase the train ticket?"
"Hehe!" Lei Jingtian smiled and said, "I used to be a policeman. Although I didn't catch you, it's still very easy to see through your vest!"
Looking at the guy in front of him with a pale face, Lei Jingtian said: "Don't worry, now I won't eat that bowl of rice anymore. I'm saying this is a game, and I won't take out the bracelet to take you away, so let's just disperse!"
The man looked at Lei Jingtian and turned away, his expression changed several times. There were also many examples of the party being deceived by players, and the risks were not small. But in the end he made up his mind and caught up with Lei Jingtian in two steps in three steps.
"I'm convinced you..."
....
Lei Jingtian walked out of the player salon with satisfaction. Now his bank account that was about to bottom out has already increased by 6,500 yuan, which means that the rent and meal money will be settled in the next few months, and the most urgent thing he has now also settled in.
The down-point party, who was an honest and reliable little businessman, finally agreed to Lei Jingtian's conditions and first put the money into his account. After confirming the account, Lei Jingtian certainly unambiguously sent the credit points to the other party. Through this transaction, both parties established a basic trust, and Lei Jingtian promised to sell all the credit points earned in the future to the other party.
With real RMB in the real account, Lei Jingtian was in a very comfortable mood. This was the first pot of gold he had gained in the game! The meaning of it was naturally self-evident.
