The Prosperous Safe Zone and Gao Linzhi's Advantage

As the players advanced along the highway, dodging the monsters behind them, they pondered deeply.

They currently drive a big truck, Hundred Ton King, the kind that's all about "living life to the fullest".

The advantage of a large truck is that it has a large space, a wide field of vision, and enough people around to protect you when Revive After Death.

They are strong enough that the monsters behind them pose little threat.

Several deaths and resurrections were all due to the initial encounter with the treasure chest.

But they did not underestimate the monster.

Because they could see that these monsters were also evolving, and in short, they were becoming an increasing threat to them.

"We must find Method of Passing!"

That's true, but finding a solution is actually quite difficult.

"For now, we can only keep going. Hopefully, this road will eventually end, and we shouldn't open the treasure chests along the way carelessly."

And so they continued on their journey, ignoring the treasure chests along the way.

The contents of those treasure chests are of paramount importance to ordinary people.

Because ordinary people will inevitably die if they don't open the treasure chests.

They didn't have Game Backpack, enough supplies, or enough means of self-defense.

Just think about it, and you'll understand; they have to open the treasure chest.

At this very moment.

Using his Sense Linking Technique, Gao Linzhi focused his gaze on the large truck carrying the players.

It was driving with a loud rumble.

It consumes a lot of fuel.

Although it is cheap diesel, the demand is very large.

However, this is nothing to gamers.

One player happened to have thousands of tons of high-octane fuel in his backpack.

He originally intended to use it against the imperial court.

This much oil is enough to keep the imperial court busy.

That highway seemed to stretch on forever.

In terms of actual area, the city center of this Bear City is at most a few hundred square kilometers.

The longest ring road is only one or two hundred kilometers, which is already quite long.

At this truck's speed, it will take at most five hours to reach the top.

But after a whole day, they still hadn't seen the end of the road.

Gao Linzhi noticed that this involved the use of space and mazes.

It's not just that the highways are going in circles, but also that there's an expansion in space.

Just as he had guessed, the whole strange thing was a book; you finish one page and you're on the next, and so on.

It may seem like a thin book, but the actual journey it takes is incredibly long.

This bizarre evolutionary potential is extraordinary.

It's understandable that it would venture into the real world.

For it, the real world with nearly 10 billion people is an untapped treasure trove.

The incense offerings, population, and territory of the Skyfall World have basically been divided up by the various big and small predecessors and powerful figures.

The current state of the offline world is like the New World during the colonial period.

Colonizers from all walks of life are just weird.

Although most of the strange creatures are often unconscious or even lack intelligence, they simply act according to certain rules.

But there are also some strange beings that possess intelligence, even consciousness.

Their potential far exceeds that of their counterparts.

Just like humans and other animals.

It must be said that for these strange beings, the human resources on Blue Star are absolutely invaluable.

They certainly won't easily wipe this place out.

This strange realm is both a death cage and a Safe Zone.

However, the United Association will need some time to realize this.

However, none of this concerns Gao Linzhi.

He was just an ordinary person with cheat codes who wanted to achieve Immortality.

Cheating?

He'd figured it out; he didn't need to waste his time like those other people.

He only needs to focus on his core advantage, which is being the "The Only Ordinary Player".

All he needs to do is spend a lot of money on in-game items and then trade them with these people for what he needs.

What does it have to do with him to enter these strange realms, to explore, and to risk his life?

Having figured this out, Gao Linzhi decided to stop caring about what was happening here.

He left behind a Substitute Puppet to monitor the situation.

At the same time, his Game Character immediately returned to Xu City and logged back in.

He wants to check his current inventory.

Because the trade in Rare Tier commodities is destined to experience a major boom in the future.

He opened the game panel and checked his game data.

[Constitution: 1623]

[Spirit: 782]

[Talent: The Only Ordinary Player.]

[Game Skill: Longevity Technique (In Fusion)...]

[Game Backpack:...]

Gao Linzhi focused his attention on the Game Backpack.

Upon closer inspection, he immediately noticed that the Game Backpack was overflowing with items, almost stacked on top of each other.

There were hundreds of squares, each one completely filled.

And this is only a part of his daily reserves.

One thing Gao Linzhi does every day without fail is to move Skyfall Stone from the mall.

This is the daily life of a whale (a player who spends a lot of money on in-game purchases).

The problem for casual players is that resources are too scarce, and they run out quickly.

The problem for whales (high spenders) is that they have too many resources, and spending money to buy items every day is a physically demanding task.

Fortunately, this game is controlled by thought. Every day when Gao Linzhi wakes up, as long as he has a thought, he can buy all the required items from the store and move them into his Game Backpack.

The only limitation on him was the total amount of gold he could earn each day.

The most important game items are all carried with you.

Less important items, which are usually sold frequently, are stored in the village warehouse in the Safe Zone.

This allows trading companies to take and sell at any time.

Gao Linzhi first looked at the goods that were easiest to sell.

He picked up a business report.

This is exactly the type of game item that Boredom and his subordinates created that's easiest to sell.

Obviously, the "Revival Stone" is number one, without exception.

Revival Stone are very popular.

However, Gao Linzhi has a daily limit on the amount he can purchase from the game store.

Currently, there is a daily purchase limit of 50.

This is because his VIP level is already very high.

If your VIP level is low, you can only purchase single digits per day.

Moreover, every time Revival Stone appears in the auction house, it is almost always sold at the top price.

In other words, buyers keep adding to the price until no one else can keep up.

Although buyers can band together to drive down prices and prevent others from making bids.

However, if any signs of collusion to drive down prices are detected, the number of Revival Stone auctioned next time will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, this auction is not based on the highest bidder winning, but rather on whether the items offered by the buyer are what Gao Linzhi urgently needs.

If it's something Gao Linzhi urgently needs, then we'll trade directly.

Conversely, if it's not something urgently needed, then the highest bidder should win.

The bids here are naturally based on gold as the base unit.

Often at each auction, a single Revival Stone can fetch tons of gold.

Of course, with the current rise in gold prices and the increased availability of Revival Stone, they can no longer fetch such high prices at auctions.

However, this depends on the situation; when someone urgently needs it, a lot can still be sold.

Generally speaking, a single Revival Stone can bring Gao Linzhi more than fifty times the profit.

In other words, by spending gold to recharge Skyfall Stone, purchasing a Revival Stone, and then auctioning it off, he could obtain more than fifty times the amount of gold.

This is the exorbitant profit of a monopolistic business.

This is because Revival Stone can now be exchanged within the Alliance.

Otherwise, Gao Linzhi could have fetched an even higher price at auction.

Because the number of Revival Stone that can be redeemed is still very small, the daily output of the game is very scarce.

And this thing will never lose its value.

Unless one day, everyone wants to die.

He checked his inventory and found he had 1200 Revival Stone left.

Is this a large number?

Not many.

If a player's corpse is guarded, they can be wiped out in less than a day.

This thing is destined to be used only by key people at key times.

He then looked at the other important items.

Next up are high-level healing potions and warding-off-evil items.

These protective and therapeutic items are also selling very well.

Every time there's an auction, as long as the price isn't particularly high, the items are snapped up.

These protective items sometimes sell even faster than Revival Stone.

This is, of course, because the starting price of the Revival Stone is too high.

Another Big Head is the Strange Story Instance Ticket, used to exorcise strange creatures, which can transform strange creatures into story dungeons.

This is also a hot seller.

Almost as soon as they're put up for auction, they're immediately snapped up.

If you want to buy them, you have to pay a high price.

With the sale of these game items, a large amount of resources are continuously flowing into Gao Linzhi's Wolf Snake Island.

It's fair to say that if the game hadn't updated the ancestral hall Safe Zone, many player factions would have already come to attack it by now.

Gao Linzhi knew very well that if he were in the real world, it would be like a child carrying gold in a Rare Tier marketplace.

Let alone three days, within a single day, many large companies will openly attack, vying for the treasure by claiming "the virtuous shall possess it."

Because the sale of game items was so popular, Gao Linzhi already knew that many gray areas had emerged within the Four Village Trading Company.

Many people are trying to win over people within the trading company in hopes of obtaining priority purchasing slots.

This has led to the proliferation of scammers.

They claimed they could help the other party secure an auction spot, demanding various benefits in return.

Even some large companies have been scammed by these fraudsters.

Therefore, Wulu had to repeatedly emphasize. "All auction matters are transparent."

"Everyone's auction priority can be viewed."

"Our company's items will not be auctioned off privately or through private invitations."

Of course, the more this is emphasized, the more eager people become to find backdoors.

Gao Linzhi naturally understood this.

Therefore, he emphasized that businesses should not bully customers because they are large, and that the three bottom lines of "fairness, credibility, and safety" must be guaranteed.

He wanted to prevent those valuable items from falling into the hands of some unsavory characters, who would then avoid trading here for fear of Wolf Snake Island being unsafe.

This kind of thing is very common.

Some newcomers, with a bit of luck, occasionally manage to acquire extremely valuable items.

However, these items are often just important components or things that can only be used in the later stages of the game, and they are not items that they urgently need, so they think about exchanging them for things that can be used at this stage.

They would naturally want to trade in the safest place.

For this reason, Gao Linzhi emphasized it repeatedly.

They also severely punished some of the most common fishing incidents in the world of fantasy.

It involves first buying the other party's items at a high price, then setting up a tracking device to hunt down and kill the seller.

This is outrageous.

Just one instance of this can ruin the reputation of a large store.

In critical situations, some important items won't be sold here.

The bigger the operation, the more shady things there are.

Gao Linzhi naturally had to be highly vigilant.

Fortunately, this is a world beyond human reach.

He has too many methods to check his subordinates.

This made his subordinates hesitant to cross the line.

Unless the temptation is too great.

After scanning the props, Gao Linzhi walked out of the Elder Council Hall, came to mid-air, and looked down at the village.

The entire East Wolf Village now presents a very abnormal prosperity.

The Safe Zone centered on the ancestral hall is now no more than a few dozen acres in size.

Within the Safe Zone, there is extreme prosperity.

Both above and below ground, they are extending as much as possible.

Almost every inch of space was utilized.

This refers to space, from ground level to ground level, and from ground level to underground, which is a three-dimensional utilization.

This is arguably far more crowded than even the most crowded pigeon coop.

With 10 square meters of space, a ceiling height of 2.5 meters, and a separate bathroom and shower room, this place can truly be called a luxury residence.

"Ten-square-meter luxury house" has become a popular internet term.

Ten square meters here cannot be priced using ordinary methods.

There's simply no way it can be sold.

All of them were short-term leases, and all were priced in gold.

To secure a long-term lease, one often needs to use expensive and rare items such as Revival Stone.

After briefly glancing at the Safe Zone, Gao Linzhi went to look at other areas.

Those places were already visibly desolate.

Only a few small vendors set up stalls there.

Moreover, most of the houses were built with temporary materials, such as bamboo.

In other words, it serves to shelter from wind and rain, and to keep warm and provide shelter.

As for how luxurious, that's impossible.

The only distinctive feature is that the roads leading to the Safe Zone are interconnected and as wide as possible.

From the ground to the sky, a total of 32 lanes in both directions are planned to facilitate high-speed movement.

This is clearly so that people can quickly move to Safe Zone to take refuge should something strange happen.

It's safe to say that unless everyone goes completely mad, it's impossible for traffic jams to occur here.

There aren't many people living there now.

Most of them are indigenous residents.

Most players certainly can't afford to stay in the Safe Zone, and even coming and going requires an entry pass.

These people all came and went in a hurry.

Clearly, this is human nature.

Just like in the real world, big cities are overcrowded.

Meanwhile, the rural areas, separated from big cities by only a wall, are becoming increasingly sparsely populated.

Since the supernatural invaded the real world, Safe Zone in games have become even more sought-after.

The Safe Zone that have emerged today are all extremely expensive.

Those companies or Rogue Players who secured a village early on made a fortune.

Of course, this also led to various conflicts.

Who has the ability to occupy the Safe Zone will be decided by their fists.

After all, if you lack power, even if you stay within the Safe Zone, the enemy can force you to leave if they block it.

After all, the Safe Zone was too small, consisting only of some areas near the ancestral hall, at most a few dozen acres, which was far from enough to be self-sufficient.

We still need external resources.

Of course, you can bring resources offline, but powerful companies will naturally blockade the corresponding cities in the offline world as well.
