Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, on a university campus.
There was a knock on the door of one of the bedrooms in the suite dormitory, and a shirtless white youth with messy hair poked his sleep-deprived head out:
"Liu, what do you want?"
" Aibo, the part-time job I mentioned to you before has yielded results. Want to grab something to eat together?"
The young white man glanced out the window and then at the wall clock:
"Now? Four in the morning?"
[ Gill's Cuisine ] ( Liu Yi ) in the real world slapped his forehead:
"Okay, I mixed up the time with the time back home. I thought it was afternoon."
"Let's do it now, three hours of sleep is enough."
"You're so healthy."
I drank a bit too much last night, and I can't sleep anyway.
The two put on their coats and went to a 24-hour fast food restaurant on the university campus. Aibo began to browse the menu:
Tell me your budget so I can decide how many beef patties to put in today's burger.
"Don't worry, you can keep adding until you get tired of it."
Aibo glanced at his roommate:
"I even have to help you with your daytime classes, so how much have you actually earned these past few days?"
Liu Yi held up one finger.
"One hundred dollars?"
Aibo guessed, and [ Gill's Cuisine ] glanced guiltily to the side:
"Hmm, more or less."
"That's a really lucrative business."
Aibo said with a hint of envy, then pointed to the set meals on the menu:
"Extra-large cheese beef burger, four extra beef patties, and two large Cokes."
Liu Yi stared at her roommate:
"Are you a reincarnated starving ghost?"
I went to a bar last night.
"Don't just drink, at least eat something."
While waiting for the food to arrive, Aibo looked at his roommate from across the ocean:
"So what part-time jobs can earn that much money? And something you can do that I can't?"
Liu Yi looked at him in surprise and asked:
Who says you can't do it?
"I can do that too?"
Aibo launched himself across the table and grabbed his roommate.
"What's that old saying of yours again?"
"If I become rich and powerful, I will not forget you."
"I wish to be your godfather!"
"Shouldn't you call him 'Godfather' here?"
Aibo grabbed Liu Yi's right hand and gave it a light kiss, speaking in a slight Mafia accent:
"Don Corleone, I apologize for my rudeness. Please tell me what happened?"
Liu Yi took out his phone and opened the official website of " World of Disorder ":
"You remember this, right?"
"I remember you showed it to me before. It seemed to be a very popular game where you are. I can still see related videos recently, but I don't follow the gaming industry much, so I didn't click to watch it."
Do you know what "game gold farming" is?
"I know, although I've never played it, I've heard of similar jobs, which involve farming items or currency in the game and then selling them to guys who are too lazy to do it themselves, right?"
That's what we need to do.
So you really have to grind in-game currency?
"Moving bricks" is just a figure of speech; if you really want to describe it, it's more like hunting.
Upon hearing the word "hunting," Aibo instantly became serious. He looked at Liu Yi and said:
"Liu, have I ever told you about my great-great-great-grandfather?"
"No, and I don't think our everyday conversations would involve our great-great-great-grandfather."
"Now I'll tell you, my grandfather said my great-great-great-grandfather was a bounty hunter who roamed the western wilderness two hundred years ago."
What are you trying to say?
"What I'm trying to say is, I have the purest cowboy blood flowing in my veins, so you've come to the right person for the hunt!"
After exchanging words for a while, the enormous beef burger, almost half the thickness of a head, was finally served.
In just a few words, [ Gill's Cuisine ]'s money-making plan went from a solo endeavor to a partnership.
"The rest is simple: you buy an immersive gaming headset, I'll get you game access within three days, and then we can start making some extra money."
"No problem, so can we exchange the prey we hunt in the game for real money?"
Liu Yi shook his head:
"It's not that simple. This game uses an invitation system. Players can exchange resources for game access activation codes. What we need to do is exchange for activation codes and then list them on trading websites, waiting for those who want to play to bid on them."
"Wouldn't it be very costly for you to help me get a qualification?"
"That's right, but I won't take your money. So, I'll take the first two orders from now on, and we'll split the profits 50/50 starting with the third."
"Godfather, I absolutely love you..."
What is identity authentication?
Somewhere in the real world.
The man in front of his computer suddenly discovered that all the items he had listed on the auction website had been forcibly frozen.
Those worthless fake redemption codes have already brought him hundreds of yuan in income. After all, no one dares to buy links that are too expensive, but there will always be people who want to try the cheaper ones.
What if, just what if it's a real activation code?
However, such wishful thinking will only cause speculators to bleed a little from their wallets. By the time they realize that it is a string of real gibberish, the link has already been taken down by the script and there is no possibility of recovery.
But today, when the young scammer turned on his computer to check his transaction history, he discovered that his goods and outstanding payments were frozen online.
The method to thaw him was surprisingly—to verify that he truly possessed the qualifications to play in the World of Disorder!
He has no right to play the game!
If it really existed, he would have played with it himself long ago.
It seemed that the authorities had discovered this loophole-exploiting fraud. He sighed inwardly and began trying to unfreeze the account.
Even if you don't want those worthless fake activation codes, you should at least withdraw your own money...
After two hours of hard work, an exhausted conman slumped onto the table, hearing the sound of his own defenses crumbling.
Thousands of kilometers away, the man in black was happily refreshing the interface of the trading website.
After contacting the official team and urgently adding an identity verification process, the number of redemption code trading links plummeted from tens of thousands to just over a hundred, with the rest being removed and frozen.
Furthermore, due to the previous "official pricing" of [ Gill's Cuisine ], the price of the redemption code has now stabilized at around 8000 yuan.
The man in black knew that as the number of players steadily increased, the price would gradually decrease at a reasonable rate until everyone could afford it.
Of course, it's also possible that the game will start its public beta test before then.
But will this game, created by an unknown force, really have a public beta?
He was skeptical of this.
