The players were hesitant, but Han Xiao wasn't in a hurry; someone would always be the first to try something new.
As he expected, a cute girl with the ID "Maple Moon" finally gritted her teeth and spent enough money. Han Xiao then raised his favorability towards Maple Moon to five points. Suddenly, he realized that Maple Moon... was an acquaintance.
Maple Moon was surprised when she saw the skill learning list.
"I can actually learn the Basic Knowledge needed for changing jobs!"
This statement caused an uproar among the players, and their excitement soared.
These past few days, apart from the rich and popular players, most ordinary players have experienced the difficulty of changing jobs and have no clue how to acquire Basic Knowledge. Unexpectedly, this mysterious NPC, Black Phantom, actually imparted Basic Knowledge.
Those players who were hesitant to spend money immediately made up their minds to raise Black Phantom's favorability to five points. How could they let such a good opportunity slip away?
[Your [Basic Assembly] skill has been learned. You have gained 1000 experience points and 200 Aquamarine Dollar.]
That's right. Compared to the closed beta, Han Xiao doubled the price of Basic Knowledge, and it didn't affect the players' enthusiasm at all. Although each lesson only grants 1,000 experience points, there are a lot of players here, and the cumulative effect is quite considerable.
Normally, the most Volkswagen way for players on Planet Aquamarine to change jobs is to join a faction. Few players can acquire Basic Knowledge before joining a faction. After joining a faction, players need to complete tasks to improve their relationship and then exchange favorability for Basic Knowledge (of course, they can also buy it with money, but the cost-effectiveness is not high). Han Xiao's move helped players skip this process and intercepted the opportunity in advance.
In a short time, hundreds of players learned Basic Knowledge from him, which meant they easily gained 100,000 experience points, and this number is still rising.
With business booming, Han Xiao displayed a calm and collected demeanor, like Jiang Ziya waiting for the fish to take the bait. He dealt with the players while leisurely browsing the forums.
Players on various newbie planets (https://www. hetushu. com. com) are sharing information. Players in the Big Horn Mountain Settlement are excitedly promoting Han Xiao on the forum. He is the first high-level character to appear in the newbie village on all the newbie planets, and he is very popular. Posts about him are constantly being pushed to the top.
"This high-ranking figure sells cheap firearms and ammunition of excellent quality. As long as your favorability rating reaches five points or higher, you can learn skills from them. These include not only general skills like Basic Shooting and Basic Combat, but also several basic Mechanic Class Basic Knowledge, allowing you to directly change jobs."
"Wow, I've never seen such a high-ranking person before."
"I can learn about job advancement here! Big Horn Mountain, right? I'm off to the next one!"
"Damn, we're on another continent, we can't go there."
Why can't I meet important people elsewhere?
"Extremely dangerous and lethal? Anyone brave enough to try and see just how strong it is? If you die, it's on me. I'm short on cash, so I can only offer you a plane as compensation."
Many posts also included screenshots, showing Han Xiao dressed in all black. Many people praised his outfit of a black trench coat and black gloves, saying he was handsome and stylish. If you ignored his middle-aged, slovenly face, he would definitely look like a male model.
Even other newbie players on other planets were enthusiastically discussing the combat power of advanced characters. The forum had an automatic translation function, so there was no need to worry about language issues.
"Players are very interested in the combat power of high-level characters..." Han Xiao had a flash of inspiration and a new idea popped into his head. If he showed off his strength, he could attract more people to switch to the Mechanic Class. Although he had opened up the Basic Knowledge, many players were still observing. After all, quite a few players were not interested in the Mechanic Class Mechanic Class and doubted its combat power. Most players were looking for a fun experience, so the introduction of the Pugilist Class and Esper Class would naturally be more to their liking.
It has to be said that their suspicions were correct; the Mechanic Class was indeed weak in the early game. But... that didn't include Han Xiao. He smiled inwardly, preparing to mislead the players. He knew the players too well; there were too many shameless people who chose whatever class was strong.
For Han Xiao, teaching skills is pure profit. Hundreds of players have already learned the Basic Knowledge of the Mechanic Class. If he could trick half the players in Big Horn Mountain into becoming Mechanic Class, that would be millions of experience points in one go.
The profits involved are astonishing!
Han Xiao was excited.
"Perfect timing! The evacuation force from the Germinal will arrive in a few days, providing just the right opportunity to make our move."
West Capital.
Frenzied Sword was dejected. He hadn't been able to eat or drink for the past few days. Without Han Xiao, every day felt like an eternity.
While idly browsing the forum, Frenzied Sword suddenly came across a bunch of popular posts from players of Big Horn Mountain, which turned out to be Han Xiao's interface for selling items.
"Light Power Arm?!"
Frenzied Sword suddenly stood up, his face filled with surprise.
He remembered that Han Xiao had also shown this machine before, and since Han Xiao had always covered his face, Frenzied Sword had made a guess.
Could the Black Phantom be Han Xiao?
I must find him!
In order to raise Han Xiao's favorability to above five points, players who were short of money flocked to the Big Horn Mountain Settlement to take on quests and earn money, resulting in fewer players surrounding Han Xiao.
Your item [Light Power Arm] has been sold!
Han Xiao was startled.
He had set a price of 20,000, and someone actually managed to buy it. He sized up the dozens of players in front of him. The leader's ID was "Azure Sky." Upon seeing this person's name, Han Xiao suddenly realized. Azure Sky was the guild leader of "Sky Domain," a major guild in Huaxia. With the guild's financial resources, he could naturally afford it.
Azure Sky was wearing a set of hand-sewn leather armor, which was a level better than that of the open beta players. He was an internal beta player who had led a few core members to explore other areas during the closed beta. He learned about Black Phantom from other open beta players and resolutely led his team back.
Although Azure Sky hasn't changed his class yet, he plans to become a martial artist. He immediately took a liking to the attributes of the Light Power Arm. Even though he can't use it now, he bought it and stored it in the warehouse in case Black Phantom suddenly leaves. He couldn't miss this opportunity.
"Wow, quite a few good items." The Sky Domain Guild members clicked their tongues in admiration as they looked at the shop list.
Unfortunately, it takes 2,500 to raise 5 points of favorability for each person. Although Sky Domain is a large guild, it doesn't have much money right now. Buying a Light Power Arm consumed a lot of the guild's assets.
Han Xiao suddenly said, "A Germinal unit will be passing through here in a few days, and I need some people to help me set traps in the forest. Are you available?"
After saying that, he set a task and posted it out.
The difficulty Grade E. The task involves setting traps in the forest, with no limit on the type. The experience reward is only 500, but Han Xiao specially set up a reward of 3 points of favorability, which is exactly what Sky Domain wanted.
Azure Sky immediately made the decision, "Accept the missions for everyone!"
Han Xiao smiled inwardly. Using goodwill to attract players to complete tasks also supplemented his business chain, with each link connected to the next.
He could freely adjust the favorability rating, assigning a price to it using the previous settings. This method was actually very similar to the principle of currency, making something appear valuable but actually worthless, thereby attracting all sorts of guilds and players, such as the Sky Domain Guild and the Kill the World Guild, to accept the mission, which proved very effective.
Han Xiao has always believed that the monetary system is built on a bunch of bubbles, so he has always held the belief that money should be spent as soon as it is available.
Unspent money is a burden that drags down your work motivation! Just like in "Dark Souls"!
A large number of players were tricked by Han Xiao into setting traps in the forest. The traps they could use were very simple, mostly animal traps. Han Xiao took a look when he had time, and the forest was densely packed with traps. Even people with trypophobia would get goosebumps.
When this Germinal evacuation force arrives here, they will definitely be shocked.
The players' animal traps were ineffective; they were mainly used to distract them. Han Xiao personally set up other traps, which were hidden killing intents.
