Perfect Superstar

"I'm back!"

Shi Kai excitedly pushed open the door and shouted at his roommates who were sitting in the living room.

One of his roommates, Min Wenlin, was playing a game, and said without turning his head, "Why are you back so late? Have you had dinner? There are leftovers in the kitchen, heat them up yourself."

Another roommate smiled and said, "Hurry up, we'll be waiting for you to download the dungeon together!"

"Download what copy..."

Shi Kai grinned and said, "I don't want to play Magic Sword anymore, I'm going to change the game."

"What?"

The three roommates were all taken aback, and turned their heads to look at Shi Kai. Min Wenlin even stood up and reached out to touch Shi Kai's forehead: "You don't have a fever, do you?"

"Magic Sword" is an online game launched by the famous game company Stormstorm in China last year, in the category of fantasy RPG, it has won the favor of a group of gamers for its sophisticated production.

Shi Kai is a fan of "Magic Sword" and started playing just after the server was opened. He is considered a veteran player of "Magic Sword". He is currently at level 72 and belongs to the first group army in the entire server.

The most important thing is that all three roommates played "Magic Sword" under Shi Kai's leadership. Now that Shi Kai suddenly said that he would play "Magic Sword" instead of playing "Magic Sword", how could they not be surprised?

"Go! Go! Go!"

Shi Kai dodged Min Wenlin's salty tricks, and said in disgust, "You're just getting mad!"

He sat down on his computer chair, took out four game cards from the handbag he just brought back, and said with a smile, "Let's play "Swordsman" together!"

Shi Kai is a technician in an Internet company in Shancheng. He has been working in Shancheng for three years after graduating from university. In order to save living expenses, he and several colleagues in the company rented this house together.

Everyone is about the same age, and the usual relationship is very good. What's rare is that they all like to play games, so they often play online games together and PK to brush monsters to save dungeons, which is a rare leisure pleasure in life.

Due to his high skill in playing games, Shi Kai naturally became the leading brother among the four.

"Swordsman?"

Min Wenlin picked up a game card placed on the computer table,

Hesitantly asked: "Is it fun?"

He knew that the game "Swordsman" was very popular some time ago, but now there are a lot of new games, and he is playing "Magic Sword" again, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Shi Kai picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, and said: "The vice president of our trade union recommended it to me. He tried it when the server was launched on the 1st. It feels very good. The most important thing is that we charge now. The standard has come out, very kind!"

A roommate was surprised: "Are you charged?"

"Magic Sword" is a free online game.

Shi Kai sneered and said: "It's good to charge, and all the free ones are fucking pitfalls. Take "Magic Sword" as an example, our level is considered very high, right? Didn't we get hacked by a little RMB soldier yesterday?" wanna die?"

The three roommates nodded affectionately.

Like Shi Kai, they are all from ordinary families. Although the consumption in the mountain city is not particularly high, the daily expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation are not low, so they can save as much as possible in life.

When I played "Magic Sword" with Shi Kai, I also took a fancy to this game for free, but this game was fine when I first entered the pit, and now the operator is trying to make money, and launched a variety of charging items.

The most typical one is smashing weapons. A level 50 gold weapon that hits 9 stars will cost at least 5,000 yuan. If you add a few soul gems, tens of thousands are normal. How can they afford it?

Don't smash equipment, you can PK if you have a level, but those smashed equipment, like Shi Kai took everyone to brush the boss last night, but met a little warrior who snatched monsters. He thought it would be easy to deal with four-on-one, but he was defeated The other party abused so much.

The reason is very simple. Although the opponent's level is low, but he is wearing a 9-star soul gold outfit, he can kill Min Wenlin, a thin-skinned mage, in seconds with one strike, and Shi Kai, an MT knight, can't replenish his blood with medicine. In the end, he hangs two and flies two. .

What a shame!

But what can be done? Who told them not to spend money.

Shi Kai said: "Anyway, I don't want to play this kind of free game anymore. The newly released "Swordsman" doesn't have any paid items. It only sells point cards, 50 cents per hour or 50 yuan per month."

5 cents per hour or 50 yuan for a monthly subscription?

This is really not expensive, and the most important thing is that there are no paid items, which means that it is fair to all gamers, and there will be no situation where four of them can only compete with one low-level opponent.

Shi Kai patted the game card on the table and said: "I bought four monthly cards, and the new server will open at 8 pm. Let's play the new server together!"

Min Wenlin asked: "Then what about our "Magic Sword" account?"

Shi Kai waved his hand: "Put them all on the Internet and sell them, as much as you can sell, that's right..."

He remembered something, and said excitedly: ""Swordsman" has its own auction house trading system. If we get good equipment, we can put it in the auction house for auction for silver taels or RMB!"

"That's okay?"

The three roommates all exclaimed in amazement. Generally speaking, the equipment transaction in the game is very troublesome. It is easy to be deceived when trading by yourself. The transaction fee and transaction fee will be deducted when trading through a third-party platform, and it will take a long time to get the money back.

"Swordsman" actually supports cash auctions, which is really amazing for gamers like them!

If you are lucky enough to get a top-quality piece of equipment, wouldn't it be flattering to sell it for hundreds of thousands?

A roommate yelled: "Stop talking, download the client now!"

"Yeah!"

Everyone acted quickly, closed "Magic Sword" one after another, downloaded the client according to the URL on the game card, and then linked their "Magic Sword" accounts to third-party platforms for sale.

Their equipment is all made by themselves, basically worthless, but the account level is not bad, and it can be sold for three or four hundred yuan. Mosquitoes are meat even though they are small!

As a result, Min Wenlin discovered that a large number of "Magic Sword" accounts were for sale in the past few days, and many of them were top-quality accounts made in RMB. Accounts that cost tens of thousands of yuan were sold for two to three thousand. It was a sale!

Although it is not certain that this situation is due to "Swordsman", it is an obvious fact that the market of "Magic Sword" is very bad, and the accounts of the four probably have to be discounted to sell.

But everyone doesn’t care anymore, anyway, they are determined to play a new game, and it’s not a pity to lose the cheating “Magic Sword”, so they simply mark it up at half price, and then wait for the download to finish and install the new client.

At 8:00 p.m., before the opening of the new server, four good friends successfully registered accounts and logged in to "Swordsman"——
