Chapter 6 Chapter6-Wild exchange rate!
"Young Master! Look what I found!"
In a certain newbie village trade association.
A dwarf hunter was browsing the list of items for sale when he suddenly seemed to have found something interesting and called out to "Darklord" not far away.
Darklord was hesitating whether or not to buy the most powerful weapon for sale in the trade association when he heard his subordinate calling him, and said impatiently, "What is it?"
He looked at the item the dwarf was pointing at and couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"What a piece of garbage! A Poor iron chain? Someone is actually selling this thing here? And they dare to sell it for 1 gold coin? This person really has thick skin!"
The dwarf also laughed heartily, almost in tears, and said,
"He put it up for sale worldwide, I don't know what he's trying to do, make players all over the world laugh at him?"
In the game "Godslayer", the system charges a certain fee for any items or gold coins that players sell to the trade association.
If the sale is only in the local town or nearby towns, the fee is very low, about 5%.
But if you want to sell in a larger region or nationwide, the fee goes up to 10%.
The most expensive is worldwide sale.
This means that players all over the world can buy this item through their local trade associations, with a 30% fee.
And for worldwide sales, the minimum fee starts at 100 gold coins.
This means that if this broken iron chain is really sold, the seller still owes the system 99 gold coins.
As far as Darklord knew, at this point in time, no player or organization had reached 100 gold coins.
Even the top ten guilds in the world ranking couldn't do it.
Darklord's own guild had been working hard for nearly two days and had only saved up over thirty silver coins, not even one gold coin.
The powerful weapon he was just browsing was only priced at 20 silver coins, and even that was enough to make him hesitate.
He didn't expect someone to sell a broken iron chain worldwide for one gold coin, which made him find it really amusing.
"What a pity, this guy chose to sell anonymously, otherwise, I guess he would have received countless messages mocking him by now... Hahaha."
The dwarf, seeing his boss so happy, also mocked:
"This guy must be crazy, if someone really wanted to mess with him, they could just buy this thing... then he would owe the system 99 gold coins, I don't think he'll ever be able to pay it off in his lifetime!"
The two laughed at the iron chain on sale again.
Darklord said, "Alright, there's all kinds of people out there, let's not waste our time on this idiotic trash."
The dwarf nodded and asked, "Okay, Young Master, have you found a weapon you like?"
Darklord sent a picture of a long sword he had his eye on to the dwarf, who exclaimed,
"This is great! Not only does it add a lot of attack power, but it also increases the coin drop rate by 1%!"
"Although 1% doesn't seem like much, but over time, it will definitely add up to a considerable amount!"
Darklord nodded and then hesitated:
"It's true, but this weapon can only be used up to level 10, and then the attributes won't be enough."
"I'm level 4 now, although it will take some time to reach level 10, spending 20 silver coins on it still seems a bit extravagant..."
"Hey, if only we could buy gold coins with real money!"
The dwarf knew about his boss's financial strength, and if in-game gold coins could be purchased with real money, their guild would immediately develop and outpace other players by a large margin.
However, among the many items, no one was selling gold coins.
Understandably, as the game had just entered its second day since the server opened.
Every player's coins were not enough for their own use, so how could they sell gold coins?
Just as the two were feeling troubled, suddenly, the dwarf player saw a flash of gold on his item page!
[Consigned item: Gold coins * 100]
[Item price: 100,000 dollars]
[Consigning player: Anonymous]
"Young Master!"
"What's the matter now?"
"Take a look at this!" The dwarf player pointed at the item in front of him, his finger trembling.
Darklord glanced at it indifferently, thinking it was another item worthy of ridicule discovered by the dwarf.
However, when he saw the 100 gold coins at that moment, his eyes widened, and his mouth gaped open, unable to close.
Speak of the devil, someone was really selling gold coins!
Darklord reacted quickly; his years of business experience told him that he needed to secure these gold coins as soon as possible, or someone else might snatch them!
Because he saw that this time, the consignor chose regional consignment, meaning...
All players in the entire region could buy these gold coins through the local newbie village trade associations!
At present, there must be at least several million players in a single region!
"Send him a private message, ask him to sell it to us at a lower price, and we'll take it all!" Darklord immediately told the dwarf.
The dwarf looked puzzled, "Young Master, this person chose anonymous consignment, so we can't send him a private message!"
Darklord hesitated, unsure if it was worth spending 100,000 dollars for 100 gold coins.
As players leveled up and monsters dropped more coins, gold coins would surely depreciate and then reach equilibrium.
Was he paying too much now?
However, during his half-minute of hesitation, the gold coins was instantly bought! The buyer didn't hesitate at all and purchased it directly!
At that moment, Darklord was dumbfounded, as was the dwarf player beside him.
"Damn, there are so many rich guys out there!" Darklord gritted his teeth, filled with resentment.
If he hadn't hesitated earlier, those 100 gold coins would have been his!
With that startup capital, his guild and core players would undoubtedly become stronger quickly!
Hesitation indeed leads to failure!
...
Inside the temple, John looked at the gold coins he had just consigned, which were instantly bought, and he was filled with regret.
He regretted that, despite all his calculations, he had still underestimated the price of gold coins!
Just now, after browsing for a long time, he found that no one was selling in-game currency in the trade association.
During his browsing, John discovered that there were even copper and silver coins in the game.
However, that wasn't the key issue.
The key was that figuring out the price at which to sell his more than ten thousand gold coins, with no reference items in the trade association.
John was in a dilemma, but fortunately, he had plenty of gaming experience and knew how to estimate the value of his gold coins based on other players' consigned items.
Unfortunately, after all his calculations, he still underestimated the purchasing power of these players nowadays.
One hundred thousand dollars!
Gone in a flash, without mercy!
In this case, being killed by The Devil once would earn him tens of gold coins, which was truly a stroke of luck.
[XX Bank reminder: Your cash of 90,000 dollars has been deposited, please check.]
"After deducting the handling fee, there's still 90,000 dollars."
"I didn't expect it to arrive so quickly..."
He touched his chin and began to think about how to deal with the remaining gold coins.
At that moment, he noticed that many new posts suddenly appeared in the game forum.
"Wow, who was the big shot that just sold 100 gold coins in one go? Please let me know you, you can be my sugar daddy!"
"Where is the big shot? I'm an internet celebrity with perky buttocks, a thin waist, and long legs, with a 36E figure! If you need, you can contact me, and I can fly directly to you! Screenshot and DM me for pictures."
"No matter who put up the gold coins, if you still have some, I am willing to pay a high price! I can offer 120,000 dollars for 100 gold coins! Please contact me quickly!" 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙣𝙚𝒕
"I am the president of XX Guild. I will pay 150,000 dollars for 100 gold coins. Please contact me if you see this."
"I am the president of a certain group, and I want to buy 1,000 gold coins now. If you sell them in bulk, I can pay you 2 million cash!"
"You call yourself a president, but I think you don't know anything. This is 1,000 gold coins! Do you really think a player can come up with that now? I guess those 100 gold coins were already all his possessions!"
"Yeah, it seems there won't be any more gold coins for sale. Let's disperse, everyone."
"Don't try to control the narrative! You want everyone to disperse, and then you guys go squat and wait for the big shot to sell gold coins, right? I won't sleep tonight! Hit me with more gold coins! The price is negotiable!"
...
For a time, the price of gold coins skyrocketed in the forum.
These real-world tycoons didn't treat money as anything at all.
If John were to put all his remaining gold coins up for sale...
The frenzy would undoubtedly be spectacular!
