Chapter 246 Tianning Pavilion
On the third day of the Spring Festival holiday, Tianba Studio launched its official game trading platform - Tianning Pavilion!
Once the platform was launched, it was quickly welcomed by countless players.
After all, the official trading platform is definitely countless times more reliable than a third-party trading platform. In the future, the security of account transactions or game item transactions will be fully guaranteed through this platform.
Xiao Jie thought so too.
He is a new player of "Fast Rush". Under the guidance of his friends, he just started playing the game less than half a month ago.
The game is very fun, highly competitive, and the most professional in history. It has elements that other racing games should have, and elements that other racing games don't have, "Speed" also has elements.
Because of this, Xiao Jie is very addicted to playing.
It's a pity that he has been in the game for a short time. Although he purchased a lot of game coins through the game merchant, he still couldn't buy a series of more interesting and rare racing cars.
For example, the old man is happy!
Yes, you heard it right! The old man enjoys the game "Speed". It started out as a broken car that no one looked down on. Even if the garage is empty, there will be no space for the old man to play.
At that time, no one would have thought that Laotou Le would eventually go out of print and become one of the rarest and rarest models in the game!
Xiao Jie got into the trap too late.
By the time he started playing the game, Laotou Le was no longer available at the 4S store in the game.
Is Lao Toule very powerful?
Not Powerful!
There is a reason why this kind of broken car is looked down upon by people. In terms of performance and modification and expansion, they are all garbage among garbage.
But it's out of print, and that's why!
As the saying goes, out of print is strong, out of print is in your mouth, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. I used to ignore it when I bought it casually, but now it is out of print and I can't afford it.
Anyone with an account of a Laotoule in the garage can easily sell it for four to five hundred yuan on a third-party trading platform. Can you believe this?
In the "Used Car Trading Center" in the game, a well-maintained Laotou Le with a high enough durability can start at just 10 million.
Of course, this is game currency...
Even so, that's an exaggeration! After all, according to the current market price, ten million game coins cost seven to eight hundred yuan.
Laotou Le = Fire Qilin, it’s easy to understand if you put it this way!
Xiao Jie really wants a Lao Tou Le. Even if the Lao Tou Le has a very low performance and potential for modification, it is still out of print. It is so cool to be able to drive a Lao Tou Le in "Speed"!
Because of this, after learning about the launch of Tianning Pavilion, Xiao Jie planned to buy a more durable Laotoule on the platform, or directly buy a character with an account of Laotoule in the garage.
"Why are there so few things?"
Xiao Jie opened the page with joy and found that there were only five pages of products for sale. Xiao Jie was extremely disappointed.
But he can understand it.
After all, Tianning Pavilion has just been launched, not many players know about it yet, and not many people are consigning characters or game items on it, so the product list is relatively small.
Forget it, let’s check back later!
Just when Xiao Jie was planning to quit Tianning Pavilion and come back to shop after a while when the number of products increased, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and suddenly saw a character with a starting price of 1 yuan.
"Huh? Can it still be auctioned?"
Xiao Jie is no stranger to this model of one-yuan minimum selling and multi-person bidding. After all, he has participated in so-called online foreclosures before.
He just didn't expect that game characters could still sell like this, which is really strange.
"Why is there only one picture?"
After opening the product introduction details and finding that there was only one screenshot, Xiao Jie was a little confused. What could be seen in this picture?
Nothing can be seen!
You should take a screenshot of the garage and workshop details page! I just took a screenshot and couldn't see anything. Isn't this a liar?
[Official certification: Brother Ba’s own first-hand account]
After clicking on the introduction information column and finding that there was only this short line of text, Xiao Jie's eyes suddenly widened.
Brother Ba’s number one?
Oh, this is incredible! No wonder the introduction is so sloppy and there is only one screenshot. It turns out this is Brother Ba’s own account!
The account that Brother Ba had played with was indeed a great gimmick. In just half an hour, 147 people participated in the auction, and the price of the account also jumped from one yuan to a terrifying 999 yuan.
It will soon exceed one thousand!
For an account whose assets are unknown, how many game coins are on the account, and what vehicles are in the garage, everything is unknown. To be able to fetch such a price, I can only say that Brother Ba has a certain personality charm.
Xiao Jie had a little money, so he also participated in the bidding and directly raised the price to 5,000 yuan.
He originally thought that he would give up once someone raised the price, but unexpectedly, his bid seemed to scare many people, and no one dared to bid.
Maybe it’s because, although Brother Ba has played with this account, no one knows what’s in it, so no one dares to take pictures.
Another reason is that Brother Ba has played with a lot of accounts. Almost every game has an account, and this is not the only one. There is no need to fight with Xiao Jie.
In short.
As the bidding countdown ended, Xiao Jie bought Brother Ba's account in "Speed" for a high price of 5,000 yuan.
No delivery account password is required.
After the transaction is completed, the game official will automatically transfer the character to Xiao Jie's account, and it cannot be put on the shelves for sale again within 30 days.
"Is there no one to raise the price?"
Xiao Jie felt a little regretful. If he had known that no one would buy the five thousand yuan, he shouldn't have offered such a high price at that time.
Damn it, he has become an injustice...
Xiao Jie felt distressed when he thought that he had spent so much money to buy a "celebrity" account without knowing what was in the account.
Hurry up and check it out!
After all, it is an account that Brother Ba has played before, so the garage should be a little surprised, right? It's impossible. Brother Ba doesn't even have an old car in his car, right?
"Blank! Not really!"
After entering the game, Xiao Jie was speechless after discovering that although the garage of this number was full of cars, there was really no old man.
He wished he could give himself a slap.
Why are you so stupid to shoot this number? This is just great! Five thousand yuan is a huge loss, and there is nothing in the blind box, not even the out-of-print Old Man Music.
Xiao Jie, who had a splitting headache, told his friend who also played "Speed" about the incident.
He was originally looking for comfort, but his eyes almost popped out of his head after seeing his garage.
"Holy shit! Huiba S1 test car?"
"What the ultimate antique? Where did you get this thing? There are only two of this model in the entire game, right?"
"This is... the Canopy Plus prototype car? Hey, where did you buy the number? Why are there so many collectible cars in the garage?"
The more my friends saw it, the more shocked they became, saying it was unbelievable.
There are dozens of cars displayed in this garage. These cars may not seem to be very eye-catching, nor are they very valuable. In fact, each of them is a "collector-level" vehicle that is out of print and even cannot be bought with money.
"Ah? So powerful?"
Xiao Jie was confused. These cars looked ordinary to him, but how could they be so awesome?
What is a prototype car?
What is a test car again?
With his friend's explanation, he finally understood how outrageous Brother Ba was.
Thanks to the excellent physics engine and the ultra-realistic and ultra-restored vehicle collision system, many car companies have set up research and development centers in "Speed".
Therefore, there are many prototypes and test vehicles in this game.
These cars are unavailable and are all treasures of various car companies. How could they be sold to ordinary players? Even if one or two cars occasionally leak out, they will be bought by other car companies at a high price and then taken back for dismantling and research.
"This is Brother Ba's number..."
"That's okay!"
My friend originally wanted to ask who was so powerful that he could get so many prototypes and test vehicles, but when he heard Xiao Jie's words, he was speechless.
Brother Ba?
That makes sense. Things that others can't get are just a matter of course to Brother Ba?
"You made a lot of money!"
After learning that Xiao Jie only spent 5,000 yuan to buy this number, his friend said with envy: "Although every car here is very outdated, it has extremely high collection value and is worth tens of thousands of yuan." big."
Dozens of cars, that’s hundreds of thousands!
He bought a garage worth hundreds of thousands for only 5,000 yuan. Regarding Xiao Jie's deal, his friends expressed envy and real-name envy.
"Let's see if there's anything else?"
"Let me take a look..."
Xiao Jie heard what his friend said and felt that this account had great potential for exploration, so he looked around for things that might be of value.
After flipping through the list, Xiao Jie accidentally opened the friend list. Xiao Jie was shocked to find that there was only one friend in it, and the avatar was a girl?
Otherwise, click to take a look?
Xiao Jie might not be interested in chat records or anything else, but this is gossip about Brother Ba, and he is really curious!
…
"broken!"
Chen Ba, who learned that Tianning Pavilion was online and had successfully completed many transactions, suddenly thought of something and asked nervously: "Has my account been sold?"
"Which number did you say?"
"Speed! My character from the "Speed" game..."
Hearing this, Yang Dong nodded and said, "It was sold! It was sold for five thousand yuan. What's wrong?"
"Then, has the personal information on my account been erased?"
"what you mean……"
Yang Dong was a little confused, what kind of personal information was erased? Game character trading, doesn’t that include all the items of this character?
"Friends List!"
Chen Ba gritted his teeth and said, "There are also private message chat records, aren't they still kept on the server?"
"yes!"
Yang Dong nodded and said: "As the role is transferred, these things will naturally be retained...wait a moment! Is there anything shameful on the ID number?"
Chen Ba remained silent.
Shameful stuff? That must be true. He once dated someone online in "Rush" and left behind some rather shameful and dark history of chatting.
Delete, delete them all!
Chen Ba didn't want to expose his melancholy nature, and he didn't want everyone to laugh at him, so he immediately erased all personal information under his account on the server.
However, Xiao Jie had already taken a screenshot and posted this dark history to the Tianba community...
"Brother Ba, please forgive me!"
Xiao Lu suppressed a smile and said: "Who hasn't said some earthy love words? After all, if you open a small account to talk about sex, no one will know it's you!"
"Now we know everything!"
Chen Ba was speechless and said: "Can you delete this post? And by the way, ban all the guys who laugh at me?"
"Isn't this bad?"
"Our Tianba community is committed to doing things according to the law. They just laughed at your rustic chatting, and they didn't do anything harmful to the world. There is no need to ban or delete posts!"
Xiao Lu objected strongly: "And I think it's nothing. When you opened a trumpet to chat, you should have guessed that the vest would be exposed one day!"
Chen Ba: "..."
You laugh so loudly, do you not want this month’s salary?
Giving Xiao Lu a hard look, Chen Ba waved his hand and said, "Don't be too eager to laugh at my jokes. Is there any news about the person I asked you to contact?"
"You mean... that new generation best-selling author who is good at writing suspense and horror works?"
"right!"
Chen Ba asked: "What did he say, would he be willing to take our job?"
"Not yet!"
Xiao Lu's face fell, as if he had been hit hard: "I only made one phone call and had a brief chat. He didn't seem to be very interested."
When Tianba Studio wants to make a horror game, the script and story writing are the top priorities.
For this reason, Chen Ba specially asked Xiao Lu to contact a new generation best-selling author in the horror and suspense genre, hoping that he would write a short horror story.
But it was obvious that the other party was not very interested.
Adding more money can solve this problem, but the price offered by Tianba Studio is already very high. How about adding more money? It’s better to write it yourself!
"Forget it if you don't want to."
Chen Ba breathed out and said: "If there is no external help, then let's write a story ourselves. The most important thing in a horror game is to create a sense of atmosphere. If the story is a little bit bad, it's a little bit better."
He finally understood.
The prices for these foreign aids are getting more and more severe. Instead of spending a lot of money to hire them, it is better to do it yourself.
What's so hard about horror games?
It doesn't matter whether the story is exciting or not, what's important is that the atmosphere of the game creates a sense of tension and horror, and that's enough.
"I thought so……"
Chen Ba had long been prepared to have no foreign aid, so he had already prepared a draft in his mind and had a relatively simple idea.
"The story originates from a remote mountain village. The protagonist is from this village. His parents died when he was young and he grew up eating hundreds of meals. The villagers raised funds for him to go to college. He left for seven years."
"After graduation, the protagonist worked hard and finally achieved some success. He plans to return to his hometown to visit his parents and fellow villagers..."
The small mountain village is located in a remote area with no electricity or Internet access. Even the road into the village is a winding road.
This constitutes the elements that a horror story should have. Next, it only needs to revolve around the protagonist returning to the village, then noticing something strange in the village, and secretly investigating to gradually uncover the strange truth of the mountain village.
He only offers an idea.
As for the specific gameplay of the game, what is the weirdness of the small mountain village, and what situations the protagonist will encounter, these need to be filled in slowly.
