CHAPTER 428: CHAPTER 157: SPATIAL AUCTION, METAPHYSICAL RUSH PURCHASE (PART 5)

Preschool Director: I feel like banning everyone’s speech; just listen to what you’re saying, claiming it’s easy to make ten thousand a day. I work myself to the bone and earn so little; it pisses me off.

Preschool Director: I’ll say it again, no talking about income, or I’ll throw a fit and leave the group!

Seeing the director’s meltdown, the group members quickly started posting apology memes.

Just as Tong Xin was about to unleash his rant mode, Tie Chui suddenly sent a red envelope:

Preschool Group - Tie Chui: Director, this is the money we brothers pooled together, whether you grab the pirated or original version is up to you, this is a little token from the brothers (specified red envelope: 120,000 yuan)

About to burst with complaints, Tong Xin’s grievances vanished upon seeing the red envelope.

Preschool Director: What are you guys doing? I don’t want this money, I have hands and feet and can earn my own living, just need to persist a little longer to save enough.

Preschool Group - Zui Nai: Director, don’t get all emotional, we’ve been brothers for so many years. Even though we tease each other, we really look forward to your return. If you feel guilty, you can earn in the game and pay us back later.

Preschool Group - Squad Leader: Director, just accept it, we’re all waiting for your return. Feels like something’s missing without you here, hurry up and take the money and come back to the team.

Preschool Group - Cute Baby: Isn’t it touching? Tomorrow is the next round of qualification distribution, we’re waiting for you. If not, continue to grab the pirated version, keep the money, the brothers are all well-off now, money is no issue.

Preschool Group - Gulu: The director is probably wiping tears right now, eyes red from looking at the phone, with little beads dropping down, calling out "good brothers for life" in his heart, hahaha.

Preschool Group - Pebbles: What’s taking the director so long to take the money, does he look down on us brothers (angry fist on desk.jpg).

...

Seeing the brothers’ messages, Tong Xin’s eyes reddened.

It’s a lie to say he wasn’t moved.

Even though the brothers have trash-talking mouths, he could feel their anticipation for his return.

Although making money is easy for them now, it’s actually a considerable sum of money.

Taking a deep breath, he opened the red envelope and accepted the 120,000.

Then, with his thumb touching the phone screen, he typed a line:

Preschool Director: Consider it as filial piety to your father; you’re all good filial kids, and your father is gratified.

Preschool Group - Zui Nai: Dog Director, give back the money!

Preschool Group - Black Ball: Return the money, hurry!

Preschool Group - Tie Chui: Is this how you repay your brothers? Take the money and turn your back on us?

Seeing the brothers’ messages, Tong Xin burst out laughing.

Preschool Director: Filial piety to elders is a traditional virtue of our Human Clan, I’ll accept your gesture. By the way, what profession should I play when I enter the game? What does your group lack?

Preschool Group - Tie Chui: Dog Director, don’t worry about the profession; in Dark Land you can switch anytime. If there’s a shortfall, I suggest starting with the stone-statue ghost (Petrification) Life Soul, and go tank stream when the Star Vein Slot opens. I’ll switch to close combat.

Preschool Group - Cute Baby: Director, go Magic System! We’re on the Fortune stream, always rolling dice to determine power levels. Magic System gets major buffs, highly recommend starting with Ink Flame, Rushing Thunder, those Magic Output Life Souls.

Preschool Group - Black Ball: Director, stick with Stone Statue Stream, let that fool Tie Chui play close combat. Lately he’s obsessed with Champion Fighter, keeps yelling about close combat being invincible. I don’t even want to talk about him (disdain.jpg).

After chatting for a while, the brothers returned to Dark Land, and Tong Xin also got up and headed for the game cabin.

Initially, he planned to take a break before jumping into the game to grind for money.

But now with the backing of his brothers, he decided to liquidate all the equipment and resources on his account.

Then wait for the next round of game qualification distribution.

If he doesn’t manage to snag the official game qualification this time, he’ll try for the pirated version again, and won’t enter this game anymore.

After changing the game suit, he entered the game cabin.

Before long, he reached the character selection screen.

In Land of Sin, each player can choose 2 characters to play.

He has trained one Magic System character and one Shield Warrior.

Among them, Shield Warrior is his main profession.

Entering the game, he appeared in an open area of the main city, with a gem merchant NPC standing ahead, continuously crying out. Though it had smart AI, it always repeated the same lines.

He called up the equipment screen and took off all his gear.

To expedite the sale of equipment, he chose to shout in the main city for sales.

Listing in the Trading House took too long to sell.

At this stage, the game "Land of Sin" has hard-to-sell equipment, with prices dropping daily.

This situation is also true for the neighboring game "Conquest", with prices falling daily.

Though only a few players have secured Dark Land, many are already aware of one issue.

The era of Land of Sin and Conquest games is becoming a thing of the past.

Now is the optimal time for a quick sale; once Dark Land fully opens up, unloading will be much harder.

This is the reason game prices have plummeted.

Aside from a few rare pieces that can still fetch money, there’s no market for many low-level items, especially newbie gear.

It can even be said that neither game has new players anymore.

The new generation will choose Dark Land over these old games for virtual life experience.

He recalled how, when these games were newly launched, the main city was packed, and it was difficult to get a small monster.

But with the release of Dark Land, this game is declining, soon to exit the historical stage.
