Chapter 110: Chapter 110 Virtual Trading
Lin Lee nodded upon hearing him, then said, "Don't worry about that. It's just a beta version that is playable online; the official version will be an application linked to the cloud."
After talking for a while, Lin Lee also sent the details about the application and the cloud gaming. Also, give him the task of renovating and hiring personnel for the company.
As for other managers, Lin Lee will hire them himself, and the finance and R&D departments will also be controlled by him.
After finalizing the planning, Lin Lee left the restaurant, giving John access to the Unity Tower.
...
A few days passed.
On the other hand,
Tang Xin, sitting inside her dormitory building, was looking at the new phone she bought from Lin Lee.
It's a slim phone with a star mark on the back--the latest phone with slim design and technology made for gaming--but she didn't know it was made from nanobots.
She was playing extremely excitedly and immersively, looking at the Xin character inside the game, moving around and cutting the trees, and building simple weapons from rocks and wood.
"I have to reach the aircraft crash area in order to find the survival kits and tools. I hope they are fine." Xin character muttered, looking in the east direction.
Tang Xin read her comment in surprise, then glanced at the crystal in the bar and became thoughtful. 'It seems after reaching the aircraft landing area, I will be able to earn the crystals in the game; before that, I can earn them through invitation only.'
While she was thinking and looking at her game character,
Instantly, another email appeared on the screen. Tang Xin clicked on the email and opened it.
"Congratulations, Player Xin! Your invite code has been unlocked. You can now invite others using your invitation code and earn amazing rewards and crystals. Please download the official game app from the link below."
After reading, Tang Xin's eyes lit up. She hurriedly downloaded the app and then uploaded her invitation link to the institute web forum, which is dedicated to games and sports clubs.
She also posted her invitation code on different social platforms accounts, along with game description and screenshots.
Lin Lee, on the other hand, glanced at the invitation link appearing on the different social platforms. A smile appeared on his face, and he then glanced at the setting sun thoughtfully. 'Well, before the official game launches, let her earn a sum; only her invitation code will work before the official release three months later; others won't be able to invite.'
As time passed,
Tang Xin was playing the game, collecting the wood and stones, as well as other rare items, and migrating a small distance toward the aircraft crash landing area each day.
Also, she used primitive ways to hunt the creatures; after sleeping on a branch, she saved the game; upon exiting the gameplay,
Tang Xin was surprised by looking at the 124,000 crystals on the bar, and they are increasing at an alarming rate.
130,000 crystals
150,000 crystals
Each download and registration gives her 1,000 crystals.
She took a deep breath, her pupils brightened, and her heart raced at an alarming rate. After taking a deep breath, she suppressed her heartbeat.
Then I clicked withdraw.
Instantly, a bank notification appeared with 180,000 dollars reimbursed in her account.
"Yes, I am rich, ha ha ha." Tang Xin laughed excitedly; thankfully, her roommate is not available, or she would have been frightened by her evil laugh.
Meanwhile, Lin Lee received a call from John: "Hello, John."
"Sir, I want to ask about the invitation system for our game. Are you really going to pay $10 for each invite?" John asked with a confused voice.
"Yes," Lin Lee answered affirmatively.
"Like that, it will be a huge loss," John then asked thoughtfully.
"For now, you won't understand the scope of this game; paying a billion or ten billions for future trillions and ten trillions is worth it. Also, it will help our game reach every corner of the world. We don't have to spend on advertising and publicity." Lin Lee replied calmly,
John then asked a few more questions about the other fields and also sent the personal resumes for approval. He is planning to hire at the company.
Lin Lee scanned through the resume and background of each candidate; except for a few, he approved all others.
...
Three months later,
Lin Lee appeared inside the Unity Tower, looking at it being renovated according to his liking.
Also, a lot of employees are working on the floors; Lin Lee passed through them and appeared in the chairman office on the top 65th floor.
Upon his entrance, all the walls around him lit up with projections, showing the company statistics and also the game statistics.
A few days ago, the game was successfully launched, and today there are more than 500 million downloads.
He spent more than $2 billion on the invitation.
"The real fun will begin when Tang Xin reaches the crash-landed aircraft," Lin Lee thought to himself. Looking at the Tang Xin gameplay, she is almost near the crash landing area; it took her three months to pass through all those areas and reach here.
Tang Xin can see the broken aircraft lying there and is walking toward it alertly.
Also, a lot of players were assigned to different superclusters and clusters and completely different planetary systems.
All kinds of races were selected by my 100 million gamers.
"Once she reaches the crashed aircraft carrier, the truth about the game will be revealed, and the player will realize the cruelty of the universe." Lin Lee muttered playfully,
On the other hand,
Tang Xin was playing the game immersively when she reached the aircraft carrier. Looking at the huge aircraft the size of 100 meters, she climbed up on a metal section and walked toward the crack.
After passing through the different areas and following the map, she appeared in front of Mark, looking at the closed compartment.
The Xin character then spoke, "I remember, this is a special vault containing a special product that our ship was going to deliver."
Instantly, the gameplay option disappeared, and the gameplay screen went into video cut scene mode. Xin then walked beside the door, inputted the code, and then put her hand on the red scanner; instantly, it turned green.
The cabin door opened, and she walked inside, looking at the huge vault flickering with dim light and a lot of boxes and tools scattered around.
Xin ignored them and appeared in front of a blue sci-fi watch flickering with a silver shine. "So this is the special SSS level item that those space pirates wanted; I can't believe they attacked our chamber of commerce ship for just a digital watch."
She spoke, then raised her hand and grabbed the watch. "Let's see what's so special about you."
Instantly, the watch shook and then melted inside her fingers; it slowly disappeared completely.
"Ahhhhh," Xin's arm veins bulged with silver light, then it spread through all her body; even her eyeballs red veins turned silver.
Tang Xin was startled, looking at her game character's arms and legs rotating and cracking, as if her bones and body structure were breaking and then repairing.
After a while,
She fell to the ground and settled down. After a while, instantly she opened her eyes, revealing bright silver pupils'.
I sat up calmly and said, "What happened to me?" She muttered thoughtfully,
[Congratulations, player Xin, for achieving a milestone and receiving a reward of 10,000 crystals and 10,000 energy.]
[Congratulations, player Xin, for binding the SSS class virtual trading platform.]
[Congratulations, player Xin, for gaining a new title, Pioneer.]
Instantly, three global notifications appeared inside the game around the world.
All players were surprised, looking at a new option on their game screen.
Virtual Trading Platform
"Buy and sell anything."
Tang Xin was also surprised by the new trading function unlocked inside the game: 'Interesting, players can open more game functions globally upon completing some kind of milestone,'
Tang Xin then clicked the trade, the game character raised her wrist, and a projection expanded on her screen, showing her name and planet address, which only she can see.
Then she saw the search option on the trading platform and her name; also, the description below her name is SSS class trader, 50% off on all trading products, and no trading platform charges.
Tang Xin then saw a lot of products listed by other players; some even listed wood and stones, some fruits and animals, and meat.
Tang Xin eyes lit up, looking at everything priced in crystals; she could also buy them for half the price because of the SSS platform.
Also, she won't pay any charges to deliver or receive items; for example, the player in a nearby star cluster will receive items by paying extra delivery charges, and the player located in another galaxy or cluster will pay more than a nearby star system player.
After understanding the virtual trading platform and prices ratio, Tang Xin was extremely surprised by the trading platform system; also the benefit she is receiving with an SSS class trading platform.
She then browsed through the whole platform, looking at the prices of wood and stones, as well as other basic items, which are extremely cheap, using one crystal, a player can buy them in tons.
"It seems only special and unique products are profitable to sell on this platform." Tang Xin muttered thoughtfully.
