Gamers Are Fierce-Chapter 811 - 810: Profit

"Perfect Level Set?!"

In the living room, Chaichai widened her eyes and mouth in shock and exclaimed, "Is that for real?"

Pop.

Li Ang raised his hand to support Chaichai's chin, closing her mouth as he casually remarked, "Why so surprised?"

"It's a set, not individual pieces."

Chaichai took a sharp breath and said, "In online games and single-player games, a set is at least the integration of four or five pieces of equipment, right? Helmet, breastplate, leg protector, weapon,

if there are more, you can add necklace, bracelet, ring, gloves,

even prosthetic eyes, prosthetic limbs, wheelchairs...

If each piece is Perfect Level equipment, the upper limit is ridiculously high."

Chaichai counted on her fingers and said, "Moreover, the key is the simultaneous gifting of player qualifications and a Perfect Level Set.

According to the system's usual practices, the gifted Perfect Level Set's equipment requirements are sure to match the winner's condition, meaning they can wear it as soon as they receive it and use it as soon as they wear it. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Even if a normal person with all attributes being 5 wins this top prize, they could instantly possess the power comparable to Lv10 or even higher level players, right?"

"Mhm."

Li Ang thought for a moment, nodded, and added, "But it's not as exaggerated as you imagine.

This reward is most profitable for Lv20 players because they have enough spirit energy value, and enough attribute points, the upper and lower limits of the gifted Perfect Level Set are higher.

For ordinary people or Lv5 players, who have no body enhancement and pitifully low spirit energy value, even if given a Perfect Level Set, it wouldn't instantly boost them to second-tier levels.

Besides, this reward isn't easy to get.

You need to continuously guess correctly for a tiny chance to win."

"Hmm..."

Chaichai frowned as she thought about it, "If the guessing is in real-time, it's quite difficult, due to too many guessing projects.

If the guessing starts immediately after entering the venue... then there's room for manipulation.

For example, if led by the Global Occult Coalition, finding 300 participating players to agree in advance, and fix matches right after entering the venue, setting victory and defeat relations,

allowing 7 billion ordinary people outside to bet together, everyone guessing perfectly, at least having 7 billion bottles of Miniature Life Potion,

directly eliminating all diseases in the world..."

"Exploiting the system's vulnerability?"

Li Ang grinned and said, "The Global Occult Coalition might want that, but will other forces give them face?

Only regional small and medium organizations like Mirage Ring or Yama would respect them a bit.

Slightly stronger ones like Prometheus, Gen-Sys, or the Demon Scientist Alliance don't even consider them.

Not to mention major forces like the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Supernatural Accident Place, which have the authority to dispatch observers to supervise the Global Occult Coalition.

Without the official international organization title or the number one ranked Michael, they have no say at all. Rank 25, 33's Arlina or Nebula are all forces rented to them by others.

For other forces, the final reward is an unknown portal, naturally demanding all means and costs to fight for it, how would they let others enjoy the rewards for free?

Moreover, the system is not a charity and surely prevents match-fixing.

Either players are randomly transmitted and can't use location detection skills;

or match-fixing would suffer severe penalties;

or detect foul play, automatically lowering the reward level and winning probability, rendering inside-outside coordination for match-fixing impossible."

"Oh, oh."

Listening to Li Ang, Chaichai's feverish mind cooled down, and she clicked her tongue regretfully, "Tsk, I was still thinking of betting all on your victory, having you take out some seeded players proactively, and we'd become rich after a few rounds."

"You can just imagine that."

Li Ang patted Chaichai's tactile hair casually and said, "There are over 300 participants in this round, with strong competitors all around, no easy targets.

Even players ranked over 200 or 300 might have one or two trump cards used in desperate situations.

Most of them have guild backgrounds, and upon entering the Lost World, they would definitely explore the surroundings first, seek companions, team up, and try to prey on other forces' players by numbers.

But according to the usual style of battlefield games, it's probably not that easy to huddle together—there's a high probability of random transmission, with detection type skills and communication tools limited."

"Mm..."

Chaichai slowly nodded and hesitated, "Even so, players with guild backgrounds still have some advantage, right? They have more potential allies to team up with, and fewer enemies.

For example, if members of Sword King Court or Burning Wind encounter players from the Special Affairs Bureau or Heterodox Academy, there's no way they would fight; they would undoubtedly ally—both have roots in the East and are on good terms with the Special Affairs Bureau, plus there's live broadcasting outside. Killing a player from the Special Affairs Bureau would lead to accounting even if they managed to come out alive.

You're alone...

Are you really okay with that?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

Li Ang comfortingly patted Chaichai's head again, feeling a bit moved by the concern, "This time, the Lost World seems expansive, suitable for the swarm to perform.

The swarm has been preparing for a long time; it's about time they make their appearance.

Moreover..."

Li Ang paused, looking at the player dashboard where the Game Currency was nearing a six-digit number, and said calmly, "There are still five days until the official start of [Lost World].

These five days are a buffer period for players to use every method to enhance their power."

Compared to other Lone Wolf players, or even some medium and large organizations, Li Ang's greatest advantage lies in his logistics capability.

The Origin of Life + Abyssal Magic Mirror + Swamp God Power + Automated Pet Box, these four items nurturing the brood, provide both combat and logistics labor.

The potions crafted in the Breeding Box,

together with the equipment forging projects of the Alchemy Construction Workshop,

and the body modification services provided by the Origin of Life and Swamp God Power, combine to form the profit channel for the Immaculate Furnace Shop.

The two events of the Sky Fighting Arena and the Realms Corridor last nearly a month combined,

during which prices of various items at the Game Square fluctuated constantly, much hotter than before.

Plus, according to the Watcher's Society and the Global Occult Coalition's statistics,

the number of new players in the battlefield games has increased significantly during this time and the pre-heated phase of the portal battle,

maybe due to the successful implementation of fitness plans in various regions, or for the subsequent version update of the portal battle to warm up.

In short, the number of players might have increased by one or two times or even more.

Adding severe burdens to official institutions like the Special Affairs Bureau, it also greatly increased the total amount of Game Currency in circulation—newbie players can even earn currency through regular real-world tasks by attaching themselves to official institutions.

Li Ang's Immaculate Furnace Shop makes about 1320 Game Coins daily from potion sales (the price was driven down by other organizations, each bottle sold for about 80 Game Coins, selling seventeen or eighteen bottles a day).

Equipment forging brings in 800 Game Coins (cost price 1000, 800 is the manufacturing fee),

and body modification surgeries, since Li Ang has been preoccupied with competitions and cannot waste Swamp God Power and Sanity Value, are performed one to two times a day, earning 1500 Game Coins.

Pooling these three projects together, the Immaculate Furnace Shop's daily turnover is roughly around 3600 Game Coins, albeit possibly lower due to fierce competition as many new shops have opened recently, leading to severe internal strife.

Other shops can profit by hiring a large number of logistic players, providing production materials, and paying their wages—the guilds behind the shop not only need to pay logistic players wages but also take on the responsibility of purchasing equipment and tools for them lest they die in a script task, and all investments go to waste.

But Li Ang himself is the owner and doesn't need to pay any wages to the staff—the Brain Worms working for him consider it an honor beyond measure,

as for wages?

What are those? Can you eat them?

So these three thousand plus Game Coins are pure profit, using only Swamp God Power, Spirit Energy Value, and Sanity Value, which are renewable, essentially rounding down to no currency cost.

For large organizations, a daily profit of 3600 might not seem much, since they have to pay wages, provide salaries, which, spread across each member, might not even cover a meal—can't even afford a meal at McHwa's.

But when all this currency accumulates in the hands of one person, it becomes terrifying.

Currently, Li Ang possesses a whopping 96,120 Game Coins, and he plans to convert this money into his own combat power in these five days.
