Chapter 1034

.

June 62th, 3 PM.

Shi Lei was silently checking the situation in the World of the Brave. This time, the World of the Brave had updated its Chess Card Entertainment System. However, no announcement had been made on the official website of the World of the Brave.

In the past, if there were any updates or changes to the World of the Brave, the official website would definitely make an announcement and list out the details of the updates.

However, the Chess Card Entertainment System was more or less a gambling system. If it was publicized on a large scale, it might cause some trouble. Although Tencent's gaming platform had the same nature, it was very low-key, right?

Dream Entertainment had an official Virtual Item Trading System. In this system, virtual items related to the World of the Brave could be freely traded using the Dreamer Online Payment System.

Although Dream Entertainment's Virtual Item Trading System would incur transaction taxes, the benefits were safety. Both parties would be protected by the officials and could conduct the transaction with their identities concealed, avoiding a lot of trouble.

This was a complicated era. After several years of development, online games had given rise to many negative phenomena, such as Internet trolls. The so-called Internet trolls were people who were no match for other players in the virtual game world and would think of ways to take revenge in the real world.

Don't think that Internet trolls didn't exist. In fact, they did exist in large-scale online games.

Dream Entertainment's Virtual Item Trading System could effectively prevent such things from happening. If there was a need, both parties could use a temporary virtual number to conduct the transaction without leaving any records of their real identities.

In the World of the Brave, copper coins and silver taels had long been in hot demand in the Virtual Item Trading System. Shi Lei didn't even arrange for Izur to act as a scapegoat and take the initiative to buy the World of the Brave's currency!

The sudden appearance of the Chess Card Entertainment System in the World of the Brave gave many middle-aged and elderly players a new form of entertainment. If these middle-aged and elderly players wanted to participate in the entertainment of non-player controlled characters, they needed the World of the Brave's currency.

Currently, the World of the Brave's currency system was very stable. The ratio of gold, silver, and copper coins was maintained at a base rate of one to thirty. The ratio of copper coins was controlled very well and didn't devalue. Similarly, the exchange ratio between copper coins and World Dollar was maintained at ten to one.

The middle-aged and elderly players didn't have many ways to obtain the World of the Brave's currency. Apart from completing missions in the newbie area, there were no other ways.

The novice mission of the Hero's World was definitely not simple. For example, a mission with a reward of 15 copper coins would usually take 95 minutes to an hour to complete. This calculation method corresponded to the situation in the real world. Sixty copper coins was equivalent to six Xia yuan, which was about the basic hourly wage of a part-time worker.

If the middle-aged and old players did not want to complete the novice mission to obtain copper coins. The only way to obtain copper coins was through the official virtual item trading system.

It would be inappropriate to think that Shi Lei released the Chess Entertainment System just to cheat money. This was because the World of Heroes' internal Chess Card Entertainment System was definitely not like the Penguin Company. In the Hero's World, the stakes could be set according to the player's requirements.

If a player didn't have enough money and only bought 65 Xia copper coins in one go, they would receive 40 copper coins after the commission from the official virtual item trading system. If this player only played mahjong for one copper coin each time, as long as his luck wasn't too bad, how could he lose so easily?

In the real world, playing mahjong in the Ten Times? Hehe!

The low-key launch of the World of Heroes' Chess Card Entertainment System caused a lot of discussion on the official player forum. Some players initially thought that this was a scam by Dream Entertainment. After all, playing mahjong with a non-player character was the same as playing mahjong with the main system.

However, after some players tried it for themselves, they realized that the World of Heroes' Chess Card Entertainment System was very fair. It was just like the real world. It was all about luck and skill, and there was no black money involved.

The Chess Card Entertainment System received a lot of good reviews on the official player forum!

Originally, Shi Lei thought that the Chess Card Entertainment System was more suitable for middle-aged and old players. However, Shi Lei was obviously wrong. A large number of mainstream players also joined the Chess Card Entertainment System.

According to Izur's statistics, after the launch of the Chess Card Entertainment System, the highest number of players who played it at the same time was 6.8 million. This kind of situation was out of Shi Lei's expectations.

"Izur, how's the Chess Card Entertainment System's revenue and expenditure?" Shi Lei inquired.

The Chess Card Entertainment System's ultimate goal was to deplete the currency in the World of Heroes. Izur displayed the revenue and expenditure of the World of Heroes' Chess Card Entertainment System on the screen of Server No. 6. This allowed Shi Lei to view the data directly. It was much faster than exchanging information through voice chat.

Shi Lei looked at the data on the screen of Server No. 6 and smiled. In the gambling industry, the banker was the only winner. This was an undeniable truth.

The Chess Card Entertainment System had only been online for a short period of time, but it had already depleted more than 8.92 million copper coins, which was more than 895,555 Ten Times. Izur didn't cheat to obtain such a result. It was very normal. After some analysis, the answer could be found.

In the World of Heroes, players and non-player characters played for entertainment. If it was one player and three non-player characters, how could one beat three people unless one was extremely lucky?

The three of them were non-player characters in the World of Heroes. No matter who won, it was equivalent to the currency returning to the main system. It was quite difficult for a player to beat three people at once.

By the same logic, even if the participation of non-player characters was reduced, or even if it was all players, although the currency in the World of Heroes was circulating, the total amount of currency in their hands wouldn't increase. At the same time, the system would charge a service fee for the Chess Card Entertainment System, which was commonly known as' card money ', which would reduce the total amount of currency.

Therefore, whether it was players and non-player characters playing cards, or if it was all players competing, it didn't matter to the main system.

This was the benefit of being a banker!

Shi Lei was very satisfied with the results of the Chess Card Entertainment System. He grinned with a self-satisfied expression. Unfortunately, there was no one else around. Shi Lei wanted to find someone to show off, but he didn't have the chance. It was really a depressing feeling.

Just as Shi Lei was about to personally enter the Hero's World and experience the Chess Card Entertainment System, his phone rang at an inappropriate time.

Shi Lei didn't want to answer, but when he saw the caller ID, Shi Lei's expression changed slightly. He put on his Bluetooth headset, pressed the answer button, and said in English, "Good morning, Finley!"

The caller ID belonged to Raphael from the Angel Council!

It was just past eight o 'clock in the evening. Lijian Province's Summer Time was just past eight o' clock in the morning, so Shi Lei's greeting was good morning, not good evening.

Raphael's tone carried a hint of nervousness, and he spoke a little quickly, "Stone, I'm in trouble and I need your help. Can you lend me the computing resources of your Miray Technology Group?"

Fortunately, Shi Lei's English was passable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have understood Raphael's anxious and fast speech.

"Oh? Finley, what kind of trouble are you in? "Shi Lei asked curiously.

Raphael was one of the four heads of the Angel Council. Under normal circumstances, it was already very rare for him to not find trouble with others. Could it be that someone had taken the initiative to find trouble with Raphael?

"Stone, in view of your hacking skills, I can't explain it to you for the time being. If possible, I hope to obtain the computing resources of Miray Technology Group as soon as possible. Also, I hope that you can mobilize the hackers under you and let them enter this voice chat room so that they can assist me. "Raphael said bluntly.

Shi Lei didn't reject Raphael right away. In order to strengthen their 'friendship', Shi Lei couldn't refuse Raphael. Raphael had put in a lot of effort when they took down Voisin's Dongjing power grid. If Shi Lei didn't help Raphael, their 'friendship' would more or less come to an end.

"Finley, wait a moment. I'll immediately organize the computing resources of our company and hand them over to you. However, I'm afraid that the hacker under me will have to delay for a while before he can join the battle. I still need to contact him. The method to contact him is different every time. It's very troublesome. " Shi Lei explained that the so-called troublesome part wasn't actually contacting a non-existent hacker. Instead, he was ordering Izur to cover for him and at the same time set up a voice changer. Shi Lei wanted to personally help Raphael and find out what kind of trouble Raphael had caused.

"Alright! You'd better hurry. I can't hold him off for too long! "Raphael's tone was very anxious.

"Mm, at most one minute!" Shi Lei replied with certainty.

After giving Raphael a certain amount of time, Shi Lei used his lips to order Izur to quickly mobilize the resources of IWN's Secret Network and set up a defense system to prevent Raphael from causing trouble in IWN's Secret Network.

Lijian Province, New York City.

Raphael heard Shi Lei's reply and let out a sigh of relief. However, he didn't stop. His hands quickly typed on the keyboard.

'Luckily, luckily, Stone isn't an ungrateful person. Otherwise, I'd be in big trouble this time! 'Raphael stared at the data on the screen as cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
