The Tycoon God of Online Gaming
Chapter 386 - 387: 1 Copper Coin!

Chapter 386: Chapter 387: 1 Copper Coin!

Once again appearing in the portal at the center of Huaxia, Chu You stepped out, standing a few meters away to wait for Yue Xianfei, his eyes filled with contemplative thoughts.

Perhaps his way of expressing gratitude was too blunt? Others might think he was crazy.

Well, whatever. As long as he feels satisfied and happy, why bother about so much!

What the hell is that girl Lin Luo doing? Why hasn’t she logged in yet!

The City of the Main God was no longer a secret to the players. Many players from the seven major countries appeared in the portal. Many of them were hoping to try their luck here for hidden tasks or rewards. Others carried a large number of Gold Coins and headed towards Prosperous Street. They were well aware that a player had opened an exchange there, and from reliable sources, it was likely set up by the Yan Kingdom’s Night Ghost.

So far, the only player exchange in the central city of Huaxia was this one. Players from the seven major countries weren’t unaware of the profits here, but the hurdle of initial investment was too high for them to overcome.

Just opening an exchange here would cost 7 million Gold Coins. However, even if opened, what use would it be? Chu You’s exchanges have spread across all the major cities in Yan Country, encompassing all the transactions of the Yan Country players. All items of the Yan Country players are listed in this exchange, offering a huge selection for players from the other six countries. Moreover, when they list their goods here, their potential customers are the entire player population of Yan Country and a small number of players from the other five countries.

So as long as the price is reasonable, don’t worry about not being able to sell.

How could others planning to open an exchange in the Central City of Huaxia compete? Without a significant player base, they can’t compete with Chu You’s exchange at all.

Chu You has monopolized the exchange, and the way he did it made others concede. They know that this exchange is now a gold mine, gradually being recognized by players from all seven countries as the trusted exchange. The longer this goes on, the more solid it becomes. Unless they attack Yan Country and destroy Chu You’s exchanges in Yan Country towns, and then massively establish exchanges in their own countries, there’s no possible way to suppress him.

At this point, Chu You saw a familiar figure appearing in the portal chamber, Yue Xianfei didn’t waste much time. This was her second visit to this magnificent city. The portal was massive, with player figures constantly appearing here. Yue Xianfei looked around and quickly spotted someone waving at her.

Seeing Night Ghost, Yue Xianfei showed a smile, but it was a strange one. She then walked towards him.

"Sis, let’s go that way." Upon seeing his friend from a former life, Chu You’s call of ’sis’ rolled off his tongue naturally as if they had always been that close.

Yue Xianfei was once again taken aback. He seemed entirely genuine. She had the weird feeling that she truly was his older sister.

Did he know her in real life? Or was he some guy from her circle of friends? Who could it possibly be?!

"Alright, lead the way." Thereafter, Yue Xianfei casually followed Chu You, who seemed incredibly familiar with her.

"Hey, bro, you seem to know me pretty well, huh!" Yue Xianfei found a topic for conversation while they were on their way.

"Hehe, yes, but now I must play a mysterious character. Don’t probe into my identity for the time being." Chu You decided to nip her curiosity in the bud. "When the time is right, I will reveal who I am to you myself." He added, giving her a mysterious glance.

"Oh ho, playing this game with me, are you? Do you realize that this is what I find most interesting about you right now, and yet you ask me not to ask about it. That seems a bit overboard, doesn’t it?" Yue Xianfei said half-jokingly while covertly observing Chu You’s expressions.

"I can’t help it either. If we look at it from a pessimistic standpoint, I’m currently a globally wanted fugitive. Lots of people are looking for me."

"Hmph, are you afraid I’ll leak your secret?"

"Not really, some things simply can’t be kept a secret just by keeping mum about it. The power of the state is beyond your imagination."

"Is it really that scary!" Yue Xianfei was somewhat skeptical.

"Just trust me."

"I do trust you. You’re a god-tier player after all. Anything you say can become a reality, haha." Yue Xianfei joked. Then, her expression turned serious, "You’re a man with big secrets. Don’t worry, I won’t pry into this matter anymore." Seeing Chu You’s demeanor change slightly, Yue Xianfei immediately tactfully backed off. This man in front of her was really interesting!

While they were talking, they arrived at Prosperous Street. There were a lot of players setting up stalls on the street. Seeing this, Chu You suddenly realized why this place became a player’s market in his previous life. It was because of the existence of the exchange here.

In any place where there’s an exchange, there will be a large number of players setting up stalls at the entrance, displaying their products. On one hand, they can attract players’ attention by shouting, knowing that players coming to the exchange are here to trade. As such, player products have a higher chance of being sold through shouting. On the other hand, players can keep updated on the market conditions and share information with each other.

Unlike the last time, this street is now crowded with many players coming and going.

Since this street is not a main avenue, there are no ’city management’ officers here! This is also why a player’s market was formed. Those who want to set up stalls in player-dense areas like the portal run the risk of being spotted by patrolling guards, who punish stall keepers severely.

"Here it is, this is my exchange." Chu You led Yue Xianfei to the front of the exchange and explained.

"Shanhai Exchange, what a nice name!" Yue Xianfei admired the name of the exchange.

"Wait a bit, I’ll call two people over. If you need anything in the future, just tell them. They’ll inform me immediately."

"Let me in to take a look." Yue Xianfei nodded first, then said.

Seeing Night Ghost grunted in affirmation, Yue Xianfei entered the exchange on her own.

"Old Kill, get me two working girls." Chu You sent a voice message to the avatar of Killing Commander in the friends panel.

"Uh, what are working girls?" Killing Commander expressed his confusion.

"Here’s the thing, these girls don’t have to do anything all day, they just sit and act as a messenger for me. As for their salary...it’s paid monthly, with a salary of 10,000 Gold Coins a month!" Chu You thought and said. An monthly salary of 10,000 Gold Coins is quite high, really very high, and currently, no working player could earn a monthly salary of 10,000 Gold Coins.

Driven by Chu You’s rebirth effects, the conversion rate of game coins to real-world currency is different from his previous life. Game Coins have completely taken off, with a ratio of 1:5, 1:7, even up to 1:11. If we take the middle ratio, 1 Gold Coin = 7 Soft Sister Coins, 10,000 Gold Coins equals 70,000 Soft Sister Coins, a monthly salary of 70,000!

And the work is incredibly easy, they don’t need to do anything, essentially acting as a messenger. Of course, they must be able to tolerate loneliness. The reason for paying monthly rather than weekly is to prevent the employees from leaving after receiving their Gold Coins. Being paid monthly at least ensures that they would consider the consequences before resigning.

"This matter must be kept confidential and cannot be advertised."

"Is it that important? Why not just reassign them from the Super God Guild?"

"That’s not possible, they won’t last long."

"Alright, I’ll get on it right away!" Killing Commander decided to handle this personally. Although Boss Night Ghost said this recruitment was only for a messenger, he quickly realized that a messenger is effectively a ’secretary’. The role of a secretary is very important, so it’s crucial to find reliable people.

After handling this, Chu You went in and found Yue Xianfei intently looking at something. He understood that she was viewing the exchange interface and filtering items.

Just then, Yue Xianfei suddenly chuckled. Chu You did not know why she was laughing...

Yue Xianfei closed the exchange interface, turned her head to look at Night Ghost, and said with a playful tone: "Oh my obedient little brother, so this is how you trick your sister."

"What do you mean, sis? I don’t understand."

"I just entered your name and found something you’re selling. There’s a potion priced at 1.5 million Gold Coins. Be honest, if you didn’t know me, would you ask me to buy this exorbitantly priced potion?!" As she said this, Yue Xianfei pretended to be angry, giving Chu You a smug look."

"Hehe!" He lowered his head and smiled, then looked into her eyes. "Sis, you truly are smart, you’re right, I’ve decided on a price of 1.5 million Gold Coins. If you don’t agree, I’ll have to snatch the inheritance." As he spoke, a nonchalant look flashed in his eyes, as if seizing someone’s opportunity was a casual event.

Upon hearing this, Yue Xianfei’s face changed slightly, and a sense of dread emerged from within. This newly acknowledged little brother of hers was quite presumptuous!

"You dare!"

Chu You opened the exchange interface, and then took off his potion priced at 1.5 million Gold Coins from the list, and closed the interface. He then turned to Yue Xianfei and said: "I have already recruited the messengers. Sis, why don’t you also get a messenger? This way, I can easily contact you when I have something to tell you."

Hearing Night Ghost’s words, Yue Xianfei’s eyes brightened, and she nodded: "You are smart indeed. Yes, this will allow us to communicate instantly."

"Yeah, consider the messengers as translators, and we are the heads of two countries, haha." As Chu You spoke these words and smiled, he glanced at the friends list and noticed that Lin Luor still hadn’t logged on. There was an almost imperceptible flash in his eyes.

"Hiring someone for this requires a salary, how much are you offering?"

"A monthly salary of 10,000 Gold Coins."

"Wow, 10,000 Gold Coins, that’s high! Sis also wants to be your messenger."

"Let’s not talk about that anymore, come on out, I have something to give you!" After whispering this, he took the lead and walked out with a mysterious demeanor.

"What kind of little trick is he trying to pull now?" Yue Xianfei murmured as she followed behind.

After Chu You walked out of the exchange and chose a relatively secluded corner, he opened his bag, and then took out the unnamed weapon schematic. With a thought, a soft light burst from the schematic in his hand. At this point, four weapons had been crafted from this schematic, and it still had the potential to craft six more.

"What are you doing?" Yue Xianfei looked puzzled.

Then she saw Chu You sit down and set up a stall. He placed one weapon in front of him and cautiously scanned the crowd around him, as if on guard against something.

"Sis, hurry up and buy this item from me!"

Hearing the urgency in his voice, Yue Xianfei didn’t hesitate to choose Chu You’s item. When she saw the Codex Weapon, her eyes went blank, particularly when she saw that the weapon was priced at only one Copper Coin. Subconsciously, Yue Xianfei spent 1 Copper Coin to buy the weapon!
