This Game is Too Real

"Fuck!"

The real world, somewhere.

Watching the two-line announcement pop up on the official website, the trader sitting in front of the computer couldn't help but let out a foul language.

Seeing his colleagues look at him in unison, he coughed to cover up the embarrassment, and said quickly.

"Temporary suspension... Can't trade anymore."

This sentence stirred up a thousand waves.

"Can't trade?!"

"what's the situation?!"

"Is it a problem with funding?"

"How can you drop the chain at such a critical time!"

There was an uproar in the office, and the old man sitting at the other desk suddenly stood up and asked anxiously.

"Why can't we trade? What happened?"

The trader pushed away the chair, rested the back of his head on the cushion, and pinched his eyebrows with a headache.

"The explanation on the official website is that the server network fluctuates... In short, orders can now be placed or cancelled, but they cannot continue to be traded."

Everyone: "..."

Network fluctuations are okay.

This excuse is too bad, isn't it? !

Servers all over the world fluctuate with the network, and the official website of "Wasteland OL" will not be affected.

The Chinese-faced man coughed dryly.

"...It's quite that guy's style."

That guy, of course, was referring to Aguang.

In the past six months, they have collected and sorted out almost every post, every sentence, and even every punctuation mark that Aguang posted on the forum.

All in order not to miss critical information.

Like this auction.

If they ignore the clue, let competitors buy the technology.

That's really a big loss!

Sitting up from his office chair, the trader paused and continued.

"However, while the bad news is that trading has been suspended, the good news is... the auction has been brought forward to now."

Everyone in the office whispered.

the old man frowned.

"Is this good news?"

"Of course," the trader said of course, "we have a first-mover advantage. Although we are not sure about the number of opponents' positions and how much our opponents bought, but from the ratio of our trading volume to the trading volume, our Great advantage!"

Hearing this sentence, everyone finally stretched their brows.

The old man who stood up earlier was also relieved and sat back on the chair.

After the meeting yesterday, he immediately found Academician Liu Yiping of the Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and consulted in detail about technical issues such as lithium batteries and lithium dendrites.

In order to understand the twists and turns, he made several pages of notes alone!

According to Academician Liu Yiping, although there is little hope of solving the problem of lithium dendrites in a short period of time, once this problem can be solved, the impact on the domestic new energy industry and even the national energy strategy will be amazing.

This time, even the always rigorous Academician Liu used the exaggerated expression "amazing".

Its significance can be imagined great!

In any case, they must take down this auction!

The Chinese-faced man coughed lightly.

"Let's not make this F... I mean let's not talk too much, what about the rules of the auction?"

The trader touched the bridge of his nose and said, staring at the computer screen.

"...The rules are the same as those of other auctions. The highest bidder wins, and the price increase shall not be less than 1% each time. However, since the transaction is completed on the other party's platform, and the transaction currency is limited to silver coins, the quotation cannot exceed the account. upper limit."

How much silver coins each account holds is anonymous, but it is a clear sign for the operator of "Wasteland OL".

In other words, the operation of falsely reporting the auction price is impossible, and the balance of the account is the upper limit of the quotation.

The national character face man frowned.

"...In other words, you can't quote a high price first, and you have to wait until the delivery date to get it all together."

The trader nodded.

"Yes, according to the rules, the settlement will take place immediately after the auction is completed... This is actually good news for us. We only need to bid a 'minimum markup' above the second place to win. This auction."

The old man asked immediately.

"When will the auction start?"

The trader turned his attention to the screen.

"It's started!"

More than just started.

The competition of all parties has even heated up!

An anonymous account first reported the floor price of 1 million silver coins, and then the second account did not hesitate to raise the placard, directly raising the price to 2 million silver coins, and then the parties began to pull in units of 100,000.

According to public information, before the suspension of the silver coin trading platform, the highest price of silver coin transactions has approached 600!

The average transaction price of the day was directly pulled from 50 to 80!

According to the average price, these 2 million silver coins are equivalent to 160 million!

Just crazy!

However, everyone sitting in the room is very clear that compared to the value of the auction item itself, the price of more than 100 million yuan is probably more than a fraction.

A painting can be sold for hundreds of millions, not to mention this key technology that can change an industry?

The reason why no 0 is added is simply because there are so many chips in the market.

At present, the total number of players in the game is about 3,000. On average, each person counts 10,000 silver coins in his pocket, which adds up to 30 million.

Counting a few high-profile players with industries in the game, doubling the "total currency in circulation" to 60 million is already quite remarkable.

In addition, there is a huge group of cloud players participating in the transaction, diverting a part of the silver coins, and the opponents hidden in the trading platform are also selling at the same time.

Even if they have already acquired the capital, they have only grabbed 10% of the chips in one day.

Don't look at the 10% number that seems to be very small.

As a non-issuer of the currency, holding 10% of the total circulation of the currency—that is, nearly 6 million silver coins, is already a very aggressive strategy for buying silver!

The cost of hundreds of millions, if the final exchange is an e-card with "Thank you for your patronage", everyone in the whole room has to take responsibility.

In a sense, their fate has been tied to "Wasteland OL".

Although most of them have never entered the game...

Staring at the laptop on his lap, the man with the national character clenched his fists, his palms seemed to seep sweat.

He is also a closed beta player.

Brother Guang never cheated on his own people.

He believed that Brother Guang would not cheat him!

As time passed, the auction price quickly mentioned 3 million silver coins, and the speed of the increase began to slow down.

The trader who had been standing still was suddenly relieved.

"...4 million should be their limit."

"Each time the price increase should not be less than 1%, we only need to hit the price directly to 4 million, including the 40,000 price increase, we will basically win."

While speaking, he tapped his index finger on the keyboard and entered a series of numbers.

After carefully checking the string of 0s, he then hit enter.

Like a button to stop time.

At the moment when the quotation was sent, the entire auction window was like the pause button was pressed, and no new quotation popped up again.

Then, the 3-minute pop-up started to flash.

[4 million once! 】

【4 million twice! 】

【……make a deal! 】

The office, which had been quiet for 9 minutes, suddenly burst into excited cries.

"It's done!"

"Hahaha! We won!"

"Nice job!"

The man with the national character face finally stretched his eyebrows, his fists loosened and then clenched.

Even though he was always steady, he couldn't help but shout hello with his colleagues.

The old man walked over to the trader excitedly and approached the computer.

"Where's the stuff? That film... How did they give it to me?"

The auction is won, there is no suspense about this.

The vast majority of players use RMB to trade, which is a coincidence if you can lose.

But now the key is, where is the auction?

The office fell silent.

The man with the national character face suddenly stood up, threw the laptop on the sofa, walked quickly to the office door and opened the door.

The ground was empty and there was nothing.

Fortunately there was nothing.

It's scary enough to have a helmet delivered to his door.

It would be terrifying if it could be delivered here!

The reactions of the others were different from his, and they all leaned in front of the computer and stared nervously at the screen.

Soon a line of pop-ups came over.

The trader said excitedly.

"...The other party has initiated a data transfer request to us!"

"Hurry up, hurry up with that confirmation!" The old man urged excitedly, "Don't make a mistake!"

"I know!"

It's obviously impossible to go wrong.

No matter how shaking the hand holding the mouse is, it is impossible to shake to the fork in the upper right corner.

It didn't take long for 10 GB of data to complete the transfer, and the downloaded file was actually a compressed package in rar format.

However, the form in which the data is stored is not important, and the decompression is done quickly.

Looking at the pile of information lying in the folder, the people surrounding the computer couldn't help holding their breath.

"...Improved artificial SEI membrane!"

"It's not just the research literature...it's even the technological process!"

The old man standing in front of the computer said excitedly.

"Quick! Immediately send the materials to the Institute of Materials Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences!"

The man in the green shirt nodded solemnly and said cleanly.

"Yes!"

The assistant on the side also took out the phone that was turned off in his pocket.

"I'll go outside and call Academician Liu Yiping!"

The old man said quickly.

"Let me talk to Academician Liu!"

"I just asked him about the lithium dendrite yesterday. I will explain it more clearly when I talk to him about it."

Because of these 10 Gs of data, the office is busy inside and out.

This kind of technology related to the national energy strategy is naturally impossible to send by online disk or email.

It didn't take long for special cars with white plates to leave the compound one after another, heading in different directions.

Meanwhile, across the ocean.

The office of a CIA project team.

Watching that the auction item was taken away by the mysterious buyer, Fick kicked the table cursingly.

"Fake!"

This is the third time he has done this today.

The legs of the table were almost crippled by him, but he still couldn't relieve his anger.

4 million silver coins!

Where did such a large bid list come from?

"The time is too hasty, and it just happened to catch up with the temporary suspension... One day, there is no room to operate at this time." The trader sitting in front of the computer looked painful.

He has been working overtime for nearly 24 hours in a row, but now he has encountered such a foolish thing again, it can be said that he is physically and mentally exhausted.

The colleague sitting next to him shook his head.

"...We have almost bought out all the chips in the hands of speculators. No matter how much we push the price up, it's useless without volume."

"The battle is over before the bullets are fired... Shet, I have never played such a suffocating trade!" said the trader, scratching his head.

"The worst part is, it's not just us who are placing orders in US dollars! Someone is competing with us on a plate for chips!"

"Damn, can't you wait for these dog things?! We didn't sell them to them after we photographed them! What are you and your own people robbing!"

The office was full of complaints.

No one can accept such a result after working 24 hours of overtime.

The trader turned to Fick, who was in charge of the case.

"What do I do now? The auction is over, and we spent a lot of money to buy a bunch of waste paper... Do you want to throw it away when the auction opens?"

Fick's face was gloomy, he folded his arms and thought for a long time, and suddenly said.

"Don't be in a hurry to throw it away... The auction may not be the only one this time."

Spending tens of millions of dollars to buy a pile of waste paper, even if he has the backstage of Babel, he can't keep him.

Not winning this auction is at best a tactical defeat.

If you choose to stop loss at this time and throw away the silver coins in your hand, it is tantamount to admitting your strategic failure.

No matter how much economic losses he reduces for his patrons and superiors, it cannot save his own career.

Now he has only one way to go, and that is to prove that the string of numbers in the account is not worthless.

How to prove it?

Simple.

As long as the buyer who bought the auction item, send out the "buyer show".

Whether it is active or passive, as long as his superiors and gold owners can see that the silver coin can really buy good things, the reason why he didn't buy it is because the support of the high-level is not enough, not only will he not He was demoted because of a tactical defeat, but he was able to get more support from the headquarters!

There is no hiding what is truly valuable.

As long as you keep an eye on relevant news in the industry, you can always find some clues.

Thinking of this, Fick gradually calmed down and regained his confidence.

A loss is nothing.

They still have 3 million silver coins in their account!

The next auction may not be without a chance.

"...But when is the next time? That website, there are no new announcements." The trader whispered.

Everyone in the office looked at each other and whispered in whispers.

"It doesn't matter when the next time is!"

Fick raised his voice and interrupted everyone's chatter.

"...The important thing is that we should establish a normalized acquisition mechanism for silver coins."

"Not only can we not throw the chips in our hands, but we must continue to buy when the price is right to ensure that we have enough silver coin reserves in our accounts."

"In this way, we will not be in such a rush as today when we have such an opportunity next time!"

Speaking of which, he changed his words.

"So in the final analysis... the reason for this defeat is not that we did not contribute, but that the headquarters did not support us enough!

"If they had followed our advice and started buying silver coins a month ago, what happened today would never have happened!"

Looking around at the people in the office, his voice was firm, even fanatical.

"Everyone, this is a gift from extraterrestrial civilizations. Those madly robbed bids are the evidence. The value behind this is far from being measured by money! And it's not just us who discovered this!"

"I will write a report immediately, propose to our headquarters, and get the support of Congress to increase our budget!"

"In any case, we must not be left behind in this competition!"

There was a noisy discussion in the office, and the expressions on everyone's faces were different.

Some nodded in agreement, while others thought he had gone mad.

Betting your career, or even your entire career, on something that is fundamentally uncertain.

Not to mention them, even Fick thinks he must be crazy!

Familiar scenes are being staged all over the world.

It's not just intelligence agencies that are staring at the auction, but also stakeholder industry giants.

This includes the darlings of the new energy industry, as well as the giants who sell oil and gas.

Although the transaction price of that auction item is not even comparable to a piece of art they put at home, it is very likely to shake the market of hundreds of billions or even trillions.

Even completely change an industry!

At least they have to figure out a way to figure out, what exactly is that auction item?

And who took it away?

How to use it?

Intelligence agencies in various countries are working overtime and become ants on a hot pot.

Everyone is racking their brains to find a way to investigate the identity of the mysterious buyer.

And the mysterious buyer was not idle either. He was also working overtime, trying to restore the mysterious film in the laboratory...

...

On the other side, the wasteland world.

The brightly lit Dawn City Square has completely escaped into the embrace of the night.

As the clock struck twelve, the stalls serving beer and food closed one after another.

People who were drinking to their fullest huddled back to their homes, while those who were unconscious were simply lying on the side of the road, waiting for the guards to drag them into the station to sober up.

Just looking at this place doesn't look like a wasteland!

It's just heaven here!

In the banquet hall not far from the square, the staggered voices of Gongchou gradually came to an end.

Looking at the long banquet table that seemed to be swept away by a typhoon, Chu Guang hummed a little tune he heard from somewhere, enjoying the afterglow of the end of the banquet.

And that last bit of good time.

Just by looking at his lazy appearance, no one can associate him with the "mastermind behind the scenes" who stirred up the situation in another world.

"Master, the auction is over." Xiao Qi whispered in his ear.

Chu Guang replied in a casual tone.

"Oh, I see."

After waiting for a long time without writing anything, Xiao Qi asked curiously.

"Huh? Isn't the master curious about who took that thing in the end?"

Chu Guang smiled.

"What's so curious about this, they have a few silver coins in their pockets, I know better than them."

joke.

Since the Alpha0.1 version, he has developed a good habit of "checking" the players' warehouses.

Now in the Beta version, the digital management of the new alliance is further deepened, and there is no reason to abandon this fine tradition.

This wave not only directly recovered 4 million silver coins, but also indirectly locked the liquidity of at least 30 million silver coins.

Only by locking a part of the excess liquidity can more liquidity be released to industries that need money.

Otherwise it will cause inflation.

I really can't understand it. The silver coins in the pockets of cloud players can be understood as time deposits without interest.

The treasury of the new alliance has increased by 4 million silver coins, and the central bank of the alliance has an additional credit balance of 30 million silver coins.

The former can be used to invest in public utilities, build new settlements, and fill the fiscal deficit caused by the war, while the latter can lend to companies that need money to help the supply side expand production.

Whether it is a player-run enterprise or an NPC-run enterprise.

As for the ordinary players whose pockets were emptied, it was no loss.

They can take RMB or US dollars to spend in real life, and work harder to earn silver coins by doing tasks.

Whether it is new alliances, players, or cloud players who are not involved in the game at all, they all benefit.

Because no one loses at all.

So this wave is of course a win-win!

As for how many times he won, Chu Guang was too lazy to forget for the time being, he just wanted to concentrate on enjoying the banquet.

Haven't been so relaxed in a long time.

Since the announcement of the start of the Northern Expedition two months ago, he has not been idle for a moment.

Now the taut string in his brain has finally loosened a little.

As for troublesome things.

You can wait until tonight to think about it.

Watching the last player staggered out of the banquet scene, Chu Guang raised the wine glass towards his back.

"Enjoy yourself!"

"The honor belongs to you!"

"This is the reward you deserve!"

Don't blame the Lord for suspending the silver coin trading platform.

This is protecting you.

After a shallow taste of the fine wine in the glass, Chu Guang put the glass aside.

If it weren't for the fact that today was a special day, he wouldn't drink at all.

Boss Xia, who loves both food and drink, is already lying on the table, grinning with a grin.

Xiaoyu stared at the cake on the plate and ate happily.

Pai, who was sitting next to her, was not so ladylike.

It was the first time she had eaten such an extravagant delicacy, and her mouth was full of cream and chocolate residue, and before she could swallow the contents, she shouted excitedly.

"Woooooo! What is this thing! Damn, this is so delicious!"

The little fish raised the corner of his mouth slightly proudly.

"Cream! And chocolate! Dessert is the speciality of Dawn City!"

"What about that, what about that?" Pai, who was holding a fork, looked at the other plate on the table with shining eyes.

"That's a charcoal-roasted deer leg...but it's best not to eat barbecue with cakes, it will be very greasy!"

Although Xiaoyu seriously taught the experience of tasting food, Pai didn't listen at all, and couldn't wait to put a large piece of sliced ​​grilled meat into his mouth.

Trying to swallow the food.

Touching his slightly bulging belly, it may be that it can't be stuffed anymore, Pai finally put down the cutlery he had collected in his hand and leaned back on the chair.

"Woooooo, I don't understand, why do you have so many delicious food!"

Xiaoyu asked curiously.

"Aren't you there?"

When the two of them chatted earlier, she learned that Camp 101 was a place similar to Bate Street.

But instead of the old mayor who exploited them, there were a lot of people more knowledgeable than Grandpa Charlie. They invented a lot of useful things and lived a life of indifference.

To be honest, Xiaoyu was a little envious in his heart.

Especially listening to her say that when they are very young, they will be taught to write and count, and when they are a little older, they can learn more powerful knowledge.

It was an experience she had never had before.

If it wasn't for Big Brother Chu, she would probably still be worrying about how to carry the heavy big iron pot on the stove, and she wouldn't have learned so much interesting knowledge.

"Hey," Pai sighed when he talked about his own home, "Although synthetic food is not inedible... But that taste, I advise you not to have too much hope."

"Is it a nutritional cream?" Xiaoyu asked curiously~www.readwn.com~ It's not a nutritional cream... We live a little better than the average survivor settlement, but we talk about energy and substances. Not rich enough. "

Speaking of which, Pai suddenly thought of the great gift the manager had given them before.

That truck seems to be loaded with a lot of goodies!

Thinking that everyone in the camp can also share these delicious delicacies, Pai felt as if he had eaten honey, and was indescribably happy.

What the master said was right.

Share with people, and even monotonous food can become delicious.

Not to mention the delicious food!

Taking a peek at the manager who was leaning back on the chair and closed his eyes, who was about to fall asleep, Pai made up his mind.

As the representative of the visiting group, she must sign a beautiful agreement to go back!

Let everyone eat such a delicious meal!
