Chapter 95 Even Games Need Efficiency
Chapter 95 Even Games Need Efficiency
This game wasn't over yet; he still had to repair the car tomorrow. But after closing the game, Chen Sui opened the group chat and saw that, for some reason, several people had left. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, considering he had painstakingly built up these group members by sending out group numbers one car after another.
At this point, Kapok directly requested to add her as a friend from the group chat.
After the approval, before Chen Sui could even send a greeting, she saw a message from Mu Mian: "Team Leader, I'm sorry, I dragged you down QAQ."
Without thinking, Chen Sui replied: It's nothing.
Kapok then replied: If you had told me to quit just now, we should have won by now with the orange weapons.
Seeing the internal struggle in his writing, Chen Sui comforted him: It's okay, we still managed to get through it with your help, it just took a little longer. It's not like you can't learn it, you're just a little slower.
After finishing typing, Chen Sui wanted to lock her phone and put it aside, but then she opened the chat window and continued typing: When I first joined the teaching group, the group leader was very impatient. I thought that if I started my own group, I would never do that. I must do my best to help every newbie who joined the group to clear the level.
Kapok replied after a while: Thank you, leader / tears.
The next evening, Chen Sui, as usual, asked for people to fix the car in the group chat, and even tagged Mu Mian. Mu Mian happily joined the group, thinking that she would quickly recruit people as usual, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get anyone to join.
Either the mouse is poisoned, or the computer wasn't dried properly after washing; otherwise, I would have bought it.
After a while, Mumian told her in the group that she was feeling a little unwell and left the group. Suddenly, everyone who was busy before became available.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Sui realized what was going on. It was probably because everyone felt that they were protecting their relatives and friends, and that they were taking advantage of Mu Mian, who was a burden, to bleed everyone dry. They were too embarrassed to say it openly, so they could only pretend that they had something to do.
If we take another step further, could it be that Kapok deliberately said she was feeling unwell and withdrew from the meeting to avoid putting herself in a difficult position?
Who knows? Worrying is useless, so Chen Sui can only focus on doing the things at hand.
For the next few days, Mu Mian stopped chatting in the group. Just as the initial excitement wore off, Chen Sui's addiction subsided, and she stopped logging in every day. When someone urged her to organize a group buy, she would just give a perfunctory reply like "I'll do it next time." The group became much quieter.
That day, Lü Zhizhe came to see Chen Che for tea again and complained about her ex-boyfriend, Fangzi Huajie. Unexpectedly, she was quite devoted and still couldn't forget Lü Zhizhe, who was already gone from her perspective. She would chat with him privately every day, saying, "Baby, I will only have you as my boyfriend for the rest of my life!"
But from Lü Zhizhe's perspective, it's a bit terrifying. He still has to play the game; he can't stay offline forever.
"Sigh, I want to switch servers, but I don't know where to go," Lu Zhizhe sighed.
Chen Che smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I recommended Chen Sui to play World of Warcraft before, but she wasn't interested. Turns out she's playing JX3 now and is even leading a raid."
Lu Zhizhe exclaimed in surprise, "You've only been playing for a short time and you're already leading your own raid group? That's amazing!"
Then his eyes lit up and he said, "That would be perfect for me to make all the big and small iron weapons. I'll make an orange weapon to play with."
The two then called Chen Sui over and asked her which server she was on. Chen Sui had originally chosen a server called Tianbao Dameng, and Lü Zhizhe could transfer to it. They immediately decided to spend money to transfer to the server when they got back.
Then Lü Zhizhe asked, "Chen Sui, what's the price for your package of large and small iron?"
Chen Sui, who was drinking tea next to Chen Che, was taken aback upon hearing this: "What does this mean?"
"Huh? Don't you understand?"
Chen Sui shook her head, looking completely bewildered.
Upon hearing this, Lü Zhizhe explained to Chen Sui some of the unspoken rules of the game that everyone knew.
For example, crafting an orange-tier weapon requires one Mystic Crystal, commonly known as "Big Iron," and two hundred Meteorite Iron, commonly known as "Small Iron." If all of these are auctioned off, sometimes no one might want them, while other times the competition could be fierce.
For players like Lü Zhizhe who need orange weapons, bidding every time is troublesome. So why not find a raid leader who can distribute the large and small iron weapons to players who need them every cooldown?
Of course, the team leader has made contributions and naturally expects a return. In addition to the normal amount paid to the team, the team leader needs to be paid extra as a service fee. This is a very common practice, as long as the "small and large packages" are clearly stated in the recruitment notice.
Even items like Mystic Crystals, which have an extremely low drop rate, if they actually drop, the team will first receive thousands or tens of thousands in salary, and then the team leader will also receive a bonus.
Of course, finding such a reliable group leader is not easy in itself. After all, everyone is online and there are things like deposits involved. If someone runs away with their belongings and you get scammed, it's not good to ask Brother Jing for help.
Not to mention the amazing group leader who's been with you for a long time, become so familiar with you, and will give you free rides and all sorts of gear.
Fortunately, Chen Sui and Lü Zhizhe are not online friends, but real-life friends, so there is no such risk.
Of course, Chen Sui wouldn't ask Lü Zhizhe for extra money for the large and small iron packages. First, they were all friends, and second, he had already spent all of Lü Zhizhe's gold coins when he installed the computer last time.
The next day, when Lü Zhizhe transferred to the server, Chen Sui, after a long time, tagged all members in her game group: "Quickly farm big and small packs, people come and get to work!"
The first to respond was Kapok, who had been silent for a long time: "Wow! Leader, you're back!"
"Huh? That's not right, why is the guild leader talking about speedrunning, not tutorials?" Mu Mian asked.
"Kapok, I need to pack some metal parts for my friend, so I won't be running any training groups for a while."
"Oh, okay, will you still offer classes in the future?" Mu Mian asked, her words carrying a hint of anticipation.
"Well, we'll see," Chen Sui replied casually.
There must be rules for speed runs. It is assumed that everyone is an experienced user, understands their responsibilities, prioritizes efficiency, and will be fined for making mistakes.
Everyone else was easy to talk to, but Lü Zhizhe was genuinely clueless. However, Lü Zhizhe remained calm and told Chen Sui to just assemble the group normally.
Sure enough, experienced players are efficient at clearing dungeons. They don't need to explain the mechanics; they just go in, get assigned tasks, and the whole process goes very smoothly.
The only problem was that the boss's targeting mechanism chose Lü Zhizhe, and Lü Zhizhe didn't know how to handle it, which led to a team wipe.
Immediately, someone in the chat started questioning: "Really? If you can't, why are you trying to speed-farm?"
Just as Chen Sui was pondering how to end this, Lü Zhizhe directly traded three thousand gold coins to Chen Sui.
"Consider it a fine I paid. I'll deal with the easy ones, and I'll just lie there and do nothing if it's difficult. I don't want any salary, you guys can continue."
When someone with the ID "Pure Purple Clouds" typed this line in the chat, everyone understood.
"Oh, it's the boss. Boss, please lie down and relax. We'll take care of the work."
…………
Everything went smoothly after that. This batch even yielded special effect weapons and mission items, including the useful Sword-Suppressing Talisman from Boss Qi Chun.
There was another Qi Pure player in the group, but he already felt a bit hopeless before he even started bidding. Judging from the boss's aggressive bidding just now, he probably couldn't win the bid.
Chen Sui began bidding.
The worker, Qi Chun Ge, was the first to call out his price in the chat: 5000 gold.
This is the starting price.
Surprisingly, the innocent Zixia remained silent.
Just as some were wondering if the boss wasn't interested, the innocent Zixia spoke up:
"I searched on Baidu but still couldn't figure it out. It seems to be something I can use?"
"Yes, boss, it's a special weapon quest item with the effects of your cultivation technique. It's really lucky to have come across it."
"Oh, that ten thousand."
"Uh... Boss, you can increase the price by one thousand."
"It's alright, I'll just bid ten thousand," said the innocent Zixia in a nonchalant tone.
"Okay, boss is generous."
Qi Chun Ge, who was working part-time, gritted his teeth inwardly. If he were the only one there, he would have been a pure bargain, but now he had a strong competitor.
So, unwilling to give up, he called out another price: "Eleven thousand."
"Twenty thousand." Pure-hearted Zixia typed in the chat box without hesitation.
"PPPPP..."
The guy who works part-time, Qi Chun Ge, said on P that he was giving up bidding.
But it's good that I can enjoy my salary; who knows, maybe I'll get it by chance next time.
"Then, count down from three, two, one, twenty thousand, the Qi Pure special effects weapon mission is sold." Chen Sui confirmed it over the microphone.
"Team leader, other teams have all sorts of well-written congratulatory messages when they get good items, why don't you say a single word?" Chunqing Zixia typed in the chat box, teasingly.
Although Chen Sui knew that the ID belonged to an acquaintance, she had no choice but to accept it. Lü Zhizhe was the kind of person who would act crazy in front of others, so she pretended to be stupid and said, "Hehe, it's okay for me to direct the team, but I'm too good at saying this kind of thing. I'll just say congratulations to the boss."
Then, after thinking for a moment, he asked everyone to send a message in the chat: "Congratulations, boss."
Now, Lü Zhizhe's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he stopped making trouble.
At this point, all the equipment for the five bosses had been distributed. The majority of the money in the gold farming group came from Chunqing Zixia. After Chen Sui calculated the wages, she had to call out each person's name individually for the transaction and read out their amazing IDs before those who received their wages left the instance.
There is also a hidden boss, Li Tan, whose mechanics are so difficult that no team has been able to clear it yet. A team member casually said in the chat that he felt that even in ten years, they would probably still be fighting Egg Boss, which was copied and agreed by many.
This group has a lot of members, the loot is great, the leader is sweet, and the boss has strong spending power. Who wouldn't want to join a group like this?
