Chapter 294.1: Cloud Players, You Get To Participate Too!

"800 silver coins are equal to 40,000; 8,000 silver coins are equal to 400,000; 80,000 silver coins are equal to 4,000,000..."

Well...

There would be a massive problem if things were calculated that way.

There was no need to play an epoch-making immersive virtual reality online game, anyone who had played phenomenal MMORPG games would know what the so-called G Price was.

When he could really take out hundreds of thousands of silver coins and listed them on the forum for sale, silver coins would no longer be that valuable anymore.

However, if he could level up to LV30 or even LV40 when others were still at LV20, and if he could drive a starship and toss away exoframes when others were still trying to get them, even if the silver coins were not so valuable, so what?

When someone else had 10,000 silver coins in their pocket, he would have hundreds of millions!

As long as he stayed in tier 0, and was always ahead of everyone, even if he could only traded 50 silver coins for 1RMB, he may not earn less than when he could trade 1 silver coin for 50RMB.

If a new version was launched, new equipment was released, or a large number of players entered the game, the price of silver coins may increase instead.

At present, there were only 1,600 players in the closed beta test of Wasteland Online, but the number of applications had already broken the million mark. A group of people were even able to make the price of silver coins soar by merely relying on hype and a bunch of game screenshots and CG videos.

That was just the beginning.

Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, everyone would have a helmet in their hands, and human civilization would enter a new era.

At that time, regardless of the price of silver coins, his return would be far more than 40,000, and may even be more than 400 million...

Ye Wei felt his heart pounding.

For the first time, he had the idea of wanting to turn professional.

On the way back from the computer room to the dormitory, Ye Wei, who had just received a huge sum of money, was on cloud nine; he didn't even realise that he had forgotten to eat lunch until he returned.

"Ah Wei, are you fantasizing about some girls again?"

"Get lost." Ye Wei looked up at his roommate lying on the bed.

The shorty was called Sun Qian, and Ye Wei had a very close relationship with him. In the past, they often played Pubg together, but he had quit playing for a while now.

Ordinary games could no longer satisfy him any more.

"I'm going to get something to eat. Are you coming?"

The roommate replied with a cheeky grin. "I'll go as long as I don't need to pay."

"Sure, I'll pay."

His buddy's eyes widened in shock instantly. "What! For real?"

He was just joking earlier. After all, he originally didn't plan to roll out of bed.

Hearing that it was going to be Ye Wei's treat, the head of the dormitory and Brother Liu also began to yell.

"Ah Wei be my sugar daddy!"

"Brother Wei is awesome!"

Ye Wei rolled his eyes. "Cut the crap, and get up quickly."

It just so happened that all of them hadn't had their lunch, so they went to the snack street together.

After finding a lakeside grilled fish restaurant with good reviews, Ye Wei picked up the menu and ticked off a few items casually. With a rough estimate, he was surprised to find out that the meal would only cost him 200 in total.

Normally, he was someone who would feel distressed even just spending 20RMB on takeaway food, but today, he actually felt that a meal costing 200 was cheap.

After all, 200RMB is only 4 silver coins...

Calm down. This can’t keep up forever.

Ye Wei took a deep breath, trying to tell himself to calm down.

Because just now, he suddenly realized that he had eaten a bowl of ramen that cost 6 silver coins a few hours ago.

That was probably the most expensive bowl he had ever eaten in his life.

Seeing their good brother taking a deep breath for a while, and giggling foolishly for a while, the three roommates looked at each other and communicated with each other silently through their eyes.

'I feel that Ah Wei is not quite right today... Maybe something happened at home.'

'Good brother, great minds think alike! I also think Brother Wei probably got himself a girlfriend! '

'It makes sense. When he came in just now, I felt that he was absent-minded. Maybe he was dumped.'

After some incongruous eye signal exchanges, the eyes of their dormitory head gradually became firmer. He looked at Ye Wei who was sitting there counting fishbones before grabbing his shoulder firmly.

Ye Wei raised his head in bewilderment. "... What are you doing?"

The head of the dormitory said with a serious face, "There is still a long way to go in life. There is no hurdle that you can't overcome, and there is no one you can't let go of. Get over it, brother. If you really want to cry, Brother Liu can lend you his shoulder."

Ye Wei almost choked, and the. Brother Liu, who was sitting across him, revealed an even more exaggerated expression. He almost spat out a mouthful of saliva.

"Get lost! If you want to lend, lend your own shoulder. You think I would sell my body for one meal!?... No way! I would only do it for 2 meals."

"You're so heartless! You two have been sleeping together for more than a year already, but you're unwilling to help our brother when he becomes like this!"

"Can you guys be a little more serious?"

"Eww, let me go puke on the side."

Ye Wei looked at his roommates in bewilderment. "What the hell?!"

The head of the dormitory said with a dry smile. "Haha, we were just a little worried because you're acting a little bit strange today."

Ye Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You guys misunderstood it. I just... I just ran into something good, and I need a little time to calm down."

Sun Qian raised his eyebrows in surprise. "What?"

Brother Liu also asked with excitement, "Yeah, tell us. What can make you look like this?”

"..." Ye Wei didn't know what to say.

What he wanted to say had been discussed many times in their dormitory before, but even if he showed them the official website, none of them believed it.

Show them the account balance? He wasn't that stupid.

"If, I mean, if... If there is really a 100% real virtual reality online game, how popular will it be?"

His roommates looked at each other.

"Brother Wei..."

"What?"

"If, I mean if..." Sun Gan said weakly, "One day you fell into a state of qi deviation... Oh no, I mean, if you reach the grand perfection stage of cultivation, can you start by killing Brother Liu and the head of the dormitory first?”

Brother Liu frowned. "What the heck! You are vicious!"

"Sigh, forget it." Knowing it would turn out like this, Ye Wei shook his head helplessly and took a sip of beer, "it's pointless to convince you guys."

After 2:00 in the afternoon, the group returned to the dormitory.

One would get sleepy when one was full, and one would lack the motivation to work when one was sleepy. So Ye Wei's roommates decided to play a few rounds of Pubg before studying, and they also invited Ye Wei as well.

Although they knew that he was probably not interested, and it was useless to invite him, whether he would play with them or not was entirely a different matter.

Standing on the balcony, Ye Wei pondered for a long while. He eventually decided to be a little conservative, and first transferred 6,000RMB to his mother.

Before he could send a WeChat message to explain clearly, his phone started to buzz. "Weiwei, why did you send me so much money? And where did you get it?"

Hearing the concerned voice on the other end of the phone, Ye Wei couldn't help feeling warm. "Mom, I recently... I found a part-time job. I paid the tuition fee for this semester with my salary. So I transferred the tuition fee you gave me back to you."

In the end, Ye Wei still felt embarrassed to say that it was the money he earned from playing games, so he could only find other excuses and plan to explain it slowly in the future.

"Part-time job? What part-time job? And why do you suddenly want to find a part-time job?"

"It's an electronic product tester... Anyway, it's to help test some new devices," Ye Wei said with a blushing face.

"Testing a new device... Isn't that being a guinea pig?" The voice on the other end of the phone was hesitant.

"Don't worry, it's safe, and it's at night... I mean it doesn't conflict with the class time, so it doesn't affect my study."

So close!

I almost spilled the beans!

Ye Wei felt that if he had said that he worked at night, his mother would have definitely misunderstood that kind of job he found.
