Chapter 85: Chapter 3: The Tycoon’s Game World (Part 3)

The world is developing quickly, many job positions no longer need people; robots, or machines can directly replace them.

Gradually, some new industries have been born.

For example, the gaming industry, this game called Eternal Fire, Li Shuning knows that in the storyline, this game becomes hugely popular, and the game company makes a lot of money.

Inside the game, countless industrial chains have been created, and those who do well in the game can earn quite a bit of money.

Initially, the game company didn’t know the game could become very popular, so some settings weren’t so strict.

For example, the recharge ratio for ingots has always been 1:1, with discounts for early-stage recharges, and large recharges come with gift packs and discounts.

In the late stage, it became a straightforward 1:1.

Li Shuning knows that the game company set up a gift pack where for a one-time recharge of over ten million, they would give a gift pack, and this gift pack is the only one in the game; even if another person recharges, there won’t be another like it.

In the storyline, this gift pack is obtained by Tang Li. It’s after Tang Li gets killed and decides to play seriously that he recharges in one go.

Li Shuning directly clicked the recharge interface at the top left of the game screen, entered her bank card info, and recharged seventy million directly.

Li Shuning isn’t treating money lightly, as this money will bring her deserved returns in the future.

Recharging 70 million now has a 9.9% discount, meaning Li Shuning actually spent 69.3 million.

After the recharge success text appeared, Li Shuning found a Brocade Bag in her hand.

She touched it and instantly knew what was inside.

[Notification] Congratulations to Luoluo for obtaining a Storage Bag.

[Notification] Congratulations to Luoluo for obtaining 10 Luck Value points.

[Notification] Congratulations to Luoluo for obtaining ten Magic Stones.

[Notification] Congratulations to Luoluo for obtaining a Clone Technique book.

[Notification] Congratulations to Luoluo for obtaining one million coins.

Though only five items, these five items are extremely precious at this time.

The Storage Bag is sewn by players during the late stage of living players or awarded during special rewards.

Li Shuning looked at the Storage Bag, which was divided into a hundred slots, quite large compared to the maximum five hundred slots in the late stage.

In the early stage, everyone wanting to store items had to go to the warehouse or hold them in hand, which is very inconvenient.

No need to mention Luck Value; when entering dungeons and fighting bosses, high Luck Value means better loot. Luck Value can’t be increased through any other means.

Using Magic Stones ensures 100% success when refining equipment.

As for Clone Technique, it’s a skill of Feather and a rare one at that. Imagine Feather, originally an offensive profession, having a clone that looks identical, equivalent to two-on-one, despite lasting only a minute and having a cooldown after use, it’s impressive.

Coins are valuable no matter the time, only dropped when defeating bosses.

Li Shuning remembers in the storyline, there was a time when the coin rate was 1:10 at its highest.

Based on the highest ratio, the reward of one million coins equals ten thousand ingots.

Li Shuning smiled slightly, placed the Brocade Bag on her neck, then a chain appeared on it, which she hung around her neck and covered it with clothes.

After accomplishing the most important task, Li Shuning directly went to the weapon shop, bought a bow with no level restrictions and several bags of arrows, went to the pharmacy to buy healing medicines, and got food from the grocery.

Preparation complete, the first task received is obtaining rabbit fur.

Li Shuning didn’t know her large recharge shocked the game’s operations department.

They set recharge discounts to encourage player spending, but at the launch stage, they weren’t expecting a high recharge amount on the first day.

Now that someone recharged such an amount, perhaps they underestimated their own game?

The operations department immediately held a meeting, deciding to open recharge discounts for the first day and close them the next day.

This decision deviates from the storyline.

Li Shuning reached the rabbit gathering spot and saw many people already there hunting rabbits.

However, the rabbits are very agile, if one’s spiritual power is weak, controlling their body poorly, coupled with no weapons, they won’t manage to kill any rabbits.

Some girls simply can’t bring themselves to kill the rabbits, which are realistically adorable.

Li Shuning holding a bow and arrow charged straight in.

Li Shuning’s movements were clean and efficient, her body control precise, and each shot was sure to hit a rabbit.

These tasks posed no difficulty for Li Shuning.

Afterward, after completing a few tasks, Li Shuning quickly reached Level 10.

Li Shuning’s skill naturally caught some people’s attention, many started inviting her to join their teams, seeking her help or trying to recruit her.

But Li Shuning rejected all, despite some people having a harsh tone, no one dared to excessively offend an expert.

Level 10 allows leaving the village, in the storyline, Li Shuning met Tang Li outside the village.

However, this time Li Shuning doesn’t want to save Tang Li.

Tang Li’s fate has nothing to do with her.

Yet, some things will cling to you even if you don’t go looking for them.

Li Shuning finds herself facing five players with a sense of helplessness.

[Shout] Boring Life: Hand over your bow and ingots.

[Shout] Qing He: Little girl, it’d be wise to spend money to avoid trouble, or we’ll kill you back to Newbie Village, you won’t leave Newbie Village.

When Li Shuning was rabbit hunting, they noticed the weapon in her hand.

They specially checked to find out that it’s possible to buy weapons with ingots. But with the game just started, who would voluntarily spend money on such low-level weapons?

Clearly, this little girl in front of them is “wealthy.”

Li Shuning is somewhat speechless; in the storyline, Tang Li also left Newbie Village, although not focused on playing, he did recharge a bit and got robbed after these people noticed. With Tang Li’s pride, naturally, he didn’t compromise, despite having decent gear, he got attacked and killed once.

In this game, except for specific villages and cities being safe zones, no fights allowed, once out of the safe zones, it’s free PK.

Getting robbed happened hours earlier than in the storyline.

Li Shuning looked at the couple of people in front of her with some disgust.

Her hand locked onto the bow.

[Notification] You were killed by Luoluo.

Within mere breaths, all these players saw the notification pop up in front of them.

Being in the newbie period, these players had little valuable equipment, such as burlap clothes that Li Shuning didn’t bother looking at, she just left.

Li Shuning didn’t know that as she left, a person lying on a branch of a distant tree witnessed her clean and efficient kill.

Li Shuning completed several tasks consecutively, killing wolves, bears, etc., and her level soon reached Level 12.

At Level 12, she can enter a small dungeon.
