87: Go ahead

This way, it would be much more convenient for players to participate in the gambling, and they wouldn't have to spend a lot of money to buy those small crystals.

Players addicted to gambling might even top up to buy more gold coins, which would also push up the value of gold coins.

And this, in turn, would motivate those who work hard to earn in-game currency to play even more desperately, bringing more active users to Dungeon & Fighter.

"Also, you should give 2,000 small crystals to every player participating in the gambling activity to make the price drop quickly."

Just last month, when Xu Lian checked the backend data, he found that many low-level accounts stored a lot of valuable in-game items.

These people were undoubtedly professional merchants who made their fortunes by selling these materials.

The recent surge in the price of small crystals in various regions was also inseparable from these merchants; the small crystals piled up in their warehouses were the best proof.

One account Xu Lian recently investigated even had nearly 10 million of these small crystals hoarded by its owner,

all acquired when prices were low, waiting for a price surge to sell them off.

When Xu Lian announced that every player would receive 2,000 small crystals for free, the merchants would naturally become alert, realizing that market rectification measures were about to begin.

To prevent the small crystals in their inventory from losing value, these merchants had to sell them as quickly as possible.

In this way, the number of small crystals circulating in the market would greatly increase, avoiding a situation of insufficient supply.

"Alright, then I'll go adjust the code related to the gambling activity now," Qin Feixu replied.

"No need to rush for now, we can talk about it after work this afternoon." Xu Lian stopped him and then looked at Yu Waner and Lin Weixin with a mix of helplessness and relief.

Qin Feixu also followed Xu Lian's gaze.

It was lunchtime, and Yu Waner and Lin Weixin were comfortably sitting on the office sofa, playing Dungeon & Fighter.

"Richard, Richard, push harder!"

"Richard!! Charge for me!"

Seeing how excited these two girls were, they must have been betting on horse racing.

"Oh my, even our own people are so obsessed, how could colorless small crystals not go up in price?"

Qin Feixu also said, both annoyed and amused.

"That's true."

Xu Lian nodded with a wry smile.

......

Due to the impact of the Knight Warhorse Guessing event, the price of colorless small crystals in various servers has risen significantly, severely disrupting the balance of material prices.

The company has decided that starting tomorrow, Knight Warhorse Guessing will be conducted using in-game gold coins, with a minimum of 500,000 gold coins required to participate.

We will compensate every player who participated in the guessing event with 2,000 colorless small crystals via mail for any inconvenience caused by this adjustment.

As soon as this message was released, many players flocked to the forums to discuss it. Most of them were people who had previously participated in betting.

"What's going on? I lost 2 million colorless crystals these past two days, and you're only giving me back 2,000?"

"Haha, brother upstairs, how can you blame the company for your own losses? A little compensation is already good."

"Wuwuwu, they finally changed the rules. These past few days, when I played Red Eye and farmed, I didn't even dare to use Dual Blades because one colorless crystal was worth 4,000 gold!"

"Switch to betting with gold coins? Wouldn't that be even more troublesome? Now buying colorless crystals is too expensive, but gold coins are relatively much cheaper."

"Using colorless crystals has already made many people lose everything. If it changes to gold coins... just thinking about it gives me a headache."

"Haha, it seems the price of gold will also rise in the future. I currently have over 10 million gold coins, I wonder how much money I can sell them for!"

"Is Xu Laoda going to rectify the market prices? No, I need to quickly deal with the remaining colorless crystals I have."

"That's right, I need to quickly cash in and make a profit, otherwise, it will go back to the era where each one was only worth 200 gold."

"I don't care if you use gold coins or colorless crystals, in short: Richard is the best in the world!"

"Well said, upstairs, but Roland disagrees!"

In all 6 servers, the colorless small crystals in each region had risen to over 3,000 gold coins.

If they didn't sell quickly, the price would surely drop later, and it would probably be difficult to make a profit then.

So, after reading the Weibo post, players immediately returned to the game and began to massively sell off the colorless small crystals in their hands.

In an instant, a large number of colorless small crystals appeared in the trading markets of various regions, and their prices were rapidly falling.

"They really changed the rules, I should also quickly sell what I have."

Lin Shufen, who had just finished her Streamer shift, immediately put all 6 million colorless crystals she owned up for sale on the market after browsing Weibo.

Fortunately, the price drop was not too fast; in her region, this item could still be sold for about 4,000 gold per piece.

At the same time, since many people had not yet noticed this change, there was still a large demand in the market, so her goods were immediately snapped up as soon as she put them out.

She instantly earned 24 billion gold coins!

"Oh my god, this game is really too profitable!"

Looking at the astonishing number in her account, Lin Shufen swallowed in surprise.

No wonder many people have been making money by hoarding raw materials recently.

After all, who wouldn't like a game where you can earn a year's income in just a few minutes?

According to the ratio in Lin Shufen's server, 1 million gold was equivalent to 5 RMB, which meant she suddenly got a huge sum of 120,000 RMB.

Just by participating in such a simple game activity, she could net 120,000 yuan. In all her years as a Streamer, she had always put money into it and never made a profit. She never expected to win enough money to buy a new car this time.

What's more, to maintain the excitement of the competition, many well-known Streamers still continued to place bets to attract viewers.

The big names active on the Douyu platform alone needed to spend nearly tens of billions of game currency every day to exchange for raw materials for gambling.

For convenience, many of them would also choose to buy and sell directly through transfers.

Therefore, the enormous wealth Lin currently held definitely had a market and was quite in demand.

Since each game character's backpack could only hold a maximum of 800 million gold, and Lin herself only had six accounts, nearly half of the gold remained unwithdrawn even after all bags were full.

She personally didn't need such a huge amount of money, so she quickly logged into the communication group to look for buyers.

"Does anyone want gold coins? I have 24 billion gold coins for sale, all from this horse racing event." She attached a screenshot as proof.

As one of the most popular Streamers currently and also serving as an administrator, this post immediately attracted the attention of many peers.

"Holy crap! 24 billion gold? Sister, how many bets did you win to get this?"
