However, based on the information Su Ming had obtained from Shen Yi and Su Xiaoshan, most of the quests still did not give him much gold.
In the current game, after the gold coin system was officially launched, there were three types of gold coins, silver coins, and bronze coins.
The exchange ratio was one to ten.
For example, a gold coin could be exchanged for ten silver coins, and a silver coin could be exchanged for ten copper coins.
Most of the current missions only gave him a few copper coins, at most ten or twenty.
!!
Missions that rewarded silver coins were extremely rare. After all, Shen Yi and Su Xiaoshan’s levels were already at the top of the public beta players.
Under such circumstances, the missions that they could receive were only so little in rewards.
It was easy to imagine what the situation was like for the other players.
When he thought of this, Su Ming lifted his eyes slightly and looked at the auction house in front of him.
However, he was stunned when he saw what was inside.
[Congratulations, your Green and Red Armor has been sold for 800 gold coins. The auction house will take a 3% commission.]
[The final remaining 776 gold coins will be placed in your backpack.]
When he saw the notification of the auction house, Su Ming was instantly stunned on the spot. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
He was not looking at the equipment that he had just hung up. He had only been distracted for less than ten seconds, right?
In just 10 seconds, someone had already bought this equipment for him?
Su Ming scanned through the previous hints in shock, and the expression on his face became even more complicated.
There was no problem at all. The hints he had seen earlier were the truth.
Su Ming opened his backpack’s interface again. The gold coins he had in his account had indeed changed from 0 to 776.
Su Ming subconsciously took a deep breath. When he came to his senses, he immediately looked at the other piece of equipment he had just released.
The Green and Red Longsword.
The time limit for the equipment that Su Ming had put up for auction was twelve hours.
In these 12 hours, whoever offered the highest price would be the one to bid for the equipment.
Su Ming had originally thought that it would be impossible for anyone to spend such a huge sum of money to buy this equipment at the start of the game.
However, when he saw the Green and Red Armor being smacked down almost instantly, Su Ming immediately realized something.
His thoughts just now were a little too naive.
As expected, once he opened the auction house’s interface, Su Ming saw the current auction price for the Green and Red Longsword.
1500 gold coins!
The moment he saw the price, Su Ming had the urge to hit someone.
Why did he have to choose a fixed price auction just now?
According to a conservative estimate, he had lost at least 1000 gold coins on that piece of equipment.
Just as Su Ming thought of this, he saw the auction price of the Green and Red Longsword increase once again.
1700 gold coins.
After that, the price of the Green and Red Longsword continued to rise.
Although the increase was not as exaggerated as the first jump, it was still rising.
The corners of Su Ming’s lips twitched, but he suddenly felt a little glad.
Fortunately, he had only thrown in two pieces of equipment to test the waters at the beginning.
In the end, he would only lose out on that one item.
And in his bag, there was more than one piece of equipment that was better than the Green and Red Longsword.
When he thought of this, Su Ming let out a sigh of relief. He stared at the price of the Green and Red Longsword for a while longer.
Once he saw the auction price of the Green and Red Longsword break through 2000 gold coins, Su Ming decided to close the auction house.
There was no point in continuing to watch.
It was naturally better to wait until the auction was about to end before going to take a look.
And now, he planned to exchange for the gold coins he had just obtained.
In fact, after the game’s auction house and top-up system were launched, the black market system also emerged.
However, this was not an in-game system, but a function that the player had built on the foundation of the game system.
Players could shout in the world channel, or offer a price for the items they wanted to sell, or simply sell them in gold coins.
Because these items were privately traded by the players, their prices varied. The water was a little deep, and the players had to control it.
However, in terms of security, there was no problem because of the intervention of the game’s official system.
Once Su Ming opened the world channel, countless messages appeared.
[Your Grandpa: I want to buy a top-tier main-hand weapon in the early stages of the game. Price is negotiable. Come if you have strong attributes.]
[Autumn Wind West River: Anyone selling gold coins? I want to buy some. I hope the price can be lower than top-ups. I’ll buy as much as you have.]
[Anonymous: Anyone selling pets? It felt like there were very few pets in the game these days. They were basically all in the hands of the closed beta players.]
…
Su Ming scanned the world channel for a while, then clicked on Autumn Wind West River. At the same time, he chose the anonymous function for himself, then started a private chat.
[Anonymous: You accept gold coins?]
[Autumn Wind West River: Yes, I’ll take all that you have.]
Su Ming quirked his eyebrows and continued sending messages.
[Anonymous: Price?]
The current official top-up rate was one gold to ten rmb.
Even if he wanted to buy it from the black market, the price could not be too low.
Autumn Wind West River also replied very quickly.
[Autumn Wind West River: The ratio of gold to rmb is 1:7.]
The corners of Su Ming’s lips twitched. He shook his head helplessly and closed the chat window with Autumn Wind West River.
When Su Ming saw autumn winds blows West’s stance, he knew that there was a high chance that the other party was a second-hand gold coin seller.
Su Ming did not find this kind of person repulsive.
After all, they can help you save a lot of trouble.
As long as the middleman’s price was fair, it was not impossible to trade with them.
However, the price offered by Autumn Wind West River was clearly not within the scope of fairness.
The ratio of one to seven was simply too different from the official one to ten ratio.
As he thought about it, Su Ming decided to send a message to the world channel.
The world channel’s loudspeaker cost ten gold coins, which was 100 RMB for one call.
This price was a relatively high price for many ordinary players.
Therefore, other than a few rich players and professional secondhand dealers, no one said much on the world channel.
As Su Ming thought about it, he decided to just send a message.
