The early development of the game was crucial. Not many players would delay the early development in order to earn more Alliance dollars. Moreover, if they were competing in efficiency, it was better to fight wild elves. If they were lucky, they might encounter rare elves.
The Trading Market could be described as a sea of people. Aside from the players setting up stalls and various Elf Shops, there were also a large number of players and NPCs wandering around. These NPCs had high intelligence. If they saw an elf or item that they liked, they would also seek a deal.
Walking slowly in the market, Duan Chen looked around and carefully observed the approximate price of the sprites and items in the market.
There were quite a number of Elf Egg Shops, and they were filled with exquisite Elf Eggs. The prices of these Elf Eggs were the same, and one could buy one for only 1,000 Alliance Coins. However, the Elves that hatched were basically low-grade Elves, and they were also jokingly called " smashed eggs " by players. Knowledge was important, but luck was even more important if one wanted to find an elf egg that could hatch a high-quality elf.
Not long after, Duan Chen went to the market administrator to apply for a stall. The stall fee was ten Alliance dollars per hour, and the system would automatically deduct it from the player's account.
Duan Chen had arrived relatively late, so the good stalls had already been occupied. A small portion of these good stalls belonged to merchant players. Buying low and selling high was their job, and they used it to profit.
Although Duan Chen's stall wasn't good, it was better than a corner. It was on a secondary road with less traffic.
In the game, trading sprites was always the mainstream. Players could trade sprites that they did not need.
The sprites that had been nurtured for a long time might develop feelings for the players. Even if they were useless, the players might not be willing to part with them. However, if it was an elf that had not been used much since it was captured, it would not be reluctant to part with it. Instead of letting it waste its food every day, it was better to trade it to a trainer who needed it. Perhaps it could be put in an important position, which might not be a bad thing for the elves.
Sitting at the stall, Duan Chen released Lada and the green caterpillar, placing a sky-high price of 20,000 Alliance dollars for each. Then, he teased Ivan to wait patiently.
Before the currency exchange system was activated, 20,000 Alliance dollars was indeed a sky-high price for normal players.
Due to the poor location of the stall, no players came to see it at first. However, when a female player who was strolling around saw the elves that Duan Chen was looking for, she could not help but exclaim," Wow, there are two middle-grade elves!"”
The reason why he was so surprised was that most players would use high-quality sprites for their own use if they subdued them. In the early stages of the game, very few people would sell high-quality sprites.
The so-called high-quality sprites, to be precise, were sprites with middle-grade aptitude and above. Their individual values were in the range of 100-186.
Due to her surprise, the female player's voice was not soft. Many players and NPCs around could hear her. The players immediately rushed to Duan Chen's stall. As for the NPCs, they seemed to be taking their time. Perhaps they were still cursing the players for being so " enthusiastic."
It was no wonder that the players were so enthusiastic. One had to know that other than the initial elves, most of the other battle elves were low-grade. At most, they would choose the taller ones from the shorter ones and use some elves whose individual values were as close to the middle-grade as possible, or some other elves.
It was not uncommon to see these unusual elves. They often had one or two individual values that were very high, but other individual values were relatively low.
"Hiss, 20,000 yuan, so expensive!"
"Friend, there are many things in the market that are more expensive than this. Do you know how low the probability of a middle-grade sprite appearing among wild sprites is? It's less than one in a hundred. An ordinary sprite ball costs 200 Alliance dollars each. If you calculate the cost yourself, 20,000 Alliance dollars is really a sky-high price.”
Duan Chen's tone was exaggerated, and he acted like he was selling at a loss. He had the qualities of a profiteer.
"But the problem is that this game hasn't opened the transaction between real money and game money yet. It's very difficult to take out so many alliance dollars. Can we use real money to trade? I can use the black market price!" At this moment, another player who was obviously tempted could not help but suggest that they buy sprites through real-life transfer.
"Forget about real money. How about this? You can use the items you don't need to pay for it!”
Duan Chen shook his head and rejected the player's request to use real money. For professional players, the early stages of the game were too important. They should try not to slow down the progress of the game. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to the later stages.
One could not only look at the immediate benefits, but also the future.
From the market point of view, the supply of high-quality sprites in the early stages of the game was in short supply, and the price was much higher than the actual value. As for props, although they had various uses, some of them had certain limitations. For example, only Pikachu could use the Electric Pearl, and the Mysterious Water Droplet could only increase the power of water skills. As for the leftovers, learning devices, protective gold coins, and other general tools, the players would basically keep them for their own use.
The player seemed hesitant, but it was different for the other players. Although items and high-quality sprites were quite rare, it was clear at a glance which one was better than the one that was currently useless.
"Do you think this item can be exchanged for your green caterpillar?”A player endured the pain and passed the effect of his only item to Duan Chen.
[Competition Vest: Agility halved, training effect doubled!]
Duan Chen only took a glance and was extremely envious. He was sure that this player was definitely a newbie. Otherwise, how could he not see the value of the competitive vest?
The effect of the competitive vest might not be obvious in the short term. After all, the training effect was far less than the ability improvement brought by leveling up. However, it would be different if it was long-term. The increase in ability was considerable, and it could even be used until the end of the game.
The players in front of him only focused on immediate benefits and ignored long-term plans. This was Duan Chen's evaluation of him.
Perhaps in this player's opinion, there would be opportunities to obtain items like the competition vest in the future, so it was better to exchange them for immediate benefits.
However, this was obviously taken for granted. Items themselves were not easy to obtain. They required specific opportunities or important missions to have a chance of obtaining them. And an important item like the competition vest, which had a bright future, was undoubtedly more difficult to obtain. It was likely that there would be a limit to the number of items.
Duan Chen had the urge to laugh at the thought of trading a limited edition competitive vest for a middle-grade elf. However, he was not slow. He immediately used the green caterpillar to trade with the player.
"I got the green caterpillar!"
After the transaction was completed, this player was unusually excited. He first did the signature move of a scumbag and then impatiently released the green caterpillar, which made the other players even more envious.
However, the problem was that props were difficult to obtain. Currently, only a very small number of players were lucky enough to have props.
"Stall owner, can you see if this can be exchanged for your little Lada?”
At this moment, the players who wanted to buy it with real money finally made their decision and sent the attributes of an item to Duan Chen.
