Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

But as long as we start to have overseas territories to divert players, we will be able to quickly divide the ecology of players at different stages.

However, at any stage of the game, no matter how strong the player is, the main city island will still be extremely useful.

Because this is the home of a well-organized family, a foundational base. Well-equipped workshops, a safe environment, incredibly active trading houses, worry-free warehouses... and players of all professions.

"Luckily, I've found my way to the great Eel God and now have my own territory to live in." Looking down from above, the little deer clearly witnessed the terrifying flow of people. "Otherwise, I would have been crushed to death by now..."

"Being lively is also a good thing."

As the players watched in astonishment, the Ice Prison Dragon flew over the coast, over the safe zone, and arrived above the main city.

In the lord's mansion, the only place that was relatively quiet and spacious, the Ice Prison Dragon landed in the garden.

Yu Man and the little deer landed on the ground. After agreeing with the little guy on how to meet again, it flapped its wings again and disappeared in an instant.

The novices were agitated by the exaggerated sight, while the old ones proudly mentioned the name "eel", which was the legendary treasure of Shimla Bakken.

Yu Man was already prepared for the excitement of the players.

One of the reflections of the old world she had previously summoned had the ability to obscure its form. Unless it was a higher-level being... or possessed some special ability to see through illusions, it would be undetectable.

Yu Man originally intended to use this ability as a sneaky attacker in battle, but it apparently has many uses.

"Come here, fawn, get into its shadow—"

"What the hell is this..."

"It's not a ghost, it's a reflection of the old world, my secondary occupation..."

As they introduced themselves, the two of them squeezed under the black jellyfish-like ghost and quietly left the lord's mansion. Their first stop was the warehouse area... but they would pass by her land on the way, so it would be nice to see what the workshops looked like now.

The familiar streets of Shimla Bakken, the unfamiliar large crowds...it's like a New Year's parade.

Obviously - the workshop area is even worse.

Thousands of players flocked here, renting various artisan tables and workshops to craft what they needed... or to upgrade their adventurer class. From raw material processing to finished products, a complete and rich production chain had been formed.

"No wonder everyone has level 5 equipment..."

"Well, Ya Ge and Teng Ge have led 'Xian Kan' to create several dungeon teams. Combined with the general leveling up of the gathering players and my sponsorship, the workshops have all been upgraded to Tier 5. With the materials and top-tier craftsmen, the main city can now produce Tier 6 equipment."

Alas, the players' progress has finally caught up a little, and Yu Man nodded with relief.

She also noticed that the Enchanting Tower was the most popular, with a huge number of players gathering there, hoping to gamble their possessions for a good payout.

There is even a lot of metaphysics and communication, a bit like the lottery stations that can be found everywhere, where there are always some uncles gathering together to talk and discuss.

Among the countless numb or sad faces, there are occasionally some faces full of joy.

No matter how the game changes or how the world is reset, this scene remains the same.

The only difference was that she felt a little apologetic, after all, she was the one who opened the gambling table.

……

(I'm not in a good mood today, so I can only post one more update to make up for it.

I received a lot of blades, and I still have 9 days left to write. I'm under a lot of pressure.

147 Business Planning

Yu Man is very satisfied with the prosperity of his own industry.

She no longer needed to count her daily income, because in the old world, her accumulated wealth had become figures on paper, far exceeding the mundane concepts of spending money to make money, and reaching a higher dimension.

Yu Man was not at all surprised by this.

I chose this Ice Staff on the first day of the server launch and killed the regional leader of Shimlabakken as planned.

Then, open the rainbow treasure chest to complete the bloody primitive accumulation...

Everything, financially—it was working just as she had planned.

"Come on, little deer, to the warehouse."

After saying that, Yu Man looked at her deeply, his eyes full of deep meaning.

In this world, the only person who exceeded my expectations... was the woman beside me.

……

The warehouse area is also prosperous, with a large number of players and warehouses.

There are also players who directly sell enchanted backpacks nearby, and their business is surprisingly good.

If it weren't for the system's support, this area in the warehouse area would be too small and would be quite insufficient.

Of course, only a few people could directly rent a warehouse. Therefore, their warehouse in the far corner was one of the few secluded places in the entire Shimla Bakken.

The little deer led the way and opened the door with ease.

"...Wow, so many again." In order to take over the island and build it, Yu Man had taken away a large number of things before.

But obviously, during this period, Xiaolu was still working hard on the copy, and all his gains were still stored in it.

"Do you have any seventh-tier materials?" Yu Man asked. "I previously used 'Go to Death' in vain, so I'm running low on seventh-tier materials."

"Well, a little more."

Yu Man suddenly thought: "No, has your soul weapon reached level seven?"

"It's upgraded, don't worry. I wanted to keep it to make seventh-level equipment, but it's harder than I thought."

According to Xiaolu, the "Xiankan" guild has several master craftsmen who have been promoted to level five. They were all core members who were recruited when Yu Man was still there and knew each other well.

As long as there are enough materials, sixth-level equipment can be mass-produced.

This is a guild benefit, which is achieved little by little by relying on the workshop with no handling fees, sponsorship from Xiaolu, and materials accumulated by the guild group through dungeon play.

But even with such favorable conditions, these craftsmen are still a long way from reaching the sixth level.

They didn't even know what the conditions for upgrading were and were still confused.

Yu Man knew it - but it was not a good idea to say it out loud, as it would be like a spoiler and would stifle the exploration desire and gaming experience of these great craftsmen.

Before the overseas territory system matures, it is still very difficult for players to obtain seventh-level equipment.

Even in the middle and late stages, the equipment of this class is still very valuable and is not considered consumable.

Therefore, when a player is stuck at this level, it actually means that the sweetness of the novice period has completely ended...

"Eel, what should we take with us?"

"First, take all the dungeon tickets and treasure maps... You won't need the gold coins. Take all the equipment with you, and leave the materials here."

"Stay here?"

"Well, since the Shimla Bakken workshop is fully equipped, it's better to say that all the materials obtained in the future will be shipped back."

Xiaolu quickly understood the logical system here. The safe and stable main city was the rear area, while overseas was the front line.

Only the necessary parts will be brought to the construction front, and the profits will of course be brought back.

Whether it is processing or selling, it is only suitable to be carried out in the main city.

Among the deer’s gains, there are some level six equipment.

A lot of Yu Man's equipment had exploded before. Even after various replenishments, there was still an empty slot for head equipment, which could be filled now.

She took it and put it on as a matter of course, and the little deer looked at her happily as a matter of course.

"Alright... I've mixed levels 6 and 7. If I apply the "Death" enchantment to all of them, I'll be able to fight at level 9... and I'll be able to brave any Ice Dragon-level battles head-on."

Thanks to the hard work of Xiaolu in the rear, Yu Man finally made up for all his previous losses.

But not only that—

"Don't yell, I'm already at this level. If anything happens again, I'll take the initiative and won't wait around in the main city for a few rounds."

The teammates beside me said very trustworthy things, and even did not hesitate to use swear words to describe their feelings.

It’s a pity that if the big brother who was talking was not the beautiful sixteen-year-old girl who was raising himself and the cat senior... it would be better.

After counting all the things and filling two backpacks and a box, they left the warehouse area.

But the next step is not to go back—

"Speaking of which, Eel, do the players need to be a little richer?" The deer asked this question casually out of the blue.

The words were like arrows, nailing Yu Man's feet.

If someone else were to come - even Senior Cat - they probably wouldn't understand what the deer is asking.

"…Did you find out?"

"Huh? You didn't keep it a secret from me, and prices haven't gone up. Isn't that obvious? I check the exchange every day."

It is true.

Logically speaking, as players' abilities improve, a large amount of PVE content will generate revenue every day.

A large amount of resources were collected and harvested, and the material resources of Shimlabakken were rapidly enriched.

This is even more true for gold coins, which should have accumulated over time and become easier to obtain, but instead began to become widespread and depreciate.

But what is suspicious is that prices have not changed much.

"It's not just me. Yago is actually aware of this and has talked to me about it. We all know because you are the one who is reaping the benefits."

What the deer said is not wrong...

After all, Yu Man is a second-round player and is very familiar with its economic operations.

The ultimate goal of the player is to become stronger.

Therefore, gold coins, materials and resources are produced through PVE.

In order to sell, purchase, store... taxes will continue to be consumed in trading houses and warehouses, allowing the system to recover part of the wealth.

According to this, players should gradually become richer, and the value of gold coins should also depreciate in this slow process.

But Yu Man curbed this process.

However, she relied on her own strength and bloody primitive accumulation to set up a complete workshop in the main city in advance.

The handling fee is set just right, and the usage fees are collected continuously.

Players shouldn't have such a complete workshop at this stage.

But the driving force to become stronger always drives players.

In order to improve their professional class by making products and then sell the products, they will repeatedly pay fees in the trading house.

Profits – are therefore cut many times over.

A large amount of gold coins flowed into Yu Man's hands and were sealed in the warehouse, suppressing the increase in the total amount of wealth.

The remaining income and a little profit are what flow into the hands of the players.

But here - there are two ultimate downstreams.

One is the one thousand gold coins needed to build the guild.

Obviously, there are many players with great ambitions, ready to build large guilds to dominate the world. Small groups also need a guild to serve as a home.

The second one is even more sinister - the Enchantment Tower Gambling System.

The combination of these two, plus the total drop loss in PVP, harvests all the players' profits.

Therefore, the economic situation in Shimlabaken was simply manipulated according to Yu Man's wishes.

If she hadn't been making large purchases at the trading house, allowing gold coins to return to the market and flow into the hands of players, the entire island's market would even be in deflation...

"Don't think of me as a bad guy manipulating the market. This is a win-win situation."

Yu Man explained so that Xiaolu's gaze wouldn't misunderstand her.

All Yu Man can control is the small market on the island of Shimlabakken.

If players work hard, they can earn more gold coins, buy more cheap materials, and level up quickly.
