Chapter 606 602 Selling DLC Is More Profitable
Chapter 606 602. Selling DLC is more profitable
If you want to classify, the remote city-state of Geglan is actually only a second-tier city in Selcarlo, but because it is adjacent to an area where monsters are highly active, it is very convenient to obtain materials here, and the five-year trial is about to start, so puppeteers gather here.
Prosthetic transformation and repair shops with signs can be seen everywhere on the street. Prosthetics of various human parts are hung high on the shop, and various "surgical tools" are neatly arranged on the table, making Lu Yu think he has entered a slaughterhouse.
What surprised Lu Yu more than the puppeteer's small workshop was the type of loan here.
There are all kinds of transformation loans, repair loans, and maintenance loans. The salesman's words are quite similar to the cheap wind loan advertisements that Lu Yu had seen there before. The core idea is only one "Are you short of money? Come to me to owe it!"
Conditional choices are slightly formal loans, and unconditional installment loan usury starts. The latter is a pit that many people jump into without hesitation even if they know it is a pit.
Seeing Lu Yu stop and listen to the salesman's words, Heroula, the piggy bank, asked curiously, "Don't you have these things?"
Mera does have them, but they are not as mature as here. Lu Yu clearly realized that loans are a complete and mature chain in Selcarlo, covering almost all aspects.
If you want good materials, you have to pay more.
If you want a good puppeteer to do it, you have to pay more.
If you want a complete update and maintenance experience, you have to pay more.
As long as you embark on the road of transforming yourself, you must invest endlessly in this deep pit. Once you choose to stop investing, you may be eliminated by new processes in a short time.
There are more than 40 days before the trial begins. The eager contestants in Selcarlo and even the surrounding countries are seizing the time to strengthen themselves. For ordinary transformers, it is crucial to choose the best puppeteer with the least money. Before, Kno and Selisa were worried that they would not be able to catch the last train of transformation.
Out of curiosity, Lu Yu, Kenuo and Celisa came to a puppet workshop supported by several puppeteers. After paying the modification fee, Kenuo and Celisa successfully got their appointment number - fifteen.
While the two were taken to the physical examination by the puppeteer, Lu Yu was surprised to see the modification service list listed by the puppeteer's workshop, and at the end of the list it was written "Transformation Risk Notice: This workshop is not responsible for any modification accidents."
Seeing the line that Lu Yu pointed to, Heroura, who was chewing a piece of milk bread with both hands, reacted calmly: "Oh, you are talking about this, most puppeteers are like this, but not many of them are so honest."
Such calm words shocked San Meiqiu, especially Lu Yu. If it were him, which hospital would dare to say "In any case, the consequences of the failure of the operation shall be borne by the patient", then what would be waiting for it would only be eggs and rotten leaves and banners that took human life lightly.
"Even though body modification is a mature puppet skill, the bodies are very different after all, and the severity of rejection is also..."
Lu Yu reminded: "People's physical fitness cannot be generalized?"
"Oh, this summary is very good, I think puppeteers should like it." Heroula didn't seem to like this agreement, and said in a weird tone, "In short, just blame the rejection for everything. Anyway, puppeteers are noble, and most of the time, even if there is a problem with the modification, it's just a slight punishment of a little money."
In short, under this agreement, most people with ordinary physical fitness only dare to make minimal modifications to their bodies, and stop immediately if a slight rejection reaction occurs, while slightly stronger people can explore the most extreme modification with the help of highly skilled puppeteers.
Puppet masters and transformers, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to be beaten, and it belongs to a two-way rush.
"Wait, this puppet workshop is a chain store?" Lu Yu also realized this when he saw the column "providing modification and upgrade service city-state" on the list.
"Chain?" Heroula chewed on this unfamiliar word for a while and reacted. "It is indeed a chain store. Not only in Gegran, but also in other city-states of Selkalo. Compared with other individual puppeteers, their puppeteer level is better and the risk is lower, so they have always been well received. As long as you pay more and meet the requirements of the main puppeteer, you can also get a designated transformation, or a puppeteer cooperative transformation. It's a magical way of operation, right?"
The prosthetic transformation has been played by this group of puppeteers. They provide various functions to the transformers one by one like cutting sausages. For example, in the transformation related to the feet, the two items of increasing movement speed and increasing instantaneous explosive power are separated. If you want all of them, you can only pay more.
The good news is that according to Heroula, this service is only provided by a few puppet workshops with a chain. It has been less than a few months since it appeared. Under the premise of the existence of individual puppeteers, this method has not surprisingly been unpopular.
The bad news is that some people realize that selling DLC is more profitable than selling long-term services and selling the main body, and have begun to make basic attempts.
In the future, the puppeteers of Selcarlo will definitely explore ways to divide the functions more finely. Such means will allow the modifiers to always pursue "power" and send out their output continuously.
Lu Yu suddenly felt like going home, but it was not the kind of home he wanted...
Soon after leaving the puppet workshop, Coal Ball met a modifier who was taken away by a doctor on the street. It was said that a strong rejection reaction occurred during the transformation process. Fortunately, the puppet master was skilled and saved him.
"Which puppet master can save a strong rejection reaction?"
"Give me an address, give me an address!"
Seeing many modifiers rushing to the workshop of the puppet master who had an accident, this scene made Coal Ball feel that he was incompatible with Selkalo.
"During the beginning of the trial, the contestants are often not so rational. In order to make a splash, many people will force dangerous transformations in order to gain more advantages. Therefore, during the preparation period of the trial, transformation accidents can send away many gamblers with poor physical fitness." Heroura curled her lips, "Get used to it, you will see more in the future."
"Should I say that the puppet master saved them and did his best?" Lu Yu laughed dryly.
Heroula said: "After all, puppeteers don't want to be killed. Although in the eyes of many puppeteers, the transformers are just accumulating experience for themselves and providing materials for money, their life and death don't matter at all, but puppeteers also care about their reputation."
"The title and experience of a puppeteer without any life-threatening accidents can be used as a stepping stone for the Selkalo Puppet Master Association and the secret meeting. There were as many as ten of the Supreme Puppet Masters who had this "record."
"And it's not easy to cultivate a fat sheep that keeps giving money and materials to you and begging you for money. Puppet masters who rely on regular customers definitely don't want to lose customers."
Everyone is busy transforming and preparing for the battle. There are only a few people who are strolling around like Lu Yu and Heroula.
Meiqiu found that Heroula always stared at the food at the roadside stalls with a look of desire, but her hands were tightly clenched, subconsciously against the edge of the pocket at her waist.
A snack costs only a few puppet copper coins. As an elite mercenary, Heroula can undoubtedly afford it, but she would rather watch and drool...
"Eat it."
Meiqiu took the initiative to pay for a roasted scorpion. Heroula just shyly twisted her body and ate happily.
"I know why your Kno and Celisa call you a piggy bank."
Heroula corrected: "Among adventurers, many people call you that."
She seemed to regard this title as a compliment.
"Can I ask you why you save money in this piggy bank?"
"A scorpion can't buy this secret. Thank you for treating me. I am eating well again!"
"You said everything has a price. How much does this secret cost?"
Heroa was stunned for a moment. It seemed that she didn't expect Lu Yu to ask this. She subconsciously waved her hand: "What's so good about this."
"A bottle of the recovery potion I gave you that night."
"..."
"Two bottles."
"..."
"Forget it, ten bottles."
This way of raising the price made Heroa's eyes widen: "Are you crazy?"
"The things you think are very valuable are worthless to me. I thought you can understand this." Lulu's proud words were conveyed through Lu Yu's mouth.
Heroula hesitated for a while: "Can this offer be kept for a while? I want to change it when I want to?"
"Okay."
"Actually... it's not a secret worth your expectation."
"It doesn't matter. Those potions are also garbage to me. They can satisfy my curiosity and at least play the role of satisfying emotional value."
Heroula was once again shocked by the high confidence revealed in Lu Yu's arrogant speech. She couldn't understand this foreign potion master who suddenly appeared in Selcarlo.
Knowing that Heroula likes to eat, Meiqiu specially found a tavern and ordered all the dishes before continuing the topic.
"Tell me about the trial. I know nothing about its detailed rules and trial items."
"The Selcarlo Trial is divided into regional and capital competitions. The winners of the regional competition will go to the capital for the second round of competitions to compete for a place in the Puppet City. As for the rules and trial items, you will only know them when the competition starts. The trial theme is not fixed."
"In the past six sessions, there have been 'Back to Back' that emphasizes cooperation, 'Brave Warrior' that emphasizes personal strength, 'Wise Man' that emphasizes puzzle solving, and 'Frenzy Battle' that emphasizes fighting."
"Under the big trial theme, the trial items are always thousands of different. There are all kinds of weird things. For example, in the theme of the brave warrior, the challenger was required to enter a large area full of mechanisms and puppets, and then successfully exit the trial area after defeating the designated wandering puppets. There were also trials that required the puppets to be protected while passing through the trial area, and the puppets would fail if they were damaged. "
"The trial theme is drawn up by the supreme puppeteers, and no one can know it in advance. Therefore, many people have always bet on "transformation", hoping that the trial project of the current session can hit the focus of their own transformation, and the last session did produce a partial subject king who was able to enter the puppet city." He Luola said with a little envy.
Why does Lu Yu sound like... betting on the topic?
If nothing else, being able to bet on it and persist to the end is also a skill.
"The only thing worth mentioning is back-to-back. The trial project under this theme is the only one that requires teamwork so far. The content of the last trial was the simplest and crudest doubles battle of "two people team up to defeat the other two people."
"Besides that, it should be a rumor that the theme of the first trial, 'The Road of Blood', was selected but rejected by the Supreme Puppet Master. No one knows the specific content of the trial, but from the name, I don't think it will be a wonderful trial. Therefore, this year, the theme of the trial may also be a new theme other than the ones that have already appeared."
There will be more today, so eat this 3K first
