Chapter 130 Making Money and Games

On the balcony of the dormitory, Li Dong slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, with a very leisurely look on his face.

This is naturally not the stimulating effect of nicotine, but has another reason.

For that reason, Li Dong actually felt good about smoking cigarettes that cost ten yuan a pack. Well, in other words, whether he was looking at other people or anything, he was in a very happy mood.

"The weather is great!"

The sky was a little dark, and a hint of thunder could be heard faintly.

Li Dong stubbed out the cigarette butt he had finished smoking, then took out his phone and took a look. The content of the text message on the screen made him involuntarily raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"3780 yuan!"

The rest of the text message is not important, the most important thing is these numbers, what a pleasant number, what an auspicious number.

As if smoking marijuana, Li Dong read the text message a few more times, then took a deep breath and turned off the screen.

After washing his hands and face, he picked up a towel and wiped his hands and face clean. Li Dong walked into the bedroom.

As usual, the five roommates quit League of Legends and were watching lol videos recorded and uploaded by other netizens on the ac barrage website.

When Li Dong came over, the five people gathered together, sweating profusely, with their upper bodies bare and supporting each other's arms. They were focused on the computer screen and didn't even notice that Li Dong was coming.

Li Dong didn't care. He sat down in his seat, controlled the mouse aimlessly, and clicked into the post bar as if he was used to it.

The number of followers of Tieba has exceeded 1.5 million. It is truly a super big bar. It is estimated that it will not take long to surpass super big bars such as World of Warcraft.

Compared with other forums, the management of the "Endless Stars" forum is indeed very good. Basically, there are no irritating posts. They are all game-related posts. Even the harmonious atmosphere among netizens is extremely rare.

A month and a half has passed, and the forces in the game have undergone earth-shaking changes. Various later forces emerge one after another and use various means to challenge the old forces in front.

However, because the resources were exhausted, Blue Star was basically divided up, and many subsequent challenges from forces were not very successful.

In "Endless Stars". There are no finished warships or weapons in the official store. All of them require players to develop step by step, and manpower and resources are indispensable.

Therefore, no matter how rich and powerful the local tycoons are later, it will be difficult for them to successfully defeat the old forces.

So under such circumstances, many newcomers turned their attention to the sea of ​​stars and frantically explored the starry sky beyond the Mars circle.

One supply space station after another has been completed on Jupiter and Saturn, and the furthest manned exploration distance has reached Neptune.

The latest top message on today’s post bar is congratulations on the successful construction of Uranus, the 17th supply space station.

In this pinned post, there are photos of Uranus, plus photos celebrating the completion of the space station. The people who posted below are envious. If it weren't for the successful construction and insufficient supply capacity, I'm afraid a large number of people would flock here to take a look at the landscape of Uranus.

Li Dong was also a little envious. The expeditionary forces formed by these later forces gave up the struggle for the spheres of influence of the Blue Star-Moon-Mars circles and looked to the universe. Isn't this a courageous attempt?

You know, even if the spaceship in "Endless Stars" is much more advanced than reality, if you want to fly to Uranus, it is the most advanced spaceship that can be built currently. In reality, it takes seven days of flying time!

Expeditions and explorations not only consume time, but also consume money and resources. Only a large number of local tycoons who entered later joined forces to support this crazy behavior.

However, such behavior is not useless. At least water resources have been found on several moons around Jupiter. If it were transformed, it might be suitable for human habitation.

It is said that there is a boss player in reality who is immediately willing to invest 150,000 yuan to buy it.

It's a pity that the expeditionary military officers ignored that bastard. No one is a fool. This satellite is really going to be transformed. Worth only 150,000?

Especially with the release of the Apple version of the game, the resources in the game become more and more precious.

The developer's malicious creation has made countless players feel disgusted - the resources in the game are not regenerated and reset, and they are all used up like oil!

This is purely to provoke fights between players!

But Li Dong is grateful for this. If it weren't for this game mechanism, he wouldn't be able to earn 3,780 yuan.

Yes, that money was earned by him in the game, and he earned more than this amount every month!

When he thought of this, Li Dong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth again. He glanced at his roommates pretending not to care, then leisurely picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip.

He shouldn't be arrogant.

Isn’t it an income of nearly 4,000 yuan? This is nothing.

Aren't some of my classmates going out to do part-time work? They distributed some flyers on Saturday and Sunday, but they made an income of 250 yuan!

This is quite a lot. Seriously, every time I go out to work part-time during the holidays, I have eight days of holidays in a month! Eight days is one thousand yuan!

Isn’t one thousand yuan enough for living expenses in college?

The only drawback is that you have to endure the scorching sun when you go out to distribute leaflets.

Li Dong didn't think so. He put down the can of coffee and touched his chin. In fact, thinking about it from another angle, going out to hand out leaflets is also exercising. It's a good thing to get some sunshine to promote the formation of vitamin A.

As for his five roommates...

The two days off on Saturday and Sunday are the best time for them to play LoL. How could they be willing to work part-time? What's more, with the monthly living allowance from their parents, why do they have to go out to work part-time?

Although I have to set aside a part of my living expenses to fund my relationship with my girlfriend, I also need to buy some game props and skins, and I also have to buy cigarettes and snacks. Life is a bit stressful, but I can still squeeze in. .

Yes, there is still a squeeze. College students still need to learn to save money, and planning the use of their funds reasonably is the last word.

Li Dong leisurely took out the cigarette case and found that there was only one cigarette in it. He walked out of the dormitory and went to the school supermarket. He was about to ask the boss for a pack of Septwolves when he suddenly asked for a pack of Tianzi.

Li Dong took out a piece of Tianzi and lit it. He took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. The smoke floated in the air and made a girl passing by frown.

Sure enough, the cigarettes costing more than fifty yuan have a really different feeling when smoked compared to the cigarettes costing ten yuan.

Li Dong put the cigarette case into his butt pocket, made a shredded pork rice bowl, and slowly returned to the dormitory. His five roommates were still watching the video while yelling.

"Hey, Li Dong, have you had lunch so early?"

It seemed that the aroma of shredded pork rice attracted the attention of a roommate, forcing him to look away.

"Well, I'm a little hungry, so I'll eat early."

Li Dong put the shredded pork rice bowl on the table and refreshed the post bar while taking a few bites.

"Oh, are you still playing this rubbish game?"

The roommate glanced at the screen inadvertently, with a trace of disdain in his eyes.

It’s just a mobile game. What’s the point of playing with your phone all day long?

He spoke condescendingly: "Li Dong, you haven't teamed up with us for a long time, right? Do you want to play together tonight?"

"Well, no need."

Li Dong bit into pieces of shredded meat and chewed slowly.

"boom!"

The dormitory door was suddenly knocked open, and a young man wearing a white shirt rushed in.

Because he was too excited, the young man's forehead was covered with sweat, and the shirt on his back was soaked with sweat, but he still didn't notice it.

"Brother Dong, Brother Dong!"

The young man came to Li Dong, grabbed his shoulders and said excitedly: "Brother Dong, the money has come, the money has really come, look..."

Taking out the mobile phone screen, the numbers 2,600 yuan on it were particularly eye-catching.

"Calm down, this little money is nothing."

Li Dong put down his chopsticks and slapped away the young man's hand on his shoulder.

"Brother Dong, if you hadn't led me, how would I have made so much money? I'll treat you tonight!"

The young man's head was a little dizzy with excitement. This was the first money he had ever made in his life. Until now, his hand holding the phone was still shaking.

"Liu An, what makes money but not money?"

The roommate stretched his head over, looking a little confused.

"Haha, Brother Wang, I just made some money by playing "Endless Stars"..."

Before the young man Liu An had time to move his phone away, his roommate Wang Mengran saw the numbers on it.

"2,600 yuan?"

"Wait, you said "Endless Stars"?"

Wang Mengran's voice suddenly increased, as if something was stuck in his throat, making him hoarse and unpleasant.

"Uh, yeah, what's wrong?"

Liu An said suspiciously.

"Ahem...nothing, just asking."

Wang Mengran swallowed some words with difficulty, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I never thought a mobile game could make money?"

"Well, it's actually nothing. If Brother Dong hadn't led me, I wouldn't have made much money."

Liu An said generously: "I invite everyone to go out for a meal tonight. Do you have time?"

"What? Give it a rub?"

The others were still watching the video, but when they heard "scratch", their ears immediately perked up and they turned their attention to Liu An.

"Hey, Liu An, do you really want to treat me?"

"of course it's true."

Seeing that Liu An didn't look like he was joking, a few people were happy. After all, they no longer had to eat the garbage from the school cafeteria if they were treated to a treat.

Li Dong shook his head helplessly, and suddenly a piece of news on the Tieba attracted his attention.

"Apocalypse Network Technology Co., Ltd. was officially established and will soon launch the PC beta version of "Endless Stars"..."

Li Dong's breathing stagnated for a moment, and he clicked the mouse to enter the post.

"It turns out that the PC version is really not just for fun..."
