Chapter 1330 Show People in the Game

After the camera cut, Ding Xiyao has come to the entrance hall of this house.

Before asking customers to see the house, the player as an intermediary can first inspect the house and know what to do.

At the beginning of the game, there is no time limit to inspect the house, and there will be some hints in the game, so that players who lack knowledge in this area can understand the advantages and disadvantages of this type of apartment.

With the continuous progress of the game, there will be a time limit for the inspection of the house at this stage, and there will be fewer prompts, which is equivalent to increasing the difficulty for the player.

Even players can choose to challenge themselves, not to do this link at all, and to receive customers the first time they come to the house, without prior preparation, all rely on on-the-spot performance.

The higher the difficulty, the bigger the reward.

Ding Xiyao once worked as a real estate agent, and her professional knowledge in this area is much richer than that of ordinary players, but the content of this game is still relatively unfamiliar to her, so she decided to follow the standard procedure first.

If you can quickly adapt to the gameplay of the game, you can try to increase the difficulty.

According to the most basic movement method that has been contacted before, Ding Xiyao turned around each room.

All I can say is that it was even worse than I imagined.

There were floor plans and photos of these room types on the computer in the store before, but it was only when I actually arrived at the scene that I found out that the photos were often "photo-frauding", and I couldn't believe it at all.

It was obviously noon when the photo was taken, and the sun was shining brightly. The whole room was bathed in warm sunlight. As long as you adjust the light a little and find the right angle, the photos taken are very confusing.

But now it happens to be a cloudy day outside, and the light is not so strong, so the look and feel of the whole room has dropped several grades at once.

In addition, many details are naturally exposed.

For example, there are some traces of nails and double-sided tape on the walls, most of which are left by the previous tenant; the stove and cabinets in the kitchen are full of old oil stains; the window of a second bedroom does not seem to be closed tightly. There's bound to be a leak, and so on.

Details that are not shown in these photos will be exposed during the on-site viewing process.

However, whether customers can see these problems specifically varies from person to person.

After Ding Xiyao raises her hand and points to some areas with the handle, there is a certain probability that an icon that can be prompted will appear. At this time, the number of prompts can be consumed to obtain official prompts.

For example, in the kitchen, some tenants who are keen to use the kitchen to cook and have high requirements on sanitary conditions will have a greater opinion on these old oil stains, while the tenants who do not use the kitchen at all may not come in carefully. Look.

But this function is not a panacea. Just like many detective games or escape room games in which clues are found, if the player does not realize that there may be a problem here and does not use the controller to point to the key area, there will be no prompts. .

Of course, some extreme players can use the controller to point out all the rooms, if not too tired.

After being aware of these problems, in order to better facilitate transactions, intermediaries can choose to solve these problems, or they can choose to ignore them.

The solution is to pay out of your own pocket, take part of the money from your own funds, and please clean or repair the furniture to fundamentally improve the problem.

If you choose to ignore it, it may be dismantled on the spot by the tenants who come to see the house, resulting in the failure of the transaction and the possibility of not being discovered.

Of course, there are remedies for being dismantled on the spot. You can try to cheat, or you can solve it by reducing the rent.

In this regard, the protagonist in the game has much more authority than the intermediary in reality.

After all, in the setting, the protagonist's identity is not a worker, but a dual identity of both a boss and an employee, responsible for their own profits and losses.

Ding Xiyao quickly looked at the house inside and out, and found several key issues.

After all, this is her old line of work, and she is completely familiar with the road, and she does not need too many system prompts.

She even had some whimsy.

Ding Xiyao first turned on all the lights in the room, and then roughly felt the brightness in the room.

Then, she raised her head and pointed the handle to the light bulb in the living room.

Sure enough, the light bulb became highlighted, and an interface popped up, which means that the light bulb can be replaced!

After a simple selection, Ding Xiyao chose a relatively inexpensive but very bright ceiling lamp, which was easily replaced after selection.

In fact, not only the lights, but all the furniture and appliances in the room can be replaced. The problem is that sofas, TV sets, and wallpapers are all too expensive. Ding Xiyao doesn't have much money to replace them now.

This is a small routine that Ding Xiyao learned when he was an intermediary before: if the room itself is not well lit, the lighting is insufficient, or the ventilation is poor and there is an odor, then the customer should turn on all the lights and open the windows in advance before coming to the room. Scattered.

In this way, the tenant will ignore the problem of lighting and poor ventilation to a certain extent, and even if it is found, it will be after the signing of the contract.

At that time, even if most of the tenants are a little dissatisfied, the contract has been signed and there is nothing they can do. They can only live there.

Ding Xiyao is not sure whether the game is so smart, and whether increasing the lighting will increase the probability of customers closing, but it is worth a try.

After all, this kind of business simulation game with a high degree of freedom, isn't it just about the operation and freedom?

Specifically in this house, since the original lights were rather dim, there was no substantial improvement even if they were turned on, so Ding Xiyao replaced the lights in the living room at her own expense, raising the brightness to the highest possible level.

There is no good way to solve the problem of the kitchen, and it is impossible to ask for cleaning, but there is also a "do it yourself" option in the game.

Holding the handle and gesturing on the oily place is equivalent to wiping it with your own hands. Although some old and stubborn stains are difficult to completely remove, it looks much better than the beginning.

Of course, not all problems can be solved by yourself, and some problems will have to spend a lot of money to improve.

In this way, Ding Xiyao simply dealt with all the places in the room that could be handled within the scope of funds, and tried to understand some defects in the room.

Then, you can ask the tenant to come and see the room.

Although it is already an old fritter, Ding Xiyao was still a little nervous while waiting for the tenant to come.

After all, it was the first time for her to show someone a house in the game.

Not long after, the doorbell rang, and the first person to come was the working-class buddy who had worked for several years and had a relatively high income.

The order of the three groups of people was arranged by Ding Xiyao independently. The reason why this buddy came first was mainly because Ding Xiyao felt that he had the most hope of negotiating the highest price with him.

The other two groups were a couple who had just graduated and two girls who had just worked for more than a year. The economic conditions were not very good.

Moreover, young couples pay more attention to the problem of cooking, and it is precisely the kitchen hygiene problem in this house that is not very good.

All things considered, this guy who has worked for several years and is a working class has the best economic conditions and does not have high requirements for the kitchen, so he is most likely to reach a deal at a high price.

Of course, it is precisely because this buddy has worked for several years, so his ability to pick faults may not be weak, and he is not good at fooling around. This depends on Ding Xiyao's ability.

Using the VR handle to open the door, Ding Xiyao couldn't help but be stunned.

This dude...so real!

Because this is the first time Ding Xiyao has seen people in this game.

Although the Doubt VR glasses are the same as all VR glasses, due to technical reasons, it is still difficult to achieve the clarity of the fake and the real, and there is even a slight grid effect, but in different games, the clarity of scenes and characters is still obvious. difference.

"Real Estate Agent Simulator" has obviously achieved a very extreme level of clarity of character modeling within the range allowed by the technical level.

After entering the viewing mode, the player will follow the tenant who is viewing the room by default and answer his questions.

The tenant, that is, the NPC in the game, has a certain pattern of actions, and has a relatively fixed route when going to different rooms.

But which room to look at first, which room to look at later, what is the focus of attention in the room, what kind of questions will be asked, and how will the player's answer be responded to... These all depend on the character's settings, showing a strong randomness.

In this process, of course, the player does not need to actually speak, but uses the controller to select the options on the screen to introduce and answer.

The basic situation of the house is briefly introduced first, and then the customer will ask some questions about the details.

The gameplay at this stage is somewhat similar to a text adventure game.

The dialogue options that the player can choose depends on the previous observation in the room, the preparations made in advance, as well as the player's level, experience and other comprehensive factors.

At the same time, many subsequent dialogues can only be triggered after the corresponding options have been selected in the previous dialogue.

What surprised Ding Xiyao was that this NPC's every move was quite real, his actions were natural, and his speech was very fluent and very colloquial.

The voice of the conversation between the NPC and the player is obviously recorded in advance, because the automatically synthesized voice will inevitably have the feeling of rigid splicing, which can be heard at once.

The NPC in the game does not give people this feeling.

Ding Xiyao was a little curious, is this game dubbing and motion capture for all NPC voices? It's too luxurious, isn't it?

Will there be repetitions in the future? For example, back and forth is the same problem?

She was thinking about it when she heard the working-class buddy ask, "This room looks pretty well-lit, doesn't it?"

It's not a direct question, it sounds more like a casual question.

There were three options in front of Ding Xiyao, three different attitudes.

The first is a positive attitude, without brains boasting; the second is a neutral attitude, which is relatively vague, but will not deny it; the third is to tell the truth.

Ding Xiyao couldn't help but hesitate.

Obviously, the first attitude is more helpful in closing the deal, but this dude will definitely find problems after moving in.

With the third attitude, the conscience is solid, but the customer is likely to be lost. In order to restore it, most of them have to reduce the rent.

Ding Xiyao had a hard time deciding, but seeing that the progress bar of the conversation was coming to an end, she had no choice but to choose the second attitude.
