Chapter 1296: Exceeding Expectations

When the news reached Jiang Chen, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Chen was also confused about how the players in Huo-region created a Seagull-class within 12 hours , Jiang Chen came to see Lilith who was lying on the sofa and observing each player, and asked her about it.

Lilith quickly answered his confusion.

“The player who built the first Seagull-class starship is the chairman of an online gaming club called ‘Honor of Souls’. This club has been focusing on Future Technology games since its establishment four years ago. The club has more than a hundred employees and more than a thousand members. The club has been active since the earliest ‘New Era’ mobile game, and has grown to its current size, and even registered its own homepage and forum. ”

Jiang Chen immediately understood what had happened.

This situation was also common in other games. At the beginning of the game, everyone’s funds would be concentrated on a few core members. Then these members quickly leave “turtorial island” and secure the top positions on the leaderboard. Once they’ve established their own clan, they would go back and give resources to the players who initially contributed to them.

In online games that emphasized economy and resources, such as Galaxy Edge, the benefits of being able to own a transport ship in the early stages were undoubtedly huge.

At this moment, no player had switched their profession to pirate, and trips between cities of the Earth Federation could easily accumulate a large amount of funds and continue to expand their advantages.

Although this play style would somewhat disrupt the game’s balance, it was within the allowable range of the game rules, so the operation team did not intervened.

“In fact, I had thought it was your ship.” Jiang Chen, who had understood what was going on, looked at Lilith on the sofa and joked.

“Participating from the beginning of the game would affect the balance too much. I will go in after half a year to see. Now I am focusing on Godly Land,” Lilith, with the helmet on, said emotionlessly.

Compared to being the number one player in the game or getting some kind of achievement, she emphasized on the game itself, especially the “fun” of participating in human social activities. After all, monetary gains or personal honors were meaningless for an advanced artificial intelligence.

Simply put, her gaming attitude was more similar to casual players.

Except she was the “overpowered” kind of casual player.

…

As of the morning of June 2nd, the operation department reported the data they had obtained.

On several well-known virtual product trading platforms around the world, the exchange rate between credit points used by Galaxy Edge and Xin New Dollars was almost speculated to a price of 50: 1, and often there was no supply.

Obviously, the millionaries and major professional clubs in the world were stimulated by the miracle of the Hua-region player who built the first Seagull-class starship in 12 hours. Therefore, they invested heavily in order to create their own first 500,000-ton starship.

In terms of players, the statistics reported by the operation department were much higher than Xia Shiyu’s prediction. The average daily number of online users worldwide exceeded more than 150 million.

The insights generated by the operation team’s analytics concluded that it may be related to the recent development of space resources, which happened to be a hot global topic.

After Jiang Chen told Lilith to oversee Galaxy Edge’s progress, he quickly refocused his work on Celestial Trade.
