CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36: IMPROVING THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM?

After Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching and Hand Rubbing Diamonds left, Fang Ka gave an order under the Soul Contract, forbidding these players from entering the Dead Volcano Territory.

He could think of digging a hole from the side, so it’s not surprising these players would think of that method too. Fang Ka had to prevent them from causing trouble.

After taking one last look at the Sea Wave Stone, Fang Ka then hurried back to the Ancient Castle.

The players were still continuously gathering materials and transporting them to the Ancient Castle.

It was evidently inappropriate for him to be away from the castle for too long.

Fang Ka rushed back to the front of the castle, and as expected, many players were already waiting there.

They were all waiting to submit their rewards.

Fang Ka took all these items one by one, then distributed the rewards to the players.

Seeing the rewards they received, the players were immediately filled with motivation again and rushed toward the distance.

They could already see Level 2 beckoning to them.

Fang Ka then sat back on the recliner, starting to enter a state of Meditation.

About two hours later, Lu Yun and the Chubby Orange Cat staggered to the front of the castle.

They carried neither ointment nor blood and came straight to Fang Ka.

Lu Yun quickly spoke up, "Mage Fang Ka, we discovered an open-air Red Iron Ore."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ka’s eyes slightly brightened, not expecting there to actually be iron ore on this island.

This was undoubtedly quite good. Once these players enhance themselves, they’ll have handy weapons to use, raising their combat power to another level.

And cool equipment would undoubtedly also boost the players’ initiative.

Letting them better experience the benefits of 007.

Fang Ka quickly snapped back to reality, sending a notification to the players.

’Level 2 team task Iron Refining has been activated, Level 2 team task Steel Refining has been activated.’

’Level 2 players can go to Mage Fang Ka to receive it.’

’Level 2 team task: Iron Refining.’

’Task requirement: Successfully refine pig iron.’

’Reward pool: 5 Gold Coins, 50 experience, 500 points.’

’Level 2 team task: Steel Refining.’

’Task requirement: Successfully refine steel.’

’Reward pool: 50 Gold Coins, 50 experience, 500 points. Note: Must complete the prerequisite Iron Refining team task before accepting.’

This reward pool’s gold coin reward seems substantial, but when averaged out among the players, it’s just in a normal state.

The Level 1 players, to quickly advance to Level 2 and join the team tasks, would definitely frantically gather blood and Magic Potion.

In this way, it would be easy enough to gather enough for all 60 players to be enhanced ten times with the Basic Enhancement Alchemy Potion.

These resources refined into Basic Enhancement Alchemy Potions left at Fang Ka’s place are of no use.

Naturally, a proper method must be devised to use them up, allowing these players to mature into stronger chives.

The things sold by Fang Ka mostly require both currency and points.

As long as the points are controlled well, there’s no fear of issues arising in the economic system created for players.

After these two team tasks are completed, he will try to control the degree, dividing the reward pool for these players.

Allowing each player to be enhanced a few times.

Then another team task for Morsun Steel and Galan Steel could be released, striving for each player to be enhanced about ten times.

Thus, the players’ overall strength would ascend another level, making their tasks more efficient.

At this moment, the players seeing these notifications couldn’t help but feel excited.

Because this reward pool was truly too enticing.

A few Level 2 players immediately set off for the Ancient Castle.

Planning to first take on the team task of Iron Refining.

Even Mr. Zhou, who was employing the Meditation Skill to explore his Magic Power, temporarily couldn’t continue meditating and hurried toward the castle.

Upon arriving at the castle, Mr. Zhou immediately saw that Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching and Hand Rubbing Diamonds were also receiving team tasks.

He quickly stepped forward to accept the Iron Refining team task, then curiously looked at the two: "You two reached Level 2 as well? So efficient?"

Hand Rubbing Diamonds politely nodded to Mr. Zhou, then slowly spoke, "We got lucky, found a hidden dungeon, and received a reward from Mage Fang Ka."

"That’s how we managed to reach Level 2 so quickly."

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching patted Hand Rubbing Diamonds on the shoulder: "Thanks to Diamonds’ extremely keen observation, we discovered that hidden dungeon."

"I also benefited from his luck."

Mr. Zhou, upon hearing this, couldn’t help asking curiously, "Hidden dungeon? What’s that?"

Hand Rubbing Diamonds explained, "It’s a Magic Array. In such a desolate and remote location, there’s a Magic Array, and finding it even grants rewards."

"I think the most logical possibility is a hidden dungeon, right?"

"I suspect the dungeon is right beneath that Magic Array."

"However, this hidden dungeon hasn’t been activated, and Mage Fang Ka forbids approaching that location."

"Probably our current power and level are too low to activate this hidden dungeon."

"Once our strength and level are up, we should be able to activate this hidden dungeon."

"I’m really looking forward to discovering what’s inside."

"This game is so detailed and realistic; the dungeon should be different from ordinary games, right?"

Mr. Zhou pondered for a moment after hearing them, then nodded, "It does seem like a hidden dungeon. Now that you mention it, I’m also very curious about what’s inside that hidden dungeon."

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching shrugged slightly: "Whatever it is, we surely can’t touch it at our current level."

"The most important thing now is to focus on this Level 2 team task."

"By the way, you saw the reward pool for this Level 2 team task, right? Do you have any thoughts?"

On hearing Grandpa Qian’s question, Mr. Zhou contemplated briefly, then replied, "Based on my many years of gaming experience, I feel the designers are improving the game’s economic system."

"We can see that both the store and the secret shop items are quite expensive."

"Yes, as of now, we can’t afford much, but with this economic adjustment, we should be able to afford it."

"But one thing to note, nearly all items in this game require both currency and points for purchase."

"The points from this Level 2 team task aren’t different from those in the Level 1 team tasks, meaning it’s very likely that points from team tasks are fixed."

"In the future, points might become very challenging to acquire, becoming a very special and extremely important form of currency."
