When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 658: Mutual Suspicion of Taoist Companions

Upon hearing these words, Lecturer Ding’s expression was as if he was struck by lightning.

"Do not!!"

He already felt a little empty and uncomfortable, and now he felt even worse.

I can only say that eating only coriander is indeed at a very high level. This set of silky little combos directly hit Lecturer Ding's weak spot, leaving him breathless.

This is just like the technician joke on the Internet: "If I don't do this job in my next life, I will marry you." It is really heartbreaking.

In fact, if this person who only eats coriander continues to quibble and finds many excuses to continue lying, Lecturer Ding would feel better, because that would completely shatter the last bit of fantasy in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he was quite honest and admitted everything. He didn't make any weird excuses. He just said that he couldn't resist the temptation of tens of thousands of dollars.

This makes me wonder what to say.

Even Lecturer Ding couldn't help but wonder, is it possible that she is actually a poor student? Or maybe she just graduated and can't make much money as a playmate, so it's actually quite difficult?
I can only say that although this kind of character setting has been overused, it still works well when it is really used: the gambling father, the sick mother, the school-going brother, and the broken girl.

Although Eating Cilantro didn't say these classic quotes, it successfully created such a feeling.

Not only that, eating only coriander also revealed a shocking revelation.

It turned out that she was a professional playmate hired by Zi Su from Xuanji Immortal Mansion!
Many viewers already felt that something was wrong before, because the emotional value given by eating only coriander was too great and it didn’t seem like something that a normal player would do.

Now it's clear that they are professional playmates, so how can we not give them enough emotional value?

That's their professional qualities.

If it were a real ordinary player, he wouldn't be able to create so many show effects.

"Xuanji Immortal Palace!
"I am really impressed. It turns out to be another Fate Star Pavilion. I will never forgive you!"

Lecturer Ding was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.

In his opinion, although eating only coriander deceived him and was a bit hateful, the beginning of the matter originated from the instigation of Xuanji Immortal Mansion.

Moreover, he apologized for only eating coriander, admitted his mistake, and quit the game!
What's more, when we played together before eating coriander, it really provided emotional value.

In terms of the prices for professional companionship, the cheapest ones are a few dozen yuan per hour, while the most expensive ones are one or two hundred yuan per hour. If the companion is particularly good and is a top internet celebrity in the companionship industry, the prices can even be three or four hundred yuan per hour.

If you only eat coriander, more than 100 yuan per hour should be the normal price.

Before, Lecturer Ding had played games with Zhichixiangcai for at least fifty or sixty hours. In fact, if you really calculate it, it’s not a small amount of money.

But what is truly hateful, of course, is the Xuanji Immortal Palace.

Lecturer Ding thought about it carefully and soon realized that this was simply a black industrial chain.

Xuanji Immortal Mansion directly controls the Taoist companion system in this game, but it is obvious that when players first enter the Nascent Soul stage, the Taoist companions of the entire server are very unbalanced.

There are too few cultivators who practice natural body cultivation, and even fewer female players among them.

It was difficult to find female cultivators who practiced natural body training, but these people either did not really play the game, spent too little time online and might quit the game at any time, or they quickly had the idea of ​​taking the Nine Dragon Pill and came into conflict with their original Taoist partners.

Female players who can truly provide emotional value to these top spenders are so rare in this game that they are as precious as giant pandas.

A good cook cannot cook without rice. Xuanji Immortal Mansion is just a middleman and it is impossible for it to create so many female players out of thin air.

Every sect has no shortage of business geniuses, and Zi Su from Xuanji Immortal Mansion came up with such an idea.

Maybe it was because she often came into contact with these companion players, so she contacted a group of people from various companion game platforms, entered the game "Against the Sky", and provided one-on-one service to these tycoons who spent money on the game.

Zi Su did not settle the bill based on the official price for playing with them, but rather gave them a relatively low guaranteed price, similar to a private red envelope.

So why was this deal done?

Because for these companion players, although the money given by Zi Su is not much, there are many spenders and suckers in this game, and the storage ring can also transfer property, so how much they can cheat depends on their ability.

Assuming that they can swindle one or two thousand yuan by playing for a few days, it is actually much more profitable than being a playmate.

What's more, the intensity of this work is actually not as high as that of playing games together. After all, these krypton guys are kept in the dark and will not make the same demands on them as clients would ask for playing games together.

So what is Zi Su trying to achieve by paying for such things out of his own pocket?

If she said that she did it for the purpose of introducing a Taoist partner to gain cultivation, then after the Taoist partner's relationship broke down, the cultivation she originally gained would also disappear. Wouldn't it be a waste of her own money?

At the beginning, because of this basic setting, Lecturer Ding did not have too many doubts that Xuanji Immortal Mansion might have some tricks.

But now I think about it, Zi Su is obviously ingenious and has opened up another profit model. First of all, it is impossible for all these introduced companions to cheat money, after all, not every krypton guy is as easy to trust others as the instructor.

If these companion players have not deceived anyone and simply quit the game normally, these kryptonians will not necessarily terminate the companion relationship.

Even if all the companions withdrew and the partnership was dissolved, not many people would suspect that this was a setup.

Because in similar games, quitting the game is a very normal situation.

But in this process, Zi Su and his group have already occupied a good ecological monopoly position in the entire server through initial operations.

Everyone knows that she has the highest success rate in introducing Taoist partners, and the players she introduces are also of relatively high quality. So whether it is a male or female player, they will tend to look for a Taoist partner from her.

This is the common model in modern business models, which is to first burn money to monopolize the market and then start making profits.

As long as the new players recognize her, she will always have the best resources.

What's more, if you look closely at this business model, there are actually many places to make money. For example, if these people get the money by scamming people, will they give a share to Zi Su?
Is there a whole professional team operating behind this group of people?
Just like when she only ate cilantro and made a lot of money as a local elf at the auction house, was it because she really had a good business mind, or was it because the whole team was setting a trap with her? To create a persona for her that she was a financial expert so that they could cheat people out of money better?

It is probably difficult to have a definite answer to these questions.

If Only Eat Cilantro does not quit the game and chooses to continue lying, perhaps Lecturer Ding can continue to act with her for a while and try to investigate the inside story behind it.

But I don’t know if he only ate coriander because he was afraid or because he was really guilty, so he chose to quit the game. It is difficult to further verify this matter.

Of course, Lecturer Ding is not so stupid as to think that everything he said about eating coriander is true.

But the atmosphere has become so tense, and as a host, there is only one thing he can do.

"Brothers, follow me to attack Xuanji Immortal Palace and eliminate the bad apples!"

……

The incident of lecturer Ding being cheated was naturally featured on the bad news video and became the hot topic of the entire server.

Different from previous videos of people dying by exploding, this tragic video has dealt a heavy blow to the entire companion system of "Against the Heaven's Will"!
Moreover, this attack is not limited to the server where Lecturer Ding is located.

All the kryptonians who had found a natural body training partner felt insecure and began to doubt.

A large number of them quietly moved the resources in the storage rings back to their own warehouses, leaving only some insignificant consumables and garbage.

But such behavior will obviously make the already fragile mutual trust between the two sides even worse.

Those players who practiced natural body training were naturally very angry. On the one hand, this was because such behavior was a naked suspicion and distrust of themselves, and there was absolutely no evidence for such suspicion. On the other hand, this was because such behavior actually violated the contract that both parties had initially tacitly agreed upon.

The combination of Kowloon Krypton Man and his Taoist companion who practices natural body cultivation is, if you must say, a transaction.

For kryptonians, they need the emotional value of their Taoist partners, they need to share the toxicity of their internal organs, they need precious storage rings, and at the same time, it would be even better if the natural body refining Taoist partners could manage their property and handle auction materials and other trivial matters for them;

As for players who practice natural body training, they need the combat effectiveness of Kowloon Kryptonian to ensure their gaming experience in the wilderness, and they also need storage rings and various resources.

Although they are refining their bodies naturally, these players also need to upgrade. Even if the upgrade is slower, it is impossible for them to spend their entire lives refining Qi and building the foundation.

In other words, both parties completely get what they need, and the prerequisite for becoming a Taoist couple is that the kryptonian player pays the money, and the natural body refining player pays the trivial time and emotional value.

Now, the krypton guys are not willing to spend money because they are worried about being cheated.

Then the players who practice natural body training will naturally feel that they are at a disadvantage. You don’t give me this or that, and you just take advantage of my time for free?

Then of course I won’t give you emotional value either.

The two parties were originally just netizens and had little mutual trust. They were nice to each other on weekdays, but at this critical moment, a quarrel was enough to end their relationship.

After all, now the krypton guys and natural body refining players in the whole server have roughly reached a balance, and the numbers are similar. No matter which side it is, it is not difficult to find a buyer.

If one party quits, the two can directly enter into a partner relationship. This convenient setting also provides convenience for players.

Many people wondered, isn't it only people like Zi Su who are looking for a playmate? This problem only exists on Ding's server.

Why are players from other servers joining in the fun?

In fact, this is not the case, because Zisu was just dropped. Who can be sure whether the players of Xuanji Xianfu in other servers will follow suit?
And even if there is no organization from Xuanji Immortal Palace, can't these players who practice natural body cultivation cheat people out of money of their own will?

In short, once this gap of distrust is torn, it is almost impossible to mend it.

This mutual distrust will only continue to spiral.
