"For now, the 4th floor is going to be used as an auction house, so pass it."
The fourth floor had nothing to fill yet. To put it bluntly, it would be a unique grade sword registered in the integrated auction house, but since there are no 3rd city entrants yet, it is meaningless to rot here.
If I found a good item later, I was thinking of putting it here and selling it at an auction.
'I get the admission fee and collect the commission.'
If the quantity of goods is not enough, it would be nice to take care of consignment sales. The fee is yours to pay for the auction.
Instead, if only the best items were received, there would be an overflow of people who would participate even if there was a separate admission fee.
So, the vendors here were built for the purpose of receiving admission fees. The process will be done by yourself.
"We're going to put branded products on the third floor, so we'll have to watch the crafting items come out."
So far, weapons that have been listed on the integrated auction house have been purchased and strengthened, and production items have also been auctioned for different periods depending on the grade.
However, the items that came out from tomorrow were not going to do that.
Products with TK's brand name are intended to be sold only here.
At first, it was planned to expand from weapons for level 100 to items with higher level restrictions as users level up.
The ability of the Dwarven blacksmith that Rokan could use right now was up to the level of producing a level 170 item, so it was thought that he would be able to withstand it.
"The 2nd floor is going to be made with premium items, so it will be enough to strengthen items and items I hunt and get."
The second floor was intended to sell premium items.
Equipment with better performance than normal items. It may not be much different from the auction house, but it was about to attract people with the fact that only strengthening items were sold here.
In addition, it would have been nice to be able to drop the spoils that were difficult to get for the price because they were ahead of others.
After reaching a certain level, there are many people who buy equipment with a high level limit in advance to use immediately.
In particular, the users who advanced to the crossroads were more likely to be attracted to those who had level 99 level 100 monsters and were confident in their skills to some extent.
Because he believes that he will be able to reach that level in no time.
"The first floor is, after all, a vending base."
The first floor was the part Rokhan looked forward to the most. This is because they plan to install a so-called 'vending machine' using a vendor.
Selling well-selling items immediately at a low price, and if there are people who want them, sell them at the same price or a little more expensive.
If you use the integrated auction house, you can definitely get more money, but considering the commission and the hassle of waiting for a day or immediately until the purchase is made, I think there are not a few people who use this place even if they lose a little bit.
It was also a proven method through many games.
The problem was that there had to be enough stuff and extra money, but that didn't really apply to Rokhan.
"Hmm, the initial sales items are mark scrolls, teleport scrolls, return scrolls, potions, safety guards, maps, and whetstones."
These items were aimed at users who were allowed to enter the city but were restricted from using the store until they were recognized as at least one race.
However, the price was outrageous. All of them are items that can be obtained in the 1st and 2nd cities such as Trinsic, but the price is doubled.
If this was enough, it would be better to use the rune book to move to the previous city, then buy it in bulk and return.
'Can I really not live?
But Rokan was adamant.
don't buy it
Every time I go hunting, I go to another city. To save money, I always keep my inventory full of consumables.
They knew what they would choose between the uncomfortable and the expensive ones, even without checking with Lokhan, an old gamer. What choices will users make in the end?
If the prediction is really wrong, you can lower the price a little or take it yourself and use it.
In a state where real money is possible, Rokhan boldly threw a number. He pondered over the detailed settings for purchased and sold items for a while and continued setting them for a long time.
Finally, after hanging a signboard and a small notice in front of the building, the access limit time approached.
[Items are also sold to visitors.]
It was a very simple notification, but to the users, it would feel like rain during a drought, no, like the water of life.
* * *
While Rokhan was busy building his shop, there was chaos outside the game.
First tertiary city revealed!
There was an uproar over the words of a man who had done a feat that no one else had done.
Ward: Shout! Lokangat!
Dart: This is the 3rd city, so it's really real
└Guinea: At least not a city that has been revealed so far. But, not too fast
└Grapefruit Soda: What's faster? There are already people who have reached level 100. Ah, then he must not be the 1st generation hahaha
└ Guinea: No, I mean Lokhan when I say I'm fast. I heard that leveling up is so fast that I'm already level 100, and when I had a fight with Blood Chaser, I wasn't even level 40. Or did you go to the 3rd city first instead of level 100?
Tax wagon: It's not Lokan God for nothing. A friend of mine heard about it because it was an MP guild, and the first time they had a fight was at level 35, but after a few days they showed up at level 50 and applied it all lol. Real crazy rep-up speed. Saying it's not nuclear, is he the president's son?
Mortal: So, how do we get here? We're not even Trinsic anyway.
└Benharpa: If it were you, would you tell me? I would suck honey by myself.
I couldn't be sure it was a tertiary city just by looking at the video and screenshots, but at least it was certain that it wasn't a city that had been revealed so far.
Moreover, as news about this video spread around the world, its credibility increased. Overseas users are also seeing cities and hunting grounds for the first time.
Mike Morhaime: God, the Koreans did it again! It's already a 3rd city
└Hati: I knew it would be like this. Koreans are really crazy. At least when it comes to games.
Richard Galliot: Hey, Rokan, I can't give you more information. Don't just tantalize me with city sketches. Give me more information about the city! Or even a hunting ground level or pattern! I'll shoot enough donations!
Aldrich: What the hell are guilds doing in our country, lagging behind the individual!
Thanks to that, Rokhan's name was properly known to the world.
The video of him fighting with Blood Chaser was also introduced overseas, but it was only regarded as a refreshing battle video, so not many people remember Rokhan's name, but this time the situation is different.
A world first! Wouldn't it be worth remembering the name for a title like this?
"Hey, how much is all this?"
In addition, the number of views of the 3rd city introduction video began to explode.
There were many people who tried to get more information by watching it over and over again, so the number of video views went up to billions, not tens of millions.
When Rokan checked, it was just when the number of views exceeded 100 million.
If he wasn't too swayed by the false information he released, he would find a way to enter the 3rd city and move to it within a few days, but he felt relieved to see that he had already achieved more views than expected.
It was clear that tens of millions of won would be plugged in from advertising revenue alone. At this point, it was not a waste to boldly reinvest the gold earned in The Road.
"Come to think of it, it must be similar abroad."
It was not possible to check the overseas situation one by one, but I didn't care much because Korean users' progress was the fastest in the world.
But looking at it now, it seemed that it was about time that they also started to achieve level 99. Thanks to this, the potential is bursting and the number of views is exploding.
"Well, some of them were really good."
Even so, it took a while for me to meet them.
Whether it's because of the fear of being divided into countries and fighting factions, or because of the language, Falcon has grouped the starting regions by country.
Later, it was revealed that the automatic translation function was applied, and it was revealed that it was not the latter, but in the current situation, users had no way to know.
"If this is enough, the next videos will be able to gain momentum."
I checked, and the number of subscribers has increased significantly. The number of subscribers, which was about 300,000, is already approaching 10 million.
There were less than 10 uploaded videos in total, but this was enough to brag about being a YouTube star anywhere.
However, Rokhan considered even that as a stepping stone. It was just a stepping stone to jump to that high place, and I didn't think about being satisfied here.
In that sense, I was about to prepare the next video as something they would be interested in.
After spreading some more false information, I woke up from a deep sleep and connected to The Road to recover my condition.
"The easiest way to attract aggro is definitely a dungeon."
There were a total of three dungeons that were very close to the Crossroads.
Two open dungeons and one secret dungeon. There would be a lot more if you moved further away or near another city, but that was the case when looking at things that were close to each other and the level was right.
And Rokhan was thinking of raiding one of those public dungeons.
"This would be nice."
What Rokan chose was the so-called 'Troll Dungeon'.
Among the hostile races, Orcs, Goblins, and Undead have met in the form of monsters, but in the case of trolls, they have high default stats, so most of them have not seen them yet.
Of course, it wouldn't be able to use its racial characteristics as cleverly as the users, but since it was a level 110-120 monster, its physical abilities were excellent, so it should be able to create pretty cool pictures.
Even so, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had already crossed the limits of his race, but it would not be for Lokan.
"Trolls are salty again."
Besides, hunting trolls made money.
It's because it's hard to hunt, because the blood and sinew you get from catching any kind of troll are among the most expensive by-products of a monster.
Moreover, in preparation for a day like this, since Lokan had raised his butchering skill from time to time, he would be able to recover some of the balance left empty by collecting additional blood and tendons in addition to drop items to fill the shop.
"Wait, I think there was an episode quest related to this."
There was something that came to mind as I searched for vague memories of passing by too long ago.
It was an episode called the 'Crazy Baron' quest. A quest that can be received from a baron who lives in a villa built in a remote place not far from Crossroads.
Standing still, recalling the flow and reward, Lokhan gave a satisfied smile. He wonders why he forgot this.
After checking the dwarf blacksmith and the shop that was blowing flies because there were no users, he immediately started moving.
