Chapter 2079 Top-Tier Strategy! Rising Star Development Plan



Chapter 2079 Top-Tier Strategy! Rising Star Development Plan

At this moment, the live stream chat was also filled with heated debate about how much the necklace was worth.

Judging from its attributes alone, this necklace is already maxed out, with absolutely no room for improvement.

There are probably very few players in the entire game who can afford a level 150 non-exclusive necklace with maxed-out spiritual power like this.

So the moment this necklace was exposed.

In the live stream, someone even directly offered a million-dollar bid.

However, most people know that while this necklace is impressive, it's definitely not worth millions.

the reason is simple.

The necklace is actually a rather special part.

The most valuable stat for top-tier non-exclusive items is not high spirit level, but special skills.

For a magic-based character who pursues the ultimate spiritual power...

The phrase 'non-dedicated' already implies that the upper limit is locked, and there is no way to go any further.

Therefore, many magic-based classes tend to pursue specialized necklaces, which is similar to physical classes that pursue weapons with maximum damage.

On the contrary, it's physical and support.

Compared to high-level spiritual beings, they actually pursue top-notch special skills more.

Of course.

If it could also have high spirit power on top of its excellent special skills, that would be even better.

After all, who doesn't know this these days when they've played in competitions?

Like physical damage, spiritual power isn't something only magic or physical classes need to stack.

Because of the effects of spell area damage and the power of splitting the mountain.

Many support/control classes are now focusing on stacking physical damage to avoid being instantly killed by a powerful attack.

The same applies to spiritual power.

Especially for those who specialize in sealing abilities, having a necklace with high spiritual power and special skills would be invaluable.

Their survivability in group battles will be greatly improved, and it is even possible that they could directly determine the outcome of a battle!

So you can see that from here.

A truly valuable non-exclusive necklace must meet two conditions simultaneously: firstly, it must possess sufficient spiritual power, and secondly, it must have a strong special skill!

However, the Night Emperor's necklace only meets one condition.

A necklace with 150 full spirit is certainly powerful, but for a top-tier mage in PvP...

If given a choice, they would definitely prefer to farm for more extreme, specialized necklaces.

As for the Night Emperor right now.

It's definitely worth buying, but if the price exceeds your expectations.

I'm afraid many bosses will still choose to give up.

that's it.

The chat was buzzing non-stop, while Meditation remained silent the entire time, diligently carrying out its backstage task of coordinating the bidding.

ten minutes later.

The message box for meditation, which was running on the pineapple computer, started flashing again.

The crowd around him raised an eyebrow and urged him to open it quickly.

Urged on by everyone, Pineapple immediately opened the meditation chat window and saw the final offer sent by the other party.

"38 valid bids, final transaction price... 38."

Read aloud the final transaction price sent by meditation, word by word.

At this moment, Pineapple's expression was a bit strange. The look in its eyes as it looked at the mantis shrimp was no longer polite, but had become unusually fiery!

"38? Holy crap!"

"This price... is alright."

"Spend 38 yuan to buy a non-specialized necklace without any special effects? What is this shop owner thinking?"

"Don't you understand that money can't buy my happiness? 38 is indeed an astronomical price for us, but for those bosses who made the offer, it's just a meal."

"I think getting this necklace for 38 is an absolute steal! Think about it, isn't the reason why the Night Emperor is so powerful mainly because of the blessing of this necklace?"

"That's right! Now a boss has spent 38 to buy this necklace back. If he just polishes the other parts carefully, wouldn't another Night Emperor be born in no time?"

"You know what, you really have to admit! From this perspective, that 38 yuan was definitely well spent!"

"No...isn't the most outrageous thing that Brother Shrimp once again accurately guessed the transaction price of this necklace?"

"That's so kind of you... Brother Shrimp, please accept my bow!"

"Say no more, Brother Shrimp is awesome! Now our club finally has a second top-notch appraiser besides Brother Cheng, it's so awesome!..."

For the third time, Pipi Shrimp accurately estimated the transaction price of the equipment.

This time, everyone was truly convinced and completely convinced!

Just ten minutes ago, Pipi Shrimp was frowning with worry because it was the first time he had appraised such a top-tier, non-exclusive, full-spirit necklace.

But in the blink of an eye...

I don't know how he did it, but he accurately estimated the transaction price of this necklace without any reference!

In everyone's eyes, this is not just having something, but possessing extraordinary skills!

As for whether the necklace was sold for 38 yuan, was it high or low?

Everyone continued to express their own opinions.

Some people think it's crazy to spend nearly 40 yuan to buy a necklace with full spirit, no special features, and no special effects.

However, some people think that spending only 38 to get the chance to have the top Demon Heaven Palace of Baihua Village resurrected in their own team is an absolute steal!

You know, in order to build an absolutely top-notch team.

Westbrook has spent a lot of money in the past two years, conservatively estimated to be tens of millions.

Even if this money is divided equally among all characters, each account could still accumulate several million.

The overall cost of building a top-tier Demon Palace like the Night Emperor's would only be higher.

Now, for just 38, you have the chance to get a top-tier magic-based character like Night Emperor.

No matter how you calculate it, there's no way you can lose money.

Of course.

The Night Emperor's strength is not solely due to the power of his necklace.

It's worth noting that Night Emperor has auctioned off three pieces of equipment so far, but this necklace is only second in value, even lagging behind the Crystal Clarity Wrath Belt by nearly 40!

We need to continue filming.

This necklace probably won't even be able to hold onto second place.

In other words.

If you only manage to photograph a single necklace without any other accessories.

You might be able to improve your spiritual power significantly, but your other attributes will remain weak, making it impossible for you to dominate the Martial God Altar like the Night Emperor.

"Sure, could you explain your thought process for appraising this necklace?"

Compared to the admiring looks from those around him, Fang Yun's reaction was much calmer.

It wasn't that he wasn't excited, but rather that he knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this talented person in front of him wouldn't be able to escape his grasp.

Such talent would be a complete waste if placed elsewhere.

Only with him can the mantis shrimp fully unleash its talents!

"It's like this, Brother Cheng. Although I've never dealt with this kind of top-tier, non-exclusive, full-spirit necklace before, I do have some experience with necklaces below level 150, though not much..."

Fang Yun asked him to explain his valuation process.

Without further ado, Pipi Shrimp immediately said, "Brother Cheng, you must know that special skills are the most important factor in determining the price of a necklace, while spiritual power is only second."

"For ordinary magic-based players, the High Spirit Necklace is indeed a lifelong pursuit."

"But for top-tier players, high-spirit non-exclusive necklaces are too restrictive. Unless there is a really suitable necklace, they would definitely not consider buying a high-spirit non-exclusive necklace at a high price."

"So at first I valued this necklace at 15 to 30 yuan, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was a bit hasty."

"The fact that the non-dedicated full-spirit necklace has insufficient upper limit is indeed a major flaw, but the Night Emperor is, after all, a top-tier Demon Heaven Palace in the Martial God Altar. In other words, he has already endorsed this necklace with his amazing performance!"

"So after realizing this, I felt that the valuation of this kind of necklace should not be based on the old approach, but should be based on the actual situation."

"After a final reassessment, I believe the price of this necklace should fall between a regular, non-exclusive, high-spirit, non-special-effect necklace and a top-tier, non-exclusive, high-spirit, special-effect necklace. Therefore, a price of 30-45 is the most appropriate..."

As the mantis shrimp earnestly laid out its thoughts,

Not only Fang Yun, but even the Pineapple group, who had been chattering away, fell silent.

They could tell.

At first, I wasn't sure about the price of the mantis shrimp, and the initial estimate was only 15 to 30 yuan.

But what's remarkable about him is that he doesn't need anyone to remind him; he quickly realizes that his valuation is flawed.

As a seasoned arms dealer, Pipi Shrimp has the opportunity to come into contact with top-tier weapons that many ordinary players have never even seen, through various channels.

Logically speaking, one should have more contact with high-end weaponry.

As your valuation ability improves dramatically, it's also easy to develop a habit of thinking that leads to inertia.

The fact that Pipi Shrimp gave this necklace an initial valuation of 15 to 30 yuan is a typical example of habitual thinking.

But he managed to break free from his own habitual thinking and re-examine the necklace from a more objective perspective.

Many people would never even think of doing this, let alone achieve it.

This made Fang Yun very happy.

In the game, Pipi Shrimp is not the only arms dealer with a broad vision; there are many other arms dealers who are even more knowledgeable than him.

But Fang Yun believed that there were probably only a handful of arms dealers who could have such excellent on-the-spot adaptability as Pipi Shrimp and who remained calmer under pressure!

This guy was born to do this.

Fang Yun had even thought it through.

After he lured this guy into the club.

Initially, the opponent will definitely focus on getting familiar with the environment and integrating into the club's rhythm.

But once he integrates in...

Fang Yun would immediately arrange a new identity for him—

The number one appraisal streamer for fantasy!

Anyone who has watched Dreamy Live should be familiar with this type of streamer.

Even in the previous life when the popularity of Dream Live was not particularly high.

Skilled valuation livestreamers can easily earn millions a year.

But in this life...

With the overall influence of the game growing, especially with top players like Fang Yun attracting massive traffic, the game's popularity has increased.

It's hard to say how far Dream Live will evolve in this lifetime.

Regardless of how popular this dream live stream becomes in this lifetime.

As long as Pipi Shrimp retains his valuation skills, Fang Yun is confident that he can be developed into a true ace for the club!

As for whether the other party will want to start their own business after becoming famous...

Fang Yun didn't care about such things; if there were any problems, he could just go to Su Jiu.

Oh, and there's her entire legal team behind her.

all in all.

The appearance of the mantis shrimp and the abilities it displayed stirred a long-lost passion within Fang Yun.

For someone as skilled in gaming as him, maintaining stable operations for his several teams is just one aspect of his abilities.

We should try to discover as many potential stocks as possible, turn them into trump cards, and then use them to support the club, ultimately forming a stable and sustainable cash flow.

This is one of the future goals that Fang Yun set for himself after thinking about it carefully for several nights.

However, due to various trivial matters and the lack of a suitable person around, it was temporarily put on hold.

And now.

With the emergence of mantis shrimp.

This long-stalled plan can finally be restarted.

"Your thinking is very clear, and your valuation is very accurate. You're quite something, kid. You've got some special skills, so you're playing dumb at our club, aren't you?"

Now that he had a plan, Fang Yun's attitude towards Pipi Shrimp changed.

Unfortunately, Pipi Shrimp was already tired of being praised by Pineapple and the others, and didn't immediately notice the change in Fang Yun's tone.

Upon hearing this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "No, no, absolutely not! Brother Cheng, we've known each other for a while now, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

"Alright, the auction is still going on. I'd like to see if you can pull off a stunt today."

Seeing that he was still a bit reserved, Fang Yun stopped teasing him and turned his attention back to the auction on the screen.

At this point, the meditation session had already announced that the third item had been sold.

As for the price, just like the previous two items, he didn't intend to reveal it to the audience at all.

In fact, given his meditative nature, he would love to shout out the news of such transactions, which could easily involve hundreds of thousands of dollars, so that everyone would know.

But a pity.

He was just a ruthless auction machine this time. He had no say in the starting price or the final price, and Westbrook had strictly forbidden him from revealing the final price from the very beginning.

The reason is actually quite simple.

Although Westbrook has stopped playing, he still doesn't want to break the rules of the industry.

After all, he auctioned off a very large quantity of weapons this time, and if he is targeted, he will suffer very serious losses!

that's it.

After bidding on three pieces of equipment in a row.

Meditation first took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then continued the auction for the fourth piece of equipment.

Meanwhile, Fang Yun and his group got really into watching the drama unfold.

Whenever a new item appeared in the listings, they would all glance at the mantis shrimp. After the seller reluctantly quoted a price, everyone would patiently wait for the final transaction price sent by the listing.

You know what, it’s quite fun.

While maximizing entertainment value.

As more and more items were auctioned off at the meditation area, Pineapple and the others looked at the mantis shrimp with increasing astonishment—

This guy is fucking amazing!

From the very first item up for auction until now.

The final selling price of each item never exceeded the estimated price range given by Pipi Shrimp.

This is actually a very exaggerated thing.

It's worth noting that although Pipi Shrimp is just an arms dealer, his familiarity with top-tier equipment is remarkable.

He wasn't even as good as the most ordinary employee in the club.

After all, these employees deal with Fang Yun's top-tier accounts every day.

But Pipi Shrimp doesn't have that opportunity; every chance to come into contact with high-end weapons and make deals is precious to him.

But he managed to use these rare opportunities to develop a whole set of valuation rules.

To Pineapple and his friends, this was practically divine! (End of Chapter)
