Chapter 82 The Price of Huff Coin Soars
Chapter 82 The Price of Huff Coin Soars
"The Dam Noble's Treasure Box was sold for a final price of 67 million Haff coins."
As soon as the host finished speaking, Yang Feiqi received a notification.
His treasure box eventually sold for 67 million HAF coins, which will be mailed to his Delta account within three days.
Yang Feiqi also needs to mail the treasure box to the auction house's designated account within three days.
In the following days, Yang Feiqi would either look for Xu Jian or Zhang Pupu to take pictures with him every day.
Alternatively, you can find An Lan and Fu Ling together in the image below.
Although the main activity is accessing classified maps, you can basically earn one or two million Haff coins every day.
And during this period, things went as Yang Feiqi had predicted.
The price of HAF coins in the local gold-digging industry in Lin'an has begun to rise rapidly.
But Yang Feiqi originally thought that the ratio would rise to at most 90 to 1 or 80 to 1.
But he never expected that in just a week and a half...
In the underground market of Lin'an, the exchange rate of HAF coins to common currency has risen to fifty to one!
"I really feel like I can't afford to live anymore." Fu Ling went to have dinner with Yang Feiqi and took the opportunity to complain about the current exchange rate of HAF coins.
"The cost of entering the map now is almost half again as high as before. I used to be able to easily break into the administrative building and access classified dams. But now I really don't dare to go in. I feel like I could go bankrupt if I fail even once."
"It's not that serious, is it?" Yang Feiqi said.
"Experts like you can't feel the pressure from the rise of HAFcoin, but we lowly gold diggers are suffering terribly."
Fu Ling said, "If one million Haff coins are withdrawn, the company will take 50%, leaving only 500,000 Haff coins. Then, the consumption of bullets, armor repair, and medicine in the game will amount to 200,000 Haff coins."
In other words, even if you withdraw a million dollars worth of currency, you'll only actually earn 300,000 Haff coins.
However, if an evacuation fails even once, not only will you be unable to enter the map for a month, but you will also need to successfully evacuate four more times to recoup the losses from the failed evacuations.
"Isn't there any tomb raiding company that comes out to win people over and sell HAF coins at a reasonable price?" Yang Feiqi asked curiously.
"Yes, but there are requirements; you have to sign a contract to join their company."
It seems that the tomb-raiding companies in Lin'an are now banding together to eliminate individual tomb raiders and force them to join their companies.
"Can't we buy HAF coins in other cities? The price of HAF coins in Lin'an has gone up, but the exchange rate in Shanghai should be normal, right?" Yang Feiqi asked.
"If you're not a local tomb raider, they won't sell you Haff coins at all." Fu Ling was a little puzzled as to why Yang Feiqi didn't even know this most basic knowledge.
"All tomb raiders will automatically register in the place where they graduated. When we go to other places, the tomb raiding companies can tell at a glance that we are not local tomb raiders."
These companies have agreements that allow out-of-town tomb raiders to sell gold or red collectibles, but they are not allowed to buy HAF coins with the common currency.
If you really want to buy it, you can only go to the black market. But now, black markets in various cities know that the price of Haff currency in Lin'an has skyrocketed, so even if they sell it to us, they'll still charge at least 30% or 40% in commission. In the end, the price is actually about the same as buying it locally.
"I see." Now Yang Feiqi finally understood the meaning behind Jin Ji's words that life would be tough for individual tomb raiders in Lin'an from now on.
The increased cost of HAFcoins might seem to be making more money for gold diggers. However, they still need to exchange HAFcoins for a common currency every month to maintain their real-world livelihoods.
Therefore, the cost of each image entry has increased significantly, and the penalty for failure is much greater.
"By the way, how many Haff coins have you saved up? Is it enough?" Fu Ling asked Yang Feiqi curiously.
"Tens of millions, I guess."
"Uh, never mind."
After having dinner with Fuling, Yang Feiqi went back and thought about it for a while.
He felt that Jinji's doctrine was correct.
Now is indeed the best time to build up your own power.
If you can offer low-priced HAF coins to attract individual gold diggers, it's easy to gather a group of people around you.
Although many of them will leave Yang Feiqi after the price of HAFcoin falls, some will always stay.
With this in mind, Yang Feiqi used his acquaintances to spread the word.
He said he wanted to establish a local mutual aid association for individual tomb raiders in Lin'an.
As a membership benefit, the mutual aid association will provide each member with at least one million official exchange rate HAF coins per month.
Of course, given that Yang Feiqi himself currently has a limited number of HAF coins, the mutual aid association will not recruit too many people at the beginning.
Aside from people he knew like Bai Mao, Xu Jian, Zhang Pupu, An Lan, and Fuling, only individual tomb raiders recommended by these people could qualify for membership.
Of course, Yang Feiqi wasn't foolish enough to use his real name to establish this mutual aid association; instead, he used an alias for his team, Team Seven.
Since this mutual aid group is currently online, registering an extra account can help avoid revealing your identity.
Even so, his mutual aid group attracted more than 20 members in just a few days and sold more than 20 million HAF coins at the fair price.
We need to find a way to get more HAFcoins.
Yang Feiqi glanced at his HAF Coin account balance and then thought about the upcoming special match involving the airdrop return capsule.
I have a Hafk employee ID card, which is just enough to participate in a match.
But now the question is, who should I choose as my teammate?
This special matchup usually involves a setup of two escorts and one boss.
Yang Feiqi already had someone in mind for the boss position: Zhang Pupu was more than qualified.
For the other henchman position, we need to find a highly skilled tomb raider.
So Yang Feiqi thought about it and invited Bai Mao out, telling him about the special match involving the airdrop return capsule.
"To be honest, I'm very tempted." After listening, Bai Mao considered it for a long time before rejecting Yang Feiqi, saying, "But the teams participating in this kind of match are all fixed teams formed by the Tomb Raider Company."
If you get matched with mediocre looting companies, at least you'll have a chance to find the airdrop return capsule.
But if you unfortunately encounter the escort teams of those top-tier tomb raiding companies, let alone opening the return capsule, it's uncertain whether you can even escape alive.
The price of HAFcoin in Lin'an has skyrocketed recently. To participate in this kind of bet, you have to invest millions of HAFcoins at once. If I lose, I could lose half a year's worth of work. The risk and reward are simply not worth it.
"Okay." Yang Feiqi didn't expect Bai Mao to refuse him.
But thinking about it, it makes sense.
From his perspective, Yang Feiqi entered the game with Bai Mao as his henchman and Zhang Pupu as his boss.
But from Bai Mao's perspective, it was just him taking two newbies in to try their luck.
In a normal game, you can get a win if you're lucky.
However, in games where the airdrop return capsule is used, there will be a full map notification before the airdrop lands, and the entire landing process can be seen.
At that time, everyone on the map will engage in battle around the airdrop return capsule.
Bai Mao really wasn't confident that he could successfully get Yang Feiqi and Zhang Pupu into the airdrop pod and evacuate.
