Level 1 Player

Chapter 84 Free server open

Gespit, who tried to earn pocket money by selling exchange jewellery, eventually fell to Hyunseong’s persuasion.

It was decided to sell the exchange jewels at a low price of 1 billion points.

After that, everything went smoothly.

The first thing to do was a basic performance test.

Hyunseong returned to the original world with the jewel of exchange.

‘Shall we try it?’

Hyunseong applied the exchange’s jewelry provider to the free server.

Wrath!

The free server, which was just an ordinary machine, turned into an item.

Free Server – Legendary Rank

-Region is a private free server.

– You can exchange information by consuming points through the Gem of Exchange.

-The target for paying the consumed points is designated as a guest.

– 70% of the points earned are distributed to Choi Hyunseong and 30% to Guest.

Rexge Free Server has become a legendary item.

Hyunseong also applied the exchange’s gem supplier to the free servers of other games, making them all legendary items.

‘Let’s test it.’

Hyunseong started the connection.

‘It’s a local area network rather than the Internet.’

The overall framework was similar, perhaps because the gem of exchange created by Gespit itself was modeled on a local area network.

Hyunseong contacted the computer preset by Guest through the master computer.

‘Let’s try the first patch first.’

I had to check to see if it was patched properly.

Hyunseong continued the test by going back and forth between the Earth and the guest world.

The results were surprising.

‘It seems to be about as fast as ADSL.’

Compared to 6G in modern society, it was slow and bursting with speed.

However… … .

‘For now, this is enough.’

It was fast enough to run classic games like Lee X Ji, De X Ro, Bar X X Ra, and Sc X X XT.

Of course, if you think about it in the long run, of course, you had to increase the speed to the level of the flanker.

This had room for improvement.

‘I think I’ll just have to change Gespit-nim and the Demon World craftsmen.’

They’ve already made great prototypes.

It was said that it was sufficiently possible to make improvements based on that.

“How are you? Are you okay?”

Guest asked with a curious expression.

“Yes, it looks like the service will be available right now. However, in the long run, there is a need to increase the speed of information exchange. Please make improvements.”

At Hyunseong’s dignified request, the guest stared and shook his head.

“I hate that. Didn’t you say that the service is still possible? Do you really need to make improvements?”

“I don’t know what Gespit does, but as long as the speed increases, the types of games that you can enjoy are really limitless. West X, X X X, X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X XORE from our X for All. … .”

From Hyunseong’s mouth, the names of various games flowed out one after another without stopping.“Ugh, I see. Don’t try.”

Finally, Guest raised the white flag.

It was difficult for Gespit, a serious gamer, to avoid the temptation of new work.

“You can go slow. Well, it’s just that the new game is serviced a little later. Then I will go to my world and prepare for the service.”

Hyunseong left a threat, not a threat, to the guest and returned to the original world.

The Legendary item ‘For Recipients of the Gem of Exchange’ made by Gespit has been added to the purchase list.

Because of its low price, it began to sell quickly.

Although it is consumable, it is a legendary item.

However, Legendary items are worth only 1 billion points.

This was pretty much the same.

Customers who bought computers were curious and purchased the exchange jewelery beneficiaries.

After that, I applied the purchased exchange’s jewelry for recipients to the computer.

A new world opened up with him.

* * *

Gaktubuk loved arcade games and computer games very much.

However, there was a time when I rejected Hyunseong’s proposal to install a local area network.

‘Why did I do that then?’

I was inclined to reject it because of my emotions.

But it was sad.

Singleplayer was fun, but I couldn’t resist the temptation to play multiplayer with multiple players.

I’d rather not know if I don’t know, but a review of multiplayer using a local area network has been posted on the VVIP bulletin board every day.

Have you installed a local area network?

– Posted by: Vifar

I stumbled across Choi Hyunseong player in the mercenary hire list.

He hired him for protest purposes, and then he was persuaded to set up a local area network, which is the best.

The games we enjoyed, such as Lee X Ji, De X Ro, Bar X X Ra, and S X K X T, did not play alone.

It was a game enjoyed by several people.

At first, I thought I was deceived by Choi Hyunseong’s words.

But now I have completely changed my mind.

At that time, I think I was really good at being deceived by Choi Hyunseong.

↳ Brow – I admit it.

↳ Dashat – I agree.

↳ Androbit – Buying a local area network is a whole new world! Please buy it!

↳ Terchin – That’s right. I never regret it. And if possible, invest a lot of money. The more people you play with, the more fun it is.

↳ Okabaiel – It’s not wrong, I think I’m bitten now. There are too few people. I think at least a few thousand people would be able to enjoy the game.

↳ Puvektu – Then buy thousands of computers and run them. Oh, you can’t do that because you’re a beggar?

↳ Okabaiel – How many points does it cost to buy thousands of computers? If you are doing that, please post a verification video. or don’t believe

… … aftermath… …

The VVIP bulletin board was in turmoil.

It was mainly about local area networks sold by a player named Choi Hyunseong.

It was very regrettable that Gaktoubk refused to listen to Choi Hyunseong’s words at that time.

Since then, Choi Hyunseong has continuously applied for mercenary employment, but it has never been accepted.

‘Why did I do that then?’

It is not possible to enjoy multiplayer that other players enjoy alone.So close.

I was no longer satisfied with the single-player game I had enjoyed so far.

‘uh?’

At that time, Gaktubuk’s eyes were on the exchange jewelery recipient.

For Exchange Gems Recipients – Legendary Rank

-You can designate one computer for the exchange’s jewelers.

-Computers that use the Exchange Gem can communicate with each other and exchange points.

-Points are consumed every time you pass information.

-Point consumption increases depending on the amount of information delivered and the number of targets.

– This is a consumable item.

– The target of paying the consumed points is designated as a buyer.

-Seller: Guest

-Sales price: 999,999,999 points

‘cheap!’

Legendary items are only worth 1 billion points.

Performance was also great.

Computers can exchange information with each other.

A way has been opened for Gaktubek to enjoy the multiplayer that he has longed for.

Without hesitation, Gaktubuk purchased the exchange jewel.

If the price was high, I would have thought for a while, but for the low price of 1 billion points, my hands moved before my head.

Each tubk applied the jewel of his exchange to his computer.

After that, Gaktoubk fell into the world of multiplayer.

* * *

‘This is no joke.’

The number of players connecting has increased dramatically.

At first, it was limited to a few hundred people connecting.

However, after a while, several thousand people connected, and now the number of concurrent users has exceeded 10,000.

‘How many dimensions are there?’

Hyunseong has significantly lowered the barrier to entry.

All you need is a computer, a large-capacity battery for camping, and a jewel of alternating current to enjoy the game.

To be honest, even if there are only 10 billion points, this setting is enough.

But what really mattered was not the point, but the leeway.

Enough to spend points on hobbies rather than survival.

The number of players leading such a leisurely life exceeded 10,000.

This meant that the number of dimensions connected through the system was beyond Hyunseong’s imagination.

The number of users continued to increase even after exceeding 10,000.

‘I have to share this server.’

I thought one server would be enough.

However, it seemed that I had to create another server.

Hyunseong quickly added the server.

And in the case of the first server, it was determined that the character creation was impossible.

‘It’s like this in one game.’

Hyunseong has already increased the number of servers for other games.If there are too many simultaneous users, you can’t enjoy the game properly, so even if you merge the servers later, you need to split them up right now.

Hyunseong was frantically clinging to server management.

He hired experts ahead of time to set up the perfect setup.

Hyunseong thought it would be possible to run a game server alone with the help of experts.

But that was Hyunseong’s mistake.

‘I’m going to create a professional team.’

The problem was security.

‘Let’s try it.’

People have to pick

After that, all you have to do is create a situation where you have no choice but to keep a secret, whether it’s a contract of the soul or something.

I have no intention of forcing you.

However, I was going to promise a huge amount of remuneration that is hard to imagine to the programmers applying for this job.

‘It’s not like I’m going to do business in a day or two.’

You have to service all the classic games that have been made in the past.

The game is still out, so there was no need to worry about the sequel.

‘I need to start another company.’

He was going to hire professional people to run a game company properly.

When he promised a high wage, skilled professionals flocked to him like a cloud.

I felt a lot watching it.

‘The treatment of the game industry in Korea is very poor.’

When skilled professionals were hired, the scattered problems were solved neatly.

‘It’s an investment for the time being.’

Currently, while operating several game servers, there was no profit earned.

Although sales of large-capacity camping batteries and diesel generators increased rapidly, they were only secondary gains.

In the case of Gespit, rather than making a profit, it was a situation where the more they sold, the more they lost money.

To be honest, up until now, it was just like giving out for free.

‘Not much left.’

After all of the exchange jewels were sold out, about a month passed and the players were deeply engrossed in the game.

‘It goes into a full monthly subscription.’

If you go into pay-per-view, you’ll probably drop quite a few players.

But there will be more people who pay and keep playing the game than those who fall.

This is because the plan was to set the monthly fee at a relatively low price.

‘To sell cash items, there must be as many users as possible.’

A monthly subscription is just the beginning.

In Hyunseong’s head, there were countless items for sale that could rake players’ points.

‘I will release all the charging elements of Korean games.’

As much as Hyunseong remembers being hit, he knew better than anyone how powerful the temptation of billing and Hyun-jil was for gamers.

* * *

The advent of the RPG game really gave players a tremendous shock and horror.

In addition, the fact that the opponent he met in the game was a player like him, a strong sense of competition arose.

Hyunseong put the voice talk function along with the chat function in the RPG game.

The player can freely understand and read languages ​​and characters, but the keyboard with Korean and English keyboards was a problem.

So, he put the voice talk function that can be customized to the classic RPG game so that conversations are possible freely.

Players enjoyed the game through individual hunting and party hunting, and even created a guild on their own.

Literally completely immersed in the world of RPG games.

‘Now we can release it soon.’

The key was how much the conversion rate would come out.

‘I think it would be fine if I only give 20% of it.’

Even in the worst case scenario, it seemed like it would be over 10%.

That was enough to maintain the server.

Hyunseong posted a server maintenance notice.

Players who were familiar with the game to some extent moved their characters to a safe place and closed the connection.

‘Now is the beginning.’

In the meantime, I have operated a free server with the heart of a farmer who sows seeds.

But now it was time to pick up the sickle and harvest the results of the past.

* * *

Gaktubuk was enjoying the game with a happy heart.

‘I didn’t know it was so much fun.’

I didn’t know that raising the level, catching monsters, and farming items would be so much fun.

Unwittingly, Gaktoubk was pouring more affection on himself in the game than himself in reality.

In reality, there are skills and items.

However, in reality, it did not give much stimulus to Gaktubuk, who had already risen to the ranks of the strongest.

But the game was different.

There were a lot of players with the same unique skills as you, and you had to compete with them to win.

A long-forgotten feeling of fighting spirit rose strongly.

‘uh?’

Then, suddenly, an announcement was made.

– Regular server maintenance will be continued. Please move the character to a safe area.

‘Is the time already like this?’

It was frustrating, but it also raised anticipation.

This is because a major update was announced during this regular server maintenance.

Gaktoubk moved the character to a safe place and ended the game.

After that, he went to the homepage in advance and looked at the contents to be updated.

The homepage was filled with large-scale updates such as the removal of the max level limit, the addition of new items and new boss mobs.

‘Yeah, that’s how I feel to play! Okay, very good.’

A bright smile spread across Gaktoubk’s face.

‘uh?’

As he read the update notice with a bright face, Gaktoubk’s face was filled with embarrassment.

Because there was something completely unexpected at the end.

Declare the full charge of Rexji!

-30-day subscription: 2,999,999,999 points

-90-day subscription: 7,999,999,999 points

-365 days subscription: 29,999,999,999 points

‘what’s this?’

Is it all paid?

It was a completely unexpected situation.

‘Isn’t it just for free? You pay points every time you log in.’In order to enjoy online games, you have to constantly pay points.

‘Does this make sense?’

I’m already paying points, but they say I need to pay more.

For Gaktubk, who was in the midst of the game, the declaration of a full payment was like a clear blow.

After the paid-up notice, there was an explanation of why there was no choice but to pay.

‘They say that the points I pay are simple information usage fees.’

It is said that the player who runs the game server has been maintaining the game by consuming his points.

‘Well, there are no players who can do good for others.’

Fortunately, the pay-per-view price was very cheap.

3 billion points in 30 days.

I only did about 100 million points a day.

‘For the price of one hero-grade item, you can have fun for a year.’

Gaktoubk chose to pay for a 365-day flat-rate pass without any burden.

And it wasn’t just Gaktubuk who made this choice.

Other players also chose to pay without much burden, whether for a month, three months, or a year.

It was decisive that the flat rate was not very expensive.

* * *

‘tremendous.’

A really great point came.

For each player, 30 billion points is not a huge amount.

However, when the number of players gathered like that becomes hundreds of thousands, the story is different.

‘It’s a shame.’

Unfortunately, this point is not Hyunseong’s.

It came to Hyunseong, but I have to give it back to Guest.

It was necessary to preserve the initial investment cost.

Hyunseong was not an idiot to the point of dedicating the initial investment cost entirely to Guest and demanding a 7 to 3 ratio.

Guest also wasn’t that good at it.

‘But it’s just a matter of time.’

The paid conversion rate was significantly higher than Hyunseong’s expectations.

Hyunseong thought that it would be a success if it exceeded about 20%.

However, the paid conversion rate is over 80%.

There was an invitation that slightly exceeded Hyunseong’s expectations.

‘There are people who enjoy playing multiple games at the same time, so it’s totally beneficial.’

One player didn’t just play one game.

He played several games at the same time.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to read and enjoy the script as well?

‘Now is the beginning.’

He earned a lot of points with a flat rate.

But this was only the beginning.

We had to apply the stochastic billing system of the Korean game industry, which has the know-how of slowly sucking money from users.

‘You should also prepare to open Item XX.’

The establishment of a real system that allows you to purchase items and game money through points is already over.

A system that converts game money into points is established as long as it is opened at an appropriate time.

‘It swims completely on the ground.’There are no other game companies that can be said to be competitors, so Hyunseong was able to suck honey properly.

-Employer Gespit has applied for the employment of mercenary Choi Hyunseong. Accept?

-[Yes No]

A call came from the guest.

Hyunseong immediately clicked yes.

Wrath!

With a bright halo, Hyunseong moved to the dimension of the guest.

“You were right!”

Guest greeted Hyunseong with a bright smile.

He was sure of his success, but he was probably dubious.

But, as Hyunseong said, the jackpot exploded.

From the point of view of Guest, who invested a lot in this event, of course, there was no choice but to laugh.

“Once you get it.”

Hyunseong reached out to Guest.

Guest held Hyunseong’s hand.

Hyunseong handed over all the points he earned to Guest.

This is because he has not yet recovered the initial investment cost.

Perhaps this will continue for some time to come.

But Hyunseong was sure he would be able to recoup all of his initial investment within a week.

It took so much time because a lot of points were used to make the exchange jewels.

After that, you only need to spend a small amount of points to maintain the server and send information.

“Thank you so much. Your virtue is great.”

“no. I have really benefited from Guest.”

Guest and Hyunseong painted each other’s faces with gold.

Hyunseong and Guest were perfect partners.

Without either one, the game wouldn’t have sold to a huge number of players.

“I want to give you a little present.”

“You don’t have to.”

At Geth’s words, Hyunseong patted his hand and put the words out of his mouth.

It was a polite refusal and empty words.

“I will take care of your armor.”

At the guest’s word, Hyunseong was terribly surprised.

“You mean the Demon King’s armor?”

“Yes.”

“Is that really possible?”

“It was also made by me and the demon craftsmen. It is possible to increase the performance slightly. Of course, it will cost a lot of money.”

A bright smile formed on Hyunseong’s lips.

Demon King’s Armor Set.

There was a good option, so I bought it with a big heart.

Now, I have a lot of room for points, but I kept wearing it with the intention of replacing it when I got myth grade armor in the future.

But what if Guest upgrades before that?

From Hyunseong’s point of view, it was a complete thank you.

“Take off your armor and go home. In a few days, you will be able to see the armor of the Demon King custom-made for you.”

“all right.”Hyunseong took off the Demon King’s armor and handed it over to Guest.

It was handing over trillions of points, but neither Hyunseong, who entrusted it, nor the guest, who received it were burdened at all.

For these two people, an item worth trillions of points was like a penny.

Hyunseong broke up with Guest while talking about future update policies and billing items.

* * *

‘Now it’s over.’

Hyunseong happily waited for the points to be allocated as his share.

All the points that have been received so far have been used to pay off the initial investment.

But from now on it wasn’t.

The points that come in the future are completely up to Hyunseong.

“You look good, my lord.”

“Of course it’s good. The time has finally come to harvest the fruits. How eagerly have you been waiting?”

Hyunseong smiled and answered Lucia’s question.

‘You didn’t even have to wait a few days… … .’

Lucia was absurd.

“But is it still impossible to equip the master system with e-books or streaming services?”

“It’s not fast enough for streaming services. E-books are possible, but there are some copyright issues.”

When Hyunseong serves e-books or paid serials, there is a copyright problem.

Because of copyright issues, all movies and animations that have been sold in the past have been purchased and sold on genuine DVDs.

“Isn’t it possible to formally sign a copyright contract? Or sell it as a book.”

At Lucia’s words, Hyunseong nodded.

That was also something to consider.

E-book content is a fairly large market as well as video content.

In the case of novels and comics, the size of the market continues to grow.

In some cases, it becomes an original for a movie or drama, but even if it is not, sales of e-books through the Internet and the paid serialization market were rapidly growing.

Crucially, compared to movies and dramas, a huge amount is prepared.

“Let’s try it.”

I don’t plan on buying it at a cheap price.

I was thinking of putting a huge amount of money into the mouths of the writers, so much that they could not earn even if they lived their entire lives, and brought the copyright to the work.

“I will contact you directly.”

Lucia took an active role.

“Lucia herself? Wouldn’t it be better for me to do it?”

“no. I’ll do it.”

Lucia strongly appealed her argument.

‘Come to think of it, these days, you’ve been completely absorbed in novels.’

He indulged in drama, learned the existence of the original novel, and moved on to it.

Then recently, I was completely absorbed in web novels and webtoons.

“Do by that way. But maybe even if you sign a contract, you will meet the person in charge of the publisher, but it will not be easy to meet the writer.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Lucia’s expression darkened slightly.

“But won’t it come out if you throw in a lot of money? After all, the copyright belongs to the author.”

Lucia’s face turned red again.

‘I mean, you can’t hide your emotions in private matters while not in public affairs.’

An evil smile appeared on Hyunseong’s lips.

Lucia certainly had fun teasing.
