Chapter 888: Sad explorer

"Brother, the best equipment, do you want to come in for a look? Whether it's self-protection or murder, these are all necessities! The price is fair, and the young man is not bullied!"

"Don't miss it when you pass by, the freshly baked butter muffins are delicious, as long as 30 copper coins, you can eat all you can eat!"

"Young man, do you want to buy some flowers for your girlfriend? She will like it! As a qualified gentleman, you must learn to please women!"

...

As he walked inward, Zhou Xing’s ears heard the words of the store from time to time, but he turned a deaf ear. Because of his clear purpose, he came here to find an NPC called an explorer. As an explorer, there must be someone around him. map!

Because there was a map of the city, Zhou Xing was also easy to find. After more than ten minutes, he found the explorer's home-a shady cabin.

Boom boom boom, Zhou Xing knocked gently on the door.

Not long after hearing a squeak, the door opened, and a gray-haired old man appeared in Zhou Xing’s sight. The latter was taken aback and hurriedly asked: "Excuse me, this is the work of the great explorer Griffiths. Home?"

"Yes, what can you do with me?" Griffith asked in a hoarse voice, with endless exhaustion in his voice.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing was taken aback again. He thought that the person in front of him was the explorer’s father or grandfather, but he did not expect that he himself, Zhou Xing hurriedly sorted out his emotions, and respectfully said: "Dear explorer, I am a Adventurers, I hope to learn more about this continent. May I ask if you have any maps you can sell. The bigger and more accurate the better, I will provide you with a price that is satisfactory."

"Be careful with your wallet. There are many thieves on this street. In short, come first." Griffith reminded him and led Zhou Xing into the house.

It was daytime, but the cabin was very dim, and the room was full of dangling, piled up with debris, Zhou Xing walked two steps before bumping, but he said nothing, for fear of arousing disgust from the owner.

Soon, the two came to the only small window in the house. Griffith asked Zhou Xing to sit on a "seat" made of books. He leaned against the wall and hit a Yawned big, as if he had just woke up recently.

"Do you want to buy a map? The bigger the better?"

"Yes, that's true!"

"To tell you the truth, the only thing I have in my family except books is maps. When I was young, I was an avid travel enthusiast. I vowed to travel the entire Sanctuary continent, but the facts defeated me ruthlessly. The sanctuary was too big. I am too small, I have exhausted my youth and lost my health, but I haven't made much way."

"As everyone knows, you are an outstanding explorer, you are too modest!" Zhou Xing is well versed in routines and enthusiastically praised it.

Sure enough, there was a smile on Griffith's pale old face. He shook his head and sighed again. Then he looked out the window and said with emotion: "My energy has been decayed, and I was sickened by a foot. I have entered the loess, but I still have regrets in my heart. Vigorous young man, if you can fulfill my last wish, I would like to give you a free map covering nearly half of the eighth district, how about?"

"Your wish is my wish, I would like to hear the details!" Zhou Xing was overjoyed, his face still respectful.

"Oh... it's all to blame for my wayward behavior when I was young. I spent many years traveling and expeditions abroad. I ignored my family and even my children. My lover died of illness. When I rushed back, she had been cremated. My only son Charlotte and After a big uproar, I ran away from home! Decades have passed and I have never seen him again. If you can find him back and let me look at him again, I will die!"

Griffith leaned back, wrinkles and sadness on his old face.

After hearing this, Zhou Xing was moved, and immediately said: "I will do my best! Please tell me everything about Charlotte to help me find him."

"Okay! Thank you!"

Afterwards, Griffith took out all the things related to Charlotte, including his portrait, childhood toys, clothes worn, etc. Zhou Xing temporarily appeared as Holmes in an attempt to find some clues from it.

In the end, he performed deduction in the cabin, and finally obtained a coordinate, which was only a dozen miles away from Aliu City. Zhou Xing was overjoyed and immediately left, and then went straight to the destination.

Before leaving the city, Zhou Xing ran into someone head on, who was actually Ruixuechuntang!

"Why are you?" Zhou Xing asked in surprise.

"Haha, you really are here, you are not allowed to run! It made me use a positioning top, it's so expensive!" Ruixuechuntang said proudly and distressedly.

Zhou Xing was stunned. He really wanted to say: "Are you from a dog skin plaster?" He really regretted being nosy to save people.

At this time, a red dot appeared on his control interface, and a text prompt appeared in front of him, saying that the master system had just performed a major system update online, and the content involved the trading system, please read it carefully.

Zhou Xing suppressed his dissatisfaction and clicked on the red dot to check. He was already angry, but his nose was crooked with anger!

In fact, the system has been updated two. The first is the introduction of a recharge system, which has not been available since the launch of the service, so that players have to go to third-party trading platforms to buy gold when they need gold, which also causes the price of gold to fluctuate. High and low, the market fluctuates greatly. After the introduction of the recharge system, players can get gold coins as long as they are in the game, and the exchange ratio is fixed, that is, 10,000 real coins = 1 gold coin, 100 real coins = 1 silver coin, 1 reality Coin = 1 copper coin.

In order to prevent the oversupply of gold coins caused by various reasons, the price of gold corresponding to the actual currency is lower than the system pricing, so that players still go to third-party trading platforms to buy cheaper gold coins, causing the game producer to not earn For many bad results such as money, the system introduced the second policy, which is to subdivide gold coins into gold coins and bound gold coins.

What players get by recharging krypton gold in the game is gold coins, there is no obstacle to use, and the bound gold coins can neither be traded outside the game nor circulated among players, and can only be used for player-to-system or NPC use. The reason why Zhou Xing was so angry was because all his hundreds of thousands of gold coins were forcibly converted into bound gold coins, losing the function of converting them into real gold and silver. Although he has not been short of money, this change still gave him a humiliation of being robbed by the system.

The impact of this policy on him is only a general level. The players who are hit the most are the gold players. They get real money rewards by selling gold coins, but when this system is updated, it is directly cut off. The way for this group of people to survive is because no matter whether these currencies are obtained from fighting monsters or doing tasks, they belong to the binding gold coins and can no longer be sold outside the game.

"Ah!!!" Ruixue Chuntang suddenly yelled, shocking Zhou Xing.
