Chapter 115 A Heavenly Emperor Descends ( )
"Ah Hui, Yanzi, what are you talking about?" Dong Zhi Qiu walked over with a smile and asked with concern.
Ahui shook her head, her eyes flickering slightly. "The manager? No, he didn't say anything. Yanzi and I were just chatting."
Yanzi asked somewhat guiltily, "Manager, why did you log off so early today?"
Judging from their reactions, Dong Zhi Qiu probably knew what they had been talking about.
Dong Zhiqi has always been an easy-going boss. She wouldn't say anything if the shop assistants slacked off or chatted during their free time.
The fact that the two of them are dodging like this must be related to "Phoenix Moon Fantasy"!
When employees dream about making money through games in the future, aren't they most afraid of their boss finding out?
Who knows, I might get fired by my boss before I even buy the helmet or figure out the game.
At that point, forget about making money; they might not even be able to afford three meals a day.
If it weren't for the cake shop backing Dong Zhi Qiu, how would he dare to be so reckless as to kill rabbits in the game for five months?
Others make a lot of money in a month, but she didn't earn a single penny in a month.
Wouldn't people laugh themselves to death if they told others?
"Isn't it the end of the month? I've come to check the shop's accounts, and then... make plans for the future," Dong Zhiqi said, taking a clipboard with a pen attached from the counter as she answered Yanzi's question.
Then, as if he had just thought of something, Dong Zhiqi smiled mischievously and winked, saying, "Isn't the game helmet for 'Phoenix Moon Fantasy' going to be released in large quantities tomorrow? I'm thinking about whether I should make some plans."
Yanzi looked at Dong Zhiqi nervously and said, "Manager, what do you mean? Are you... closing the store?"
Dong Zhiqi nodded hesitantly and said, "I do have that idea. After all, I can't always be a hands-off manager, can I?"
"I don't have the energy to manage a shop when I'm playing games, and I find hiring a shop manager too much trouble." Dong Zhiqi shrugged helplessly. "So I'm really torn right now."
Dong Zhi Qiu asked, "Yan Zi, A Hui, what are you thinking? Would you rather stay and work at the cake shop, or earn money in the game?"
If the two of them don't plan to leave the cake shop and enter the game right now, Dong Zhi Qiu will not close the shop for the time being.
Firstly, I wanted to take care of the shop's employees as much as possible; secondly, even though there aren't as many customers now, the cake shop's business is still quite good.
Even if "Phoenix Moon Fantasy" makes a lot of money, it's impossible for everyone to enter the game and make money.
First of all, even if players buy a gaming pod, and even if the pod is said to contain nutrient solution that can maintain the nutrients needed by humans, it cannot completely replace eating.
The influence of food should not be underestimated.
Secondly, even if gaming pods are cheaper, not everyone can afford them or is willing to buy them. Most people, like Yanzi, still use gaming headsets. And as a normal person, two meals a day are essential, right?
Finally, virtual games are still in their infancy. Although "Phoenix Moon Fantasy" claims to allow players to earn money within the game and even displays the redemption rules on its official website, people take time to accept new things.
Young people are often the first to embrace these new things because they are not afraid to try again.
People below university level need to study and take exams, people over middle age are not willing to easily try to change their original comfortable life, and the elderly are too lazy to spend time to understand. The real market is only young people with university degrees or above.
Dong Zhiqi's cake shop is located on a busy street. In the morning, there are many people buying bread or small cakes for breakfast. Although there are fewer customers at noon and in the evening, the turnover is higher.
Come to think of it, breakfast is all about convenience and ease, so it doesn't really matter what you eat.
If you want to treat yourself during your lunch break or before heading home from get off work in the evening, it's not a big deal to spend ten or twenty yuan on a fancy little cake.
"Um..." Ah Hui wasn't sure if Dong Zhi Qiu had overheard her conversation with Yan Zi and was testing her, so she shook her head and didn't say anything more.
Swallow, however, readily admitted it.
Yanzi asked with some curiosity, "Manager, you've been playing 'Phoenix Moon Fantasy' for so long, is it really as easy to make money as the forums say?"
Dong Zhi Qiu thought to himself: I've been killing rabbits in the newbie village for five months and haven't earned a single coin. How am I supposed to know if it's easy to make money?
However, Dong Zhi Qiu also knew that it was possible to make money in "Phoenix Moon Fantasy".
Especially in the early stages before the exchange between real and virtual currencies was enabled, top players would secretly buy virtual currency on the black market to earn money to buy equipment, skill books, and so on.
At that time, the exchange rate was about 1:100, but you should know that the official exchange rate later became 1:1.
However, earning unbound virtual currency is not easy.
Without sufficient combat power, it's not easy to easily obtain unbound virtual currency.
"Well, it's not a matter of easy or difficult. It's just that there are opportunities to make money. If you have the skills and patience, it's possible to make money in the game." Dong Zhiqi thought for a moment and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as you have the determination to make money, you will definitely be able to make money."
Yanzi sighed softly: "Although everyone on the forum says you can make money from it, it all feels unreal."
Yanzi seemed a little hesitant, saying, "After all, which of those online games before 'Phoenix Moon Fantasy' didn't advertise that you could make money in the game? It's just a pity... I feel much more at ease knowing that someone I know has personally experienced it."
"Hmm." Dong Zhi Qiu nodded and said, "I knew you would be interested in Yan Zi."
"Thank you, store manager." Yanzi said earnestly, "Without your personal experience, I might have hesitated for a while longer before making a decision."
"If you're willing, then it's naturally the earliest and best time." Dong Zhiqi knew that Yanzi would eventually enter the game, so he encouraged her, "Otherwise, once the once rare virtual currency becomes commonplace, there won't be any business opportunities left."
Dong Zhiqi looked at Ahui again and said, "If you all intend to leave, after I take stock of the inventory and accounts today, I will have a clearance sale tomorrow to use up all the inventory, and then we can close the cake shop."
Ahui was silent for a moment before saying, "Then Aunt Lin and Uncle Guo..."
After all, they've been colleagues for three years. Finding a job isn't easy these days, and given Aunt Lin and Uncle Guo's age, they wouldn't be making money through games.
"You don't need to worry about that, I've already thought it through."
Ah Hui nodded and said, "Manager, I'd also like to try my luck in 'Phoenix Moon Fantasy'."
"After all... being able to enjoy the scenery while making money is my dream." More than making money, Ahui wants to fulfill her dream by playing more games.
Ahui said excitedly, "My dream can't be realized in reality, but I heard that the scenery in 'Phoenix Moon Fantasy' is very beautiful, and I only need to spend 100 yuan to buy a game helmet. Even if I can't make a lot of money, as long as I can have enough to eat, that's enough."
"I understand." Dong Zhi Qiu nodded. Anyway, A Hui and Yan Zi would leave sooner or later, so why should he keep them hanging on?
