Chapter 54: Let's try teaming up?
Yang Feiqi has always thought that being a tomb raider is a lucrative profession.
He graduated from the training school, and only a week later, he already had more than a million yuan in cash.
Unexpectedly, Fuling said that this line of work is very difficult.
"If you don't find any gold collectibles, one million Haff coins are actually only worth ten thousand dollars in general currency."
Fuling began to explain the financial details to Yang Feiqi, "But individuals need to rent special service warehouses to enter the map. The usual price is a 50% commission on the revenue."
In other words, if you earn 10,000 yuan, the Special Operations Department will take 5,000 yuan. Moreover, the Special Operations Department's cut doesn't take into account losses.
For example, even though you have a million to withdraw, you used nearly 200,000 in bullets and armor repair money during the game.
So the actual profit should be 800,000.
However, the companies that rent the special operations warehouses will still receive a cut based on the one million in revenue.
Fu Ling rambled on and on, and Yang Feiqi finally understood the difficulties faced by individual tomb raiders.
The cost for an individual tomb raider to enter the map once is around 10,000 yuan, and even if they successfully escape with a million yuan, they only earn 3,000 to 4,000 yuan.
Four successful evacuations were carried out in one month, totaling 12,000.
However, if the evacuation fails even once, the 10,000 yuan spent on equipment upon entering the map will be completely lost.
That means you earn 12,000 a month, but you have to keep 10,000 of it to cover the losses from a failed evacuation, and the remaining 2,000 is for your living expenses.
Only by receiving a job from a large company that handles war preparations can one earn a small amount of money after successfully completing the task.
This is the dilemma of individual tomb raiders: their ability to bear risks is too poor.
"My two former teammates decided to give up being full-time tomb raiders and go find jobs."
Fu Ling continued, "Many tomb raiders find that after trying it full-time for a while, they actually earn more money as part-time tomb raiders."
Find a decent job, buy some Huff coins, and then spend your weekends running knife runs on the regular dam map or the regular longbow map.
"If you can escape once, you'll break even; if you can escape twice, you'll make a small profit; and if you're lucky enough to find a golden collectible, that's worth several months' salary. Even if you frequently fail to evacuate, it doesn't matter, since being banned from the map doesn't affect your work."
In this world, working part-time as a tomb raider is the mainstream.
The penalty of being banned from entering the map for a month for each failed evacuation is nothing to these part-time workers.
It is because of these large numbers of part-time gold diggers that the exchange rate between HAF Coin and the common currency has remained around one to one hundred.
After talking with Fuling for a while, Yang Feiqi felt that Fuling was indeed a good person.
He wanted to introduce Poria cocos to Bai Mao and Xu Jian.
But he quickly realized that if they got to know each other, Yang Feiqi's fabricated persona in the black market would be exposed.
He won't be able to explain how a tomb raider who just graduated from school could know so much.
So he immediately dismissed the idea.
After having a late-night snack with Fuling, Yang Feiqi returned to the entrance of his rented apartment building.
Then they noticed a small figure crouching at the gate.
"Zhang Pupu?" Yang Feiqi asked tentatively.
"You caught me!" Zhang Pupu stood up with her hands on her hips.
Although the weather has been nice lately, the temperature at night is still quite low.
What's wrong with this little potato? Squatting here so late at night.
"Today is the last day of our bet. Do you have any unreasonable demands? If you don't bring them up now, you won't be able to tomorrow."
"Of course," Yang Feiqi said readily.
"Oh, really?" Zhang Pupu's face changed instantly. She said hesitantly, "Then don't go too far, like inviting me to your house to warm your bed, clean your house, or serve you tea and water. I can only stay until midnight at most."
"My only request is that you go home right now. It's so late at night, and if someone sees this, they'll think I'm being bullied by some delinquent girl."
"Me, a delinquent?!" Zhang Pupu was angered by Yang Feiqi's words and shouted directly, "I'm a proper sweet girl from Sichuan, not some delinquent!"
Are there any sweet girls in Sichuan and Chongqing?
Yang Feiqi expressed disbelief.
"Anything else? If not, I'm going home." Yang Feiqi pointed to the building in front of him. "By the way, how did you find this place? You're not some kind of hidden pervert, are you, following me?"
"I'm not a pervert, I just found out you joined the residents' group."
Zhang Pupu took out her phone, and Yang Feiqi glanced at it.
He hadn't expected that Zhang Pupu also lived here, and had already joined the residents' group. So, as soon as Yang Feiqi entered, Zhang Pupu immediately noticed him.
"Then why didn't you come inside and wait for me at my door? My room number is in my group chat name, isn't it?"
"I thought that was your birthday nickname in my contacts." Zhang Pupu's face turned bright red.
"I've only ever seen one person as dignified as you," Yang Feiqi said, giving Zhang Pupu a thumbs up.
"You're not going to be playing Delta Force and trip over golden collectibles while walking, are you?"
"No, no. I can only pick up one gold collectible every time I enter a map. The drop rate in normal maps is too low, and I don't have permission to enter confidential maps."
"Wait a minute?!" Yang Feiqi's eyes widened. "How many times have you entered the map since you graduated?"
"There are only three times in total. Qianqian's company only allows each person to enter the normal map for free for three days."
"How many golden collectibles did you find in total?"
"Three," Zhang Pupu replied.
The drop rate is insane!
Yang Feiqi was somewhat bewildered.
In a normal map, what does it mean to be able to find a golden collectible every time you enter a map?
If Zhang Pupu and Fuling team up, Fuling will probably never have to worry about Huffcoins again.
A single golden collectible can sell for fifty or sixty thousand yuan.
This is enough to cause several failed attempts by ordinary tomb raiding teams to evacuate from secret locations.
"You're not lying to me, are you?"
"Absolutely not," Zhang Pupu quickly assured him.
"How about we team up and go into the map together tomorrow?" Yang Feiqi was still a little skeptical, and he decided to check it out for himself tomorrow.
He happens to be short of gold collectibles right now.
Because he didn't have an employment contract, he could only enter the map through the special operations warehouse in Lu Qianqian's company.
Each time you enter the map and exit, you need to sell a golden collectible to Lu Qianqian's company in order to have the right to enter the confidential map again next time.
Yang Feiqi had already sold all the golden collectibles he had found to Ms. Yao, and now he needed to find a few more golden collectibles to sell to Flying Tiger Company.
"Great!" Zhang Pupu's eyes lit up immediately when she heard Yang Feiqi's words.
As she followed Yang Feiqi into the apartment building, she muttered to herself, "Looks like I've accumulated enough favorability points to unlock special events. I must perform well tomorrow to gain even more favorability."
"What are you babbling about?" Yang Feiqi didn't hear what Zhang Pupu was saying.
"It's nothing," Zhang Pupu replied immediately, sounding flustered.
