Chapter 130: Chapter 127: The Operations Team is Stunned
Translator: 549690339
Right now, WY’s GM district was in a frenzy too, “What the heck is going on? So many high rollers today?” All of the GMs had started shouting, and soon, GMs from almost all the regions were buzzing, except for a few new areas.
“What on earth… what are they trying to do? My god, is Mars invading Earth?” Each GM was somewhat stunned. If it weren’t for the other party’s fully legitimate recharge record, they would think there was a bug in the server. Otherwise, why would so many people be dumping equipment?
“Nearly everything in the Treasure Pavilion’s Thunder Diamond reserves has been cleared! Some accounts are still frantically opening mall boxes for Thunder Diamonds.” A technician suddenly shouted, ‘You all monitor the data! See if there’s a bug.”
The on-duty tech staff began to sweat a bit. Such behavior should actually be a good thing, as it showed many high spending players in the game. However, this mass incident was not normal. They estimated only a handful of players per server could afford to amass such a haul of diamonds. Plus, an influx of over a hundred high rollers was surely a sign of a bug.
So they needed to keep an eye on their game data. “Currently, there is no issue with the trade system. I have checked the recharge records of these accounts. Their ingots are actually paid for! But I’ve noticed something, these accounts are all currently buying from the Treasure Pavilion! ” a technician in charge of the trade system shouted.
“Um… maybe I know what’s happening?” Davie, in the GM channel, chimed in.
Everyone in the room looked over. Davie scratched his head before speaking, “Um, well, it seems that Literati Saucy Poet had a conflict with his opponent, was mocked by them and then logged out saying he’ll show them why the flowers are so red tonight. His opponent responded saying if he was rich enough, he could buy out our WY. Then…these accounts started to dump all their equipment, purchased from the Treasure Pavilion. Technicians, please check if the new accounts that these purchases were transferred to were all registered at the same time.”
Quiet settled as Davie spoke. All the GMs were a bit stunned. Could this really be possible? The tech personnel were surprised as well, but quickly went off to check. A few minutes later, a technician spoke nervously, “Um… we, we found… the new accounts they were transferred to were all just registered. And…the usernames, well, we’re pretty sure these were purchased by a group of individuals as they are all listed in sequential order.”
“Holy Shit!” A GM couldn’t help but blurt out an expletive.
“Damn Davie, are you saying your region’s high roller bought two hundred accounts, wants to dump diamonds onto all of them and go into the Alliance War?” Another GM couldn’t help but ask.
“Uh… seems like it,” Davie also said in despair. He had seen players spend millions on a game before, but not like Literati Saucy Poet… Never! What a big spender! God! It takes at least 500-600k to max out an account with diamonds, or 700-800k if you factor in spirit beasts. On average, a fully maxed account will cost around 500k.
200 accounts… that means this was a 100 million investment! A 100 million just to participate in an Alliance War? And where did he find these 200 people? It seems like they’ve all been online, otherwise, how on earth did they complete the transaction and start dumping equipment within twenty minutes? Is this guy the owner of an internet café?
However, that thought was quickly dismissed. Not even a national chain of internet cafes would warrant spending 100 million on a game. Davie choked on the words ‘Prodigal Son’ as this thought surfaced.
All the GMs looked at each other. During their investigation, these two hundred accounts, already equipped with fantastic gear, were maxed out with level 20 diamonds within half an hour.
“They changed their names.” One GM noticed.
All the GMs rushed to their computer screens, watching their monitored characters. These characters were buying name and region changing items rapidly, changing their names to start with “Literati one something”, like “Friend Poet”, “Lan Poet”, etc.
“Should this region change be allowed?” A GM questioned with a blank expression. 200 fully diamond-equipped accounts moving to one region… wouldn’t this break the game?
“It has to be! C’mon, do you even have to think about this? If you don’t allow, do you think he will complain? And if he complains, do you think our boss will kick us out?” Another GM answered readily. A high roller like this was every game’s dream come true.
“Damn, suddenly it occurs to me, this high roller…could he really have the financial means to buy our whole IVY company?”
“For someone who can splurge 100 million just like that, how much money do you think he has? Even our boss, do you think he’d casually throw out 100 million just to play a game without feeling the pinch?” The same GM retorted, leaving everyone speechless. The reality was, how much must a person have to casually burn 100 million? It was beyond their comprehension.
“Never mind that now. That’s not for us to worry about. Let’s focus on tonight. I think the tech team should let those off-duty know. I reckon the official website’s forums are going to blow up soon, ” Davie said with a bitter smile.
Everyone nodded in agreement after exchanging glances. Damn, they couldn’t comprehend the world of the high rollers. Every GM sighed as they returned to their seats.
They managed the game and saw many high spending players. But compared to today’s high roller, those previous ones were nowhere near as extravagant.. This was what a true high spender looked like!
