Chapter 768: Chapter 728: The Girl Who Wants to Make Money
This kind of explosive growth also has another important function: optimizing internet speed.
Thanks to the unique architecture of the virtual world, the more users online at the same time, the better the network conditions will be.
Of course, this requires that players’ distances are not too far apart, so as to form a relatively dense network, and truly optimize the network effect.
At present, the 100 million or so devices, if gathered in one city, would have a more significant effect.
But scattered across the country, the effect they can have might only be like adding a drop of water to the Five Great Lakes.
However, as long as this momentum can continue and the number reaches tens of millions, users in big cities with relatively high-density will definitely have a very noticeable feeling.
Thus, unlike Lincoln’s previously hostile attitude towards scalpers, his attitude towards these international smugglers is quite tolerant, even one could say – full of expectation!
As long as the money is in place, he will immediately arrange delivery, giving as much as needed without any limitations.
He just needs to urge them to roll up their sleeves and work hard.
…
Of course, optimizing internet speed in this way, no matter how much it is optimized, it is still not as good as having the entire server center.
Just like Germany’s Supercomputing Center, they did indeed succeed in launching it officially the day before Christmas.
On the day of the launch, almost all German players felt an improvement in their network environment.
And the farther away users are from big cities, the more noticeable the feeling will be.
However, their attention has been diverted by the New Year’s Activities, and they are not rushing to earn points in the Battlefield’s National Warfare; they are still comfortably in second place in the T2 War Zone.
As for why it is second place, not the first…
Because British players were stimulated by this news and sprinted for more points, pushing them to first place in the T2 War Zone.
But if they want to continue moving up, it will be difficult.
And their ambition to become the champions of the next [Peak War] probably will not be realized as well.
Because their network conditions will not improve, and the next participating team will undoubtedly be weaker.
Last time, at least 600 participants were the highest level players in the United Kingdom.
But with the ongoing [Great Britain Peak Battle Qualifiers], no matter who ends up winning – be it England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland – the next [Peak War] will only feature a team that consists of a quarter of the British participants.
Selecting the 600 strongest players from a quarter of British players is bound to be weaker compared to the selection from the entire British player population.
This will inevitably result in a weakening of the whole team’s combat power.
In the next Peak War in a week, if they go to war with Indian players again, they might genuinely be crushed!

The next day, in Rio.
Giselle only has one class in the morning and her part-time job is in the afternoon, so she rushes home after school without stopping.
After logging into the virtual world again, she doesn’t go shopping or goof around, but enters Cloud Dream’s player forum to look for money-making opportunities.
Cloud Dream does not mind users making money through the virtual world and has even set up a special [comprehensive trading section].
Since posting on the Cloud Dream forum is linked to their own Cloud Dream account, and Cloud Dream accounts are tied to users’ real identities, no one dares to post fraudulent threads unless they want to give up on the virtual world.
Not only do they not dare to deceive others, but they must also pay constant attention to their own reputation to continuously make money.
Once their reputation is ruined, it will be difficult to make money.
Changing names on the forum will not help, as once a complaint is made and proven to be true, that record will be recorded and displayed in the player’s profile forever.
Of course, this only applies to the [comprehensive trading section].
Upon entering the section, Giselle knows she has come to the right place.
She begins to quickly browse through posts to understand the industry and quickly discovers that the most profitable service is undoubtedly [hiring].
When players encounter difficult tasks or want to complete difficult achievements and find it challenging to do so, they will post [hiring] threads to ask for “boosting” help.
For experts to complete these tasks, they may only need ten minutes and receive a considerable remuneration.
But Giselle only took a few looks and stopped paying attention.
As a new beginner, she can only hire others but cannot do it herself.
The second category is [Transactions], various transactions of virtual currency or items.
You can make money from this, and it’s relatively low-tech, but it takes a lot of time.
Giselle has read a lot of posts in this category and recorded quite a few – even though she can’t do this job now, she might in the future.
After learning about trading, Giselle started to pay attention to the third category – [Game Partners].
It’s a project that almost covers all games.
Yes, all projects, even “Paradise”.
Giselle, shocked, saw a job posting for accompanying children in the prefix post of [“Paradise”· Amusement Park]!
She clicked in incredulously and found that only people with top-notch reputation and records could receive these types of orders.
– This actually made her feel relieved.
By the way, Giselle also found that there are even “Home Teacher” types of game partner orders, covering most subjects from elementary to high school, as well as interest courses such as ball games, chess, art, music, etc.
She was shocked by this discovery because it meant that there really are items and even textbooks in the virtual world that can realize these courses!
If yesterday’s shopping spree made an overall impression on her, then today’s posts refreshed her imagination of the virtual world in detail.
The pity is that Giselle is a pure newbie, with no records, so she can’t accept any of these jobs.
She can only look at those lower-demand [Game Partners]—
Accompanying games, accompanying fishing, accompanying shopping, accompanying eating and drinking, accompanying car racing… all kinds of things you can think of are actually here!
It’s just that these orders usually require good looks and physique.
Some orders’ requirements look like they’re searching for a “one-day girlfriend” or “one-day boyfriend.”
Even if not, good-looking people are more likely to get orders since everyone loves beauty.
Giselle nodded, thinking she could make this money.
She set the keywords [Game Partner], [Order], [Female], [Remuneration Ranking], refreshed the page, and started browsing again, planning to try an order.
There’s no risk in the virtual world anyway, so Giselle thought there’s no need to hesitate too long.
But as soon as she opened the first post, she felt something was off—
3 hours for 3,000 Reais?
This remuneration is too high!
Keep in mind, her work-study program earns her 2,200 Reais a month! And that’s after her boss knows she’s attending school and gives her special treatment.
Moreover, the employer in the post even said: if cooperation is pleasant, they can collaborate long-term, with a payment of 50,000 Reais every month!
50,000! Every month!
Giselle couldn’t believe such a big pie would fall from the sky.
She looked seriously at the employer’s requirements for those who accept the order: Interview in the virtual world, aged 18 to 24, gentle character, good appearance, good figure, height not less than 160cm, stable and daily online time, and can enter into a [Lover Contract].
Giselle counted on her fingers:
[Virtual World Interview], very normal.
Since meeting in the virtual world is so easy, many Game Partner orders will require a meeting first.
[Age 18 to 24], she just turned 22 this year because she started school early, so she can also meet this requirement.
[Gentle personality], Is it that simple?
It’s 50,000 Reais a month! How gentle do you want me to be? I’ll be as gentle as you want!
As for appearance, figure, and height, there are plenty of boys chasing her at school, but she has been busy studying and working part-time to make money, so she has no time for romance, so she should probably qualify.
As for the stable online time requirement…
If she could accept this job long-term, she would quit her part-time job in the afternoon!
As for Giselle, all the previous requirements can be met, except for the last one, which puzzles her a bit.
A lover contract?
What is that?
