"For instance, in the 500 Fixed Star Coupon prize pool, the grand prize is a ’Level 10 Refrigerator,’ while the 2000 Fixed Star Coupon prize pool offers the grand prize of a ’Murphy Stone.’ Besides, we can set so minor prizes like ’Ten-Draw Discount Coupon’ and ’Hundred-Draw Discount Coupon,’ guaranteeing a grand prize by the 289th draw, or sothing like that."
"We also have many extrely profitable products."
"Take the ’mory Bank,’ for example. All the money made there is pure profit. We’ve removed the mory acquisition service, leaving only the mory sale service..."
"That’s good."
Chen Mang interrupted Li Shiji with a smile, "Let’s not talk about the mory Bank for now; not many people’s Spiritual Power ets the standards for mory implantation. But your idea of a lottery wheel is very interesting; make sure to implent it."
"No problem. So, are we going with pseudo-random or true random? Pseudo-random involves setting a profit-loss ratio..."
"True random."
"If we’re going to play, let’s play for real. You handle the probabilities."
"No problem. Then, Master Mang, can I select a few items to only be available on the lottery wheel, making it the only way to get those items?"
"Sure."
"Hmm?"
At that mont, Chen Mang slightly furrowed his brows and glanced at the overcrowded custom shops on both sides of the street: "Mr. Li, check how much profit those shops are making now."
"1,080,000 Fixed Star Coupons."
"Goodness..."
Chen Mang was sowhat stunned. In just four or five hours, these custom shops had already made 1,080,000, accounting for a tenth of the total turnover. What a joke, these shops were supposed to be just extras initially.
He genuinely thought no one would spend precious iron ore on these things in the Doomsday scenario.
But things seed a bit different from his expectations.
The first ti visiting Neon City, so many people went to the custom shops because everyone had very little initial capital. If they didn’t spend it there, they couldn’t afford other things. But this ti, they were spending hard cash.
"..."
After a mont of silence, Chen Mang instructed, "Go back and tell Old Pig to see if there are any madams on the train from the Doomsday era. Those robot madams aren’t very professional; get a few professional ones."
"Yes."
Even if he didn’t understand, as long as there was money to be made, he’d take it.
"Check the accounts and see what people are buying the most."
Mr. Li glanced at the tablet in his hand and quickly began to report: "The highest turnover is from the casino, with a flow reaching 21.89 million in four hours. Since, according to your rules, Master Mang, the casino doesn’t bet against custors but allows guests to bet against each other, the casino takes a rake."
"We set a 3% rake from the winner, and specific net data is still being compiled."
"There are quite a few Train Captains gambling in the casino."
"So of them have personal grudges and it got a bit heated between them. Two of the 12-level chanical Train Captains contributed 16.82 million to the flow."
"Hmm."
Chen Mang nodded. While the flow seed large, not much iron ore had actually been converted into Fixed Star Coupons. After all, if you lose to , and I lose back to you, back and forth, it all adds to the flow.
Flow doesn’t equate to gambling capital.
Flow is the total amount generated during gambling through repeated betting, accumulating wins and losses.
Mr. Li scrolled a bit further and continued, "Next, the hottest commodity is the ’Spatial Bag,’ and the ’Level 10 Refrigerator’ is also selling quite well, with the performance of the rest of the products being good on average."
"Many random white-grade Accessory Blueprints have been completely sold out, and there’s no way to restock for now."
"Moreover, Master Mang, on the ’Suggestion Board’ you set up, there are also several suggestions."
"The first suggestion is that slaves cannot be traded in Neon City."
"The second suggestion is that there aren’t enough types of products."
"The third suggestion is that it’s unfriendly to low-level trains; not many low-level trains can afford the products."
...
"..."
Walking down the street, Chen Mang nodded and didn’t say much. These suggestions were all very good, but... couldn’t be resolved.
One major function of the gathering is to trade slaves.
But Neon City can’t do that.
It’s restricted by the granted rules.
All Train Captains, whether entering or leaving Neon City, can only bring their Train mbers. They can’t use another Train Captain’s Admission Ticket to leave for that Captain’s train. Neon City is destined to be unable to trade slaves; there’s no way around it.
As for product types.
He’s working on that. He kept many white-grade Accessory Blueprints, hoping to draw similar products like ’Spatial Bags’ to enrich the product variety.
Regarding being unfriendly to low-level trains...
There’s nothing that can be done.
