Cosmic Trading System

Under Lin Yun's arrangement, the virtual reality headsets began to be sold.

The factory price was one thousand Huaxia currency per unit, and per Lin Yun's instructions, various countries couldn't impose too high a tax, and the retailers couldn't set too high a price either.

This rule was well respected by all countries, with the highest tax being only twenty percent. Continue your adventure with empire

Now, Qingyun Company's product sales were incredibly hot, often unable to meet the demand. Retailers naturally didn't want to violate Lin Yun's rules. In fact, some retailers, in order to ingratiate themselves with Qingyun Company, were selling at cost or even at a loss, all to grab the attention of Qingyun Company.

Thus, the virtual reality headsets started selling in various countries at a price around 1500 Huaxia currency at the highest and around 1000 at the lowest.

Although the price was neither too low nor too high compared with the value of VR headsets, they were definitely very cheap.

Lin Yun initially thought of providing these headsets that could deliver spiritual energy as free gifts. However, he considered that many people wouldn't value free items. If they got them and didn't use them, a good quality item like the VR headset could end up being disregarded or destroyed.

For example, there were some elderly people who didn't like playing games but who loved free things. They could line up in the middle of the night for a one-dollar item. They might not want to use the headset, but after getting it for free, they might damage it and sell it as scrap.

This was not an unlikely scenario.

The limited quantity of VR headsets would not be conducive to the use rate of the headsets.

But a price over one thousand Huaxia Currency would largely prevent this situation from happening. At the very least, a majority of the people willing to pay for headsets would use them.

As Lin Yun had estimated, upon initial release sales were decent, but they didn't reach a state of supply shortage immediately.

After all, a product that costs over a thousand Huaxia Currency might seem insignificant to citizens of some developed countries, but to residents of developing or less developed countries, it was not something that could be overlooked.

You couldn't just buy an item at this price without consideration.

On the first day, only eight million headsets were sold.

These were mainly purchased by previous users of Qingyun Company's products. They trusted Qingyun's products intensely, perhaps even superstitiously, especially due to the video released a few days ago that had bred high anticipation for the upcoming game.

In fact, considering that the game had not yet been launched at the time the headsets were first put on sale, the sales volume on the first day was impressive.

However, on the second day, the number of sales reached thirty million.

By the third day, the number had reached eighty million.

It was an explosive growth.

Although the game had not yet been launched, the VR headsets could already be used, and users could experience some virtual reality scenarios. Everyone who tried was utterly shocked. These testers were the best publicity for the product.

After three days, the total sales had reached over one hundred million, and on the fourth day, Qingyun Company sold out.

Now, Qingyun Company could produce fifty million VR headsets every day. As soon as they were made, they were sent to various sales areas. To speed up shipping, Lin Yun even had his robots transport the items using flying cars and space material transport.

On the fifth day, with the expansion of the production line, the company could produce one hundred million VR headsets every day.

At the same time, the game officially launched.

There still needed to be a purchase of the game server. A server capable of absorbing and refining the spiritual energy of a hundred million people required at the very least thirty thousand Spirit Crystals. If integrated with a Level Three Spirituality, it could be upgraded to accommodate two hundred million people.

Furthermore, incorporating a local Spirituality could enhance the server's efficiency in absorbing and refining spiritual energy by thirty to fifty percent.

This was why Lin Yun was so eager to acquire the Level Three Spirituality.

A server capable of absorbing and refining the spiritual energy of a billion people required at the very least two hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Crystals. If integrated with a Level Four Spirituality, it could be upgraded to accommodate two billion people.

Lin Yun initially purchased five servers each capable of absorbing and refining the spiritual energy of a hundred million people. Coupled with the five Level Three Spiritualities that Lin Yun already owned, these could absorb and refine the spiritual energy of a billion people, which was sufficient for the time being.

With the shocking visuals, realistic effects, vast amount of cultivation information, and a huge user base, some had already experienced significant improvement in their abilities.

All these factors shocked every user of the VR headsets.

There were two significant factors. Firstly, the game server transformed a portion of the absorbed and refined spiritual energy into different types of data, like monsters, some designs in life skills, and so on.

Every monster you killed, every level you detburacted, every life skill you enhanced, your Mental Strength would genuinely improve.

Similarly, if you died once, your Mental Strength would decrease.

However, whether the increase or decrease, it wasn't substantial. Especially for a decrease in Mental Strength, it wouldn't drop much. The increase in one's Mental Strength was achieved using the excess spiritual energy emitted by all people. The decrease in one's Mental Strength, on the other hand, stripped someone of their Mental Strength, which was too overbearing.

The main purpose of this game was for users to rapidly improve their abilities, not to ruin anyone.

If you died three times within a day, you wouldn't be allowed to log in anymore. By this time, a person's Mental Strength would be extremely exhausted. After a good night's sleep, the player would wake up without sustaining much damage.

In the long term, as long as you weren't deliberately asking for trouble, you should be able to become stronger through this game.

The second significant factor was the PK arena. A PK player who won a certain number of matches could earn Mental Strength rewards, actual Mental Strength rewards.

A small reward could slightly increase your Mental Strength, whereas a large reward could significantly boost your Mental Strength or even upgrade it to a higher level.

The scope for improvement in this design was broader.

Both these designs consumed energy from Spirit Crystals. Lin Yun could have eliminated these designs, but he chose not to. They not only enhanced the appeal of the game but also catered to his intention of rapidly upgrading a group of elites.

The future was not a world for one person, but for everyone.

If the lower levels were too weak, even when the upper levels were strong, it would only be an illusion. It would collapse with one touch from an external force.

When the headsets were sold, Lin Yun specifically prioritized the cities that did not have professional equipment for absorbing and refining spiritual energy. As a result, the majority of people who entered the game hadn't provided Lin Yun with spiritual energy before.

On the first day, the game servers allowed Lin Yun to harvest an additional eight thousand Spirit Crystals. Together with the Spirit Crystals obtained from the professional spiritual energy absorption and refinement equipment that Lin Yun had originally set up, Lin Yun now obtained more than forty-three thousand Spirit Crystals every day.

At the moment, compared with the global population, the quantity of VR headsets was limited and not many people were playing the game. However, as the number of people playing the game increased over time, Lin Yun's harvest would grow accordingly.
