Chapter 73: President Wen Is Never Short of Money

Game character transactions can only be made a month later, but for other categories, trading is available from the very first day the server opens.

Yu Qian chose her own server and clicked into the items section. The equipment list was completely empty; no one was selling anything. She hadn’t hoped for any equipment to be available, so there was no disappointment.

Instead, the silver coins section gave Yu Qian a pleasant surprise—someone was actually selling silver coins, though the exchange rate was rather steep: a hundred yuan would only buy three hundred thousand silver coins.

She hesitated, unsure whether to buy or not. If she bought them, the rate was a clear loss; but if she didn’t, the coins would be useless to her.

Wen Xiu, noticing her staring at the computer with a conflicted expression, grew curious and leaned over, “Oh, you can buy silver coins!”

“There’s already someone selling silver coins?” Zhou Jingchen was a bit surprised. He had only told Yu Qian about this platform so she’d know she could trade here safely without worrying about scammers; he hadn’t expected anyone would be selling silver coins right after the server opened.

On the Yunzhou Trading Platform, aside from game characters and spirit beasts—which require a public listing period before being put up for sale—everything else can be listed directly without any announcement.

“Yes, but the rate is so low that I’m hesitating,” she replied with a troubled tone.

“Buy them! It’s not like we’re short on money,” Wen Xiu waved her hand, making the decision for her.

Me!

President Wen!

Not short on money!

Buy them, no need to hesitate!

Since Yu Qian was underage, she couldn’t bind her own bank card for transactions. Wen Xiu intended to bind her own card for Yu Qian, but Zhou Jingchen interrupted, “Of the four of us, you’re the only one who can successfully complete a transaction.”

Wen Xiu looked up and glared at him. “Why?”

“The company has a rule—underage players aren’t allowed to spend money on the platform, to prevent them from spending their parents’ hard-earned money uncontrollably.” Zhou Jingchen rubbed his nose, awkwardly explaining.

...

Yu Qian was speechless, unsure how to even complain about this.

In the end, Wen Xiu spoke up, “Ninety percent of gamers are underage. If you don’t let them spend money here, they’ll just trade offline, which is even more likely to lead to scams.”

Now it was Zhou Jingchen’s turn to be speechless. Right, why hadn’t he thought of that? “So what should we do?”

“Just set a spending limit based on age. The younger the player, the lower the limit. Once they reach adulthood, remove the restriction.” Yu Qian offered a suggestion.

After all, the account was bound to the player’s own ID number. With that, it was easy to tell whether someone was of age or not.

Of course, if someone registered with someone else’s ID, that would be a different story.

Zhou Jingchen stroked his chin, considering whether Yu Qian’s idea would work.

Wen Xiu didn’t disturb his thoughts. Instead, she and Yu Qian focused on the bank card binding issue.

“Bind it to your account. I used my own ID when I registered. If Zhou Jingchen doesn’t change this rule, this platform will be completely useless to me until I come of age,” Yu Qian said to Wen Xiu after thinking it over.

“Alright. If you want to buy anything, you can use my account for now and then trade it to you after,” Wen Xiu agreed.

“Yes.”

Once the bank card was bound, Wen Xiu immediately bought up all the listings in the silver coin section.

When you have money, you can be extravagant.

“There were only a dozen listings, not even five million in total. That’s not enough for everyone in our team to get a million each,” Yu Qian said with a resigned sigh.

“You and Fuxi and Nuwa can get a million each. The rest, Chu Yueyue and I will split,” Wen Xiu decided after a moment’s thought.

After collecting the silver coins from the market, she returned and distributed the money to the other four members, then privately messaged Nuwa: “Your Majesty, you have to bind your ID number to remove the anti-addiction restrictions in this game. Yunzhou Trading Platform also requires it. Do you need me to get you a fake ID?”

“No need, we’ve all bound our real IDs. For something like this, it’s child’s play for Fuxi to handle,” Nuwa replied quickly.

Wen Xiu paused for a moment. How could she have forgotten about Fuxi, the master hacker?
