This Game Is Too Realistic-Chapter 336.3: The Damn Devs Are Exploiting Players Again!
Chapter 336.3: The Damn Devs Are Exploiting Players Again!
However...
Everyone wasn't thrilled.
The post exploded instantly with replies.
Sideline Slacking: Motherfucker! Why is it you again?!
Escaping Mole: You damn lucky dog! Go to hell!
Quit Smoking: Rigged! This is definitely rigged!
Spring Water Commander: Rigged my foot! I had 120,000 points, why can't I win?! It’s a 1,200 draw, my brother!
However, his explanation clearly didn't convince the masses.
The casual players didn't care much.
Silver's Father: This is ridiculous! Even a slacker like him also has 120,000 points, why do I only have 30,000?
Garbage: Sob sob, this is unjust! Devs, please nerf him!
Neighbour Wang: Support! I support wholeheartedly! We need to nerf his ass!
Suddenly, Spring Water Commander panicked and quickly deleted the post, but it was too late.
The screenshot of the equipment had spread all over the official website. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
According to the information displayed in the screenshot, the Annihilator Type I Exoskeleton was larger than the Heavy Cavalry exoskeleton by a good margin, nearly as big as an exoframe.
Unlike the Heavy Cavalry exoskeleton, the armor of the Annihilator Type I primarily focused on protection against explosive fragments and shockwaves.
It was visibly bulky due to a thick layer of cushioning material lining the armor's interior.
When the 120mm mortar on the back was deployed, the wearer must place both hands firmly on the ground, akin to a sprinter's starting position, and they should remain stationary.
With an automatic loading system and sufficient ammunition, theoretically, one deployed unit could project a massive amount of firepower onto the target area in a short time.
It was almost like an all-terrain self-propelled mortar that could fit into narrow alleys!
It was almost like a cheat in urban warfare.
Nevertheless, due to its excessive weight, the bulky chemical energy battery, and the external ammunition rack, it wasn't suitable for deployment to the frontlines.
To put it bluntly, this equipment was riddled with weaknesses; it would be terribly awkward to face someone up close with it on.
Players from the Storm Corps all expressed that with the equipment in the game, they would require quite an effort to survive.
But frankly speaking, having a round of close-range fire support before an attack would be terrific.
That wasn't the only new equipment in the reward pool.
The game company had prepared a total of 10 grand prizes for this event, with half of them being previously unseen.
However, the exoskeleton with the mortar wasn't necessarily the most impressive.
After all, this kind of equipment was only useful in specific situations, and ammunition was also an issue.
In terms of overall combat effectiveness, it might not even surpass the Type 5 Light Cavalry.
- Plasma sword! Amazing! I'm changing my class to Force Warrior!
- Magnetic sling... What's this for? Shooting birds?
- Portable flight backpack... I don't get it; are they planning to make me a target in the sky?
- Hahaha, maybe you can negotiate with the guy above to become a bird.

In the school's computer lab.
Browsing through the official forum posts, Ye Wei felt a pang of envy.
Damn it!
He had also saved tens of thousands of points, but why couldn't he draw an SSSR?!
His account was definitely balanced by the game developers!
But in reality, it didn't matter. One shouldn't be too greedy.
His earnings in the expansion pack were far more than those points; even if his account was balanced, there was nothing to complain about.
The construction of the new map, Daybreak City, had just begun, and the orders at the Bull and Horse Brick Factory were already scheduled until the end of the year. They were currently expanding production crazily.
It wasn't just bricks; they were also dealing in cement, all within their business scope.
Although there were a few new competitors popping up in Dawn City recently, trying to snatch their business, they couldn't compare in scale to their shelter-controlled factory.
Switching from the closed beta player subforum, Ye Wei glanced at the casual gamers' forum, wanting to see what the cloud gamers were discussing.
However, as soon as he saw the first post, he chuckled. "...Silver coins are rising in price?"
What kind of joke was this?
It was not that the price of silver would not rise. In fact, it had risen before. However, normally, it would only rise when new expansions or gameplays were introduced. It couldn't possibly rise at the end of an expansion.
After the settlement of the expansion, everyone's pockets were filled with silver coins, and there was no immediate need to exchange them for equipment. Even the rich wouldn't buy silver coins using real world money at this moment.
Not to mention, in the past few battles, the expansion was doling out money like crazy, and a few big players were constantly cashing out silver coins to improve their lives in the real world. In the last few days, the selling price of silver coins had even dropped to the single digits.
"Heh, let's see how far it rises." Out of curiosity, Ye Wei casually checked the silver coins trading platform.
The moment he looked, he froze. "What the hell?!"
8 USD per silver coin?!
He double-checked multiple time. Those were buy orders, not sell orders.
And there wasn’t just one.
There were 10 batches of buy orders, each for 100,000 silver coins, lined up with a 1 USD difference!
Those at the top had already been 40% fulfilled; the $7 and $6 buy orders were yet to be completed since the highest-priced buy order hadn't been fully taken.
It wasn't just in USD; there were buy orders in RMB, Euros, and other currencies.
The bids were getting more ludicrous by the minute!
It was as if overnight, they were back to the time when the silver coin trading platform had just launched.
"Have these people gone mad?!"
Looking at the buy order for 52 RMB, Ye Wei felt his heart racing, sweat oozing from the palm of his hand gripping the mouse.
His initial reaction was to sell off his coins.
He felt that he had to quickly get rid of the goods while there was still a chance! If he missed this opportunity, there might not be another chance!
However, this thought only lingered in his mind for half a minute; he calmed down.
This situation was a bit suspicious!
The entire trading platform was completely locked with buy orders, not a single sell order was visible.
Who was throwing money around?
Taking a deep breath, Ye Wei restrained the impulse to sell and quickly picked up his phone from the table, swiftly typing a message to his buddies in the chat group.
Night Ten: Hurry!
- Check the silver coin trading platform!!!
