After a few more operations like this, even Zhou Shou, as slow-witted as he was, could tell he was being targeted.
It was then that he took a closer look at the contract.
He discovered that the contract was for twenty years.
The penalty for breach of contract was ten million.
In addition to this, there were various other restrictions. While the profit-sharing ratio was good, there were no other advantages besides that.
Moreover, good profit-sharing was meaningless if there was no money to share. Millions or tens of millions in earnings with good profit sharing was great, but what good was good profit sharing for earnings in the tens or hundreds?
However, even though he knew he had been swindled, he was helpless. He understood clearly that he couldn't possibly contend with a company, so he had no choice but to temporarily lay low.
He even went to great lengths to appease his agent.
First, to apologize and ease the previous conflict.
Second, to understand why the agent was targeting him.
Unfortunately, he was destined not to get an answer.
As Zhou Shou's path of suffering and hardship officially got underway, Ding Yun gradually paid less attention to the specifics. She only asked about it occasionally, dedicating more of her energy to the Trans-dimensional Second-hand Trading device.
...
On Monday afternoon, in Ding Yun's new home.
She once again opened the forum where she had posted a bounty some time ago and checked for new replies.
Since the method for dealing with Zhou Shou had been decided, the two bounties she had posted earlier were now solely for improving the golden finger.
That's right, she had directly stated online that she wanted to write a novel and intended to create a second-hand trading golden finger that was convenient to use.
Considering that she hadn't received satisfactory answers from her previous bounties, Ding Yun not only increased the bounty amount but also uploaded the specific appearance, usage, and even the operation interface of the Trans-dimensional Second-hand Trading device she was currently using.
After all, there were no competitors in this world.
Who would think that what she uploaded was a real golden finger?
At most, people would grumble a little, thinking she was too troublesome for writing a novel, and that golden fingers were cheats anyway, so why bother with logic or service?
But surprisingly, whether it was because Ding Yun had set a relatively high bounty amount and lowered the standard for receiving it, with a portion of the prize money awarded for any adopted suggestion, or because she had uploaded more details about the internal workings of the Trans-dimensional Second-hand Trading device.
In any case, the comments suddenly became much more active.
Various nitpicky suggestions.
And there were more and more of them.
Ding Yun, therefore, took the time to review them!
[Based on the楼主's concept, I don't think it will have a significant impact, but there are indeed many flaws with room for improvement. It would be best to add an authentication and adaptation function.
In the楼主's setting, buyers can purchase items from different worlds, but the specific descriptions of those items are entirely up to the seller. Language is a peculiar thing; the same item can have many different descriptions, and buyers' understanding may not be the same.
Moreover, there are significant differences between different regions and countries, let alone different worlds.
The seller's understanding of the content might be completely different from the buyer's. Therefore, if an authentication function is added to the system, and this authentication function is adapted to the characteristics of both worlds to ensure that both parties can understand it with their own world's common sense, it should reduce many conflicts.]
[To be frank, a second-hand trading platform is inherently a rather redundant concept, especially when this setting is applied to a golden finger. Since cross-temporal trading is already possible, why not make it a normal and universal daily trading platform?
What does it mean to specifically add the word "second-hand"?
Does it mean new items cannot be sold?
Or is it that new items are too expensive and difficult to sell? No matter how expensive new items are, as long as they are traded across time and space, it is difficult to make a profit. Therefore, my suggestion is that this entire second-hand concept feels unnecessary.]
[I want to ask if this trading platform has a regulatory complaint department. If someone intentionally sells fake goods or engages in fraud by exploiting information asymmetry, etc.
Are there any channels for complaints or punishment?]
[I think the point system for exchanging transaction currency has flaws and can be improved. What if the initial user has no merit or luck, and no money, and is just a pauper?
Therefore, more exchangeable items should be added.
For example, lifespan, souls, etc. If necessary, I think a lending function could also be introduced.
After all, cross-temporal trading is hard not to profit from. As long as there are no accidents, loans can always be repaid.]
[If one is determined to pick holes and find fault, there will definitely be many flaws. For example, why can merit and luck only be exchanged for transaction currency, but transaction currency cannot be used to exchange for merit and luck? This is clearly a unilateral clause.
Also, how is merit and luck calculated?
What happens when merit and luck reach zero or fall below a certain point? These are not clearly explained. Who knows if there are any traps? Therefore, relevant information should be clearly marked and reminded to users on the exchange page.
Finally, why have you only created pages for buying items, and not for selling them? Since it is a second-hand trading platform, there should be both buying and selling. If it's purely for buying.
Then why not just make it a shopping platform?
Transactions should always be a two-way street...]
[I think everything I wanted to say has already been said, so I'll just offer one minor suggestion. This golden finger should also have a danger assessment function.
Some items might be harmless in one's own world but dangerous in other worlds. If such items are not assessed.
And their purchase is prohibited or restricted.
It could lead to countless problems.
Take, for example, the merchant selling zombie cores from the apocalypse that the楼主 mentioned. Although he clearly indicated that the cores contained zombie virus and said it could be eliminated by burning with fire, his statements were based on his own common sense. His world had long been infiltrated by the zombie virus, and they might even have antibodies.
Therefore, they could safely handle the zombie cores and burn them with fire, and it seemed to cause no pollution.
In a world already contaminated.
Adding a little more pollution would feel insignificant.
However, if it were to be brought to a world where the zombie virus does not exist, just a trace of the virus leaking out, or if the core is not completely burned by fire, it could lead to a zombie apocalypse in another world.]
