COSG - Chapter 18.1: Let's Grind!

First day of the open beta, 6 p.m., 11 hours (real time) after the game was "officially in operation."

Yang Qiu, squatting in Exile Town's Town Hall, was silently monitoring the currency flow between players and "NPCs."

The concept of gold farming was non-existent by design in this game. The reason was simple: money in this game was actual physical currency, not just data.

In short, to increase players' motivation to do quests and allow the limited currency to circulate infinitely, means of currency sink had to be established to counteract the NPCs' distribution of copper coins via quests.

At present, there were two main currency sinks. The first being an "essential item" that players needed, which was a waist bag sold by the tailor Yarisha
