# Factory Raw Material Purchases

In XTopPet, the market is a critical economic platform designed for advanced players, specifically those whose pets have reached level 7 and have unlocked factory capabilities. The market primarily supplies raw materials needed for advanced production activities, such as the production of jelly candys.

* **Market Unlock Conditions:** Upon reaching level 7 with their pets, players automatically unlock the market function, allowing them to purchase essential production materials. This feature ensures that players have sufficient gaming experience and resource management capabilities to make more complex decisions within the game's economic system.
* **Raw Material Supply and Initial Prices:** The market sells three basic raw materials needed for the production of jelly candys: sweet powder, white sugar, and green tea. Each material is essential for production, with specific quantities and roles that ensure diversity and complexity in the production process.The initial prices for these materials are as follows: jelly powder at 0.03 BXET/g, white sugar at 0.02 BXET/g, and green tea at 0.05 BXET/g.
* **Price Fluctuation Mechanism:** Raw material pricing is directly pegged to the price fluctuations of Ethereum (ETH), ensuring that the market reflects real-world economic dynamics. Specifically, the prices of raw materials are adjusted based on the percentage change in ETH prices over the past 24 hours. This design introduces an economic model that simulates real-world commodity price fluctuations, adding strategic depth and economic realism to the game. For example, if Ethereum's price rises by 2.6% within 24 hours, the base price of white sugar at 0.03 BXET will be adjusted to 0.0307 BXET, reflecting the market's dynamic changes and sensitive response to external economic factors.
* **Strategic Purchasing:** Since raw material prices are directly linked to Ethereum market prices, players need to closely monitor changes in the cryptocurrency market to optimize their purchasing strategies, thereby minimizing costs and increasing production efficiency. This requires not only basic resource management skills but also a certain level of market analysis ability to understand and predict market trends.

Through its market function, XTopPet encourages deep player engagement in the game's economic activities, enhancing both interactivity and challenge while allowing players to experience economic fluctuations and market risks similar to those in the real world. This design not only enriches the gameplay but also enhances players' understanding of and engagement with the game's economic cycles.
